Two figures had already appeared before Ken. They wore black suits and hats, and to an ordinary person, their faces were imperceptible upon a casual glance.
"I never expected the renowned physics expert Ken to return to China to research controlled nuclear fusion!"
"Now, hand over all the information you possess. Otherwise, you will only meet your death!"
One of the men spoke coldly, a long saber instantly appearing in his hand and resting against Ken's neck.
"Who are you? Why do you want this?"
Ken looked at the two men and asked in a low voice.
"That's not your concern. You only need to worry about whether your life is still yours!"
"You have one minute to consider. When the minute is up, if I haven't obtained what I want, you will surely die!"
"Because I have no patience to play games with you!"
The man continued.
"I'm sorry, all my data is in the laboratory. Why don't you come with me to the lab to get it?"
Ken pondered for a moment and said to the two men.
"Laboratory?"
"It seems you are completely uncooperative. Then, die!"
As the man finished speaking, he raised the blade and slid it down Ken's neck.
However, before the blade could move, a silver needle flew through the air, striking the blade and deflecting it from Ken's neck.
"Who?"
The two men turned in unison, looking towards the direction the silver needle had come from. A young man now stood before them.
"People from the Death God Killer Organization?"
Lu Yang's expression was ice-cold as he asked the two killers in a low voice.
"Kid, who are you? How do you know our identities!"
The complexions of the two men turned cold simultaneously, and they stared at Lu Yang coldly.
"When you reach the underworld, someone will tell you!"
Lu Yang spoke, his voice like a phantom as he instantly moved before the two men. Before they could react, Lu Yang had already grabbed them by the neck.
"Who sent you?"
Lu Yang asked them sternly.
"You... you think you can get any... information from us!"
One of the men roared with difficulty.
"Since that's the case, then die!"
Lu Yang's fingers exerted a slight force, directly twisting the man's neck.
"It's your turn!"
Lu Yang shifted his gaze to the other man.
"If you have the guts, kill me!"
As killers, they were prepared for the consequences before taking action. Failure meant death.
"Kill you? Is there anything that easy in this world!"
Lu Yang sneered, and then acted, dislocating the killer's arms with a bone-dislocating technique.
"Ah..."
The killer cried out in extreme pain. He had already seen how sharp and ruthless Lu Yang's methods were, knowing he wouldn't be allowed to die easily. He was about to bite down on the poison in his mouth when Lu Yang grabbed his jaw and slapped him, knocking out his back molar.
"Damn it, you think you can take poison in front of me?"
Lu Yang looked at the man and said coldly.
"Boss, hand this person over to the Navy SEAL brothers, Arno. They have a hundred ways to make this killer talk!"
Ken said to Lu Yang directly.
Back then, Ken had witnessed the Arno brothers' methods. They were so bloody and brutal that they tortured an expert on the dark rankings beyond recognition, eventually forcing him to reveal all he knew.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang nodded, picked up the killer, and with Ken, left the mall at top speed.
Upon returning to Cloud Top Villa, Lu Yang immediately dislocated the killer's limbs and tossed him into a room. He then called the Arno brothers. In less than half an hour, the Arno brothers had arrived at Cloud Top Villa.
"Boss, is this the guy?"
Little Arno pointed at the killer lying on the ground and asked with a smile.
"Yes!"
Lu Yang nodded.
"In one night, I will extract all the information he knows!"
Little Arno said, then picked up the killer and walked into an empty room.
"Boss, my brother has been itching to get his hands dirty for a long time. Let him complete this task alone today!"
Big Arno said with a slight smile.
"Whatever you wish. I only want the results!"
Lu Yang said, then went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as Lu Yang woke up, Little Arno approached him.
"Boss, that killer was just a small fry. After a night of work, there wasn't much significant gain. However, we did extract that they have a secret stronghold in Jiang Province. This stronghold has ten people, including one gold-ranked killer, four silver-ranked killers, and the rest are bronze-ranked killers like this small fry. I've already pinpointed the location of this stronghold. When should we make a move to dismantle it?"
Little Arno looked at Lu Yang and said with a smile.
"Tonight!"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said to Little Arno.
"Okay!"
Little Arno replied excitedly and immediately began his preparations.
Lu Yang, meanwhile, took the already drafted transfer contract for three hundred mu of land in Qinglong Bay and headed towards the Tang family villa.
"Tang Shimin, what good are you for? Not only can't you get the land back, but you can't even get the investment funds from Haitong Group?"
"When I appointed you as the project manager, it was for you to contribute to the Tang family, not for you to squander money!"
Tang Yuan sat in his armchair, reprimanding Tang Shimin sternly.
"Grandpa, Lu Yang will bring the land transfer contract shortly. Please wait a moment!"
Tang Shimin looked at Tang Yuan with a wronged expression.
"You think that good-for-nothing will spit out what he's eaten? What are you thinking?"
"If that good-for-nothing isn't an idiot, he definitely won't do such a thing. You know the situation with Qinglong Bay now; one mu of land is worth two million, so a hundred mu is two hundred million!"
"Do you think he'll just give you so much money for free?"
Tang Zixuan stood aside and sneered at Tang Shimin.
"This..."
Hearing this, Tang Shimin was also speechless. Lu Yang had promised her three hundred mu of land yesterday, which was six hundred million yuan. And she had asked to divorce Lu Yang time and again. At this juncture, would Lu Yang readily hand over three hundred mu of land?
"Old Master, you might not know this, but Lu Yang is deeply devoted to our Shimin. Let alone a piece of land, he would willingly die for her. What we need to do now is to squeeze this good-for-nothing dry. Once the Tang family becomes a first-class family in Jiangbei City, we can then kick this good-for-nothing out!"
Li Xiumei stood by and immediately retorted.
