Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 189: The Situation is Settled

Flames surged toward the sky, engulfing the mouth of the escape slide and creating an extremely dangerous situation.

At that moment, a figure burst out from the fire and landed swiftly on the ground.

This person was none other than Lin Kuang!

His face was pale. The impact from the grenade blast had been significant. Even with True Qi protecting him, his body had been severely shaken, leaving him with minor injuries.

Of course, this was far better than the grenade exploding inside the slide tunnel. An explosion of that magnitude would have blown him half to death.

All things considered, his situation was still quite good.

At this moment, Zhou Ertao was just over a hundred meters away. Without a doubt, he was the one who had thrown the grenade. He had assumed the blast would kill Lin Kuang, so he was shocked to see the man emerge from the tunnel alive. A sense of helplessness rose in his heart, but regardless, he was not going to be captured without a fight.

With that thought, Zhou Ertao found an alley and ran for his life.

Having composed himself, Lin Kuang naturally spotted the frantically fleeing Zhou Ertao.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but sneer. If this guy had run and hidden earlier, it might have taken some effort to find him.

But his biggest mistake was trying to blow Lin Kuang up, which cost him precious time.

Lin Kuang pushed off with his feet, shooting forward like an arrow in hot pursuit.

Although Zhou Ertao was running for his life, his speed was no match for Lin Kuang’s.

In just a few minutes, Lin Kuang had closed the distance to less than ten meters.

"Zhou Ertao, you can’t escape," Lin Kuang said with a cold laugh, watching the man’s pathetic, retreating back.

Hearing this, Zhou Ertao ignored him, keeping his head down as he continued to run.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang shook his head. Since it’s come to this, I won’t be polite anymore.

As the thought crossed his mind, Lin Kuang’s speed exploded, and he instantly appeared behind Zhou Ertao.

Simultaneously, Lin Kuang’s right hand shot out and grabbed Zhou Ertao’s collar.

The next moment, Lin Kuang stopped short, planting his feet and yanking his right arm back with immense force.

Zhou Ertao’s clothes were surprisingly sturdy and didn’t tear under the powerful strain.

However, Zhou Ertao was out of luck.

He was already running at top speed, and Lin Kuang’s powerful tug sent him flying backward.

He felt as if he’d lost his connection to Earth’s gravity as his body slammed hard onto the ground. The sensation was excruciating.

The frustration was enough to make him want to vomit blood—and then he actually did.

Lin Kuang stomped a foot down hard on his chest.

The intense pain sent Zhou Ertao’s entire body into a spasm. He opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

"I told you not to run, but you wouldn’t listen. Well, you can’t blame me for this," Lin Kuang said coolly.

Fear filled Zhou Ertao’s eyes, but it was overshadowed by a venomous resentment.

If Lin Kuang hadn’t been there, he could have held out for reinforcements. Once they arrived, the crisis facing Leopard Hall would have been resolved, and the Eagle Sect would have been annihilated!

But Lin Kuang had ruined everything. This knowledge fueled his fear, turning it into a deep, venomous resentment.

"Staring at me is useless. Let’s go."

With that, Lin Kuang hauled Zhou Ertao to his feet and knocked him unconscious with a karate chop. Then, carrying him with one hand from their location at a small back entrance, he hurried toward the main entrance of Hua Guang Tower.

Before long, Lin Kuang returned to the main entrance of Hua Guang Tower with Zhou Ertao in tow.

Zhang Lianmei, Guo Delun, and the others were all waiting for him. Seeing him return, they finally let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Lin Kuang, you’re back," Zhang Lianmei said with a smile.

"Right, let’s go. This guy is yours to handle," Lin Kuang said, tossing Zhou Ertao to Guo Delun.

Guo Delun nodded happily, catching Zhou Ertao and then handing him off to the men behind him.

Lin Kuang got in the car and drove Zhang Lianmei back to the Eagle Sect’s headquarters, also known as the Eagle Corporation.

Only after Lin Kuang and everyone else had left did the police finally, and deliberately, arrive. They surrounded Hua Guang Tower and began cleaning up the scene.

Truthfully, Hu Run wouldn’t have dared to do this on his own, but the incident was connected to Chu Zhongtian.

Since Chu Zhongtian was in East Sea to "gild" his resume, he would never allow such a scandal to be exposed. The damage to his reputation would be immense.

Forget "gilding" his resume; he might not even keep his position as the City’s Party Secretary.

It was precisely for this reason that Hu Run dared to be so brazenly late. Otherwise, how could he have summoned the courage?

By this time, Lin Kuang and Zhang Lianmei had reached the first sublevel of the Eagle Corporation. Guo Delun and his men also hurried back.

When everyone was gathered, Zhang Lianmei looked around, a smile spreading across her face.

The dust had settled. The Eagle Sect had conquered Leopard Hall and was already in the process of taking over its territories. With this victory, the Eagle Sect had leaped to become the second-most powerful force in East Sea’s underworld.

Its overall strength was second only to Chen Jiachong’s Chen Gang. In fact, the Eagle Sect was already developing the qualifications to contend with the Chen Gang on equal footing!

"Mr. Lin, what should we do with this Zhou Ertao?" Zhang Lianmei asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled faintly. "He’s all yours to deal with. I don’t really understand these matters. I’ve done what I came to do, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m counting on you, Lianmei." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

As he spoke, he gave Zhang Lianmei a look, his profound eyes filled with deep trust.

His words sent a sudden warmth through Zhang Lianmei’s heart. Under his profound gaze, her cheeks flushed, and her heart began to pound wildly. It was a feeling she hadn’t experienced in so long she had nearly forgotten it. It felt like a first love: a mix of happiness and shyness, and within that shyness, a hint of bliss. It was an indescribable sensation.

"Alright, Lianmei, I’ll leave this place to you. I’m off. Remember to call if you need anything," Lin Kuang said with a laugh before turning to leave.

Only after he was gone did Zhang Lianmei snap back to reality.

Watching his departing figure, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, as if mocking her own wishful thinking, or perhaps for reasons only she understood.

At that moment, the entire underworld of East Sea was in an uproar. No one had anticipated that the woman who had just taken over as the head of the Eagle Sect would be so ruthless.

Almost without anyone realizing it, she had wiped out Leopard Hall and swallowed its strength—an undeniably major event in East Sea!

The Eagle Sect had made such a huge move, completely upending the power dynamics of the city’s underworld.

Some leaders were deeply worried, fearing that this woman, Zhang Lianmei, might suddenly make a move against them.

For a time, a palpable panic spread through some of the factions in East Sea’s underworld, leaving them in a state of constant unease.
