“Uncle Lu! It’s was exactly like what everyone else said! Changwei, he was maniacal, and that was why Mr. Chen had no choice but to kill him!” Dong Xiaonwu explained.
Right now, as the son of the governor he was the only one who had priviledge to speak. Everyone else was in no position to speak, nor had they the guts to!
“Young governor! Say no more! I, Lu Ming Jun, only has that one son! The pain of losing a son pierces deep into the bones! If I don’t avenge him, I am not human!”
Lu Mingjun’s face was frosty, and his tone was thick with fury.
Had it been someone else other than Dong Xiaowu talking to him, he would have beat the person to death with one strike.
“But…” Dong Xiaowu was not done.
“Young governor! Put yourself in my shoes! If you were the one who died, do you think the governor would let the killer off the hook?” Lu Mingjun cut in with his aura forcing unto him.
Dong Xiaowu sucked in a breath of cold air when he felt the powerful presence. He suddenly had this feeling that Lu Mingjun was going to kill him.
Lu Mingjun only had one son, and he spent all his energy, time and resources into nurturing the family’s heir. How could Lu Mingjun walk away from the fact that Chen Xiaobei had just killed his one and only son?
But Lu Changwei deserved to die! He had it coming!
However, Lu Mingjun was being unreasonably wilful, and despicably arrogant simply because his cultivation and his standing was above the others. The people said nothing because they were afraid of him, but in reality, they were all repulsed by him!
“I’ve already said that whoever that can hand over Chen Xiaobei to me will be rewarded with 10 thousand low-grade Spiritual Stones! A great opportunity like comes by only every once in a while!” Lu Mingjun shouted.
No one responded.
After experiencing the brush with death during the earlier battles, 99% of the surviving people had already become Chen Xiaobei’s disciples. They would never betray him.
“What? No one wants to tell?” When Lu Mingjun saw that no one was willing to cooperate, he decided to threaten them. “This mothership behind me is under my jurisdiction! Evey day the Chen guy is not killed, is another day the spacecraft doesn’t fly! If none of you want’s to go home, we can all stay here forever!”
After the catastrophe they had just went through, everyone had their hearts set on going home. Lu Changwei’s threat hit them where it hurt most, causing them to be troubled and angry.
Yet, no one was willing to sell Chen Xiaobei out.
“You group of ungrateful, snot-nosed bastards! I am so pissed right now!” Having made no progress, Lu Mingjun was burning under the collar. “Back in Silver Plume, your families cried and begged me to help! But you refused to give me face! When I get back, I will make damn sure to suggest to your families that they should change heirs!”
At once, the people’s faces fell.
The South Town Lu Family’s influence in Silver Plume City trumped that of the governor. If the Lus pressured down hard enough, the little families would not dare defy his orders.
This threat was clearly so much harsher than the previous one. Lu Mingjun thought that this bullying would eventually cause someone to break and give Chen Xiaobei away.
What Lu Mingjun did not expect was that no one responded to his promises of rewards, and no one said anything even when he gave them an ultimatum.
Threats and bribes, and sugar-coated bullets. Lu Mingjun did everything he could think of and still no one blew the whistle on Chen Xiaobei.
Lu Mingjun felt as if he was a helium balloon about to explode.
He was the master of the South Town Temple Lu family! Yet, he could not compete with a lowlife outsider?
How humiliating!
“There’s no need to trouble everyone. I’ve come here to present myself to you. If you have the balls, then go ahead and kill me!”
While everyone was protecting Chen Xaiobei, Chen Xiaobei came forward and showed himself. He even openly challenged Lu Mingjun.
That was, in everyone else’s opinion, a stupid, self-sabotaging act!
“Mr. Chen, why have you come? We told you to hide first, didn’t we?”
Everyone was shocked to see him.
“Don’t worry. I don’t need to hide. Lu Mingjun wouldn’t dare kill me!”
The crowd gasped in surprise as Chen Xiaobei made his way through them and towards Lu Mingjun, an unconcerned expression on his face.
“You little piece of shit! Did you eat the leopard’s gut for lunch? You actually came and present yourself to me!” Lu Mingjun’s eyes were two round angry balls of flame. “Since you’re asking to be killed, I promise you that I will rip you to shreds so that nothing is left of you!”
The murderous intent that exploded from Lu Mingjun shook everyone.
Chen Xiaobei laughed. “Don’t speak too soon! What if you are too afraid to kill me? That’ll be very embarrassing for you!”
“Me? Afraid of killing you? That’s the biggest joke in the world!” Lu Mingjun sneered. “I am Lu Mingjun! The master of the Lu family of South Town Temple! Demigod-level! I would kill you over and over again with just one finger, you piece of shit!”
“Really? Well then, if you are not afraid, hurry… come and kill me!”
Everyone was completely stunned.
In Silver Plume city, even the governor Dong Zhuo had to give way to Lu Mingjun. Chen Xiaobei was the first person in history who ever challenged Lu Mingjun so directly!
If Chen Xiaobei was strong enough, then it would at least make sense! The problem was, Chen Xiaobei had already announced publically that he was not at the level of demigod!
He was not even powerful enough yet he kept poking at Lu Mingjun!
“Damn you! If you want to die, I will make it happen!” Lu Mingjun roared and charged towards Chen Xiaobei like a hungry tiger.
“Stop!” Wenren Muyue suddenly called out. “Uncle Lu, our families are both loyal and devoted to the Temple, and are friends! I respect you as an elder but if you must kill Chen Xaobei, you are going to have to do that over my dead body!”
“Huh?” Lu Mingjun’s slowed down his footsteps and glared at Wenren Muyue. “Muyue! Step aside! I have to kill this son of a bitch today!”
“I won’t! Mr. Chen saved all of our lives! Without him, this place would have been covered in corpses and rivers of blood! I won’t watch Mr. Chen get killed! Not unless I die first!”
“Hmph! You are just a girl! You can’t stop me!” Lu Changwei barked and tried to get around Wenren Muyue.
But Dong Xiaowu, Miao Yiyue and the others ran forward and surrounded Chen Xiaobei protectively.
“What are you doing?!” Lu Mingjun shouted.
“If Wenren Muyue, a woman, is willing to die with Mr. Chen! Why should the rest of us young and vigorous men remain indifferent?! If you want to kill Mr. Chen, then you’ll have to get over our dead bodies first!”
Dong Xiaowu and the others shouted simultaneously, swearing to protect Chen Xiaobei even if they had to die.
