Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Retaliation"If you don’t stop moving, I’ll shoot!" Black Panther warned fiercely, gripping the gun tighter, his palm involuntarily soaked in sweat. Liu Yuanlong had weathered many storms before. Though taken aback, he remained composed, pushing away the two beauties beside him before slowly standing up, his gaze intently fixed on the masked man, guessing the man’s identity. In the past, Liu Yuanlong also had dealings in the underworld, conducting many unlawful businesses. Later on, after laundering his reputation, he transformed into a well-known real estate magnate in Zhongzhou City, joining the ranks of high society. Liu Yuanlong was known for his ruthlessness. Although his business had grown over the years, so had the number of enemies he had made in both the legal and criminal worlds. There were definitely more than one or two who wanted him dead. He thought the masked man might be one of his sworn enemies or perhaps a killer hired by one. This person managed to slip past the bodyguards outside the villa, infiltrating the courtyard, which proved he was very skilled. Maybe, as Black Panther said, he could be a martial artist who had cultivated ancient martial arts. If the bodyguards positioned around the villa were considered elite, then the eight bodyguards inside the villa were the best of the best, and each was armed with a firearm. Liu Yuanlong believed that at this moment, the muzzles of eight guns were already aimed at the masked man, and at his command, the masked man would be riddled with bullets. In Liu Yuanlong’s view, even the strongest martial artist was still flesh and blood and couldn’t possibly withstand the power of bullets. Black Panther’s sharp command seemed to have an effect, causing the masked man to halt, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Liu Yuanlong and Black Panther. Liu Yuanlong picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it himself, and took two deep drags, slowly exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Who sent you to kill me?" Amidst the swirling smoke, Liu Yuanlong’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing through the smoke to settle on the masked man. The masked man said, "No one hired me, I’m the one who wants to kill you." "Do we have a grudge?" "You sought to cripple my hands and feet. Originally, I planned to return the favor in kind. But you just threatened to annihilate my whole family. For my family’s safety, I had to eradicate you and your son first!" Liu Yuanlong’s wife had died of illness a few years ago, and since then, he had led a carefree life of perpetual bachelorhood without remarrying. Now the Liu Family only consisted of Liu Yuanlong and his son, Liu Yichen. Destroying the two of them would mean the end of the Liu Family. "You... I know who you are now!" No sooner had the masked man ceased speaking than Black Panther already began to shout, "You are..." Whoosh— Amidst the faint sound of air being torn, several embroidery needles turned into streaks of white light, shooting out from the masked man’s hands. In the time it took for Black Panther’s cry to begin, the needles had already penetrated the bodies of the four bikini-clad beauties. The four bikini beauties let out a muffled groan, their bodies gradually collapsing to the ground, instantly falling into unconsciousness. Now, only Liu Yuanlong, Black Panther, and the masked man were left at the scene. "Fang Bai! You’re Fang Bai!" Seeing the masked man neutralize the four bikini beauties in an instant, across such a distance, Black Panther realized that he and Liu Yuanlong were not safe, breaking into a cold sweat as he yelled, firing shots at the masked man. Several gunshots pierced the night, carrying far into the distance. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Black Panther assumed that as soon as they started shooting, the eight hidden gunners around them would fire at the masked man simultaneously. Black Panther thought with nine guns aiming at the masked man, and with no cover within a hundred meters, the masked man’s chances of evading the gunfire were slim; even if not killed on the spot, he would hardly escape injury. But to Black Panther’s surprise, not only did the masked man, standing thirty meters away, dodge his gunfire with an unbelievable speed, the eight hidden gunners in the darkness also remained silent. Black Panther sucked in a breath of cold air, instantly aware that something was very wrong. "Boss, get down quick!" While continuing to shoot, Black Panther retreated at an angle, pulling the astonished Liu Yuanlong behind an overturned round table where the two of them hid. "What’s going on? Where are the ambush gunmen?" Liu Yuanlong had been calm and collected, but now he started to panic, his eyes darting around, seemingly searching for the eight gunmen tasked with secretly protecting him. "Boss, if I’m not mistaken, those eight have been taken out!" Black Panther said darkly, his face grim. "What? The skills and marksmanship of those eight gunmen are comparable to Huaxia’s most elite special forces; how could they have been silently killed?" "I told you, that kid is a martial artist. And now it seems he’s no ordinary martial artist. No matter how elite the special forces are, they are nothing against a powerful martial artist!" "Is he really Fang Bai?" "He didn’t deny it, so it seems likely..." "What do we do now?" "I don’t know..." "We can’t just sit here waiting to die, can we? Hurry up and call for backup, get our people over here!" In his youth, Liu Yuanlong was brave and fierce, never blinking an eye when killing, but as he aged, his courage diminished. The thought of being potentially killed filled him with fear. Black Panther held a gun in one hand and fumbled for his mobile phone with the other to dial for help. "It’s too late." Suddenly, an icy voice sounded beside the two men, and the face of a handsome man appeared before them, looking down with a mocking gaze. The handsome man was indeed Fang Bai. The terrifying demon mask that instilled fear had been removed and was now in his hand. Liu Yuanlong and Black Panther were both shocked. They couldn’t understand how Fang Bai had managed to appear right in front of them in an instant when there had been dozens of meters separating them. Black Panther guessed that Fang Bai had employed some ancient martial movement technique, but the speed of it was horrifyingly fast. Ah— Black Panther let out a shout and swung the gun towards Fang Bai. Before he could fire, Fang Bai launched a kick that sent the gun flying out of his hand; with a "plop," it landed in the swimming pool behind them. "You guessed right, I am Fang Bai. I killed Hungry Wolf. Now, it’s your turn," Fang Bai said with a grin, revealing eight snow-white teeth. To others, this smile might seem innocuous, but to Liu Yuanlong and Black Panther, it appeared as the devilish grin of a demon from hell. "You’re the one who’s going to die!" Black Panther roared, arching his body back, his back to the ground, legs bending and springing forth with a move "Rabbit Kicking Eagle," aiming a fierce kick at Fang Bai’s lower abdomen. Black Panther’s strength was close to that of a martial artist; the force of this kick could easily dispatch a fierce wolf. At the same time, a murderous light flashed in Liu Yuanlong’s eyes as he grabbed a fruit knife from the ground and lunged at Fang Bai’s chest.
