He was already prepared, and Lu Xiao had anticipated this.
He just hadn't expected Li Tingze to be so brazen.
But there was no time to consider that now. As someone charged at him with a cleaver, Lu Xiao stepped aside, smoothly grabbing the assailant's wrist and snapping the joint with a crisp crack. The man howled, dropping the cleaver, which Lu Xiao caught.
With one hand, he clamped the man's neck, while the other held the gleaming blade across the man's throat.
Instantly, the group's attention shifted to this sudden turn of events, their eyes fixed on Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with a deadly coldness. He said slowly,
"Are you sure you want to use these things? Although we all are in it for one thing, and that's money, think carefully. Once your life is gone, how will your mother, wife, and children survive...!"
At his words, although the men all looked fierce, they were visibly shaken.
