Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 89: Leave Calmly

Rubbing his aching arms, the Major General cracked a smile. "That’s some impressive strength, kid. Are you really not going to join Black Scorpion? If you do, I guarantee I’ll personally recommend you for the rank of General!" He spoke earnestly, his eyes filled with deep admiration.

"Thanks, but I really have no interest in becoming a mercenary!" Lin Kuang’s tone turned cold as he spoke, and he lunged forward, throwing a punch at the Major General’s head.

Watching the fierce punch come at him, the Major General’s expression grew grave. He dodged with a phantom-like movement, evading Lin Kuang’s strike. At the same time, the Major General launched a decisive counterattack—a knee strike from the side, aimed at Lin Kuang’s abdomen.

Their movements were incredibly fast, a flurry of action that left little time to react. Facing the attack, Lin Kuang also raised his leg, a faint light flashing across his knee. The next moment, their knees collided fiercely.

BANG!

The Major General’s face suddenly flushed red as his body was sent flying backward, his left leg dangling limply. Lin Kuang had shattered his kneecap, completely crippling the limb.

Seeing his chance, Lin Kuang naturally wouldn’t give his opponent any time to recover. Propelling himself with his feet, he shot forward like a cannonball, appearing before the Major General with terrifying, unparalleled speed. He threw another punch, this one aimed straight for the Major General’s heart.

The Major General desperately pushed off with his right foot, trying to retreat and dodge the terrifying attack. However, with only one good leg, his movements were sluggish. He barely managed to avoid the strike; Lin Kuang’s fist passed less than a centimeter from his chest.

At that moment, Lin Kuang’s clenched fist suddenly opened. His fingers, as hard as daggers, plunged into the Major General’s chest.

Feeling his chest being pierced, the Major General’s eyes widened in horror. However, Lin Kuang gave him no further chance to be shocked. He withdrew his bloody hand, clenched it into a fist again, and slammed it into the very same wound.

This punch ended the Major General’s life. His heart was completely obliterated by the formidable power of the blow, leaving no chance of survival. The Major General stared fixedly at Lin Kuang as his body fell heavily to the ground, dead but with his eyes wide open.

Lin Kuang ignored the corpse. He stood still for a moment to catch his breath, then strode swiftly toward the Land Rover.

"You... you, stay back, or else... or else I’ll shoot her!"

Just then, the last Black Scorpion member emerged from the Land Rover. He had his left arm wrapped around Fan Bingbing’s neck and a gun pressed to her head. Fan Bingbing was still unconscious, completely oblivious to what was happening. This mercenary had clearly witnessed the fight between Lin Kuang and the Major General. To him, the Major General was like a god, so to see him killed so effortlessly was a tremendous shock. He stared at Lin Kuang, his eyes filled with terror.

Seeing Fan Bingbing held hostage, Lin Kuang coldly drew the Desert Eagle from his back and aimed it at the mercenary. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"I’ll count to three. Let her go, and I’ll give you a chance to escape," Lin Kuang said, gesturing with his left hand toward the dead Major General. "Otherwise, his fate will be yours."

The Black Scorpion member’s body trembled involuntarily. The coldness in Lin Kuang’s gaze intensified his terror.

"No! You put down the gun! Put down the gun, or I’ll kill her!" the man screamed, on the verge of hysteria.

"Three... two... one!" Lin Kuang completely ignored the man’s frantic shouts, counting down calmly.

The moment he said the last number, his Desert Eagle fired.

BANG!

A bullet slammed into the mercenary’s gun-wielding shoulder. He screamed in pain, the handgun dropping to the ground as he staggered back. In that instant, his head, which had been hidden behind Fan Bingbing, was exposed.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Kuang fired again, a headshot that instantly killed the last Black Scorpion member.

Without a second glance, Lin Kuang rushed forward to catch Fan Bingbing as she slumped toward the ground. Seeing that she was only unconscious and otherwise unharmed, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just unconscious. Thankfully, nothing serious," Lin Kuang murmured.

He then carried Fan Bingbing into the battered Land Rover and drove straight to the Sigel Hotel. On the way, he called Liu Shilin to ask where they were. He was greatly relieved to hear that she and the others had already made it home safely. After assuring Liu Shilin that he was fine, he hung up and drove the damaged vehicle to the back entrance of the Sigel Hotel.

The back door was locked, but Lin Kuang paid it no mind. He kicked it open and walked inside, carrying Fan Bingbing. To avoid any paparazzi, he grabbed some stray clothes to cover both his and Fan Bingbing’s faces before heading to her room.

Fan Bingbing’s room was empty and still locked. Lin Kuang simply kicked this door open as well and carried her inside.

He placed Fan Bingbing on the sofa and gave her back a few firm pats. A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Lin Kuang’s concerned face.

At that moment, her memory was stuck at the concert, when everything went pitch black and she fell from the stage. Now, looking at Lin Kuang, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Lin Kuang, what happened? Are we back at the hotel?" she asked, rubbing her aching head.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled and nodded. "Yes, we’re back at the hotel. You don’t remember what just happened?"

"I just remember everything going pitch black, then I fell from the stage. After that, I think someone struck me on the neck, and then I don’t remember anything at all," Fan Bingbing said, shaking her head, which was clearly still throbbing.

Lin Kuang nodded and briefly recounted the events that had transpired.

Shock filled Fan Bingbing’s beautiful eyes as she listened to him. Although Lin Kuang’s account was simple, she knew enough to understand just how dangerous the situation had truly been. At this moment, her gaze toward Lin Kuang softened even more, and the fondness in her heart for him grew even stronger.
