Tangling with the Western Commander
Chapter 461: 458

Chapter 461: Chapter 458

His tone paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, the words popped out of his lips, one by one, “Or should I address you as the Captain of the Western District… Lu Xiao!?”

At these words, Lu Xiao’s actions gradually ceased.

His gaze also fixed on Li Tingze, with a trace of mockery shining in his icy eyes, he said unhurriedly,

“What, you did some unspeakable evil in the west and now fear retribution?”

Li Tingze’s body froze slightly at these words, then he stared unblinkingly at him, “What do you know?”

Especially since that USB drive that might be on Wen Xian contained too many secrets.

Lu Xiao, upon hearing this, let out a light snort, looking at him and asking,

“Nervous about something? Could it be that you have a murder on your conscience, which is why you’re so… scared?”

Both men were probing each other, and as Lu Xiao’s last words fell, he watched closely for the slightest expression on Li Tingze’s face.

Sure enough, he saw his pupils dilate slightly.

According to the study of micro-expressions, when a person’s inner secrets are poked, or when they’re nervous, shocked, or scared, their pupils will dilate.

A mouth can lie, but a person’s behavior and expressions cannot.

Did Li Tingze kill someone? Just as he had previously speculated, was the corpse they found in the west, bound and with its head blown open by a gunshot, also related to him…!?

Lu Xiao just stared at him, until Li Tingze suddenly let out a dark, cold laugh.

Then, he dragged the half-dead kid from the ground, pulled him up, and forced his upper body onto the table, pushing his face close to the bubbling hot pot.

The kid immediately began to struggle frantically, clutching desperately at the table.

The rolling hot soup and the towering copper pot, where flesh would sizzle and emit white smoke upon contact, with some pieces even sticking to it.

“No, no—”

The kid let out a voice filled with extreme fear.

Lu Xiao just sat there, witnessing the scene.

Nobody could see through or understand what he was thinking.

“Don’t want it? How can you not— Whoever dares to oppose me, I’ll make sure they die miserably!”

He said fiercely, and suddenly pushed the man’s face into the scalding hot pot.

“Ah—!”

Just as the hot liquid touched his scalp, eliciting a piercing scream, suddenly, a powerful gust of wind shot through the air—!

A shattered disc slice rapidly grazed past Li Tingze’s wrist, and although he dodged quickly, his wrist was still grazed, drawing blood.

Li Tingze looked at Lu Xiao, his rage no longer concealed, and suddenly shouted,

“Attack, now!”

As his command was issued, the crowd surged forward. Lu Xiao instantly kicked over the table, and the scalding hot pot soup splashed onto several people, eliciting continuous screams.

A fight was about to erupt as a chair suddenly flew towards Lu Xiao. He swiftly tilted his head, and the chair slammed into the man behind him instead.

The man didn’t even have the chance to shout before the flying chair knocked him out cold.

Li Tingze, beside himself with rage, gritted his teeth and ordered, “Catch him, kill him—!”

He knew his secrets and dared to stand in his way, so he had to die!

No sooner had these words fallen than a group quickly moved to the wall of the repair shop, lifting a burlap sack and pulling out several large machetes.
