Whoosh!

A cold gleam sliced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, aiming fiercely at Lu Yu's throat!

This cold gleam was like a snake hidden in the shadows, suddenly attacking with swift and venomous precision, targeting the vital point with ruthless intent!

Clearly, this Marlo had quite a decent set of skills!

Seeing the cold gleam heading straight for his throat, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and instinctively dodged, allowing the silver gleam to pass closely by his neck with ease!

Although Marlo's strike was sudden and vicious, for Lu Yu, it posed no threat at all!

As the attack missed, Marlo showed no intention to linger in battle. In the moment Lu Yu dodged, he swiftly moved around Lu Yu and dashed out of a side door!

Compared to other desperadoes, Marlo could be considered rather smart. From the outset, this attack wasn't aimed at taking Lu Yu's life.

He knew that his men stationed in the hallway were armed, yet he hadn't heard a single sound after Lu Yu arrived!

This alone spoke volumes!

Thus, after feinting with a strike, Marlo decisively chose to escape rather than engage!

After all, in the club downstairs, there were many of his men. As long as he regrouped with them, he could completely extricate himself from danger.

Seeing Marlo dash for the door, Lu Yu shook his head and calmly said, "Trying to run? Do you really think you can get away now?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu slowly turned around and walked downstairs, appearing composed and showing no intention of chasing…

After rushing out of his office, Marlo entered the hallway, glanced around, and a chill crept into his heart!

He saw that his previously assigned men were scattered on the ground, eyes rolled back, motionless—evidently knocked out before they could even react or give a warning!

Phew!

Seeing this scene, Marlo's heart leapt, and he felt a deep sense of fear!

Luckily, he hadn't stayed to fight Lu Yu one-on-one; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

His men, despite being armed, had been incapacitated by Lu Yu before they could respond. If he had confronted Lu Yu, it would have been suicidal!

Thinking of this, Marlo no longer hesitated and sped downstairs to the club.

A few minutes later, Marlo rushed into his Bihaus Club at full speed, shouting angrily, "Brothers..."

But before he could finish, he froze in place!

In front of him, his club was filled with brawny men wielding machetes, while his men were crouched with their hands on their heads, looking pitiful and defeated!

Buzz!

Seeing this, Marlo was completely stunned. He never expected such a turn of events!

First, Lu Yu, a formidable opponent, had come after him. Now his men were trapped here; clearly, this was all pre-planned!

"How about it, Marlo?"

As Marlo stood in shock, Yunting's mocking voice came through, "Surprised by what you see? Taken aback?"

"Yunting!"

Gritting his teeth, Marlo said, "You dare to betray me at a time like this? The Celestial Wolf Association is bold indeed!"

"Is this betrayal?"

With a slight smile, Yunting responded, "I came here openly with Young Master Lu to take down your place!"

Young Master Lu!?

Upon hearing this, Marlo's heart skipped a beat. Recalling Lu Yu's demeanor, he shivered!

Could it be that Lu Yu was the Young Master Lu Yunting mentioned?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked Marlo became. He never expected things to take such a turn!

In a moment of inattention, he had fallen into such a trap!

"Run!?"

While Marlo was consumed by shock, Lu Yu's cold and mocking voice came from behind, "Keep running, won't you?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu walked from behind Marlo with unhurried steps, as if he were merely strolling, exuding a sense of calm!

At this moment, Lu Yu seemed like a cat toying with a desperate mouse, his face filled with an amused smirk!

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Marlo's facial muscles twitched twice.

The situation was crystal clear!

His men had been fully subdued by Yunting, and now behind him stood the formidable Lu Yu!

Marlo was truly cornered!

"Damn it!"

Realizing this, a vicious gleam appeared on Marlo's face. Finding himself at a dead end, he embraced his essence of a desperado, gripping his knife, and lunged ferociously at Lu Yu!

With no way out, fighting was better than dying passively!

Whoosh!

The dagger came thrusting forward with a sharp whistle, headed straight for Lu Yu's chest, looking extremely perilous!

"Trying to fight!?"

Seeing Marlo make a move, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Such arrogance!"

With that, Lu Yu moved as quick as lightning, grasping Marlo's wrist holding the knife, and swiftly twisting it!

Snap!

With a crisp sound, Marlo's wrist broke, causing the dagger to fall from his grasp!

Seeing the dagger drop, Lu Yu caught it and simultaneously pinned Marlo's hand to the wall, before decisively stabbing Marlo's hand!

Clang!

A clear sound echoed as the dagger pierced through Marlo's hand into the wall, pinning Marlo's hand firmly!

Ah!

As his hand was nailed to the wall, Marlo let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body trembling violently like a sieve, looking utterly pitiful!

Witnessing this, Lu Yu felt no remorse, grabbing Marlo's hair and asking, "Now speak, who's buying the bullets!?"
