Chapter 38: Two Options
“Hahaha, you vermin. Who do you think you are? In front of Young Master Lu, you’re just a pile of sh*t. You don’t even deserve the chance to lick his boots. Go on, continue showing off, continue your bragging!” Wu Feng barked at him with an ugly expression like a mad dog.
“You’re Ye Lingchen right? I’ve heard of you.” Lu Hao was calm and collected, as though everything was well under control. “I’ve heard you’re quite the capable fighter. Why don’t you have a little spar with my two underlings?”
As he finished his statement, the two bouncers behind him walked forward.
On them was a murderous aura. They have definitely killed before, and more than one victim at that!
Their intimidating presence made the crowd in the hall take a deep breath.
“Lu Hao, stop this! Ye Lingchen is my friend!” Xiao Feifei berated Lu Hao as she glared at him, her expression darkened.
“You want to beg for mercy in his place?” Lu Hao looked at Xiao Feifei in a teasing manner, the corner of his mouth curled at an angle, “It’s not impossible to protect him. I’ll give you two options.”
He enjoyed this feeling of lording over others, determining their fate with his words.
“What options?” asked Xiao Feifei, biting her lip.
Lu Hao raised his right foot and placed it atop a stool. He then pointed at Ye Lingchen, then ordered in an unquestionable tone, “If he’s willing to crawl under my crotch and bark three times like a dog, I’ll spare his life!”
“Young Master Lu, that’s too generous for someone like him!” groaned Wu Feng unwillingly. His gaze revealed a desire to devour Ye Lingchen1.
Lu Hao raised his hand, signaling for Wu Feng to shut up.
“Feifei, I want you to have a good look and understand that the man you fancy is but a dog in front of me. Not only him, but most of the men in this world are but dogs! No, they’re not even comparable to dogs! To have my fancy is your blessings!” Lu Hao exclaimed while looking condescendingly towards all those around him in an utterly arrogant tone.
“What about the second option?” Xiao Feifei asked in a trembling voice.
“Hehe,” Lu Hao chuckled, then gathered all the alcohol on the table in front of him.
In a high-class restaurant, alcoholic beverages were well stocked, and they offered quite a varied selection.
Maotai, Le Vin Rouge, Lafite, etc. Both red and white wines were available.
Lu Hao raised the bottles, one by one, mixed all the different varieties into a single glass.
“As long as you drink everything in this glass in one go, I’ll let that kid off.”
The type of glass he used was huge. The volume of one glass was definitely over a liter.
Furthermore, within the glass was a mix of six different types of drinks with high alcohol content!
Mixed drinks were the easiest way to get drunk.
In truth, putting mixed drinks aside, even with just ordinary white wine, for someone like Xiao Feifei who did not consume alcohol at all, one glass was sufficient to knock her out.
This type of drink, apart from passing out from the alcohol, it was a torture to consume!
“Don’t you worry. I have already made a reservation of the presidential suite for you. If you’re drunk, I will personally escort you back to your room,” Lu Hao snickered while staring at Xiao Feifei.
A man carrying a drunk woman into a hotel room. That act in itself speaks volumes!
The entire hall was deathly still.
Lu Hao was tyrannical. The two options he provided could toy with a person’s dignity and make them dance in his palm.
Xiao Feifei’s expression was complicated. Within a short time, various thoughts flashed by her. In the end, she put on a resigned smile.
Extending her hand towards the table and lifted the glass!
However, just as she wanted to down the drink, the glass was snatched away by Ye Linghen.
Xiao Feifei gave Ye Lingchen a weird look, “Lingchen, you…”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Ye Lingchen’s expression remained stoic as he calmly consoled her.
“Mm?”
Lu Hao looked at Ye Lingchen as he would observe some ants. He raised his head arrogantly, “It seems you have taken the first option. Come, crawl away!”
His every word as though a matter of fact, expecting others to obey his every whim.
From start to end, he did not think much of Ye Lingchen.
Some people were born prestigious. Right at birth, they were already on the finishing line that many could only dream of.
Some, however, would live to be a nobody for their entire life, always just a lowly peasant.
Ye Lingchen was obviously the latter.
He did not need to consider Ye Lingchen’s feelings because he could easily decide his fate!
“You vermin, to be able to crawl under Young Master Lu’s crotch is your honor. You would bring honor to your ancestors!” Wu Feng laughed at him contemptuously.
“Only these two options?” Ye Lingchen’s face expressionless, “Is there, not a third option?”
“Absolutely not!”
Lu Hao guffawed, “For me to grant you two options is already showing you my utmost generosity. How dare you ask for more? Stop wasting my time. It pains me to waste my time with a lowly plebeian like you. If you anger me, I don’t mind sending you to heaven!”
Ye Lingchen stared at Lu Hao in his arrogance, then shook his head, “I think there’s still a third option.”
“Oh?” Lu Hao’s face turned gloomy, “Do tell.”
“Discipline you.”
“What?”
Lu Hao thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
“Let me leave, or be ready to face my wrath,” mentioned Ye Lingchen casually.
“I will face your wrath? Hahaha…” Lu Hao laughed to the point of tearing, as though he had just heard the best joke of all times. Many in the crowd also started joining his laugh.
“Asking for death! This kid is asking for death!”
“I think he must have gone crazy under great pressure from Young Master Lu.”
“Sigh, even Han Xin 1endured his shame for crawling under someone’s crotch. This kid lacks a proper temperament.”
Wu Feng was all the more excited, trying hard to keep himself from bursting out in laughter, “The heavens are helping me! This kid is a moron! Instead of treasuring his chance at life, he had to light up toilet—looking for shit (death)1!”
“Good, very good! You have successfully worn out my patience.”
Lu Hao laughed for some time, then threw an icy glare at Ye Lingchen, “However, considering how you managed to entertain me so much before your death, I’ll grant you a quick painless death.”
Having said that, the European hunk and the Southeast Asian both slowly walked up towards Ye Lingchen.
Xiao Feifei’s face was drained of color. Her entire body was trembling from fear.
Ye Lingchen gave her a reassuring look, then started moving forward.
He kept his gaze looking forward, keeping his eyes low. His hands behind him, looking cooly at the two, then spoke, “Both of you, come at me together!”
“F*ck! What’s this? Showing off?”
“I didn’t expect this loser to dream of being the king of braggarts! Even before death, he has to brag!”
“Oh, I’m dying of laughter. Could it be that this kid thinks he’s some great master? Or is this cosplay for him?”
The European hunk exchanged gazes with the Southeast Asian, their eyes overflowing with rage.
The European hunk bumped his fists together, then punched directly at Ye Lingchen’s head.
The Southeast Asian instead twirled a dagger in his hand, then struck out suddenly like a venomous snake towards Ye Lingchen’s kidneys!
Top and bottom.
One with brute force, one devious.
Both working in harmony, making the perfect attack.
