As Xiao Yi stepped out of the last room, a cold sneer played on his lips. His figure sprang from the ground, as though he had suddenly transformed into a massive roc, slicing through the night sky, seemingly heading straight for the deep recesses of the cosmic curtain!

At the very moment his figure leapt from the ground and soared into the sky, not far from the house, a man with a plain face, dressed in exceedingly simple clothes—looking for all the world like an ordinary local civilian, even carrying a hoe over his shoulder, his clothes smeared with faint traces of mud—his eyes widened in shock.

A hand that had been holding a cellphone suddenly clamped over his mouth; the phone fell to the ground, snapping in two with a crisp snap, without him even noticing.

Good heavens, what did I just see?

Flying Man... Yes, a Flying Man, he’s really flying...

Flying...

As his mind reeled with the incredible sight, his pupils suddenly shrank dramatically. The figure, which had seemed so distant and unreal, suddenly enlarged before his eyes, becoming clearer and clearer until, in a mere instant, it was right before him, blurring his vision completely. Then, he felt as though his body had completely frozen in place.

That extreme shock and astonishment that had just been on his face, in a flash, was overrun by boundless fear and endless terror...

This young man before him, whom he would never have thought anything special of if seen walking down the street, looked somewhat skinny—this young man could actually fly... Yes, indeed... he was truly flying...

He had just seen him in the far distance, at least a hundred meters away, but in the next second, the young man’s figure had already appeared before him. And as soon as he appeared, his body seemed to be under a spell, suddenly completely out of his own control, even blinking seemed to stop, with only his thoughts still active...

.........

Under the jurisdiction of M City are seven counties and one district, of which the closest to M City’s center is undoubtedly M County. The new town of M County is fully integrated with the city center; in fact, you could say that half of M City’s urban area is M County.

At the edge of the new county town of M County lies South Wind Town, a town that is not particularly developed and seldom noticed. Most of South Wind Town is nestled within an unbroken range of mountains, except for some areas that border the county town.

At the edge of the town, in an extremely secluded old house deep in the mountains.

A silver-white van slowly pierced through the night and pulled up at the entrance.

A middle-aged man with a simple, kindly face got out, walked slowly to the front door of the building, his eyes alertly scanning the surroundings—a sharp contrast to his benign appearance. He then gently pressed his palm on an inconspicuous spot on the door.

"Squeak!"

As his palm pressed down, the large iron gate in front of the building let out a ’squeak’ and slowly swung open. A man with an indifferent expression appeared at the doorway, glanced at the simple-looking middle-aged man, nodded coldly without a word, and then melted back into the darkness as if he himself had become part of it.

The middle-aged man motioned backward with his hand, and the van slowly drove in.

After the van had proceeded inside, the middle-aged man cast another glance at the darkness behind him before following the van through the gate.

The moment the middle-aged man entered, the gate slowly closed behind him.

About twenty minutes later, another van appeared at the entrance, and the same sequence of events replayed itself, time and again. Each time a car showed up, that man, emotionless and clad in all black, would reappear. And each time, his gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing right through the person coming off the van, involuntarily sending shivers down their spine.

"Mr. Zhao, this is madness, reckless. Do you realize how great the risk is in doing this?" In the grand hall of the house, a handsome man looked furiously at another man standing before him—a brawny figure with a scar that ran across his forehead, making him particularly striking, and an aura of brutality emanating from his entire being—he yelled angrily.

This man was none other than Li Ziming, who had previously encountered Xiao Yi on the highway as he was leaving G City. At this moment, his heart was completely engulfed in rage!

He had already been humiliated on the road by that bumpkin Xiao Yi, who had given him the slip—despite deploying all the power of his cherished car, he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Xiao Yi’s taillights, which had been frustrating enough.

But he could have never anticipated that as soon as he arrived in M City and took a moment to rest, he would hear something absolutely unacceptable to him, that these bastards were carrying out a spree of crazy crimes right in the midst of perilous times!

Wasn’t that simply courting death?

At this point, regret was already overwhelming him. How could he have chosen to work with this group of people?

He was keenly aware of the tremendous blow the Li Family had already taken from the current storm. If anything else were to happen, it would truly be devastating for the Li Family.

So, the moment he received the news, he rushed over in a frenzy to reprimand the person in charge of M City, convinced it must have been this simple-minded, brawny fool who took it upon himself to commit such idiotic acts!

The muscular man with the scar looked at Li Ziming, who was furious, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a disdainful look in his eyes. He didn’t even deign to respond but instead picked his nose and turned away to look at a middle-aged man standing at his lower right, "Zhang San, how are things today?"

"Thank you for your blessings, Master Zhao, today’s tasks are barely completed."

The addressed man’s heart skipped a beat, and he promptly bowed respectfully in response.

"Mmm, good."

The man known as Master Zhao continued to pick his nose and flicked out a clump of dark boogers, casually flicking it aside. With a grunt from his mouth, he turned his attention to another person.

"Thanks to Master Zhao, we barely managed to complete the task."

"......"

As his gaze moved from one to the next, those middle-aged men and women hurriedly replied with respect.

Seeing Master Zhao’s expressions and actions, Li Ziming felt like his lungs were about to explode with fury!

This bastard, he actually dared to ignore and look down on him!

What did he amount to, just a minion of Master Fei, a small fry in charge of a remote backwater like M City, yet he was the young master of the Li Family—directly talking and cooperating with their Master Fei himself!

He was so angry he could barely speak, extending a finger and pointing it firmly at Master Zhao, yet he couldn’t manage to utter a word.

He finally understood the saying "a scholar cannot reason with a soldier," how words fail in the face of brute force. He also finally realized how painful it was to deal with an uncultured, uneducated thug. (To be continued.
