“You are my godfather, and that will never change,” Lu Feng said.
Wu Laohu stared at him, his eyes slowly turning bloodshot. He grabbed the wooden gun on the table, pointed it at Lu Feng's chest, and cursed, "You keep calling me godfather, but you've never really considered me your father, have you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have sold me out so readily!"
"Master Lu!" everyone exclaimed.
Lu Feng raised his hand to stop the crowd, and calmly looked at Wu Laohu, "Godfather, I betrayed you. If you have any anger, come at me. Kill me or torture me, I, Lu Feng, will not blink an eye. But these brothers are innocent. Please let them go!"
Everyone was moved to tears upon hearing this, "Master Lu..."
"What a touching drama of brotherhood."
Wu Laohu laughed in anger, "I've treated you well, haven't I? I adopted you when you were twelve."
If it weren't for me, you'd still be a rat in the gutter, bullied by everyone.
I will support your education, ensure you have enough to eat and drink, and let you live a life of luxury.
Of all my adopted sons, you are the one I value the most. I entrust you with important responsibilities and regard you as my right-hand man. Why don't I see you showing me any affection for me?
"You seem to pity these dogs, don't you? Do you really think I, your benefactor who gave you life, am less important than these lowly commoners?!"
"Godfather, our grudges have nothing to do with others. What I owe you, I will repay."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he knelt down in front of him, gripped the gun muzzle, and pressed it against his forehead. "Godfather, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Maybe I would have died in some remote corner long ago. You gave me this life. I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime."
I betrayed you, I am unforgivable, and you can take my life whenever you want.
But they're just trying to make a living; they have nothing to do with our grudges. Please, let them go.
Seeing his cooperative attitude, Wu Laohu agreed, "Alright, I can let them go." He looked at the men on the ground, "You lackeys, get out of here!"
The group hesitated and did not move.
Lu Feng glanced over and said, "Let's go."
The group then scrambled to their feet and stumbled away.
"You go too." Lu Feng looked at the pockmarked man at the door.
Ma Zi hesitated for a moment, then turned around.
Wu Laohu put down his gun, poured him a bowl of wine, and said, "We've been father and son. Before I send you on your way, drink this bowl of wine with me. After you finish this bowl, our father-son relationship will be severed!"
Lu Feng picked up the wine and raised it above his head. "Godfather, I am unfilial. I can only repay your kindness in the next life."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
Wu Laohu sneered, picked up the bowl, and said, "Taking your life will settle all debts of gratitude and grudges. There's no need to drag this into the next life."
Lu Feng placed the bowl on the table, and while Wu Laohu was drinking with his head tilted back, he grabbed the gun on the table and shot Wu Laohu in the chest without hesitation.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere.
The bowl in Wu Laohu's hand fell heavily to the table, spinning several times before stopping. He pressed one hand to his bleeding chest, and pointed a trembling finger at Lu Feng with the other, "You..."
Shocked, astonished, incredulous.
Once again, he was deceived by the kid's facade.
“Godfather.” Lu Feng gripped the gun tightly, pointed at him, and smiled warmly. “You’re right about one thing: I’ve never considered you my father. How could someone like you, who has done so many bad things, be worthy of being my father?”
You adopted me, provided me with food and clothing, and let me live a life of luxury, but in your heart, you never treated me as your son. I was just a gun that you could point at and use to shoot.
Over the past ten years or so, I've done so much for you; I've already paid back everything I owed you.
You have so much blood on your hands, I'm just seeking justice for those innocent people who died unjustly.
I didn't originally intend to take your life myself, but you delivered yourself to my doorstep, so don't blame me.
Heaven gave him a chance to live, but he didn't seize it and instead came to his death. So, he'll grant him that wish!
Wu Laohu's eyes were bloodshot, his face was swollen to a liver color, and he gritted his teeth, "You... bastard..."
“I don’t care what you think of me. Whether I betrayed you or killed you, I have a clear conscience.” Lu Feng pointed the gun at his head. “You can pay for your sins in the underworld.”
After he finished speaking, he fired the gun again.
The bullet pierced his head, and Wu Laohu could no longer make a sound. His eyes widened as he slammed straight to the ground.
With a loud bang, dust flew up.
He opened his mouth, a gurgling sound coming from his throat, and his bloodshot eyes filled with tears of regret.
If he had known it would end like this, he would never have come back to find Lu Feng.
