“Kill the bystander when both sides are at war?”
Zhao Hai was about to take a sip from his bottled water when he heard this, and his hand trembled slightly.
Do you think life has been too comfortable that you dare to provoke him?
Chen Luo was also taken aback. Was he being forced to participate like this? If he didn’t participate, would they kill him?
Before coming here, Zhao Hai had mentioned that Qi Lin was a person with a black heart and great courage. Indeed, he had real guts.
Qi Lin sneered, “Do you think you can benefit from our mutual destruction, and then reap the rewards?”
The gaze of the others was also focused on Chen Luo. Typically, in such a situation, wouldn’t someone just want to take advantage of the chaos?
Watching others fight and kill while preserving their own strength?
They were deluding themselves.
A man with glasses and somewhat dirty long hair took a drag from his cigarette and sneered.
“I suspect that he might be planning to wait for us to start fighting and then launch a surprise attack on our base to seize our supplies,” someone said.
Zhao Hai felt that at this moment, he needed to do something. If he just stayed quietly on the sidelines and watched the show, he might end up in trouble.
Even if Chen Luo didn’t say anything, he would probably feel uneasy. Standing by Chen Luo’s side at this moment might earn him Chen Luo’s favor.
Zhao Hai stood up and said in a serious tone, “Qi Lin, I guarantee that Chen Luo is absolutely not thinking along those lines. He simply doesn’t want to get involved in this conflict.”
Zhao Hai recalled what Chen Luo had said the day before yesterday: “Children fighting, I don’t want to meddle.”
Although it sounded a bit pretentious, it was the truth.
Qi Lin snorted, “I never believe in words, only in actions. I’m giving you, Zhao Hai, a little face. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sitting here. He would have to kneel to talk to me.”
Zhao Hai gave up trying to convince him. “Fine, you’re amazing. I won’t say anything more. Even if I did, it wouldn’t matter. I’m afraid Chen Luo has already sentenced you to death.”
Chen Luo rarely smiled in front of others, unless he couldn’t help it. He actually laughed and said, “So you’re quite brave, huh? I’d like to see what makes you think you can make me kneel. Come on, if you have the guts, make me kneel.”
As Chen Luo’s words fell, some of Qi Lin’s henchmen around the table immediately pointed several guns at Chen Luo, including two shotguns.
Chen Luo sneered, “Is that all you’ve got?”
Qi Lin said with a sinister tone, “I can tell you’re not a small fry. You’re probably a Level Four like Ye Gaofei, right? You’ve got some skills and a lot of guts, daring to come here alone. But I don’t believe a Level Four can handle hundreds of people.”
“You must have crystals on you, otherwise, you wouldn’t have grown so quickly. Hand over the crystals, write a letter to your people to come and join us, and when we confront Ye Gaofei, you can be at the forefront. Only then I can let you go.”
Chen Luo suddenly realized why Qi Lin had suddenly targeted him and why he had planted a spy in his base. Qi Lin had guessed his level and assumed he had crystals. His reluctance to participate was just an excuse.
This was Qi Lin’s stronghold, and if he obtained Chen Luo’s crystals, they would belong to Qi Lin. No one else here had the courage to challenge Qi Lin.
Qi Lin coldly ordered, “Search him. Those valuable items must be on his person. If not, treat him as a hostage.”
“Chen Luo, I advise you to behave, or your fate will be unpleasant.”
Qi Lin stood up and distanced himself a bit from Chen Luo, preventing him from launching a sudden attack. Meanwhile, a signal had been sent out, and a large group of people was rushing over.
Several burly men with fierce expressions were about to restrain Chen Luo, trying to search him thoroughly.
But was Chen Luo’s crystal hidden in such a way that it could be discovered so easily? Impossible. However, he couldn’t allow them to search him, could he? Surrendering his innocence?
To be honest, Chen Luo didn’t want to take action against Qi Lin. Qi Lin was going to deal with Ye Gaofei, and if he eliminated Qi Lin, Ye Gaofei might survive. Chen Luo preferred to let someone else take care of Ye Gaofei. He didn’t want to be the one responsible for Ye Gaofei’s fate.
