Chapter 159 - 116 Crush
"Oh, Fang Zhixing has returned?"
Upon hearing the rumor, Hall Master Lu Anfu of the Iron Casting Hall knew big things were about to unfold and immediately sought out Xu Dazhi.
The other two Incense Masters, ’Iron Claw’ Ye Hengchang and ’Inch Force’ Lv Peipei, rushed over one after another.
After all, Fang Zhixing was just a nominal Incense Master and not truly one of Iron Casting Hall’s own.
Their loyalties lay with Xu Dazhi.
But as soon as Xu Dazhi saw them, before they could say anything, he solemnly said,
"The three of you need not persuade me any further. Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back. Either Fang Zhixing or I must die today."
Lu Anfu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, rubbing his head in frustration, "That might be the case, but after all, Fang Zhixing is indeed a close confidant of the Lord County Magistrate."
Xu Dazhi frowned with displeasure, "Are you suggesting that only he can kill me, and I can’t kill him?"
Lu Anfu spread his hands and replied with a bitter smile, "Why so hasty? That’s not what I meant."
Lv Peipei quickly added, "What the Hall Master means to say is that we must give face to the Lord County Magistrate. Otherwise, what’s the point even if you kill Fang Zhixing?"
