Mofan did not answer right away. He was still in a fit of anger.
Mofan was not afraid that Lu Xin would not let him go, but Zhu Meng was right.
Mofan trusted Zhu Meng. If he said he would not forgive Lu Zhantian easily, Lu Zhantian would be crippled for the rest of his life.
"Lu Xin, I've already made myself clear. You should say something too. It's your Lu Clan's fault after all. You should know better than anyone what kind of people Lu Yilin and Lu Zhantian are. If you didn't provoke Mofan, nothing would have happened," Zhu Meng told Lu Xin.
Lu Xin was not willing to accept the outcome. Both of his sons had a bright future ahead of them. One was the young Head of the Beiyu Enforcement Union, while the other had joined the national team. The Lu Clan was on the verge of surpassing the Mu Clan and the Bai Clan, yet both of them had fallen into Mofan's hands.
As a matter of fact, Lu Xin was a little scared of the man. He was like a ticking time bomb!
Zhu Meng went up when he saw Lu Xin unwilling to speak. He asked for a private moment.
Lu Xin had a feeling that Zhu Meng was siding with Mofan. He was not willing to talk to him. He glared at Zhu Meng, as if he was going to explode at any second.
"Say, Lu Xin, we've known each other for a long time. Do you really want your Lu Clan to be destroyed in your hands? It's not like you don't know how many things Mo Fan has done. In terms of contributions, even us Councilmen are no match for him, so you should stop being so arrogant," Zhu Meng said.
"He's the one who's threatening me with my sons' lives!" Lu Xin snapped.
"You should be glad that he's willing to talk to you. Do you know how many people have died in Parthenon because they wrongly accused Xinxia? Do you think your Lu Clan is stronger than Parthenon?" Zhu Meng said softly.
"What Parthenon? What does it have to do with this kid?" Lu Xin was confused.
"To think I thought you were well-informed. You still know a thing or two about the secrets that have been sealed off. Who do you think is responsible for the incident at the Parthenon Temple? Do you think the Black Totem Snake showed up at the Parthenon Temple because he happened to be on vacation?" said Zhu Meng.
"This …" Lu Xin was a little stunned.
Zhu Meng did have the intention of targeting the Black Totem Snake in Hangzhou, but the plan was left unsettled. Lu Xin heard that it was all because of a young man, who had also resolved the plague in Hangzhou.
"Mofan saved the Black Totem Snake's life in the past. In order to repay him, the Black Totem Snake stirred up a bloody storm in Parthenon. That Blood Tribe member is an expert that Mo Fan has recruited in Parthenon. Luckily, he's the one that's involved this time. If you really hurt his father, Mo Fan would ask the Black Totem Snake to raze the entire Lu Clan to the ground, "said Zhu Meng.
"Is this kid really able to control the Black Totem Snake?" Lu Xin's eyes widened.
Lu Xin had heard about the incident in Parthenon, but the information was tightly sealed off. Not many people knew the details. Lu Xin never thought it was all because of Mofan.
Zhu Meng nodded.
The Black Totem Snake only obeyed two people. One was Tangyue, and the other was Mofan. If anyone dared to harm them, the Black Totem Snake would be infuriated. Not many Magicians in China could stand a chance against the Black Totem Snake.
"Besides, the Black Totem Snake might not be the scariest one. To be honest, you're playing with fire this time. If you force Mofan to reveal his other trump card, the Lu Clan will become a sinner," said Zhu Meng.
"What are you talking about? Don't tell me there's something scarier than the Black Totem Snake behind the kid's back?" Lu Xin was startled. His eyes were filled with doubt.
"I know you're doubting my words. You can ask the Chairman about it. Either way, it's already a relief that the situation has been resolved so quickly. Don't make it any worse," said Zhu Meng.
Lu Xin felt like Zhu Meng was trying to fool him. How could the kid possibly be so capable?
"It's the Chairman, are you going to answer it?" Zhu Meng handed his phone to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
Lu Xin did not speak. He listened to the Chairman. Shao Zheng did not say much, but Lu Xin's expression soon changed.
"Don't worry, Chairman, I won't tell anyone else about it," said Lu Xin.
After hanging up the call, Lu Xin glanced at Zhu Meng with a grateful look.
If Zhu Meng hadn't arrived in time to persuade Mofan and himself, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Lu Xin was not stupid enough to let his entire clan die with his two narrow-minded sons. He just did not want the Lu Clan to be humiliated by Mofan.
However, Lu Xin gave up on the idea after hearing the Chairman's words.
"Mofan, if you spare my son's life, I can promise you that the Lu Clan will not trouble you or your family," said Lu Xin to Mofan.
"Lu Yilin tried to kill me last time, but I ended up killing him. This time, Lu Zhantian tried to kill me too, yet you're willing to spare his life just by telling me that you won't trouble me or my family? How shameless is the Lu Clan, "said Mofan.
Lu Xin clenched his teeth. He let out a heavy sigh when he saw Zhu Meng shaking his head, "Mofan, it's my fault for not disciplining them properly. I'll make it up to them for what they've done to you. That's all I can do, but I hope you can spare my son's life considering that he didn't do anything to your father."
"Humph, if I could find a single scratch on my father, your son would be a dead man by now," said Mofan coldly.
Mofan signaled Bola to let Lu Zhantian go.
Bola let go of Lu Zhantian. Lu Zhantian collapsed to the ground. Even the servants of the Lu Clan could barely recognize him.
Lu Xin quickly ran over and thanked Mofan as he asked someone to help Lu Zhantian get treated.
"Lu Xin, he's abusing his authority as the Head of the Enforcement Union. I'll bring him to the Chairman once he's recovered. I hope you won't interfere with his punishment. You should know that the Chairman won't show any mercy. After all, what Lu Zhantian has done is just too disappointing," said Zhu Meng to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin already knew the situation was going to turn out badly, but he did not expect it to be this bad.
He could only blame himself for not being firm enough. He did not stop Lu Zhantian from using such a despicable method to get his revenge on Mofan. It was why the situation was so difficult to resolve.
Luckily, he managed to keep his life.
It was great that they were still alive. Lu Xin seriously thought both his sons were dead when he learned Mo Fan had defeated the Beiyu Mountain.
