"I apparently inherited a nearly bankrupt bookstore!" Lin Xi stared intently at the dusty old bookstore, while his assistant looked utterly confused. Was the boss losing his mind? Even hand...
However, Lin Xi was a martial artist after all, and his reaction was quick. He steadied himself and retreated to the side.
Li Wei's attack missed, and his face turned ferocious.
He did not attack again, but turned to flee.
But as he turned around, Lin Xi kicked Li Wei in the body.
Li Wei flew away like a bird with broken wings, only to crash heavily to the ground.
"ah!"
Seeing their brother severely injured by Lin Xi, the men roared and charged madly at Lin Xi, surrounding him completely.
With each slap, Lin Xi had already taken many punches and kicks.
Seeing his brothers attack him, Lin Xi's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of anger.
"You bunch of useless trash, you think you can help Li Wei deal with me?"
Lin Xi roared at his men around him.
Upon hearing this, fear was evident on the faces of the underlings.
They clearly remembered the authority of Lin Xi's father, Lin Jianye, under whose control the Lin family had become the second largest power in Jiangcheng!
"Lin Xi, you forced me to do this!" Li Wei sneered, then gripped the dagger tightly with both hands and stabbed at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi lightly leaped to avoid the dagger, while simultaneously grabbing Li Wei's wrist that was holding the dagger.
"ah!"
With his wrist restrained, Li Wei cried out in pain and immediately released the dagger, which fell to the ground.
Looking at the sharp dagger on the ground, Lin Xi's eyes gleamed with excitement: "I really like this dagger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi bent down, picked up the dagger, and then stabbed Li Wei with it.
Upon seeing this, Li Wei's pupils dilated suddenly, his eyes filled with terror.
Instantly, bright red blood gushed from Li Wei's neck.
"ah!"
Blood gushed out, and the stench filled the room, making people nauseous.
Witnessing their comrade fall to Lin Xi's sword, the other subordinates all showed expressions of fear.
Although they were street thugs, they were not stupid. They knew that Lin Xi's background was unfathomable and that they were powerless to fight against him.
At this moment, escape became their only hope. A thought flashed through their minds, and they exchanged glances before scattering and fleeing in all directions, attempting to escape this place.
Seeing this, Lin Xi raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Stop right there!"
"Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi gripped his sword tightly and hurried after the thugs.
Lin Xi was agile and quickly caught up with the thugs. Seeing this, the thugs' faces were filled with despair.
They understood that their fate had come to an end.
Bang!
Lin Xi kicked one of the thugs in the chest. The man flew out like a cannonball, crashed into the wall, bled profusely, and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The remaining thugs were terrified and stumbled as they fled towards the stairwell, trying to escape Lin Xi's pursuit.
However, how could Lin Xi let them escape?
"Get back here!"
Lin Xi roared and charged at the thugs again.
The thugs were too slow to dodge Lin Xi's attacks. In the blink of an eye, they were all subdued by Lin Xi.
By this time, Lin Xi had dealt with all the thugs. "Li Wei, no one can save you this time!" Lin Xi glanced at Li Wei's ferocious face, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Watching Lin Xi's retreating figure, Li Wei gritted his teeth. He knew that if they couldn't survive, his parents would face imprisonment.
Thinking of this, a deep hatred ignited in Li Wei's heart. He vowed to take revenge on Lin Xi and seek justice for his dead brothers!
Lin Xi disappeared at the bottom of the stairs. Li Wei, enduring the pain, staggered over to his men, looted their belongings, and then dragged his weary body toward the door.
Lin Xi arrived at the door, pushed open the iron gate, and walked into the distance. The thugs, seeing this, were filled with astonishment.
What's going on?
They couldn't understand how a human could possess such power.
At that moment, they noticed the thug lying in a pool of blood, their pupils instantly contracted, and their faces were filled with terror.
"Oh no! He...he killed someone! He killed someone!"
The thugs screamed and scattered in all directions. At that moment, Lin Xi's gaze was fixed on them, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Didn't you want to run away?"
"Now, let you taste the price of running away!"
Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, all the thugs turned deathly pale.
They never dreamed that Lin Xi would suddenly take action and eliminate their accomplices without hesitation.
They were well aware of Lin Xi's strength; if he truly wanted to take their lives, they would have no chance of survival.
Looking into Lin Xi's piercingly cold eyes, they felt a chill run through their bodies.
"We were wrong, please let us go!"
A daring thug stared at Lin Xi, pleading in a trembling voice.
Lin Xi glanced at the thug's disheveled state and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
He remained silent, simply gazing at the crowd, awaiting their response.
He understood that these thugs would eventually have to bow down to him.
Feeling Lin Xi's cold gaze, they trembled all over, as if they were in an ice cellar.
They knew that if they didn't yield, a terrible fate awaited them! Besides, they had no bargaining power left!
Thinking of this, they all knelt down.
"Boss, please forgive us! We know we were wrong!"
Seeing this, Lin Xi shook her head slightly and said, "Too late!"
After saying that, he strode forward and slowly walked towards the group of thugs.
"ah!"
The thugs looked terrified; they hadn't expected Lin Xi to be so ruthless.
"Boss, don't kill us! We're willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
A thug shouted loudly.
Do you think I'll believe you?
Lin Xi looked at him and asked with a cold smile.
