The leading man, after clearing the scene at the fastest possible speed, drove frantically towards a location in the suburbs.
It was a dance hall.
The old building and its decor were so dated that even people in their forties or fifties wouldn't go in.
Business was dismal, yet it had never closed.
The car screeched to a halt in front of the dance hall. The leader tumbled out, blood still flowing from a wound on his leg.
The men guarding the entrance, seeing his condition, rushed over and helped him up.
"What happened to you?"
"Quick, take me to see Big Brother!"
The few subordinates recognized him and, without hesitation, led him to an office on the second floor.
As the door was pushed open, they were met by a man in his thirties, with gloomy eyes and a pale complexion.
"What's going on?"
"Weren't you sent on a mission? How did you end up like this? Were the opponents that tough?"
"The information provided by the client was very clear. There were only two people in that villa. Can't you even handle a young man now?"
Hearing this, the leading man slumped to the floor, his voice choked with tears, "Fifth Brother, that place is a devil."
"All the brothers I brought with me were killed by him, and all of them died in a single move."
"That guy showed no mercy when he attacked. I could tell he had blood on his hands countless times, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to kill so cleanly and swiftly."
"Most importantly, that guy's strength is too great, so great that it crushes any will to resist."
"When I swung my saber, he caught it with just two fingers, and easily snapped the hundred-refined steel saber. He's not human."
Fifth Brother stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. "Could he be a powerful martial artist?"
"It seems our information was incorrect. This client has set us up."
"You go out first. I'll call him immediately. We must demand more payment, otherwise, this mission will be indefinitely postponed."
"At the same time, I need to question why they deliberately concealed the information."
Hearing this, the leading man immediately asked, "Fifth Brother, are we still going to continue with this mission?"
He already had a guess in his heart, knowing Fifth Brother's personality very well.
"Once we accept a mission, we never give up, unless the payment is insufficient. Even if he is a martial artist, we will not give up. No matter how powerful a martial artist is, how powerful can he be? Can he be stronger than modern weapons?"
Fifth Brother's eyes held a sharp glint as he took out his phone and dialed.
When the call was answered, Fifth Brother said coldly, "You want Lin Xiaotian dead, why did you give us false information?"
"Do you know that because of your false information, I lost five or six brothers today?"
"My brothers died miserably. They are all looking at me with their eyes wide open, asking me why I led them to their deaths."
His cold words sent a chill down one's spine.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before a man's voice came through.
"I apologize. We didn't know his strength was so great. We were too hasty before. However, precisely because that guy attacked our young master, we wanted him dead."
"I know your rules. Speak, how much more money do you need?"
"The lives of five or six brothers, at least ten million."
"An additional twenty million for a more powerful expert to carry out the action, otherwise, I will directly assign this mission to you. I will also count the lives of those five or six brothers against you. Transfer the money immediately!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
He was confident that the other party would quickly send the payment.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt someone's gaze on him.
He instinctively turned his eyes and immediately saw a figure standing at the doorway.
His pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately placed his hand inside the drawer. "It's you!"
Lin Xiaotian walked into the office with a smile, and with a kick, he closed the door. "I already had him convey the message to you, but you still want to continue targeting me? Then don't blame me."
"Now I can tell you clearly, you are finished!"
Upon hearing this, Fifth Brother didn't hesitate. He pulled out a weapon from the drawer, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"Kid, I was just thinking about how to find trouble with you, but you've come right to my doorstep. It's truly a case of searching high and low for something and finding it without effort."
"Since you've delivered yourself, I'll find someone to deal with you later."
"You're quite bold. I'm just a bit puzzled, why didn't my brothers stop you?"
He had already received the information and seen a photo of the person before, so he recognized him at a glance.
And his confusion was genuine.
Although this place looked like an old dance hall, it was already filled with his men. It was essentially his stronghold.
Yet, someone had silently arrived at his office door without his subordinates noticing. This was quite strange.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Your subordinates are indeed sharp. They started to obstruct me as soon as I entered, but they didn't even get a chance to speak in front of me."
"I couldn't be bothered to waste words with them, so I knocked them all out."
"They're probably still dreaming of Zhou Gong right now!"
Hearing this, Fifth Brother's pupils contracted slightly. To knock out so many of his subordinates silently, this person must be a powerful expert. A hint of trepidation began to creep into his heart.
His subordinates had never experienced the might of a martial artist, but he was very clear that some martial artists were truly like gods.
A sharp killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth. "Since you want to die, I'll grant you your wish."
With that, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang!"
Several loud bangs echoed.
Lin Xiaotian didn't dodge. His arm seemed to turn into a blur in front of him.
When the sounds stopped, he slowly opened his palm.
In his palm lay a few golden bullets.
"Is it the 'fire-burning stick' in your hand that gives you confidence?"
Seeing this, Fifth Brother's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes were filled with terror. "How is this possible?"
