Chapter 2116 - 2089: I Choose, I Choose

Lu Tianxing’s words exploded like a heavy bomb in Chen Changwu’s ears, causing him to tremble all over.

Cold sweat poured out of him as if it were free, and his face was completely dominated by fear.

Chen Changwu tried his best to suppress the fear surging from his heart, but... he failed. Under everyone’s gaze, the muscles on Chen Changwu’s face kept twitching, and his body gradually became stiff.

"Ten seconds left, Chen Changwu, it seems you want me to break your limbs to show your loyalty to Tang Qingyun. Not bad, not bad, I like people with a spine like you the most."

Lu Tianxing’s voice carried no emotion, making the fear deep in Chen Changwu’s heart grow even stronger, impossible to suppress.

At this moment, Chen Changwu was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that Lu Tianxing was here, he wouldn’t have shown up even if it killed him. If he had known how Lu Tianxing would treat him, he wouldn’t have coldly sneered at Lin Yafei, instead allowing Lin Yafei to ridicule him without saying a word himself.

Now he finally understood a truth: even though Tang Qingyun, the Young Master of Shu Tang Family, stands behind him now, it doesn’t help him at all. Because Tang Qingyun wouldn’t support him like Lu Tianxing supported Lin Yafei. Just as Lin Yafei said, in Tang Qingyun’s eyes, he was nothing more than a dispensable pawn. If he died, Tang Qingyun could easily promote another Qingtian Alliance Hierarch.

Chen Changwu tried his best to make himself appear more composed, but the unnatural twitching of his face clearly betrayed the fear in his heart.

"Are there any other choices?"

Chen Changwu squeezed out a few hoarse words from his throat.

At this moment, Chen Changwu chose to submit. Lu Tianxing was too terrifying.

"Yes."

Lu Tianxing glanced at Chen Changwu and stopped counting.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a sharp light shot from Chen Changwu’s eyes as he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"I want the list of forces in the Qingtian Alliance. I want to know how many families have joined the Qingtian Alliance."

Lu Tianxing’s mouth curved into a strange smile.

"Gasp!"

Those around couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath again after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words. What was Lu Tianxing planning to do? Was he trying to eliminate all the families that joined the Qingtian Alliance?

This was simply too ruthless. Wasn’t he afraid of inciting public outrage?

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Changwu’s face turned horribly grim. The option given by Lu Tianxing left him with no way to choose. If he dared to choose it, even if Lu Tianxing didn’t kill him, Tang Qingyun wouldn’t spare him and would surely have him killed.

But now, only three paths lay before him: lose his dignity and crawl out on his knees, have Lu Tianxing break his limbs, or tell Lu Tianxing how many forces have joined the Qingtian Alliance.

These three choices made the first seem the best, but for someone who considered dignity as a second life, this choice was extremely difficult. Not to mention that he now represented Tang Qingyun. If he knelt, it would be almost equivalent to Tang Qingyun kneeling before Lu Tianxing.

This kneel would mean all his previous efforts would go to waste. Unless he could kill Lin Yafei and destroy Yama Palace, he would surely die. Not only Lu Tianxing and Lin Yafei wanted him dead but also Tang Qingyun wouldn’t let him live. But how could it be easy to destroy Yama Palace? If it were that easy, the Yang Family would have done so long ago, without waiting for him to act.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and for a moment, Chen Changwu found himself in a dilemma.

"Originally, I planned to give you two choices, but seeing your sincerity, I’ll give you one more choice. You can choose now."

Watching Chen Changwu’s appearance, Lu Tianxing wore a faint smile on his face: "Of course, you can choose to refuse, and then I’ll handle this matter as I see fit. Alternatively, you could try to kill me, and that would end it all."

Lu Tianxing’s smile appeared demonic in Chen Changwu’s eyes, sending a chill down his spine.

"Earlier, there were still ten seconds left. Let’s start the countdown again. I need to know your choice in ten seconds."

Lu Tianxing looked down on Chen Changwu like a Heavenly God, his tone filled with calmness.

As Lu Tianxing’s countdown began again, Chen Changwu’s muscles went stiff, the humiliation he’d once felt from Lin Yafei resurfacing, turning his eyes red and his expression aggrieved to the extreme.

"Five."

"Four."

"... "

Lu Tianxing’s indifferent voice sounded in Chen Changwu’s ears.

As the voice echoed, a cold aura slowly emanated from Lu Tianxing, enveloping Chen Changwu, making him feel as though he were in the Abyss Hell, an endless chill constantly invading his heart, filling him with terror.

"Stop, stop, I’ll choose, I’ll choose."

When Lu Tianxing counted down to ’two,’ Chen Changwu’s heart couldn’t bear it any longer and completely collapsed, hysterically shouting, "I’ll choose the first one, I’ll choose the first one."

"Are you sure?" Lu Tianxing stopped the countdown, squinting at Chen Changwu.

"If I crawl out from here on my knees, will this matter end today?"

"That’s right, as long as you crawl out from here, today’s matter will be settled."

Lu Tianxing nodded slightly. In his mind, he never intended to kill Chen Changwu; he was just a puppet, after all. Killing him would dirty his hands, and using him to disgust Tang Qingyun was perfect.

"Alright, I’ll kneel."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Changwu slowly lowered his head, gritting his teeth. Like a dog without a home, his knees bent slowly, and with a thud, he knelt to the ground. Under the horrified gaze of everyone, he crawled inch by inch toward the outside.

Lu Tianxing watched as Chen Changwu crawled inch by inch toward the outside, his expression unchanged. To him, Chen Changwu was nothing more than an ant, easily crushable, not worth minding.

In little more than a few meters, Chen Changwu took over two minutes to crawl to the outside of the restaurant, then got up, slowly turned around, and looked at Lu Tianxing, his voice tinged with hoarseness: "Mr. Lu, may I leave now?"
