Chapter 1159 Do You Have the Ability to Stop Me?

"You’ll find out soon enough if you’re wrong." Rochester approached the German man. "Sir, you..."

The German suddenly fell towards Rochester, practically draping himself over him. His hands clutched at Rochester’s collar as he slid down and collapsed to the ground, convulsing. Shortly after, he stopped breathing.

Rochester screamed in shock, his eyes wide as he kicked the German man with his foot. After a few more unconscious twitches, there was no further movement. "Wh-what’s going on?"

"Let me take a look!" A shadow pressed down from above Rochester’s head, and he mechanically turned his neck to see Xiao Lin’s face magnified in front of him.

"It’s, it’s, it’s you!"

At the moment of falling, Xiao Lin did see a very fine Silver Needle fly by, but despite searching the entire corpse, no puncture point was found, surprising him. "Young Master Xiao, did you find anything?"

"He’s dead!" Xiao Lin said three words and stood up, his answer leaving Rochester speechless.

Rochester walked to Miller. "Please come with me for a moment!"

Miller stared blankly at Mr. Su on the sofa, his eyes dazed. He passed by Robert, moved his lips, but was taken to a police car by Rochester, while the corpse was arranged to be sent back to the station, leaving only a few to question witnesses and collect statements.

Xiao Lin looked a bit distracted at Mr. Su. He didn’t seem to be in a coma, just staring with wide eyes.

Mr. Su’s appearance was extremely odd. Xiao Lin squatted in front of him, waving his right hand, but Mr. Su’s eyes did not respond—a result of being excessively frightened.

There was a small pool of blood on the ground, resembling a semi-coagulated state. The German died suddenly, without any wounds or traces of blood on him, clearly someone else’s blood.

Xiao Lin’s gaze moved to the door; the damage caused by ’Wu Yue’ was not as exaggerated as a forced shell explosion, but the intensity of the attack was significantly more violent than normal brawls. The reporter wasn’t from the second floor. Aside from his group, the most seen were the guards, inferring Robert initially intended to capture Mr. Su, sealing the second floor. Yet, ’Wu Yue’s appearance caused chaos.

Glancing at the person dazed on the sofa, Xiao Lin walked out. The carpet had an inconspicuous footprint, not precisely a footprint but a mark from the edge of a shoe. Although only a pinky finger’s length, it revealed much. Before the police arrived, the place had been cleaned, with guards outside the box.

’Wu Yue’s poison does not choose targets; those closest to the poisoned often become victims. Mr. Su had external wounds, but not severe ones. Robert wasn’t foolish; without acquiring his desired items, he wouldn’t kill Mr. Su this way. So who invisibly poisoned the bodyguard? If earlier, ’Wu Yue’ in Gambino and Lucchesi clan regions was planted by Shao Weihua for current drug routes, repeating this in the venue would be meaningless. Killing requires motivation, though there might be, it’s neither sufficient nor reasonable.

At that moment, the person on the sofa moved, then began convulsing, bearing striking resemblance to the earlier German man. Xiao Lin quickly returned to Mr. Su, laying him flat on the sofa; his twitching limbs curled, muscles began to atrophy. Xiao Lin shouted ’Not good’ and swiftly pressed several main meridian points to protect his heart, but it couldn’t alleviate his bizarre symptoms.

Silver Needle, it must be the Silver Needle! Sharp eyes scanned the room; in the space surrounded by three walls, apart from himself and Mr. Su, there were no traces of others. An unfamiliar aura was an invisible presence. Xiao Lin clearly knew there was no one here, but definitely someone observing their every move from somewhere.

Clap! Clap! Clap! The sound of clapping came from behind, and Xiao Lin slowly stood up. Somehow, Robert appeared at the box’s entrance. His uncomfortable gaze shifted back and forth on Mr. Su, his uncertain expression showing a desire to gobble someone whole. "Young Master Xiao, why is it that every time you’re around, I end up unlucky?" Xiao Lin silently stared at Robert. "This time has been a significant loss."

"Mr. Robert jokes. I’m just here celebrating with friends, and your guest having issues—should I be responsible for that too?"

"Celebrating with friends? This isn’t your box, so I’m curious why Young Master Xiao is here. Is it because you love meddling too much or your party was too boring?" Saying this, Robert stepped forward, soon standing at Mr. Su’s head. "This guest appears injured, perhaps our medical staff can assist. Could Young Master Xiao move aside a bit, facilitating me taking this guest away?"

