"In three days, eliminate the Liger Gang." Xiao Lin toyed with Lotus’s long hair with his fingers, pinning one leg down on hers to prevent her escape. "Make a detailed attack plan."
Lotus laughed. She had won a position beside Xiao Lin, the best compensation he could give her, a place that allowed her to intervene in his life.
"The Liger Building has gathered all the top managent of the Liger Gang. Unlike Poison Dragon, the Liger Gang’s influence spans across the entire Western Suburb, too vast an area. Trying to uproot them would implicate the innocent." Lotus removed the hand supporting her neck, as it would beco numb over ti. She disliked him enduring such discomfort for her. "The Lion’s stronghold is within the Liger Building. Catching the thief starts with the king. How many people do you plan to use this ti?"
"Probably just !" Xiao Lin thought about it. A large number of people would make the target obvious. Handling the Lion silently and without trace, leaving the aftermath to the Hua Family to clean up, would allow them to seamlessly take over the Western Suburb. That seems more reasonable.
"One person? I’m afraid they won’t agree to that." Lotus was referring to Hua Qingyi and Miao Shaoqing.
"They’ve been following you since you left from the Middle East. Do you think you can shake them off?"
Xiao Lin smiled wryly, "Wash up and co down. They’ve already arrived."
The sound of an engine stopping was clearly heard. Xiao Lin got up from the bed, noticing the traces of red on the sheets, and gazed at Lotus with his dark eyes. "You should rest a bit! You must be very tired." He walked into the bathroom, filled the tub with warm water, and carried Lotus into the comforting water. After adding essential oils, he turned on the heater to full blast before coming out, tidying up the sheets and replacing them with fresh ones, then went downstairs.
"When did you return? Where’s Xia Xue?" Hua Qingyi looked surprised as Xiao Lin erged from Lotus’s room. He didn’t ask much more, while Miao Shaoqing, carrying groceries and anities from the supermarket, appeared behind Hua Qingyi, accompanied by three boxes of liquor!
"She stayed at the Xia Family." Xiao Lin followed Miao Shaoqing outside, helping him carry the liquor inside.
"Your hand..." Xiao Lin raised his blackened hand, the entire palm resembling a piece of charcoal, but it didn’t extend further and stopped at the palm’s base.
"Who was it this ti?"
Hua Qingyi glanced at Miao Shaoqing. Their mories of tying up loose ends at Yan University hadn’t faded before a new round began. The special squad from Flash Sword entered the operating room at Yan University Hospital, efficiently handling the corpses and cleaning the site within half an hour. By the ti the staff entered the hospital, everything was restored, and Nightmare’s body had been transported back to Dragon Soul headquarters for laboratory research.
"It’s the Liger Gang!" Xiao Lin rubbed his darkened palm; the venom from the snake lasted longer than he expected. There was no swelling or numbness, indicating that it was still within his controllable range.
"Does the Liger Gang have such skilled individuals?" Miao Shaoqing put the food into the large-capacity fridge, grabbed three cans of beer, and ca over, sitting on the thick carpet. He pulled Xiao Lin’s hand over and compared the wound with his fingers.
"The venomous fangs didn’t penetrate deeply, pit viper?"
"It resembles a pit viper, roughly two ters long, still an adolescent. Its body entirely red with a white belly; scales are incredibly hard and will stand upright!" Miao Shaoqing, coming from a Miao tribal background, listened as Xiao Lin described the snake’s appearance, hoping to find its origin.
"Feeding newborn snakes by soaking them in specially concocted venom will harden the scales. As for color, they might mutate and soften but won’t beco red. What you saw might not have been a pit viper but a hybrid mutant species."
"Snakes have poor vision and can be considered blind. They capture prey by sensing heat and vibrations to determine their target’s position. Could it be possible that this snake was controlled by sound?"
"Not by sound, but by a certain rhythmic wave length," Miao Shaoqing answered confidently. In Miao Family Village, there were many who played with snakes, capturing and collecting venom from various snakes in the deep mountains for profit. (To be continued.
