Chapter 1300 - 1303: The Reason (Part 2)
Chapter 1300: Chapter 1303: The Reason (Part 2)
"Come with us, don’t force us to act!" Butcher Zhao contemplated for a moment before speaking.
After all, this place had already started a shootout.
It might have already attracted the attention of the relevant authorities; if they lingered, they might not be able to leave.
Getting this thing is strictly prohibited anywhere within Huaxia.
It’s just the question of where it’s easy or difficult to obtain.
This means that here, it’s much, much easier to obtain a gun.
That’s why he said this.
For the four of Lin Xi, it was an unexpected consideration.
Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao were already gearing up, ready for a big fight.
Bai Bing was also prepared, ready to take action.
Though she had rarely fought, she still had the prowess of a King of Soldiers.
Moreover, while her martial abilities weren’t as refined as Lin Xi’s, she could definitely best Qiaoqiao on the same power level.
There was a subtle anticipation within her.
People!
Suddenly gaining power, there’s always an uncontrollable impulse for combat.
However, Lin Xi didn’t plan to act.
He could tell these people were desperados, very hard to intimidate.
Not even if some were subdued.
Take their leader, Butcher Zhao, even if Lin Xi managed to control or kill him, it wouldn’t affect this gang.
Then likely, these people would start shooting.
With so many bullets, Lin Xi could dodge them, but protecting someone else would be much harder.
The same went for Mengmeng.
Of course, they could each carry one and quickly exit.
But is he someone who avoids conflict?
He’s never one to run away.
Crucially, he’s curious about how such a heavily guarded area could suddenly have so many guns.
Unless these organizations have shady dealings.
It feels highly unlikely!
There’s definitely some conspiracy involved!
Though not a social justice hero, these people have provoked him, so they’re in for a rude awakening.
"Fine, we’ll go with you!" Lin Xi said.
As soon as he spoke, Bai Bing and the two youngsters were stunned.
Why not fight?
Why go with this group?
What on earth is he thinking?
Why go with these people!
They thought that if it came down to a fight, they likely wouldn’t end up disadvantaged.
Moreover, if Qiaoqiao and Bai Bing were sent to the perimeter, she and Lin Xi’s father could suddenly start wreaking havoc.
Though not invincible, the gang’s bullets wouldn’t even hit them on this street.
If they can’t hit them, the gang would be in big trouble!
The pair could finish off these gang members one by one.
Even if the numbers multiplied, it would be futile.
The two are Innate; sheer numbers cannot defeat them.
Besides, Lin Xi always carries his Golden Finger, never lacking Spiritual Qi.
Unlike other Innate fighters, who dare not unleash their full potential.
Because once their True Qi is exhausted, they could easily be killed.
As for Mengmeng, she defies normal logic!
She’s a divine dragon!
Even Lin Xi doesn’t know her limits.
He only knows during her birth, she absorbed so much Dragon Marrow into her body.
He figures Mengmeng surely can’t digest it all.
After all, even with his Innate ability, he can’t absorb more than a few drops of Dragon Marrow.
So it stands that much of the Dragon Marrow lies dormant within Mengmeng, supplying her incessantly.
More importantly, constantly enhancing her physique and boosting power.
This ties into her constant progress, despite seemingly doing nothing.
From afar, onlookers hidden within buildings were astonished, surprised yet somewhat expected.
Even if they were strong, with so many armed people, and Butcher Zhao having gone all out this time.
They could raze this street easily.
Only they can’t understand why the authorities haven’t arrived?
This isn’t typical.
Even in other places, they would have come; let alone here.
There’s a significant problem in this scenario.
Many now fear Zhao Tu’s power.
"Looks like they’re done for!"
"I think so!"
"No matter how strong they are, they’re no match for so many people!"
"Such a pity!"
"Such beautiful women falling into Zhao Tu’s hands, they’ll be ruined."
"..."
In no time, Lin Xi and the three were surrounded by hundreds, leaving the street.
They exited the street and boarded a vehicle.
This vehicle was surrounded front, back, left, and right by sturdier, more formidable vehicles.
React recklessly or have any ideas and they’d surely be crushed.
In the end, a massive fleet of vehicles left the area.
Lin Xi’s group was in the car, not bound.
Butcher Zhao’s gang knew tying them up was futile.
Nor did they dare provoke them excessively.
Even though they had confidence in overpowering the four, they couldn’t ensure immediate defeat.
If not eliminated instantly, they’d have troubles.
There’d likely be losses.
So, they focused on control.
Once at their headquarters, he was sure he could eliminate the four.
But they hadn’t anticipated Lin Xi had similar intentions.
Or perhaps he wanted to converse and understand, how they were so audacious!
Daring to provoke him?
Are they truly reckless?
Minutes after they left, a large fleet of police arrived.
Cleaning up the dead and severely injured.
Yet when they asked witnesses about what happened, nobody dared speak.
Simultaneously, there were hardly any people left around.
Everyone knew police would come imminently.
Those who didn’t leave would be questioned.
They dared not speak of what transpired.
Neither party was someone they could, or dared, offend.
Those remaining had reasons preventing departure.
Like the severely injured lying on the ground.
Or shopkeepers at their businesses.
Ultimately, through extensive inquiries and pressure, the police learned of the incident.
Upon hearing four outsiders were kidnapped, they were extremely anxious.
Of course, the informant remained unwilling to testify.
Whatever happens, they wouldn’t pinpoint anyone.
Or else, danger wouldn’t be theirs alone.
Frustrated, the police immediately launched an investigation.
But Zhao Tu had too many bases.
And many remained undiscovered.
Publicly, Zhao Tu appeared as a legitimate businessman, with foreign connections.
Making direct confrontation troublesome.
If provoked, it could trigger issues, even beyond foreign conflicts, involving terrorist organizations.
It wasn’t about fear; recent tensions advised against escalating troubles.
