Mo Fan headed straight to the Lu Clan’s mansion after they entered Manye Town.

The people of the Lu Clan had obviously received the news. Many of their people were in position outside the mansion, as if they were going to make Mo Fan pay as soon as he set foot into the mansion.

However, none of them dared to move when they saw Bola dragging the half-dead Lu Zhantian along the ground behind Mo Fan.

Mo Fan strutted into the mansion. The women had all been evacuated. The men stayed, led by Lu Xin, who seemed to have developed a strong opinion about Mo Fan during the World College Tournament.

Lu Xin had an imperious look and a sharp gaze. However, he was immediately enraged when he saw how badly his son was beaten …

“Mo Fan, what do you think you are doing!?” Lu Xin snapped.

The Mages nearby immediately locked their gazes on Mo Fan. The atmosphere froze instantly. Mo Fan could sense the strong murderous intent lingering in the air!

“That should be my line! If you aren’t pleased with the death of that sc.u.m Lu Yilin, you should just come at me instead of pulling such a dirty trick. Do you seriously think I don’t dare to fall out with you!? I have dragged Lu Zhantian here because I’m quite interested in seeing how lowly you bunch of p.r.i.c.ks are, who failed to teach your sons how to behave properly! Lu Yilin deserved to die. As for Lu Zhantian, it basically depends on your att.i.tude!” Mo Fan shot right back.

“Do you think you can do as you please here? Do you even know that if someone dares to stir up trouble in a Councilman’s residence, we can kill the offender right on the spot!?” Lu Xin threatened him.

Mo Fan did not seem bothered by the threat. His son had said the same thing at Beiyu Enforcement Union, yet what had happened in the end?

“If that’s your att.i.tude, I believe there’s no point for us to talk any further. Give them the corpse,” Mo Fan turned to Bola.

Bola reached out his claw and slowly stuck his nails into Lu Zhantian’s neck.

Lu Zhantian was now a cripple, yet he would not die easily with the vitality of a Super Mage. However, if his neck was sliced open, he would die in just half a minute!

“Stop! Stop it!” Lu Xin yelled in panic.

Mo Fan ignored his plea. This Lu Xin still thought he could act bossily in front of him. Did he not realize what his son was up to?

Lu Xin’s eyes almost fell out. He did not think Mo Fan would be so bold as to dare kill Lu Zhantian right in front of them. Not only did he not show any respect to him as a Councilman, he had no respect for the entire clan!

“Mo Fan, ask your friend to stop now…” a deep voice spoke up.

Mo Fan looked over and saw it was his old friend with a beard, Zhu Meng!

“Mo Fan, can you give me face and spare Lu Zhantian’s life for now?” Zhu Meng came up to Mo Fan and asked in a serious voice.

Mo Fan turned to Bola and signaled him to let Lu Zhantian go. There was already a deep cut on Lu Zhantian’s neck, and blood was slowly pouring out of it. Luckily, he had not severed the artery, or Lu Zhantian would be a dead man by now.

“You already know everything?” Mo Fan said.

“Yeah, I do. I have sent someone to arrest the people that broke the rules in the army. We’ll deal with them soon,” Zhu Meng said.

Mo Fan did not say a word. The situation had escalated significantly. As a Councilman, Zhu Meng was in charge of the Enforcement Union to a certain degree. He would surely handle the rest.

“Zhu Meng, my son is still in his hands. He’s threatening us with my son’s life, and yet you’re still standing on his side!?” Lu Xin was infuriated.

“Lu Xin, you should calm down too. I don’t believe that you’re completely unaware of things, even if you didn’t take part. You have most likely turned a blind eye. If you keep insisting, I can guarantee you that your son is going to be a dead man. You must know what kind of a person Mo Fan is,” Zhu Meng replied calmly.

Lu Xin wanted to say something, yet he swallowed the words when he saw Lu Zhantian’s condition.

He had already lost his younger son, Lu Yilin. He could not afford to lose his eldest son Lu Zhantian too!

Lu Xin was initially against Lu Zhantian’s plan, as he believed it was inappropriate, but Lu Zhantian insisted on taking matters into his own hands. Lu Zhantian was doing it to avenge his little brother, so Lu Xin did not intervene any further. He already knew Lu Zhantian would be in trouble after taking out Mo Fan, but not only did the plan fail, Lu Zhantian’s life was currently in Mo Fan’s hands too! The situation could not be any worse!

Mo Fan was currently like the sun at noon in the country. Their only chance was to take him out without leaking any news, but if they failed and their attempt was made known to the public, they would be in grave danger. He still remembered how Zu Huiyin was forced to step down under the pressure from the people!

This time, it was their Lu Clan who was in trouble!

“Spare his life, and we’ll talk!” Lu Xin finally compromised, after being left with no choice.

“Not going to happen,” Mo Fan responded coldly.

“Mo Fan, you’re too full of yourself!” Lu Xin felt like he was about to explode. He had already lowered his voice, despite his status as a Councilman. What else did this fool want? It was not going to end well for both sides if he stubbornly stood his ground!

Zhu Meng was left speechless on seeing how hot-headed the two were. He dragged Mo Fan aside and said, “The people in the army that were arrested are most likely going to confess that they were bribed by Lu Zhantian. The people of the Beiyu Enforcement Union will also testify how Lu Zhantian abused his powers and used a member of the Black Vatican to threaten your father. Lu Zhantian is going to spend the rest of his life in jail based on these accusations.

“If you kill him now, it’s over in an instant. It’s better to let him suffer in jail. If you kill Lu Zhantian like you killed Lu Yilin, you will only get yourself in trouble. Lu Zhantian is still a District Leader of the Enforcement Union, and only the Chairman has the right to punish him. If you kill him now, Lu Xin is surely going to bring the matter to the Chairman. Even that old man won’t be able to protect you.”

“So I’m in the wrong now?” Mo Fan asked in return.

“Not quite; it was Lu Zhantian who crossed the lines. Now that you’ve apprehended him, you can just hand him over to us. I promise you that he will get what he deserves, but if you take matters into your own hands, you will only give Lu Xin an excuse to keep troubling you,” Zhu Meng advised him tactfully.
