Chapter 703: Chapter 355 The Underground Queen Submits!
In the large pavilion, only Xu Hongzhu was left standing alone.
"Mr. Lin."
Xu Hongzhu, after all, was a daughter of a big family that had weathered many storms, the heir cultivated by the family over many years; she was not to be taken lightly.
Even though her mind was turbulent, she still held herself upright.
The imposing presence of Lin Beichen was like a flood, while she was just a lone boat in this vast flood.
The power and influence at her disposal were mere jokes in the face of this surging flood.
The other party could easily crush her to pieces with a mere smile.
Xu Hongzhu had never felt so deeply that humans were so powerless in front of true power.
"Did you know, from the moment I stepped into the Phoenix Club, I had already seen through your tricks?"
Lin Beichen walked past the crowd, silently looking at Xu Hongzhu with a calm smile on his face.
"I just wanted to see what cards you still had up your sleeve, daring to challenge me? But you disappointed me; with just a few peak cultivation subordinates, you dare to challenge me, you’re simply wasting my time!"
Lin Beichen looked coldly at Xu Hongzhu, noticing her body trembling and her eyes dazed.
Lin Beichen sighed lightly.
"I overestimated you. I thought your father was a southern hero, even if you were mediocre, you should at least have some cultivation. But now it seems, your talent is too poor, limiting your vision, and also your height."
With every word Lin Beichen said, Xu Hongzhu’s face turned a shade paler.
His words were like stabs to the heart, continuously disturbing her mind.
In her entire life, she had never been so humiliated.
But she could not resist because Lin Beichen was speaking the truth.
This was the most pitiful.
Cyan spiritual light gathered in Lin Beichen’s hand.
Xu Hongzhu was instantly alarmed upon seeing this.
Although she had no talent for cultivation, she was not foolish.
Lin Beichen always gathered spiritual light before killing someone, and once the light was fully condensed, her head would be severed.
"Mr. Lin, killing me won’t benefit you at all."
At the brink of the Ghost Gate, Xu Hongzhu abruptly reacted, her mind racing, immediately speaking.
"Although our Xu Family is just a local power in Huadu, our influence is not limited to Huadu. I am Xu Jiangyan’s daughter; if you kill me, you will not only become an enemy of Huadu but also of the south."
Lin Beichen showed no fear, even appearing calm, the spiritual light in his hand almost complete.
"I know you won’t care about this, but you must understand, our Xu Family has been operating in the south for decades. My father has built a vast commercial empire, and annihilating the Xu Family will only lead to chaos in the south.
A chaotic south cannot serve your purposes. You have come to the south with plans; you may not care about my Xu Family, but you surely don’t want to waste time, correct?"
"As long as you spare my life, I can persuade my father to fully submit to you. Then, whether it be Huadu or the south, it will all be at your command.
Conquest or destruction, my Xu Family will follow you forever, without betrayal!"
Speaking, Xu Hongzhu slowly took off her coat, revealing her graceful and seductive figure, her eyes full of allure, intending to use her body to earn her life.
Xu Hongzhu was already very beautiful, a rare beauty in the south, and she was at the peak of her womanhood, coupled with her noble status.
Such a woman throwing herself at a man would drive any man crazy; she did not believe Lin Beichen could refuse.
Offering her entire fortune, and her body for his pleasure.
Xu Hongzhu believed, with all these conditions added, Lin Beichen would surely spare her life.
But when she raised her head, she saw only cold indifference in Lin Beichen’s eyes.
In Lin Beichen’s gaze, there was only a detached and resolute demeanor, nothing extra.
The spiritual light was complete, Lin Beichen’s hand slowly lifted, touching Xu Hongzhu’s neck.
With just a light squeeze, Xu Hongzhu’s beautiful life would come to an abrupt end, dead completely.
"Mr. Lin, I don’t want to die."
At this moment, Xu Hongzhu suddenly screamed, tears bursting from her eyes.
She had played all her cards.
Everything that could trade for her life was placed before Lin Beichen, but seeing his eyes, she realized all her offers were useless to him.
"Mr. Lin, you can kill me, but can you kill my entire family? You may not care about others’ opinions, but don’t you care about Ah Xiang’s?"
"Luo Meixiang?"
Lin Beichen’s hand paused slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Expanding his perception, Lin Beichen saw the commotion in the front yard and saw Luo Meixiang walking toward the backyard.
Luo Meixiang’s eyes were filled with urgency.
This young girl was worried about his safety.
Despite knowing the backyard was filled with danger, she still came, disregarding her life.
In an instant, Lin Beichen’s heart, cold as frost, showed a slight wave.
He could not care about Xu Hongzhu, could not care about the masses in the south, but he did not want to make Luo Meixiang sad.
If he killed Xu Hongzhu, Luo Meixiang would certainly be upset.
"Mr. Lin, as long as you spare me, my previous offer still stands."
