"You… how did you know?"
Sam's smile froze instantly as he stared at Qin Hanchu in disbelief.
The neurotoxin was colorless and odorless. How had Qin Hanchu detected it?
"Don't you know I'm an expert in poisons?" Qin Hanchu said.
"Neurotoxins are chemical toxins; they are not in the same system as your poisons," Sam stated gravely.
"Forget it, there's nothing to explain to a dead man."
With that, Qin Hanchu attacked Sam.
With the neurotoxin rendered useless, Sam had no choice but to face Qin Hanchu head-on.
In less than three minutes, Qin Hanchu's fist landed squarely on Sam's heart.
Sam spat out a mouthful of blood, severely wounded.
"Take a message to your young master. If he dares to provoke me again, his fate will be yours," Qin Hanchu said before turning to leave.
…
Bang bang…
At the Central City Grand Hotel, Sam's door was suddenly knocked upon.
Yuan Yazhen opened the door to see Sam, pale-faced, being supported by Mikelson's guards.
"What happened? How did you get so badly injured!" Mikelson exclaimed upon seeing Sam's miserable state.
"I intended to kill him with neurotoxin… I didn't expect him to see through it… this person is not to be trifled with… unless a master is involved… it's hard to kill him!" Sam said, his voice trembling. "He told me to tell you… not to provoke him again! Otherwise, my fate will be yours… Hurry, hurry back to the United States!"
After speaking, Sam lost consciousness.
"Damn it!" Seeing Sam die before his eyes, Mikelson roared in fury.
Sam was not only a master from the family but also someone close to Mikelson who had watched him grow up.
Although he had heard Qin Hanchu's threat, how could Mikelson let it go?
"Qin Hanchu, I will kill you!" Mikelson roared.
"Young master, we should leave quickly. If that person comes after you, we can't guarantee your safety," the bodyguard said.
"Yes, let's leave quickly. This lunatic dared to kill Uncle Sam, he will surely dare to attack you too," Yuan Yazhen said in fear.
Mikelson nodded coldly. "Notify the family and issue a bounty in the underworld! Whoever kills Qin Hanchu will receive fifty million US dollars!"
Based on the current currency system, fifty million US dollars is equivalent to three hundred million Yan Guo currency.
Such a large sum of money was enough to entice many underground forces.
As soon as the underworld bounty was issued, Wan Tong received the news.
She immediately went to Qin Hanchu's home.
At this time, Qin Hanchu had just finished cooking dinner.
Seeing Wan Tong enter, Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "Sister Wan Tong, would you like to join me for dinner?"
Wan Tong shook her head gravely and said, "The Nolan family has issued a bounty in the underworld, offering fifty million US dollars for your life."
Qin Hanchu was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "The price is good. It should attract some experts."
"Do you want me to deploy the Azure Robe Guards?" Wan Tong asked.
"No, I lured them here on purpose," Qin Hanchu said.
Wan Tong asked in surprise, "Why?"
"To pick a few greedy and cowardly individuals among them to use for my purposes."
Qin Hanchu's mercy, allowing Sam to die in front of Mikelson, was intended to completely enrage Mikelson.
The Nolan family was a conglomerate, and the family did not have many martial arts experts.
If they wanted to take revenge on Qin Hanchu, they could only spend money.
This way, many dark hunters would come looking for him.
Mikelson knew that Qin Hanchu was a ninth-grade martial artist, so he would surely be looking for experts of ninth-grade and above.
Such experts could help Qin Hanchu with many things.
"What kind of operation is this? Why are you choosing people who are afraid of death?" Lin Ying asked in confusion.
Xin Xin and Wan Tong, standing beside her, also looked at Qin Hanchu with puzzlement.
"People who are afraid of death are the easiest to control. As long as you don't let them do things that court death, they will be absolutely obedient," Qin Hanchu explained.
"I understand," Wan Tong nodded.
"Still, we should deploy some experts," Qin Hanchu mused. "Have them secretly protect Hailu, lest someone make a move against her."
"What about us!"
"Yes! We two weak women also need protection," Xin Xin said to Lin Ying.
Qin Hanchu looked at the two with disdain and said, "Come on, your guards have always been around. Do you still need me to send people to protect you?"
Lin Ying and the other woman smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
Just then, Jin Hailu walked in.
Seeing Wan Tong present, Jin Hailu smiled and nodded, acknowledging her.
"I'll go arrange it now. You guys eat," Wan Tong said, then turned to leave.
"What happened?" Jin Hailu asked.
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "Eat first, we'll talk later."
"After eating, can we go out for a walk? I feel like I've gained weight recently," Lin Ying said.
Xin Xin raised her hand and said, "I second that."
After dinner, it was already half-past six in the evening.
At Lin Ying's suggestion, the four of them went out for a walk together.
The residential area was close to the military academy, so they could see many students while walking.
With three beautiful women accompanying him, Qin Hanchu naturally attracted a lot of attention.
These days, Qin Hanchu had become accustomed to the envious and jealous gazes of others.
"Junior Lin Ying." As the four were chatting, they suddenly heard someone calling Lin Ying.
Qin Hanchu turned to look and saw Hua Shixin walking towards them with a smile.
"Senior, are you here to make friends again?" Qin Hanchu teased.
"First time we meet, second time we're familiar," Hua Shixin said smiling at Lin Ying. "We should be considered friends now."
Hua Shixin's reply caused Qin Hanchu and the other three to freeze for a moment.
This fellow was truly thick-skinned.
Qin Hanchu's face darkened, and he asked coldly, "You're so enthusiastic towards my fiancée. Do you have some intentions?"
"Junior, why be so petty? I've already said, I just want to be friends with junior sister," Hua Shixin said indifferently.
"Don't insult me with your IQ." Everyone knew Hua Shixin's intentions.
As a man, how could Qin Hanchu allow Hua Shixin to poach his woman in front of him?
He hadn't paid attention last time, but this time he had to make Hua Shixin give up this idea forever.
"Junior sister, your fiancé is too controlling, isn't he? Can't you have your own circle of friends?"
"You're not even married yet, and he already wants to control you. If you get married, won't he keep you like a pet!" Hua Shixin incited.
"It means he cares about me. Is it okay if I'm willing to be kept like a pet by him?" Lin Ying said playfully.
"You…" Hua Shixin had intended to sow discord, but he didn't expect Lin Ying to retort like this.
"I warn you, don't disturb Lin Ying again, or you'll face the consequences," Qin Hanchu said coldly.
"I know your martial arts strength is good, but it's not enough to make me afraid!"
"I forgot to tell you, my father is the chief instructor of the Pingluan Army in Fengcheng, a late-stage ninth-grade expert!"
"What right do you have to make me face consequences?" Hua Shixin's polite demeanor changed, and he became arrogant.
