Chapter 20: The Angry Intelligence Minister!
The images projected onto the spring water resembled a live broadcast, realistically showing every move made on the other side.
More and more people gathered around the middle-aged man known as "Old Zhao," most of them young people with arrogant expressions and unfriendly eyes.
"Hehe, looks like we've just stumbled upon a good show."
Lu Jin stared at the reflection in the water, his voice low and unreadable, but his eyes were sharp as knives.
Ruthless, arrogant, brutal, sinister...
If one's appearance reflects their inner self, then the people gathered around Lao Zhao at this moment undoubtedly have the words "vicious and ruthless" etched on their faces.
"Old Zhao, the person has been brought!"
A heavily made-up, scantily clad woman in her thirties roughly grabbed a young man by the back of his collar with one hand and dragged him into the center of the frame like a dead dog.
The young man was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with bruises, clearly indicating that he had been brutally beaten.
The woman slammed him to the ground and spat.
"It's this traitorous guy! He let the 'little lamb' we caught last time escape, and we didn't get a single penny! Now that family is being watched closely by the company, and the news has leaked out!"
Not satisfied with what she had just said, she suddenly kicked the man hard in the back of the chest!
"Pfft!" The man's body trembled violently.
A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out, and he curled up in agony.
Seeing this, the Quanxing members around them revealed bloodthirsty excitement, rubbing their fists together, seemingly wanting to go forward and "stretch their muscles".
"Wait a minute." Old Zhao's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable chill.
He slowly rose, his gaze sweeping over the eager Quanxing members like a venomous snake, carrying a clear warning and intimidation. The previously restless crowd instantly fell silent.
Old Zhao walked over to the young man who was curled up on the ground, barely alive.
He crouched down, his tone even carrying a hint of regret:
"Xiao Wang... tell me, why? Is it because of that worthless sympathy?"
He reached out and gently placed his hand on the man's head, which was covered in blood and sweat, as if petting a pet.
"I know that the reason people join Quanxing is for freedom, to do whatever they want, and for no one to stop them."
Old Zhao's voice seemed to bewitch, but in the next instant, his eyes suddenly turned icy cold.
"But..."
The hand resting on the head, seemingly gentle, contained a chilling power.
"Now that you're on my side, you have to follow my rules." Old Zhao's voice was as cold as ice. "And those who break the rules..."
"No...no! Old Zhao! It really wasn't me!"
The man on the ground seemed to sense the approach of death, and cried out with his last strength, tears streaming down his face, as he screamed and tried to explain himself.
"I...I just accidentally fell asleep! I really didn't put him there!"
"We...aren't we comrades? Ah—! Spare me! I'll never do it again! Spare me—!!"
The heart-wrenching, desperate screams, mixed with the utter trampling of the last shred of humanity, powerfully impact the hearts of every viewer through the silent visuals.
Xu San and Xu Si's faces were ashen, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked, their teeth almost grinding to powder, and their eyes blazing with barely suppressed rage.
Even Lu Jin, who had been calm and composed, showed signs of inner turmoil through the slight rise and fall of his chest and the barely perceptible increase in his heartbeat.
Good people don't get good rewards, and bad people who want to turn back have nowhere to go...
This is probably not just the lament of that poor wretch before his death, but also the unspeakable heaviness and shock in the hearts of the young people of the Lu Family Stunt Team who are witnessing all of this through the screen.
"Sigh..." Lu Jin let out a long sigh.
His voice carried a deep sense of helplessness and an almost cruel sense of relief.
"It's too late..." He slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look anymore, or as if he had already foreseen the scalding hot blood that was about to spurt out.
However, just as this atmosphere of despair almost froze—
"My true form! As expected, I still... couldn't resist!"
Lu Xiaobai suddenly whispered, his ethereal voice suppressing an unprecedented anger!
This is perhaps the biggest difference between him and the original body that experienced life and death.
He could not remain indifferent to such blatant violence and despair!
It was also driven by his angry thoughts.
hum!
The space in front of us seemed to have been torn open by an invisible force, creating a rift!
A magnificent staff, entirely black with two enormous, exquisite gems inlaid at its tip—the very same magic staff called "Brilliant Star"—instantly traversed the hundreds of kilometers between the villa laboratory and this desolate building.
It was steadily transferred into Lu Xiaobai's hands!
The dazzling light instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the open space!
Before everyone could recover from this incredible spatial teleportation!
Lu Xiaobai raised his staff with one hand and slammed it to the ground!
boom--!
A magical aura, far more violent and condensed than before, erupted from his body like a long-suppressed volcano!
A visible storm of magic surged around him, causing his clothes to flutter and his hair to dance wildly!
That peerless face now held no trace of playfulness or childishness, only pure, cold rage!
His lips moved rapidly, and ancient, obscure, and infinitely majestic incantations poured out of his mouth, each syllable seeming to strike the barrier of space!
