Chapter 403: Chapter 401: 100 Million US Dollars

Feeling the chill that permeated the air, Wang Yanzhi’s face alternated between shades of gloom and brightness. He had no doubt about Lu Tianxing’s words; if he didn’t do as Lu Tianxing had said, Wang Yanzhi believed that he and Wang Kai would undoubtedly be dead today. Just like Lu Tianxing had said, now that enmity had already been formed, a little more made no significant difference, no significant difference at all.

Not to retreat meant death!

To retreat would turn them into the laughingstock of Modu, and the Wang Family’s honor would be utterly and thoroughly lost.

At this moment, whether Wang Yanzhi admitted it or not, he was afraid—a fear that stemmed from deep within, that seeped into his bones. He had never encountered someone like Lu Tianxing, whose methods were ruthlessly extreme, and who never considered any consequences in his actions.

This kind of person was the epitome of a reckless youth; they dared to do anything and feared no one, foolishly stubborn. Even if it was the Emperor himself who offended them, they would dare to slap the Emperor’s face, so audaciously bold that they were completely reckless about their lives.

"Is there no other choice?"

Wang Yanzhi took a deep breath, not even realizing that his voice trembled as he did so.

"There is."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Wang Yanzhi’s eyes flashed with a glint of hope, and he hurriedly asked, "What choice?"

"A son’s debts can be paid by the father. If you want to save your son’s limbs, you can repay with yours."

"Gasp!"

Upon hearing this sentence, everyone instinctively sucked in a breath of cold air—Lu Tianxing was planning to cripple Wang Yanzhi.

Harsh! It was truly too harsh!

Lu Tianxing’s move was excessively cruel, practically obliterating Wang Yanzhi without mercy.

Wang Yanzhi was Modu’s deputy mayor and also the Wang Family Head, but the Wang Family was not solely ruled by Wang Yanzhi. With many of his brothers eyeing the position of the Family Head, if Wang Yanzhi were crippled, he would definitely no longer sit in the seat of the Wang Family Head. The Family Head represents the face of a clan; who would allow a disabled person to sit as the Family Head, not to mention one who had brought disgrace upon the Wang Family.

Lin Yafei stood silently behind Lu Tianxing, saying nothing even when Wang Yanzhi’s gaze fell on her, just silently watching Lu Tianxing.

This was the man she envisioned; she admired Lu Tianxing’s actions. To exterminate enemies without mercy was the best approach. Mercy towards an enemy was cruelty to oneself. Through the ages, how many had shown mercy to their enemies only to end up dead without a resting place.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Wang Yanzhi’s pupils dilated, and his face turned extremely unsightly. This move by Lu Tianxing was virtually pushing him into a dead end.

If Wang Yanzhi was willing to suffer in place of his son, then he would have no chance with the position of Family Head, let alone his official post which could be stripped from him entirely. Not to mention competing for the mayor’s seat. If Wang Yanzhi personally crippled his own son, someone who was heartless and ruthless enough to do such a thing, who would dare to deal with him, not knowing if he might stab them in the back.

For a moment, Wang Yanzhi found himself caught in a dilemma, compelled to either give up the position of Family Head or become a truly cold-blooded overlord.

"Dad, save me, save me, please. I don’t want to be a cripple; I’m still young, I don’t want to become a cripple," Wang Kai said, looking at Wang Yanzhi with horror, his voice pleading.

"Is there really no other choice? I am willing to exchange fifty million for my son’s limbs," Wang Yanzhi said, his gaze fixed on Lu Tianxing, enunciating each word like a wounded beast.

"Fifty million? It seems the Wang Family is really wealthy."

Lu Tianxing sneered and said, "Too bad, I don’t need money. If you refuse to trade, then I’ll just break your son’s limbs."

"One hundred million. I’ll pay one hundred million US Dollars for my son’s limbs," Wang Yanzhi said reluctantly.

"One hundred million US Dollars!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and even Li Xiaofeng all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. They looked at Wang Kai, thinking that even if his limbs were made of diamonds, they couldn’t possibly be worth that much!

One hundred million US Dollars is more than six hundred million Huaxia Coins. Even for Li Xiaofeng, a disciple from Beijing, one hundred million US Dollars was not a small amount.

Even in the minds of Bai Zhiqing and others, an idea began to form. In the future, whenever they were out of money, they could just capture Wang Kai, beat him up, then force Wang Yanzhi to pay the ransom. It was like having a mobile bank. Do it a few times, and they could instantly become as rich as a nation.

Of course, this idea was just that, an idea. They didn’t have the strength like Lu Tianxing to disregard the Wang Family so openly.

"Young man, one hundred million US Dollars is already a lot. Don’t be too greedy,"

Wang Yanzhi stared intently at Lu Tianxing, his heart bleeding. One hundred million US Dollars was already one-fifth of his personal assets.

Lu Tianxing scoffed coldly and said, "Too greedy? Do I look like I lack money to you?"

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"None."

Wang Yanzhi shuddered at Lu Tianxing’s reply, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce, bloodshot like a provoked wild beast. He furiously looked down at Wang Kai, who was lying on the ground.

"Dad, what are you doing? I’m your son, your own flesh and blood. I don’t want to become disabled. Dad, I’m your own son. You can’t do this. You can’t do this to me."

Wang Kai, sensing Wang Yanzhi’s fierce demeanor, showed intense fear in his eyes and involuntarily shrank back. He never imagined that his own biological father would, to preserve his position as the Family Head, choose to lay a hand on his own son.

Wang Kai was filled with regret. He cursed Zhang Tianfeng’s ancestors repeatedly, blaming Zhang Tianfeng’s call informing him that Bai Zhiqing had married another man and was dining at Jinpeng Hotel. If not for that call, he wouldn’t have snuck out of the house to find trouble with Lu Tianxing. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come out at all.

If he hadn’t done these things, he would still be the vice-mayor’s son, fooling around with female celebrities, drag racing with others, and occasionally spiking drinks. He had his father’s backing; there was nothing to fear. Not like now, lying on the ground like a dead dog, watching his father being threatened to break his own son’s legs.

Unfortunately, there’s no antidote for regret in this world. If you’ve done something wrong, you naturally have to face the consequences. If the roles were reversed and Lu Tianxing was at Wang Kai’s mercy, his fate wouldn’t be any better.

Wang Yanzhi, watching his son’s terrified face, took a deep breath. He had finally become the Wang Family’s Family Head and Modu’s vice-mayor. He couldn’t allow Wang Kai to drag him down into an abyss, ruining all his efforts.

He was still young and capable of having more children. If worse came to worst, he could find another woman and have another son. But if he lost the vice-mayoral position and the headship of the Wang Family, he would lose everything.

It must be said that, had Wang Yanzhi lived in ancient times, he would have been deemed a ruthless and cold-blooded ruler, willing to sacrifice anything for power, even justifying his choices with countless reasons to affirm that he was right.
