Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 684 - 656 Loyalty and Righteousness
The Tiger Charm gang leader nodded, but was still somewhat uneasy.
Suddenly, the second in command of Tiger Charm laughed and said, "Big brother, this time we've really made a great achievement. That person said, as long as we ambush the apartment and capture someone, that's best, but if we don't, it's not mandatory. However, now that we've caught someone, we've gained another bargaining chip, and we've taken another step forward in our quest for revenge."
The Tiger Charm gang leader sneered and remained silent.
Lin Tian, pretending to be asleep nearby, heard everything clearly. Their main goal for attacking the apartment wasn't to capture someone—what then?
The person they were talking about.
Who was that person?
Obviously, referring to him as such, he was definitely not one of Tiger Charm's own.
And hearing the tone when Tiger Charm mentioned him, that person seemed very strong, seemingly leading Tiger Charm.
That person was also an enemy of Lin Tian.
Lin Tian's head was spinning. How had he unwittingly made so many enemies?
After a while, the Tiger Charm gang leader spoke up.
"Lin Tian is now nearly in full control of Wu'an City. With He Qianqian captured, Lin Tian will definitely try to find her. We can't stay here long, our mission is complete. Let's hurry back and hand over He Qianqian to that person."
"Yes."
The third in command of Tiger Charm lifted Lin Tian, ready to run.
"Hold on!"
The man in the leather jacket, who had been silent up till now, spoke up.
All three Tiger Charm members were startled and looked towards him together.
He walked over to Lin Tian, examining him closely, a sinister flame flickering in his eyes.
Seeing a beauty like He Qianqian, no man could resist coveting her, after all, she was truly beautiful.
The leather-jacketed man stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Lin Tian's chin, a lascivious and infatuated expression on his face.
Lin Tian shivered, his buttocks clenched, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Could you not, I'm scared!
The man in the leather jacket shouted, "Put her down."
Tiger Charm knew what he meant, anger flashing in their eyes as they clenched their fists. "She is a very important person, and this is a critical moment in dealing with Lin Tian. I hope you don't mess things up because of your actions."
The leather-jacketed man said, "This woman is going to die sooner or later. If I take care of her today, it's a favor to her. You all back off. After I've enjoyed myself, I will call for you."
"You...!"
The third in command of Tiger Charm clenched his fists, wanting to punch the man.
But he was stopped by the gang leader, who said angrily, "This is Lin Tian's turf. Hurry up, or else not only will we die, but you will too."
"Hmph!"
The man in the leather jacket was nonchalant. He was now completely infatuated with "Lin Tian," having lost his reason.
The three Tiger Charm members walked to the side, sitting on the steps in a huff. When the leather-jacketed man saw the three leave, he stared at "Lin Tian," swallowed, rubbing his hands together eagerly, nearly drooling.
"Little baby, here I come!"
Without any hesitation, his hands shot towards "Lin Tian's" chest.
This was ridiculously awkward.
Dumbfounded!
It was firm.
It was actually firm!
The leather-jacketed man's enthusiasm waned by half.
It's silicone!
But could silicone be this hard?
He squeezed hard and, damn it, he actually pulled out a "breast." He stumbled backward, landing with a thud on the ground.
Ignoring the pain, he stared at the two large apples in his hand, stunned.
They were apples, apples.
At that moment, Lin Tian stood up, flinging off his high-heeled shoes, one flying straight at the leather-jacketed man's groin.
With a miserable scream, veins bulging on his forehead, he spasmed from the pain.
His pig-like screams echoed in Lin Tian's ears. With that kick, Lin Tian had ruined the second half of his life.
Finding his screaming grating, Lin Tian sent the other high heel flying, which lodged in the man's mouth.
Now there was no sound.
Hearing the commotion, the three Tiger Charm members ran back, and Lin Tian revealed his true face.
"Lin Tian!"
The Tiger Charm gang leader shouted in surprise.
"That's right, it's me," Lin Tian said, standing with his arms behind his back, calmly.
The Tiger Charm gang leader knew Lin Tian's strength; the three of them together were no match for Lin Tian.
"Number Two, Number Three, run! Lin Tian, I'll hold him off," he said and charged at Lin Tian.
Contrary to Lin Tian's expectations, Number Two and Three didn't even blink before they turned tail and ran.
Lin Tian figured they must be a team, like he used to be with Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong, but they deserted each other so quickly in the face of danger. That seemed a bit too heartless!
The gang leader's actions were indeed the right choice, but it seemed a bit inhumane. If it were Lin Tian, Xiahou Qingyi, and Li Chong, they would stick together through life and death—an approach that might be foolish but was loyal and righteous.
It seemed that Tiger Charm had been trained to be ruthless, and a heartless assassin was the most terrifying.
The gang leader desperately tried to entangle Lin Tian. Although his movement technique was elusive, his strength was far inferior to Lin Tian's. Within a minute, Lin Tian had beaten him down, leaving him spitting blood, no longer able to stand.
