Ye Wantong gritted her teeth slightly, her gaze filled with determination. "You don't need to think about getting any answers from me. I will absolutely not betray him."
"Even if your strength is greater, as long as you can't find him, you can't do anything to him."
"He was originally the person I loved. I thought I might never have a future with him and had long given up all hope. I never expected this to happen."
"Perhaps this is my fate. If I die, maybe when I'm reborn, I can become one of the people he likes."
"Perhaps the future will be the one who truly has the chance to kill me, to give me a quick end."
After speaking, Ye Wantong closed her eyes. She had no intention of calling Lin Xiaotian, because she knew that if the man in front of her could shatter the treasures Lin Xiaotian had given her with a single punch, he must possess absolute power.
Now, she had only one thought: if anything happened to her, the person in front of her would definitely not find Lin Xiaotian.
Perhaps by delaying for a while, Lin Xiaotian could become stronger and defeat the man in front of her, avenging her.
Even if she died, she didn't want to implicate Lin Xiaotian, especially since she was the one who had tried to buy those treasures in the first place.
Now, she regretted it, but she had always honestly developed her business and never sought shortcuts. Perhaps if she hadn't, she wouldn't be in this trouble now.
Her thoughts raced, but Ye Wantong heard no sound. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw the long-armed man's face filled with mockery.
The long-armed man sneered, "I know what you're thinking. You think that after I kill you, no one will tell me who the people behind you are."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die. After all, you're so beautiful, you fit my ideal partner criteria."
"I will keep you by my side. At least, I won't let you die until I'm tired of you."
As he said this, the long-armed man couldn't help but reach out to lift Ye Wantong's chin.
At the very next moment.
A cold voice echoed from outside the door.
"I advise you not to touch her, or you'll be dead."
Hearing this, the long-armed man abruptly turned his head and looked towards the doorway.
Many people were present, but no one stepped forward to intervene. The one who spoke had just entered.
A mocking cold smile appeared on his face. "I don't know where you came from, you brash kid, but sticking your head out will only lead to one outcome: death."
"You probably have no idea how powerful true strength in this world is. You know nothing about power."
As he spoke, the long-armed man's gaze towards Lin Xiaotian became even more filled with a fierce, mocking smile.
"Since you want to die, I can certainly grant your wish. When you're reborn, remember, there are some people you cannot provoke, because you can't afford to."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced, but his eyes held a playful glint. "That's exactly what I wanted to say to you."
"However, since you've already said your piece, I'm too lazy to waste more words on you. Before you did those things, Xiao Ye could have given you a chance. Kneel on the ground and call me Grandpa, and I'll spare your life."
The long-armed man was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so audacious. His expression gradually turned cold, his face darkening.
"Good. How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? I think you're just looking for death."
"Perhaps you want to stand up for this woman, but you're destined to just look like an idiot."
He assumed Lin Xiaotian was deliberately putting on an act. At this moment, he was already filled with killing intent and had no time to care about Ye Wantong's condition, as she was here and wouldn't escape.
He simply wanted to give Ye Wantong a warning first, then slowly torment her, forcing her to reveal the person behind her.
He never expected a mere kid to show up at this time. This could be a perfect opportunity for him to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Lin Xiaotian slowly walked forward. Everyone in the room looked at him with pity, as they had witnessed the explosive power of the long-armed man's attack just moments ago.
The long-armed man did not hesitate. He raised his hand and clenched his fist, aiming for Lin Xiaotian's shoulder. He didn't intend to kill Lin Xiaotian directly; he was in the mood to play with his prey.
"Dare to disrupt me? I won't kill you easily. I'll make you wish you were dead, and I'll show everyone here how powerful I am, and make you realize what true fear is."
As he finished speaking, his fist was already close to Lin Xiaotian's face. Lin Xiaotian stood there without dodging or evading, as if he had completely forgotten about the attack.
Seeing the fist about to hit his shoulder, Lin Xiaotian suddenly raised his hand with a light movement and directly grasped the man's fist.
A mocking cold smile appeared on his face.
The fist, heavy as a thousand pounds, stopped in front of Lin Xiaotian, as if it had lost all its force.
The long-armed man was stunned. His eyes widened with disbelief and shock. A storm raged in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't retract his fist.
He felt as if that hand was an iron clamp, tightly gripping his wrist.
Before he could react, Lin Xiaotian's voice rang out.
"I'm too lazy to waste more time with you. If you want to lay a hand on someone by my side, you should know the consequences."
"And let me tell you, the woman you desire is mine. If you dare to set your sights on someone close to me, you can't afford the consequences."
The moment his voice fell, he moved with lightning speed and delivered a fierce slap across the long-armed man's face.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap was exceptionally loud.
The long-armed man was dazed, stars dancing in his eyes. He stood in front of Lin Xiaotian, swaying slightly. If his arm hadn't still been held by Lin Xiaotian, he might have fallen to the ground.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced. "Is that all?"
"Did you not eat?"
"With this little strength, you dare to act arrogant in front of me? Then you truly deserve to die."
