"If you want to drink so badly, why don't I join you?"
Lin Xiaotian leaped in through the window with a whoosh, startling everyone present.
Jiang Yulang turned to look at Lin Xiaotian, his face filled with surprise. "Who are you, kid? How did you get up here?"
"I climbed up, of course. You're here deliberately getting my wife drunk, and as her husband, how could I stand by and do nothing?" Lin Xiaotian smiled calmly, dusted off his hands, and slowly walked over.
The people around exchanged glances, looking at Lin Xiaotian's cold smile, they all appeared frightened. Who in their right mind could climb from the first floor to the sixteenth?
If this kid really climbed up, he was practically inhuman!
Jiang Yulang's face turned cold. He recognized Lin Xiaotian at a glance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes before quickly returning to normal. He chuckled, "So you're Madam Chu's husband. This is truly a misunderstanding. I invited your wife here today merely to discuss business, not to get her drunk."
"I also didn't expect Madam Chu to have such a poor tolerance for alcohol. Since she can't drink, I don't think this business deal is worth discussing anymore."
With that, he waved his hand, dismissing the two of them.
Chu Nianxue, still somewhat conscious, heard Jiang Yulang's words and quickly shook her head. "Mr. Jiang, I sincerely apologize. My husband is usually quite unrestrained and lacks manners. I hope you can overlook his behavior."
"I really can't drink anymore. I hope my husband can drink on my behalf. Mr. Jiang, what do you think..."
"Madam Chu, I am here to discuss business with you, not with that brat. I've already shown him great respect by not holding him accountable for his unauthorized entry into this gathering. Yet, you still want to negotiate terms with me?"
Jiang Yulang sneered, interrupting her. He shook his head and continued, "Madam Chu, you've truly disappointed me. If you still wish to discuss business with me today, then have this brat leave, and you drink this glass of wine."
"Otherwise, our negotiation ends here."
"Mr. Jiang, you..." Chu Nianxue became hesitant.
The others around her also wore sinister smiles, urging Chu Nianxue to drive Lin Xiaotian away.
However, before Chu Nianxue could make a decision, Lin Xiaotian let out a cold laugh and came to her side, supporting her. "Wife, why put yourself through this?"
"These people didn't invite you here with genuine intentions of cooperation; they intended to get you drunk and take advantage of you."
"If they were sincere about cooperation, I certainly wouldn't have obstructed them."
"What did you say? They took advantage of me?" Chu Nianxue asked incredulously, her eyes hazy.
Lin Xiaotian shrugged indifferently and smiled. "Yes, especially this Mr. Jiang in front of you. He's the worst. The drinks you had earlier were all arranged by him deliberately."
"He's already booked a room and is waiting to get you drunk and take you there."
"Brat, stop spouting nonsense! When did I have any improper thoughts about her? You're deliberately slandering me. Believe it or not, I'll have you thrown out!"
Jiang Yulang's face instantly turned furious, and he glared fiercely at Lin Xiaotian.
"You want to throw me out? You'd better have the ability."
Lin Xiaotian sneered dismissively, sizing him up. "If you honestly confess who sent you to seduce my wife, I might let you leave here standing.
"But if you're not honest, you'll have to leave here the same way I came in!"
"Hmph, utterly arrogant."
Jiang Yulang stopped wasting words with Lin Xiaotian, clenched his fists, and suddenly shouted outside, "Someone, get over here and throw this brat out!"
Thump, thump, thump!
A large group of people rushed in from outside, all looking fierce and quickly surrounding Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian glanced around, completely unfazed. "You're no match for me. Listen to him and you'll suffer. So I advise you to retreat voluntarily. I'm not here to deal with you."
"Kid, you dare cause trouble here? You must be tired of living! Anyone who bullies Mr. Jiang today is against us. Take this!"
The bodyguard leading the charge swung his fist, charging rapidly at Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian saw the faint true qi flickering between the bodyguard's fists and realized this guy was actually a martial artist.
However, Lin Xiaotian was unconcerned. As the fist was about to connect, Lin Xiaotian leaped up, his fists like a fierce tiger unleashed from its cage. With a roar, a tiger-like wave of energy emanated from his fists, slamming into the bodyguard's chest.
Crash!
The bodyguard had no chance to resist and was sent flying backward!
Everyone present was utterly shocked!
"Heh, who else? Do you want the same fate? You're welcome to challenge me."
Lin Xiaotian looked disdainfully at the other bodyguards, sneering.
The remaining bodyguards looked pale. None of them expected Lin Xiaotian's fists to be so powerful. Their boss was a Grandmaster realm expert, yet he couldn't withstand a single move from this kid.
"Keep coming!"
Seeing everyone hesitating, Jiang Yulang roared angrily and ordered them forward.
Instantly, the remaining bodyguards mustered their courage, having no choice but to charge at Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. Seeing them charge together, his anger flared. He moved with lightning speed, darting back and forth between their bodies.
In just a few seconds, everyone froze in place, unable to move!
As Lin Xiaotian emerged from the crowd, he snapped his fingers, and everyone collapsed to the ground with a crash, instantly losing consciousness.
"What? This..."
Jiang Yulang's face turned ashen with fear. He had heard of Lin Xiaotian's prowess before, but he never imagined he was this strong.
Lin Xiaotian turned his gaze to him, a twitch at the corner of his mouth. "Lin Xiaotian, you are truly terrifying. No wonder so many people wanted to kill you, yet none succeeded."
"It seems you know me quite well. Since you know my identity, you should be familiar with my methods. If you don't confess immediately, I'll make your life worse than death. Do you choose to voluntarily reveal the person behind this, or do you want to taste the agony?"
Lin Xiaotian stared at him with a threatening gaze, his steps gradually approaching him.
A sense of dread washed over Jiang Yulang. He kept glancing around, retreating step by step, silently praying: Master Huang, please appear quickly! My plan has been exposed. If you don't show up soon, I'm finished.
Whoosh!
Just as he finished his thoughts, a black figure suddenly flew past, blocking in front of him.
This black-robed expert wore a Taoist robe and held a black blood sword. He looked at Lin Xiaotian and snorted, "Lin Xiaotian, you truly have guts, daring to run rampant on Mr. Jiang's territory. You've provoked him, and your only path is death."
"Who are you? Are you also in league with him?"
Lin Xiaotian saw that this person's skills surpassed those of the previous attackers and couldn't help but ask curiously.
