Chapter 1

Late, nine o'clock in the evening.

Inside the dimly lit temporary warehouse of Old Yang's house, more than twenty people sat around a stove in the middle of the warehouse, anxious expressions on their faces.

Some lowered their heads, smoking cigarettes in silence.

The atmosphere inside the warehouse was extremely oppressive.

"Old Yang, when exactly is this Li Tianran you mentioned arriving?" Finally, someone spoke up, asking, "We've been waiting for him for nearly two hours now, isn't he putting on a bit too much of an act?"

"That's right! A little kid, barely dry behind the ears, actually wants to take down those depraved and ruthless bandits. Isn't that wishful thinking?"

"Old Yang, we're all here because of your reputation. This kid is just too unreliable!"

Perhaps because they had been waiting for too long, or perhaps because their homes had been robbed before, these people were filled with resentment and began to complain. Some were even ready to leave.

"Everyone, please wait a little longer. Little Li's farm is quite far from here, and it's nighttime, so there might have been some delays on the road. Please be patient!" Old Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trying to appease the crowd.

After leaving Li Tianran's farm today, Old Yang had traveled all over the surrounding towns.

That grain-robbing gang had been committing many crimes recently. It was easy to find out who the victims were with a little inquiry.

In the past ten days, more than fifty households had been looted by that grain-robbing gang. Most of them were restaurants or supermarkets, and all their stored grain had been stolen. Several families were unlucky enough to be shot by the gang, and two people died from excessive blood loss while being taken to the hospital, before they could even be rescued.

When Old Yang heard that so many people had been victimized, he immediately felt confident. He thought he could easily gather enough manpower, but the result disappointed him.

When those victims heard Old Yang's purpose, some simply closed their doors, and others even cursed at Old Yang. Old Yang almost started fighting with them on the spot.

Later, Old Yang realized that these people had been frightened by the grain-robbing gang. They didn't dare to do anything to resist them, fearing they would bring trouble upon themselves!

So, Old Yang spent an entire day traveling around the surrounding towns before he managed to persuade the twenty-four people in front of him. And several of them were Old Yang's acquaintances. They originally didn't want to come, but they had no choice but to show their faces out of respect for Old Yang.

But now, they had waited for two hours, and the main person still hadn't appeared. Finally, they couldn't hold back any longer and started shouting that they wanted to go home and stop indulging Old Yang's madness.

"Even the military police can't do anything about them, what can a little kid do? I was really stupid to waste these two hours here for nothing!" A middle-aged man in his forties sneered and glanced at the crowd around him, saying, "If you still want to waste your time, then go ahead! I'm not playing with you anymore!"

"I'm going home too. I said a long time ago that this was unreliable..."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Led by the middle-aged man, the twenty or so people in the warehouse stood up, ready to leave.

Just then, the sound of a motorcycle came from outside the warehouse.

Soon, the warehouse door was pushed open from the outside.

A young man led a cute little girl in, looked around, and suddenly smiled, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Tianran. I'm the one who asked Old Yang to gather you all. I'm the one who initiated tonight's event!"

Those who were about to step out of the warehouse froze, their eyes falling on Li Tianran.

"You're the one who said you could lead us to get revenge?" The middle-aged man who spoke earlier frowned and asked, "Why should we believe you?"

When Old Yang went to find them before, he didn't tell them that Li Tianran had a gun.

After all, there were too many people, and if they said it too early, someone might leak it out.

"That's right! Why should we?"

"With your little arms and legs, you'd probably fall over with a gust of wind, right?"

"You can't even beat me, how are you going to deal with those ruthless bandits who are armed with weapons!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the warehouse became tense, and everyone began to directly question Li Tianran.

Li Tianran took a deep breath, then glanced at everyone, and suddenly smiled, "Why? Because of this!"

Li Tianran suddenly raised his leg and kicked a stone roller that was placed at the warehouse door.

With a loud thud, the stone roller, which weighed eighty kilograms, was kicked three meters away by Li Tianran, falling heavily to the ground, cracking in the middle with a hideous crack!

Silence!

The warehouse was silent!

Everyone who witnessed this scene had their jaws dropping in shock, and even Old Yang almost popped his eyeballs out.

He knew very well how heavy that stone roller was. Usually, even moving it a little required all his strength.

But Li Tianran just kicked it away, and even cracked it. The most important thing was that his expression didn't even seem like he had used all his strength...

Heavens!

What was Li Tianran's body made of? Steel?

The warehouse remained silent for a long time, with only the sound of constant swallowing.

After a long while, someone tremblingly asked, "Boss Li, I admit that you are indeed very strong, but the other party has guns. No matter how powerful you are, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand firearms, right?"

Hearing this, the morale that had risen because of Li Tianran's demonstration of terrifying strength sank again.

This was an age of technology.

Even the world's top martial arts masters could not withstand the attack of an ordinary person with a gun.

"Are you talking about guns like this?" Li Tianran asked, and suddenly a thunderous sound rang out in the warehouse.

A bucket in the distance shattered in response.

In Li Tianran's hand, a revolver... the muzzle was still slowly emitting white smoke.

"Gulp!"

At this moment, no one doubted Li Tianran's strength anymore!

With his superb skills and the most advanced weapons, Li Tianran was definitely qualified to eliminate those ruthless bandits!

The chaos in the warehouse was completely resolved by Li Tianran in less than a minute after his appearance.

"Boss Li, the other party is a group of ruthless bandits. What if we get injured or killed in battle?" Someone asked with some concern.

Hearing this, Li Tianran frowned, then looked over and said in a deep voice, "After your grain is robbed, how many more days can you last? Starving to death and fighting to the death, which one do you choose?"

Fighting to the death offers a chance of survival; hesitating and fearing leads to certain death!

Everyone fell silent.

After a long time, someone finally gritted their teeth and said, "Okay! I'm in! These people robbed my family's entire fortune and seriously injured my father. I will not be human if I don't avenge this!"

"I'm in too!"

"Count me in!"

"Those people are a bunch of locusts that can never be satisfied. They took away our grain, which means they took away our hope of survival. We must take revenge and reclaim what belongs to us!"

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Tianran's mouth, "Very good, but if you want to succeed, you must all listen to my arrangements!"

"Before the plan begins, I'll ask again, is there anyone who wants to quit?"

"If so, speak up now, otherwise, once the plan starts, if you don't follow orders or back down halfway, then don't blame me for turning against you!"