Lin Tian looked around, but there was no sign of the other two Hu Mei.
The leader of Hu Mei faced death with equanimity, staring at Lin Tian with a cold laugh, "Haha... To trade my life for the escape of my two brothers, my death is worthwhile, too worthwhile, hahaha...!"
"Hahahaha...!" Lin Tian also laughed heartily, his laugh confident, spirited.
"What are you laughing at?" He suddenly had a bad feeling and asked.
Lin Tian extended a hand, and in that moment Wang Ying arrived with a group of Celestial Generals, escorting the two captured Hu Mei.
"What, you...!"
The Hu Mei leader cried out in shock, his face full of astonishment!
Earlier, Lin Tian had given Wang Ying and the others a tracking device, specifically in order to guard against this trick by Hu Mei.
Wang Ying said, "Big brother, these two guys really are strong. Even after our tight encirclement, they almost got away, especially him, who also injured one of our brothers, damn it!"
He brutally kicked the buttocks of the second Hu Mei.
This time, all four of them were captured.
Lin Tian first approached the man in the leather jacket and demanded, "Who are you, and what is the purpose of your being here?"
The man in the leather jacket was very angry now, as if he hadn't heard Lin Tian's question.
Lin Tian showed no mercy and directly broke one of his fingers.
"Will you talk or not?"
"Ah... I'll talk, I'll talk, I am...!"
Just as the man in the leather jacket began to speak, the Hu Mei leader kicked out, sending a stone flying accurately into the man's temple. The man in the leather jacket died instantly.
"You...!"
Lin Tian couldn't get a word out and furiously pointed at the Hu Mei leader.
Wang Ying raised a foot and fiercely kicked the Hu Mei leader.
The leader vomited a mouthful of acid, his body radiating a murderous aura, staring intently at Lin Tian and Wang Ying.
Lin Tian approached the Hu Mei leader and said, "Speak, what exactly is your purpose? If you don't talk, you are going to die."
The Hu Mei leader stood tall and proud, without a trace of fear in his eyes. Facing death, he said, "We people of Hu Mei are never afraid of death."
As he spoke, he exuded an aura of dominance. Even as a prisoner, he still maintained an attitude of disdain towards Lin Tian, somewhat arrogant and presumptuous.
Lin Tian saw that he truly was not afraid of dying.
If he wasn't afraid to die, what about the others?
Lin Tian then approached the third Hu Mei, deliberately releasing a murderous intent. Surprisingly, the third man was completely fearless, his eyes filled with anger and no signs of fear.
"Will you talk or not?"
Lin Tian extended his hand and instantly broke two of the third man's fingers. The third man's body trembled in pain, his face turning pale, his teeth nearly biting through his lips, but he didn't make a sound.
A true man, indeed.
Such a person engendered a hint of reverence in Lin Tian; he no longer troubled the third man and walked over to the second man.
The second man's eyes fixed on Lin Tian, not just angry but also with an attitude of victory.
"Lin Tian, whatever you want to know, we would rather die than tell you. You exterminated the Ouyang Family, and even in death, I will curse you to the eighteenth level of Hell, never to rest in peace, hahaha... Soon, you'll join me down there."
"Hahahaha...!"
All three men laughed loudly together.
"Lin Tian, I curse you never to die well!"
After chanting in unison, the three men trembled, their eyes glazed over, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths as they died.
Their eyes were wide open, filled with anger, fixed on Lin Tian, as if trying to see through his soul, to see him through.
Suddenly, Lin Tian felt a hint of fear. These three men could be crushed with a flick of his finger, but in this moment, he actually felt afraid.
He was not afraid of their strength, but of the spirit they carried.
Fearless, ready to face death!
Now, Lin Tian finally understood why the second man had a victorious look in his eyes.
They hadn't let Lin Tian get any information; that was their victory.
Life and death were not important; what mattered was their mission, the responsibility they bore on their shoulders.
Too terrifying.
He had always thought nobody was unafraid of death, that in the face of death, humans are frail.
But now he realized he was wrong; there truly are people unafraid of dying—these three Hu Mei were not afraid of death.
Then, Wang Ying examined the mouths of the three men and discovered the broken medicine pouches.
"Big brother, they had poison hidden behind their teeth. They bit into the poison and committed suicide," Wang Ying reported.
"Ah..."
Lin Tian sighed.
They had sought to avenge the Ouyang Family, to confront Lin Tian, and for the sake of revenge, for the now-gone Ouyang Family, they would rather die than yield.
Without greed for wealth, without desire for profit.
Why they did it was perhaps best explained by the words "loyalty and righteousness."
Lin Tian said, "They were men of loyalty and righteousness; bury them with honor."
Wang Ying nodded, then asked, "What about him?"
He was pointing to the man in the leather jacket.
Him, huh!
"Feed him to the dogs!"
Lin Tian spoke, turned around, and walked away. With the death of these three men, his mood was also quite heavy!
