The Jackal’s face was like a bloodied mask, using all his strength to shout a few words, "What are you all looking at? Attack together, kill him for me!"

After that, the remaining thugs exchanged glances. Then they charged with various weapons. The smile on Xiao Tian’s face became even more pronounced.

Xiao Tian looked at the group of thugs rushing forward. They were already leaderless, and just now Xiao Tian had noticed that his fierce moves had already intimidated all these underlings, so each of them hesitated before charging.

Leaderless dragons, defeat them one by one!

Besides, for Xiao Tian, this group of thugs was just an appetizer.

At this moment, a crowd swarmed in, their sticks, swords, and knives gleaming coldly. Just as they were about to rush in, Xiao Tian moved first. He pulled out a dagger and rushed into the crowd like a shadow.

Once inside the crowd, Xiao Tian moved like lightning, weaving through the throng. He was so fast that many thugs thought they hit Xiao Tian, only to realize it was just an illusion!

Xiao Tian’s dagger swung cutting left and right, sending a fierce blade wind. He kept it simple, just slicing each person in the leg.

Not too deep, not too shallow, but it was enough to make the thugs scream in pain. Eventually, more than twenty thugs fell like dominoes, one after the other.

"Damn... pinch me, am I dreaming?" Seeing Xiao Tian deal with so many people at once, the residents who had mocked him before were wide-eyed in disbelief.

After all, everything that happened was utterly unbelievable.

This... is too exaggerated, right? Is this guy human or ghost?

"You... you!!"

The Jackal looked at the toppled underlings around him, his face turning purple with indignation, "How dare you offend our Wolf Hunting Gang? I..."

Seeing the Jackal still unwilling to give up, Xiao Tian couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him. He directly said in a cold voice,

"Leave, or die!"

If you don’t want to die, then get lost!

Xiao Tian’s voice wasn’t loud, but it reached everyone’s ears.

"I’ll... I’ll let you have this one!"

The Jackal wasn’t a fool; he understood the wisdom in the saying ’revenge is never too late.’ Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, he limped away with a few others, bound by the belief in fleeing when outclassed.

After dealing with this group of thugs, Xiao Tian completely ignored the shocked expressions of the surrounding residents. He smiled slightly, intending to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the blonde beauty behind him ran over in a few steps.

"Wow, you’re amazing!"

The blonde beauty hugged Xiao Tian’s arm, pressing her ample chest against it. The pleasant sensation followed, leaving Xiao Tian wondering if she was doing it on purpose.

The blonde beauty instantly changed her expression to one of pitiful innocence, "Being a lone girl is so dangerous... can I follow you?"

Xiao Tian sneered inwardly. He said, "Let’s see how long you can keep up the act!"

Xiao Tian hesitated on the surface, then nodded after a moment, "Alright then."

"Oh yeah! My name is Melinda, and you?"

"Xiao Tian."

The woman named Melinda gave an enchanting smile, her expression carrying a hint of mystery.

Melinda was actually a top expert ranked 22nd on the Dark List. Codenamed "Divine Hand," capable of Object Control Attack. This time, Melinda’s purpose was to find an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Tian.

Now it seemed that everything was proceeding according to Melinda’s plan....

"I want to gather some information. Where should I go?" Walking down the road, Xiao Tian suddenly asked.

Melinda thought for a moment, then said, "Chel’s Tavern. It’s full of scoundrels who know a lot... but, you’ll have to pay."

Xiao Tian nodded thoughtfully. Then he and Melinda headed to Cher’s Bar.

----

Halam Town, Cher’s Bar. The lights flashed, and inside played old records from the nineties. A group of local girls were dressed scantily, dancing to the music.

Cher’s Bar, as the only bar in town. Naturally, it was very lively, with gamblers, drinkers, fighters, and all sorts of people mingling together.

Xiao Tian walked into the bar. His gaze scanned the room, looking to see if anyone knew the information he wanted.

At this moment, Xiao Tian’s eyes noticed an old man in a cowboy hat sitting in the corner. The old man sat there, smoking a cheap cigar, lost in thought.

Xiao Tian walked over in a few steps, sat next to the old man, and politely asked in fluent English, "Honorable sir, regarding the nearby Primitive Forest, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Primitive Forest?" As soon as Xiao Tian spoke, the nearby youths paled, turning their eyes to him, "Why are you asking about that godforsaken place?"

"That place will eat you alive, are you tired of living?"

Hearing Xiao Tian mention the Primitive Forest, several young people quickly backed away. Clearly, they were very afraid of the Primitive Forest.

After many people left, the old man remained silent. At this moment, Xiao Tian smiled faintly and called the waiter, "Two ice beers, sausages, and a good cigar, please."

"Yes, sir."

Afterward, the waiter served what Xiao Tian ordered. Xiao Tian placed the beer and cigar in front of the old man and raised his glass, "Mind having a drink with this foreigner?"

Then Xiao Tian downed his drink in one go. The old man, after a moment, looked at his nearly gone cigar, finally took the cigar Xiao Tian bought and had a sip of beer, and slowly said, "Follow the dry riverbed north of the town, there’s a fork leading deeper. If you’re not afraid to die, you can try it."

Afterward, the old man continued drinking and smoking silently under the dim lights.

On Melinda’s side, her curvaceous figure and beautiful face naturally attracted a lot of attention when she entered the bar with Xiao Tian. The heaving waves of her chest made every man who saw her tempted.

"Hey, beautiful, fancy a drink?" A few muscle-bound men who frequented the bar came over to flirt.

Melinda looked troubled but then saw Xiao Tian walking over. With a mischievous smile, she quickly darted to Xiao Tian, grabbed his arm, and said, "Sorry, I’m with him!"

"What?" Instantly, many eyes looked at Xiao Tian with envy and jealousy.

"A Huaxia person?" One of the muscle-bound men, seeing Xiao Tian, couldn’t help but sneer.
