Chapter 719 I Want You to Submit to Me
Qiangwei raised her head slightly, a look of doubt and expectation in her eyes, and asked softly, "Mr. Lu, you said you could help us, but how exactly would you do it?"
Lu Feng smiled slightly, folded his hands in front of him, and said slowly: "That depends on how you want me to help you."
"The simplest help is for me to use my power to help you out of danger and get you out safely."
"Of course, I can also help you choose a secret place as your new base camp. I can even help you get rid of the Black Crow, but the specifics depend on your choice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the killers around showed expressions of surprise and joy, as if they saw the dawn of light in the darkness.
The nerves that had been tense seemed to show signs of relaxation. Some people couldn't help but whisper to each other, their eyes full of longing and expectation for the future.
However, Qiangwei still looked solemn, and she was not happy at all because of Lu Feng's words.
Because everything in the world is interconnected, Lu Feng was able to help them escape from danger out of consideration for Leng Yu and Leng Xue. As for helping them find a new secret base or helping them deal with the Black Crow Organization, it would definitely cost them a huge price.
But even though she knew that the last two Lu Feng mentioned were baits, she took a deep breath and still took the initiative to speak. After all, either of these two temptations would be of great help to the Blood Rose.
"Mr. Lu, what are your conditions?"
Lu Feng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "I need the Blood Rose to become my power. In exchange, I will protect you."
As Lu Feng finished speaking, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. The entire room was shrouded in an almost frozen silence.
Everyone seemed to have stopped breathing, and only the invisible tense atmosphere spread rapidly in the air.
Qiangwei only felt a strong tremor in her heart, like a surging tide surging wildly in her heart.
She could never have imagined that the conditions Lu Feng put forward would be so harsh and so impactful.
The bloody rose was the fruit of her labor that she had been guarding with her life since she took over. It carried the glory and faith of countless ancestors and had weathered many storms in the dark world, but it had always stood firm.
It is not just a killer organization, but also a spiritual symbol and a heritage that runs deep in the bones.
Now, Lu Feng wants to bring it under his control. How can Qiangwei easily accept this?
This means that she will personally rewrite the history of the Scarlet Rose and hand the fate of the organization over to others. She may become the sinner who destroys a century-old heritage. This heavy responsibility and inner struggle almost overwhelm her.
Leng Yu and Leng Xue's hearts sank when they heard Lu Feng's words. Although they had known that Lu Feng had this plan for a long time, when they really said this, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The two men's worried gazes quickly shuttled between Qiangwei's stern face and Lu Feng's calm yet unquestionable expression.
Leng Yu's lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something to break the suffocating deadlock, but Leng Xue was quick-witted and secretly grabbed her arm tightly.
Leng Xue knew very well that the current situation was like walking on a tightrope. If she took a wrong step, she would be doomed.
Any impulsive words could become the fuse that triggers a greater crisis, so she could only use her eyes to signal Leng Yu to stay calm and not act rashly.
Qiangwei tried hard to calm herself down, her face still maintaining that cold and distant expression, but her slightly trembling fingertips revealed the turmoil in her heart.
She took a deep breath and said in a calm, almost indifferent voice, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry I can't comply with your conditions. The Scarlet Rose has traveled through the long river of history for centuries, and every generation of leaders has shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting its independence and inheritance. I am no exception."
"I can't just sit there and watch it lose itself in my hands and become someone else's appendage."
Lu Feng seemed to have foreseen Qiangwei's rejection. There was no surprise or anger on his face. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a deep insight in his eyes.
Then he spoke slowly, "Chief Qiangwei, I understand your concerns. But you and I both know that this is a dark world where the strong prey on the weak. Your current situation is like a candle in the wind and rain, shaky and collapsing."
"The Black Crow Organization is backed by the Neon Royal Family. You should know better than me how powerful their power is and how ruthless their methods are."
"Even if you manage to escape this pursuit, with your current strength, seeking revenge is nothing short of a fantasy."
"Do you intend to let the sisters of Scarlet Rose suffer this disaster in vain? Do you intend to let those lost lives forever bear the brunt of their injustice?"
Rose's lips were pressed tightly into a straight line, and she fell into deep silence.
The once glorious Blood Rose involuntarily emerged in her mind. At that time, the organization was full of experts and its reputation spread far and wide, making all forces wary of it.
But now, after suffering heavy losses from the Black Crow Organization, the casualties were heavy, the organizational structure was almost paralyzed, and its strength was no longer as strong as before.
Facing such a powerful Black Crow, it is indeed difficult to compete with it with one's own strength alone, and revenge is an unattainable luxury.
The killers around also lowered their heads, their faces filled with bitterness and helplessness.
They thought of their comrades who died in the battle and the days when they fought side by side, and their hearts were filled with sorrow.
At this moment, faced with the conditions proposed by Lu Feng and the difficulties faced by the organization, they felt unprecedented confusion and helplessness.
A depressing and heavy atmosphere filled every corner of the room like thick fog, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Qiangwei lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time. The silence in the room seemed to freeze time.
Finally, she slowly raised her head, a look of determination in her eyes. Her voice, though soft, was incredibly firm: "Mr. Lu, I'm very grateful for your help, but the glory of the Scarlet Rose is above all else. I cannot go against the legacy of my ancestors because of a temporary predicament. I'm sorry I can't obey your order."
Lu Feng shook his head slightly, a look of regret on his face, and said, "I thought you would make a wiser choice, but I respect your decision."
"I'll give you some time to think it over. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Don't worry, even if you reject my proposal, I will still rescue you for Leng Xue and Leng Yu's sake. You will just have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
"The Black Crow Organization will not let you go easily, and you can imagine the difficulties and obstacles in the future. I hope you can understand that sometimes, appropriate compromise is not weakness, but for longer-term persistence." After speaking, Lu Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, lit a cigarette and walked out.
However, when he was about to walk out, he winked at Leng Xue. The latter naturally knew what he meant and nodded slightly.
