Today was the day when Master Lu Ba of the Sirius Society married his ninth wife. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion.
Yet someone dared to send him a coffin! What's more, most of the influential people in Yenching were there!
That was a brazen act of humiliation and provocation!
Yenching had a population of 20 million. Who among them dared to oppose the Lu family?
Before Lu Ba said anything, a middle-aged woman decked out in jewelry stepped forward. She pointed at Chu Feng's nose and began to yell, "How dare you! A coffin? What's the meaning of this? Who do you think we are? Guards, seize him and chop him into pieces! Throw his body to the kennels! You will be made an example!"
That woman was Zhao Lan, Lu Ba's second wife and Lu Hui's birth mother.
She was the daughter of a black market tycoon in the southern region. Notorious for her cruel and aggressive personality, she claimed the position of the matriarch of the family from the first wife shortly after she married Lu Ba. As the mother of Lu Ba's first son, she was also the most influential woman in the family.
None of the two-hundred-odd people of the Lu family dared to oppose her.
In a few seconds, a dozen brawlers swarmed in from the front gate, wielding machetes.
Lu Ba sipped his tea, trying very hard to contain his anger.
He did not say anything yet because he wanted to maintain his image of a benevolent leader.
Punishing brazen intruders like Chu Feng was necessary to maintain the Lu family's authority. If word got out, people might stop taking them seriously.
"Do you like this gift I brought?" Chu Feng said. He had an impassive expression on his face, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Ignoring the hostility around him, Chu Feng tapped the coffin lid with his palm and said, "Why don't you take a look inside?"
Bang! The lid was pushed aside. Everyone who saw the contents of the coffin let out a collective gasp.
Inside the coffin was none other than Lu Hui, Lu Ba's eldest son.
To be exact, it was Lu Hui's corpse!
His face was pale, and his limbs were stiff. One could easily tell that he was no longer alive.
