Ignoring Wu Yue's livid face, Brother Long looked at Lu Tianxing expectantly and said, "So, what kind of money are you planning to give me, sir? If it's not enough, I'm not going to change my mind."

"Did I say I would give you money? I was just casually talking, besides, my money burns a hole in your pocket. I fear you'll live to take it but not live to spend it." Lu Tianxing said mockingly.

"What did you say?"

Brother Long heard Lu Tianxing's words and his face turned scarlet red instantly. He realized he had been played by Lu Tianxing, and in a fit of fury, he shouted, "What are you all standing around for? Attack him, break his limbs! Damn it, you dare to mess with me? I see you're tired of living!"

Upon hearing their leader's words, the gangsters immediately snapped to attention, swinging baseball bats as they advanced toward Lu Tianxing, intending to strike his head.

Just then, an angry voice came from the side, "Zhang Long, how dare you lay a hand on Mr. Lu? Are you tired of living? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."

"I'm a member of the Rose Society, so what if I attack him? Who the hell are you…?"

Brother Long instinctively started to curse upon hearing the voice, but before he could form the words, he was rendered speechless. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his breathing became rapid. His eyes were filled with intense fear, and his body began to tremble violently.

At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed throughout the underground parking lot. A young man with freckles on his face rushed over, accompanied by over a dozen burly men, marching in uniform, exuding an enormous sense of oppression.

Witnessing this scene, Wu Yue's expression changed dramatically. He walked over to Brother Long with a look of shock and confusion, saying, "Brother Long, they…."

It seemed that this remark snapped Brother Long back to reality. His eyes suddenly filled with disbelief and intense fear. His whole body trembled even more fiercely as he swallowed hard. Mechanically, he turned his head to Wu Yue, his eyes full of rage.

"Wu Yue, you…you bastard, damn it! Didn't you say he was just a small assistant?"

With a voice seemingly squeezed out from between clenched teeth, Brother Long didn't think twice and smashed a fist onto Wu Yue's sunny, handsome face.

"Ah!"

Wu Yue didn't expect Brother Long to suddenly hit him; he let out a scream as his cheek took a heavy punch, feeling his head buzzing and blanking out.

"Zhang Long, what do you think you're doing? Do you really believe I'm scared of you? Believe it or not, I'll cripple you."

Wu Yue covered his face, looking furiously at Zhang Long, emitting a chilling aura. If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble for himself, he would have personally taught Lu Tianxing a lesson instead of asking Brother Long to help.

"Get lost, Wu Yue, who the hell do you think you are? Keep mouthing off, and I'll make you regret it. Don't think I fear you because you returned from abroad. Cripple me? I'll kill your entire family."

Brother Long cast a sinister look at Wu Yue before assuming a sycophantic pose, forcing a smile more pained than crying, as he watched the approaching young man. He said awkwardly, "Liu… Brother Liu, why are you here? Why didn't you give me a heads-up beforehand? If I knew you'd come, I… I would have come to greet you."

The young man with freckles was none other than Xiao Liu, one of Rose's trusted aides.

"If I had given you a heads-up, I wouldn't have been able to see all this drama. Zhang Long, you're really getting bold now, even daring to break the rules set by Sister Mei Gui. You've got some guts. Also, don't call me Brother Liu; I don't deserve it."

Xiao Liu cast a cold glance at Zhang Long, walked over to Lu Tianxing, and said, "Brother Lu, what should we do with these people?"

Hearing Xiao Liu's words, Brother Long's body trembled fiercely, focusing his gaze on Lu Tianxing. Abandoning all concerns, he took a step forward and collapsed on his knees with a thud. "Lu… Mr. Lu, I, Zhang Long, failed to see greatness, offended you. I beg your magnanimity, please forgive me this time. I won't dare again."

Before finishing his words, Brother Long's head banged forcefully on the cement ground. In his heart, curses rained down on Wu Yue, including all of his ancestors. Although he didn't know Lu Tianxing's identity, Xiao Liu's reverence suggested Lu Tianxing held terrifying power. Furthermore, it was rumored that Rose had married a husband surnamed Lu…

Surname Lu!

Thinking of this, Brother Long's face changed dramatically, turning pale. To have Xiao Liu show such respect, the man before him was clearly Rose's husband. It seemed he had brought trouble to this powerful figure's husband, essentially proving he was beyond tired of living.

Wu Yue was also dumbfounded, like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, staring blankly at the scene.

He was familiar with the Rose Society, aware that in Modu, anyone could be provoked except the Rose Society members; otherwise, he wouldn't have endured Brother Long's punch with mere anger, unable to act. Even under duress, Wu Yue couldn't believe Lu Tianxing knew the Rose Society people, let alone possessed a high status. This…this seemed inconceivable, leaving him in disbelief.

"Brother Lu, what's your view? Should I have them all tossed into the Huangpu River to feed fish?" Xiao Liu glanced at Brother Long and Wu Yue, speaking calmly.

Brother Long trembled upon hearing these words, his face reflecting deepening fear. He said with terror, "Brother Liu, spare me! I…I truly didn't know Mr. Lu's identity. Knowing it, I wouldn't dare even if given ten guts."

Lu Tianxing glanced at Wu Yue, then at Brother Long kneeling on the ground, "You want me to spare you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu, I know what to do." Brother Long promptly responded upon seeing Lu Tianxing's gaze.

"Since you know, then do it."

Lu Tianxing spoke indifferently, preferring dealing with smart people.

After hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Brother Long slowly stood up, casting a ruthless glance at Wu Yue, saying coldly, "All of you, get up! Break his limbs, cripple him."

"Zhang Long, you dare…." Seeing this scene, Brother Long roared angrily.

"You see if I dare or not! Get him, cripple him!"

Brother Long shouted furiously, eyes glinting with cruelty, grabbing a baseball bat from a subordinate and lunging straight at Wu Yue.
