Like a pillar that stood its ground, Lu Tian looked like a domineering and powerful ruler standing in the midst of a battlefield. His eyes held no trace of mercy or sympathy. All there was is pure coldness.
To the left of him stood Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Xu Long. To his right stood Qi Li, Jiangyu and Ye Zhongwei.
Each one of them gave off the image of mighty generals that will not hesitate to kill for their ruler.
Chu Li Xiang was scared out of his wits. He rather be dead at this moment than face Lu Tian.
He didn't dare to utter a word, but seeing something from the corner of his eyes, he glance to his right.
The second he saw the neat rows of different handheld weapons, all the colors on his face drained like a ghost.
Fear far scarier than anything he had ever experience crawled inside him and his body shakes uncontrollably like he was having a seizure.
\"Arrhhh!!! Let me go!! Let me go!! Arrhhh!!!\"
The sound of metal clanks loudly inside the room as Chu Li Xiang struggles to break free from the chains that bound him to the brick table.
\"Let you go?\"
Lu Tian calmly spoke as he throws the cigarette he had yet to finish away. He leisurely walks over to the crazy man.
Stopping at the side, he stares down at Chu Li Xiang with one corner of his lip slowly arcs up into an evil smirk and his head shook.
\"I don't think so.\"
He glance to Jiangyu then turns away in the direction of the weapons that stood await like soldiers.
At the same time, turns away in the opposite direction of his boss. He walks up to a metal box that looked similar to circuit breaker box, but it has a different purpose.
He switch a button on and turns back to face everyone without leaving his position.
The sound of mechanical powering on resonates above everyone and everyone, except for Lu Tian looks up to the ceiling.
Liu Shan and the others stares in amusement, but only Chu Li Xiang stare in petrifying horror.
The once closed ceiling was now replaced with multiple windows that allows one to see the dark sky outside. However, right above Chu Li Xiang were mirrors that allowed him to see himself and everything beyond his head.
\"Lu Tian! You coward! Let me go!! Fight me like a man! Arrhhh!! Arrh!!!!\"
Seeing how pitiful his reflection looked, Chu Li Xiang was no longer in fear but in rage. Never has he ever been treated this way.
\"Lu Tian!!! Fucken coward!!!\"
Without giving any care to Chu Li Xiang's shouts and curses, Lu Tian took his sweet time looking at the weapons in front of him like he was at a dealership looking at cars.
He grabs the short sword and observe its beauty, yet deadly sharp blade. However, like it didn't satisfy him enough, he set it down and picks up a hammer. Doing the same thing he did to the short sword, he moves on to the next weapon.
After what felt like an entire day had gone by, he finally came to a decision.
Walking towards the end of the weapons, he reach for the hammer, but pause. Moving his hand a little more to the right, he grabs the long axe instead.
Holding it slightly up with one hand, he turns to look at Chu Li Xiang. Their eyes met for a quick second before Lu Tian looks at the axe in his hand.
\"I find it quite amusing when someone about to face death tries to talk big.\"
His last word fell as his hand holding the axe drops to his side allowing the head part of the axe to hit the hard floor in a thunderous clank.
\"A wise man once told me…\"
He takes a step forward then another. His dark murderous eyes never leaving the man as the axe in his hand drags behind like it was too heavy for him to carry.
However, anyone can see that he is purposely doing this.
\"Bad deeds lead to bad karma.\"
The sound the hard metal scrapping the floor is enough to scare anyone, but combine with Lu Tian's calm, yet terrifying expression, it was enough to kill someone.
\"All the blood stained on your hands, I shall avenge.\"
His (Lu Tian) entire being at this moment no longer resembled a businessman, but one of a lunatic serial killer in a thriller film.
Seeing Lu Tian was getting closer to him, Chu Li Xiang was face with petrifying dread. His mouth open and close as he chokes the words out.
\"I-I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'm sorry for killing your child!!\"
*Claannng—
Lu Tian didn't care about Chu Li Xiang's apologies. He raise the heavy axe with one hand and ruthlessly chops the man's right arm down to the bone.
His gesture was like a forest man chopping down a block of wood in the middle of the forest.
\"Arrrrrrhhhhhhh—!!!!!\"
Following the chop came Chu Li Xiang's horrendous shriek in intense pain. Blood splutter from his open wound as one can even see his bone.
The blood poured onto the brick table before it trails down to the floor.
Lu Tian lightly taps the axe on the table and uses it to flick the bloody, yet clean chopped arm onto the floor with cold eyes on the man.
\"Do you think your words of sorry will bring my child back?\"
Without averting his eyes from the man, he gestures a signal with his free hand in indication to Jiangyu.
Quickly as he saw the signal, Jiangyu switch on another button and the ground began to shake like a mild earthquake had occurred on the island.
Only, it wasn't an earthquake.
Inches near the head of brick table, the ground spread open to reveal a deep hole with the sound of ocean waves pushing through as it hits against the walls.
In the very center of this hole, one can see a very small concrete space enough of a person to stand. However, it was still at least five inches under the water.
Chu Li Xiang was on the brink of passing out due to shock, pain and all the blood he was losing.
In a drowsy state, his eyes wondered in every direction, until he glance up at the mirror above him and his lips began to tremble.
He could see his blood was falling into the hole and like time had slow down, his eyes widen when his blood drops into the water.
However, what shook him to the core was, a few seconds after his blood merged with the ocean water, two big and ferocious sharks charge up into view with their mouth widely open and sharp razor blade teeth.
In that moment, he swore the sharks were close enough to devour him in one gulp.
\"Let… me go… I… I beg you… please.\"
He pleads with a raspy and dry voice. However, in the next second, his body froze again as he knew no matter how much he begs, he cannot escape.
Lu Tian positions the axe like a club and hits the bodyless arm as if he was playing a game of golf.
The arm easily drops into the water and Chu Li Xiang watched as the two sharks wrestle into a fight to eat his arm.
Seeing the terrified look on the man, Lu Tian scoffs a smirk before his expression returned to one of indifference.
*Claaankk-!
He slams the axe with full force on the brick table only inches away from Chu Li Xiang's head and slightly tilt his head to the side.
\"This is only the beginning.\"
