Killing with Kindness

Jiangnan Avenue, Luo Mansion.

A black car stopped in front of the gate, and the door opened, revealing Minister of Education Lu Cheng stepping out.

He looked up at the horizontal plaque above the gate.

The words "Luo Mansion" on the plaque were written in a powerful, flowing calligraphy.

Arrogant and imposing!

Lu Cheng tugged at his collar, let out a slow breath, and then...

walked through the gate, which was gradually opening.

He arrived at the study.

The first thing he saw was Luo Tianyi.

The owner of Qiming Heavy Industry had his eyes closed, his breathing steady.

Beside him stood a tall young man.

The eldest son of the Luo family.

Luo Nanxing!

Lu Cheng took off his shoes and entered the room.

He nodded to Luo Nanxing and then bowed to Luo Tianyi.

"Mr. Luo, I'm back."

Luo Tianyi didn't open his eyes.

"What was the result?"

Lu Cheng swallowed before saying, "Young Master Luo, we lost by a narrow margin."

The study was silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

In the suffocating atmosphere.

Drops of sweat appeared on Lu Cheng's forehead.

And dripped down.

After a moment, Luo Tianyi finally spoke, "I see."

Lu Cheng quickly took out a mobile phone and placed it on the table. "I had someone record the entire process of the match. It's all in here."

The father and son of the Luo family remained silent.

Lu Cheng didn't dare to linger.

He backed out of the study.

After the door closed.

Luo Tianyi finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Please invite Mr. Gao."

"Yes."

Luo Nanxing left for a moment.

Then he returned.

Gao Lin, who was instructing Luo Beichen, also arrived.

"Nanxing, you can go now."

Luo Tianyi dismissed his eldest son and then played the contents of the phone on a screen in the study.

"Mr. Gao, please take a look. This is the entire process of the match."

Gao Lin nodded and watched quietly.

In a blink of an eye.

The video ended.

Luo Tianyi looked at the old man. "How was it?"

Gao Lin slowly exhaled. "Young Master Luo, the loss was not unjust."

"Oh?" Luo Tianyi looked at the screen.

Gao Lin closed his eyes and said, "This young man surnamed Luo set a trap from the very beginning."

"The first time he used 'Startling Thunder', Young Master Luo blocked it."

"I believe he foresaw this outcome from the start."

"He did it anyway to pave the way for the final blow."

"When he used 'Startling Thunder' for the second time, Young Master Luo thought he could block it just as before."

"But this student Luo suddenly erupted and utilized the 'characteristics' of his long sword."

"Killed Young Master Luo with a single blow."

When Gao Lin opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp: "That student Luo's sudden burst of Essence Energy, this isn't the Observing Mountains and Seas technique."

"It seems Di Zheng exchanged for some 'Secret Technique' from the 'Giant Beast Strategy Department' after I left the Exploration Corps."

"And then taught it to that student Luo, resulting in this battle record."

"Heh, Di Zheng really went all out."

Luo Tianyi watched the screen and said: "I'm an amateur when it comes to combat, but since student Luo had this method, why didn't he use it at the start of the fight?"

"Mental state."

Gao Lin smiled: "At the start and later on, Young Master Luo's mental state was different."

"At the beginning, Young Master Luo clearly kept my reminder in mind."

"He was very vigilant."

"If he had used it then, it might not have been successful."

"That student Luo seems to be someone who doesn't act until he sees the hawk."

"Without absolute certainty, he wouldn't make a move easily."

"Young Master Luo ultimately lost due to inexperience."

Speaking of this.

Gao Lin looked at the man behind the desk: "Regarding this matter with Young Master Luo..."

"Should I, Gao, make a trip to Hundred Battles Academy?"

Luo Tianyi flatly shook his head: "Just losing one son, it's no big deal. I, Luo, am still young."

"I can just have a few more."

"Besides, Beichen's aptitude is limited; I never had much hope for him to begin with."

"Furthermore."

"Regarding the Death Match, the City Lord mentioned it."

"I stated back then that Beichen would be responsible for his own life and death."

"The Luo family will absolutely not pursue the matter."

"This is the situation Di Zheng wanted. What if I give it to him?"

"He thinks killing one son can strike a blow against me, Luo."

"Too naive."

Luo Tianyi chuckled: "If I were to ask Mr. Gao to go to the Academy."

"Tomorrow, the Exploration Corps will be visiting my Luo Mansion."

"Why would I give such a good opportunity to Di Zheng?"

Gao Lin nodded: "Then, this matter is settled?"

"For now, it's settled."

Luo Tianyi said in a deep voice: "The City Lord Election is imminent. I cannot let such a trivial matter affect the bigger picture right now."

"Di Zheng chose this time to make a move, wasn't it precisely to disrupt my rhythm?"

"But I won't let him have his way."

"Of course, while I don't particularly like that child Beichen."

"He is my son after all."

"I can tolerate it for the election, but not forever."

"After the election, I will settle this properly with Di Zheng."

He chuckled again as he said this: "Besides, to retaliate against Di Zheng, why would Mr. Gao need to personally go to the Academy."

"Doesn't Di Zheng want to promote that student Luo?"

"No problem, I, Luo Tianyi, will also promote him."

"I'll promote him to the heavens!"

"Make him the most dazzling rising star in Guangling City!"

"At the same time, I'll make him the target of public criticism."

"By then, I won't have to lift a finger; there will be plenty of people who want to pull this rising star down."

"And stomp him into the ground."

"People, they can never stand to see others do well."

"Tall trees catch the wind, and popularity breeds envy."

"It's always been like this!"

Gao Lin nodded slightly, "First, praise them, then tear them down. Kill with a borrowed knife."

"Mr. Luo, a brilliant strategy."

Luo Tianyi smiled, not responding.

He simply took out some perfume and lightly sprayed the cut end of his cigar.

The next moment.

He was already puffing away.

As if he didn't feel the slightest pain over the death of his son.

Hundred Battles Academy.

Infirmary.

Luo Yan suddenly sat up.

For a moment.

He thought he was still on the surface.

Entering the academy, observing the forbidden zone, the death match duel.

It all felt like a dream.

"You're awake."

Wei Fenghua's voice sounded.

Seeing this instructor, Luo Yan knew.

Everything that had happened was not a dream.

Luo Yan nodded, "I'm awake."

Wei Fenghua placed a hand on his shoulder, "Lie down, you still need rest."

"But you can rest assured, the poison in your body has been neutralized."

"For the next two days, do not cultivate."

"Let your body rest."

"By the way, you've been in Guangling City for a month now."

"Besides the academy, you haven't been anywhere else, have you?"

"This weekend, go out and explore."

"First, to relax."

"Second, to familiarize yourself with this city."

Just as Luo Yan was about to say he didn't know the way.

He heard Zeng Shan's voice.

"Luo Yan, come over to my place tomorrow."

Wei Fenghua moved aside, and saw Zeng Shan and Li Bohang walk in.

After greeting Wei Fenghua, Zeng Shan said enthusiastically, "I'm going home, if you don't mind, why don't you come to my place for a couple of days?"

Luo Yan looked at Wei Fenghua. Seeing his instructor nod slightly, he then said, "Okay."

Zeng Shan was very happy, "Then it's settled."

He then whispered, "Old Luo, that sword strike where you instantly killed that guy named Luo was absolutely awesome!"
