At the sa ti, in New York City, on Huqiu Mountain, the Jin Family.
At this mont, the lavish estate of the Jin Family was brightly lit, yet amidst this flourishing scene of lights, there was an ever-present, invisible aura of slaughter.
n dressed in black outfits moved in teams, each with solemn expressions, appearing very grave. Each had a wireless earpiece and a handgun at their waist, giving off a cold and stern air.
These n were the professional bodyguards hired by the Jin Family, patrolling in three shifts, twenty-four hours a day, creating an extraordinary sense of severity.
The current state of the Jin Family was one of extre tension and alarm, giving off an icy sense of urgency from within and without.
anwhile, in the Jin Family's back garden, there was also a tense atmosphere. Jin Qingyun was lying on a recliner, playing with two solid steel balls in his hands, his eyes closed as if relaxing.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that Jin Qingyun's brows were slightly furrowed, clearly troubled by sothing.
In fact, the recent annihilation of the Gu Family had indeed posed a massive threat to the Jin Family. The Jin Family had been in this state for quite so ti, feeling a subtle yet real sense of shared fate.
However, as the Patriarch of the Jin Family, Jin Qingyun could only go with the flow, knowing that their family was only slightly stronger than the Gu Family.
Since Lu Yu was able to eliminate the Gu Family, the next target was naturally the Jin Family.
It was precisely because of this that Jin Qingyun felt incredibly vexed, as he could find no better thod to deal with Lu Yu's moves.
If Lu Yu were to openly confront him head-on, Jin Qingyun would not be so restless, as he could at least see the enemy's attack and respond accordingly.
But now, Lu Yu was employing a strategy of encirclent without killing. Since the destruction of the Gu Family, Lu Yu hadn't even made a probing attack or provocation, as if the Jin Family didn't exist.
Yet it was precisely this situation that caused the Jin Family to be on high alert, seeing threats everywhere!
Knowing that they were the next target but not knowing when the attack would co is like knowing you will die but not knowing the exact ti of death.
This feeling genuinely drives people insane!
The saying goes, "Conquering the city is second best, conquering the heart is supre." After wiping out the Gu Family, Lu Yu wasn't in a hurry to act against the Jin Family, precisely for this reason!
Letting the enemy wear themselves out amidst suspicion and alarm, it wouldn't be long before the strength of the Jin Family drastically dwindled!
And that would be the best ti to strike against the Jin Family!
"Sir"
At this mont, as Jin Qingyun rested with his eyes closed, the Jin Family's butler slowly approached and said, "Go back and rest..."
The butler's words carried a hint of persuasion, while he glanced around with evident vigilance.
"Why go back?"
Upon hearing the butler's words, Jin Qingyun replied indifferently, "You should know my schedule, shouldn't you?"
In his words, Jin Qingyun's voice was low, already tinged with reproach.
"But sir"
Upon hearing Jin Qingyun's words, the butler replied, "It's currently a dangerous ti, you're at risk staying here, I think..."
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing the butler's words, Jin Qingyun suddenly shouted angrily, "This is the Jin Family's territory, Lu Yu has no guts to act against us here!? It's outrageous..."
Bang!
Just as Jin Qingyun was about to finish his sentence, a sudden dull gunshot rang out, and imdiately, the head of a bodyguard standing not far from Jin Qingyun exploded!
Splurt!
With a crisp sound, at the mont the bodyguard's head shattered, the still-pulsing brain matter and yellowish brain fluid splattered everywhere, looking exceptionally bloody!
Smack!
The scene was like a silent slap in Jin Qingyun's old face, filling him with rage!
"Quick, there's an enemy!"
As the bodyguard's head was shot, all the bodyguards present reacted instantly, surrounding Jin Qingyun and appearing exceptionally vigilant!
"Clear the way!"
Seeing the scene before him, Jin Qingyun leaped up, exuding a sense of dominance, and said, "Let see what other tricks the enemy has. If they have the guts, let them shoot in the head!"
Jin Qingyun was very confident in his own skills, believing that the shooter could not possibly hit him!
With those words, the bodyguards quickly spread out, each in full alert mode, appearing exceptionally professional!
For a while, everyone waited silently for the gunman's next move to determine his position!
One minute...
Three minutes...
Five minutes...
The group waited in full concentration for five minutes but found that the enemy had not made another move!
Evidently, the opponent had retreated after taking out that bodyguard's head with a single shot!
One shot and a quick retreat, this was not an assassination attempt but an action to amplify the tension within the Jin Family!
"Damn it!"
Seeing no further reaction from the surroundings, Jin Qingyun was extrely furious. He squeezed hard, instantly deforming the two steel balls in his hands!
"Lu Yu, if you've got the guts, step out and fight openly and head-on. What skill is there in lurking in the shadows and taking potshots?!"
As he spoke, Jin Qingyun roared in anger, giving off a sense of imnse frustration. His yelling echoed far, with no one answering!
At this mont, the echoes around him rebounded, becoming especially eerie under the wind, as if mocking Jin Qingyun, making him even more furious!
"Bastard!"
Finding no one responding to him, Jin Qingyun was enraged to the extre, his eyes flashing with cold light, giving off a chilling, vicious aura!
If Lu Yu were willing to confront him head-on, he would not fear, but Lu Yu used encirclent without killing as a psychological tactic, leaving Jin Qingyun feeling as if he was swinging a hamr at cotton!
Possessing formidable strength but being unable to display it anywhere, that feeling of having strength with no ans to exert it was genuinely frustrating for him!
