CHAPTER 785: CHAPTER 783: CLEARING THE FIELD [FIRST UPDATE]

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

With the crisp sound of high-heeled boots, the club’s main entrance was pushed open once more.

A woman clad in a black leather jacket, emanating an intense pressure, walked in at a leisurely pace!

It was indeed, Black Rose!

It must be said, Black Rose truly had a queen-like presence, her figure-hugging leather jacket not seductive in the least, but filled with a powerful aura!

"Looks like everyone’s quite early."

Black Rose twisted her slender neck, looking at the somewhat chaotic scene before her.

Her gaze skipped over Xia Jie, who wore an overjoyed expression, and landed on the teasing face of Lu Xiaobu.

Then, she leapt over Lu Xiaobu, turning her attention to Liang Lan next to him!

Gazing at Liang Lan, who was dressed for the occasion, Black Rose revealed a wicked smile, blowing her a flying kiss.

However, her eyes didn’t linger on Liang Lan’s face for long and returned once more to Lu Xiaobu: "Especially you, Lu Xiaobu, I didn’t expect you to dare show up."

"Wasn’t it you who invited me to enter the bridal chamber?"

Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and said: "Seriously, it’s always about pulling up the pants and then refusing to acknowledge, but with you, even before taking them off, it’s over. What’s this? A bait-and-switch scam?!"

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, a flash of indignation crossed Black Rose’s face.

She didn’t expect that Lu Xiaobu, even on the brink of death, would still dare to speak so brazenly!

"Clear the room!"

Black Rose did not wish to argue with Lu Xiaobu, but instead ordered Xia Jie.

"President Xue?!"

Xia Jie was momentarily stunned.

Although he knew that Black Rose’s intention to clear the room meant to remove the journalists and the official personnel of the rich list present.

What he didn’t understand was why Black Rose wanted to do this!

Weren’t these two things their weapons?

If you clear the room now, wouldn’t that be cutting off their own retreat?!

"I said, clear the room!"

Black Rose’s eyebrows shot up, her face icy.

Weapons?!

Such weapons? She did not need them!

"Alright then!"

Xia Jie gritted his teeth and had no choice but to obey the order!

...

Soon, the journalists, who had complaints written all over their faces, were escorted out, and the people from the rich list, who had wanted to save their own skin, also got their wish and were sent away!

Hmm, they had indeed come merely as onlookers this time!

Now, the room instantly divided into two factions!

Lu Xiaobu’s side included Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, Li Jin, plus the three women and the little girl!

Black Rose’s faction consisted of everyone else!

Yes, everyone, including those e-sports businessmen who relied on Lu Xiaobu’s patronage!

Because they did not step forward!

After all, in such circumstances, Lu Xiaobu was the weaker party, the one being surrounded, and these people’s lack of action at this moment was a silent endorsement of Black Rose!

"Now, you can throw a fit as you please!"

Black Rose coldly stared at Lu Xiaobu and said: "Actually, you are already very strong. In my heart, I thought your reckless approach wouldn’t last more than a month, but you have held out for half a year!"

What she said was true.

She truly had planned for it to take only a month, even with Liang Lan in the picture.

Liang Lan’s steady and methodical approach was difficult to implement under the pressure of absolute financial power.

Simply put, Liang Lan was more suited to playing when the wind was fair, or in a deadlock.

But she was more adept at making a desperate comeback when the wind was against her.

Especially after she saw how unreservedly the blunt Lu Xiaobu accepted the battle, she even shortened the time frame further.

The result, to her surprise, was that Lu Group actually blundered on for a whole half year!

This truly amazed her!

Sure, the surprise was there, but at the same time, her hatred for Lu Xiaobu grew more intense as time passed!

Especially when she was enjoying her pleasures, the lingering sensation from where Lu Xiaobu had struck her would crop up, how could she bear it?!

Finally! Today! She! Could bear it no longer!

"What, I’m making a scene? What scene am I making? Shouldn’t it be you making a scene?"

Lu Xiaobu smiled calmly and snapped his fingers with his right hand.

"Snap!"

Zhang Meng immediately brought over a chair and placed it behind him.

Lu Xiaobu sat down without hesitation.

At the same time, Liang Lan lit a cigar and handed it to Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t deny that Lin Feng had gotten him into cigars, enjoying an occasional smoke.

Lu Xiaobu exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

His languid gaze pierced through the smoke, looking at Black Rose across from him: "Please, begin your performance!"

"Great! Very great! Still playing games with me, huh!" Black Rose was infuriated by Lu Xiaobu’s nonchalant demeanor!

A mere defeated dog daring to act all high and mighty in front of her!

What a joke!

"Bring them in!"

With a slight wave of her hand, Black Rose signaled.

Yes, she intended to resolve things with violence!

While violence wasn’t always the best way to solve problems, it certainly was the most direct, effective, and satisfying method of revenge!

She wanted to see Lu Xiaobu kneel before her, under her feet!

As her words fell.

A man dressed in white training clothes stepped forward from the side and stood before Black Rose.

Meanwhile, Xia Jie witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth!

Although he expected Black Rose to resort to violence, he did not anticipate it coming so swiftly!

Moreover, had it been anyone but Black Rose, if anyone else had jumped straight to violence like this, he would have outright denounced them as brainless!

But Black Rose was different.

Not only that he couldn’t control her.

But his intelligence couldn’t keep up with her either.

After all, the alliance payment fiasco had made that abundantly clear to him.

The same action that would be called brainless if he did it was considered overpowering by Black Rose!

It’s all about the perspective!

With that thought.

Ah!

He couldn’t help but sigh deeply!

Forget it, the ways of the truly skilled are beyond his comprehension!

Better to stay quiet and be a salty fish that knows when to cheer from the sidelines!

At this moment, he had truly let go of all his pride!

It seemed that both Lu Xiaobu and Black Rose had reached another realm!

He, was old!

Lu Xiaobu looked at the man in training clothes and suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Black Rose! Am I seeing this right? You want to compete in strength with me?!"

He truly found it hilarious, how long had it been since anyone dared to challenge him in a test of strength?!

Even Lin Feng had given it a rest for the time being!

This Black Rose was unbelievably overestimating herself!

"Laugh all you want, I want to see how long you can keep it up!" Black Rose said coldly.

She had absolute confidence in this man in training clothes!

"Indeed, I can’t laugh for too long because, I bet, your support here can’t even last two seconds."

Lu Xiaobu sighed, looking pitifully at the man in training clothes: "It’s your first time being a bodyguard, isn’t it. Probably the last time, too! Poor thing!"
