Chapter 1062 A Misunderstanding

Jiang Tianxings words sent a jolt of anxiety through Zhao Tianlong.

What?! What did you say? Did you say you wanted to teach him a lesson? Are you crazy?

City Lord Zhao, I understand your close relations.h.i.+p with him, and Ive already shown you respect. However, this is a matter of utmost importance to me. I cant just stand idly by and do nothing after losing my son!

I promise to be merciful. I just want to give him a warning and a minor lesson. It wont be anything serious. After all, I cant completely disregard your position.

Zhao Tianlong responded with immediate and forceful disapproval, Youd better let him leave immediately. Youve essentially invited a ticking time bomb into your home, one that could detonate at any moment. I urge you to be reasonable. The relations.h.i.+p between Lu Yu and me isnt what you believe!

It isnt what I believe? Then what is it?

Speak clearly! Why are you so agitated? My son is dead! I have more right to be upset than anyone!

Jiang Tianxing protested unwillingly.

Zhao Tianlong roared again. What are you asking for? Let him go immediately!

No, I need an explanation. I cant simply let this go. Are you saying my son died in vain?

Fine, Ill tell you the truth. Heres the situation, I am friends with him, but most of the time, Im essentially his servant, forced to obey his every command. Do you understand what Im saying? His strength is beyond explanation. I believe he will only be serious when he joins the royal family.

Im afraid he could kill us with a single gesture. Im not being dramatic. Youd best not be stubborn. Youll only put yourself and your family in danger!

Zhao Tianlongs words left Jiang Tianxing stunned and speechless, the phone nearly slipping from his grasp. Are you serious? Is he truly that powerful? he questioned in a solemn tone.

Nonsense! Hes just a young man, an outsider with no local connections. Why else would I listen to him? Its solely because hes incredibly powerful and fought his way to his current position!

Just give it up. Hell be here briefly and leave soon. Dont let him unleash further chaos before his departure. If that happens, youll be finished. Jiang Tianxing took a deep breath. Is this person truly that powerful?

Dont dwell on your sons death. He wasnt blameless, and he didnt die unjustly. Let this matter go. Dont take it to heart. Calm down, and avoid acting impulsively. If this person becomes enraged, destroying your family wouldnt be difficult for him.

Hearing Zhao Tianlongs words, Jiang Tianxing felt a wave of helplessness and despair wash over him.

I I understand. It seems Ive been overly emotional. I have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill. Otherwise, things will only get worse.

Thank you for the warning. Luckily, I called you beforehand. Im going to see him now and try my best to be amicable so he doesnt get angry.

What terrible luck! My son just had to encounter such an otherworldly being and foolishly anger him. He sighed, then put down the phone and walked out of his study.

Lu Yu sat on the sofa, taking a few sips of tea.

Youve taken a long time. Have you made a decision? Whats your plan? There seems to be a misunderstanding between us, Jiang Tianxing stated as he sat down and wiped his sweaty forehead with a tissue.

I just spoke with City Lord Zhao Tianlong on the phone. He explained that it was just a misunderstanding between us. He claims you killed Jiang Hao out of necessity and that he deserved it.

While I loved my son dearly, I cant be blind to the truth, can I? Therefore, I sincerely apologize for my rudeness.

Lu Yu sighed in boredom. Alright, it seems weve reached an understanding. In that case, Ill take my leave.

Just then, the burly man who had brought Lu Yu in pushed open the door and entered.

Boss, how should we handle this guy? Why dont we just make a move? Why waste time talking nonsense with him?

Jiang Tianxing stood up abruptly. Hu Mang, shut your mouth!

The brawny man named Hu Mang was taken aback.

Confused, he looked at Jiang Tianxing and asked, Boss, did I say something wrong?

Jiang Tianxings voice trembled as he spoke, Lu Yu is an honored guest. We will not tolerate such disrespectful behavior from you!

Hu Mang stared at Lu Yu, his jaw agape. He couldnt comprehend the sudden s.h.i.+ft in his bosss att.i.tude.

Kneel and apologize to him! Jiang Tianxing commanded, his voice firm despite his inner turmoil.

Hu Mang stammered, What? Apologize to him? But hes our enemy!

Jiang Tianxings face contorted in anger. Dare you utter another word of nonsense? Who is the enemy? If you keep blabbering, youll be the one who puts the Jiang family in danger!

Hu Mang, completely cowed by his bosss outburst, reluctantly kneeled and kowtowed to Lu Yu.

Jiang Tianxing looked at Lu Yu, his face etched with forced composure. I apologize for the behavior of this unrefined individual. He meant no disrespect. As you can see, he has already expressed his regret. No one in the Jiang family holds any animosity towards you.

Lu Yu remained unfazed, taking another sip of tea. Its fine. Even if someone harbored ill will toward me, it wouldnt be a concern.

The misunderstanding has been cleared up, correct?

Jiang Tianxing fervently nodded. Absolutely, completely cleared up!

Then I will take my leave. If you attempt to summon me again, I wont be as forgiving.

Dont worry, I a.s.sure you, I wont! Cross my heart! Jiang Tianxing promised, swearing solemnly.

Lu Yu turned and left. As he watched him go, Jiang Tianxing let out a heavy sigh of relief before collapsing onto the sofa.

So close, he mumbled under his breath, the near miss still sending s.h.i.+vers down his spine.

Hu Mang approached Jiang Tianxing. Boss, why are we afraid of him? Hes just one man!

Jiang Tianxing kicked Hu Mang sharply, anger flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. Do you think Im an idiot? I know hes alone.

But his strength is unparalleled. He could wipe us out a thousand times over if he wanted to. If we cross him, well be signing the Jiang familys death warrant!

Theres nothing I can do. We have to swallow our pride. The difference in power is simply too vast.

Hu Mang stood rooted to the spot, completely bewildered and unsure what to do next.

The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air.

Suddenlv, a chilling wind swept through the room, seeminglv from nowhere.

A voice, faint yet distinct, echoed in the air.

Do you truly desire vengeance? I can offer you a.s.sistance.

Jiang Tianxing, startled, whipped around, searching for the source of the voice. His eyes darted around the room, but he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Was that my imagination?

No, the voice replied. You heard correctly. You sought Lu Yu out and lured him here. I offer you the chance to eliminate him, to avenge your son. Who are you!

You dont need to know who I am. Simply follow my instructions..
