I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
PATTER!
With a crisp sound, the cell phone in Xia Luoqing's hands slipped and fell to the ground.
He had finished listening to the call, and, although only a single line had been said over the phone, he couldn't think of a single response. His face had gone ghostly white as all the color had drained from his face. He had been overcome by fear.
There'd been only one line that had been conveyed in the phone call: "The Xia family has fallen. Run for your life, as quickly as you can!"
Xia Luoqing was very familiar with this cell phone number: it belonged to his father. This had been the first time he'd ever heard his father's voice filled with such trepidation. It had been an utterly unbelievable experience.
The two men in suits who worked for the Xia family raised their heads toward Xu Que at nearly the same time. They were struck with both fear and astonishment.
