In Lin Tian's impression, those two people should know Wang Quan; otherwise, it wouldn't explain why they spent so long talking to him.

If they weren't acquainted, they would have made a move the instant they entered the red warehouse.

But what does suddenly making a move in the middle of a conversation signify?

Could it be that the negotiations between the two parties fell through, and one side harbored murderous intent?

No matter the reason, Lin Tian's target is Wang Quan, and he must not let him escape or be killed.

Committing such heinous acts and dying so easily—wouldn't that be too easy on him!

He must face legal justice.

With this in mind, Lin Tian stealthily edged towards the front entrance of the red warehouse.

Wang Quan, terrified, ran out of the warehouse. The guard stationed at the door asked in confusion, "Quan, what's going on?"

"The people inside want to kill me, stop them quickly!" Wang Quan shouted, pointing behind him.

This guard was very loyal to Wang Quan; otherwise, he wouldn't be placed here to watch the warehouse.

But as soon as the guard rushed inside, he was kicked out by a shadowy figure moments later.

He fell heavily to the ground, trying to get up with a pained expression.

Alas, before he could stand, a glinting knife was plunged into his chest.

Even in death, disbelief filled this guard's eyes.

Two trained fighters, easily dispatched—Lin Tian watching from the shadows was dumbfounded.

If he truly went out, would he stand a chance against them?

"Mr. Wang, stop running; it's useless!"

Meichuan Kuzi pulled out a white cloth from his pocket to wipe blood off his blade, yelling at the fleeing Wang Quan.

Wang Quan glanced back to see the guard, moments ago alive, now lying in a pool of blood, his face turned beet red.

Without another word, he continued to sprint.

Seeing this, Meichuan Kuzi suddenly grasped a triangular shuriken in his right hand and flung it forward with force.

"Ah!"

Wang Quan screamed, stumbled from the blow, and fell hard to the ground.

Blood gushed from his right leg, where the shuriken was lodged deeply.

With that injury, Wang Quan couldn't run even if he wanted to.

Meichuan Kuzi and his companion advanced slowly towards Wang Quan, who looked at them in agony.

He roared hysterically, "Where did I go wrong? I did so much for you, got you whatever you wanted, and now that I'm in trouble, not only do you not save me, but you want to kill me!"

"You're entangled in too many secrets. If the Celestial Dragon Continent police find out, Mr. Zhuge will have unnecessary trouble!"

Meichuan Kuzi's mouth curled into a cold smile, "So the only choice is to kill you, hiding the truth!"

"Damn Sakula Country bastards, you're truly disgusting!" Wang Quan, knowing his end, cursed.

"A traitor like you who betrays your country—who knows if you'll betray Mr. Zhuge too!" Meichuan Kuzi lifted his gleaming knife, reflecting the cold light of the moon.

"My folly led me to mix with you beasts!" Wang Quan's heart was now filled with regret and self-reproach.

Regret for betraying the nation that birthed and raised him.

Remorse for his past actions, causing loss to his country's interests.

Anguish over not realizing this sooner...

Now it was all too late. Bitterly, Wang Quan ground his teeth at the two before him, "Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!"

"Even as a ghost, you're a traitor!" Meichuan Kuzi sneered,

words that sent Wang Quan into hysterical laughter, mocking his own ignorance, his own foolishness...

"Goodbye!" Meichuan Kuzi said, thrusting his knife with force at Wang Quan's heart.

In a flash, Lin Tian picked up a stone and hurled it forcefully at the cold blade.

"Buzz!"

The stone struck the knife, causing it to vibrate incessantly.

The force of the thrown stone was evident.

This thrust was deflected by Meichuan Kuzi.

Instinctively, Meichuan Kuzi and his companion turned to look back.

A shadow rushed towards them, aiming a punch at Meichuan Kuzi's face.

Acting on reflex, Meichuan Kuzi blocked the punch with his free left hand.

For a moment, Meichuan Kuzi felt as if it wasn't a fist, but iron sheathed his hand.

Agony radiated from his wrist through his entire body, twisting Meichuan Kuzi's expression in pain.

The shadow, having succeeded, didn't pause and kicked at Meichuan Kuzi's companion, whose body flew back bizarrely, defying gravity.

Having forced the duo back, Lin Tian positioned himself between Wang Quan and the two.

"Who are you?" Meichuan Kuzi's left hand trembled violently as he looked at Lin Tian with grave eyes.

"None of your business!" Lin Tian carefully eyed his opponent.

"You... are you?" The dying Wang Quan was surprised to have someone rescue him, believing them to be the Celestial Dragon Continent police, only to realize who it was.

He shouted in surprise, "You're Lin Tian?"

"Shut your damn mouth! You smuggled relics and stole military secrets for them, and now they're going to kill you—serves you right!" Lin Tian snapped.

"I..." Wang Quan was left speechless.

Resolving within him, he decided not to collude with these Sakula Country people any longer: "Brother, if you can save me today, I'll go back with you willingly and confess everything I know!"

"You want to kill me, I'll make it hard for you!" Wang Quan grit his teeth at Meichuan Kuzi.

Having faced death and betrayal, Wang Quan now trusted only in his country.

"You bastard!" Meichuan Kuzi cursed, "You'll both die today!"

Bastard?

This Sakula Country man dared to curse me?

Lin Tian was not one to back down. He pointed at his adversary, cursing, "You idiot, you bastard..."

A string of curses followed, omitted due to explicit content!!!

"Make a move. I'll hold him off, you kill Wang Quan!" Meichuan Kuzi instructed his partner.

The adversary had only one person who could fight, while they had two. Spurred by Wang Quan's words, Meichuan Kuzi just wanted to finish off Wang Quan quickly.

Fearing any delay could change the situation!

"Can you still run?" Lin Tian asked without turning his head.

"I can't run anymore!" Wang Quan frowned in pain.

"Run even if you can't. If you don't want to die, run!"

As Lin Tian spoke, Meichuan Kuzi and his companion made their move.

One from the ground, another from above, approached swiftly.

Indeed, the other person seemed to fly in the air, leaving Lin Tian dumbstruck...
