CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: SEND HIM ON HIS WAY

The phone was answered after just two rings.

Lu Xiao briefly described Chen Fei’s condition to Zhai Tianmin, who didn’t hesitate one bit and said he could arrive in twenty minutes.

"Alright, wait for me," Lu Xiao said as he hung up and nodded to Chen Han.

"Thank you, sir," Chen Han expressed his gratitude and was about to kowtow again.

"Stop that, if you keep it up, I won’t save your sister," Lu Xiao immediately stopped Chen Han, who seemed to have developed an addiction to kowtowing.

After he spoke, Lu Xiao turned to look at Dou Haichuan.

Dou Haichuan had struggled to his feet by this time, with a large gash on his forehead, blood covering his face, presenting a ghastly scene.

"Hall Master Dou, right? Are you satisfied with my strength?" Lu Xiao asked with a smile.

Underneath the blood, Dou Haichuan’s complexion was extremely grave.

He hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to be so formidable.

Although that single brick might have seemed like a sneak attack, the speed at which the brick flew through the air was so fast that he didn’t even have a chance to react.

No wonder Chen Fei and Chen Han chose to betray White Clothes Pavilion.

They had taken up the task to assassinate Lu Xiao and probably would have been killed by Lu Xiao long ago if they hadn’t admitted defeat.

"Indeed, you are quite powerful, but... so what?"

"You could kill me, but have you considered what comes next?"

"What you’ll be facing is the full-scale retribution from White Clothes Pavilion. Assassins will come after you wave after wave," he continued.

"Plus, Divine List warriors will act against you. Do you think you can withstand them?"

"If you don’t kill me, I can pretend today’s events never happened, and we can consider your offer for a partnership," Dou Haichuan said, still arrogant, each sentence laced with threats, exuding a sense of superiority.

Lu Xiao curled his lip. So the trash from the bottom thousand of the Divine List becomes so awesome in your mouth?

Even Black Lotus and Abyss, and those in the top five of the Divine List, had never dared be so insolent in front of me.

Chen Han hung his head low, his eyes burning with anger yet powerless.

Indeed, if Lu Xiao were to kill Dou Haichuan, there would be endless trouble coming his way.

Even warriors from the Divine List might seek retribution.

Therefore, the best choice for Lu Xiao would be to spare Dou Haichuan and start a partnership with him.

"Chen Han, what do you think of Hall Master Dou’s proposal?" Lu Xiao turned to ask Chen Han.

Chen Han was slightly taken aback, not sure how to respond.

Of course, he wanted to kill Dou Haichuan; he wished he could chop him into pieces to avenge his sister.

But he had already promised to give his life to Mr. Lu while he was saving his sister, so now he should be considering the pros and cons from Lu Xiao’s perspective.

"Mr. Lu, I... I think we should..." Chen Han gritted his teeth, finding himself unable to utter the word for cooperation,

"I understand what you mean," Lu Xiao nodded and casually pulled the short knife from the ground.

Whoosh!

The next second, the short knife was thrown, fast as lightning.

Dou Haichuan could only widen his eyes in shock as the short knife pierced his shoulder.

Lu Xiao’s throw was extremely precise, the tip of the knife just hitting Dou Haichuan’s shoulder blade. It pierced through but didn’t go all the way, and the immense force of the knife sent Dou Haichuan flying again.

Thud!

Dou Haichuan’s entire body was skewered onto the wall behind him.

"Lu Xiao, how dare you!" Dou Haichuan bellowed in fury, Lu Xiao this bastard was clearly intent on a killing blow.

Damn it, does this guy not fear the retribution of White Clothes Pavilion at all? Doesn’t he fear the Divine List warriors one bit?

"Chen Han, send him off," Lu Xiao said.

"Yes!" Chen Han’s eyes shone fiercely.

After gently placing Chen Fei on the ground, Chen Han rushed forward, his hands and Finger Knife flashing with a chilling light.

"Chen Han, you dare! I’m the Hall Master of White Clothes Pavilion! You and your sister will have to die for Lu Xiao!"

Despite Dou Haichuan’s threats, Chen Han turned a deaf ear, his entire being like a ferocious beast.

"Die with your bullshit!" Chen Han’s Finger Knife slashed across Dou Haichuan’s throat.

Blood spurted out.

Dou Haichuan reached out to cover the wound, but the blood gushed like a fountain, overflowing through his fingers.

Dou Haichuan’s struggles began to weaken, the fierceness on his face fading, his eyes growing dull until they dimmed completely.

"Spit, garbage!" Chen Han spat at Dou Haichuan.

Chen Han also knew of Dou Haichuan’s disgusting preferences; today, if Mr. Lu hadn’t sensed something was wrong and brought him here, not only would his sister have died, but she would have also suffered this beast’s abuse.

"Mr. Lu, I... I should probably kowtow to you again," Chen Han said after returning to Lu Xiao’s side, having thought it over.

He truly had no other way to express the gratitude in his heart.

Lu Xiao had a full head of black lines, what’s wrong with this kid Chen Han? Did the switch on his knees break?

"Come on, just try to kneel, see if I don’t break your legs," Lu Xiao said.

Chen Han pursed his lips, it seemed Mr. Lu really didn’t like this sort of thing.

After waiting another ten minutes, an ambulance drove straight into the yard.

"Mr. Lu, I’ve arrived," Zhai Tianmin said as he jumped out of the vehicle and quickly rushed to Lu Xiao’s side.

Lu Xiao had given Zhai Tianmin a serious hand at the Qin Family Old Mansion, and if not for Lu Xiao, that adrenaline shot would have gone into Old Sir Qin’s body.

If Old Sir Qin had met his end, he himself would likely become the fall guy.

"Save her," Lu Xiao pointed to Chen Fei.

"All right, Mr. Lu can rest assured. I’m hailed as Hai City’s top surgeon after all, I’m sure I can save her," Zhai Tianmin replied.

Soon, Chen Fei was carried into the ambulance.

The Qin Family’s generously funded ambulance was truly impressive, outfitted with an operating room inside.

"Mr. Lu, shall we make a run for it now?" Chen Han asked at this moment.

Now that Dou Haichuan was dead, the retribution from White Clothes Pavilion could come at any moment.
