Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "What seems impossible in your eyes is just a trivial matter that can be easily accomplished by me."
"I already said, you're finished today."
"No one can save you."
The fear on Fifth Brother's face became more pronounced, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, his back hitting the wall.
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and his gaze sharply turned to the leader on the ground.
His expression turned ferocious, "You bastard, you betrayed me?"
"Did you bring him back?"
"Since you already knew how powerful he is, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If I had known this elder brother had such skills, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly. You were deliberately misleading me."
"And it was you who kept pestering me, urging me to continue dealing with this elder brother."
The leader's eyes widened, and he looked at his boss in disbelief.
He hadn't said anything; he had only asked an extra question earlier.
Just as he opened his mouth to defend himself, Fifth Brother's weapon was already aimed at his head.
"Bang!"
A loud noise erupted.
Before the leader could even react, he fell to the ground.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and unwillingness.
Fifth Brother quickly put the weapon back into the drawer, and his face shifted into a fawning, ingratiating smile.
Without any hesitation, he bent his knees and, with a bang, knelt before Lin Xiaotian.
"Elder Brother, everything that happened before was a misunderstanding."
"It was this bastard who deliberately misled me. I was already prepared to abandon this mission, but he insisted that we had to carry it out, or our reputation would be ruined. I was momentarily blinded by him."
"Please, Elder Brother, give me a chance. I will immediately find out who issued the mission behind this."
"We have no enmity, and having witnessed your power, Elder Brother, if you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost to assist you."
"For small fry like us, you can crush us with a single hand. Why would you need someone like us to do things?"
"For example, if something like what happened today occurs, you just need to give me a call, and I'll find out who did it. You won't even have to show up yourself; I'll take care of them."
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but smile, "You're quite a character!"
Fifth Brother hurriedly forced a smile, "You flatter me, Elder Brother. I just know how to read the situation. You are such a powerful martial artist, Elder Brother; just by revealing your aura, I feel compelled to submit and kowtow."
"With just one word from you, I will go through fire and water for you from now on."
"You are the god in my heart."
Lin Xiaotian's smile widened, and he pointed to the window, "Jump down from here!"
These old buildings had high ceilings. Even though it was only the second floor, it was still six or seven meters above the ground.
If an ordinary person jumped from here, they would at least break two legs, and jumping from that height was also a test of one's courage.
Fifth Brother's expression changed, and he looked troubled.
"Elder Brother, if I jump from here, I'll definitely become crippled. My subordinates won't respect me then."
"Only by leading my many brothers can I serve you better. If I become crippled, others will laugh at you for taking a cripple as your lackey."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "When did I ever say I wanted to take you as a lackey?"
"You're not even worthy of being my dog."
"Jump down now, and I'll consider this matter settled. Otherwise, I'll settle the score with you directly."
"I'll give you ten seconds to consider. Jump or not, it's up to you."
After speaking, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
Fifth Brother gritted his teeth, having made up his mind.
If he didn't jump, he might die a terrible death.
If he jumped, there was a glimmer of hope.
The person in front of him clearly wasn't reasoning with him and was intent on harming him.
If he continued to be stubborn, it wouldn't end well.
He took a deep breath, walked over, opened the window, and turned to say, "Elder Brother, since you've given the order, I will certainly not refuse."
"I said I would go through fire and water for you, Elder Brother."
"What's a mere window compared to that?"
Without further hesitation, he leaped out.
From a height of over six meters, he landed and broke one of his legs.
The fractured bone pierced his skin, causing him excruciating pain, and he couldn't help but scream.
He deliberately made his screams sound more pitiful, hoping to elicit some pity from Lin Xiaotian.
The next moment, he saw Lin Xiaotian jump down from the window as well, and then step on his face.
His screams abruptly stopped.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "It's already late at night, and you're shouting here, disturbing others' rest."
"It's very impolite behavior."
"Elder Brother, please spare me. I have already been punished. Please give me another chance, just to let me atone for my mistakes," Fifth Brother cried out in pain.
Lin Xiaotian raised his foot with a half-smile, "Alright, I'll give you a chance. Tell me who is behind this."
"It's Wu Yuxuan. He hired people to pay me. Look at this chat log between him and me. The person speaking to me wasn't him directly, but one of his subordinates."
"He gave me five million to take your life."
"I'm in this line of work, so I didn't think much of it and accepted the mission, and he gave me some detailed information."
Fifth Brother handed his phone to Lin Xiaotian, his heart filled with grief and indignation.
However, if he had known how powerful this person was, he would never have dared to get involved in such a matter.
After reading the information, Lin Xiaotian sneered, "They've really gone to great lengths. They've investigated so thoroughly. It seems the Five Ten Thousand Association truly wants to get their hands on the treasures I possess."
"But whether they can swallow it depends on whether they have the teeth for it."
Fifth Brother quickly said, "I can help you. That bastard Wu Yuxuan cheated us. I can have him captured right now."
"Whether you kill him or dismember him, it's all up to you, Elder Brother."
