Urban Super Soldier King
Chapter 400 - 400 400 These are just the beginning

400: Chapter 400 These are just the beginning 400: Chapter 400 These are just the beginning Hearing Xiang Yu speak these words so unabashedly, Shen San couldn’t help but be taken aback.

He had thought that Xiang Yu’s goal was to become Zhong Huashan’s personal bodyguard, after all, that was a position many dreamed of obtaining.

But now it seemed that Xiang Yu didn’t care about that role at all, and from his words, it was evident that he didn’t consider Zhong Huashan a big deal.

At this moment, Xiang Yu’s gaze was sharp and profound, as if it were a black hole that would trap anyone who looked into it, unable to extract themselves.

That kind of indifference, that murderous intent, couldn’t be feigned.

Sitting there, Shen San suddenly felt as if he was in an icy cave, surrounded by darkness, with only Xiang Yu’s gaze and himself in the entire world.

It was then that he realized how little he actually knew about Xiang Yu.

He had thought that in this city, he was the person who knew Xiang Yu best.

Xiang Yu was skilled, very capable, and in another city, a dominant figure.

But these characteristics weren’t unique—there were many people like Xiang Yu.

Therefore, although Shen San valued Xiang Yu, he hadn’t conducted a thorough investigation.

This was what made him feel so estranged from Xiang Yu now.

After a moment’s daze, Shen San quickly snapped back to reality and sprang up from the couch.

He had to admit, for a brief moment he had felt fear, a fear that came from deep within, leaving him feeling profoundly ashamed.

After all, he was a respected boss himself and to have been frightened by Xiang Yu, who wasn’t even Zhong Huashan’s bodyguard yet—just a squad leader under Miao Honglei—at best.

The gap between their statuses was not just a small one.

“Who exactly are you?” Shen San took a half step back, trying to maintain some distance from Xiang Yu.

“You invited me up to buy time, didn’t you?

Are other people on their way here now?” Xiang Yu’s cold gaze fixed on Shen San.

Shen San was suddenly dazed.

How did Xiang Yu know his plan?

Since he knew Shen San’s intent, why was he still spending so much time with him?

“Who exactly are you?” Shen San asked again with suspicion, his consecutive inquiries about Xiang Yu’s identity revealing the fear he was beginning to feel.

In the past, he admired Zhuge Tian the most because Zhuge Tian was very smart, able to anticipate almost anything.

So even though Zhuge Tian hadn’t been with him long, he granted Zhuge Tian significant authority, allowing him to become his chief strategist.

Indeed, after Zhuge Tian joined him, many issues were smoothly resolved, and his power kept growing.

Yet, Zhuge Tian was killed by Xiang Yu while trying to save the boss.

At that time, Shen San was deeply grieved; Zhuge Tian was his treasure, and according to his understanding, Xiang Yu shouldn’t have been able to kill Zhuge Tian.

If he had killed him, then it must have been a fluke, or a blind cat running into a dead rat, for he trusted Zhuge Tian too much.

Only at this moment did he fully understand that Xiang Yu’s killing of Zhuge Tian was no coincidence.

The Xiang Yu before him was too unnatural, like the air around him, always watching, aware of his every move.

Xiang Yu was the second person he respected, but what exactly was his goal?

“Your invitation for me to come up was nothing more than a way to buy time, and also to intensify the conflict between me and Luo Lin, so that you could take advantage of the situation, right?” Xiang Yu said as he moved towards Shen San.

Shen San looked at Xiang Yu in disbelief, retreating continuously while shaking his head and muttering to himself, “Impossible, you can’t possibly know so much, you must be guessing all of this.”

Xiang Yu didn’t speak and then took steps to approach the figure in front of him.

“Why would you dare to approach if you knew my intent?” Shen San retreated backward, suddenly finding himself ridiculous.

He had intended to outsmart Xiang Yu, yet the latter had known all along.

“As I already said, it’s to kill you,” Xiang Yu said indifferently.

“The brothers below are the boss’s men; he wants them alive.

In front of them, how could I possibly raise my hand to strike?”

At this point, Xiang Yu suddenly took a quick step forward, then swiftly grasped the other’s neck.

Shen San never expected Xiang Yu to suddenly make a move, as he had planned to shout out.

After all, this was his territory; any noise he made would surely bring his brothers rushing in, and that’s why Shen San had been bold enough to remain alone in a room with Xiang Yu.

Yet, in the end, he had underestimated Xiang Yu.

Moreover, Xiang Yu’s behavior upon entering had suggested an ambiguous relationship with Shen San, which lowered the guards of Shen San’s subordinates.

Even the people outside conscientiously moved a bit further away, so they couldn’t hear any minor noises from inside.

Shen San cast a reluctant glance towards the door; he was only a little more than a meter away, but even that one meter’s distance prevented him from signaling for help.

“Why?” Shen San, sensing the crazy intent to kill in Xiang Yu’s eyes, asked somewhat puzzled.

“Because you owe society too much,” Xiang Yu said coldly.

He then grabbed Shen San’s head with both hands and twisted forcefully.

With a snap, Shen San was dead, beyond any doubt.

Poor Shen San didn’t understand one thing before he died: his debt to society had nothing to do with Xiang Yu.

Could it be that Xiang Yu was an angel maintaining world peace?

Shen San would never understand this question now, as he left this world with this doubt.

Ironically, ever since he arrived here, Xiang Yu had been fantasizing about the day he would kill Shen San—a grand scene, just like the last time he rescued the boss.

But he never expected it to happen like this.

There he was, inside Shen San’s office, surrounded by Shen San’s brothers, yet Xiang Yu brazenly killed him.

Plans indeed can’t keep up with changes.

Xiang Yu dragged Shen San’s body to the sofa, then dusted off his hands and said, “Goodbye—no, more like, ‘gone’.” After saying that, he walked out boldly.

At this moment, he felt relieved, as if he had finally fulfilled a wish.

But the joy he imagined wasn’t there.

Indeed, he had come to this city to kill Shen San.

However, once he arrived, he realized there were even worse people than Shen San everywhere.

These people’s societal harm was far deeper and more extensive than Shen San’s, so his mission here was far from over; it was just beginning.

Xiang Yu walked out of Shen San’s office with a relaxed face, even greeting Shen San’s subordinates.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s happy and carefree expression, they couldn’t help but glance at each other and sigh.

It seemed their guess was right, Xiang Yu really had something going on with their boss; what they did in the room for so long was anybody’s guess…

They watched with their eyes wide open as Xiang Yu walked out of the villa without anyone stopping him, and likewise, no one went to Shen San’s room—in case Shen San emerged disheveled, how embarrassing that would be…
