Zhao Jinhai's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "What you're saying is all bullshit. I know you're my enemies and you want to kill me deliberately. You don't need to drag Lin Xiaotian into this."
"Kill me or cut me up as you please. I know I'm no match for you, but don't think you can just end it like this."
"I've already recorded everything you said on my phone and sent it out. Someone will definitely tell Lin Xiaotian about this. If you want to slander Lin Xiaotian, just wait. Lin Xiaotian will never let you off easily."
Hearing this, the expressions of those few people changed drastically, and sharp glints appeared in their eyes.
The masked man gritted his teeth and said, "Good, I didn't expect you to have planned this."
"But so what? Even if Lin Xiaotian knows someone is slandering him, he can't do anything. After all, there's not enough time. Lin Xiaotian is still investigating another matter and doesn't have the energy to pay attention to this side."
"Even if you send the message directly to his phone, it will be too late. We'll just kill you. By the time he gets here, he won't find any clues."
"You're just our first target. We'll continue to hunt Lin Xiaotian. Anyone around him, wherever Lin Xiaotian appears, whether they have grudges or favors, we'll kill them all without mercy."
"We want to let Lin Xiaotian know that everyone related to him must die."
After saying this, the knife in his hand directly slashed towards Zhao Jinhai.
Zhao Jinhai's mind was filled with only one thought.
It's over.
However, as he closed his eyes, he heard no sound. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes in confusion and found that the masked man's knife was stopped about ten centimeters above his head.
The knife didn't fall further. The masked man's eyes were filled with horror, and his movements were frozen, without any reaction.
Zhao Jinhai was a bit bewildered. "If you want to kill me, kill me. Why are you putting on a show?"
He was a stubborn man. Since it had come to this, he didn't need to show any fear in front of them. He had never expected to get out of this alive since entering this world.
The world of the underworld was a melting pot. He should have understood his fate when he fell into it.
He just didn't expect this day to come so soon, and to die so inexplicably. These people were clearly after him, so why did it end up involving Lin Xiaotian?
As his thoughts raced, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"You can't move?"
The masked man's eyes were filled with urgency, but he couldn't make any sound. At this moment, he really wanted to chop the person in front of him, but he couldn't move at all. He felt a cold wind coming from behind him and knew someone had attacked him from behind, but he didn't know what was happening.
Zhao Jinhai seemed to have thought of something and quickly retreated a few steps. A excited smile gradually appeared on his face.
"I knew you people wouldn't have a good end. Now you're finished. Lin Xiaotian is here!"
"You have no idea how terrifying Lin Xiaotian's strength is. You can easily take us all down, but in front of Lin Xiaotian, you're not even as good as ants."
With such a method, he couldn't think of anyone else besides Lin Xiaotian.
The other men in black also understood at this moment that their boss wasn't deliberately playing with Zhao Jinhai; something had really happened. They subconsciously turned their gazes behind them.
Then they saw a person leaning against the doorway, quietly smoking, completely disregarding them.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's still in time. You guys haven't managed to do anything too excessive, but I'm very angry right now."
"Especially what you said just now. You courted death, and you even wanted to harm my friends and family. Even if Old Zhao and I don't have a good relationship, I wouldn't let him die like this. Wouldn't that make me seem too useless?"
"And you guys, get ready. From now on, you are my prey. It's easy for me to pry open your mouths. Every single one of you, none of you will die a quick death. I will show you what the most painful fate in this world is."
As his voice fell, those men in black reacted. They all pulled out sharp long knives and slashed at Lin Xiaotian.
A chilling gleam sounded. None of them spoke, their eyes filled only with intense vigilance and killing intent.
But as the knives came down, they only struck an afterimage. Sparks flew as the knives collided in mid-air. The next moment, they felt as if their bodies were frozen.
Even with all their strength, they couldn't move an inch. Terror appeared on their faces.
None of them had expected such a situation to occur. The fear in their eyes became more obvious, but they couldn't hear any sound, and they couldn't even turn their heads.
Lin Xiaotian suddenly laughed. "Old Zhao, feeling a bit pathetic? Why do your brothers behind you look like they've been scared silly?"
"In your current state, you've probably suffered heavy losses, right?"
Zhao Jinhai's eyes were filled with immense rage, but it wasn't directed at Lin Xiaotian, but at those men. He took a few deep breaths and then solemnly knelt down towards Lin Xiaotian with a bang.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't come, I might be dead by now."
"These bastards are definitely not good people. When they attacked, they even tried to slander you, saying they were implicated by you. I didn't believe them at all, not even a single punctuation mark."
"I know these bastards were definitely after me, otherwise they wouldn't have killed all my brothers. I want to beg Mr. Lin, can you hand these people over to me?"
"I will dismember them alive to mourn my brothers."
He remembered clearly that those brothers had risked their lives to protect him.
