Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Slap Comes So Quickly!

Lu Xiao just stared at her departing figure, his entire body tensed up.

Her last statement was indeed—

The next second, Lu Xiao clenched his fists, gripped the military knife tightly in one hand, and charged forward!

As soon as he arrived on the fifth floor, Lu Xiao smelled that permeating odor in the air… the scent of blood and rot.

Although it wasn’t very strong, and was even mixed with other fragrances, based on his experience, he directly concluded that there must be something fishy about the fifth floor.

Especially since these people were so cautious, there must be secrets here not meant to be seen!

Lu Xiao walked over to the hallway window, his gaze landing on the balcony outside that lacked a safety net…!

＊＊

The dirty concrete was littered with empty beer cans, cigarette butts everywhere, a green plastic trash can had its contents overflowing, and a mineral water bottle held an orange-yellow liquid; a worn leather sofa had been burned through in several spots by cigarette butts.

The dim light was on, seven or eight men were gathered around a table playing poker, some shirtless, some tattooed, all of them cursing and yelling with cigarettes dangling from their mouths, the room thick with smoke and haze.

Along the edges of the concrete floor were several cages, inside which two live golden monkeys were imprisoned, barely clinging to life, their paws stained with blood.

In a nearby large black plastic bag, something was concealed, with traces of blood seeping out.

“Damn it, I lost again. I’m not playing anymore, it’s so damn annoying!”

A bald man tossed his cards away, cursing loudly. When he turned and saw the monkeys in the cage, he suddenly kicked it, and the cage, along with the small monkeys inside, slammed against the wall, emitting pitiful screams.

A blond man sneered, “Looks like those two downstairs got you all riled up. Wanting a woman now, aren’t you?”

At that remark, the bald man started to bluster, “Those two really know where to pick a spot to get it on, right in the hallway.”

He spat on the ground and cursed, “Damn it, if it weren’t for the fact that the heat’s on us now, I would also find a woman to screw around with, try it out in that hallway, see what it feels like!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Ha ha, that woman looked like she was up for it. Why don’t you ask that guy to lend her to you!”

The others egged him on.

“Not gonna lie, she looked pretty, even though I didn’t get a clear look.”

“What if we really drag her in for some fun!?”

Someone made the suggestion.

The others exchanged glances, seemingly seized by a sudden desire, with a lewd and sinister gleam in their eyes.

However, just then, a buzz-cut man who had been silent all along narrowed his eyes and sneered, “At such a sensitive time with strangers appearing near us, are you guys really letting your guard down?”

With those words, everyone fell silent for a moment.

He seemed to be somewhat of an authority figure there. The bald man, hearing this, chuckled and said, “Brother Wu! How could that be? They’re just here for some action. You can tell they’re up to no good just by looking at them. If you don’t believe me, just wait, I’ll bring those two in right now—!”

He got up as he spoke and headed toward the living room door.

But, just as he was walking over, suddenly—

“Bang—!”

The glass of the balcony facing them was shattered by someone bursting through, with glass shards flying all over, a dark shadow leapt in from the outside—!
