Chapter 816 - Busy getting distracted

Red Moon was struck by total silence as no one dares to breathe. Each person, including Tao Meng, was kept wide and stare in disbelief at the four men.

'Lu Tian and... collect your fate.'

It was like someone had pushed the repeat button, and words continuously repeat in each person's head without stopping.

Some had eyes on the verge of popping out from it's sockets, while others' jaw hung low. Tao Meng's hand slightly trembles with his eyes. The cigar he had yet to finish falls onto the ground and hits his feet. However, due to the shock he is in, he couldn't feel the pain.

"No... this can't be happening..."

He stares at Xu Long, and without a doubt, he recognized the man's face. No one in the underworld can forget the face of the cold and ruthless Lu Tian's assistant.

Does this mean Yue ling is really Lu Tian's woman?

He thought the rumors were only a little scandal as there was always talk about those in prominent families being in a relationship.

His Adam's apple bob with difficulty before his trembling eyes shift to the other three men. He can't recall Lin Hui and Qi Li's faces, but he clearly remembers Liu Shan.

'Mad Reaper.'

However, given that Lin Hui and Qi Li were the ones to utter the words from Fate with Liu Shan, he can now believe that they are also members of Fate.

As these thoughts ran a chill inside him, his eyes widen at the realization of something.

Han Yue Ling and Mami are the same person.

How could he be so stupid? Mad Reaper was there that night when he ran into Yue Ling. It wasn't by chance that they were there together, as Mad Reaper can be considered Mami's right-hand man.

And those words...

'Collect your fate.'

The only words that can shake the hearts of the underworld. Not just anyone can say it and make one's entire being tremble in fear.

He even practiced it once, but hearing someone from Fate say it directly is another thing compared to how he used those words.

'F.U.C.K! He really got ahead of himself this time!'

If he never had an interest in Yue Ling, he wouldn't be in this mess with the two devils of Imperial.

"What?!"

Before Tao Meng's thoughts could continue any further, a man's voice echoes loudly inside the room. He and his men came to their senses and turned their heads to the person.

To their surprise and confusion, it was none other than Xu Long.

Xu Long held a disbelief look as he was now turned to the three men he considers his friends.

"What was that just now?"

He looks at each person, one by one. However, instead of responding with words, all he saw was Qi Li fixing his glasses, Liu Shan looking elsewhere, and Lin Hui scratching his head.

All three men looked like they have no idea what Xu Long was talking about at all.

This scene arose a wave of unexplainable anger and irritation inside Xu Long. His nostrils flare, and his breathing turned rapid.

"How could you three do this to me? I thought we were friends?"

His eyes turn vicious, and he glares at the three men.

"Collect your fate?"

He scoffs the words in a mocking tone, and his breathing grew heavier but received no response yet again.

When Tao Meng saw this, the fear that was slowly creeping inside him drops back down. Listening to Xu Long's words and observing the man's expression, he can only guess that this group has been keeping secrets.

From the looks of it, Han Yue Ling may be Lu Tian's woman, but he (Lu Tian) must have no idea that the woman at his side is the notorious Mami, leader of Fate. What kind of shocking news will this for the world?

He straights his posture, and a sneer curls on his face as he confidently walks towards the four men.

"Well, well, well... Would you look at this?"

If he can convince Xu long to come to his side, he will not have to be afraid of Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Qi Li.

Yes, the three men are from Fate, but from what he recalls, Xu long is a strong opponent, despite his appearance. He (Xu long) is Lu Tian's assistant for a reason.

He stops about five feet away from the angry assistant and smiles. However, one can see the maliciousness within his eyes.

"It's seems like you and your boss have been deceived by Fate."

"Indeed."

Xu Long ignores Tao Meng's existence but still answers the question agreeing in a low growl. He inhales a deep breath and places his palms on his h.i.p.s.

"How can you three exclude me in such an important and awesome act?"

"..."

Tao Meng was beyond dumbfounded by Xu Long's words. His mouth hung open like he wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Unlike the enemy, Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Qi Li rolled their eyes. How is it possible that they already saw this coming?

Lin Hui heaves a long sigh and rubs his forehead before speaking.

"Bro, is this really the time to question us? Are you perhaps forgetting where we are?"

Xu Long snorts at Lin Hui and folds his arms over his chest. The anger on his face did no ease but seemed to intensify.

"I don't care where we are. The only thing I care about is that...."

He points with three fingers spread so that each finger can be pointed directly at one person.

"YOU three didn't include me in your awesome act."

Thinking back to how they answered 'collect your fate' in such a cool way, jealousy stir inside his heart. If he knew they were going to each say one word, he would have said something cool too.

Liu Shan didn't understand why Xu Long was acting like a child throwing a tantrum. He runs his hand through his hair with the other hand on his hip.

"Look, we didn't rehearse this, okay. It just happened the way it did."

He walks up to Xu Long and places a hand on the assistant's shoulder.

"Next time, we'll definitely include you. That's a promise."

Tao Meng and his men were at a loss for all words. They are clearly in Red Moon, but why does it feel like they are watching a live show at a movie theater?

Annoyed that they are disregarding him (Tao Meng) in his own territory, he storms over with insignificant strides. No looks down on him, especially in front of his men.

"Bastards! Who gave you all the courage to look down on me?!"

"Boss, let us kill them!"

"Lu Tian or Fate, who cares! These sc.u.mbags dare to enter our turf and act like they own the place!"

The second Tao Meng stood his ground, so did his men. Each person didn't hesitate to grab the closest weapon they can get their hands on.

"Get them, brothers! Show them the strength of Red Moon!"

Hearing the sudden loud commotion, Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Qi Li glance across the room, while Xu long casually turns around to look in the same direction.

Despite seeing the enemy make a move while they were having a quick family meeting, all four men remained poised.

Usually, when one is in the presence of a group of armed men and outnumbered, they would scream and scurry away for their life.

However, that isn't what happens.

A side smirk curls on Liu Shan, Xu long, Lin Hui, and Qi Li's face.

Liu Shan tilts his head a little to the side and looks at Tao Meng. He could see the confidence in the man's face, and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.

"Are sure you want to go this route?"

His question caught Tao Meng's attention. He looks at Liu Shan and scoffs a sneer. So what if Liu Shan is the fearsome Mad Reaper. It's been years since he (Liu Shan) showed his face in the underground fights, his skills probably deteriorated.

"Don't worry. I'll have my men go easy on you."

He howls a sinister laugh that usually makes his enemy cower in fear. However, Liu Shan rolled his eyes once and multiple times inside.

Liu Shan stretches one arm towards the enemy leader and leisurely moves his pointer finger side to side.

"See, that's where you're wrong."

His body turns to the man, and the smile on his face widens.

"While you and your men were busy getting distracted by our perfect acting, we made our

move before any of you could."

*CRASH--!!!

The second his words fell, all the windows in the room shattered with force. Dark figures jump through and enter Red Moon like shadows in the night.

Following this came the sound of multiple footsteps as all the doors leading to the room burst open.

The sound of guns at full c.o.c.k echoes throughout the room as these figures surround Tao Meng and his men.
