Chapter 423 - Punishment

His mind kept running. Why? What was his relationship with boss?

Mr. Kang glanced once again at the person who sat still like a statue.

Lastly, his boss left like that without putting up a fight!

Surely, those two would think that his boss left because he had nothing to retort. But it should not be true. He refused to admit it. His boss never lost in any fight. He just left because he saw the couple as nothing but wasting time. That must be it!

Still, Mr. Kang was not satisfied by leaving just like that. Those two should know who they were up against with.

He could not help glancing up again at his boss through the mirror.

A pair of frigid eyes, inky black like the shadows in bottomless abyss, met him.

Mr. Kang: !!!!

His hair rose and he almost shouted in fear.

"If you give me one more glance, I will gouge your eyes out."

A cold voice sounded behind him, before the sharp and cold sensation of his boss's sight left him.

Mr. Kang sweated. So scary...

However, he was relieved.

Yes, yes! This was the boss he knew!

His boss was merciless and would not leave just like that. For sure, he had plans to make the pair suffer later.

Thus, feeling a bit more complacent, he began talking. "Master, that butler surely had some guts to challenge you. And that Xiong woman was the same. They really don't know who they are up against with, a bunch of ignorant people. To actually have the guts to speak ill of you..."

The pair of dark pools rose and pierced at him, clearly warning him from saying any further. Mr. Kang swallowed his words. Seriously scary! His boss should have shown those guys this side of him earlier!

Lu Jin retrieved his eyes, stayed quiet, and did not reply. For him, it was bothersome to argue with a butler. Unfortunately, the death-seeking Mr. Kang was not yet done courting death.

"Master, just say the word. I will personally handle the matter. Even if she is a Xiong, she must know who she offended. And that butler might be strong, but it is clear to see that he has weakness. That woman surnamed Xiong, I can use her to grab his handle."

That would be hitting two birds with one stone. He was filled with enthusiasm to prove his loyalty.

Suddenly, he felt an immense pressure on his back. Mr. Kang felt his chest tighten. He could not breathe. The driver beside him glanced at him, feeling that this guy deserved death for talking too much.

When Mr. Kang felt like he was about to lose consciousness, the pressure decreased and the suffocating aura was withdrawn.

"Cough! Cough!" Mr. Kang coughed and patted his chest.

It was only the aura of qigong, but for a martial artist like him who was sensitive to aura, he felt like he was being strangled.

"Don't get ahead of me. Do I make myself clear?"

"Y-yes, boss."

Lu Jin returned to looking outside at the night sky.

He did not waste his time going there, because he learned a lot of information that his spies could not get.

The car quietly drove into the driveway of huge mansion that was not a part of the Lu's property.

However, while they were at the gate, Lu Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The car entered into the mansion premises and stopped in front of the door.

Lu Jin stepped down and turned his head to one side.

He saw several cars that were not there earlier before he left.

He recognized Guan Gao Huan's car. And there were other cars that were not Guan Gao Huan's property.

He inwardly frowned, and his hands silently tensed.

His father was here.

The quiet mansion felt more deathly and quiet than usual.

He went to the main living room.

All the maids and butlers were there standing by the wall, not making any sounds.

If one looked closely, they were all shivering.

Lu Jin's eyebrows faintly moved.

He knew where his father was.

The more he walked to the main study, the colder it became.

Likewise, his face also turned more indifferent and his mind seemed to empty out.

When he stood outside the door of the main study, he deliberated whether to knock or let the people inside finish their matter first. Then, his keen nose detected a rustic smell in the air.

Someone was being punished.

He was about to turn around when a cold voice, more wintry and emptier than his, sounded. "Enter."

Lu Jin did not hesitate anymore and entered.

The smell of blood was stronger inside.

The tall man he had not seen for a long time was standing in front of him, wiping his hands with a cloth. The cloth was stained with blood.

"Take a seat."

Lu Jin mechanically walked around him and sat at the vacant seat. He did not look at the man being punished.

"Where have you been?"

His father asked this while hurtling his leg towards the bloodied man.

This question of course was not for the man being punished, but for him.

Lu Jin could only honestly say, "From Tang's family banquet."

"Oh? The Tang's second young miss's debut? How is she?"

Crack.

A finger of the bloodied man broke, yet the wounded man did not shout in pain.

He just clenched his teeth and endured, because he knew that the man was not yet done giving 'punishment'.

"The second young miss is ordinary." He meant that she was not outstanding and did not pose any threat to their plans.

"Hmm? Is that so? Well, I've heard she is just a musician. I am talking about her marriage prospect. Surely, as a noble lady, they will give her a final dance. Who is her final dance?"

Lu Jin stayed quiet.

"Hmm?"

Crack.

Another finger was broken.

Lu Jin made a mistake and glanced at the man who grunted.

He met a pair of foggy golden eyes.

He was reminded again not to lie.

"It was Lu Yin Ze."

His father, Ming Zhi Yi, halted.

Then he laughed.

"Ha-ha-ha! He is surely capable!"

"But Mistress Tang made things clear that they will not let the two to marry. Lu Yin Ze agreed to become the last dance as a favor, because he won the voting rankings among the guests on who will be the last dance." Lu Jin hurriedly added.

"I don't care about the details, only the outcome. Those old powerhouses won't care how Yin became the last dance. They will only know that the balance is threatened. And they will surely take this opportunity."

Lu Jin stayed quiet.

"Anyway, it is the calm before the storm. Why not make the storm that is about to come become more violent and fiercer?"

Lu Jin, and the bloodied man, Guan Gao Huan, looked towards the man they called father.

"It is a good thing that I did not rely on your missions completely. Just give it more time, and the strong pillar of the Xiong family will surely be broken. If that happens, how long will the balance of these four families stay strong?"

Silence.

"Ha. Ha-ha-ha." The man's cold laughter continued in the huge study room.
