Chapter 875 - Won’t Be Safe

Through the streets of Imperial, passing many vehicles and making multiple turns, a taxicab finally entered Retro. The taxi stops in front of a 7-story building, and the rear door opens.

A man with a slightly disheveled appearance steps out after paying the taxi driver. He had dark circles under his eyes and reeked of alcohol.

Even his posture looked unstable.

"I'll get my revenge."

He groggily mutters as he makes his way towards the building.

"I'll make them pay for humiliating me and taking away my children."

*Vroom Vroom

He was only a few feet away from the building when a man riding a black motorcycle revs to a stop in front of him.

"What the fuck?!"

Suddenly blocked and almost ran over, he stumbles back. Due to his slightly drunken state, he could not steady himself and fell onto the ground.

"Well, hello there. Liu Peng."

The man chuckles with mischief and gets down from the motorcycle.

He doesn't remove his helmet but looks down at Liu Peng. His head shakes like he is in disappointment, and he clicks his tongue.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Wrong move, my man."

Liu Peng furrows his eyebrows and stares up at the stranger with confusion. He doesn't know this person, but it seems like the person knows him.

"W-who are you? How do you know me?"

He asked but sensed a dangerous aura from the stranger. He swallows a gulp. He glances at the building and tries to calculate his move.

Will he be quick enough to run to Red Moon?

Quickly seeing through Liu Peng's mind, the man howls a maniacal laugh. With his face unrevealed, his head tilts to the side, bringing the helmet along.

"Even if you go in there, you won't be safe."

The words sent a chill under Liu Peng's skin, and his face drained of all colors. He stares up at the stranger with trembling eyes.

"W-what do you want from me?"

He stammers his words, but the more he looks at the person's figure, he feels he has seen this man before. He just couldn't recall when or where.

"If it's money you are after, I don't have any at the moment. Give me a few days, and I will pay you back whatever amount I owe."

The stranger doesn't respond right away, but one can tell that behind the tinted face shield of his helmet, he was staring straight at Liu Peng.

He steps away from the motorcycle and walks towards his target.

"Money is a tempting offer."

As he stops in front of Liu Peng, he squats down to be at eye level with the man.

"But sadly, that's not what I'm here for."

His left hand leisurely raises, and he moves the face shield of his helmet.

"You see... I'm here to shatter your fate."

Liu Peng's eyes glued to the man's every move without once blinking his eyes.

He was rooted in place when he saw the face behind the helmet. His eyes widened in pure horror, and he felt a lump stuck in his throat.

After a long minute passes by, he is able to find his voice again and trembles a word.

"Y-you..."

Lin Hui grins at the man's reaction, but his eyes hold a dangerous glint of light. He reaches out a hand and lightly pats the shocked man's cheek.

"Ah, indeed it is I."

Liu Peng's mind was unresponsive as he could only stare at Lin Hui. Before he came to Red Moon, he made sure no one was following him.

How could Lin Hui have found him out?

The thought crossed his mind, and he subconsciously glanced behind Lin Hui.

He sees the motorcycle, and everything makes sense. He had seen that black motorcycle parked at every place he went but didn't put too much thought into it due to his need for alcohol.

Lin Hui sneers at the man knowing he (Liu Peng) has connected the dots.

While keeping watch of the man, he didn't hide his intentions. He wanted Liu Peng to know that he was being followed. However, alcohol seemed to be more critical.

"You really are a failure as a person."

His eyes darkened as thoughts ran through his mind.

"Liu Peng, your fate has been sealed the moment you laid a finger on your children."

"Shut up!!!"

Liu Peng roared in rage and bloodshot eyes. He glares at Lin Hui, and his hands curl into tight fists.

"You can never touch me! Neither can that stupid wo-!"

Before he could finish the word woman, intense pressure weighed on him. Lin Hui suddenly grabbed his neck, stopping every word he wanted to say.

His body swung backward, and the back of his head crashed against the hard cemented ground.

"Ugh!"

He struggled a grunt, and it became hard to breathe. All he could do was try to move the hand wrapped tightly around his neck.

Lin Hui stares down at the man in his firm grasp. There was no ounce of sympathy in his eyes but murderous intent.

"Never insult my boss in front of me."

The chilling cold in his eyes intensifies, as does his grip. The tip of his fingers dug into Liu Peng's neck without any care about the man's pain.

He will never allow anyone to badmouth his boss, especially not in front of him.

"You will meet death sooner if you do."

His eyes darken, and he pulls Liu Peng up by the neck but only to slam his head back on the ground.

"This pain you are feeling is just the start of your misery."

Liu Peng was in a vulnerable position. No matter how much he struggled to free himself, it was to no avail. Even the punches he threw didn't seem to have any effect on Lin Hui.

He knows that if Lin Hui wanted to kill him, he would have already died.

"H-Hel... H-Help..."

Through the pain that shot throughout his head, he was able to gasp for help but with difficulty. He could only hope that someone from Red Moon would come to his aide.

"Crying for help is not something a coward like yourself should say."

Lin Hui slams Liu Peng's head one last time against the ground before letting go of his grip around the man's neck. He ignores the blood that spread onto the ground from the wound he caused as it was nothing compared to the Liu siblings' pain.

"How does it feel to be the one in powerless pain?"

He stood up and walked to stand next to Liu Peng's head. He raises his right foot and tilts the man's head to the side before pressing his foot down on Liu Peng's cheek.

He adds a bit of strength to his foot but not enough to smash the man's head into pieces.

"Not so fun, huh?"

"What's going on here?!"

From behind sounds, a man's hoarse voice interrupts Lin Hui. It was a familiar one. However, he doesn't turn around or take his foot off Liu Peng.

"It is as what you are seeing."

The man frowns at Lin Hui then looks down at the bloody Liu Peng. His eyes land on Lin Hui again, and he sizes the man with a smirk.

"Do you know where you are?"

He wasn't intimidated by the scene and walked towards the two men. This was something he had seen too many times.

"You're on Red Moon's territory. If you know what's good for you, scram."

Liu Peng's head was pounding with waves of pain, but he was quickly washed with a sense of relief when he heard the man. He was glad that God had listened to his prayers and sent someone to help him.

"Help me... He's going to kill me..."

He struggled with each word with gasping breaths as the man's footsteps grew closer. He could already see Lin Hui getting taught a lesson from a member of Red Moon.

From his experience, he learned that Red Moon is a gang no one can mess with at all. Those who do cross Red Moon's path are all dead.

However, this relief that came over didn't last for long.

Lin Hui kept his foot on Liu Peng's cheek. As the man's footsteps grew closer, he casually reached inside his jacket and grabbed a cold object.

His body slightly turned to the side as his arm stretched out, bringing along the dark object he had taken out.

"I do know what's good for me."

Muzzle aimed directly at the man and index finger on the trigger. His cold eyes stare at the man standing at arm's length from him as if piercing into one's soul.

The dark pistol in his hand was pointed an inch away from the man's forehead.

His mouth curls into a smile that does not reach his eyes.

"But do you, Jia Lin?"
