How could a guy who I don't know at all and is even hostile to me, Vander, and even the entire Black Alley, invite me over and treat me well?
What's more, it is located at the border of the Black Alley, which is beyond Vandel's control and is likely to be Hillco's territory.
This is clearly a "Hongmen Banquet" to make you fall into a trap. It has no good intentions and only a fool would do it.
"Stop, Mr. Li Lin!"
Before he could take two steps, several teenagers blocked his way again, with pleading expressions on their faces.
"We've already received the money, and we have to complete the mission. Come with us..."
"No, what does it have to do with me if you take the money? It's not me who took the money."
Although I know that a considerable number of children who grow up in Zaan without receiving much education will become gangsters.
Li Lin can understand them and sympathize with them, but this does not mean that he can be "morally kidnapped" by them at will.
What's more, they were sent by Hillco, and he happened to have more important things to do.
Li Lin's face gradually became gloomy.
Just as he was about to push these thugs away and leave, a magnetic voice came from a distance and entered his ears:
"Don't be angry. These children are uneducated and not very sensible. They spoke rashly."
Hilco...
Li Lin squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.
A middle-aged man dressed neatly and formally, with a left eye that looked like a "devil's" eye, walked out of a narrow alley with two burly men as bodyguards and a young man dressed the same as the five people in front of him.
He waved over here, and several gangster boys ran over quickly, took a purse from him, and then disappeared from Li Lin's sight with the boy next to him.
"Mr. Li Lin, I think you should know me, so I don't need to introduce myself."
Hilko had a forced smile on his face and saluted Li Lin with the poor etiquette of a Piltover noble.
He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and those teenagers were just delaying him until he arrived.
Upon seeing Xierko, Li Lin's eyes flashed with coldness. "Xierko, what do you want to do? Don't forget, this is the territory of the Black Alley, and your men can't beat me."
"You misunderstood. I didn't come to you this time to cause a conflict."
Hilco crossed his fingers and placed them in front of his chest, his calm tone giving the impression that he was the one in the upper hand.
"Then what are you doing this for?" Li Lin snorted coldly, "Don't waste time. My time is precious. I'll only give you ten seconds."
"Not even ten seconds..."
"9, 8, 7, 6, 5..."
Before Hilco finished speaking, Li Lin had already read from 10 to 3 at a very fast speed.
The corners of Hilko's mouth twitched unconsciously.
At this time, Li Lin had already finished the countdown.
"It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity. I'm leaving."
Li Lin didn't give him any time to think, nor did he intend to listen to his nonsense.
After saying this, he took a step forward and prepared to leave.
This kid is too arrogant!
Hilco suppressed his anger and said, "Wait!"
Seeing that Li Lin still had no intention of slowing down, he hurriedly said:
"I heard about you and Fandel. He doesn't seem willing to cooperate with you... but I can work with you!"
Li Lin paused, then turned around, his words filled with surprise and confusion.
"What did you say?!"
