Dead, really dead.
This unremarkable young man actually said he'd kill someone and he did. And after killing, he showed no care at all, like it was just something he was supposed to do.
"You're daring enough to kill someone at Tulong Company, are you tired of living?" Leopard Head pointed at Ye Xiao, shouting loudly.
Ye Xiao said, "If anyone dares to shout at me, I say from now on, whoever shouts, I will kill!"
Silence!
An astonishing silence!
Inside the nightclub, from Brother Hu and Brother Leopard to the ordinary lackeys, no one made a sound, instead, they looked at Ye Xiao in surprise.
Indeed, they were genuinely surprised; they never expected someone to be this tough.
"Brother, who are you?" Hu couldn't help looking at Ye Xiao. He'd been on the streets for quite a while, seen a lot of people, but Ye Xiao's strength was rare. After all, the way Ye Xiao quickly and brutally killed his lackey was something ordinary people couldn't achieve. Even Hu, who always boasted about his fighting skills, couldn't possibly accomplish it.
"Who I am is a personal matter, so there's no need to say it, but I want to ask, does Tulong Company, as a notable company in Bird City, keep its word?" Ye Xiao had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
Hu looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Of course, Tulong Company's reputation is very high."
"Haha, if that's the case, then why did Tulong Company break its agreement with me?" Ye Xiao said, "Is this so-called Brother Tong from Tulong Company? If not, I'll kill him another day."
Hu and Leopard Head, along with those present, listened to Ye Xiao's words, each with a bitter smile. This guy talks about killing like it's a joke; what kind of person is this?
Hu actually wanted to say Brother Tong wasn't from Tulong Company, at least to avoid a catastrophe, but with all the lackeys around, if he said that, he'd be telling the lackeys that while things are fine, they serve Tulong Company; if things go wrong, they're on their own.
Clearly, it wasn't right, as most people on the streets operate under the guise of loyalty.
Hu's face turned grim; he didn't know what to say.
Compared to Hu's calmness, Leopard Head was somewhat impulsive. He looked at Ye Xiao and spoke coldly: "Ye Xiao, you're here looking for trouble, right? Don't forget this is Tulong Company. You may be able to fight, but can you fight all the Tulong Company brothers? I'm not afraid to tell you, provoking Tulong Company means provoking Azure Dragon Company."
Leopard Head intended to scare Ye Xiao with big words, which reached Ye Xiao's ears.
Ye Xiao pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Azure Dragon Company? You're kidding, right? Who dares provoke Azure Dragon Company? Don't scare me."
Seeing Ye Xiao seemed somewhat afraid of Azure Dragon Company, Leopard Head laughed heartily and said, "Looks like you're not clear about the forces on the streets. In Bird City, few don't know that Tulong Company and Azure Dragon Company are allied companies. Provoking us means provoking Azure Dragon Company, and vice versa. You better think carefully."
After speaking, Leopard Head looked at Hu with joy, clearly telling Hu that Ye Xiao had been intimidated.
Hu indeed hoped Ye Xiao was truly intimidated, but just then.
Ye Xiao smiled and glanced at Jiang Miaoke, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly showing contempt: "Azure Dragon Company? Is it powerful? How come I've never heard of such a company? Or is it just too low-level? Cut the interest, or else you're not keeping your word, and we won't reason with you."
It seemed to have settled down, but Jiang Miaoke's words reignited the tension.
"You dare to disrespect Azure Dragon Company?" Leopard Head hadn't expected Ye Xiao to remain silent, yet this young woman started shouting, and acting like Azure Dragon Company was nothing.
"Let's skip the other talk. Answer Ye Xiao's question: is Brother Tong from Tulong Company? If not, let's kill him now." Jiang Miaoke was even more domineering than Ye Xiao.
Hu and Leopard Head learned something today, the pair before them were clearly insane, barely talking without mentioning killing.
Silence!
Hu and Leopard Head fell silent, now hesitating and uncertain about what to do. After all, Ye Xiao had just shown incredible strength, their Brother Long had said not to fight the strong.
That's why Hu and Leopard Head hadn't ordered their men to act yet.
"Looks like there's nothing to talk about," Hu slowly said, "Brothers, avenge our brother."
Hu's words clearly signaled to everyone that it was time to act.
