Luis and his knights arrived at the gates of the Xu family under the cover of night. The air was tense, and Luis's men, especially Devon, were ready for action.
"Stop, why are you here in the Xu family land?" The guard of the Xu family who was guarding the gate questioned with sleepy eyes. He really hates this job, where he has to stay on duty the whole night.
Devon instinctively rested his hand on the hilt of his knife and took a step forward, but Arthur quickly intervened, holding up a hand to stop him.
"Stop it; we are nobles. Don't be barbaric, and always think about destruction without reason. Boss hasn't given any instructions yet."
Arthur felt cool when scolding Devon. It feels so refreshing when correcting others.
Devon nodded and stood waiting for the orders of Luis.
"Tell your patriarch that we've destroyed the Anyu Gang, leaving no one alive. Xu Lei is in our hands."
Luis stepped forward and said to the sleepy guard. Arthur also threw the body of Xu Lei to show to the guard.
The guard's sleepiness evaporated as he saw the bloodied, battered body of Xu Lei. He felt a chill run down his spine. Watching the body of Young Master Xulei, his heart pounded in his chest.
"Can... can I leave?" The guard stammered, unsure if he could safely walk away.
"Go, if you want to." Luis answered simply and stared at the guard.
The guard didn't need to be told twice. He ran towards the inner yard as quickly as possible, with his hand instinctively covering the back of his neck as if expecting a blade to fall at any moment.
A few minutes later, the guard came rushing towards them again.
"The patriarch says... you can come inside. He welcomes the guest," the guard said as he panted.
Luis nodded and took off his hood.
"Lead us to meet your patriarch," Luis then said to the guard.
"Xu Ma, step back. Don't speak again." The man bellowed
"Little friend, my name is Xu Zhihao, the current patriarch of the Xu Family." Xu Zhihao started the conversation with softness in his voice.
"You can call me Han Long," Luis replied short.
Xu Zhihao sighed deeply.
"Don't listen to that trash, even if he is my son. He's already been kicked out of the family. I didn't expect he'd still cause trouble even after being expelled." His voice carried a note of sadness, perhaps regret.
"He is..."
"Don't talk about your useless son here; I am here to inform you that I will be taking the place of Anyu Gang. I hope you don't try to cause trouble for me."
Luis cut off Xu Zhihao and looked at everyone on the opposite side. Everyone on the opposite side had an angry face and glared at Luis. This kid was really overbearing and didn't take their Xu family seriously at all.
It seemed that this conversation would last for a very long time. However, Luis didn't want to waste his time here any longer. He has important things to do.
He released the vortex qi from his body towards his leg. As the vortex Qi reached towards the sole of his foot, the ground began to crack in the direction of the Xu family.
Everyone backed up in horror as the crack reached towards them.
"This is not a negotiation," Luis said coldly. "This is an announcement."
Xu Zhihao looked at Luis with a deep look. After a long pause, he nodded slowly.
"Don't worry, friend. We won't make things difficult for you."
Luis, hearing this, stood up and walked outside without speaking another word. The knights also followed him.
"You better keep your promise, otherwise you will face the..." Luis voice drifted towards them as he disappeared from their sight.
