Life Reaches Its End

Chapter 36: The End of the Road

Things earned through hard work are cherished, and money is no different.

Lu Li's money was all taken from gangsters, practically picked up for free. He hadn't experienced the process of cultivation and accumulation.

So, he spent it without any pressure, transferring 150,000 dollars into Qian Ping's account without batting an eye.

Qian Ping no longer had any doubts, convinced that Lu Hongbing was doing well. He immediately sent a WeChat message:

[Haven't seen you in years, let's find a chance to get together.]

Seeing these enthusiastic words, Lu Li sighed with emotion.

Afterward, he went to "UPS" International Express again to mail the Calming Incense.

He spent 200 dollars on the most expensive express service. The courier company would ship it via air, ensuring it arrived in Xia Country within three days, completely intact.

Now, all that was left was to wait.

Lu Li relaxed and took Jessica to the amusement park.

Jessica looked around excitedly, while Lu Li, experiencing it for the first time, was equally curious.

The two got on the roller coaster. When the safety bar came down, Lu Li was still a bit excited.

But as the roller coaster started and sped away, he began to feel bored.

No matter how it plunged and twisted, the sudden acceleration, the weightlessness, couldn't bring him even a shred of excitement.

Lu Li remained expressionless, as if he were riding a bus.

Next, they played the drop tower, which also didn't evoke any feeling.

There were screams all around, but Lu Li sat there calmly...

The powerful spirit from Spirit Refining, along with the killings he had experienced, made him completely immune to this level of excitement.

In contrast, Jessica had a blast.

After playing all the thrilling rides, she went to retrieve the photos taken by the camera and exclaimed repeatedly:

"Wow, you're not scared at all~ So amazing~"

Lu Li's photo looked like it could be used as an ID photo.

Looking at his own calm expression, he suddenly laughed, "Thanks to you~ I've been to an amusement park now too."

After playing to their heart's content, the two had a delicious barbecue before heading home.

Jessica had a wonderful day, skipping along as she walked, humming a tune.

This mixed-race girl already possessed outstanding beauty, and with her bright smile at this moment, she looked even more charming and captivating, drawing frequent glances from passersby.

Just then, a few female students in school uniforms walked past.

Most schools were already preparing for their reopening.

Jessica suddenly said, "Lu Li, you don't have much money left, do you? How about I don't go to school anymore~ Tuition is so expensive~"

"No way!" Lu Li said directly. "You must go, and I'll send you to the best private school."

Jessica pouted and said nothing more.

Lu Li also began to ponder how to make money.

Reselling antiques? Jade? Precious metals?

With the dual-world door, there were many ways to make money; it just required some effort.

But just then, Jessica suddenly shrank behind Lu Li.

"I, let's take a different route..."

He looked up and saw that they were passing by that "light" nightclub.

The young girl had been imprisoned there for many days, leaving an indelible psychological scar.

Taking a different route was actually the worst option. Always running away would only make a person weaker!

"Some say the best way to overcome fear is to face it. Come on~ I'll go with you."

Lu Li took Jessica's small hand and walked calmly past the entrance of the nightclub.

Even after the murder case, it was still brightly lit, with several rows of heavily tattooed men standing at the entrance maintaining order.

Lu Li mused, "Business seems to be quite good..."

Seeing these burly men, Jessica's face instantly turned pale, and her whole body trembled.

Lu Li frowned; this could already be considered "post-traumatic stress disorder."

The little girl had been staying at home since the incident, and he hadn't noticed it.

As fate would have it, suddenly, four heavily tattooed men rushed forward and surrounded them.

One of them said coldly, "Pierre wants to see you."

Jessica looked at Lu Li in fear. They hadn't brought any weapons when they came out to play!

Lu Li smiled gently, his eyes seeming to brew the universe and galaxies. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

At this moment, Jessica's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When they entered the nightclub, a metal detector had been added at the entrance.

It seemed that after being massacred once, there were finally some changes.

They went to the office on the 3rd floor. It had been renovated again, but the safe was still on the desk.

After being scanned again with a handheld metal detector, Lu Li and Jessica were finally allowed inside.

"The security is much better than before."

Lu Li commented, then saw the current owner of the place—Pierre.

This person had a strange appearance, with no hair on his head and a Chinese character tattooed on his neck—"Fate."

"Hey~ Xia Countryman! My favorite tattoo, I got it from a Xia Country tattoo artist. He said it means holding the throat of destiny~"

Pierre, along with his many subordinates, stared at Lu Li with smiles that weren't smiles, their gazes full of mockery and cruelty, their malice unconcealed.

Lu Li looked around. There were nine people in total. He said, "Good evening, gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

Hearing this, a group of people snickered.

Pierre sat in the boss's chair, staring at Lu Li with his eyebrowless eyes, and said mockingly:

"I just took over this place and need to revitalize the economy. I want your woman to work here."

Lu Li said calmly, "What if I say no?"

Pierre took out a butterfly knife and scraped his fingernails. "Then I'm afraid we'll have to gangbang this little bitch right in front of you."

He stared at Lu Li, saying with great interest, "I'm very curious, will your face still be as calm as it is now?"

Laughter erupted. In the eyes of these people, Lu Li was unarmed, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

But Lu Li stared at the safe on the desk and asked, "Is its password still 911911?"

Hearing this, Pierre's expression changed. "How did you know..."

He vaguely sensed something was wrong and quickly reached for the gun on his waist. Some of his faster subordinates also reached for their guns...

But at this moment, Lu Li entered Samadhi and glanced at the butterfly knife in Pierre's hand.

The knife flew out with a swish and stabbed into the eye socket of a thug who had drawn his gun first.

This person reacted the fastest and was the first to die.

Lu Li beckoned again, and before Pierre could react, his gun also flew into Lu Li's hand.

"Uzi?"

This guy's service weapon was the famous "Uzi submachine gun."

"Interesting."

Amidst the slowly dawning expressions of astonishment on the faces of the group, Lu Li pulled the trigger.

A thug wearing a cross around his neck was instantly shot ten times, spraying blood as he died.

Lu Li swept the gun horizontally, and three more people were riddled with countless bullet holes and fell to the ground, dead.

This thing fired too fast; all 25 rounds were gone in the blink of an eye.

There were three enemies left with the ability to resist.

In 0.6x speed, they were making slow-motion movements to draw their guns. The fastest one's muzzle was already starting to rise.

Lu Li's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the chin of this person.

With a "crack," his head rotated 180 degrees to face behind him, clearly twisted by Telekinesis!

At the same time, Lu Li looked at the second enemy drawing his gun.

This person was using his thumb to flip the safety switch when, without warning, the gun flew out of his hand and landed in Lu Li's.

"Another M1911. You guys seem to really like this gun."

Lu Li raised his hand and fired two shots. Within six meters, he achieved two precise headshots, spraying blood and gore onto the ceiling.

In less than five seconds, only Pierre remained sitting in the boss's chair, his face full of disbelief!

Lu Li looked at the "Fate" tattoo on the man's neck and said, "Didn't anyone tell you this means your fate is at its end?"
