Chapter 97: Qian City Must Be Buried Alongside!
“What did you say? Wen Shan is dead?” Luo Lengdan thundered in fury.
The steward was stunned as well.
Wasn’t he under Luo Lengqi’s protection? How could he possibly be dead?
With Luo Lengqi’s strength, who could have been his match?
“Where is the body?”
Luo Lengdan’s face darkened further and further. His body trembled, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
“In the front courtyard!” the servant replied carefully.
Luo Lengdan said nothing more and strode outside at once.
The main hall of the Luo residence was brightly lit.
Crying and stifled sobs rose and fell without end.
On the floor lay two bodies, covered with white cloths, making the scene all the more eerie and oppressive.
“Ah... Shan’er, my Shan’er!”
Madam Luo stared at her son’s body, hardly able to believe that anyone would dare kill her child.
The Luo family held a lofty position and great prestige in Yu Province. Yet in a small place like Qian City, her son had been laid in the grave. If she had not seen his body with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.
“The family head is here!”
Someone shouted, and soon Luo Lengdan came out quickly with the steward.
Hearing that Luo Lengdan had come out, Madam Luo suddenly lifted her head like a ferocious ghost.
“Luo Lengdan! You worthless bastard!”
She flew at him and struck him again and again. “You useless thing, you couldn’t even protect your own son! What good are you? Huh?”
Luo Lengdan shoved her away. “Get lost!”
He ordered people to take Madam Luo away, then immediately stepped up to the bodies and lifted the white cloth.
In that instant, his whole body swayed violently.
It was Luo Wenshan!
He was really dead!
The Luo Wenshan lying on the ground was cold all over, already stiff with death. On his pale face, his eyes were still wide open, full of terror.
As if, in his final moments, he had seen something horrifying.
Luo Lengdan clenched his fists so hard his knuckles cracked. His lips were trembling.
He lifted the other white cloth.
Luo Lengqi’s limbs were broken, and his face was so swollen it was nearly unrecognizable. His eyes were also open, staring in death’s refusal to yield.
The unwillingness etched across his face made one’s heart shudder.
In truth, he had died on the way here, tortured by agony for hours before he finally breathed his last.
Mo Han had struck mercilessly, brutally.
He had not ended his life at once, nor had he allowed him any treatment.
He simply let him slowly die in pain.
That left him not only terrified, but all the more unwilling to accept his fate.
“Lengqi...”
At that moment, two middle-aged men hurried in. Seeing Luo Lengqi’s corpse on the ground, their clenched fists crackled with fury.
“Who killed my brother?” Luo Lengjian asked grimly.
Luo Lengdan had four brothers.
Luo Lengqi, Luo Lengjian, and Luo Lenghan were all his half-brothers.
It was these four men who had built the Luo family’s fame.
How could they not be enraged at the sight of Luo Lengqi’s body?
Luo Wenshan was dead, and Luo Lengqi was dead too.
Of the four brothers, only three were left now.
“Who brought them back?” Luo Lengdan’s rage was several times greater than that of Luo Lengjian and Luo Lenghan, impossible to suppress. The killing intent in his voice seemed about to erupt.
“A few people from Qian City...”
“Where are they?”
Luo Lengdan bellowed.
“They... they left.”
The Luo family servant was shaking all over with fear.
He had already been shocked when he saw the bodies of Luo Wenshan and Luo Lengqi. Now that Luo Lengdan was in a frenzy of rage, who would dare provoke him?
One wrong word, and death would follow.
“Oh, right, they also left a message...” the servant said cautiously.
“Speak!” Luo Lengdan stared at him, his eyes practically spitting fire.
The servant jumped and stammered, “They said Qian City belongs to the people of Qian City. Outsiders who want to lay hands on Qian City’s underworld are to die.
They also said that with Brother Han in Qian City, there can never be any underground world there!”
Luo Lengdan said nothing.
But the more silent he became, the more frightening he seemed.
A silent lion is the most terrifying when it bites.
“Big brother! I’m going to avenge Lengqi!” Luo Lengjian roared. “Qian City! The Li Pharmaceutical Factory! Mo Han!
I’m going to Qian City right now! Kill that Mo Han! Tear down that Li Pharmaceutical Factory!”
Luo Lenghan also shouted, “Kill every last one of those damned bastards!”
“Make them pay blood for blood!”
They naturally knew about Mo Han crippling Fifth Master and Tyrant Blade.
They also knew that Mo Han had said there would no longer be any underground world in Qian City.
Of course, they knew that Luo Lengqi and Luo Wenshan had both been killed by Mo Han.
Luo Lengdan still said nothing.
He crouched down and lifted Luo Wenshan into his arms, as though the warmth of his own body might soften his son’s cold flesh and bring him back to life.
But the moment he touched Luo Wenshan’s arm, that icy chill told him the truth.
Luo Wenshan was dead.
His son was dead.
His only son was dead.
He had once had another son, but five years ago he had died in the north.
So Luo Wenshan had become his only son.
He had never imagined that today, even he would die.
Die in a small city he had never taken seriously.
“Big brother!” Luo Lengjian saw that Luo Lengdan still would not give a clear response and shouted, “I want them to pay blood for blood!”
After a moment of silence, Luo Lengdan’s voice turned hoarse.
“Prepare funerals for Wenshan and Lengqi.”
He raised his head and looked at Luo Lengjian and Luo Lenghan.
“Hold them in Qian City.”
“I want the entire pharmaceutical factory, and the whole underground world of Qian City, to be buried with my son and my brother.”
Very quickly, the news spread.
In less than two hours, before dawn had even broken, the entire underworld of Yu Province, and the underground circles of Qian City as well, had all heard it.
Luo Lengdan’s only son was dead, killed in Qian City.
Even his brother Luo Lengqi had died in Qian City as well.
Qian City, this place where the underground king Fifth Master had only just been brought down by an obscure nobody, had now buried the heir of the Luo family of Yu Province and one of the four great guardians, Luo Lengqi.
What a city of terror it had become.
The young man who had brought Fifth Master down and buried Luo Wenshan and Luo Lengqi was truly frightening.
And yet, he also inspired pity, because Luo Lengdan was still alive, and Luo Lengjian and Luo Lenghan were still alive.
They would destroy the pharmaceutical factory and wipe out the entire underworld of Qian City.
They would hold funerals for Luo Wenshan and Luo Lengqi.
And they would hold them in Qian City itself, using the heads of the entire pharmaceutical factory and the underground world to mourn his son.
In Qian City, Xu Biao and the others who received the news could not sleep at all.
They had already smoked more than a dozen cigarettes, cigarette butts littering the floor, their bloodshot eyes heavy with complicated emotion.
“Xu Biao, I think we’re finished. Mo Han actually killed Luo Wenshan and Luo Lengqi directly...”
A major figure slowly spoke, swallowing hard, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Those were the Luo family heir and one of its guardians.
And Mo Han had actually killed them without hesitation.
Just thinking of how Mo Han had ordered them to disband their power on their own, and how they not only refused him but instead submitted to the Luo family, filled them with boundless fear.
If Mo Han decided to kill them too, none of them would be able to escape.
“Stop hesitating. We’ll go to the pharmaceutical factory first thing tomorrow morning,” Xu Biao said, smashing the last cigarette butt to the ground.
“Bring all the brothers.”
