Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1329: Crack

”Alright, since you’re looking for death, don’t blame me!” Thomson was enraged, provoked by Lu Xiaobu’s arrogance!

He picked up a pen and quickly wrote his name on the life-and-death agreement, imprinting his handprint.

At the same time, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

This guy was dead for sure.

He was infuriated here, yet he didn’t notice the helpless look in the host’s eyes beside him.

The host, especially someone who could make it to hosting the Grammys, was undoubtedly well-versed in such matters.

She had seen many at Lu Xiaobu’s level, and even some slightly lower than Lu Xiaobu’s level of wealth.

However, when facing similar provocations, none of these people handled it like Lu Xiaobu did, with duels and life-and-death agreements.

They would simply wave their hands and crush their opponents with immense wealth and influence.

After all, the value between the two sides was different. Thomson, an WWE fighter, who cares about his death? What was he worth?

But Lu Xiaobu? The loss of even a single hair could cause a tremor across the world.

Yet, now these two existences were actually going to duel?!

What was Lu Xiaobu thinking?

Isn’t it rather childish?

What if you were walking down the street, and someone insulted you, would you also stop the car for a duel?

Ah, it’s such a headache!

Su Luoxue, watching the host’s eyes from the side, smiled faintly: ”This isn’t childish, it’s a kind of mercy.”

”Huh?” The host frowned instantly: ”What do you mean.”

She didn’t mind having her thoughts seen through, as she’d encountered similar abilities in many assistants of bigshots she’d met.

After all, there’s a phrase in Heavenly Dynasty, ’Threatened by the tiger’, if you don’t have this ability, how can you serve your master well?

”If the boss chose to use wealth and power to crush, undoubtedly, someone would immediately choose to support Thomson, making the situation worse.” Su Luoxue said flatly: ”I think you know who I’m talking about.”

The host nodded.

She knew, the American Government.

”Very well, if it’s just the strong against the weak, crushing is fine, but when the weaker side has the support of the force you have in mind, the result is a collision, where the fish in the moat suffer as the city gate catches fire, who suffers then?” Su Luoxue said lightly.

”This...” The host fell silent, also shocked.

She had never thought about it this way.

Yeah, the fish in the moat suffer as the city gate catches fire!

Who are the fish in the moat?

The Grammys and everyone present, they’re all the fish in the moat!

The first to bear the brunt!

She couldn’t help but swallow, and when she looked at Lu Xiaobu again, her gaze completely transformed.

”Don’t use your thoughts to conjecture my boss’s ideas, otherwise, you’ll invite unnecessary trouble for yourself.” Su Luoxue said finally.

The host didn’t argue, nodded, and stayed silent.

She knew, Su Luoxue was right.

...

At this moment, the life-and-death agreement was signed.

Thomson looked at Lu Xiaobu with murderous intent in his eyes, he decided to cut this Lu Xiaobu in half!

To let him know what pain is, what power is, what true strength is!

”Die!” Thomson directly charged forward.

Acting first is an eternal truth.

He used his massive fist to unleash a straight punch!

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu neither dodged nor avoided, simply extending his hand.

A trace of disdain appeared in Thomson’s eyes, did this guy think he could hit him before his attack landed?

With those skinny arms and legs, what if he did hit?

”Pa!”

Thomson hit Lu Xiaobu.

At the same time, Lu Xiaobu also struck Thomson’s—throat!

The throat, one of the most vulnerable yet most lethally easy parts of the body, could be fatal with just a gentle blow.

Some might say, boxers’ instinctual actions would protect their throats.

They attack with their heads lowered, how could Lu Xiaobu strike the throat!

Yes, yes, their heads are lowered, supposedly protected.

But can a lowered head truly leave no gaps at all?

You can try lowering your head, when you leave no gap, can you still watch your opponent’s attack?

”Crack.”

No hesitation, no waiting.

The crisp sound ended everything.

Lu Xiaobu withdrew his hand, no longer sparing Thomson a glance, instead he said to the host, ”Call him an ambulance, dying here wouldn’t look good.”

Thomson clutched his throat, full of disbelief, and fell down with a crash!

Why?!

Why didn’t his punch work?!

Why was this skinny Lu Xiaobu’s strength so strong?

None of this seemed right!

Muscles, no muscles, where did the strength come from?!

The Grammy venue fell silent, only a few whispering.

”So strong, really strong.”

”Yeah, always thought Lu Xiaobu relied on his bodyguards, didn’t expect he himself is this strong!”

”He actually attacked the throat?! Isn’t that against the rules?”

”Ridiculous, this is a life-and-death duel, not a ring fight!”

”...”

Beyond those whispers, there was not much noise or questioning.

At most, some covered their eyes.

As for panic or terror, running or calling for help, none of that happened.

In America, this kind of duel or shooting deaths is somewhat... how to say it? There’s an endurance for it!

They live in a country where shooting and killing within the bounds of the law is possible, so their acceptance of death surpasses that of Heavenly Dynasty’s people.

Thus, those who needed to call an ambulance called one, those who needed to manage the scene managed it, and those who needed to wait, waited, all smoothly.

When it was evident Thomson had more breathing out than in as he was carried away, no one mentioned it again.

Oh, the only mention came when the belated FBI received the life-and-death contract Lu Xiaobu had for them, the surveillance on scene, and then left after noting the lawyer’s number.

The Grammys continued, as if nothing had happened.

The only upheaval likely came from Henry.

”Gulp.”

Henry swallowed, full of disbelief.

Yet, immediately, he was overwhelmed with boundless excitement and joy!

It’s real! It’s truly real!

This world indeed possesses superpowers, otherwise known as the power of Qi!

This time, nothing could shake his belief!

It’s definitely real! It’s definitely the power of Qi!

He must learn it, to be a servant or a horse if he must!

Learn the power of Qi!

Don’t ask why he’s so persistent, because it’s his dream, and a dream for which he’s given up everything, his only dream left.

Without it, he would have nothing!
