Chapter 60: Chapter 60: You’re Useless Even When Given the Chance

Lu Xiao did not get angry because of the old man’s attitude, but still wore a slight smile.

"This is good, if there are opinions, let’s raise them."

"Once raised, we can discuss them; communication is indeed the most effective way to solve problems."

"I’m not unreasonable. We can discuss things properly. There’s no need to become overtly anxious and confrontational, right?"

What Lu Xiao said was quite polite.

So polite that Jiang Lan was somewhat confused; Mr. Lu hadn’t spoken like this before!

Lu Xiao used to be domineering, saying that the Elder Council either agrees or dies...

Now why has it changed to being negotiable?

With such words, wouldn’t these old folks think you’re scared?

As Jiang Lan anticipated, upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the gaunt old man’s eyes flashed with disdain.

So, what was expected turned out to be all bark and no bite.

With you like this, you still plan to reorganize the White Clothes Pavilion and purify it under the sun? Dreaming in broad daylight!

"No need to discuss."

"I’m putting it out here today, anyone who dares to cut our assassination business is opposing Tianhe Capital, opposing me, Gui Pingchuan!"

"At that time, don’t blame us for being ruthless."

The gaunt old man’s attitude worsened, his sinister gaze might even cause nightmares for children.

Next to Lu Xiao, Chen Han’s hand had already reached for his knife.

Fucking old bastard, how dare you speak to Brother Lu like that!

Zhou Hu had also squinted his eyes, and the giant sword that had been on his shoulder was now pointed at the ground.

The Elder Council, so what? Anyone disrespectful to Mr. Lu is my enemy.

"Really don’t want to discuss?" Lu Xiao asked Gui Pingchuan once more.

Gui Pingchuan snorted coldly, then spat on the ground.

"Alright then, no discussion," Lu Xiao nodded, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Gui Pingchuan by the back of his head.

Bang!

The next second, Lu Xiao fiercely slammed Gui Pingchuan onto the ground.

The spot where Gui Pingchuan’s face landed was exactly where he had spat.

"Giving you a chance and you blow it," Lu Xiao ground Gui Pingchuan’s head into the dirt a few more times.

Lu Xiao had actually intended to communicate properly since, after all, the White Clothes Pavilion had originally grown with the financial support of the Elder Council.

It’s normal for them to have grievances since he now wanted to rebuild.

So, he had started out with patience, kindness, and smiles.

But they didn’t want it, coming up with attitudes right from the start.

"Bastard, let go of me!"

"Lu Xiao, I want you dead!" On the ground, Gui Pingchuan was still wailing.

Lu Xiao pressed down harder, and Gui Pingchuan’s mouth was immediately clogged with dirt, letting out only muffled sounds.

Seeing Lu Xiao treating Gui Pingchuan so violently alarmed the other two factions of the Elder Council.

"Is this how you solve problems?"

"If so, there’s nothing worth discussing."

"From now on, let’s each show our own skills."

"We’d like to see how you manage to bring White Clothes Pavilion into the light."

"We are well aware of all the dirty deeds White Clothes Pavilion has done over the years."

"If you, Lu Xiao, aren’t afraid, let’s make them known one by one."

Lu Xiao looked up at the other two factions, one was the Lingnan Family, and the other was a local conglomerate from Hai City.

"Fine, if that’s how you want to play it, I won’t stop you."

"But isn’t your Luo Family from Lingnan also built on smuggling? Are your dirty deeds fewer than White Clothes Pavilion’s?"

"And you, Fan Family from Hai City, if I’m not mistaken, your family was originally Qinghe Gang, right? Tsk, a criminal gang without a dark history, who would believe that!"

"When you expose, I’ll expose as well, and we’ll see who falls faster."

A few words from Lu Xiao left both factions speechless.

If they really played it that way, they weren’t sure if White Clothes Pavilion would survive, but their two families would probably be doomed.

Seeing them speechless, Lu Xiao smiled again; the timing was just about right to sweeten the deal.

"My intention is actually quite simple."

"You’re just worried that cutting out the assassination division will impact your revenue, right?"

"I’ve looked into it, each year you draw about seven billion in profits from the White Clothes Pavilion."

"I can make you a promise that next year’s profits will definitely exceed seven billion. If it’s less, I’ll personally make up the difference."

"However much it’s short, I’ll compensate that much every year it’s short."

The words of Lu Xiao left members of Luo and Fan families a bit stunned.

You... why didn’t you say so earlier!

If you had mentioned this earlier, why would we oppose!

Money is not lessening, and White Clothes Pavilion would even be legitimate; why not be happy?

"But I have one condition, when I need help in the future, you must assist with all your might," Lu Xiao lightly licked his lips.

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Chen Fei showed a trace of sympathy in her gaze.

Whether it’s the Qin Family or White Clothes Pavilion, or the current Elder Council, Lu Xiao has been striving to align and strategize.

Because he is afraid, because he is insecure, he fears finding his identity only to be rejected once again.

Lu Xiao appears strong and ruthless, but deep inside, he harbors a massive wound.

A wound that might never heal in this lifetime.

Just like himself and his brother, they will never forget the scene of being sold by their alcoholic father.

"Agreed!" After pondering for a moment, the Lingnan Luo Family was the first to nod.

Since the profits were substantial, cooperation was possible.

After all, Lu Xiao, a man with mysterious origins and brutal methods, is better not to be treated as an enemy.

"Then from now on, let’s help each other out," the Fan Family quickly showed goodwill.

"We at Tianhe Capital are also willing to cooperate!" From the ground, Gui Pingchuan struggled to raise his head and shouted.

Hearing Gui Pingchuan’s words, Lu Xiao’s gaze turned playful.

"You Japanese, always stretching your hands too far?" Lu Xiao scoffed.

The Elder Council’s other three families I can work with, but Tianhe Capital, cooperate a dead man’s head.

What? Japanese?

Everyone present was taken aback.

"Mr. Lu, are you mistaken? Tianhe Capital has always been a domestic power and the Gu Family has been a major family for two hundred years," Jiang Lan frowned beneath the mask.
