“Such methods are vicious.” Kadir sounded displeased.
In her view, it was bad enough for a group of Martial Artists to bully ordinary people. Lin Xiu intended to use such methods against The other party as well, and she could not bear to watch.
“You don’t think I’m some kind of good person, do you?” Lin Xiu asked, feigning surprise.
“You…” Kadir fell silent.
“Let me tell you this: to put it nicely, I’m the Boss of a Gang. To put it bluntly, I’m a thug, a scoundrel, and a punk. Understand?”
“Whoever curses me, I knock out his teeth. Whoever hits me, I’ll find a way to kill him!”
Lin Xiu ignored Kadir’s ugly expression and turned to Hu Shanyue, scolding him, “What are you waiting for? Do I have to Make a move myself?!”
“Understood, boss.” Only then did Hu Shanyue react. He hurriedly took the dagger handed over by an underling behind him and, without the slightest hesitation, plunged it directly into the security guard’s thigh. The sharp dagger instantly pierced through flesh, leaving a transparent hole in his thigh!
Scarlet blood sprayed like a fountain, splattering Hu Shanyue’s face and making him look ferocious!
“Aaaah!!!” Because Hu Shanyue acted too quickly, the security guard had not even had time to react. It was only when he saw blood gushing from his thigh that he let out a miserable, pig-like scream.
Kadir watched with tightly knitted brows. Every Gang member except her, however, looked completely indifferent, as though this were nothing more than a trivial matter.
Lin Xiu, who had been a thug in both of his lives, was even less concerned.
As Hu Shanyue raised the dagger for a second strike, a deep voice came from the Gate:
“Stop!”
Lin Xiu looked up and saw a group of people in black suits entering. At the front was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. A sharp aura radiated from his entire body, and his gaze was as piercing as a torch!
“It’s you.”
“It’s you.”
The instant Lin Xiu’s and the other party’s gazes met, they spoke in unison.
Lin Xiu knew the man before him. After Shuiyun Jian’s people threw Lin Xiu’s Underlings out, he had brought people to seek revenge, only for this man to throw them out as well.
Lin Xiu still remembered that scene clearly. The man had merely waved his hand, yet he knocked Lin Xiu and dozens of his Underlings to the ground, leaving them no chance to retaliate.
At first, Lin Xiu had thought this was the might of a Martial Artist. After becoming a Martial Artist himself, however, he realized that the man’s Strength was far beyond that of a Level 1 Martial Artist!
The man glanced at the security guard lying on the ground and groaning in pain. Without saying anything else, he stepped forward and looked at Lin Xiu. “You’ve returned from Sin City?”
“What else?” Lin Xiu spread his hands and smiled.
The man frowned, then pointed at the security guard on the ground. “What is going on here? Young master Lin, don’t forget what sent you to Sin City last time.”
“Are you threatening me too?” Lin Xiu stood and walked over to the man. His voice was cold, and his gaze arrogant. “Say one more word, and I’ll smash your Shuiyun Jian.”
“If you don’t believe me, try it.”
“Lin Xiu, don’t be so ungrateful!”
“Smash it!” Lin Xiu did not waste another word of nonsense and directly ordered the gang members.
“Wait!” From the moment he entered, the middle-aged man sensed that everyone Lin Xiu had brought was a Level 1 Martial Artist. More than a hundred Level 1 Martial Artists—his own people were nowhere near enough to suppress them. He might have a chance only if he gathered every Martial Artist from the City Lord's Mansion.
“Lin Xiu, don’t act rashly.” The middle-aged man’s expression shifted as he urged, “I didn’t mean to threaten you. But there’s no need to start a conflict between the Night Watch Division and the City Lord's Mansion over such a minor matter.”
“The Night Watch Division?” A playful smile curled at the corner of Lin Xiu’s mouth. “What does this have to do with the Night Watch Division?”
“Lin Xiu, let’s not pretend to be ignorant when we both understand perfectly well. In all of Biluo City, who besides the Night Watch Division can produce more than a hundred Martial Artists?!” A trace of displeasure appeared on the man’s face.
“Have you forgotten my gang?” Lin Xiu took another step forward, leaving less than half a meter between himself and the man.
“What gang?” Lin Xiu had mentioned the gang’s name back then, but how could the man remember the name of a small group secretly formed by a bunch of students…
“Looks like you don’t remember.” Lin Xiu grinned and said with complete seriousness, “It’s fine. After today, you’ll remember it—and never forget it.”
After saying that, Lin Xiu lightly waved his hand, then calmly spoke: “Smash it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred Martial Artists released their auras at once. In an instant, intense murderous energy filled the entire First floor lobby of Shuiyun Jian!
“Lin Xiu, do you know what you’re doing?!” Seeing the gang members skillfully smashing up Shuiyun Jian, the middle-aged man’s expression darkened.
“I know. So what?” Lin Xiu nodded and asked in return.
“Lin Xiu, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you know the difference between a level 1 martial artist and a third-level martial artist?” The man took a step forward, his tone carrying an unmistakable sense of threat.
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from his body. A three-foot-long sword also appeared out of thin air behind him!
At this sight, Lin Xiu’s pupils contracted!
A Third-level martial artist—and his Awakened Item was an exceptionally powerful offensive sword!
“Make them stop, and I can pretend this never happened.” The middle-aged man’s expression remained calm, but the long sword behind him hummed.
Before Lin Xiu could speak, Kadir stepped in front of him, her twin wings unfolding in an instant.
“In my name, angel’s protection!”
As her voice fell, a faint golden shield enveloped Lin Xiu.
However, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically when he saw this!
“Lin Xiu, you colluded with the Divine Kingdom?!”
Lin Xiu did not answer. Instead, he looked at Kadir standing in front of him and asked suspiciously, “Hey, does this move of yours really work?”
Lin Xiu clearly remembered that the last time she used this move, it could not even withstand his Brick. Now, that fellow’s Awakened Item was obviously much stronger than his Brick.
Hearing Lin Xiu’s words, Kadir’s mouth twitched. She never wanted to recall that humiliating experience. Later, she analyzed it as well: there could not have been anything wrong with her Angel’s Protection. The problem had to lie with Lin Xiu—or with that strange, bizarre Awakened Item of his!
“Against a third-level martial artist, I should be able to hold out for three minutes.” Kadir turned her head toward Lin Xiu.
“Three minutes?” Lin Xiu still seemed unconvinced.
Hearing the doubt in his tone, Kadir felt that he was looking down on her. She puffed out her cheeks and said, “At any rate, longer than yours.”
