SQUELCH!
The woman didn't hesitate. She brutally gouged out her own eyeball and held it in her palm. She was still smiling, as if she couldn't feel any pain at all.
Angry then pointed to a second person. "Offer your ears. You no longer need to listen!"
The man decisively stabbed the tip of a knife into his ear canal and twisted forcefully. He, too, was grinning and didn't let out a single scream.
Next, under Angry's command, the remaining few successively destroyed their own noses and tongues, leaving everyone's scalps tingling with horror, their faces frozen in shock.
"Alright, that's enough! Stop disgusting us!" a big shot, one who was particularly at odds with the Sandalwood Association, rebuked with revulsion. "Jian Hansheng, this is a serious business eting. It was already too much for you to bring in an unidentified person, and now you let him put on this filthy display. Do you have any upbringing at all? Is this how your father taught you?"
Jian Hansheng, who had been smiling and was about to applaud Angry's performance, turned grim at these words. "My dear Angry, I don't like him!"
Angry smiled. "That is also very simple."
"This is bad!"
The big shot's eye twitched, and he hurriedly ordered his guards to strike first. However, just as his guard was about to pull the trigger, he froze abruptly. Then, with clean and decisive movents, he turned the gun barrel around and shoved it into his mouth.
BANG!
The back of his head exploded. His body convulsed as he collapsed heavily to the floor.
"You!" The big shot shot to his feet, but his expression imdiately went vacant.
The next mont, he dropped to the ground on all fours like a dog. Panting heavily, he crawled toward Jian Hansheng and rubbed against him ingratiatingly.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
They were now completely convinced of Angry's power. Getting the waitstaff to put on an act was simple. Making them self-mutilate without screaming was difficult. Forcing this big shot's elite guard to commit suicide was even harder. But making a powerful man act like a dog begging Jian Hansheng for favor… Under normal circumstances, that was utterly impossible. Only a terrifying form of hypnotism that completely erased their sense of self could achieve this.
These people could be imperious, but they could also humble themselves in an instant. After confirming Angry's identity, they all bowed with deference and respect. So even began shalessly flattering him, proclaiming that with him involved, a minor nuisance like the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom company was as good as dead.
Gan Leixin was quite displeased that Angry had completely stolen Jian Hansheng's thunder. But with such a powerful ally to help him deal with Zhu Yingning, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
"Hansheng, the young are truly to be feared! Bishop Angry, we will be in your care!"
The eting then proceeded to the distribution of profits. Angry unapologetically stated that he would be annexing all of Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom's assets. Furthermore, everyone present would also have to pay him a substantial fee.
"I'm not interested in anything else. Gold. The more gold, the better," he said with a smile.
Everyone was curious. He had already made off with several hundred tons of gold. Why was he still collecting so much more? Does gold have so other use for him?
The eting concluded successfully, and the attendees began to disperse. Jian Hansheng produced a dog leash from sowhere, fastened it around the opposing big shot's neck, and led him away. Since it wasn't their problem, no one else dared to interfere.
Gan Leixin and Qiu Yuxian hurried back to their nearby residence.
Qiu Yuxian's face was pale with worry. "That Angry is so terrifying. Could he have secretly done sothing to our bodies?"
Gan Leixin sighed. "It's not impossible, but don't be afraid. I'll find a way to run so tests later..." Once I reestablish contact with the Shadow Master, He can easily eliminate any hidden dangers affecting . No matter how terrifying Angry is, he's still just a man. The Shadow Master, however, is a great god! There's simply no comparison.
Seeing her husband's confidence, Qiu Yuxian felt reassured and changed the subject. "I heard about an organization in Sakura Country called Hawk Eye that has extensive experience in prosthetic eye transplants. Their prosthetics are said to be over ninety-five percent realistic and can even connect to the nerves, allowing people to truly see… I don't know if it's true, but should we take our grandson there to check it out?"
Gan Leixin's expression changed, and he flatly refused. "No, we absolutely cannot go!"
"Uh, why not?" Qiu Yuxian asked in surprise, unable to understand her husband's strong reaction.
Gan Leixin said helplessly, "On the surface, Hawk Eye researches prosthetic eyes, but the organization runs much deeper. Do you rember that painting Lin Tianyang made?"
"Of course. He drew several very eerie eyes and said it was the pattern on the mask worn by the person who killed his mother. Is it related to Hawk Eye?"
"Not Hawk Eye, but the Eye of Truth behind it!"
"The Eye of Truth?" a voice suddenly interjected from behind them. "That sounds rather formidable. Gan Leixin, why don't you elaborate?"
"Who's there?!"
Gan Leixin and Qiu Yuxian shuddered and whipped around to see Lin Tang, disguised as Long Tianji.
"You… who are you?"
"My na is Long Tianji. I wonder if you've heard of ."
"What? You're Long Tianji? The new Heavenly King of Central Earth?" Gan Leixin, who had been about to call for his guards, was struck dumb. In the presence of a Heavenly King, calling for help was useless. Even Zhong Liming wouldn't be able to withstand a single one of his fingers.
"Heavenly… Heavenly King Long, please, have a seat! Yuxian, what are you standing there for? Pour so tea imdiately!"
"Oh, oh, right, right..."
The couple's limbs felt weak as they trembled violently, terrified that Lin Tang would obliterate them with a single punch.
"Don't be nervous," Lin Tang said gently. "I just want to ask you a few questions. As long as your answers satisfy , I won't harm you."
"Yes, yes! Please, ask away! I will tell you everything I know, down to the last detail!" Gan Leixin replied with utmost seriousness.
"Alright, let's start with this Eye of Truth."
"Yes…" Gan Leixin began. The Eye of Truth, much like the Shadow Master, was of a similar nature. It was not a person. It was a god. Its na is Alto. Its followers are primarily located in Sakura Country. "It is said that even the Princess of Sakura Country, Shatana, is a follower of the Eye of Truth!"
*Shatana?* Lin Tang was suddenly reminded of the stunningly beautiful woman who had shared his bed, though nothing substantial had occurred. She had sworn she would marry no one but Long Tianji, only to slip away quietly. Xiao Qingcang had ntioned she was sothing called a "Faith Body."
"A Faith Body?" Gan Leixin's expression shifted.
"What, you know about it?"
"Well..." Another person might have been clueless, but as a follower of the Shadow Master, Gan Leixin was more familiar with such matters. Not daring to hide anything, he said, "The Eye of Truth is a great deity. For so unknown reason, deities cannot personally descend to the mortal world. The Faith Body serves as a temporary coordinate and vessel for His descent. Moreover, it is said that anyone who becos intimate with the Faith Body will involuntarily beco a fervent believer of the deity…"
Holy shit! So that's how it is! No wonder Shatana tried every trick in the book to marry . If I hadn't controlled myself that night and actually slept with her, with my strength back then, I would have been completely dood! Damn Sakura Country, and damn their honey trap! Good. Very good. This is a score I won't forget.
He then nodded in satisfaction. "You answered that question very well."
Seeing that the Heavenly King seed easy to talk to, Gan Leixin sighed in relief, thinking he was probably out of danger.
The next mont, he heard Lin Tang say, "I'm also very interested in the secrets of Lin Tianyang's family. You'll tell about them as well."
"Ah? I… I don't know…"
"If you dare to say you don't know, I will kill your entire family right now!"
A jolt of pure terror shot through Gan Leixin.
