The man who appeared was in his fifties, broad-shouldered and fierce-looking. His eyes, in particular, glinted with a sinister sharpness.
This was Zhang Xiaotian’s father, Zhang Dingyuan.
Upon seeing him, Zhang Xiaotian scrambled over, tumbling and crawling as if he’d just found a long-lost relative.
"Dad, you’re just in time!" he wailed like a banshee. "This stinking beggar crippled me, and he just kicked my groin again!"
At these words, Zhang Dingyuan’s furious gaze landed on Lin Xiao. His own son had been crippled by this filthy beggar. If he hadn’t been so busy with a major project with the Zhao Family, he would have had this beggar killed long ago. After all, if that project succeeded, it could elevate the Zhang Family to the next level. But it wasn’t too late. Today would be this filthy beggar’s day to die.
"You stinking beggar!" Zhang Dingyuan bellowed, his voice thick with killing intent. "For harming my son , today is the day you die, you piece of trash!"
Lin Xiao shrugged, walking silently toward Zhang Xiaotian.
"What? Want to kneel and apologize to me now?" Zhang Xiaotian roared savagely. "It’s too late, you son of a bitch! I’m going to castrate you, you piece of trash!"
Lin Xiao smiled. Then, quick as lightning, he delivered a massive slap to the man’s head.
Zhang Xiaotian’s head exploded.
It all happened so suddenly that Zhang Dingyuan’s mind went blank. He could only stare dumbfoundedly at Lin Xiao.
Jia Meng’s heart hammered in his chest, and his body trembled at the shocking scene. He knew Lin Xiao was no ordinary man, but he’d never expected him to be this ruthless—to kill Zhang Xiaotian just like that.
Just then, a heart-wrenching scream tore through the air. Zhang Dingyuan finally snapped back to reality.
Gazing at his headless son, he felt as if his own head had been smashed by a colossal hammer. It was numb, wooden, and buzzing incessantly.
"Are you satisfied now?" Lin Xiao asked coldly.
"You beast!" Zhang Dingyuan roared. "I’ll fucking kill you!"
He was so furious he wanted to kill Lin Xiao on the spot. With no more words, Zhang Dingyuan lunged fiercely toward Lin Xiao, who simply sneered and sent the man flying with a single kick.
Zhang Dingyuan slammed to his knees. The excruciating pain in his abdomen nearly made him pass out. But he knew he couldn’t. He had to avenge his son. He greedily gulped down breaths of fresh air, and it took a long moment for the pain to subside.
At some point, his eyes had turned blood-red, like those of a thoroughly enraged beast.
This time, however, he didn’t charge again. Though consumed by rage and sorrow, a sliver of his rationality remained. He knew he was no match for this filthy beggar. He needed to find someone else to avenge his son.
Without another word, Zhang Dingyuan pulled out his phone. He was calling the King of Jinling. The Zhang Family had only managed to form a connection with the King because Zhang Dingyuan’s own sister was his mistress. Thanks to this relationship, the Zhang Family had leaped from a third-tier to a second-tier family within three years. It was also because of this connection that Zhang Dingyuan had become the current head of the Zhang Family.
The call connected quickly. "Master, I must trouble you to send a few of your men to the Rolls-Royce dealership," Zhang Dingyuan said, his voice trembling.
After the person on the other end spoke, Zhang Dingyuan was heard saying, "Yes, I’m just dealing with a piece of trash. Alright. Rest assured, I will thank you generously after it’s done."
With that, Zhang Dingyuan hung up and shot Lin Xiao a vicious glare, the venom in his eyes intense enough to swallow him whole.
Then, he dialed another number. This time, it rang for a while before someone answered.
"Chief Bai, come to the Rolls-Royce dealership. My son was killed by a beast," Zhang Dingyuan said, his face expressionless. "Don’t worry, I’ll thank you handsomely for this."
"What, is that all you’ve got?" Lin Xiao asked indifferently. "Aren’t you going to call anyone else you think is powerful?"
"Hmph! To deal with trash like you, these two groups are more than enough!"
Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Dingyuan as if he were an idiot. If the man hadn’t made those calls, Lin Xiao wouldn’t have planned on dealing with the rest of the Zhang Family. After all, the main culprit, Zhang Xiaotian, was already dead. But he just had to go and make two calls, completely oblivious to his own doom, thinking he could use such pitiful connections to handle him. Well, if that was the case, Lin Xiao wouldn’t be polite anymore. Soon enough, Zhang Dingyuan would discover that the Zhang Family was about to pay a price they could never afford.
As for Jia Meng, he could only marvel at Zhang Dingyuan’s stupidity. He knew the Zhang Family was about to be wiped from the face of the earth. Fınd the newest release on noveⅼfire.net
After about ten minutes, a luxury car sped to a halt. Before it had even fully stopped, four burly, thuggish-looking men leaped out.
Zhang Dingyuan knew the men sent by the King of Jinling had arrived.
"Who is Zhang Dingyuan?" the leader of the group asked coldly.
"I am," Zhang Dingyuan replied grimly.
"You need us to deal with that piece of trash?"
Zhang Dingyuan glared at Lin Xiao, his eyes like daggers. "That stinking beggar right there!" he said resentfully.
The leader sounded annoyed. "Zhang Dingyuan, are you serious? You called us out here for a stinking beggar?"
"That beggar has some skill! He just killed my son!"
Only then did the four thugs notice the headless corpse lying next to Zhang Dingyuan. The sight stunned them for a moment. But their gazes quickly refocused on Lin Xiao. The corpse was terrifying, but these men were all capable subordinates of the King of Jinling. It wasn’t as if they’d never killed anyone before.
The leader asked coldly, "Alright, in that case, what do you want us to do with this stinking beggar?"
"Kill him!" Zhang Dingyuan bellowed, his rage finally erupting without restraint.
"We can do that, but the price is steep," the leader said.
"No problem," Zhang Dingyuan said through gritted teeth. "As long as you kill him, the Zhang Family is willing to go bankrupt!"
Yes, that was exactly his plan. He would kill this stinking beggar even if it cost his family everything.
The leader nodded, his cold expression twisting into a sinister, cunning smile. He turned to the three thugs behind him. "You heard him. Mr. Zhang wants us to kill this stinking beggar."
The three men nodded. Without another word, they charged toward Lin Xiao with ferocious expressions.
Just then, an indifferent yet authoritative voice reached their ears.
"Whoever dares to touch him today, I’ll have their entire family accompany him in death!"
