CHAPTER 255 UNTAMEABLE KNIFE

In the house up the mountains outside of Shengcheng. Belonging to .

There was a head placed on the tea table. That was Lu Qian's head.

Master Fu looked at this head and didn't seem bothered by the blood splattering all over the tea table. He calmly said, "You've been eliminated."

"Do you know why you've been eliminated?"

He sounded like he was talking to someone who was still alive, as if Lu Qian wasn't dead. "You were too rash."

"Since you could hold it in for more than a decade, why couldn't you hold it in for a few more years? We've sold our lives to others and now you've even lost your life."

Master Fu waved his hands and Broken Sword took Lu Qian's head away.

There was still blood all over the tea table, but Master Fu didn't seem to care. He continued to make tea leisurely.

But he had a grim expression on his face, as if he was mulling over a problem.

He had guessed how things would end, but the way things arrived at this end was beyond anything he had imagined.

Too powerful.

That was the only thought Master Fu had in his mind.

Jiang Ning was too powerful.

He was so powerful, he was terrifying.

He made everyone fear him.

The Lu family's power was unparalled in Linhai. Even though Master Fu had Broken Sword, he could only ensure that both sides remained in a deadlock.

But as they grew older, Master Fu and Broken Sword would be no match for Lu Qian in just a few more years. When that happened, Master Fu would eventually have to give up Shengcheng's illegal circle.

But now Lu Qian was dead, and all his best men were all dead too.

All this was because of one Jiang Ning!

Jiang Ning had only appeared barely three months ago and looked completely harmless.

"I had managed to borrow a really good knife, but this is a knife that's impossible to tame."

Master Fu started to have a headache.

He knew what Jiang Ning meant when he decided not to kill Lu Qian. This was Jiang Ning's response to Master Fu after he had entered this game.

He had expressed his sincerity, so what about Master Fu?

"Everyone says I'm a wily old fox. And you? You're a wily young fox."

Master Fu broke into a smile. There was no hatred nor malice on his face. He only had admiration and respect.

Broken Sword returned. The murderous air around him remained as terrifying as ever, and most people would not go anywhere near him.

"What do you intend to do next?" His voice remained as cold as distant as always.

"Go back to Shengcheng," replied Master Fu.

Broken Sword was silent for a few moments. "The north is getting impatient."

Master Fu laughed coldly.

When was the north ever patient?

All these years, Master Fu had been earning so much money without a single complaint. In the end?

What did they do to him? Did they think that he didn't know?

He wasn't too old yet and could still get work done, so he was still useful to them. But Lu Qian's attack this time had put a lot of pressure on Master Fu, and the north was very displeased with him.

The people above him didn't always care about winning or losing, but they cared a lot about reputation. Master Fu's disappearance embarrassed them, and so they were very displeased with him.

If not for the huge benefits involved, there was no way they would have allowed Master Fu to do something like that.

But what would happen in a few years down the road?

When Master Fu became too old, he would be like a tiger with no teeth, and wouldn't even be eligible to guard the door.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity.”

Master Fu finally broke the silence and he looked seriously at Broken Sword. "You've followed me for more than twenty years and you don't owe me anything. If you can leave now, leave."

Broken Sword shook his head and didn't say anything.

"People like me will never meet with a good end."

A smile remained on Master Fu's face and he didn't look fearful at all. "Once you're a dog for someone else, you might look glamorous on the outside, but you know how much suffering and pain one has to go through."

"You shouldn't have been involved in this at all."

"But I'm already involved." Broken Sword's voice was filled with determination.
