CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: I WAS CARELESS JUST NOW, I DIDN’T DODGE

The next morning at eight o’clock, Lu Xiao finished washing up and went downstairs.

Just as he reached the staircase, he saw Chen Fei and Chen Han standing side by side in the living room, while a middle-aged man in his forties was seated on the sofa.

Next to the man stood an old man in a long robe with white hair, who looked down his nose at everyone, displaying an air of supreme arrogance.

"Are you Lu Xiao?" the middle-aged man asked indifferently as his gaze swept over.

Lu Xiao smirked but didn’t answer; instead, he walked over to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a can of milk.

"Mr. Lu, this is Elder Gao Zhan from the White Clothes Pavilion, from Hong Kong," Chen Fei introduced briefly.

The gambling king family from Hong Kong?

Wow, Jiang Lan is quick, it looks like she has started making her move.

Otherwise, the people from the Elder Council wouldn’t be showing up here early in the morning.

But that’s fine, it saves me the trouble of looking for them.

"Since when is it your turn to speak up!" the old man next to Gao Zhan seemed very dissatisfied with Chen Fei speaking and harshly scolded her.

Click, Lu Xiao twisted off the milk bottle cap and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"Ha, this old guy sure has a temper," Lu Xiao said with a laugh.

The old man’s eyebrows shot up, "Young man, you are utterly disrespectful!"

To call me old man, do you know who I am? Even Gao Zhan has to call me Master Li.

"Disrespect my ass! It’s so noisy early in the morning!" Lu Xiao whizzed the milk bottle cap out of his hand.

The cap whizzed through the air and hit Li Kaishan squarely on the forehead.

Only after the cap clattered to the floor did Li Kaishan come to his senses.

"Young man, you’re courting death!" Li Kaishan’s anger soared.

A plastic cap hitting the forehead doesn’t hurt at all, but it’s extremely insulting.

Lu Xiao put down the milk bottle, his gaze slightly hardened.

"Yelling in someone else’s house early in the morning is polite?"

"Old fool, shout one more time, and I guarantee you’ll spend your twilight years in a wheelchair."

Li Kaishan breathed heavily, his eyes almost sparking with fury.

He had lived for sixty or seventy years, and had never encountered such an arrogant fool.

To boldly claim he would paralyze me, forcing me to spend my life in a wheelchair?

You should go to Hong Kong and ask around about what kind of fighter I, Li Kaishan am!

I’ve always been the one putting others down!

"Alright, Master Li, let’s talk business first," just as Li Kaishan was about to explode, Gao Zhan waved his hand.

Li Kaishan wanted to say something but ended up holding back.

Still, the look he gave Lu Xiao was still incredibly fierce.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, I heard that it was your idea for Jiang Lan to dismantle the assassination business of the White Clothes Pavilion?" Gao Zhan asked again.

"Yes."

"Mr. Lu Xiao, do you know that the biggest profit source for the White Clothes Pavilion is the assassination business? Cutting it off would cause us to lose a lot of money."

Lu Xiao nodded, "I know."

"So, Mr. Lu Xiao, do you not intend to give us any explanations?" Gao Zhan’s gaze hardened as well.

"That depends on how you choose," Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"If you cooperate obediently with Jiang Lan to reorganize the White Clothes Pavilion, we can still be friends in the future. There’s still money to be made, and it will be clean money."

"If you constantly oppose me and keep annoying me with little tricks, then I can only be unapologetic," he said.

After speaking, Lu Xiao grabbed a steamed bun from the dining table, which was still hot.

"Mr. Gao, don’t be deceived by this youngster."

"He says he won’t be polite. He’s so young, how capable can he be!"

"With just one word from you, I will teach him a lesson right now," Li Kaishan whispered into Gao Zhan’s ear.

Gao Zhan frowned slightly, displeased by the murmuring beside his ear while he was deciding something.

If it weren’t for your strong capabilities, I would have really slapped you both.

In two minutes, Lu Xiao had eaten three large meat buns.

"Boss Gao, what’s your choice?" Lu Xiao glanced at Gao Zhan.

"How about this," Gao Zhan straightened up a bit, "If Mr. Lu can defeat Master Li, then I will agree to it."

Lu Xiao: (￣▽￣")

Completely uninterested, great.

As for Li Kaishan, his eyes burst with a sharp gleam.

"Mr. Gao, I won’t disappoint you!" Li Kaishan bowed to Gao Zhan and then charged directly at Lu Xiao.

No nonsense at all, no probing whatsoever.

Lu Xiao glanced at the dining table and picked up the feather duster on it, striking it backward.

"Smack!" A crisp striking sound resonated.

Li Kaishan stopped abruptly, and a red mark appeared on his face.

"What!" The next second, Li Kaishan roared, stepping back.

"I was careless just now; I didn’t dodge. Let’s go again!"

Lu Xiao’s brow twitched. Was that really just failing to dodge? Could you not realize that you couldn’t dodge it at all?

"In the future, don’t let me see him again, or I’ll beat him to death; today is just a lesson," Lu Xiao said to Gao Zhan, and then he fiercely threw the feather duster in his hand.

Everyone only heard a "pfft" sound, and then they saw Li Kaishan kneel down, his expression extremely painful.

The solid wooden feather duster had forcibly pierced through Li Kaishan’s right calf, somewhat in the shape of a "7".

Gao Zhan, who had been sitting, suddenly sprang up from the sofa, his heart pounding furiously.

What the heck? What is this?

This isn’t human!

No wonder! No wonder Jiang Lan follows Lu Xiao’s orders, no wonder Jiang Lan fearlessly wanted to cancel the assassination business.

This Lu Xiao, he’s a monster, that’s outrageous.

"Mr. Lu, no matter what the other members of the Elder Council say, I, Gao Zhan, absolutely support you," Gao Zhan quickly reacted, now addressing Lu Xiao with respect.

"You’ve made a good choice," Lu Xiao nodded, "Get rid of that old man, don’t use him anymore."

"Yes, yes, yes," Gao Zhan nodded repeatedly.

Use him for what? You’ve already crippled Li Kaishan’s leg! Besides, I’ve always been annoyed by him.

"Also, inform the other three factions of the Elder Council for me. Meet in Pingshan Village in three days. I don’t have time to negotiate with each of them individually."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, once they see your power, they’ll definitely agree," Gao Zhan immediately said.

Lu Xiao left the matter at that. The White Clothes Pavilion’s Elder Council had four powers, with the Gao Family from Hong Kong and weaker roots on the Mainland, naturally willing to submit.

The other three powers were different; they probably wouldn’t be so easy to handle.
