Chapter 226 Invitation (First Update)
Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Invitation (First Update)
"Heh, naive!" Jade Fox noticed Lin Xi’s actions and couldn’t help but mock.
The potency of the hunchback’s poison was something he knew all too well.
Even an adult elephant, if it came into contact with just a trace, would surely die within five minutes, and it would be a death filled with extreme agony.
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
The person who had been poisoned suddenly had a jet-black, inky blood shoot out from their wound, and then his complexion gradually improved. In less than a minute, he was only slightly pale.
"Impossible! Impossible..." Jade Fox shouted in disbelief, almost as if possessed.
Wasn’t the hunchback’s poison supposed to be said to have no cure? It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen it before; even a famous doctor in Southeast Asia was unable to deal with it. Now, how could it be resolved within minutes?
This must be an illusion!
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I, Shi Bao, will be eternally grateful!" Shi Bao’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Having observed Lin Xi just now, he knew this was a man of passion. Even though he sometimes lacked the flexibility to adapt, he greatly admired such people, which was why he acted to save him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered, as he wasn’t some kind of saint.
Lin Xi knew that with people like him, there was no need for politeness. Being too polite would instead become awkward. He then glanced at the fallen Jade Fox on the ground and turned to look at Xu Hong.
Xu Hong was moved. The boss still remembered his matter even until now.
"Thank you, boss!" Xu Hong expressed his gratitude and immediately stepped forward in front of Jade Fox, without a moment’s hesitation, crippled one of Jade Fox’s legs and a foot.
Even for someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as Jade Fox, having his hand and foot broken alive made him scream out in pain. Right now, he wished he could die like the hunchback.
But tragically, he now didn’t even have the strength to commit suicide.
"It’s all because of you!" Jade Fox screamed in agony, glaring at Lin Xi with resentment.
He had failed twice because of him, which would have been tolerable, given that everyone was safe, but how come he appeared again like a haunting spirit and blocked the exit? This made Jade Fox and the hunchback feel utterly hopeless.
If not for Lin Xi, they would have at least a thirty percent chance of escaping.
But now, they could only fight desperately.
"Boss, shall we?" Xu Hong made a throat-slitting gesture.
Lin Xi shook his head. There was no need to stoop to the level of someone who was already crippled, and besides, Shi Bao would naturally deal with it, so they didn’t need to act unnecessarily.
"Take him back!" Shi Bao instructed his two subordinates. Even if Lin Xi hadn’t said to leave Jade Fox alive, he would have made the same choice.
After all, they still hadn’t identified the mastermind behind the previous attack on the young lady.
He then made a phone call to report the situation briefly to Su Xiong. After the call, Shi Bao sincerely said, "We owe it to Mr. Lin today. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to eliminate these two with absolute certainty, and at least one of our brothers would have been lost here."
Lin Xi smiled, indicating it was no trouble. He was looking for these two to settle a score anyway.
Just then, the subordinate who had just been shot with a needle had recovered a fair amount of strength, at least enough to walk. He then said again, "Mr. Lin, would you do us the honor of meeting with my boss who wishes to thank you personally?"
"Sure." Lin Xi nodded. This would not only give Shi Bao and Su Xiong face, but he was also eager to see Su Qiaoqiao again, to check on her cold illness.
Although controlled by the Red Fire Pill, it was only a temporary suppression. The key was to neutralize the cold within her body and compensate for it, which was why Shi Bao noticed Su Qiaoqiao’s improved health.
Xu Hong by Lin Xi’s side was composed, having been through thick and thin, but Xu Fei’s eyes were burning with excitement at the prospect of meeting the legendary figure. It was exhilarating.