Tulong Company's dozens of lackeys immediately moved towards Ye Xiao, each like a hungry wolf spotting a sheep. Evidently, they weren't planning to stop until Ye Xiao was eliminated.
Ye Xiao seemed as if he hadn't seen these people, reaching out to grab Jiang Miaoke's arm beside him, and then walked straight towards Brother Hu and Brother Leopard.
Seeing Ye Xiao walking directly towards Brother Hu and Brother Leopard, the other underlings immediately rushed over, preparing to block Ye Xiao with a human wall.
At this point, Brother Hu and Brother Leopard remained unmoved, evidently very confident in their underlings. The strength of Tulong Company didn't lie in their backer, Azure Dragon Company, because, after all, Azure Dragon Company wasn't in Jinling District. If Tulong Company couldn't defend itself, and some strong organization appeared, Tulong Company might fall before even seeing backup from Azure Dragon Company.
Tulong Company's ace was in the strong individual combat abilities of its subordinates. Each recruit was rigorously screened, which is why Ye Xiao punching one Tulong Company underling to death terrified everyone. It wasn't that the underlings were too weak, but the enemy was too strong.
"Looks like we should leave someone alive and wait for Brother Long to return," Brother Hu said to Brother Leopard.
Brother Leopard nodded and said, "Yes, let Brother Long come back and personally interrogate. Let's see what kind of capital he has to dare invade Tulong Company."
At this moment, the two were still discussing how to interrogate Ye Xiao after capturing him.
But just then, the human wall suddenly broke apart in an instant. The leading underlings couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground heavily. Almost every one of them lay there unconscious, clearly having suffered significant injuries.
"This..." Brother Hu and Brother Leopard watched as Ye Xiao happily walked through the human wall, and the muscles on their faces twitched instantly.
They never imagined Ye Xiao's strength would have reached this level.
'Swish'!
Brother Leopard pulled a dagger from under the table, the dagger gleamed coldly, and he rushed directly towards Ye Xiao, finally shouting angrily, "I want to see what you're capable of."
Brother Leopard, known as the leopard in Tulong Company, was called the leopard because he was fast and fierce.
Ye Xiao watched Brother Leopard approach from afar, chuckling to himself, preparing to send Brother Leopard back the way he came.
But just then, a gunshot rang out.
A red dot appeared on Brother Leopard's forehead, and he fell straight to the ground, shot dead.
"Ah?"
This time everyone in Tulong Company was shocked, and even Ye Xiao was startled.
Who fired the gun?
At that moment, almost all eyes fell on Ye Xiao, because almost everyone thought it was Ye Xiao, but he didn't have a gun in his hands.
However, Ye Xiao lacking a gun didn't mean others didn't have one, like Jiang Miaoke beside him.
Jiang Miaoke at this moment was indeed holding a handgun, a small and delicate handgun, perfectly suited for her use.
Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke, the muzzle of the gun still smoking, clearly indicating that shot was fired by her.
"You..." Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke in surprise.
It was the first time he knew that Jiang Miaoke carried a gun.
Thinking back to when Li Siqi put the handgun in the car, Ye Xiao felt a bit disoriented. Could it be that children from wealthy families always carry guns?
Seeing Ye Xiao's surprised look, Jiang Miaoke laughed and said, "Did you really think I was just a pretty face who talked well?"
Li Siqi's words completely overturned Ye Xiao's worldview.
Apparently, this girl was well-versed in both academic and martial skills?
"You dare to use guns?" Brother Hu roared in anger, immediately reaching for the gun on his body, aiming it directly at Jiang Miaoke, but just then, another gunshot sounded.
A bullet accurately hit Brother Hu's hand holding the gun, instantly creating a bloody hole, causing him to drop the gun to the ground, and Brother Hu screamed in pain.
Jiang Miaoke laughed, holding the gun as she walked towards Brother Hu and said, "Hey, I just saved your entire family's lives, you know? If you had fired that shot and hit me, your whole family would have been killed without a trace, you understand?"
Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke as she held the gun to Brother Hu's head, with a wry smile on his face.
What Jiang Miaoke said was quite true. If anyone here dared to harm Jiang Miaoke, then the Jiang Family might wipe out their entire clan, let alone consider killing Jiang Miaoke. That would be akin to looking for their own death.
