"Heh," the person suddenly laughed. "We actually want to see how you’ll die in the end, so there’s no need for small talk. Before you die, we’ll bring the most important person in your life in front of you," he continued, a smirk lacing his voice. "If you don’t want to see that outcome, you might as well kill yourself now."
They wanted him to commit suicide?
They must have recognized his stubborn streak a long time ago.
All these days, he had been a loner, clearly not wanting to drag anyone else into his troubles. Such a person would definitely not easily concede to suicide.
Moreover, his identity, if he were to commit suicide, that would be a smear on the Alliance District.
He would never do something like that; these two must think that forcing him to suicide was another way to torture him.
"What’s so fun about suicide? Come and fight me instead. I’m still injured, you know," he taunted. "Don’t tell me you’re too scared to fight? Are you afraid I’ll send you to meet Tasang?"
He kept bringing up Tasang to provoke the person hiding in the shadows.
"Just now, one of those women, she knows you," the man suddenly interjected, causing Meng Xinian’s heart to tense up.
Zhang Xiaomei—he had recognized her earlier. She was the woman caught at the police station!
He had done his best to conceal his face within the raised collar of his garment to avoid her recognition.
He thought he had cleared the hurdle, but then this man suddenly brought up a point of suspicion at this moment.
"Am I right? Is it her?" the man cackled with sudden pride. He had had an epiphany just a moment ago, and now upon hearing Meng Xinian’s voice, he was reminded of the cry that burst forth when the old woman had sprawled towards him.
In fact, at that time, worried Zhang Xiaomei would recognize him, Xinian had uttered just one word, "Scram!"
And that, with a voice suppressed to be deep and vicious.
The mind of the man before him was incredibly meticulous; after hearing just a few words from Xinian, he found himself recalling the scene from moments ago.
Meng Xinian inwardly cursed at the realization that things had turned dire.
Zhang Xiaomei and Little had a feud!
If these men found her, she would definitely delight in selling out Little!
Furthermore, at this moment, Xinian could hear a commotion from a hidden spot—the person who had always been lurking had run off!
Naturally, he wasn’t about to flee for his life!
He was heading back to find Zhang Xiaomei!
Realizing this, Meng Xinian’s breath turned icy, and his entire being lunged at the man before him, his moves aiming straight for the kill.
The tall man shouted, "Indeed!"
He had guessed right!
They had finally found someone who knew him!
As long as they captured that woman, they could find out his identity! And with that, they could also find who his most important person was!
They planned to use the blood and head of the most important person to offer sacrifice to Tasang!
"Since you want to die, I’ll oblige you first!" Meng Xinian said, his tone cold and murderous.
With no other options, he mustered all his strength to kill this man before he captured Zhang Xiaomei and then return to Little’s side!
But the stabbing pain in his calf nearly prevented him from standing.
"Your right leg is injured!" the tall man exclaimed excitedly, leaping up and fiercely kicking at Xinian’s right leg!
His kicking technique was strong!
That kick seemed to carry a force of a thousand pounds!
This man was certainly no ordinary individual, likely a veteran of underground boxing matches, a type who had reaped lives and made plenty of money on the fighting stage!
