Chapter 988 - 739: Misunderstanding (Part 2)
Mo Yan naturally knows that Xiao doesn’t want to marry Wu Wei, but he originally thought he had Xiao completely under his control. To his great surprise, Xiao still had external assistance, and that external aid turned out to be the new Family Head of the Hunting Leopard Clan. In order to avoid the marriage contract, he used Wu Wei as a threat and even framed and kidnapped Wu Wei!
Mo Yan’s eyes were filled with hatred and anger, wishing he could kill the two culprits on the spot.
"The City Lord is mistaken."
After carefully reviewing those screenshots, Lu Xiao shook his head, "This matter is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. I dare assure you they would absolutely not do such a thing."
With Xiao Jin’s straightforward personality, he wouldn’t consider so much when doing things. Besides combat, it’s impossible for him to deliberately kidnap a female.
If Shen Tang had a special reason, she might do it, but she was unconscious at the time, so it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to have done this.
He spoke sincerely, "There may be a misunderstanding about this matter, and I urge the Big Boss not to be used by someone with ulterior motives. Please investigate carefully..."
"Stop with the nonsense! I’m giving you a choice for survival now. I want you to act as bait, to kill that leopard and that female!"
Mo Yan even wanted to kill Lu Xiao in anger but knew he couldn’t do it yet.
He had poured considerable effort into Lu Xiao, and killing him directly would be too easy for him.
He had to make him suffer a fate worse than death!
Only then could they pay for today’s crime!
Before that, he would make Lu Xiao personally kill that leopard and that female.
After all, that leopard is the new Family Head of the Hunting Leopard Clan. Although Mo Yan had not truly faced Xiao Jin yet, he had heard that he was a highly talented and extremely powerful young man, and seeking revenge wasn’t that simple.
However, don’t they know each other?
Then let Xiao act as the bait and let them die at the hands of their own people. That would be the true fate worse than death, how satisfying!
Lu Xiao’s expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing Mo Yan’s words.
"What’s wrong? You’re unwilling?"
Mo Yan’s expression turned sharp and sinister, and he immediately activated the "Return Nest" power within Lu Xiao’s body.
Lu Xiao’s face instantly turned pale as paper, appearing bloodless, with his tall and erect figure slightly hunched, looking about to collapse.
Mo Yan spoke coldly, "The City Lord is not negotiating with you; this is an order I’m giving you, and it’s a task you must complete!"
"Even if you can’t kill those two bastards, you must at least bring them back for me to judge. I will ensure that they suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Xiao, this is your chance to show your loyalty. As long as you can bring those two bastards back and rescue my son, all past grievances will be wiped clean! Otherwise—"
Mo Yan squinted, gazing dangerously at the young man before him.
Lu Xiao was covered in cold sweat, clenching his teeth tightly, the veins on his neck bulging out, only able to stabilize himself by leaning on the wall, clearly at the breaking point.
Mo Yan walked over and pressed heavily on his shoulder, leaning in to whisper in his ear, "Otherwise...the ’Return Nest’ within you will completely explode, and no one will be able to save you!"
"You should know what to do!"
"..." Lu Xiao tasted blood in his throat, his spine feeling as if pierced by thousands of silver needles, causing his muscles to tighten and spasm, using sheer will to resist and sustain through his blacking vision.
But he still insisted, "I urge the Big Boss to investigate this issue patiently. I feel there’s something suspicious about this matter, afraid of being manipulated by someone with an agenda. It’s not too late to draw conclusions after investigating thoroughly..."
"You’re waiting for my son to die with no proof, aren’t you!"
Mo Yan was utterly infuriated, "I think I’ve been played by all of you from beginning to end!"
He punched directly into Lu Xiao, who was no match for him, knocking him against the wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
He propped himself up on one hand, half-kneeling on the ground, his vision blurring, almost unable to gather the strength to stand.
"You don’t have the right to negotiate with the City Lord now; you have only one choice!"
Looking down at him coldly, Mo Yan commanded, "Either those two bastards die, or you die today!"
However, at the moment Mo Yan approached, a Wind Blade suddenly shot towards his chest.
Mo Yan’s expression changed, hurriedly avoiding it, but his arm was still grazed by the Wind Blade, causing blood to spurt out.
He grimaced in pain, glaring angrily at Lu Xiao who dared to resist, "You dare fight back, seems like you’re tired of living!"
An unruly bait even dared to fight back, so there was no need to keep him.
Mo Yan wanted to kill Lu Xiao in his wrath.
Suddenly, from outside came a burst of desperate wailing.
The troops stationed outside were all overthrown.
A shadowy figure rushed in, tall, with dark hair and handsome features—none other than the Black Panther Beastman seen in the surveillance.
Evidently, he was here to rescue someone.
Mo Yan was even more furious at this, his face twisted as he looked at Lu Xiao, "You still dare to deny it? You are all in cahoots, making a fool out of the City Lord!"
Xiao Jin couldn’t understand what he was saying, retorting bluntly, "Old fool, stop acting your age here. Your daughter’s disappearance has nothing to do with me, I don’t even know you, and don’t you dare throw this filth on me!"
But Mo Yan didn’t listen to his rebuttal and immediately attacked.
Xiao Jin was forced to engage him in combat.
While holding Mo Yan at bay, Xiao Jin shouted towards a certain point in the air, "Tangtang, I’ll handle this old fart, you quickly get him out of here!"
At the instant his voice fell, a ripple like water waves appeared in the air, then abruptly broke open, revealing a slender figure. It was Shen Tang.
She dashed towards where Lu Xiao was.
