Chapter 454 - help him

*Thud

Chu Li Xiang's body slams against the chair by Chu Qiang, but due to the hard impact the chair tips back and loses balance as it falls backward causing the man to fall onto the floor with a loud thud.

His body aches all over as he has not fully recovered from the crash during his escape. His breathing turned heavy as he glares up at his brother.

"What the fuck Qiang!! Can't you see that I am in pain?!!!"

Chu Qiang glares with wide murderous eyes at his bastard brother. He walks over to his brother and squats down to be at eye level with the man.

"Lu Tian was just here, and he is looking for you."

Hearing this, Chu Li Xiang's eyes widen in shock and horror. He struggles a difficult gulp that shook his body.

"So what. Are you going to turn me in?"

Just as his words fell, he is met with a sudden punch on the cheek. His head turns to the side and he spat out blood.

Chu Qiang press his lips tightly before parting them to speak.

"Turn you in? Of course I will. You reap what you sow. What you did and who you did it to, your life alone will never make up for it."

Listening to his older brother, Chu Li Xiang clench his fists tightly. He thought Chu Qiang would help him since they are brothers, but now, it seems he is alone.

Julia is already dead and the only person he thought would help him is Chu Qiang, but from the looks of it, Lu Tian's little visit has made his brother turn into a coward.

His body shook tremendously before he reach into his pocket. Taking out a gun, he shoots his brother.

*Bang—!

"Boss!!"

Chu Qiang was caught off guard as he was suddenly shot in the shoulder. His body falls back as Guan Li shouts to him with widen eyes. He (Guan Li) never thought Chu Li Xiang would want to kill his boss.

The young man reach for his gun and shoots Chu Li Xiang, but before he could pull the trigger, Chu Qiang stops him.

"No, it's alright."

Chu Qiang grunts at the pain as he sits up. His palm press against the wound and he looks at Chu Li Xiang with a sneer.

"Our brotherly relationship ends here."

Shock filled Chu Li Xiang when he realized what he had done, but it was too late, he had already shot his brother. However, hearing the man's words, anger arouse in him more.

"You're a coward brother. You turn you back on me all because you are afraid of Lu Tian."

He force himself to stand up from the ground and glares down at Chu Qiang.

"But I am not a coward like you. I am not afraid of Lu Tian."

His fists clench tightly, and he stumbles out of the room. He knows that Lu Tian is searching for him, because he killed Yue Ling, but it is only fair since the man took his (Chu Li Xiang) woman.

Nearing the door, he swore inside, he will make sure that Lu Tian does not find him, once he recovers, he will kill the man himself.

Watching the man leave, Chu Qiang force the blood wanting to escape from his mouth back inside. He takes a deep breath inside and spoke.

"Lu Tian wants me to relay a message to you."

He pause in his words as Guan Li helps him stand up.

"If you want to want to play hide and seek, you better hide well, because your fate was decided the moment you took what was important to him."

He takes a deep breath and his words continue.

"The person you thought you killed, is not dead and doing well."

Hearing that Yue Ling did not die, Chu Li Xiang was rooted to the floor. How? Shouldn't the crash have killed her? What about the man he sent?

However, he calms himself and strides out of the room. Right now, he needs to hide and recover.

Chu Qiang gritted his teeth as he growls after his so called brother.

"Fate is also coming to collect your life."

Hearing these words, Chu Li Xiang paused in his steps, but only for a quick second. He was too angry to think about the man's words and continues to stride out the room.

Until his footsteps further away from the room, Chu Qiang heaves a sigh. His head shook and he orders Guan Li.

"Send someone to follow him."

Guan Li nod his head and helps his boss to a chair. Helping him sit down, Guan Li looks at his boss.

"You really don't plan to help him?"

Leaning against the chair to lessen the pain on his shoulder, Chu Qiang shook his head.

"Fate already sent a message. If I help him, it will be the end of Black Dragon."

Listening to his boss's words, Guan Li sighs inside. He knows that his boss is not a coward, he is only thinking about the people in Black Dragon.

Brushing the thought aside, he politely bows, "I'll call for a doctor."

Chu Qiang's eyes follows the boy until he disappeared from the room. He leans his head back on the chair and stares up to the ceiling.

Guan Li is known as his left-hand man, but in truth, the boy is more like a son to him. Someone he wholeheartedly places his trust on, even more than his brother.

If possible, he wishes to let the boy live a normal life instead of staying in the underworld. However, no matter how many times he brings the subject up, Guan Li would refuse to leave.

Thinking this, he thought about his words to his brother.

Chu Li Xiang can call him a coward all he wants, but he is not one. As a leader, he needs to think about his people too. Why would he sacrifice the lives of hundreds for Chu Li Xiang's evil deeds when they did nothing?

Taking a deep breath, his thoughts deepen.

The reason why he and Chu Li Xiang are so different is because they are only brothers in name.

His father, the former leader of Black Dragon and Chu Li Xiang's father were brothers from the same parents. When his uncle passed away, his father was forced to take in Chu Li Xiang's mother as a side mistress.

At the time, Chu Li Xiang was only four years old when he entered Black Dragon. As he grew older, he appeared to be a righteous person to the point that his (Chu Qiang) father even wanted to make Chu Li Xiang the leader.

But behind all that goodness, Chu Li Xiang had an evil side to him. He would sacrifice anyone's life just to get what he wanted.

His (Chu Qiang) father had a well temperament and wanted to do things based on right and wrong, when he (the father) saw Chu Li Xiang's true evillness, he knew he could never give the leader position to a person who only wants to do evil upon the world.

Thus, when the former leader passed away, in his will, the position was passed down to Chu Qiang.

As the new leader, he (Chu Qiang) had tried every possible way to change his younger brother, but everything he did seemed to turn for the worst.

Black Dragon may be part of the underworld, but they are not considered as evil as the rest. They maintain their peace and only attack when needed. However, those who oppose of this way sided with Chu Li Xiang in the dark.

Chu Qiang sighs and his thoughts change to Lu Tian and Yue Ling.

He has seen what Lu Tian is capable of. All the people the man has gone after has not once escaped his grasp. If not thrown in prison, then they are dead somewhere.

However, it's Yue Ling who he worries about the most. She may be a woman, but she is the leader of Fate for a reason. Her ways of handling things is by far different from Lu Tian.

The reason he couldn't tell Chu Li Xiang her identity is because of a deal made between her and those who have seen her.

In the past, there was a gang leader who met her for the first time and when he tried to reveal her to someone, the man was found dead in his bed that same night.

As Chu Qiang was deep in his thoughts, it was suddenly disturbed when Guan Li returned with a doctor. He sits up and sighs inside.

Chu Li Xiang's fate was already decided the moment he tried to kill Yue Ling.
