Lin Xiaotian saw the guy's face turn extremely ugly, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "As long as you know what you're doing, if you can bring all the people behind you here, maybe I can spare your life. After all, you've become an ordinary person now, without any danger."
"If you can't show your value, then sparing your life would be bringing trouble upon myself."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
The long-armed man nodded frantically, a hint of excitement appearing on his face. He already knew the identity of the people behind the scenes and felt their immense power. Now, he had only one way out, and he had to do as he was told.
Without any hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed a number. Once the other side answered, his eyes were filled with anticipation. "I've handled the matter you mentioned earlier, and I've brought that person to me."
"Now, shouldn't you come and pick him up?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end before they finally said, "We need to confirm."
"If you've really completed it, I'll transfer the money to you directly. I also need you to deliver the person yourself. You know our identities cannot be exposed, otherwise, Lin Xiaotian will find us directly through the demon guards."
"Moreover, we have another plan in place, which requires me to be present to oversee it personally."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian gave the long-armed man a look, signaling him to agree.
The long-armed man, reacting quickly, said, "Don't bother with all that trouble. Just tell me where you are, and I'll deliver the person directly. Once I get my reward from you, our transaction will be complete."
"Besides, you are so powerful, are you afraid I'll play any tricks on you?"
He said this with ease and contentment, as if nothing had happened, completely in a state of joy from completing a task.
The other side hesitated for only a few seconds before agreeing.
After hanging up the phone, the long-armed man immediately put on a fawning expression. "I've temporarily stabilized them. If we rush over now, we might be able to pinpoint their location clearly. I can capture all of them in one go."
"I believe your strength is more than enough to accomplish this easily. Honestly, I don't know much about those people. Only when you meet them will you know if they have any grudges against you."
"This is all I can do, and it's the best opportunity to show my value."
Lin Xiaotian saw the flicker in the man's eyes but pretended not to notice, nor did he expose it. A brilliant smile appeared on his face. "Good, you're very sensible. Take me there immediately."
"As long as we find those guys, I will let you go."
"Your life is now saved."
"I definitely won't betray you. I'll even help you find a place to go wherever you want in this vast world."
The long-armed man's face showed feigned excitement, but inwardly he sneered.
No matter how strong Lin Xiaotian was, he was still a young man, easily fooled. What he said earlier was just to lower Lin Xiaotian's guard. And after making that call, he believed they should have understood his intentions.
They had already discussed it. Even if he called and brought people over, he wouldn't be bringing hostages.
He would only be forced to bring people to find those guys. Their main objective was the woman beside Lin Xiaotian, wanting to make Lin Xiaotian hesitate.
If they had the chance to find Lin Xiaotian in one go and obtain that artifact refining technique from him, it would be their greatest gain.
The two got into a car and drove at extreme speed towards the outskirts. Everything was prepared there to deal with the situation.
When they arrived, a look of surprise appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face, and a smile flickered in his eyes.
"I never expected you people to use this place as your base. If I remember correctly, this wasn't a hunting ground before, but a golf course, which you've now enclosed."
"You've taken up such a large area and are now using it as a temporary residence. You are truly extravagant."
Hearing this, the long-armed man said nothing, only showing an embarrassed smile.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Actually, I discovered it when you were bringing me here."
"Or rather, I guessed it when you were on the phone. You've already set up a net for me here. This perfectly matches your name. The reason you're called this is to tell everyone that anyone who wants to be your enemy will fall into your trap and have no escape."
Hearing this, the long-armed man's pupils contracted sharply. He never expected Lin Xiaotian to say this at this moment. It was clear that Lin Xiaotian knew their plan, but why did he still dare to come?
"You... you don't need to test me. I've already sold them out. Testing me is useless."
This was his real test, to see if Lin Xiaotian truly understood him or was just trying to bluff him with these words.
Lin Xiaotian gave him a knowing smile and walked inside with his hands behind his back.
He gave no answer, which made the long-armed man even more uneasy. Had Lin Xiaotian seen through him so easily?
But upon further thought, he felt something was wrong. If Lin Xiaotian had seen through him long ago, he wouldn't have let him bring him here so easily. At least, he would have taken some precautions, right?
Lin Xiaotian turned to look at him, having seen his thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "You know nothing about power."
"In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are a joke."
