Chapter 17: I Offer You Two Paths
“Director, I sincerely apologize. There’s been a disruption caused by a wild boar; I’m afraid this meal won’t be happening. I’ll treat you properly another time so we can catch up.”
“As for that kind of scum, don’t worry. I’ll handle it myself.”
Li Moxuan’s voice was calm and indifferent.
He truly didn’t take someone like Huang Wei seriously.
“Ah, Moxuan. As the saying goes, it’s better to resolve grudges than to create them. We came out to enjoy a happy meal together today; there’s no need for things to escalate like this, right?”
Director Peng sighed.
Huang Wei was a man of considerable wealth and ruthless in vengeance. Given Li Moxuan’s current family situation and background, he was no match for Huang Wei!
“We can talk this through. For my sake, let’s all step back. You apologize to Huang Wei, and we’ll put this matter behind us.”
Li Moxuan frowned but wasn’t willing to directly refuse Director Peng’s request out of respect.
However, Huang Wei, hearing Director Peng’s words, became arrogant and swaggered up from the ground:
“Director Peng, it’s not that I don’t respect you, but some people just don’t know their place.”
“I, Huang Wei, despise useless trash without talent the most. Today, I’m going to show him that scum like him only deserve to kneel and be controlled.”
If it weren’t for his desire to win over Li Moxuan’s sister and Mrs. Osmanthus, he would never have treated them to this meal.
“Oh? Is that so? Fine, I’d love to see what you’ve got!”
Li Moxuan crossed his arms, his cold gaze fixed on Huang Wei, a faintly amused smile playing on his lips.
“Alright, today I’ll satisfy you!”
“Refusing wine only to be forced to drink the punishment wine.”
“Since it’s come to this, I’m too lazy to waste words with you. I offer you two choices: either I cripple you and take those two women for myself, or you kneel now and apologize, personally bringing those two women to my bed to watch me enjoy them.”
“Kid, what’s your choice?”
Huang Wei smugly wiped the soup from his face with a napkin and lit a cigar.
Meanwhile, Lin Yitong, seeing Huang Wei strike Li Moxuan, was so excited she nearly jumped up, emboldened by his power:
“Hmph… Li Moxuan, how dare you insult me? I want to watch you die with my own eyes, and see those two worthless sluts being toyed with.”
Huang Wei’s true nature was laid bare.
Mrs. Osmanthus and Li Moxuan’s sister both turned pale with rage.
They had never seen such shameless people!
Just as Li Moxuan’s sister was about to retort angrily, Li Moxuan raised his hand:
“I swore before, I will never allow my sister to be bullied!”
“I don’t care what you are—anyone who dares set their sights on my sister will die!”
With those words, a terrifying killing intent surged from Li Moxuan’s body, a fierce whirlwind radiating outward from him.
Tables, chairs, and utensils trembled, emitting a series of sharp clattering sounds.
“I’ll give you a third option.”
His voice was icy, imbued with an authority that brooked no doubt.
“Apologize to my sister, or you won’t leave this private room alive!”
Though Huang Wei was shaken by the overwhelming aura, he still sneered contemptuously at Li Moxuan:
“You lowlifes think you have a choice? What a joke.”
Lin Yitong laughed along, taunting:
“Li Moxuan, you’d better take a good look at yourself before you act so high and mighty.”
Li Moxuan nodded slightly, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
“Looks like you’ve made your choice!”
Huang Wei exhaled a plume of smoke with extreme disdain.
“Yeah? What can you possibly do to me…”
Bang!
Before Huang Wei could finish, a massive fist suddenly loomed large before his eyes.
Smash!
Li Moxuan landed a solid punch on Huang Wei’s face.
His body flew backward, crashing through a cluster of tables and chairs.
“Ah…”
He screamed in agony, teeth flying from his mouth, his nose twisted and deformed, blood pouring out—definitely broken.
For a moment, every nerve in Huang Wei’s body burned with pain and humiliation.
Covering his blood-soaked face, Huang Wei glared in shock and fury:
“You… you actually dared to hit me?”
Li Moxuan issued his final warning:
“This is your last chance to apologize. If you don’t, I guarantee you won’t walk out of this room alive. If you don’t believe me, feel free to try—but you only get one shot.”
The private room fell into a deathly silence at the sight of Li Moxuan’s domineering and commanding presence.
Director Peng stared at him blankly, as if seeing him for the first time.
Lin Yitong, who had been ready to act arrogantly, suddenly froze, her smile vanishing.
Like a chicken strangled by the neck, her face flushed red with frustration, swallowing back the many words she wanted to say.
Mrs. Osmanthus and Li Moxuan’s sister stood dumbfounded.
Li Moxuan’s sister had anticipated he might act, but never expected him to be so resolute and direct.
Huang Wei lay on the ground, staring at Li Moxuan’s cold, merciless gaze filled with lethal intent.
That overwhelming sense of fear wrapped around him completely, plunging him into despair.
A madman—simply a madman.
Truly, harsh environments breed ruthless people.
These barefoot men weren’t afraid of those wearing shoes—if one of them had a mental illness and actually killed him, even Li Moxuan’s worthless life wouldn’t be worth anything.
Damn it, it’s just an apology, right? I’ll hold back today!
With that thought, Huang Wei trembled as he looked at Li Moxuan’s sister and forced out an apology:
“I… I’m sorry, young lady. It was my fault earlier. Forgive me!”
Lin Yitong looked at Huang Wei in shock.
She never imagined that Huang Wei, a grand real estate company boss, would apologize to a country girl.
Li Moxuan picked up a porcelain bowl from the table and crushed it with a little force.
Crash!
The bowl shattered instantly into a pile of white powder.
“If you dare to lay a finger on my sister again, this bowl will be your fate!”
Huang Wei and the others’ pupils contracted sharply. Was this guy a freak? How could he wield such terrifying power without hurting his hand?
Is he even human?