But now, it seemed he had no choice but to act.
Chen Luo swiftly lifted the table in the direction of the gunmen and simultaneously lunged towards Qi Lin.
Qi Lin, experienced and composed in the face of danger, began to retreat into the crowd. However, he underestimated Chen Luo’s explosive speed and the power of a Level Five.
“I’m not just a Level Four!”
The distance between Chen Luo and Qi Lin was less than twenty meters. Despite the people blocking their path, Chen Luo’s high-speed movements caused those in his way to be knocked aside.
Gunshots rang out, but Chen Luo paid them no mind; the bullets struck him without causing any sensation.
Qi Lin had yet to advance far into the crowd when Chen Luo swiftly seized him in his grasp.
Amidst a hundred people, he effortlessly captured the enemy leader.
Fear gripped Qi Lin’s heart as he realized the vast gap in strength.
Although Qi Lin was alarmed, he remained composed. He had over four hundred people on his side, along with the underlings of several other leaders, totaling over a thousand individuals.
No matter how formidable you are, can you take on a thousand enemies?
Qi Lin remained calm and composed, displaying the demeanor of a big shot. He began to say, “If you dare to kill—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Luo delivered a resounding slap to his face. Chen Luo controlled the force well, only because he needed answers from Qi Lin.
With a light chuckle, Chen Luo asked, “Tell me, how do you plan to kill Ye Gaofei?”
Although the slap didn’t inflict much physical damage, it was incredibly humiliating.
It had been a long time since Qi Lin had experienced such humiliation, and for someone as proud as him, it was truly degrading.
Qi Lin’s eyes were red as he retorted, “Go ahead, kill me if you dare. But if you do, you won’t leave my base alive.”
Hundreds of people had already arrived and surrounded Chen Luo. If it weren’t for their fear for Qi Lin, they might have already attacked.
One of Qi Lin’s henchmen shouted, “Release our boss, and we’ll let you go.”
Chen Luo squinted his eyes and continued slapping Qi Lin with the resounding slap, quickly turning his face into a bloody mess.
Chen Luo’s voice was cold as he demanded, “Will you talk?”
Even at this moment, Qi Lin grinned and said, “I started living on the streets at the age of thirteen. I’ve endured all kinds of beatings and been through hell. Are you going to kill me? We’ll die together.”
Qi Lin’s eyes were filled with cruelty, resembling a wild beast.
Chen Luo frowned, recognizing a certain level of toughness in Qi Lin. It was a pity that he had crossed paths with Chen Luo, not realizing the consequences of his actions.
Chen Luo wanted to know how Qi Lin planned to deal with Ye Gaofei, but it wasn’t essential information.
Qi Lin might not have been exceptionally powerful, but he was more dangerous than anyone Chen Luo had encountered before.
Without hesitation, Chen Luo strangled Qi Lin’s throat, and the struggling Qi Lin died weakly.
“Big brother!”
One of Qi Lin’s underlings was filled with fury and rushed at Chen Luo without any reservations.
Chen Luo, with a cold demeanor, summoned a Void Sword and began the slaughter. While a few were at the third level, the majority were only at the second level. They were no match for Chen Luo.
After killing a portion of the crowd, the rest panicked and scattered in all directions. Chen Luo pursued those who seemed to be Qi Lin’s core subordinates.
Chen Luo typically didn’t leave loose ends, but in this situation, he couldn’t single-handedly eliminate the scattered runners.
Returning to where Zhao Hai and the others were, the so-called “big brothers” were pale with fear.
“Is this still a human being? Chasing after hundreds of people alone?” They couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.
Zhao Hai was equally astonished. This was even more shocking than any of Chen Luo’s previous actions.
The man with long hair and glasses, who had spoken earlier, was now trembling on the ground, completely terrified. Chen Luo didn’t waste any time with him and swiftly put an end to his life with his sword.
Chen Luo chuckled, “Don’t be afraid, my esteemed ‘big brothers.’ I’m the opposite—I don’t kill spectators.”
Chen Luo felt a bit frustrated. Did he have to personally go after Ye Gaofei?
