Chapter 88: Are You Oversimplifying Things?
Bang!
At this moment, a dull thud resounded as the sleazy landlord's head was yanked by Lu Yu and brutally slammed against the wall. In an instant, a splash of blood erupted from the sleazy landlord's face, creating a terrifying sight.
Lu Yu stared at the blood-covered face of the sleazy landlord in front of him, coldly chuckled, and then tossed him violently to the ground, his face full of disdain as he let out a sneer.
For the despicable and deceitful behavior of the sleazy landlord, Lu Yu had no intention of giving him a second chance this time. He had to make him pay the price he deserved, or else the harassment of Xia Bing would be endless.
With this in mind, Lu Yu stepped in front of the sleazy landlord and said, "How do you feel?"
"B-Big brother, I really know I was wrong this time. Please give me another chance. I promise I won't dare to do it again!" The sleazy landlord hurriedly pleaded, his words filled with fear as he looked at Lu Yu.
He had seen Lu Yu's methods last time, and this time he thought the men he brought could easily take Lu Yu down.
But he never expected that none of the men were a match for Lu Yu!
Recalling Lu Yu's formidable skills earlier, the sleazy landlord was gripped by absolute terror, trembling as if he had a seizure, using one hand to brace himself on the ground, looking utterly wretched.
"You know you're wrong?" Lu Yu's face showed a mocking expression as he heard the landlord's words. "Weren't you quite arrogant when you threatened me with those seven or eight thugs? Why are you scared now? If you've got the guts, don't back down now—keep going!"
"I don't dare... I absolutely don't dare..." The sleazy landlord repeatedly said in response to Lu Yu's words, his speech soaked in fear.
Just now, Lu Yu had kicked a two-hundred-pound hulking man and sent him flying. With such power, how could he dare continue being arrogant?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu approached the sleazy landlord, patting his cheek as he sneered, "You brought seven or eight thugs wielding cleavers to attack us, and now you think a simple sentence will solve all this?"
Lu Yu paused momentarily before saying, "Do you think you've oversimplified the situation?"
Lu Yu's voice was as cold as ice. After uttering these words, he suddenly kicked hard into the landlord's chest with enormous force, causing a gush of blood to spurt from the landlord's mouth as he tumbled backwards.
After this kick, the sleazy landlord struggled to get up from the ground, breathing heavily. Looking at Lu Yu, he said, "B... Big brother, I... I know I was wrong. I'll agree to anything you want as long as you spare me."
The sleazy landlord's words were laced with fear, his entire chest seemingly caved in. Each breath brought stabbing pain, making it difficult for him to speak coherently.
"You'll agree to anything?" Lu Yu's expression carried a mocking smirk as he heard this.
"Yes, any condition you propose, I'll agree to it—as long as you let me go!"
The sleazy landlord quickly pleaded, his words full of desperation. Only now did he realize how terrifying Lu Yu was.
"Since you'll agree to any condition," Lu Yu approached the landlord, crouched down and said, "Then hand over another one hundred sixty thousand, and I'll let you go."
At these words, the sleazy landlord froze in place. He had just paid one hundred sixty thousand a few days ago, and yet Lu Yu was demanding another one hundred sixty thousand!
If he handed over that amount, he'd have to fork out the entire year's rent he collected to Lu Yu.
"B... Big brother, can it be a little less..." The landlord implored, his words reaching a point of near begging.
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes displayed a cold smirk. Looking at the sleazy landlord, he spoke with a frosty tone, "Just now you said you'd agree to any condition, but now you're unwilling to give even one hundred sixty thousand? It seems you're not very sincere!"
"For someone so lacking in sincerity, I usually prefer action over words."
Lu Yu said coldly, slowly lifting his leg before stomping heavily on the sleazy landlord's hand!
Bang!
With another dull thud, the sleazy landlord's hand bones shattered!
Ah!
The sleazy landlord immediately clutched his hand, letting out a loud scream, contorting in immense pain.
Seeing the sleazy landlord before him, Lu Yu's eyes were icy. Against bastards like this, he had to strike hard. If he didn't, the other person wouldn't learn, and thoughts of revenge would arise!
Such people were no different from animals. Lu Yu's principle was always to beat them into submission and instill fear, thereby completely severing any intent for revenge!
"Shut up! If I hear even a hint of your whimpers again, I'll break your legs. Do you believe me?" Lu Yu said, standing over the landlord with coldness in his voice.
At these words, the landlord's screams abruptly ceased, his body trembling visibly, clearly enduring immense pain.
Looking at the miserable state of the sleazy landlord, Lu Yu's gaze remained frigid. He continued, "If you hand over the one hundred sixty thousand, today will be over. If not, consider the consequences yourself!"
As he spoke, Lu Yu's face bore a fiendish grin, looking at the landlord with a slight smile, "Oh, by the way, just a friendly reminder, I'm not negotiating. If you can't produce the money, I'll break your legs. Do you believe me?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words made the landlord tremble even more violently. He never imagined Lu Yu would be so ruthless; in his eyes, Lu Yu was nothing short of a devil!
The man in front of him, who seemed harmless, acted even more ruthlessly than a demon!
Whenever he thought of this, the sleazy landlord couldn't help but tremble. He had originally aimed to reclaim that one hundred sixty thousand and then target Xia Bing, but he hadn't expected not only to fail but to be brutally beaten by Lu Yu and still required to hand out another one hundred sixty thousand!
