The martial artist disagreed.
"Utter nonsense! Lu Chengwen has no grudge against us whatsoever. Besides, he killed the evil Jiang Xiaogou, caused havoc in Tianwu, and helped the Jiang Family defeat Rat Head at Three Cups of Wine. He's a great hero! A great man brimming with righteousness and positive energy!"
"Going after him, capturing him, torturing him, humiliating him... is that an act of justice? Wouldn't that betray the original purpose of our Justice Alliance?!"
Lu Chengwen nodded. "Makes sense."
The skinny man curled his lip. "Pah! He just likes grandstanding. He obviously wants to sleep with the Saintess too."
Lu Chengwen glanced at the skinny man, then looked at the martial artist. He suddenly found the man far less likable.
The intellectual rebuked him furiously. "You're being willfully blind to reality!"
He launched into another speech. "Lu Chengwen is a crooked businessman! Everyone in Xue City knows it. Everyone wants to eat his flesh, gnaw his bones, drink his blood, and chew his sinews!"
"He killed Jiang Xiaogou because they couldn't agree on dividing the spoils. He wreaked havoc in Tianwu because he coveted the Tianwu Saintess's beauty. And he helped the Jiang Family repel Rat Head because he wanted to marry into the family, cling to a powerful patron, and safeguard his commercial schemes!"
"A man like this deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces! Killing him is to uphold justice, imprisoning him is to preserve world peace, torturing him is to obtain intelligence needed to defend justice, and humiliating him is to punish his countless crimes!"
He jumped straight down from the platform. Everyone immediately scattered aside to make room for him.
Lu Chengwen, the skinny man, and the burly man all backed away hand in hand.
"Easy, easy! Careful, careful! Slow down, slow down..."
