Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 108: Devil’s Smile

"Uh, are you complimenting me, beautiful Liu Shiyu?" Lin Kuang asked, looking back at the Witch with a helpless expression.

"If you want to think of it that way, then fine, consider it a compliment," the Witch said grumpily. She was discovering that Lin Kuang was becoming more and more thick-skinned.

"Alright, Shilin, you don’t need to worry. Chu Zhongtian is no fool. Even if he wants to deal with me, he won’t do it now. Rest assured," Lin Kuang said with a reassuring smile.

Hearing this, Liu Shilin could only nod. After all, with her own level of Energy, contending with Chu Zhongtian was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Driving the car, Lin Kuang headed back to the Lin Family’s villa. But just as he was about to reach it, two black cars suddenly swerved in front of his vehicle, blocking his path.

Lin Kuang slammed on the brakes. A harsh screeching sound erupted as the tires left skid marks five or six meters long before the black Mercedes finally came to a halt.

Inside the car, Liu Shilin and the Witch were startled. "What’s going on? What’s happening?" the Witch asked quickly, her large eyes filled with confusion.

"It’s fine. I’ll go check it out. You two wait for me in the car," Lin Kuang said, turning to get out.

As he stepped out, six or seven men piled out of the two cars ahead. At the same time, a dozen more emerged from the sides of the road. In total, more than twenty men now blocked his path, some holding baseball bats, others brandishing switchblades. All of them sneered coldly at him.

"Who sent you?" Lin Kuang asked with a grin.

"Someone you can’t afford to mess with, kid. Just come with us quietly, or you’re going to suffer," the leader, a man in his thirties, said.

"Someone I can’t afford to mess with?" Shrugging, Lin Kuang asked with a puzzled look. "Did Chu Zhongtian send you? That doesn’t seem right. That guy’s no fool; he wouldn’t do this."

Even though it was his first time meeting Chu Zhongtian, Lin Kuang could tell he wasn’t a rash person. Therefore, he didn’t believe these men were sent by him.

"Heh, you don’t need to know who. I’ll say it again: come with us, or we’ll beat you down and drag you away," the leader repeated.

He clutched a baseball bat, leisurely approaching Lin Kuang. Behind him, the other twenty-or-so men followed, looking at Lin Kuang with disdain as if he were already theirs for the taking.

Just then, Lin Kuang pulled two Desert Eagles from behind his back, the dark muzzles aimed squarely at the leader.

"Tell me who sent you, or things will get very ugly for all of you," Lin Kuang said with a smile. His calm demeanor made all twenty-some men halt in their tracks.

Seeing the Desert Eagles and the dark muzzles pointed their way, the men couldn’t help but gulp, undisguised terror filling their eyes. These men were just toughs—a step above common street thugs. They had seen Desert Eagles before, but this was the first time they’d had one pointed at their own heads. If the man in front of them pulled the trigger, one of them would definitely die.

"You... you... you don’t scare us! We’re not easily frightened!" the leader blustered, his voice trembling as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Is that so?" Lin Kuang said with a smile. The next moment, he pulled the trigger.

BANG!

A gunshot rang out. A flash of light cut through the air, and the bullet struck the man directly in the calf.

"Ah!" The leader screamed, dropping to one knee and clutching his wounded leg with both hands.

"You can all think it over. If you don’t talk, the next bullet will pierce your heads. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to test my aim," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, his expression unnervingly calm.

Hearing this, the men all backed away, their faces stricken with panic. The fact that Lin Kuang dared to shoot so openly was terrifying enough. If he so much as shifted his aim toward their heads, the mere thought of the consequences sent a chill down their spines.

At that moment, the very air seemed to freeze. The men opposite Lin Kuang didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

"Alright, my patience is limited. Tell me, who sent you?" Seeing their reaction, Lin Kuang spoke again, his tone turning cold.

The leader swallowed nervously, his eyes wide with panic. Seeing this, Lin Kuang said nothing more. As if to prove his patience had run out, he simply pulled the trigger again.

BANG!

Another shot rang out. This one hit the leader in his other knee, forcing him to collapse completely to the ground.

Before the man could even scream, Lin Kuang aimed the muzzle at his head. "Speak, or not?"

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Don’t kill me! I’ll talk!" The man’s nerve had completely broken. He stared at Lin Kuang, his eyes filled with a terror so profound it seemed he was about to wet himself.

"Then make it quick," Lin Kuang repeated.

"Yes, yes! It was Liu Dong! He sent us! It was all Liu Dong! He told us to ambush you here!" the leader blurted out, his rushed words thick with panic and fear.

Lin Kuang frowned. "Liu Dong? Liu Dong again? The son of the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?"

Liu Dong’s men had come looking for trouble before, back at the karaoke bar, yet Lin Kuang was certain he’d never met the man. Clearly, this Liu Dong must be acting under someone’s orders. For someone to be giving orders to the son of a bureau director, they obviously weren’t afraid of the director himself. In other words, their status, or the power backing them, was greater than Liu Dong’s.

"Who does this Liu Dong usually hang out with? Or rather, who told him to do this?" Lin Kuang asked. "Don’t be in a hurry to answer. Think carefully. Otherwise... my Desert Eagles might just go off by accident."

As he spoke, Lin Kuang offered a slight smile that revealed two rows of pearly white teeth. To the thugs, however, it was the smile of a demon.

Staring at Lin Kuang’s smile, the leader didn’t dare hesitate for a second. "I... I’m not sure," he stammered, "but... but, Liu Dong often hangs out with Ye Tiannan. It seems like they’re very close."

Hearing the name Ye Tiannan, Lin Kuang’s eyes lit up slightly. So it was him. No wonder. No wonder Liu Dong came after me. It turns out that brat Ye Tiannan was the one behind it all!
