A horrifying killing intent surged forward, causing the temperature in the security room to plummet in an instant. Ma Datong's eyes locked sharply onto Lin Xiao, looking as if he were about to deliver a lethal blow at any second.

Yet Lin Xiao was smiling. Because, although Ma Datong's murderous aura was terrifying, to him, it was as weak as children playing house. His smile was filled with disdain.

"Kid, what are you laughing at?" Ma Datong asked coldly.

"At your foolishness!"

Ma Datong sneered. "So, you think you're strong?"

"Strong or not, why don't you find out for yourself?"

"Alright then, I'll give it a try!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Ma Datong lunged toward Lin Xiao like lightning, his ferocious speed carrying a terrifying momentum. Lin Xiao, however, stood perfectly still.

As Ma Datong closed in, Lin Xiao casually waved his hand.

In that instant, Ma Datong felt an earth-shattering power rushing toward him. His expression froze, and a hint of terror surfaced in his eyes. He instinctively tried to retreat, but Lin Xiao gave him no such opportunity. Just as Ma Datong's body recoiled, Lin Xiao's hand shot out and clamped around his throat.

THUD!

Ma Datong heard a sickening crunch, and by the time he could process what had happened, he was already crumpled on the ground. An intense pain shot from the back of his head, making him feel as if he were about to die. A deeper agony, one that seemed to touch his very soul, made him stare at Lin Xiao in utter terror.

Lin Xiao sneered, "A mere Earth Level Martial Artist dares to challenge me? Who gave you the courage!"

Ma Datong's mind went completely blank. This filthy beggar had seen through his cultivation level with a single glance, which could only mean that his own cultivation was far, far superior.

"Kid, what... what is your cultivation level?" Ma Datong choked out, his voice a hoarse rasp from the grip on his throat. It was a voice thick with fear.

"Guess."

Ma Datong was rendered speechless.

Lin Xiao's voice turned cold. "Go on. What are your last words?"

Last words? This filthy beggar is going to kill me?

Ma Datong panicked immediately. He roared, "Kid, don't be a fool! I'm one of the King of Jinling City's men! If you kill me, the King won't let you off!"

Lin Xiao scoffed with disdain. "I've already killed Liu San and Zhao Tieshan. Do you think I'm afraid of a mere King of Jinling City?"

His words pierced Ma Datong's heart like a sword, sealing his death sentence. He looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes filled with terror. Only now did he realize what a colossally stupid thing he had done. He wanted to beg for mercy. He didn't want to die. But he couldn't find the words.

"Looks like you have no last words. Fine, I'll send you on your way now," Lin Xiao said suddenly, his voice glacial.

Ma Datong was desperate. He knew this beggar really would kill him.

"Kid, you..."

CRACK.

Lin Xiao snapped his neck. Just as he was about to clean up, the door to the security room was pushed open and Pei Donglai walked in.

Seeing the scene, Pei Donglai was momentarily taken aback. "Captain, what happened?" he asked quickly.

"Nothing much. Just some blind fool who came looking for death."

Pei Donglai nodded. "Captain, leave it to me."

"No need. I plan to personally deliver this to the so-called King of Jinling City... and kill him while I'm at it."

Pei Donglai's eyes widened in shock. The King of Jinling City was the ruler of the city's underworld and, more importantly, a subordinate of the King of the Southern Town. If Lin Xiao killed him, the King of the Southern Town would definitely not let it go.

Pei Donglai knew Lin Xiao's background was impressive, but surely not strong enough to challenge the King of Jinling City, let alone his master. Frankly, although Pei Donglai, as the esteemed War God of the Western Region, looked down on the King of Jinling City, even he was somewhat intimidated when facing the King of the Southern Town. After all, that man's identity and background were simply too astounding.

Could it be that the Captain doesn't know that the King of Jinling City is a subordinate of the King of the Southern Town?

Thinking this, Pei Donglai hurriedly said, "Captain, the King of Jinling City is backed by the King of the Southern Town."

Lin Xiao knew what he meant. He just smiled. "I know."

Pei Donglai was startled once more.

The Captain knew the King of Jinling City was Xiao Shixiong's subordinate, yet he still dared to act against him? What did that imply? Could it be that his identity and background were even more terrifying than Xiao Shixiong's? If the Captain's identity truly was more terrifying than that of the King of the Southern Town, then who was the Captain? Could he be... that legendary...

Pei Donglai didn't dare to finish the thought. He sucked in a sharp breath.

"Captain, what do you need me to do?" Pei Donglai asked quickly.

Lin Xiao waved his hand. "Are those two pieces of trash dead yet?"

Pei Donglai nodded at once. "They're dead. I staged a car accident and sent them straight to the afterlife."

"Good work."

"It's my duty, Captain!"

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, then. You keep a close watch on the bar. If anyone comes looking for my wife again, you make sure to stop them!" he declared in a cold voice.

Pei Donglai swore an oath. "Captain, rest assured! This time, I will not let a single person in, nor will I allow anyone to threaten Madam Su's safety!"

Honestly, even though Lin Xiao hadn't punished him, Pei Donglai felt awful. He felt he had failed in his duty today. The Captain had been so good to him, practically giving him a new lease on life, yet he had failed to do the job of a simple guard and had allowed the Captain's wife to be put in danger.

Damn it all!

Lin Xiao noticed his self-reproach and said calmly, "Today wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself."

Pei Donglai was so moved he wanted to kneel. "Captain, how about I take this trash back to the King of Jinling City?"

"No need!"

With that, Lin Xiao dragged Ma Datong's body out of the security room, dumped it into the man's car, then got behind the wheel and floored the accelerator. The vehicle sped toward the residence of the King of Jinling City.

The King's mansion was located in the most prime district of Jinling City. It couldn't be helped; as a subordinate of the King of the Southern Town who loved to show off, he lived in extreme luxury.

Less than half an hour later, they arrived.

The moment Lin Xiao got out of the car, more than a dozen burly men appeared as if they had sprung from the earth itself, all of them glaring at him with murderous intent.

"Kid, this ain't a place for you! Scram now, or don't blame us for being impolite!" the speaker, a skinny man with a vicious scar across his face, snarled.

"I have business with the King of Jinling City!"

"What business?"

"I'm here to deliver a special gift," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
