Tiger's face instantly turned ugly, and he glared at Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you beat me up last time. This matter isn't that simple!"

Lin Yuan's tone remained relaxed.

"Brother Tiger, if you want to cause trouble, I'll play along. But I advise you to calm down and not make trouble for yourself."

Seeing Lin Yuan's composure, Tiger's henchmen became arrogant.

One of the henchmen pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and said, "Who the hell are you? How dare you act so disrespectfully in front of Brother Tiger!"

Lin Yuan smiled with narrowed eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in his gaze.

"Really? Then I'll show you whether I'm worthy of Tiger's respect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan moved and instantly appeared in front of the arrogant henchman.

He performed a set of moves on the spot, which was "A Fierce Tiger Climbs the Mountain".

He moved with agility and speed, throwing a punch that sent a whooshing sound through the air, knocking the loudest henchman to the ground.

Suddenly, the younger brother let out a shrill scream.

He covered his face tightly with both hands, and bright red blood gushed out from between his fingers like a burst dam.

In an instant, the entire scene fell into a tense, deathly silence.

Everyone around stared in disbelief at the scene, completely stunned and at a loss for what to do by Lin Yuan's sudden action.

At this moment, the man known as Tiger's face suddenly darkened.

He glared fiercely at the henchman who was lying on the ground, then raised his hand and slapped another henchman hard across the head without any mercy.

"Are you fucking tired of living? You're just asking for death!"

The innocent underling who was being beaten covered his head, which was throbbing with pain.

"Brother, I... I just said it casually, how could I have imagined that he would start hitting me without saying a word?"

However, Tiger remained unmoved, only glaring at him fiercely again, his teeth grinding together.

Finally, he squeezed out through gritted teeth, "You complete idiot! It was him last time; I was beaten so badly I was hospitalized for half a month, and you still have the nerve to challenge him!"

Upon hearing this, the younger brother was immediately bewildered and stood there dumbfounded.

"No way, last time? Bro, when exactly was last time?"

Seeing his younger brother so oblivious, Tiger Brother was so angry that his face turned red and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Last time, Xia Qingxue's damn ex-husband was in debt. I went to collect the debt, but I got a beating from him and almost lost my life!"

Upon hearing this, the other underlings present were all horrified and couldn't help but gasp.

One of the younger brothers looked terrified.

"Brother, if that's the case, then why did he come looking for us again this time? Could it be... that he came specifically to seek revenge?"

"He definitely didn't come here specifically to cause us trouble. This time he was much gentler; he was clearly giving us face."

Tiger sighed heavily, his tone filled with helplessness.

Tiger still felt lingering fear when he recalled what had happened last time.

After that incident, he made a point of going back and carefully investigating that person's background information.

You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up!

This Lin Yuan is no ordinary person.

Putting everything else aside, his bizarre background alone is enough to shock people.

His parents both passed away early, but he was still able to easily pull out hundreds of thousands of yuan to help others pay off their debts.

This guy has never seriously practiced martial arts, yet he's incredibly skilled in combat.

Just a few weeks ago, Lin Yuan broke his own arm with his bare hands!

Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but shudder.

If I accidentally provoke this guy, it's not just me personally, but the entire shady organization will suffer, and they might all be sent to be shot!

After hearing Tiger's words, the underlings turned pale with fright, and large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

They looked at each other, secretly relieved that they had such a wise and calm leader as Tiger.

So, the group said with great gratitude, "Brother Tiger, it's all thanks to your clear head, otherwise we would have been in big trouble today!"

At this moment, Tiger's mind was already racing with wild fantasies.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Yuan was mysterious and unpredictable, and that there must be an extremely powerful force and background behind him.

Tiger Brother was convinced that Lin Yuan was very likely the young master of a long-established and powerful family in the country.

Moreover, he guessed that Lin Yuan's grandfather might have been a veteran figure during the founding of the country, one of the earliest "old players" to enter the world of martial arts.

Offending someone of that caliber would have unimaginable consequences; they could wipe out these small fry in no time.

Taking them to be shot is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the departing figures of Tiger and his group.

Seeing them flee in disarray, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and a profound and unfathomable smile quietly appeared.

Sun Xinyi watched as Tiger and the others hurriedly fled, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, she turned around and faced Lin Yuan.

She raised her hand and patted Lin Yuan's broad shoulder, her gratitude evident in her expression.

"Lin Yuan, thank you so much. I don't know what would have happened today without you."
