Nian Yan glanced at Tang Yao lying on the floor; Tang Yao was still bleeding. If he continued to lose blood, the consequences would be unimaginable. Nian Yan gritted his teeth and walked toward Tang Yao.
“Nie Yan is giving you how much commission? I can double it!” Liu Tianshi said darkly; this was the first time he had been threatened like this.
Cidao laughed and said, “That actually interests me a bit. You have the upper hand in numbers, but I’m worried you might go back on your word. Could the commission be transferred into my account first?”
Liu Tianshi sneered a few times. He could see that Cidao didn’t seem very sincere. Thinking quickly, he looked at Nian Yan and said indifferently, “I don’t believe you dare to kill me. If you really do, not only will both of you perish, but the Tianxia Group will vanish too. Don’t think that old Mo Yuntian can protect you.”
Upon hearing Liu Tianshi’s words, Nian Yan felt a chill in his heart. He had no doubt that the people behind Liu Tianshi had such power. The Tianxia Group was Nian Yan’s weakness; if his parents were implicated because of him, Nian Yan would feel guilty for the rest of his life. But the current situation allowed him no room for retreat.
“You can try it,” Nian Yan coldly glanced at Liu Tianshi.
Liu Tianshi was momentarily speechless; naturally, he wouldn’t dare to gamble with his own life.
Liu Tianshi’s side had many people, but they hesitated to act without orders. The situation became a stalemate.
Listening to the conversation between Nian Yan and Liu Tianshi, Cidao realized that Liu Tianshi’s background was extremely strong, to the point of being able to disregard Mo Yuntian. Whatever happened, he couldn’t actually kill Liu Tianshi and Qin Han, or the consequences would be severe, even destroying the Tianxia Group, which was definitely not something Nian Yan would want to see.
Nian Yan walked to Tang Yao’s side and examined his injuries. Tang Yao had as many as seven wounds on his body, along with bruises from being beaten. Seeing this, Nian Yan’s heart filled with anger. It was Liu Tianshi who had provoked him first; this debt would be repaid eventually.
He tore some cloth from his clothes and quickly bandaged Tang Yao.
Tang Yao was still unconscious, occasionally muttering incoherently, “Damn it… if you’ve got the guts, kill me…”
Seeing Tang Yao like this, Nian Yan felt a pang of sorrow. He dialed Xie Yao’s number.
Seeing it was Nian Yan’s call, Xie Yao anxiously asked, “Nian Yan, how are you all doing? I’ve already asked my father to send people over; they’ll be there soon!”
“Xie Yao, find some people to come in and take Yao away. He’s injured. You don’t need to come in.”
“Nian Yan, how are you all really doing?” Xie Yao was almost crying with anxiety.
“I’m fine,” Nian Yan replied with a faint smile.
Looking up, Nian Yan noticed a red laser targeting Cidao, moving toward the back of his head. If it hit the back of the head directly, it would strike a vital point, causing instant unconsciousness and no reaction possible.
“Cidao, watch out behind!” Nian Yan warned. He looked toward the source of the red laser and saw a man in a black suit at the entrance of the bathroom about seven or eight meters away, aiming his gun at Cidao and pulling the trigger.
Cidao, having received the warning in advance, dodged slightly. With a plop, the bullet hit his shoulder, spraying blood.
As he was hit, Cidao threw two metal hairpins. With two plops, they hit Liu Tianshi and Qin Han simultaneously. Liu and Qin screamed in pain, covering their necks. They clearly hadn’t dodged fast enough; the metal pins pierced their necks, though not in the fatal spots.
He couldn’t kill Liu Tianshi and Qin Han! Just a moment’s hesitation caused him to miss the best opportunity to eliminate Liu and Qin!
As Cidao was shot, several people rushed toward him, three of them attacking him together.
Despite his injury, Cidao fought back but was kicked in the knee joint, forcing him to kneel on one knee. Immediately, three weapons were aimed at his head. With a bang, a foot struck Cidao’s neck, nearly knocking him out, and he fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, another five or six men pulled out their guns and pointed them at Nian Yan. If Nian Yan made any move, they could immediately riddle him with bullets.
Normally, Nian Yan might not have surrendered easily, but with Tang Yao lying injured nearby, any action on his part would endanger Tang Yao!
A burly man approached and punched Nian Yan in the jaw. Nian Yan flew backward, crashing onto the ground. His consciousness began to blur. He struggled to keep his eyes open, but everything looked hazy. He felt someone approach and tried to move, but a foot came down hard on his face.
The excruciating pain caused Nian Yan unbearable agony.
Liu Tianshi, covering his neck, walked to Cidao’s side and kicked him in the stomach. Cidao curled up like a shrimp.
“Damn it, no one has ever dared to hurt me before. You’re the first. I’m going to torture you to death!” Liu Tianshi’s voice was as cold as ice.
“You should think about your own situation,” Cidao, covering his stomach, sneered.
