Capítulo 1298: Chapter 1291: Give One More Month
“You’re right. Tianxing indeed had the ability to lead the Lu Family to glory, but that was before.”
Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Old Master Lu took a deep breath and slowly said, “If it were the Lu Family of the past, indeed a bold family head was needed. But tis have changed. The current Lu Family is already decaying; it’s no longer a vibrant family but a setting sun, a family that has lost its edge. At this mont, if you choose a bold family head, it not only won’t lead the Lu Family to glory but might lead it to destruction because the Lu Family is already rotting.”
“Just as you said, born in distress, die in ease. How many people in the Lu Family are aware of its crisis? They are always indulging in pleasure now. If Tianxing leads the Lu Family to glory, this path is full of thorns and crises. Do you think these people would approve? If Tianxing does it, the Lu Family might fall into internal strife imdiately without needing an enemy attack.”
“And maybe because you grew up in the family, although you lack Tianxing’s boldness, and even like to consider a lot of things with every step, you’re indeed not suitable to lead the family to glory. But you are suitable to maintain it. Perhaps you won’t make Lu Family stronger or more glorious as the head, but you can prevent its demise.”
At this point, Old Master Lu sighed deeply. As the saying goes, starting a business is difficult, but maintaining it is even harder. Now, the Lu Family faces the difficulty of maintaining it. If this hurdle is overco, the Lu Family might rise again without difficulty.
“Grandfather, I understand what you an.”
After hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue took a deep breath and said heavily, “Grandfather, I assure you, I will definitely protect the family legacy of the Lu Family accumulated over hundreds of years and ensure no one will destroy it.”
“Good.”
Old Master Lu nodded gently, a hint of fatigue showing on his face, “With these words, I can be at ease. In a month’s ti, be ready to formally take over as the family head of Lu Family. From now on, the Lu Family relies on you.”
Upon hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue was slightly astonished. He wasn’t stupid; he detected other anings in Old Master’s words, like a farewell.
“Grandfather, what happened? Why did you suddenly tell this? Did sothing happen?”
“Nothing happened, just that grandfather is getting older and wants to relax. Plus, I’ve agreed with Tianxing that when he cos to Suzhou next ti, I’ll go with him to stay in Modu for a while. So, handing over the position of family head to you relaxes , and I can rest for a while.”
Old Master Lu smiled softly, waved his hand, and said, “Haoyue, if there’s nothing else, you can go back! Don’t worry about .”
Lu Haoyue looked at Old Master Lu and finally nodded, “Then I’ll go first. Take care of yourself, grandfather.”
After saying this, Lu Haoyue turned and walked outside. He intended to ask his father, as his father surely knew about his grandfather.
As Lu Haoyue left, Old Master Lu’s face suddenly turned pale. The stool beneath him abruptly shattered into pieces as if torn apart by sothing. The ground showed marks as if cut by a sharp weapon, with sharp auras appearing all around his body, sharp as swords.
“Can’t suppress it anymore? One month, God, please give one more month. After a month, do what you will, but I hope you pity and give one more month… ”
Old Master Lu seed unfazed by the sword qi around him, muttered to himself, a trace of unwillingness on his aged face. A month, he needed just one month to arrange everything so that even if he’s gone, the Lu Family won’t face a significant crisis.
One month, he needed one more month.
…
On the other side of Earth, the night in New York had beco sowhat cold, with the desolate moonlight casting over the land, draping it in a silver veil.
Bikeman Hotel.
The hotel suite was eerily quiet, with only the sound of breathing in the darkness.
After so unknown ti, Lu Tianxing, who had been sleeping with closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, a hawk-like gleam flashing within them. He glanced at Bai Zhiqing, who was asleep, and quietly got up from the bed, leaving the bedroom.
Sweeping his gaze over the suite’s hall, Lu Tianxing casually took a bottle of red wine from the nearby cabinet, poured himself a glass, and said calmly, “Silent Annihilation, since you’re here, don’t hide. That’s not fitting for the top assassin.”
“Hehe, worthy of being the Judge. I’m curious how you discovered .”
As soon as Lu Tianxing’s words fell, in the room echoed a hoarse voice that made it difficult to discern gender.
Following that, a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe, even its face hidden, appeared out of nowhere before Lu Tianxing. He exuded a faint aura, though slight, it gave off a sense of sharpness behind the back. His visible eyes were as cold as ice, devoid of human feelings. eting his gaze felt like staring at death.
Upon seeing this shadow, Lu Tianxing’s pupils contracted, a glimpse of horror flashing within his eyes. The feeling from Silent Annihilation was more terrifying than that from Shankou Hongyi; if he truly fought to the death with Silent Annihilation, there was a sixty percent chance he’d die, with the remaining forty percent they’d perish together.
“Was it difficult to notice you?”
Despite being struck by Silent Annihilation’s powers, Lu Tianxing’s expression didn’t change. He lightly sipped his wine and said calmly, “However, I have a question I hope you can answer. Since you’re after the Four Symbols Ring, why haven’t you acted against ? With your assassination skills, killing quietly isn’t hard.”
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Silent Annihilation’s eyes fluctuated, and he said lightly, “Judge, you’re very confident. I also have a question I hope you can answer; what makes you believe I’m after the Four Symbols Ring?”
“Aside from the Four Symbols Ring, it seems I have nothing else to tempt you. Unless you’re interested in personally?”
Lu Tianxing stood up, stared directly at Silent Annihilation, and his lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