Xiao Lin didn’t move a step; on the contrary, he took a step toward Mr. Su and stood in front of him. "What do you mean by this? If something were to happen to this gentleman and the police came knocking, who would I answer to?"

"There’s no one else here, save the theatrics for the police."

"Ah!" Robert chuckled twice. "So, it means Young Master Xiao isn’t planning to hand over the person, or is it that the goods are already in your possession?"

"Going to such lengths for something that no longer exists, Robert, don’t you find what you’re doing a bit foolish? Aren’t you afraid the police will keep their eyes on you?" A gleam flashed in Xiao Lin’s eyes. "There are traces everywhere here. You just left without taking your man away, promoting someone who betrayed his master - you’re quite bold."

"I trust my people very much, so there’s no need for Young Master Xiao to worry. However, if you insist on taking this gentleman away, I’m afraid neither you nor your friends will be able to leave this door tonight." In a dangerous tone, several thugs appeared behind Robert, each looking extremely menacing.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Of course, I think Young Master Xiao wouldn’t want to implicate innocent people. Those unarmed girls are very charming, it wouldn’t be good to leave scars on their faces or bodies." A sinister laughter rang out, and Xiao Lin’s eyebrows immediately relaxed.

"I have a bad habit, which is, I don’t like being threatened. Although I let you off in ’Wagangnai’ last time, thinking that you’d learn from having suffered twice, I didn’t expect the master to have such servants."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, maybe the language of our country is profound, and someone like Mr. Robert might not understand. Do you think disposing of the body will cover up everything that happened here?" Xiao Lin suddenly stepped forward, pressing close to Robert. "Let me tell you, this is just the beginning." He whispered softly in Robert’s ear, only loud enough for the two of them to hear.

"Was it you who did it?" As if electrified, Robert suddenly retreated a step, his whole body shivering. The ’Wu Yue’ poison is colorless and tasteless, varied in form, changing with the dissolving agent’s properties. He frantically patted his body with his hands, having been so close to this person just now, he could have been contaminated at any time.

Hahahahaha! Xiao Lin laughed wildly, the doubts in his mind growing heavier. Robert was not the one who poisoned, Mr. Su and his trading partners, Robert and his subordinates, the poisoner was among these people. Another possibility surfaced: one of Lorin’s people might have done it.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?" Xiao Lin picked up Mr. Su and walked out. "Do you have what it takes to stop me?"

Xiao Lin took a step forward; Robert and his men instinctively retreated a step. Now, no one dared approach Xiao Lin, everyone feared him, no one wanted to be devoured by ’Wu Yue’.

With a contemptuous smile on his lips, Xiao Lin walked out of room three; if he were alone, he’d definitely be able to leave, but Xia Xue was still inside.

"Lin!" Xia Xue had been waiting and began to worry when Xiao Lin didn’t return for a long time. More strangers guarding the door changed the atmosphere of what was originally a happy gathering. Plus, after Lorin’s friend encountered trouble with the opposition, the gathering was postponed. They intended to leave and find another place but were interrupted by police needing statements, only then learning someone had died outside. Xiao Lin rushed out upon hearing this; statements were finished, but he hadn’t returned, so she wanted to check outside.

After seeing Fourth Master’s ethereal beauty, this woman’s freshness felt more relatable—a celestial sun versus a lotus in water. Though neither were easy to obtain, the latter posed less difficulty.

Xia Xue noticed Robert’s gaze and turned to scrutinize the bold man. Proudly, she frowned at the leering eyes. "Lorin and they said to find another place. Can we go now?"

"Yes, you go wait in the car with them; I’ll be down soon." Robert’s gaze never left Xia Xue, his invasive stare instantly sparking Xiao Lin’s murderous intent. Holding Mr. Su, a sharp spike was already showing its tip.

"I’ve always heard Young Master Xiao has a beautiful fiancée. I’m guessing this is the current ruler of Sin City; today she indeed appears like a reincarnated goddess." Robert extended his hand to Xia Xue. "Dear miss, I am Robert, delighted to meet you here. I hope to host a grand party anew for you and your friends, to express my apologies." (To be continued.