“Still trying to be tough,” Liu Tianshi was about to kick Cidao again but was stopped by Qin Han.
“Let’s hear what he has to say,” Qin Han said. He felt dizzy, although he had lost some blood, but logically speaking, the amount of blood loss shouldn’t have made him dizzy yet!
“You should already be feeling dizzy now. This is the new RE-X neurotoxin. It will gradually infiltrate your brains. Within half an hour, you’ll feel an unbearable itch in your head until you scratch your scalp open, wanting to dig your brains out completely. The RE-X neurotoxin has over 30,000 variants. I created the formula myself. It will take at least five days to analyze the variant type and find an antidote. Go ahead and kill us if you’ve got the guts,” Cidao sneered.
Upon hearing Cidao’s words, Liu Tianshi and Qin Han felt a cold chill down their spines. They had heard of RE-X neurotoxin before but never imagined Cidao would possess such a vicious and vile poison. As a mercenary and assassin who often killed people, Cidao naturally kept some tricks up his sleeve; having such a deadly poison wasn’t impossible.
“Damn it!” Liu Tianshi furiously tried to kick Cidao, but as his foot lifted, he saw Cidao’s eyes like a venomous snake’s, and immediately withdrew his foot.
As Liu Tianshi didn’t know what to do next, the door to the private room was kicked open, and dozens of people rushed in.
“Master Cidao! Master Nian Yan!” Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others immediately turned red-eyed upon seeing Nian Yan and Cidao lying on the ground.
“Damn it, kill these guys, leave no one alive!”
“Attack!”
Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others charged like tigers descending from the mountains toward those in black suits. Several rushed toward Liu Tianshi and Qin Han.
The private room instantly became chaotic. Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others had all been trained by Cidao. Nian Yan had also taught them some of his top professional insights. Their strength had significantly improved and they were now among the best in the entire military system. Although some of these bodyguards were quite strong, they were no match for Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others.
Because of Nian Yan and Cidao’s injuries, Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others were furious, attacking without mercy. The black-suited bodyguards were beaten badly, crying out in pain and falling one after another.
Liu Tianshi and Qin Han were stunned. They didn’t know where Wang Duo and others had come from. Seeing people rushing toward them, they immediately raised their hands to defend themselves and got into a fight.
Bang! Liu Tianshi was punched in the face by Wang Duo and flew backward. Wang Duo’s punch was merciless, using all his strength. He didn’t care about Liu Tianshi’s identity at all. Seeing Liu Tianshi fall, he started kicking him relentlessly.
Liu Tianshi cried out in pain, covering his vital body parts with his hands: “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, let me go… you guys, I won’t let this go, my dad is Liu Guocheng…”
Wang Duo paused for a moment. He had heard of Liu Guocheng before; he was indeed a high-ranking official with great influence. However, Wang Duo didn’t stop. Although that person had great power, he was not from the same system. To take action against him would require formal procedures, gathering evidence, and approval from the General Staff. Just because he fought with Liu Tianshi, that person wouldn’t be able to touch him easily.
“Hmph, even if the emperor himself comes, I won’t hold back. Listen up, I’m Wang Duo from the 012 Special Forces Unit. If you’ve got the guts, come get me. I’m always waiting for you. Whoever doesn’t dare to come is a coward,” Wang Duo cursed, continuing to kick Liu Tianshi mercilessly.
“I’m Lin Yi from the 012 Special Forces Unit!”
“I’m Guo Feng from the 012 Special Forces Unit!”
…
Liu Tianshi was in tears, thinking he was going to be beaten to death. A sense of death’s fear surged through him. For the first time, he encountered someone who was completely unafraid of his identity, and his only source of confidence was gone.
“Wang Duo, don’t kill him,” Cidao said, sitting up and holding his stomach.
“Yes, Master Cidao!”
After giving Liu Tianshi and Qin Han a thorough beating, they let them go. A black-suited bodyguard tried to get up but was kicked flying.
Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and others helped up Cidao, Nian Yan, and Tang Yao.
“How is Big Yao?”
“He’s seriously injured and has lost a lot of blood,” Nian Yan said. He was very worried about Tang Yao’s condition. Yaozi, hold on, you mustn’t die!
Wang Duo took out some medicine and quickly stopped Tang Yao’s bleeding and re-bandaged him. “This medicine is a special drug issued by the Special Forces Unit.”
Liu Tianshi crouched in the corner, trembling continuously. He had internal injuries, and his face was pale with fear.
“We’ll settle the score for today later. Don’t think this is over. If you dare to touch Master Nian Yan or Master Cidao again in the future, we will never let you off!” Wang Duo glared coldly at Liu Tianshi.
At this moment, Liu Tianshi no longer had his previous arrogance. He was merely a spoiled young master who had never experienced anything. For the first time, he had walked the line of death and been beaten badly. A deep fear of Wang Duo and others had taken root in his heart.
