Chapter 1237: I Hope You Won't Make Things Difficult for Me
"Get lost!"
Watching Johnson charge toward him, Lu Tianxing coldly spat out a word from his mouth, lifted his foot, and directly kicked Johnson in the stomach. The immense force sent Johnson flying once again.
"Thud!"
Johnson flew out like a ragged sack, landing heavily on the ground, sliding a bit before coming to a stop, and cried out in pain.
Lu Tianxing kicked Johnson away again without any hesitation, bringing an even greater shock to everyone than before. They originally thought Lu Tianxing's earlier actions were due to extreme anger, but didn't expect him to strike again. This was not just anger; he genuinely intended to make Johnson kneel and apologize.
Who the hell is this man!
Doesn't he know the power of the Nokevi family in New York?
Is he not afraid of bringing disaster upon himself?
Everyone instinctively wanted to keep their distance from Lu Tianxing. The Nokevi family was notoriously brutish, and would never waste words if they could act. If they got involved just because they were close to Lu Tianxing, it would be a huge loss for them. They didn't want to offend a gangster family over an Asian.
Seeing the change in attitude around him, a sneer crossed Lu Tianxing's face. Others may fear the Nokevi family, but he wasn't afraid. If they angered him, he wouldn't mind making the Nokevi family disappear from the world completely. In New York, there were plenty of forces ready to replace the Nokevi family, and he wouldn't mind cultivating an affiliate of the Yama Palace there.
On the ground, Johnson was curled up, his body lightly twitching; he felt like his intestines were about to be kicked apart by Lu Tianxing. His face was somewhat twisted, looking especially savage.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Johnson looked at Lu Tianxing with a sinister expression, desperate to tear him into pieces.
Facing Johnson's twisted, venomous gaze, Lu Tianxing's expression didn't change at all. He said indifferently, "Kneel, face east, and apologize to all Huaxia people. Otherwise, today, I'll break your bones one by one."
"Apologize? You yellow-skinned monkey, how dare you presume? You're dead; I'm telling you, you're dead today! How dare you hit me? I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Johnson looked at Lu Tianxing with a savage expression, undisguised killing intent in his eyes. As the young master of the Nokevi family, being beaten by a yellow-skinned monkey he always despised was intolerable. He vowed revenge, aiming not only to kill Lu Tianxing, but also to humiliate his woman right in front of him...
Hearing Johnson's words, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Lu Tianxing's mouth. He said icily, "If you want revenge, see if you have the chance to leave here alive first. I don't like wasting words; I'll tell you one last time: kneel, face east, and apologize to all Huaxia people, or I'll cripple your limbs first."
"Apologize? Dream on, you yellow-skinned monkey. Cripple my limbs? If you dare, come and try."
Johnson's face twisted with contempt, showing no regard for Lu Tianxing's threat. He didn't believe Lu Tianxing would really dare do that to him.
"Good, very good. I like those with backbone, makes it more enjoyable to dismantle you. Hope you don't beg for mercy."
A bloodthirsty gleam appeared at the corner of Lu Tianxing's mouth. Without saying another word, he directly lifted his foot and walked toward Johnson. With each step, the cold intent radiating from him grew stronger.
This chilling atmosphere clearly told everyone that Lu Tianxing wasn't bluffing; he genuinely planned to cripple Johnson.
Seeing this, Li Ya finally couldn't restrain herself from speaking: "Mr. Lu, you've already taught him a lesson. Why not let it end here for the sake of Zhiqing's friendship with me? Please, give me some face."
"Miss Li Ya, I wish I could give you face, but it's impossible."
Lu Tianxing turned his head toward Li Ya and said lightly, "Do you think if I lost today, he would spare me? I'm afraid my fate would be far worse than his current one, not to mention I've already hit him—we're completely enemies now. Since we've become enemies, he'll certainly seek revenge whether I show mercy or not. Given that, sparing him seems pointless."
After Lu Tianxing's words, Li Ya's face stiffened because Lu Tianxing was right. Considering Johnson's character, if Lu Tianxing had been beaten by him today, Lu Tianxing's end would undoubtedly be much worse. Not only that, but Bai Zhiqing's fate wouldn't be much better either.
Moreover, given Johnson's personality, he would definitely not swallow this insult. Revenge against Lu Tianxing was almost certain, without any suspense.
Wanting to persuade Lu Tianxing again, Li Ya found herself at a loss for words. Asking Lu Tianxing to spare Johnson was clearly impossible, and asking Johnson to kneel and apologize was even more impossible. To Johnson, anyone with yellow skin was inferior. Asking him to apologize to Lu Tianxing was like asking him to climb the heavens.
"Mr. Lu, are you really unwilling to give Li Ya some face?" Li Ya asked softly, looking at Lu Tianxing.
She had to mediate in this situation. Lu Tianxing might not know the extent of the power backing Johnson, but she knew very well. If Lu Tianxing really crippled Johnson this time, the Nokevi family would surely retaliate, and whether Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing could leave New York alive was uncertain. After all, two tourists dying in New York was not a big deal.
"Miss Li Ya, I want to give you face, but who's giving me face? You heard him earlier, calling me a yellow-skinned monkey and an East Asian sick man. Do you know what that means? If I gave you face today, I'd be unable to face those heroes who shed blood and sacrificed themselves to remove those words from us when I return to China. After I die, I wouldn't be able to face my ancestors from the Lu Family. So, I'm sorry; I can't give you face, but I can leave him half a life."
"But..."
Li Ya was interrupted by Lu Tianxing without ceremony, "Miss Li Ya, I hope you don't make things difficult for me. Do you understand?"
The last sentence was deliberately said with a heavier tone, carrying a hint of impatience and killing intent.
Li Ya's body trembled, her face showing a tinge of fear. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, I hope you won't kill him, leave him a life, so Li Ya can account to the Nokevi family."
