The whole living room was shrouded with a stifling pressure. The subordinates dressed in black stood all around, expressionless. They were cold and serious.

  The group stood wearing military handcuffs, all with serious injuries on their faces.

  They weren’t fatal as they were still standing.

  No one had ever seen Lu Chengzhou in action, but today they witnessed it.

  It almost became the final seal on their coffins.

  They were completely wiped out today.

  Lu Yi and Lu San looked at their faces and then at each other. They were all surprised. There was information on these people in Red Flame’s database, and the quote they received for the job was in the hundreds of millions.

  But anyone with a brain knew that this bunch would not even be able to scare the young master. Several hundreds of millions squandered just like that. Were they that dumb? Did they have that much money to waste?!

  He Yidu and Qin Fang were sitting on the opposite sofa and thought this was so odd.

  “Who gave out these missions?” Lu Chengzhou asked. His voice was solemn and raspy as he looked at them.

  No one answered. The silence was very uncomfortable.

  Lu Chengzhou’s jaw tightened, and his eyes darkened as he glanced at Lu Yi.

  Lu Yi nodded, gestured with his chin, and the subordinates wielding black rods circled around them.

  Expressionless as they beat up the group, the sounds of several bones breaking could be heard. The mercenaries were used to blood shed, and they were very tough.

  Ten minutes later, they fell squatting on the ground, bleeding from the corner of their mouths. Still, they gritted their teeth and no one spoke up.

  Lu Chengzhou raised his hand, and with a little gesture with his finger, the subordinates stopped and stepped away.

  “Who gave out the missions?” He glanced at them and asked again, his tone lighter than the last time but still filled with menacing intent.

  After taking the beating, their faces were still numb. They were unmoved.

  He Yidu took off his glasses off of his nose and wiped the lenses slowly. “When we ask you, just tell the truth if you know what’s good for you. If not, you’ll have to explain yourselves even after taking a beating.”
“Yeah guys. I’m sure you know how Red Scorpion works, right?” Qin Fang smiled and said in agreement.

  With these few words, the group of more than ten men changed their expressions slightly, but they still wouldn’t speak up.

  One of them suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Chengzhou and said, “Young Master Lu, let’s put aside the rule of not divulging the employer’s information. When we took on this task, we only took the money to do the job. Even if we are beaten to death here, we still won’t be able to answer your question.”
Someone else said, “Yeah, Young Master Lu, if you have time to interrogate us, you can totally go and investigate the people whom you haven’t had a good relationship with.”
He Yidu’s gaze sharpened. He wiped his glasses and put them on, looked at them, and chuckled. “You’re quite bold to be telling us what to do.”
The two’s expressions froze and they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

  Lu Chengzhou frowned slightly, his eyebrows revealing his frustration. “For the last time, tell me what you know.”
Still no one spoke up.

  Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips and his eyes became colder. The entire living room became several degrees colder in an instant. Suddenly, the man chuckled, reached for a cigarette, bit one in his mouth, and lit it up. After a slow puff, he placed his hands on the sofa armrests. Smoke circled the air.

  He retracted his chin slightly and his eyes narrowed. The atmosphere was chilling and suffocating.

  A few seconds later, the man said in a light and slow voice, “I’m curious to know as well if there are such things as lips that can be so tightly sealed.”
