The Liu family head's face was already filled with extreme terror, his eyes brimming with resentment.
When he looked at Lin Xiaotian, it was as if he were staring at his father's killer.
"Lin Xiaotian, you know exactly what's going on with this matter. I can produce that pill you left me right now. I don't believe you'd be willing to part with such a precious medicine for us."
"Since everyone wants it, I'll immediately give this medicine to you all. Whoever is stronger will get it."
His eyes blazed with furious rage.
He had already guessed that the pill Lin Xiaotian gave him was most likely real.
However, to secure the pill, he had devised this plan, only to end up backfiring on himself.
Lin Xiaotian was far more cunning than he had imagined.
Comparing Lin Xiaotian to his own foolish son, he wished he could send his son back to the forge.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Patriarch Liu, didn't we agree before? One pill for you to consume, and the remaining one to be auctioned. I didn't intend to discuss this openly, but your actions have gone too far and crossed my bottom line."
"Since you're willing to give that pill to everyone, why not bring out the other one as well?"
"I can't confirm if this pill has already been consumed by someone in your family, but I believe everyone present can find a way to extract the truth from you."
Upon hearing this, the faces of those present instantly turned fervent.
Their gazes towards Patriarch Liu were filled with eagerness.
Patriarch Liu knew that Lin Xiaotian had seen through his plan to offload the hot potato.
Even if he handed over that pill, the others would still be after the second one.
His entire Liu family would not have a good end.
They would become pitiful pawns for others to exploit.
"Lin Xiaotian, our enmity isn't that deep. Why are you treating us like this?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even brighter.
"Old Liu, we're adults now, why speak such ridiculous words?"
"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own character?"
"You ask me why I'm dealing with you like this, why don't you think about what you've done?"
"If I don't deal with you now, you'll cause countless troubles behind my back. You should know your own character, instead of asking me."
As his words fell, he took a few steps back, then smilingly rubbed Ye Wantong's cheek, "Girl, how are you feeling now?"
Ye Wantong's face was already flushed with excitement, her charming demeanor like a perfectly ripe peach.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation, "I feel like I can take on ten people."
"Why don't you let me go? I also find the Liu family displeasing. I'll slap them each a few times right now."
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Fighting and killing are men's business. Such a beautiful young lady should stay behind honestly."
"Until I'm in trouble, you don't need to act. I don't have a habit of letting women fight for me."
"These guys will face misfortune, and it won't be me who deals with them, but the heroes present."
"If you have such good opportunities and don't seize them, are you waiting for others to act first?"
Hearing his words, the people present no longer held back. They surged forward without hesitation, pushing Lin Xiaotian to the very edge.
They had already witnessed Lin Xiaotian's strength and methods.
Even though they knew Lin Xiaotian was using them as a weapon,
They were willing to be that weapon.
Because the benefits of being that weapon were unparalleled, it could even allow them to leap from the Grandmaster realm to become even more formidable experts.
That kind of temptation was irresistible to them.
Lin Xiaotian's smile widened, "Now, we just need to watch the show."
"The Liu family wanted to use these people against me, but I'm simply turning the tables, using their own methods against them."
A complex emotion flashed in Ye Wantong's eyes, a mixture of admiration and affection, which she perfectly concealed in an instant.
Lin Xiaotian's smile remained unchanged, completely oblivious to her gaze. He only felt a gentle gaze beside him.
Meanwhile, the members of the Liu family had already been bound and thrown to the ground. Patriarch Liu, in particular, was held down firmly, unable to move an inch.
"I say, Patriarch Liu, shouldn't you hand over that medicine now, and also the second pill to us? How it's divided is our business. If you can't produce these two pills, then I'm sorry, you'll be in for a terrible time."
"This isn't our fault, it's your own doing."
"If this news hadn't spread, perhaps we wouldn't have known anything. But now that the word is out, we absolutely won't let the opportunity to become stronger slip away."
The speaker was an elderly man who held some status among these people. At least, when he acted, no one dared to interfere.
His strength had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Just one step away from soaring to greater heights.
However, his talent was limited, and no matter how hard he tried, he would likely never break through. He had been constantly seeking an opportunity for advancement, which was why he had rushed over without hesitation upon receiving the news.
Breaking through would allow him to live longer, perhaps even extend his lifespan by sixty years.
"I know everyone present wants to obtain that medicine. I hope you can all give me a chance."
"I, Bai Mei Zhenren, thank you all here. Consider this a favor I owe you."
Bai Mei Zhenren was the old man, his eyes glinting with sharp coldness.
If anyone dared to refuse at this moment, he would strike without mercy.
He had waited for this day for far too long.
Breaking through was a transformation of his life. Without it, he would only have a few years left to live. If he didn't take a gamble now, he wouldn't even have the chance to try.
