BANG!
The gunshot rang out, and the young girls scread in terror. Their parents and relatives shivered, sighing inwardly.
The man on top of the car really has a death wish. A woman just died, yet he still dares to provoke them…
"He won't get us all killed, will he?" they worried, fearing the drivers would suddenly go back on their word, kill them, and drag their daughters back to be sold.
"Wait a minute!"
"H-How is he still standing?"
"Why isn't his head bleeding?"
"Look, the bullet!"
Their eyes bulged, jaws nearly hitting the ground. The fired bullet was lodged in Lin Tang's forehead. It hadn't pierced his skin, nor had it bounced off.
"How is that possible?" The driver who fired turned green with fear. He never imagined soone's head could be hard enough to stop a bullet.
Is this guy even human?
"Since you're unwilling to explain, there's nothing left for to say." Lin Tang leaped effortlessly from the car to the ground.
Without him even lifting a finger, the driver collapsed, dead.
The other drivers' expressions changed drastically. They opened fire as well, and then they too died.
Lin Tang imdiately used his Soul Searching Technique and learned about the so-called Cloud Dream City. It was a place established by the reclusive Feng Family in a remote region. It was called a city, but in truth, it was rely a village.
The Feng Family claid to guarantee the safety of all transactions within its borders, forbidding any double-crossing, and collected a hefty venue fee for this service. Beyond that, the village hosted various entertainnt venues for people's amusent. So desperate criminals also took refuge here, serving as flunkies or brokers. These drivers were among the lowest of the low.
"I was a little embarrassed about coming here to rob them, but since this Feng Family is such scum, I suppose I'm just carrying out heaven's will," Lin Tang murmured to himself.
He glanced at the woman who had been beaten to death. With a point of his finger, the wound on her head healed in an instant. She woke up and called out, "Li'er, Li'er…"
Witnessing this, the others stared as if they had just seen a ghost, watching blankly as Lin Tang walked toward the dense forest.
The recent volley of gunshots had alerted another group of people.
"Hey, Old Black, playing dirty again? Taking their money and then killing them, don't you have any professional ethics?"
"Haha, killing the old ones is no big deal, just don't waste the young ones… Hey, who are you?"
They looked at Lin Tang, instinctively sensing danger. Without another word, they drew their weapons.
SWISH—
A streak of light flashed. Their heads all hit the ground in unison, spraying blood everywhere. In the blink of an eye, every one of their accomplices within a thousand-ter radius was dead. Not a single one remained.
Lin Tang continued forward as if he were on a leisurely stroll. A mont later, he walked into Cloud Dream City. The people inside were still blissfully unaware that their outer periter had been completely eliminated. The air was thick with an atmosphere of decadent revelry.
"Hey, you look new around here, buddy. First ti? Here for so fun, or looking to make a trade? Got enough cash on you? Let tell you, around here, money makes the world go 'round. As long as you have enough, you can get anything you want!" A few n who looked like guides imdiately sward him, fawning over him.
Lin Tang casually pulled out a few of the gold bars he had just confiscated and flashed them. "Really? Anything I want?"
Their eyes lit up. "Of course!"
"Whether it's beautiful won or opium, we've got it all. What's your pleasure? I'll take you there!"
"Pick , pick ! My commission is lower!"
"I don't take a commission! I'll do it for free!"
"Don't trust him! Here, 'free' is the most expensive price. He's just looking to rip you off. I'm the one who's honest and fair to everyone…"
They all saw Lin Tang as a fat sheep ready for shearing and naturally scrambled to get his business.
Lin Tang smiled. "Compared to all that, I prefer killing people. Is that on the nu?"
"Huh?"
"What did you say?"
"Well…"
The n exchanged uncertain glances, trying to determine if he was joking. One of them lowered his voice. "As long as you can pay the price, that can be arranged. Ten kilograms of gold bars for one life. You can torture them however you like."
"That sounds fair. You'll do." Lin Tang nodded.
The man was overjoyed, thinking Lin Tang had chosen him as his guide and would pay him handsoly. He never expected Lin Tang to kill him with a single punch. Lin Tang then tossed the gold bars onto his corpse.
The others: "!!!!"
"Fuck! You ca here looking for trouble?"
"You must be blind, daring to cause a scene here!"
"Guards! Guards! Quick, co execute him!" they shrieked as they scrambled to get away.
Soon, the Feng Family's guard squad sward the area, surrounding Lin Tang.
"What's going on?" The leader was dressed in leather armor with a sword at his waist. He had the flair of an ancient swordsman, but his hairstyle was modern.
"Sixth Master Feng, you must get justice for Erniu! This bastard killed him!"
"To kill soone so brazenly in our Cloud Dream City… he's completely disregarding the Feng Family's rules!"
"Oh?" The leader looked coldly at Lin Tang. "You're courting death…"
"Wait! I have sothing to say!" Lin Tang declared, utterly unfazed. "The man you call Erniu personally told you offer a killing service here. Ten kilograms of gold bars for any kind of murder I want. They all heard him. I ca to an agreent with him before I killed him, and I even paid him the gold bars. How is that breaking the rules? I object!"
"Ah, this—"
The n exchanged bewildered looks. The guards' expressions also grew strange.
"No, that's not right! Erniu ant he could take you to kill the slaves sold here, not him!"
"Well, that's his fault for not being clear beforehand." Lin Tang said with an innocent look, which then broke into a smile.
Sixth Master Feng saw that he remained confident and utterly fearless.
