At this moment, Locke, who was always arrogant, was completely terrified. He staggered and pushed his way through the crowd, making a difficult move toward the second floor.
The conglomerate's bodyguards also felt fear, and some almost couldn't help but want to run away, but what awaited them was like harvesting wheat, one by one falling down in a bizarre way.
Sometime later, the gunfire from the underground hot spring stopped, but no one came up.
The continuous gunshots and the smell of blood finally roused the men and women who were lost in their reverie.
Women and men screamed and fled, and the entire bar was thrown into chaos.
The remaining thirty-odd K Group bodyguards didn't get a clear look at the man's tall figure until just before their deaths.
The man wore a black shirt and trousers, his slightly open collar revealing his delicate collarbone. His handsome features were even more eye-catching. The gold-rimmed glasses made him look refined, but the coldness in his eyes made him seem like the Grim Reaper, there to reap souls.
Lu Yan was the first person to single-handedly infiltrate the K Group's headquarters.
But his next actions became a permanent nightmare for the K Group's bodyguards.
Speed, strength, and reaction time—the power of the Bai family bloodline was brought to its peak, coupled with his decisive swordsmanship and accurate marksmanship.
Amidst the frenzied drumbeats of the disco music, one K Group bodyguard after another met their untimely deaths, and even the head of the K Group headquarters could not escape the call of death.
However, in reality, Lu Yan spent no more than five minutes from the start of the battle to the end.
He wasn't even hit by a single bullet; his face and body were splattered with other people's blood, and the red on his handsome cheeks made him look even more sinister.
On the other side, a thin man with brown hair and white skin came up from the third basement level. This was the person that Lu Yan had previously arranged to work for the K Group.
"Young Master Lu, the matter has been resolved." The skinny man, covered in blood and riddled with bullets, still bravely climbed up.
However, a sudden change occurred!
The skinny man suddenly raised his gun and pulled the trigger at Lu Yan.
Almost simultaneously, Lu Yan fired his gun.
Peng!
Peng!
Lu Yan was even faster than the skinny man. The skinny man screamed and was thrown two or three meters away. He lay motionless on the ground, coughing up blood. He had been shot through the lung, and death was only a matter of time.
Lu Yan fared much better, only being shot in the abdomen.
However, it was not just a bullet. The drug carried by the bullet entered his body through his bloodstream. Immediately, his previously numb nerves were stimulated, and excruciating pain spread throughout his body. His throat tightened, and he tasted blood.
There's something wrong with the bullets.
Based on what Locke of the K Foundation had said earlier, Lu Yan was certain that he had been set up.
Lu Yan's face was dark as he stepped on the man's chest, his murderous aura palpable. "Who sent you?"
The skinny man coughed up mouthfuls of blood, but then burst into maniacal laughter. "Ten years ago, when you killed my father, did you ever imagine this day would come? The good stuff in my bullets was specially researched by the K Consortium to deal with you. Hahahaha, enjoy the feeling of death!"
The human skin mask on the thin man's face lost its effectiveness and cracked, revealing the skin color of a Chinese person; this person was in disguise.
Moreover, it was a face that Lu Yan recognized; it was one of the people who ignored the deaths of his parents twenty years ago.
He executed one of them ten years ago.
Cause and effect, the cycle of reincarnation.
But now is not the time for him to think.
The distant sound of police sirens outside the bar brought Lu Yan back to his senses. He ended the skinny man's life with a single shot and quickly went to the unattended underground "vault." Without even glancing at the stacks of US dollars taller than a person and the gold bars, he only took the contents of a small safe.
Then a fire was set, burning all that ill-gotten wealth.
Although this is not the K Group's only location for its reserves, the contents of that safe are deadly.
Even after Su Bei returned, the K Group was destined to decline and was gradually dismantled. They were forced to compensate for the losses caused by their previous monopoly and unfair business practices. Even the directors of the K Group were sent to court and sentenced. Su Bei also paid the price.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Once the polar night begins in City M, all residents close their doors and lock their windows, and they don't even go downstairs easily.
The polar night, which lasts for months and is accompanied by heavy snow, means that even if you call for help among the sparse buildings, no one may answer.
As the fire engulfed the bar, the masked bodyguards who had been waiting nearby, like jackals smelling the scent, chased after Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's condition was also bad; the poison was more insane than he had imagined.
Enraged, the other board members of the K Group sent their men into the night to hunt him down.
Those "jackals" seized this opportunity.
To their shock, Lu Yan, like a cunning wolf, swiftly concealed his tracks in the darkness. Even with their hunting dogs, it took them a long time to find the bloodstained footprints leading to the dense forest on the ridge.
He hid for more than 5 hours.
The pine forest was vast, and if he hadn't been poisoned, he might have had a way to get out, but now he could only hide in the deep mountains for the time being. Unfortunately, his phone had been destroyed in the previous gunfight, but he was confident that the locator on his body could find him.
When he found a large tree for temporary shelter, he still made sure to clean up his footprints and bloodstains, and then climbed up to two-thirds of the height of the large pine tree.
Almost as soon as he climbed up, the first search team passed by, but they did not find him.
The loss of blood, the intense depletion of his strength, and the pain he hadn't felt in a long time actually made his mind clearer. After bandaging his wound with a simple bandage on the tree, he waited until the bodyguard was far away before jumping down and heading into the depths of the jungle with the wind. In this vast primeval cedar forest, there were only occasional abandoned houses scattered around.
