The words had barely faded, and murderous intent surfaced.

In an instant, a terrifying murderous aura erupted from Lu Tianxing, spreading relentlessly in all directions. Within moments, the entire bar seemed to plunge into the depths of winter, chilling intent that pierced to the bone, as if even the water could freeze from its sheer intensity.

A bone-chilling aura enveloped Fang Yaowu, causing his face to turn deathly pale. At that moment, Fang Yaowu felt as if he were trapped in Abyss Hell, surrounded by a mountain of corpses and seas of blood, filled with the stench of gore. Amidst the swirling carnage, he saw his own body drift above, as though his heart were being crushed by invisible hands, leaving him gasping for breath.

Feeling the terrifying murderous intent radiating from Lu Tianxing, cold sweat instantly drenched Fang Yaowu's forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Behind him, the two bodyguards supporting Fang Tian tensed up as if confronting an enemy, muscles taut to the extreme, staring in horror at Lu Tianxing. They realized that before them stood a beast, ready to tear them apart at any moment.

"Mayor Fang, why are you silent? Do you think you still have the ability to threaten me? Killing you is easier than crushing an ant," Lu Tianxing said, staring sharply at Fang Yaowu.

Killing you is easier than crushing an ant!

Even though Fang Yaowu didn't want to admit Lu Tianxing's words, he had to concede that Lu Tianxing could effortlessly kill him, particularly when Lu Tianxing dispatched the three bodyguards without his notice.

"What exactly do you want?" Fang Yaowu took a deep breath, lowering his stance.

"Mayor Fang, don't you think your question is redundant? Earlier, you wanted to threaten me with mutual destruction. Now you're asking me what I want. Don't you find this redundant?"

Lu Tianxing squinted his eyes at Fang Yaowu and said, "As for anyone who wants to kill me, there's only one word: kill."

Fang Yaowu's body shuddered; after a moment of silence, he suddenly strode over to Fang Tian and slapped Fang Tian's face fiercely.

Fang Tian was stunned into a daze by Fang Yaowu's slap, unable to recover for a long time. He hadn't imagined that his father would hit him.

"Dad, you…"

Before Fang Tian could finish speaking, Fang Yaowu raised his hand and slapped Fang Tian's face fiercely again: "You what, you rebellious son! Always stirring up trouble for me. Release him, let this rebellious son kneel down and apologize."

Kneel down and apologize!

Dad wants me to kneel and apologize to this little bastard?

Fang Tian's eyes widened; he almost doubted his ears. He had thought that once Fang Yaowu arrived, he would be fine, and could even cripple Lu Tianxing and take all their women. But now Fang Yaowu's words left him utterly bewildered. Fang Yaowu wanted him to kneel and apologize?

"Kneel down now."

Seeing Fang Tian remain motionless, Fang Yaowu flew into a rage, lifting his foot and kicking Fang Tian's knee fiercely. Fang Tian staggered and fell to his knees with a thud.

Fang Yaowu didn't even glance at Fang Tian, offering an apologetic look to Lu Tianxing: "Third Young Master, earlier I was blinded by love for my son, and offended you. My Fang family is willing to pay ten billion as compensation to Third Young Master. Furthermore, I hope Third Young Master can overlook this and spare this rebellious son once."

"Your face?"

Lu Tianxing chuckled coldly and said, "We're not close; why should I care about your face? Is your face really worth much?"

Upon hearing these words, Fang Yaowu's facial muscles twitched, feeling a raging fire and murderous intent suppressed within him.

Lu Tianxing observed Fang Yaowu's expression, smiling once more, though it carried a chilling sensation: "Your son wanted to kill me and desired my woman to sleep with him. Now you want to kill my woman, and you're seeking mutual destruction. How do you think this can be settled easily? Do you take me for a fool? Should I kill everyone in your Fang family, then go to your grave to apologize? Would you like that? You want to live? Bring one hundred billion to pay for your Fang family's lives."

Such heartless words made Fang Yaowu tremble even more violently. One hundred billion; does his Fang family even have one hundred billion?

Lu Tianxing's words clearly intended to drive the Fang family to their doom.

"Third Young Master, this is asking the impossible," Fang Yaowu said, looking at Lu Tianxing with an icy expression.

"Asking the impossible?"

Lu Tianxing carved a smile on his lips, looking at Fang Yaowu, abruptly stepping forward and viciously slapped Fang Yaowu's face.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the bar.

In the next moment, five clear finger marks surfaced on Fang Yaowu's face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible demands. Do you really think you're in a position to negotiate with me now? Fang Yaowu, you have only one choice: pay me one hundred billion, or I cripple Fang Tian's limbs, or cripple yours. You have no choice."

Lu Tianxing looked coldly at Fang Yaowu.

It was as if Fang Yaowu hadn't heard the threat from Lu Tianxing, instead standing frozen in place. He had been slapped by Lu Tianxing, the top authority of Jinling slapped by Lu Tianxing, beaten in front of so many people.

Instantly, Fang Yaowu's face twisted grotesquely.

"What's wrong, Mayor Fang? I slapped you, and you seem dissatisfied." Lu Tianxing said coolly, looking at Fang Yaowu's distorted face.

"Lu Tianxing, don't push me too far. Do you think I really don't dare go down with you?" Fang Yaowu roared, clenching his fists tightly, staring hatefully at Lu Tianxing. If only he had brought the dagger and poison Jiang Haochen gave him, he might have been able to perish together with Lu Tianxing.

"Perish together? Are you worthy, Fang Yaowu?"

Lu Tianxing gazed at Fang Yaowu disdainfully, extending his hand to slap Fang Yaowu repeatedly: "I'm pushing you too far? And what can you do about it?"

"You…"

Feeling the pain on his cheeks, Fang Yaowu was on the verge of erupting, staring at Lu Tianxing with bloodshot eyes. The curling coldness on his face made one shiver involuntarily, as if he wished to tear Lu Tianxing into pieces.

However, he dared not truly break with Lu Tianxing because he sensed the murderous intent emanating from him. If things escalated, neither he nor Fang Tian would leave this bar alive.
