The Unknown God of War

"Congratulations, Master Lu! The family has expanded yet again!"

"We're honored to witness this momentous occasion, Master Lu. Thank you for inviting us."

"I wonder who the bride might be? She's so lucky to have caught your attention!"

"Yes, Master Lu. Why don't you show us your new wife?"

The guests started joking with Lu Ba.

Lu Ba stretched out a palm and indicated the guests to sit down. He said slowly, "There's no rush. I've sent my son Hui to bring my wife back. I trust him not to be late. After all, my wife is from an influential family, and I don't think she knows the rules. Please forgive her."

Lu Ba poured himself a cup of tea from an exquisite antique teapot. Everyone could tell he was deliberately boasting.

"Which family is she from? Stop teasing us!"

"Yes, please tell us!"

The guests were incredibly curious about the identity of Lu Ba's new wife.

Lu Ba smiled and gently blew on his tea. "You should know who she is. She is Li Siqi, the only daughter of Li Hongtu," he said.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard that.

"Li Hongtu's daughter? Isn't she also the CEO of Hongtu Corporation and a billionaire? I've heard she's very capable and shrewd, but she's also cold and arrogant. You're amazing to be able to win her heart!"

"I can't believe that Li Hongtu would bow to you!"

"Of course. Li Hongtu might be an influential businessman, but he has to bow to Master Lu in the underworld!"

"The Sirius Society has ruled the criminal underworld for a hundred years. Who would dare to defy them?"

Lu Ba raised an eyebrow and said, "I believe you might be mistaken. I'm not a bandit or a thief, and I wouldn't force anyone to do anything against their will. Yenching's criminal underworld needs a leader, and I took on the position to maintain harmony among the citizens."

He was speaking as though he was a martyr and a saint.

The guests realized that they had misspoken. They quickly changed their tune and started flattering him. "Your selflessness is admirable, Master Lu!"

"Never has an individual been so honest and forthcoming!"

"Master Lu, you and Ms. Li are a match made in heaven!"

Lu Ba smiled and nodded. He couldn't wait for the arrival of his new bride.

At his age and status, no mere woman could pique his interest that easily. Only those from wealthy and influential families could whet his primal desires.

Those women were usually the objects of worship of normal people. What Lu Ba wanted was to violate and desecrate them. The mere thought of reducing a goddess to a tramp excited him.

A car horn sounded from the outside, diverting the guests' attention from Lu Ba.
