Chapter 1136 Emergency Signal

Qin Lin’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Xiao Lin, threateningly saying, "Xiao Lin, you really have guts. I, Qin Lin, have to admit that. But let me warn you—if anything happens to me, the chairman will never let you go, and neither will the military commission!"

Xiao Lin smiled slightly, forcing the gun barrel into Qin Lin’s mouth. "And if I let you go, will Quan Xianglin let me off? As for the military commission... I’m really not that worried. Qin Lin, you have to know, since there’s such a step in the plan, Quan Xianglin never planned for you to return alive. You’re just the first shot he’s using to start the war. Accept your fate. I’ve said it before, the human heart is the most unpredictable, and your chairman is not as loyal to you as you are to him."

Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Xiao Lin, Qin Lin finally felt fear, but he still couldn’t believe Xiao Lin dared to actually shoot him. After all, his identity was there for all to see, and he thought Xiao Lin just wanted to scare him. Using his tongue to forcefully press against the gun barrel in his mouth, he mumbled, "What do you want? I can give you one last chance to negotiate."

With a trace of pity in his eyes, Xiao Lin slightly opened his mouth and blandly spat out a few words. "Have a safe journey!"

Bang! The muffled gunshot echoed again, the raging bullet directly blew Qin Lin’s head to pieces, bright red blood and vile-yellow brain matter sprayed backward like a shattered watermelon. The heavy smell of blood immediately filled the air, and the horrific scene of the head exploding made one feel faint.

"Being your opponent is truly terrifying!" Black Doctor took the gun from Xiao Lin’s hand, without even making an effort to dispose of the body. Since it was done, there was no intention to hide it. Xiao Lin was gambling on the fact that Quan Xianglin wouldn’t dare engage in an open battle with him right now, meaning the evidence he had wasn’t enough to take down the Xiao Family, or perhaps the evidence itself also threatened him.

"Oh!" Xiao Lin responded with a single sound to Black Doctor’s self-talk. "A truly terrifying opponent is one you can’t see but can feel right beside you. Such people are truly hard to guard against."

Black Doctor glanced at Xiao Lin, the gun in his hand had been wiped completely clean, disassembled into pieces scattered all over the ground. "Are you covering up the evidence for me?" Noticing this, Xiao Lin asked. "Actually, you could create a scene where he committed suicide."

The answer came in the form of Black Doctor’s eye roll and his back as he walked away, for a shadow was moving out from the thicket.

Troy looked a bit dazed at the corpses on the ground, especially at the headless one. His expression was extremely odd, like a child throwing a tantrum, turning around with his lips pursed upwards in displeasure, while his eyes drooped down, a whole look of suffocation and hurt pride. Xiao Lin looked at Troy like this, amused yet gaining no happiness from it, his expression instead becoming more grave.

Regarding Xiao Lin’s seriousness, Black Doctor, after a brief moment of daze, had a realization in his heart. Troy was once again devolving at an exponential rate. Did this mean his accomplishments had reached a higher level in some aspects? As he looked towards Xiao Lin, he got an affirmative answer without saying anything, just lightly sighed in a way others couldn’t perceive.

"Were all these people taken down by you?" He pouted with displeasure, kicking the sand while casting a reluctant glance at Black Doctor.

"Heh, not a bad battle record, right?" Black Doctor exhaled, placing his left hand over Troy’s shoulder, leading him out of the death-tinged circle towards the seaside. Whatever the mood, he just didn’t want Troy to get too involved in these private affairs. "Hey Troy, do you know who I am?"

Troy stopped and, after a moment of confusion, punched Black Doctor. "You’re out of your mind! That’s not how you show off! I hate you the most."

This time it was Black Doctor who was stunned, Troy was angry, it seemed he overthought. He had not forgotten who he was, realizing this made him feel a lot better. "What was up, little thing? What did you encounter?" He quickly ran forward a few steps, grabbing Troy from behind and winking playfully at him.

"A woman! I wanted to bring her back, but she was taken by that powerful guy." Troy sat on the ground, frustratedly grabbing a handful of sand and tossing it away.

"A woman?" Black Doctor curiously sat down with Troy. "This island is full of men, how could there be a woman?"

"I don’t know. In the thicket, I encountered some strange folks, like the figures of Black and White Impermanence. That Bai Wuchang is a woman. We fell into the sea, her clothes got wet, and then I saw... saw, the round spot there." At this, Troy blushed like a youth awakening to love, amusingly naive.

"Black and White Impermanence?" Black Doctor frowned, he hadn’t heard of characters like that.

"He means a couple team," Xiao Lin said, following the two. However, it seemed the former had deliberately overlooked him. "But this couple isn’t top tier in ’Black Crow’, they’re part of the American District ’Black Crow’ organization."

Xiao Lin had been pondering this question all along: how vast and wide was Quan Xianglin’s influence? If the Xiao Family’s power could spread worldwide, did Quan Xianglin have the same foundation? There was a sense that this person was entirely following in the footsteps of the Xiao Family, just copying it. If that were the case, hiding decades of scheming truly sent chills down the spine. Beyond what the old man had mentioned, what else was there that he didn’t know? The old man certainly was hiding, the critical part, the portion that ignited this hatred—where exactly was it?

"Boss!" Troy opened his mouth, cautiously looking at Xiao Lin like a child who had done something wrong. "I, I, I!"

After saying "I" three times, there was no continuation, but his head drooped lower and lower. The long hair, soaked in seawater, formed creamy white crystals — salt. Xiao Lin reached out and ruffled his hair, shaking those laughable crystals loose instantly. "No need to say, I already know."

Though he felt his own transformation, the aura continually bubbling inside, rushing about as if searching for an outlet, made him feel extremely uncomfortable, also very irritable, more like a fire about to burn up, burning from inside out.

"He can’t keep going like this." Xiao Lin looked at Black Doctor, needing no explanation as the latter should understand well what he was saying. Just like this time, sealing Troy’s acupoints could no longer suppress his breakthrough any longer, at least not at this moment as he was powerless. (To be continued.
