Chapter 1063 Unusual
A voice materialized from thin air, sending shivers down Jiang Tianxing’s spine. He shifted uneasily in his chair, his eyes darting around the room.
“As long as… as long as I bring that person here, will you have a chance to deal with that guy?” Jiang Tianxing’s voice trembled with uncertainty. “Is this true?
Don’t lie to me.”
He refused to believe it. He hadn’t even met this mysterious voice, and trusting a stranger felt reckless and potentially disastrous.
“Do you want your son’s death to be in vain? This is your last chance. Do what I say, and you can avenge him. Additionally, I will reward you handsomely, beyond your wildest dreams.”
“This is your last chance. If you seize it, not only can you kill your enemy, but I
can also help you become the City Lord of Black Dragon City.” Jiang Tianxing’s eyes widened as greed flickered in his heart.
“City Lord? Me… I can be the City Lord?”
“Of course. With my support, it’s only a matter of time.”
“Let’s set the destination in your backyard. Lure him there, and I’ll set a trap. Once he’s trapped, your part is done. As long as you help me kill Lu Yu, you’ll receive your reward.”
“Uh… alright, I think I can do that. But what if he doesn’t come?”
“That’s your problem, not mine.”
Jiang Tianxing scratched his head, his mind a whirlwind of confusion. He was unsure how to proceed.
“Alright. I’ll try my best.”
“Who are you? I feel uneasy working with a stranger.”
“If I revealed my ident.i.ty, why would I need to communicate in the shadows? Why wouldn’t I simply confront you directly? This is your last chance. You have two days to bring him to the backyard. I will kill him, and you will get everything you desire.”
Jiang Tianxing nodded fervently. Revenge for his son had become secondary; the allure of higher status and power had taken hold.
“Alright, I’ll figure something out!”
He paced the room, lost in thought, formulating various plans.
Suddenly, Hu Mang approached him.
“Boss, how about this? Let’s f.u.c.k it. I’ll go directly to provoke him and lure him here.”
“Provoke him directly? What if it backfires?” Jiang Tianxing expressed his concern.
“But Boss, if we use other excuses and fail, he’ll still kill us.’
“So, it doesn’t matter how we approach him. We can’t afford to fail. This is all or nothing. We need to succeed, and quickly.”
Jiang Tianxing sighed in agreement. “You have a point. Go provoke him and tell him I want to settle the score. Ask him to come see me.”
“Me? What if he attacks me on the spot?” Hu Mang stammered nervously. “Can’t you control the way you provoke him? Go now! Don’t waste time!”
“This is our chance for revenge and wealth. Do a good job, and I’ll reward you handsomely.”
Hu Mang gulped nervously. “Boss, promise me. If I do well, you will reward me.”
He turned and scurried away. Jiang Tianxing watched him leave, a smirk playing on his lips.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu strolled out of the villa. The streets of Black Dragon City were relatively quiet during the day, bustling only at night.
Given the city’s reliance on hunting for a livelihood, most residents were out hunting during the day, returning with their spoils at night. Under the cloak of darkness, they’d gather around bonfires to feast on roasted meat, bringing life to the streets.
As Lu Yu walked the deserted streets, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind. He turned around to find Hu Mang.
Taken aback, Hu Mang stopped in his tracks.
“Hu Mang? Did you follow me because you want to talk?” “Yes. I have something to tell you, or rather, my boss does.”
“It doesn’t matter what he has to say. I’m leaving.”
Hu Mang hurriedly stepped in Lu Yu’s path, his actions igniting annoyance in the latter.
“Move, or you’ll regret it.” Lu Yu’s voice was cold and indifferent.
“Lu Yu, you better return. Our boss wants to see you, and you have no choice.”
Lu Yu chuckled dryly. “Your boss, Jiang Tianxing, suddenly finds his courage? Did someone give him a confidence boost? He was practically begging for mercy earlier, and now he dares to threaten me?”
“That’s right. Our boss wants to see you, and if you refuse, you’ll face the consequences.” Hu Mang puffed out his chest, trying to sound imposing.
“Consequences? Tell me, what are these supposed consequences?” Lu Yu challenged; his eyes narrowed.
“If you disobey him, you’ll risk the kid beside you in Black Dragon City. We have people everywhere, and you’ll be cornered sooner or later!” Hu Mang declared proudly.
“Therefore, I advise you to come with me. Though you’re strong, you’re only one person and can’t fight an entire city. Understand?”
Lu Yu scoffed. “You people are truly amusing. Your audacity has increased significantly in mere minutes. Alright, I’ll go. I’m curious to see who decided to pick a fight with me!”
“Excellent! You’ve got guts. Then follow me!” Hu Mang turned and began walking, Lu Yu trailing close behind.
“Hu Mang, tell me,” Lu Yu said, his voice low and dangerous, “who gave you the courage to provoke me?”
“That… you’re overthinking it. It’s simply because our boss can’t stand it anymore. He loved his son dearly and felt compelled to avenge him.”
Lu Yu shrugged with a hint of indifference. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t waste time revealing your lies. But one thing’s for sure, regardless of the outcome, you’re all finished. I’m only interested in finding out who’s behind this.” With a steely resolve, Lu Yu followed Hu Mang back to the villa.
In the front yard, Jiang Tianxing saw Lu Yu walking toward him, and he laughed out loud..
