At this moment, Guo Jiarui felt his heart bleeding as he signed away the fifty million anonymous check. Even as the young master of Guo Group, this fifty million was still a large sum for him!

This amount now fell entirely into Lu Yu's hands, which made him incredibly unwilling!

Not only was Meng Yue greatly impressed by the man in the shadows, but even his own wealth was now slipping into the man's pockets. In that moment, Guo Jiarui's heart was filled with rage!

"Once this boy leaves, I'll report to the police immediately. By then, not only will you have to return this check, but you'll also spend at least ten to twenty years behind bars! If I pull some strings in the meantime, you'll never see the outside world again!"

At this time, Guo Jiarui thought viciously to himself, forcing his expression to remain composed.

Right now, Lu Yu held the fifty million anonymous check in his hand, a cold smile on his face as he observed all of Guo Jiarui's expressions: "What's wrong, Eldest Young Master Guo, are you feeling incredibly unwilling? Do you want to find someone to kill me right now, or maybe inform the police to hunt me down, right?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Guo Jiarui shivered involuntarily; he never expected Lu Yu to see through his thoughts so easily!

"No… no… nothing like that," Guo Jiarui stammered, waving his hand repeatedly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Guo Jiarui's expression, Lu Yu grasped the fruit knife embedded in the table, and with a sudden force, he pulled it out with a loud "bang". The cold gleam on the blade made one's heart tremble uncontrollably.

"Eldest Young Master Guo, let me tell you, this is the consequence you deserve. Before you decided to act against me, you should have realized that there are always bigger fish. Someone out there is always stronger," Lu Yu said disdainfully. "Remember, some people are out of your league, and no amount of connections will help you."

"And unfortunately for you, I am one of those people!"

As Lu Yu spoke, his expression seemed calm, but there was an unmistakable aura of dominance, an inherent pride that exuded a commanding presence that could not be disguised.

Hearing these words, Guo Jiarui was completely stunned, speechless, overwhelmed by the threatening aura emanating from Lu Yu. To convey such a menacing presence with just a few words, this man in the shadows was undoubtedly more formidable than he had imagined!

Watching Guo Jiarui's astonished expression, Lu Yu's cold laughter deepened. A cold, mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Your Guo Group may have some power, but even in LA City, it's not considered a major player. In the wider capital world, you wouldn't even cause a ripple. With such limited power, do you really think you can do as you please in LA City?!"

"You aren't even noteworthy in Lin'an, let alone imagined extraordinary matters!" Lu Yu's words were filled with coldness, as intense as a beast ready to devour him at any moment.

Upon hearing this, fear filled Guo Jiarui's heart. He resolved that if he could survive this ordeal, he would take revenge on Lu Yu!

"I know you want to get back at me!" Lu Yu said, looking at Guo Jiarui. "Stealing fifty million from you—if you don't hate me for it, you can't even convince yourself!"

"Actually, I've been considering,"

The cold glint from the fruit knife once again stabbed Guo Jiarui's eyes: "Since you hate me so much, why should I leave such a hazard in this world?"

Buzz!

In an instant, Guo Jiarui's scalp tingled with terror as an overwhelming sense of fear flooded his heart. Looking at Lu Yu, he kept kowtowing, saying, "Spare me, spare me! I dare not resent you; this incident is my own fault. If I ever harbor ill intentions, you can always come back and kill me!"

Guo Jiarui was truly terrified to the core, continually begging for mercy in front of Lu Yu.

"You made a good point; the people I wish to kill can never escape," Lu Yu said, as he suddenly flung the fruit knife from his hand, embedding it into the wall next to Guo Jiarui: "This is my final warning to you!"

"In my eyes, you're nothing more than an ant, and killing you would be as easy as a flick of my finger."

A flash of coldness passed through Lu Yu's eyes.

Indeed, Lu Yu had easily taken down beasts on a deserted island, and a small fry like Guo Jiarui wouldn't require any effort if he wished to snap his neck instantly, without needing to waste words here!

Of course, even if he doesn't kill him, there should be no trouble left behind for himself!

"I won't kill you today," Lu Yu said with a faint smile, uttering a sentence that reassured Guo Jiarui.

"However, my sparing you doesn't mean you can continue with revenge or do as you wish. You should know my power, and if you still have plans for Meng Yue afterward, I won't hesitate to drive an iron stake through your skull!"

As he spoke these words, a cold light burst from Lu Yu's eyes, penetrating Guo Jiarui's gaze!

At that moment, Guo Jiarui felt as if he was being watched by a monstrous beast, leaving him exposed, as though even his internal organs and soul were about to be devoured!

Feeling this bone-chilling coldness, Guo Jiarui shivered repeatedly, unable to control his body as bean-sized cold sweat continuously rolled down, soaking his clothes completely!

But he dared not wipe the sweat, continually kowtowing and speaking like pounding garlic: "Rest assured, I will definitely adhere to my duties, and never commit such acts again!"

The aura from Lu Yu made Guo Jiarui abandon any thoughts of revenge. At that moment, merely thinking of Lu Yu made him feel weak!

Hearing Guo Jiarui's words, Lu Yu nodded, saying coldly: "I hope you keep your word. This is your one and only chance. If there is a next time, I will personally tear you to shreds!"

With these cold words, Lu Yu disappeared from Guo Jiarui's sight!

Seeing this scene, Guo Jiarui's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and then he blacked out, fainting directly!
