"Alright, in that case, Housekeeper Lu, you should set out with your men!"

After receiving Lu Chuan’s response, Lu Haoyue slowly said, "Housekeeper Lu, remember my words: eradicate them completely. I don’t want anyone to escape alive to Shu."

"Understood."

Lu Chuan nodded, refraining from unnecessary words, and directly turned to walk outside.

Watching Lu Chuan’s departing figure, Ku Haoyue’s lips slightly curled, revealing a cold smile, while a beast-like bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

For Lu Haoyue, this wasn’t just the beginning of his declaration of war against the Tang Family; it was also an announcement to everyone that Lu Haoyue was not inferior to anyone.

Even though at heart he always regarded Lu Haoyue as his brother and Lu Tianxing as family, it didn’t mean Lu Haoyue lacked ambition. He didn’t want future mentions of the Lu Family to only reference Lu Tianxing. He desired that when people spoke of the Lu Family, they acknowledged his presence alongside Lu Tianxing’s.

After Lu Chuan left, Lu Haoyue took out his phone from his pocket, browsed through the contacts, and quickly dialed a number.

A few seconds later, the call was connected.

Without waiting for Lu Haoyue to speak, Rose’s voice immediately came through the receiver, "Lu Family Master, how is it? Have you arranged your people? Are you planning to act tonight?"

"Yes!"

Lu Haoyue nodded, "I’ve arranged my men to rendezvous at the location we discussed today. I’ve instructed them to fully comply with your directions."

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Rose laughed lightly, "Lu Family Master, are you really comfortable entrusting your men to me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll use them as cannon fodder for my own men?"

"You won’t."

Lu Haoyue responded to Rose’s words without any change in expression, saying calmly, "Also, I trust my cousin’s judgment; he won’t misjudge a person."

"Heh, Lu Family Master, haven’t you heard that women are capricious? Perhaps I believe in my heart that Tianxing is more suitable than you for the position of Lu Family Master, and I intend to depose you so my man can become the Lu Family Master!"

Upon hearing Rose’s remark, Lu Haoyue’s expression remained unchanged. He chuckled, "From how you’ve risked yourself for my cousin multiple times, I can see you like my cousin, and cherish him greatly. For you, all that matters is his happiness, so you won’t do that."

"Because my cousin never aspired for the Lu Family Master position; otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until now. He would have vied for it with me earlier. After all, compared to me, my cousin is the true prodigy of the Lu Family, inheriting the position is perfectly natural and justified."

Lu Haoyue’s words were sincere, without a hint of falsehood—they were truly heartfelt.

Rose, after hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, paused briefly before slowly speaking, "Lu Family Master, I apologize; I was only testing you just now. Now, I finally understand why Tianxing regards you as a brother. Furthermore, I now realize that Old Master Lu’s choice of you as Lu Family Master was indeed the wisest decision, because you have the magnanimity to accept others. I apologize for my previous test."

In fact, Rose’s earlier words were just a test for Lu Haoyue.

After all, in a large family, people’s hearts can change. Although Lu Haoyue previously had a good relationship with Lu Tianxing, there’s a saying that the human heart is hidden behind the ribs. Even though Lu Haoyue is now the Lu Family Master, outside, everyone routinely mentions Lu Tianxing when referring to the Lu Family, completely ignoring Lu Haoyue as if he were an insignificant character.

Especially during her time in Jiangnan, she even heard voices suggesting that Lu Tianxing is the rightful Lu Family Master. If he were, the Lu Family would reach greater heights, instead of being defensively reactive as they are now.

There’s a saying that rumors are a bloodless knife.

Statements that position Lu Tianxing as the true Lu Family Master aren’t widespread yet, but rumors spread, and they would eventually reach Lu Haoyue’s ears. It’s only natural Lu Haoyue might overthink, and if he were slightly more narrow-minded, he’d undoubtedly strategize against Lu Tianxing, declaring himself the true Lu Family Master.

This was the true reason for Rose’s earlier words—to see how Lu Haoyue reacted. But now, she’s satisfied with his response, at least not worrying that Lu Haoyue would secretly target Lu Tianxing. As for future actions of Lu Haoyue, they’re not concerning, because Lu Tianxing will be someone that Lu Haoyue simply cannot contend against.

"Rose, you’re too kind. I merely wish to avoid internal strife. Besides, Tianxing is my cousin and a member of the Lu Family. The stronger he is, the better it is for the Lu Family," said Lu Haoyue with a smile.

These words truly reflected Lu Haoyue’s inner thoughts.

Although he was competitive and wanted people to recognize not only Lu Tianxing but also himself in the Lu Family, it didn’t mean he’d go against Lu Tianxing.

Just as he mentioned earlier, the stronger Lu Tianxing becomes, the more benefits the Lu Family reaps. As long as Lu Tianxing lives, the Lu Family can always leverage his name to expand its influence continuously, and no one would dare challenge the Lu Family because Lu Tianxing is part of it. Should Lu Tianxing face danger within the family, he certainly won’t stand by idly.

After exchanging a few more words with Rose, Lu Haoyue said nothing further and directly hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Lu Haoyue placed the phone on the pavilion table, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket to light up, and continued to gaze out the window, lost in thought.

Once Rose had ended the call with Lu Haoyue, her face, which had been faintly smiling, suddenly turned frost-like, emitting an extreme coldness. Without hesitation, she stood up from the couch, striding outside. Tonight, she planned to wipe out all external Tang Family forces, severing a claw of the Tang Family.

This time, she aimed to make the Tang Family truly feel pain and go wild with anger; if they dared to step out of Shu now, she’d ensure they’d never return home.

"Mom, watch over me! I’ll avenge you, offering the Tang Family’s blood to honor your spirit in heaven, allowing you to rest in peace."

Leaving the villa, Rose slowly raised her head, gazing at the sky, her eyes filled with determination and her presence exuding endless coldness and murderous intent.

At this moment, Rose once again displayed the dominant, assertive demeanor of the Rose Society’s president.
