"Chen Boss!"
Lin Zhennan knelt down with a thud, his voice drawn out, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"Chen Boss, I know you have a hundred reasons to kill me, but I beg you, give me another chance, I don't want to die!"
"Please spare me, as long as you let me live, I'll do anything you want!"
"I'm willing to hand over Jiangnan, and all my brothers will follow you!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Lin Zhennan, is that all you've got? Do you think I care about your territory? And your brothers, do they even deserve to follow me?"
Lin Zhennan was momentarily speechless, but upon reflection, Chen Xiao's words were irrefutable.
Even the patriarch of the Araki clan, the national goddess of Japan, Araki Mikiko, called him master.
What were his meager possessions in the eyes of such a person?
Thinking of this, his face immediately turned ashen.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but he had no leverage.
It seemed only death awaited him.
However, at this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "Besides, when did I ever say I was going to kill you?"
"Chen Boss, is that true? You, you really won't kill me?"
Lin Zhennan was both shocked and overjoyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Of course it's true!"
Chen Xiao sneered coldly, "Because killing you would be too easy for you!"
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on Lin Zhennan's body, his face dripping with sweat as if he had just washed his hair.
Fear spread through his heart, leaving him feeling utterly chilled.
His eyes widened, and the desire to survive that had filled him moments ago vanished. Now, he only wished for death.
However, he ultimately lacked the courage to end his own life.
And Chen Xiao wouldn't give him the chance to commit suicide. With a punch, Lin Zhennan's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a water vat.
His mind was hazy, and his vision was blurry. He tried to rub his eyes, but suddenly realized that he had lost all sensation from his shoulders down.
Not only from his shoulders down, but also from his thighs down, he had lost all feeling.
Looking down, Lin Zhennan's face turned pale, and he let out a tragic cry.
"Ah!!!"
The reason for his piteous scream was that both his arms and legs had vanished.
Now, all that remained of him was his head and a torso, placed in a water vat, making him a human pig.
"You're awake!"
Just then, a voice reached him.
The voice was somewhat familiar. Lin Zhennan turned his head and recognized the speaker.
"Qi Tianhu, is that you? Did you do this to me?"
He asked resentfully.
"Lin Zhennan, you can't blame me for this. I'm just following Chen Boss's orders. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Who else could you have offended but Chen Boss? Is he someone you can afford to offend?"
Qi Tianhu said with a cold smile.
Hearing Chen Xiao's name, Lin Zhennan finally calmed down and remembered what had happened before, still feeling a lingering fear.
Although he was now a cripple, he had, after all, survived.
This gave him a sliver of relief, and he couldn't help but think that Chen Xiao was still too naive.
He could completely accept this outcome.
He subtly shifted his eyeballs, observing his surroundings, and realized he was in a speeding car.
Chen Xiao was not present. Besides him and Qi Tianhu, there was only the driver.
"Qi Tianhu, where are you taking me?"
"Jinling."
Upon hearing this answer, Lin Zhennan was overjoyed. "Are you taking me home?"
"Taking you home?"
Qi Tianhu burst into laughter. "Lin Zhennan, what dream are you having?"
"Chen Boss has ordered us to flatten your Lin family within a day!"
"So today, all the big shots from Jiangbei are mobilizing to strike at the heart of your territory, and with you as a hostage (pig), I believe flattening your Lin family won't be a problem!"
Qi Tianhu made a double entendre, indulging in a bit of dark humor.
Lin Zhennan's face turned black. This was the end of everything. He had been counting on his own little fortune.
Even though he had become a human pig, his fortune could at least allow him to live out his remaining years in peace.
But if the Lin family was destroyed, he would be completely finished.
Not to mention anything else, just his enemies, with a single spit each, could drown him.
"What, are you worried about your future?"
Qi Tianhu saw through Lin Zhennan's thoughts at a glance and smiled. "Don't worry, Chen Boss has already made arrangements. You won't die for at least a year and a half."
Hearing this, Lin Zhennan perked up his ears, eager to hear Chen Xiao's arrangements.
"Chen Boss has instructed that someone will be specifically assigned to ensure your safety. They won't let you die easily before you've suffered enough humiliation."
"They will parade you through Jinling every day, and they will hang a sign on your chest that reads: 'I am a running dog of the Japanese.'"
"What do you think? Chen Boss treats you not badly, right?"
Qi Tianhu asked mockingly.
Hearing this arrangement, Lin Zhennan's regret was so profound it turned his intestines green.
He regretted not being ruthless enough with himself. He should have shot himself the moment he knew the tide had turned...
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao was already seated in the first-class cabin of a flight to Sapporo.
He was always decisive in his actions. If he said he would sweep away the Japanese supernatural world, then he had to go immediately!
Sapporo is located in the Hokkaido region of Japan. It became the first stop of Chen Xiao's trip to Japan because Araki Mikiko's home is there.
The Beihai Shrine, where Araki Mikiko works, is also one of the five major shrines under the Emperor.
Chen Xiao planned to start by attacking this Beihai Shrine, and then eliminate the others one by one!
The journey was long, so Chen Xiao did not use his Yitian Sword, and besides, Araki Mikiko was not qualified to ride his Yitian Sword.
The first-class cabin was very quiet, with only a sparse scattering of passengers.
Chen Xiao closed his eyes to rest and gather his strength.
Just then, a deep male voice sounded in his ear.
"Sir, could I switch seats with you?"
Chen Xiao opened his eyes. Standing before him was a young man, completely wrapped up, wearing sunglasses and a mask.
Despite being so heavily covered, the sharp aura he exuded was still difficult to conceal.
"My seat is right over there,"
The young man pointed to a seat in front of him when Chen Xiao didn't respond.
"No."
Chen Xiao refused with a cold expression, as he had already recognized the person before him.
This person was named Li Yunji, a top-tier idol and "little fresh meat" in the country, skilled in singing, dancing, rap, and basketball.
He had so many female fans that they could circle the Earth several times over.
Chen Xiao had always had a bad impression of such "little fresh meat," who spent their days adorning themselves gaudily, possessing little skill yet acting arrogant and conceited.
They acted superior due to the adoration of their brainless fans, unaware that they themselves were merely tools for capital to accumulate wealth.
Li Yunji clearly hadn't expected Chen Xiao to refuse so curtly. He let out a cold snort and asked, "Friend, do you know who I am?"
