Chapter 1238: Are You Willing to Apologize Now?
"What."
Upon hearing Li Ya's words, Johnson at the side widened his eyes in disbelief, both shocked and angry, saying, "Li Ya, you... you actually teamed up with this yellow-skinned monkey to deal with me. Do you think the Nokevi family is afraid of your Louis family?"
"Whether you're afraid of the Louis family has nothing to do with me. Johnson, out of friendship, I'll give you a piece of advice: apologizing is your best option right now. If you want to die, then by all means, don't apologize."
Li Ya's tone became somewhat indifferent. Between Johnson and Lu Tianxing, she chose to stand by Lu Tianxing's side, not only because Lu Tianxing is Bai Zhiqing's husband, but more importantly, Lu Tianxing gave her a very terrifying feeling—like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—that could not be amassed overnight.
Upon hearing Li Ya's words, Johnson burst into mad laughter. But because it tugged at the wounds on his face, he grimaced in pain, making his expression even more sinister: "Apologize? You actually want me to apologize to this yellow-skinned monkey, wishful thinking! Yellow-skinned monkey, I'll remember this slap today. Just you wait; I'll make sure you die without a place to rest."
At this, Johnson glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing, as if trying to etch Lu Tianxing into his memory, before turning to leave.
"Stop."
Seeing Johnson attempt to leave, Lu Tianxing spoke coldly: "Did I say you could go? Face east, kneel, and apologize. Otherwise, you won't be leaving today."
Stunned by these words, Johnson halted, a trace of vicious killing intent surfacing on his face as he retorted coldly: "Yellow-skinned monkey, you think you can make me apologize? Dream on. I..."
"Stubborn ignorance."
His words were cut off by Lu Tianxing, whose gaze towards Johnson carried a hint of coldness. With a disdainful laugh, Lu Tianxing's silhouette flickered, appearing beside Johnson like a ghost, raising his hand to slap Johnson hard across the face.
"Ah!"
Johnson let out a wretched scream, his body sent flying by the slap. He spun in mid-air like a top before smashing into a nearby beam, crashing heavily to the ground.
This slap left no restraint from Lu Tianxing; the immense force directly mangled Johnson's cheek, with several bloody teeth spraying from his mouth, making him look utterly miserable.
At this moment, Johnson seemed unfazed by the pain, instead staring fiercely at Lu Tianxing. The humiliation was beyond anything he had endured in his life, a mix of rage, intent to kill, and a hint of fear, with emotions visible on his face, making him appear more sinister, like an evil ghost walking out of Hell.
With a roar, Johnson struggled to rise from the ground to assault Lu Tianxing, but before he could act, his vision went dark, followed by a foot mercilessly pressing down on his face, preventing him from standing no matter how much he struggled.
"Are you willing to apologize now?" Lu Tianxing applied slight pressure with his foot, grinding against Johnson's face as if crushing dust, while smiling.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill. Ruthless, Lu Tianxing's actions were extremely merciless, showing no leniency at all. Everyone admired Lu Tianxing's courage; in New York, only Lu Tianxing would dare to trample a member of the Nokevi family.
"Dream on. Dare to offend the Nokevi family, and no one will be able to save you—not just you; someday, I'll kill all you yellow-skinned monkeys." Johnson said with a vicious look.
Hearing Johnson's words, Lu Tianxing's lips curled into a faint cold smile: "Since you refuse, that's fine, then continue..."
As soon as the words fell, under everyone's gaze, Lu Tianxing slowly moved his foot from Johnson's cheek. When everyone assumed Lu Tianxing had relented, the foot that had moved away dropped once more, heavily stepping on one of Johnson's arms.
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking bone echoed, with copious blood seeping from beneath Lu Tianxing's foot, clearly shattering Johnson's bone completely and rendering the arm utterly useless.
"Ah!"
Johnson let out a scream reminiscent of a slaughtered pig, his gaze towards Lu Tianxing filled with not only killing intent but also a deep-seated fear. He had never encountered someone so ruthless, who disregarded consequences entirely.
Johnson's screams caused even those who believed their mental fortitude to be strong to feel chills. Beating Johnson might have been understandable, but now it was evident to everyone that Johnson's arm was irreparably damaged. Lu Tianxing's actions clearly intended to clash head-on with the Nokevi family.
For a prominent family, reputation is often more valued than life itself.
Now, Lu Tianxing had ruined Johnson's arm in front of everyone, equivalent to a harsh slap across the Nokevi family's face, delivered publicly. This is something no one, let alone a family, can endure.
Revenge!
The Nokevi family is bound to retaliate.
This thought raced through everyone's minds.
Li Ya, standing by the side, sighed inwardly as she saw Lu Tianxing mercilessly crush Johnson's leg. She knew there would be no resolution now.
Yet, she couldn't understand why Lu Tianxing, aware of the Nokevi family's influence in New York, dared to cripple Johnson so brazenly. Was he not afraid of the Nokevi family's vengeance?
After all, this is New York, not China. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overpower a local serpent. What courage or trump card does Lu Tianxing have to face the Nokevi family's retaliation?
Unfortunately, Li Ya failed to grasp that, to Lu Tianxing, the Nokevi family didn't even matter. If Johnson were an ant, then the Nokevi family would at most be a swarm of ants. Crushing one ant and crushing a swarm of ants made little difference.
Lu Tianxing disregarded the surrounding glances, staring at Johnson indifferently, and said, "Are you willing to apologize now?"
