Liu Jing's voice was filled with terror: "As long as you give me one chance, I will follow your lead in everything from now on. I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and my words carry weight. The Liu family will also consider my opinions."
"I am definitely useful to you alive. If necessary, you can control me by other means."
A cold smile curved Lin Xiaotian's lips. In a voice only they could hear, he said softly, "For a woman like you, death is your best destination."
"Your continued existence only brings me endless trouble."
"Even if I were to control you with something, it wouldn't restrain your malicious intent."
Liu Jing wanted to say something, but Lin Xiaotian simply smiled faintly and took a few steps back.
At this moment, one of the bodyguards made his move.
He took a telescopic baton from his waist.
The handle of the baton was swung directly at Liu Jing's face.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed.
The blow sent Liu Jing's vision swimming.
Her face was filled with regret.
If she hadn't provoked Lin Xiaotian, perhaps he wouldn't have paid her any mind and wouldn't be bothering with her now.
But she couldn't let go of her hatred, which led to this outcome.
Intense pain coursed through her body, causing her to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
She also roared at Lin Xiaotian, "Lin Xiaotian, you want to use a borrowed knife to kill, but don't forget, this is our Liu family. You came with that bastard Wu Jie. If anything happens to me, my family will never let you go. They will include you in their reckoning."
"You'll stir up a lot of trouble then."
Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. "I have my own ways!"
"As for whether it will cause trouble, that's not for you to decide. It's a question of whether the Liu family wants to court death."
"Today's matter is simply to settle accounts with you."
After speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it. The smell of blood in the air was quite strong.
Those bodyguards certainly didn't hold back.
After just a few blows, Liu Jing was rendered speechless.
Her teeth were forcibly knocked out, and her mind was reeling.
She was in a semi-conscious state.
The fear of death enveloped her, forcing her to remain somewhat lucid.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Wu Jie's contorted, ferocious face.
"Bitch, you dared to kill my nephew. Today, I will end you myself."
He produced a fruit knife from somewhere and pointed it directly at Liu Jing's face, then violently slashed.
It sounded like a knife cutting through leather.
"Ah!"
A miserable scream escaped Liu Jing's lips.
Though a few slashes didn't prove fatal, they left Liu Jing's face a bloody mess.
The cuts on her face were like gaping mouths.
Her pained screams echoed through the villa.
Lin Xiaotian watched for a few minutes before walking out of the villa. He looked around and realized this was not the Liu family's main stronghold, and no other members of the Liu family were present.
However, some of the people he had defeated were starting to stir. A slight smile played on his lips.
He then left the Liu family villa.
The few servants who had woken up heard the screams and immediately rushed to the villa's main hall.
At the entrance, they saw Wu Jie in a frenzy.
Several of them covered their mouths, not daring to speak.
One of them finally reacted.
"Stop watching the show. If we keep watching, we might be silenced. Let's take out our phones and call the family head to report this."
"The Liu family is about to undergo a major change!"
The call was quickly made. The Liu family head, upon receiving the news, was enraged and immediately led his men to the villa.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Lin Xiaotian standing at the villa entrance, a faint smile on his face.
"The guests have finally arrived. I've been waiting here for at least twenty minutes."
"If this is your pace, even the flowers would have wilted by now."
Hearing this, the Liu family head's eyes blazed with fury. "You little brat, are you Wu Jie's dog who opened the door for him?"
"Even if the Wu family head himself came before me today, I would still flay Wu Jie alive."
"Get lost if you don't want to die."
The Liu family head continued his advance without hesitation.
The bodyguards accompanying him cast wary glances at Lin Xiaotian, their eyes filled with readiness to strike, as if they could attack at any moment.
This was their chance to prove themselves.
Lin Xiaotian's lips curved into a slight smile. "Liu family head, I suggest you have a chat with me before going in, because some things you might see could be very painful."
"It's better to just see the result."
"And these few words are very important to you, concerning the survival of your Liu family."
The Liu family head gritted his teeth. All he wanted now was to see his daughter.
"You're just a dog, you're not qualified to speak to me directly. Even Wu Jie behind you is not something I fear, let alone you who are merely..."
Before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian grabbed his neck with lightning speed.
The Liu family head was lifted into the air.
The hand on his neck tightened to its limit, and with a squeeze, the Liu family head's bones felt like they were about to shatter.
The surrounding bodyguards didn't even have time to react before they saw their family head subdued.
Their eyes widened, and they immediately surrounded Lin Xiaotian, their gazes burning with rage.
"Release our family head immediately!"
"Let go of our family head, and we might spare your dog life. Otherwise, you'll be waiting for death!"
Those men glared at Lin Xiaotian with furious eyes.
Lin Xiaotian's face still held a faint smile. "I was willing to talk things out with you, but you don't understand human language."
"You dare to call me a dog? I think you're tired of living too comfortably."
"I'll loosen your bones for you, let you know what pain is, and wake you up."
The spiritual energy within him erupted suddenly.
With an overwhelming force, it surged into the Liu family head.
"Crack..."
A sound like popping beans echoed as all the Liu family head's joints dislocated.
Heart-rending screams erupted from his mouth.
The surrounding bodyguards could no longer recognize him. Without hesitation, they charged at Lin Xiaotian, knives now in their hands.
The blades, with their sharp edges, lunged towards Lin Xiaotian's vital points.
One of the knives swung towards Lin Xiaotian's arm.
