"Bingdilian?"

Xu Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow! He had previously ordered He Si to search for Bingdilian, but had never received any results. Unexpectedly, this camping trip had accidentally led him right to the guy.

It seemed that Bingdilian's visit to Huaxia was indeed to kill members of the Xia Family…

Thinking this, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh. It looked like Bingdilian's ninety-five percent mission completion rate was about to drop.

It was one thing to upset Qin Mengyue, but for this guy to dare target his wife?

Driven by hatred through association, Xu Fan snorted coldly and delivered a slap directly across the face of the man before him.

"Let's go, take me to meet your boss, the so-called Bingdilian."

"Yes… yes…"

He was just a subordinate of Bingdilian, with average strength. Facing an expert like Xu Fan, he had been scared out of his wits and didn't dare to refuse.

Muttering acquiescently, he nodded and then led Xu Fan to their hiding spot.

On the way, Xu Fan managed to extract some information.

Bingdilian had been hired for a large sum to come to Huaxia, with the mission to completely eliminate the Family Head of the Xia Family.

The Clan Leader of the Jinling Xia Family, which was Xia Xiaodie's grandfather, had passed away years earlier, and the role of the family's spokesman had passed to Xia Xiaodie's father.

Xia Hengzhou, Xia Xiaodie's father, was undoubtedly the outstanding figure of his generation, excelling in both the literary and martial fields.

Under his leadership, the Xia Family not only survived the loss of the old patriarch but also emerged as a formidable force, capable of competing with other major families in Jinling!

However, the good times didn't last long. The year before last, Xia Hengzhou vanished without a trace, leaving only a family letter appointing his eldest daughter, Xia Yanyu, as the Clan Leader.

Xia Yanyu, accepting her father's command, became the current commander of the Xia Family, managing all family affairs as a woman.

In the past two years, under her management, the status of the Xia Family hadn't grown, but it hadn't declined either.

But if Xia Xiaodie and Xia Yanyu were to die, the Xia Family would surely face a major shake-up— or even complete destruction!

This was the employer's purpose for hiring Bingdilian to come to Huaxia!

Currently, Bingdilian had kidnapped Xia Xiaodie, and it was believed that the next target would be her, Xia Yanyu.

Whether this was due to other members of the Xia Family coveting the position of Clan Leader, or due to business rivals of Xia Yanyu, Xu Fan was unsure.

He only knew one thing — anyone who touched people close to him, or disturbed his peaceful life, must die!

"We, we've arrived…"

Under the supervision of Bingdilian's subordinate, Xu Fan soon arrived at their campsite.

He stopped and looked ahead, where in the distance within the woods, a few tents were pitched.

A few men in tank tops were stationed at the entrance of the tents.

"Let's go."

This guy probably hadn't lied to him. Xu Fan kicked the man and instructed him to lead the way to the tents.

"Who goes there!"

Before they even got close to the tents, the men stationed outside spotted Xu Fan approaching with his companion.

"Dongming, who is this guy! And where is Chong Sheng?"

These men, all underlings brought from Vietnam by Bingdilian, saw Dongming bringing a stranger and wore faces full of suspicion.

"Heh heh, no need for introductions."

Seeing his companion Dongming about to signal and explain to his mates, Xu Fan playfully patted him on the shoulder, causing him to shiver in fright and immediately clam up.

Clearing his throat under the puzzled gazes of the group, Xu Fan bellowed towards the tents,

"Bingdilian, your daddy is here!"

"Are you seeking death!"

Dongming's expression had already made these few members feel something was off, and now, without any hesitation, they saw Xu Fan directly calling the boss "son" and raised their guns!

"Don't! Don't shoot! I! I don't want to die!"

Before Xu Fan could react, Dongming, seeing his companion raise the gun, recklessly started to wave his hands.

He knew very well that if his companion fired, he would definitely be used as a human shield by the man behind him!

He didn't want to die!

"Who is it?"

At that moment, a low voice came from the central tent.

Though the person wasn't seen, these simple three words carried a majesty, dominance, and a bone-deep intent to kill.

It was as if Xu Fan's shout had awoken a tiger choosing someone to devour!

"Boss, Dongming brought someone back, seems like, not a friend…"

The members guarding outside the tent were incredibly respectful toward the person inside, and now explained with a face full of fear.

"Hmph…"

Followed by a displeased grunt, the tent flap was lifted, and a burly figure walked out from inside.

The man stepping out of the tent was bald, with a towering stature nearly 1.9 meters tall, his square face framed with thick eyebrows over fierce eyes, exuding a commanding presence!

Beyond his short sleeves, the exposed dark muscles bulged like mountains, hiding untold fearsome strength!

This was a real tough guy, but the sinister blood-red lotus flower on his shiny bald head made his entire persona incredibly malevolent!

Under his subordinates' attentiveness, he stepped out of the tent, squinting his fierce eyes slightly, and after giving Xu Fan a quick look, his lips curved into a malevolent smile.

"Young man, don't you know, you've entered a tiger's den?"

His tone was thick with mockery and disdain, even though the unassuming youth in front of him was currently holding his trusted subordinate hostage.

Xu Fan stood firm and fearless, smiling back at him.

"Tiger's den or not, young master here isn't sure, but I do know that the person you took, now, must be handed over to me."

His calm tone showed no hint of nervousness, even carrying a tone of an upper-ranker interrogating a lower-ranker.

This couldn't but startle Bingdilian, finding it unbelievable that someone of this guy's age could possess such an aura…

But in an instant, Bingdilian recovered, glanced at his frightened subordinate, and then smiled.

"Oh? On what grounds should I hand him over?"

"Could it be, you plan to use my good-for-nothing subordinate as a hostage to barter with me?"

Whoosh!

Without giving Xu Fan any time to answer that question, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, Bingdilian's hand moved, and two silver Flying Blades were shot out!

The sharp blade tips sliced through the air, heading straight for Xu Fan, and also Dongming!

"Er, bo, boss…"

The sudden release of Flying Blades by Bingdilian was indeed unexpected, but fortunately, Xu Fan was prepared and managed to dodge.

But Dongming, Bingdilian's subordinate, did not possess such ability.

The silver Flying Blade deeply stabbed into Dongming's forehead, and crimson blood mixed with brain matter dripped along the handle of the blade, Dongming's eyes widened as if seeking an explanation, but before he could get one, he collapsed with a thud…

"Heh, you actually dodged it? No wonder you could bring down my trusted men, interesting, really interesting!"

Bingdilian's trusted man dying by his own hand elicited not a hint of solemnity or regret on his face.

Instead, the slowly permeating scent of blood in the air completely exhilarated him.

He felt that this mission was truly interesting!
