The receptionist小姐 blinked, her gaze filled with confusion. She had never heard of Liu Xiangtian.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Miss, you just need to tell your boss. Remember to find the person in charge. This place is not just an entertainment venue; you should know what kind of business you're in."
"I'm here today to challenge you."
The receptionist didn't understand the other words, but she understood the last sentence. Someone was here to cause trouble. Her expression changed.
"Sir, please follow me."
With that, she gracefully led the way, her waist swaying. Lin Xiaotian, without any fear, followed behind with his hands clasped behind his back. The two quickly arrived at the second basement level.
As the door to the second basement level was pushed open, they saw several tables with many people playing cards. Their gazes immediately shifted to them. There were at least seventeen or eighteen burly men, all strong and tall, over 1.8 meters.
Their eyes turned with surprise.
"Why did you bring a bean sprout? Is he here to cause trouble for us?" someone couldn't help but blurt out, followed by laughter from the others.
"If you consider this bean sprout a troublemaker, aren't we being too bullying? Look at this skinny bean sprout; his legs aren't as thick as our arms."
"If we just scare him a few words, he'll probably wet his pants today."
"Maybe he's someone who wants to join us. We brought him here, and now we have a subordinate to serve us?"
They chuckled amongst themselves. The young lady who had brought Lin Xiaotian's face turned serious. "He said he's here to challenge us. We'll leave him to you."
"And this guy actually wants to see our boss? He doesn't even know his own limits. Coming here to cause trouble with such a frail body is practically seeking death."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. "Sister, I don't want to hit women. And don't be in a hurry to leave. In at most two minutes, you'll know where my confidence comes from."
The young lady blinked, then a look of disdain appeared on her moderately attractive face. "Alright, I'd like to see what you're capable of."
She then coldly said to the burly men, "What are you standing around for? Get to it."
"Beat this guy to death. Break all his bones. His corneas might still be useful; we're short on corneas recently."
Hearing this, their faces showed ferocious expressions, and their gazes towards Lin Xiaotian were filled with mockery.
"I can't believe a bean sprout like you would dare to cause trouble here. Who gave you the courage?"
"Maybe this guy watched too many movies and thinks he can take on so many of us alone?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe he has some backing and is just here to deliver a message. This kid is clearly being fooled. Look at his smug look, as if he's happy to have found us."
"But he has no idea how ruthless we are. Later, I'll use a hammer to slowly break all his bones."
The leader said this with excitement in his eyes. He hadn't tortured anyone in a long time. Someone walking into their trap was a welcome diversion. He casually pulled a hammer from under the table, his gaze ferocious as he looked at Lin Xiaotian. "Nobody move. I'll do it today. I'll break his bones bit by bit and let you hear his beautiful screams."
The surrounding men couldn't help but smile, their eyes filled with ridicule.
"This kid came here to die, so he can only blame himself."
"The boss is taking action himself, so we can just relax. We probably won't get a chance to fight."
They all stood aside, with their arms crossed, watching the show. As the leader approached, Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even wider. "Do you really like breaking people's bones?"
"That's right, I love doing it. And I've broken the bones of more than one or two people, especially those who haven't grown up yet."
"Breaking their bones is different from breaking adult bones. The sounds are different."
"Especially those little brats, the way they scream when their bones are broken. Seeing the fear in their eyes. They were full of innocence about the world, but after meeting me, they learned what fear and evil are."
"I love seeing that expression the most. You, kid, are also very naive, very much like those children's eyes, pure and innocent. When I break your bones, you'll probably show that same horrific..."
However, before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian kicked him. A powerful kick landed squarely on the leader's chin.
"Bang!"
The heavy kick sent the leader flying backward. When he hit the ground, his jaw was shattered, and he lost countless teeth. The leader felt as if his head had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer. His eyes were filled with daze. At this moment, he felt his vision spinning, a wave of nausea rising. His jaw was completely shattered, and the piercing pain made him cry out, but only a muffled sound came from his throat.
Lin Xiaotian casually caught the falling hammer, a brilliant smile on his face. "You like smashing people's bones, don't you? I'll let you experience this pain today."
As his voice fell, he swung the hammer with all his might, without hesitation. The leader's palm was smashed on the spot. Bones shattered and pierced the skin, blood flowed out, and broken bone fragments scattered everywhere. He had put a lot of force into that swing, completely mangling the leader's palm.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
