Killing Spree: You're Playing Cards With Me, A Magician?

Chuan Liu has always believed: “Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder.”

Therefore, the magician Chuan Liu chose the criminal exile island – “Paradise Island.”

On this islan...

Chapter 3 Ventriloquism is one of the magicians' skills.

The bespectacled man, who had been quiet all along, couldn't help but laugh out loud, which immediately ignited Xu Tianlong's anger.

Xu Tianlong, who was looking for an outlet for his anger, kicked the bespectacled man to the ground. He then pinned the man down and grabbed his hair.

"Laugh, I'll make you laugh!"

A straight punch landed squarely on the bridge of his nose, followed by a kick to his lower body. Several chaotic combos followed, with no intention of stopping.

A piercing scream echoed through the sky.

The bespectacled man panicked, blood flowed from his nose into his mouth, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"It wasn't me, I didn't say that! I was wrong, big brother, I'll never do it again!"

Seeing Xu Tianlong attacking with deadly force, Wu Fangming couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to stop him.

"Xu Tianlong, that's enough. We've all just arrived on the island, so we need to stick together and support each other."

"Who the hell would stick with you guys?!"

Xu Tianlong was caught up in the heat of the moment and turned around to punch Wu Fangming.

The next second, Wu Fangming turned around and punched Xu Tianlong in the ribs.

Xu Tianlong was in excruciating pain and still tried to launch a sneak attack, but was thrown to the ground by the former with an over-the-shoulder throw, and then pulled the bespectacled man up.

"Young man, what do you do?"

"I, I, I am the hacker Fox, 'Red Heart 8'."

"So it's a skilled trade, my apologies."

Seeing that Xu Tianlong was unable to resist, Wu Fangming introduced himself with a hint of warning:

"Wu Fangming, former international mercenary, '10 of Spades'."

The crowd gasped, and their gazes toward the man held a newfound respect.

No one noticed that Chuanliu, standing at the back of the group of eight, showed a regretful expression the moment the man stopped Xu Tianlong.

What a pity.

Xu Tianlong's temper could have stopped the conversation.

Since when can "kindness" be used to describe mercenaries?

Chuanliu found it laughable, but he didn't have time to laugh at him.

Because everyone's attention was now focused on the two remaining women.

Chuanliu and the other middle-aged woman were in perfect sync in this regard, not uttering a single word from beginning to end, minimizing their presence.

But now they have no choice but to step forward.

Middle-aged women may appear calm on the surface, but their hesitant steps betray their inner timidity.

The woman glanced at Chuan Liu and spoke first: "My surname is Wu, everyone calls me Aunt Wu. Hearts, '4 of Hearts'."

"Red Hearts? You're a tech worker like that little hacker?" someone asked.

Aunt Wu spoke haltingly, seemingly unwilling to answer the question.

Xu Tianlong lost his patience, grabbed her collar and shouted, "Speak properly to me!"

Looking at the man's fierce appearance so close to her, Aunt Wu's voice trembled: "I used to be in the sex business."

Xu Tianlong openly sized the woman up and down, his face full of disdain.

"You?"

Aunt Wu: "I, I don't do that. I'm the organizer, the one who organizes them."

Xu Tianlong released his grip: "Oh, madam."

Suddenly losing her grip on her collar, Aunt Wu fell to the ground with a thud, her legs trembling violently as if out of control.

A thought flashed through Chuanliu's mind. She buried her face in her hands, her head pressed to the lowest point, the black hoodie covering most of her face. A hoarse voice, tinged with intense sobs, came from inside the hoodie:

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

Xu Tianlong, who already had little patience, was annoyed by the noise and wanted to bypass Aunt Wu and resort to force again.

The next second, Chuanliu stumbled and fell into Wu Fangming's arms.

The oversized hat slipped down her dark hair, revealing the girl's delicate face.

From the men's perspective, Chuanliu's deliberately displayed expression was so captivating. A few strands of hair clung to his cheeks, echoing his fair skin, and the blush from his emotional excitement lingered around his eyes and the tip of his nose, making him appear pitiful.

Wu Fangming met the girl's phoenix eyes, which were streaked with tears, and felt that the woman in front of him was like a frightened fawn, easily arousing the urge to cherish her.

Undoubtedly, even a man like Wu Fangming, who had experienced many trials and tribulations, felt a stirring deep within his heart.

Of course, the man immediately came to his senses.

He immediately stood in front of Chuanliu.

"Xu Tianlong, do you want to hit a woman?"

Not only Wu Fangming, but everyone present also showed amazement upon seeing Chuanliu's appearance.

When asked the question, Xu Tianlong finally came to his senses, and his impatience instantly turned into a smile.

It's less a smile and more a display of ulterior motives.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were so deep they could trap a fly; he rubbed his hands together and deliberately puffed out his chest, trying to look like a gentleman.

"Little girl, what's your name? How old are you? Did those guys scare you just now?"

Chuanliu silently hid behind Wu Fangming, his face showing an innocent expression, and sobbed as he recited the lines he had practiced countless times in his mind:

"My name is Chuanliu, '3 of Diamonds'. I'm a student, tutoring a wealthy family. The lady of the house suspects me of having an affair with the gentleman, and I've been falsely accused of stealing..."

At this point, the girl seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and she leaned her head on Wu Fangming's arm, sobbing uncontrollably.

The men present, except for Gillian Chung, couldn't help but show expressions of envy.

Wu Fangming was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave, and stood there awkwardly, letting the girl wipe her tears and snot with his floral shirt.

Xu Tianlong completely forgot the embarrassment of being beaten just now, and shamelessly said:

"Brother likes cultured girls. Little Chuan, from now on, follow Brother Tianlong, and I'll protect you."

"Take care of yourself first."

That mocking male voice drifted over again.

Upon hearing the sound, Wu Fangming first glanced at the girl beside him, whose eyes were still filled with tears, and then looked around.

Everyone looked at Xu Tianlong with blank expressions, as if they didn't know what had happened.

It seems that only Wu Fangming and Xu Tianlong heard what was just said.

"Damn it, who's talking badly about me behind my back?!"

Those who cannot control their emotions are the easiest to be used as a weapon.

Xu Tianlong immediately looked at the weakest hacker in the room, Jihu, and vented his resentment on him regardless of whether the voice came from him or not.

I'll fuck you to death!

After saying that, he swung his fist and started hitting.

But Wu Fangming, who was prepared, naturally wouldn't let him succeed.

A broad, thick hand enveloped the punch, deflecting the force and flipping him over. In the instant Xu Tianlong lost his balance, a push and pull caused him to stagger and fall to the ground. One hand pressed down on his neck, while the other twisted his shoulder in the opposite direction.

Click.

The next second, a shrill scream rang out.

"ah!"

Xu Tianlong's arm is ruined.

Wu Fangming said coldly, "I've already warned you. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, next time it won't just be one hand that's crippled."

Xu Tianlong scrambled to his feet, his face flushed with intense pain. His eyes were filled with venom as he stared intently at Wu Fangming for a long while. Then he ran ahead into the depths of the coconut grove.

Ventriloquism is one of the skills of magicians.
