Chapter 183: Money and Life, Which Is More Important?
At this moment, Marcus sees Lu Yu's gaze, and his entire being suddenly trembles with a chill, because in Lu Yu's gaze, he sees a hint of coldness, within which there is an icy murderous intent that sends shivers down Marcus's spine, creating a dangerous sensation of needles on his back!
Gulp!
Feeling this sensation of needles on his back, Marcus swallows a mouthful of saliva and says, "No, he's not here right now!"
In his words, Marcus subconsciously carries a hint of fear, as he is truly afraid that if Lu Yu becomes displeased, he might kill him on the spot!
"Then where is he?"
Upon hearing Marcus's answer, Lu Yu smiles faintly and says, "Since you're partners, I think you should know his hiding place, don't you?"
Marcus's heart jumps violently at these words, and then he hurriedly says, "Master, I really don't know! Luo Tong is extremely cautious by nature, so only he knows the location of his hideout!"
"I see."
After Marcus finishes speaking, Lu Yu nods slightly, and then the veins on his hand bulge as his nails gradually sharpen and extend, gently stroking Marcus's neck: "Marcus, I'm not here to kill, and I've said before that I didn't come here with the intention to spill blood!"
As he speaks, Lu Yu pauses slightly, then continues in a deep voice: "However, my patience has limits, so it's best not to force me to kill!"
With that, Lu Yu's murderous aura bursts forth, pressing fiercely towards everyone present.
Thud!
When Lu Yu's murderous intent erupts, everyone present feels their legs go weak, all kneeling to the ground, gazing at Lu Yu with eyes full of terror.
"You don't know Luo Tong's hiding place, fine! I won't blame you for that."
Looking at Marcus, Lu Yu says plainly: "But you'd better tell me everything you know. If you dare hide anything, don't blame me for being ruthless. Understood?"
While questioning Marcus, Marcus's evasive and retreating answers frustrate Lu Yu immensely, as Marcus only answers as asked.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus trembles all over, then hurriedly says in fear, "I... I'll tell everything! Yesterday Luo Tong came to the shooting range and told me he wanted to take a week off, and during that time he asked me to ward off anyone looking for him."
"You know, Luo Tong's spear technique is extraordinarily strong; with him betting on circles with those young masters outside, I can make a huge profit..."
After these words are spoken, Lu Yu smiles faintly and says, "Isn't it better to answer questions honestly?"
"Since he took a week's vacation, that means he'll be back here in a week, right?"
At this moment, Lu Yu looks at Marcus and says with a smile, full of amusement in his words.
"Should... should be. He's done this before, returning after a week..." Marcus says with fearfully, looking at Lu Yu's hands, sweating on his forehead.
Lu Yu's nails are as sharp as razors, making Marcus tense with unspeakable dread.
"Very good."
Upon Marcus's words, Lu Yu nods and says, "If that's the case, Marcus, let me know immediately when Luo Tong returns in a week!"
In his speech, Lu Yu's sharp nails press against Marcus's neck, speaking coldly: "But if you know and don't inform me, you know what your fate will be."
With that, Lu Yu's fingers apply slight pressure, and a trickle of crimson blood flows from Marcus's neck.
Feeling the stinging pain on his neck, Marcus's face turns even paler, looking at Lu Yu with eyes full of immense fear.
"Marcus, there are many smart people in this world, but there are also many fools."
Lu Yu looks at Marcus, a cold smile growing on his face: "And I think you're a smart person! And smart people should be able to see the situation clearly!"
"Luo Tong can indeed bring you tremendous profit, but differentiate between what's more important: money or life!"
Lu Yu coldly speaks, with an undeniable tone!
Buzz!
Upon hearing this, Marcus's brain buzzes loudly in an instant.
What's more important: money or life?
The obvious answer is the latter; without life, what's the use of having more money!
"I've said enough. If Luo Tong appears, remember to call Yunting," Lu Yu says, returning his hand to normal, speaking coolly: "Of course, you can choose not to call, but remember, I don't need to act personally to kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Marcus trembles instantly, knowing that Lu Yu's possession of that blood-colored tattoo speaks to his status in the Assassin Alliance, and such a status could summon others willing to end his life with just one call!
In front of Lu Yu, he's really not much different from an ant!
"Rest assured, Master. As soon as Luo Tong appears, I'll notify you immediately without hesitation!"
Marcus speaks respectfully at this moment, not being a fool, knowing there is no choice between money and life; obviously, he would choose to stay alive!
"That's good!"
After hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu slowly turns around, then looks at Yunting, who is slumped nearby, saying, "Let's go, Yunting. You're at least the leader of the Celestial Wolf Association; don't you feel ashamed lying there?"
"Yes, yes, Young Master Lu is right,"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Yunting instantly climbs up from the ground and says, becoming increasingly respectful in his words.
Even someone like Marcus has to kneel respectfully before Lu Yu, calling him Master, and Yunting can't possibly provoke Marcus, let alone others.
Now, Yunting considers even being beside Lu Yu to be a great honor!
At this moment, after leaving Marcus's room with Lu Yu, Yunting asks no questions, simply following Lu Yu respectfully as he leaves.
Being an old hand in the LA City's criminal underworld, how could he miss the point? The Assassin Alliance mentioned by Lu Yu is not something a local gang like theirs can touch.
Unless he wants to die, Yunting wouldn't dare to ask Lu Yu any details about the Assassin Alliance.
Upon exiting the shooting range, Lu Yu turns his head to look at the modern shooting range behind him, smiles faintly, and says to himself: "Luo Tong? Just wait, in a week, I definitely won't let you escape again!"
