Chapter 43: A Starting Price of 10 Million! (Third Update Seeking Recommendations)

  Crack!

  Bang!

  Yan Tou's battle knife chopped down, but was dodged by Lin Xiao with a simple sidestep. At the same time, he grabbed Yan Tou's arm holding the knife, his five fingers tightly clenched, and a crisp sound of breaking bones could be heard, accompanied by Yan Tou's pained cry. Lin Xiao snatched the battle knife from his hand, turned his body, and with his right hand holding the knife, directly slashed at Yan Tou's abdomen, effortlessly cutting open his clothes and leaving a three-foot-long gash on his belly.

  "Ahh!!!"

  Yan Tou let out a miserable cry and knelt down on the ground, clutching his abdomen, while Lin Xiao had one hand clamped around his neck and suddenly jerked him upwards.

  Crack!

  His neck snapped at the sound!

  Bang!

  The body of the rock head fell to the ground, splashing out a few blood flowers. Lin Xiao looked up at the god detective with a cold expression and suddenly showed him a smile.

  "Damn it!" The detective's eyes widened as he took in the gruesome sight of Rocky, his mind racing with the sudden realization that the seemingly harmless target had transformed into a devil from hell.

  He had just thought of drawing his pistol from his waist, but Lin Xiao's knife was a step faster and pierced through his brow.

  Pfft!

  Bang!

  "Rocky, Shentan!" the captain shouted loudly, immediately drawing two pistols from his waist and firing fiercely in Lin Xiao's direction.

  "Open fire, take out this son of a bitch!"

  Bang! Bang! Bang!...

  Gunfire rang out, a figure flashed in the woods, speed exceeding human limits, and in an instant it had traversed tens of meters to appear before that captain.

  "You're too slow!" Lin Xiao rushed up to him with a smile.

  The captain looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and even he didn't realize that his two hands holding the gun had been cut off by Lin Xiao until Lin Xiao suddenly lifted him up and threw him at another team member, when he was suddenly awakened by severe pain.

  "Ah......!"

  The scream lasted from start to finish for just three short seconds.

  There's no such thing as exceptional skill, Lin Xiao simply relied on his unparalleled speed and terrifying strength to crush this special forces team. If they had known about Lin Xiao's abilities earlier, they would have probably kept their distance or used a sniper rifle to take him out from afar, rather than choosing close combat. Fighting Lin Xiao in close quarters was essentially suicidal, given that he could run several laps around them in just one second.

  "Whoa!"

  He threw away the bloody war knife in his hand and walked step by step towards Devan, who was already sitting on the ground with a stupid expression.

  Walking up to Devan, Lin Xiao smiled and squatted down to look at him, saying: "Dear Mr. Devan, do you still want me to come sit with you now?"

  Devin was so frightened that he wanted to crawl backwards, but Lin Xiao smiled and stretched out a finger to press on the back of his right hand. A huge force crushed the muscles and bones on Devin's hand, and one finger directly pierced through his palm and pressed against the cement floor.

  "Ah!"

  Devin let out a mournful cry, Lin Xiao's fingers were like steel bars that nailed his entire hand to the ground, the intense pain stimulated his fragile nerves, making him unable to hold back tears.

  "Devil! You're a devil!" he exclaimed incoherently with fright.

  "Not, not, not! I'm not a devil." Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "On the contrary, I am a vulnerable group. If I hadn't resisted just now, it's possible that I would have been taken away by your subordinates to drink tea, Mr. Devan, isn't that right?"

  His fingers moved and severe pain made Deven hastily nod his head heavily.

  "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lin, it's all my fault, please forgive me, I can give you money, how much do you want?!" Devan was very afraid of death, like him, many rich people were also afraid of death, not just him alone, so he didn't want to die, he hadn't lived enough yet!

  "Is that so? Then what about 10 million? I'm sure Mr. DeVaan, you can't even come up with 10 million, right?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

  One hundred million is not too much or too little, and it's absolutely within Devan's acceptable range. Lin Xiao knew that his money was basically all invested out, so there wouldn't be a lot of liquid funds. Therefore, he didn't open his mouth to ask for several billion or something like that. If he asked for too much, it would only delay things. If some trick came out halfway through, it would be very bad.

  With Lin Xiao's current physical strength, a single sniper rifle bullet could take his life, and more than a dozen rifle bullets hitting him directly would also easily take his life. Not to mention hand grenades or rocket missiles, there are many hot weapons that can take his life, so he doesn't dare think he is invincible yet.

  "Alright, alright, I'll issue a check for you right away!" DeFan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

  "Alright." Lin Xiao withdrew his fingers and wiped the blood off on his clothes, "Hurry up and open it. I'm sure you don't want me to come looking for you again, Mr. Devan. So, you'd better make sure your check is cashable."

  De Fan nodded hastily, ignoring the pain in his hand, and directly took out a checkbook and pen from his pocket. He quickly wrote a check for 10 million yuan and handed it to Lin Xiao.

  "Alright." Lin Xiao took the check and glanced at it, smiling as he stored it in his system space. "So, Mr. Devan, do you need me to call an ambulance for you?"

  Devin hastily shook his head, he now only wanted to hurry up and leave this place, leave the devil in front of him, as for others, they could wait until after he left.

  "It seems that Mr. Devan has made up his mind, so I won't disturb you anymore." Lin Xiao stood up, "Goodbye, Mr. Devan!"

  Goodbye? Devan didn't want to see this devil again, he saw Lin Xiao turn around and walk towards the second floor of the parking lot, so he directly struggled to get up and ran out, that speed, like participating in a 100-meter dash.

  It wasn't until Lin Xiao retrieved his car and left the parking lot that the bodies inside were discovered. The police quickly arrived at the scene, and an experienced old policeman soon recognized the marks on the clothes of the corpses as belonging to Merryweather, immediately realizing that something was amiss.

  As for what happened on the other side, Lin Xiao didn't care at all. He believed that after this lesson, De Fan would definitely not come to bother him again. One million yuan for a life was obviously a worthwhile deal.

  On the way back, Lin Xiao went to the stock exchange and bought 30 million shares of Debonair with 300 million out of his own 302.8 million, believing that this stock would skyrocket in a few days due to Franklin's actions, and when that happens, it would be Lin Xiao's turn to make money.
