The Rise of the White Lotus

601 BANG!

Lexi blinked her eyes several times despite her dizziness. As she tried to move, she realized her movements were limited.

Alarmed, Lexi gazed on her body, and her eyes widened in shock. What's on her, it was undoubtedly a bomb! "Ethan!" Out of instinct, Lexi panicked as she called her husband's name.

However, as she set her shaking eyes on Ethan Lu, her complexion turned paler. Shifting her gaze to the figure near her, Lincoln Lu smirked at her that sent a chill down her spine.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing Lexi's terrified expression and Ethan Lu's kowtowing, Lincoln Lu's happiness reached its peak. "What a rare sight to see!" Clapping his hands, Lincoln Lu's laughter resonated across the whole abandoned warehouse.

"Alright... since my nephew is obedient, I'll scratch the idea of tormenting you further." Lincoln Lu wiped the tears on the side of his eyes as he recomposed himself.

Slowly, Lincoln Lu strode towards Ethan Lu. As he approached, he glanced at the men vigilantly standing behind Ethan Lu. However, despite their numbers and intimidating glares, that didn't stop Lincoln Lu from approaching the kowtowing Ethan Lu.

"Master, since you're obedient I'll tell you something interesting..." When Lincoln Lu stopped in front of Ethan Lu's figure, he slowly raised his foot and stepped on the back of Ethan Lu's head.

"You!" Speechless by the humiliation Lincoln Lu causing his master, Lyrick Jiang ground his teeth as his gaze already pierced Lincoln Lu's heart.

In Lyrick Jiang's mind, he had killed Lincoln Lu many times. If only he could...

Not just Lyrick Jiang, but also Jarred Guo and Nico Zhuang were trembling in anger. How dare this coward do this to their master? The two were ready to take the man down if they saw an opening.

"Churu..." On the other hand, Churu heard Ethan Lu's voice inside her head.

"I know." Whispering her reply, Churu slowly faded into the crowd, making sure she'd leave unnoticed.

Within the next second, Churu appeared near Lexi, taking down a few men around Lexi. None realized what had done when they heard the thudding noise of bodies crashing down to the ground. When everyone turned their gaze in the direction of Lexi, the rope and tapes that were wrapped around Lexi were already gone.

Lincoln Lu's eyes widened as he saw his men on the ground while the young Lady was holding on the bomb far from the corner. Everything happened in a split second, which caught everyone off guard.

Still, as soon as Jarred Guo and Nico Zhuang saw Lexi out of harm's way, they hound on Lincoln Lu. They pinned him down, as harsh as possible.

"Argh!" Wincing in pain as two men pinned him down, Lincoln Lu gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu slowly raised his head up. His forehead had a bit of blood trickling down on him due to the pressure Lincoln Lu did when he stepped on the back of his head.

Looking down at the pinned down Lincoln Lu, Ethan Lu's eyes bore no human emotions. Just a glance with the pair of his black orbs, one could feel the killing intent glinting across it.

"Lincoln Lu, I let all your ploy slid in the past... but this time, I can't." Slowly, Ethan Lu pointed his pistol's muzzle to Lincoln Lu's head. His forefinger positioned on the trigger as he slowly pulled it.

"Ethan!" Although Lexi was still in the process of understanding what was going on, the killing intent she sensed from her husband was too overwhelming.

In her perspective, Ethan Lu was not hesitating to pull the trigger. He would kill him — he'd kill Lincoln Lu!

"Please don't!" Through her shaking voice, Lexi shook her head as terrified tears fell from the side of her eyes.

Call her naive and foolish, but Lexi's last wish was her husband killing someone. It was not like she'd change her view towards her husband or anything of that sort. It was the fact that Lexi knew he would never be the same — deep down; she knew that.

Moreover, they'd been abiding by the law of the government and God. They were not religious people, but all their efforts in trusting the justice system would all be for naught if Ethan Lu ended up taking justice in his hands.

"Hahahaha! Why did you stop, master?" When Ethan Lu heard Lexi's terrified yet trying to be brave voice, he stopped from pulling the trigger. However, at the same time, Lincoln Lu's maniac and taunting words assailed everyone's ears.

"Tie him up — Rick, surrender him to our reinforcement when they came." Ignoring Lincoln Lu's mocking remarks, Ethan Lu closed his eyes as he heaved a heavy breath.

"Yes," When Lyrick Jiang bowed his head, Ethan Lu lowered his gun as he turned to look at Lexi's pitiful figure.

The instant his eyes set on Lexi's tearing eyes, Ethan Lu's gaze softened. The killing intent in it vanished as if it weren't there in the first place.

"Ethan..." Sobbing, Lexi's emotion were overwhelming her, making her body unable to move an inch. She was too terrified, her body could only shudder even if she tried to stand up.

Lexi had never been in such a scary situation. Although she expected the worse before marrying Ethan Lu, the actual situation was way different compare to what she imagined.

Therefore, even though Lexi had taken up training for basic self-defense, she couldn't use it in real-life situation. Especially in this kind of situation.

"Hahahaha! Master, did you really think you'd bring me down just like that?" When Ethan Lu took a step forward, he stopped as Lincoln Lu hysterically laughed.

The next second, Ethan Lu spotted a red dot on Lexi's forehead; he couldn't move an inch upon seeing that.

"Do you think I don't have a different plans to bring you misery? Master, let's all die!" As soon as Lincoln Lu exclaimed, everyone heard a loud, resounding BANG!
