"Came too quickly, forgot to bring some fruit or anything. Please forgive me."

"Hmph." David gave a cold snort, "Just say what you need to."

"Then I'll get straight to the point; I'm in a hurry, no time to chit-chat." Xiaofan took a knife from the cabinet and casually peeled an apple.

"I'm not eating." David said coldly.

"I'm eating. Haven't had anything all day." Xiaofan continued peeling, then naturally asked, "Speaking of which, your large group came all the way to our Capital City, yet only you participated in the competition. What about the others?"

"That's our business, nothing to do with you."

"But if they're planning to harm our Huaxia citizens, then it's a big deal." Xiaofan's voice suddenly turned grave.

"You, what do you mean?" David suddenly looked at Xiaofan in disbelief.

"What exactly are they up to? Who is your target?" Xiaofan didn't waste any more words and asked directly.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"I'll ask you one more time. Who is your target?" Xiaofan's voice turned icy cold in that instant.

"Hmph..."

David believed Xiaofan couldn't do anything to him. After all, his identity in the country wasn't low. Who would dare trouble him even if he was caught? In the end, wouldn't they have to negotiate to send him safely back home?

But...

'Tear.'

David's palm suddenly hurt, and when he came to his senses, the dagger in Xiaofan's hand was already stabbed into his palm.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" David shouted angrily, enduring the pain.

"Wow, didn't even cry out, quite the tough guy. Don't worry, I have other methods." Saying this, Xiaofan took out a toothpick, grabbed the immobilized David, pulled out his fingers, and inserted the toothpick directly between his fingernails and flesh.

"Ah... Bastard, stop, stop..."

"One. Will you talk?"

"Bastard... How dare you..."

"Second one."

"Ah..."

"Third one..."

Xiaofan continued until all five fingers were done, then pulled the toothpicks out. David wailed in pain. But this ward was of the highest class, with excellent soundproofing. Who could hear his cries?

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you." David yelled frantically.

"Relax, I won't give you that chance. Your operation is at ten sharp, there are three hours left. So, if you don't talk, the only option is to kill you." Xiaofan was both threatening and not lying.

"You, you can't possibly kill me, you can't kill me." David suddenly got scared. This kid was ruthless, he might really do something outrageous.

"I'm out of time. Ten seconds countdown... ten, nine, eight..."

"Don't scare me, if you kill me, you won't get away either."

"Four, three, two..."

"You..."

"One." As the word fell, a cold light flashed, and the fruit knife slashed toward David's carotid artery.

"Stop, I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"That's more like it." Xiaofan stopped in time, coldly watching the other, waiting for the answer.

"You have to promise me, if I talk, you won't kill me." David trembled as he asked.

"I promise, anyway, once the plan is exposed, you can't escape either." Xiaofan replied honestly.

"Fine, our initial target was an official in your country. I was originally to lead my team in action. But now I'm injured, so I haven't received any information. If you say they'll act at ten, it's possible." Knowing he might die, David shared the information with Xiaofan.

"And what's your connection with Red Butterfly?" Xiaofan continued to ask.

"How do you know about Red Butterfly?" David asked in surprise.

"Answer."

"The connection isn't large; initially, for better mission completion, we wanted to involve Red Butterfly. But it seems our higher-ups didn't want to owe Red Butterfly too many favors, so they had us do it. If anything goes wrong here, Red Butterfly might act soon after." David answered truthfully.

"What's the name of that official?" Xiaofan finally asked the key question.

"He, he's called Ye Dahe."

What? Ye Dahe?

Hearing this name, Xiaofan was suddenly shocked. Ye Dahe was his uncle, wasn't he? Damn, his uncle's place was a distance from here; if he rushed over now, would there still be time?

"You promised you wouldn't kill me."

"I'm not killing you. Come in." Xiaofan said coldly.

At that moment, a figure walked in from the balcony door.

Seeing this person, David's look of terror reappeared.

"Ye, Ye Xiaofan, you, you lied, you said you wouldn't kill me."

Yes, standing in front of him was Lei Xiaolei, who had been waiting outside to take revenge. Xiaofan had just timely stopped him from acting. Now that Xiaofan's matter was settled, it was his turn.

"I did say I wouldn't kill, but I never promised to stop others from killing you." Xiaofan said, tossing the fruit knife to Xiaolei, calmly turned his head to leave the balcony, "Remember to clean the fingerprints."

For a traitor who betrayed his master, completely disregarding the bond of teacher and student, Xiaofan had no sympathy at all. Such a person was not worth sparing, helping Lei Xiaolei get his revenge was just convenient.

Moments later, Lei Xiaolei also slowly stepped out of the balcony. He knelt in front of Xiaofan with a thud. This time, Xiaofan did not stop him; he had earned it.

"Thank you. From now on, Lei Xiaolei is at your service."

"You'd better see if you can go back to Yanhuang Soul. Since we've known each other, if there's a chance, we can meet again, have a drink, chat, forget about serving me. By the way, if you can contact anyone from Yanhuang Soul, please ask them to protect Ye Dahe as soon as possible. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, I'll notify my former teammates, where are you going?"

"Ye Dahe is my uncle; I have to hurry to save him." Saying this, Xiaofan leaped off the third-floor balcony like a streak.

"I'm coming too." Lei Xiaolei wanted to quickly follow, but as he leaped off the balcony, he lost sight of Xiaofan completely.

"So fast." With a silent sigh, Lei Xiaolei also quickly left the scene. With his family vengeance settled, he now had face to see his father. However, in the remaining days of his life, if he couldn't return to Yanhuang Soul, he should do as Xiaofan said, find a wife, have kids, and inform his family.
