The Axe Gang members were waiting on the first floor; they looked hostile. The hotel owner, who had been there earlier, had disappeared as soon as they entered.
"Come with us!" The leader was extremely arrogant, shouting as he saw Liu Nian approaching.
If you speak properly, I'll go with you. Liu Nian's eyes turned cold as she said that.
"A good dog doesn't block the way!" He was secretly on guard, sizing up the group of people.
There were eight people in total, all of them melee fighters, which was clearly evident from their weapons.
Seemingly used to being arrogant and never treated like this before, the Axe Gang members were somewhat enraged.
The leader sneered, "You and your companions are a bunch of reckless fools. Everyone, beat him to death. He's just an outsider."
The leader's words gave him a bad feeling. Liu Nian was about to speak, but the group didn't give him a chance and rushed forward with their weapons.
One of them shouted, "That's right, a little brat is still being stubborn, saying that Brother Nian will come back and avenge him. Bah, you've offended the Axe Gang, and you'll die here too."
Finally, the words "revenge" triggered Liu Nian's nerves, and he decided to stop holding back.
It's best if it's fake, otherwise you'll regret being alive. Leave one alive to ask questions, the rest... no mercy!
A dark space suddenly opened up in mid-air, and a group of flying units rushed towards the group.
They were originally heading towards Liu Nian, but now it looked like they were delivering food; the moment the flight unit landed, they surrounded them.
The vampires' attack on these low-magic-resistance minions was like a game-changer, especially with the presence of slowing spirits interfering from the sidelines.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, one of the henchmen risked throwing his weapon at Liu Nian.
Just as the knife was about to strike Liu Nian, a light blue shield opened and deflected it.
After losing his weapon, he was drained of his blood by vampires amidst screams of agony.
His death screams greatly spurred the others, making them even more timid and hesitant, completely losing their previous arrogance.
But Liu Nian would not forgive them just because they were timid and hesitant; only dead enemies are good enemies.
When the vampires finally pushed the underling in front of Liu Nian, he was no longer as arrogant as before. His weapon had fallen from his hand, and he was kneeling on the ground, repeatedly saying, "Don't kill me..."
Liu Nian suppressed his anxiety. He needed information. Since his return, everything had gone off track, and he needed to know exactly what had happened.
I learned about what happened from the leaders on the ground, bit by bit.
It turned out that after Liu Nian left, Zhao Tianlin and his group returned to the Axe Gang. The gang leader and the others discussed it and concluded that Liu Nian was not the Night Walker.
Because even if Zhao Tianlin, who is ranked third, couldn't do it, it wouldn't be possible even if the Axe Gang were to gather its strength.
The matter should have ended there, but Liang Kuan refused to accept it.
What ranking list of experts, what night walker? I thought he was a celebrity, but it turns out he's just a name.
Liang Kuan is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!
He waited and waited, only to receive this result, which made him feel insulted, and he had to respond.
His father was right there, and seeing his son's expression, he knew what his son was thinking.
He looked at the dog sitting below him and asked kindly, "Does this Everlasting Regret Mercenary Group have any influence?"
"No, they're just someone who follows us around trying to make a living. No powerful force is paying attention to them," Gouzi said truthfully, fully aware of the situation.
After careful consideration, Liang Kun felt that the mercenary group was nothing special, and it wasn't a big deal to vent his anger for his son. At worst, he could just pay some medical expenses.
Moreover, now is the time for his son to establish his authority, so we shouldn't interfere too much and dampen his spirit.
Since that Liu Nian is nobody, let's teach him a lesson!
Even if the dog has many doubts about what the big shots have decided, he can only swallow them.
Otherwise, questioning the strength of the third-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking would be a sign of one's own ignorance.
Because of a fabricated charge, the person who was deeply saddened by the separation didn't even have a chance to explain before being ambushed and beaten on the roadside.
"If you fall behind, you'll be bullied. That's only because I don't want to fight you today," Liang Kuan said casually, stepping on Ye Muli's head who was kneeling on the ground.
"I feel you don't respect me now, is that reason enough?" Looking at Ye Muli, who was standing on the ground indignant, Liang Kuan hated those eyes. He needed the other person to be afraid.
The innocent Yang Li was dragged out and beaten to death in front of him.
This tragic scene filled those who had longed for separation with grief and indignation. Ye Muli struggled to shake off the foot above her head and lunged forward to bite Liang Kuan's thigh.
Liang Kuan felt a pain in his leg, and his men quickly pulled Ye Muli away.
The onlookers around laughed at the sight, the pain in their legs far outweighing the humiliation of losing face.
As the young leader of the Axe Gang, he had never suffered such humiliation before, and he was furious and humiliated: "Beat him to death!"
"Where is this place?" Liu Nian vaguely recalled the area where he had just been surrounded, but he wasn't sure.
"I've said everything I needed to say, right next to the central square. Could you please be lenient and let me go..." Before he could finish speaking, he was drained dry by the vampire.
Liu Nian didn't know what to feel at this moment. He quickly walked to the side of the central square. Most of the onlookers had already left, leaving only the corpse on the ground.
He was in despair. The realization that all the familiar people were lying there quietly caused a corner of his heart to crumble.
The bodies were already cold. Liu Nian took out bed sheets from his spatial storage and covered them one by one.
With each cover he puts on, his heart feels a little less, and his anger intensifies.
Until he saw Ye Muli, who was no longer the same as he had been that morning, just as he was about to cover him with a white sheet, a faint voice rang out: "Nian... Brother?"
“I’m here.” Liu Nian grasped his cold hand.
"Humility, honesty, compassion, courage, sacrifice, honor, soul, justice." Ye Muli's voice grew softer and softer as he anxiously searched for something with his other hand.
Liu Nian looked at his broken sword lying not far away, picked it up, and handed it to him.
After gripping the sword hilt, Ye Muli struggled to open his eyes, holding the sword tip downwards against his chest: "I will follow you, my brother, my commander, my king..."
The sunlight shone on his face, making him look just like a knight from ancient times.
Liu Nian took the book out of his backpack, gently placed it in his arms, looked at it deeply, and then lowered the curtain.
It felt cool on my face, like something had fallen on it. The sandstorm was quite strong today, Liu Nian thought.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and walked resolutely in one direction; there was a score to settle!
