Chapter 576

"The second head of the Sirius Society, Hu Tianba is dead!"

As the news of the massacre spread, chaos engulfed Yenching City. Over fifty trusted members and

elites of the Sirius Club were beheaded, and their bodies were callously dumped at the entrance of the

Hu Mansion.

The Hu family's long-established empire crumbled overnight, and many of their influential allies and

supporters were arrested. The officials remained silent, refusing to intervene.

As dawn broke, the explosive news swept through the city, sending shockwaves throughout Yenching.

The leaders of the underground world grew anxious, and those who had relied on the protection of the

Sirius Society feared for their safety. Numerous families, businesses, and enterprises trembled,

uncertain of the extent of the impending catastrophe.

Meanwhile, the common people rejoiced, releasing their pent-up frustrations. Rumors circulated that

the officials, fed up with the Sirius Club's actions, were planning to eradicate the organization and the

Lu family entirely. Countless individuals eagerly anticipated this turn of events, their emotions reaching

unprecedented heights.

"The Lu family is on the verge of collapse, and Master Lu has become a target," whispered the gossip.

"I heard that after Hu Tianba's death, Master Lu was furious and offered 30 million dollars for the

murderer to avenge his brother," spread another rumor.

"Hehe, are they still being arrogant? The Sirius Society has hit a dead end now. Rumor has it that

Master Lu, with his 80 billion net worth, is trying to use his connections to save his own life."

"Hey, I heard he even offered his eight beautiful wives as a bargain. I wonder which lucky bastard will

get their hands on them."

Rumors and gossip spread like wildfire throughout Yenching, further fueling the chaos. With Hu Tianba,

a local tyrant who had oppressed and controlled the city for years, meeting his demise, public

sentiment in Yenching became turbulent.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious villa area, within the compound of the Lu family, Master Lu, who was

dressed in a white tracksuit, reclined leisurely on a chair in his backyard. With his eyes closed, he

rested peacefully, fiddling with walnuts.

Despite his aged appearance, Master Lu, in his seventies, carried an aura of impending death. His

extravagant attire and arrogant demeanor failed to mask the signs of his aging body. It was evident that

his time was running out, and that was why he was eager to find a "Land of fortune" to construct a

grave, ensuring the prosperity and future of the Lu family.

Beside him stood a handsome young man in his early thirties, providing a detailed account of Hu

Tianba's actions. Contrary to the rumors circulating in the outside world, Master Lu did not display

anger or fear at Hu Tianba's death. Instead, he remained remarkably composed.

"The downfall of the Sirius Society due to Hu Tianba's sudden death is nothing but a joke," the young

man sneered, flattering his master. "Those fools have no understanding of the Sirius Society's

background and the power wielded by my father."

"Troy, it's human nature to be ignorant and superficial, oblivious to backgrounds and connections,"

Master Lu spoke with a smile, sipping his tea leisurely, radiating conceit and arrogance.

"Hu Tianba was always arrogant and ruthless, provoking numerous enemies. I've always advised him

to maintain a low profile," Master Lu continued.

"But what did he do? Not only did he ignore my advice but also used his accomplishments to criticize

my elder brother, leaping around and hurling insults. And now, he learned his lesson, hasn't he?"

"This is solely Hu Tianba's fault, unrelated to the Lu family or the Sirius Society."

"Even if it were related, with our years of connections, our strength, and influence, could there still be

anything unjust in Yenching?" Master Lu squinted his eyes, adopting a casual tone, even displaying a

hint of secret joy at his brother, Hu Tianba's death.

Over the years, the Sirius Society had thrived, and the Lu family had held unrivaled power. This

allowed Master Lu to cultivate his sense of self-importance and arrogance, believing that he possessed

great wisdom and could perceive the essence of things. Little did he know that he was the cause of Lu

family's downfall.
