Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 817: Chapter 822: In the Spotlight (Part 1)

Many people were surprised by Lin Xi suddenly stepping forward. Did this female officer have any connections with Zhao Ritian and his group?

If she did, it was best not to provoke them!

Especially for the powerful-looking man with a pitted face who seemed unconcerned just moments ago; his expression had turned serious now.

Zhou Yan turned to look at Lin Xi, a hint of surprise and subtle joy flashing across her face, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Xi didn’t answer the question, but instead with a commanding tone asked again, "Tell me, was he the one who injured you a few days ago?"

Zhou Yan hesitated — not because she didn’t want to tell Lin Xi, but because she was worried about causing trouble or harm for Lin Xi.

After all, the guy with the pitted face was incredibly strong, she had experienced it herself!

She knew Lin Xi was formidable, but wasn’t confident that Lin Xi could be a match for him either.

As for Lin Xi emerging from Zhao Ritian’s group suddenly and what his relation to them was, she had no idea.

While she was hesitating, the man with the pitted face said cautiously, "Sorry, brother, it was indeed me who injured Officer Zhou last time!"

"But it was an accident, I didn’t mean to!"

"And just now, forget what I said, I was just talking nonsense!"

"In Huaxia, how could I dare lay a hand on the police!"

At this moment, he felt a bit anxious, knowing the person before him came from Zhao Ritian’s group and judging by his position among them, seemed to hold a high status.

Hearing his words, Lin Xi stopped on his way to Zhou Yan and turned to look at the man with the pitted face not far away.

"So it was you!" He said, his face showing no expression.

Although expressionless, everyone present could tell Lin Xi was angry, and not just a little bit.

If anyone knew him well, they would know he was ready to kill!

Zhao Ritian glanced at his grandfather, as if to say he wanted to help.

Zhao Lao’s expression was serious as he slightly shifted his attention away from the two elderly men in robes, saying softly, "We remain still, I believe Xiaolin can handle him."

Zhao Ritian considered and thought so too, and he’d noticed the two elderly men in robes seemed to eye their actions carefully after Lin Xi had left.

Zhu Qi stood beside Elder Zhu, his expression unchanging, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

Meanwhile, Elder Zhu couldn’t help but snort coldly, "At such a critical moment, departing the group without consent, is this kid trying to create opportunities for others to exploit?"

"Not helpful and even causing trouble, what’s the point of bringing him here?"

Originally standing with Lin Xi, Avril Jolie’s expression changed, but not because of Elder Zhu’s words, but due to what William had just told her — that the man with the pitted face was named Howard.

This person was a notorious international pirate, his strength comparable to his own.

He was also extremely brutal and twisted, with every person who fell into his hands enduring a fate worse than death.

Moreover, the three people behind Howard included two powerful individuals akin to Kings of Soldiers, also internationally renowned.

Avril Jolie’s expression shifted, and after a moment’s struggle, she took a deep breath before departing Zhao Ritian’s group, heading toward Lin Xi with William.

She knew if Lin Xi got into trouble, neither she nor William would necessarily be safe staying with Zhao Ritian’s group.

After all, she didn’t really know Zhao Ritian and the others.

So right now, that bastard Lin Xi must absolutely not have any mishaps.

Especially when she noticed that each force present was so strong, that without Lin Xi, she and William were essentially the weakest among all.

With her stunning looks, undoubtedly more people would be attracted to her.

At the same time, when Zhou Yan noticed Lin Xi heading toward Howard and his crew, she was anxious and shouted, "Don’t go over there, you’re not a match for them!"

But evidently, Lin Xi didn’t heed her advice.

"That bastard!" Zhou Yan couldn’t help but curse, as she chased after Lin Xi, wanting to stop him.

Avril Jolie’s expression also changed, "William, go help him!"

Meanwhile, Shangguan Nishang’s lips twitched slightly, "Does this idiot not realize the situation?"

But she still signaled to the two family elders to be prepared to assist Lin Xi at any time!

At Shadow’s group of six, Su Xiong frowned, deciding he would jump in to help Lin Xi without hesitation if anything unexpected happened.

"Stop there!" Howard’s expression slightly changed, "I’ve already explained, and you can see Officer Zhou is unharmed!"

As he spoke, a man with a mole on his lip whispered near his ear, "Boss, this person came from that side, and only William and a woman followed him!"

"The others seem indifferent!"

"You’re suggesting even if I make a move against him, they won’t intervene?" Howard questioned.

The man with the mole nodded, "Under normal circumstances, they might step in, but now it’s unlikely, given their own opponents are waiting in ambush, unable to spare any attention!"

Howard paused, seemingly convinced.

But this moment wouldn’t allow him to ponder, as Lin Xi’s slow approach turned sudden and swift, seemingly in the blink of an eye reaching less than five meters away!

"Courting death!" Howard snorted coldly, an intense aura of killing intent emanating from him.

It’s known that he’s no pushover, his temper not as mild as his words had been, otherwise William wouldn’t dread him so much.

Thus, as Lin Xi got within five meters, he and the two behind him didn’t hesitate, darting toward Lin Xi simultaneously.

They intended to strike with severity!

After all, to let a young kid provoke them like this would be embarrassing if not dealt with decisively.

Though they didn’t dare kill, they wouldn’t overlook Zhao Ritian’s face, given Lin Xi came from his group.

Approaching Lin Xi, William frowned, realizing he couldn’t catch up!

He hoped Howard’s group wouldn’t strike too hard!

Zhou Yan’s expression changed as she halted, knowing she couldn’t do anything up close and might mess things up.

Their movements were so quick she dared not fire her weapon, fearing she might accidentally hit Lin Xi, which would be a joke.

Su Xiong had some understanding of Lin Xi’s abilities, so he wasn’t in a rush to act, while Shangguan Nishang, unfamiliar with Lin Xi’s skills, prepared to have the family elders intervene.

Zhao Ritian was still more anxious, even though his grandfather had assured him earlier, but he was still worried.

After all, the opponents were infamous international fighters, and it wasn’t a one-on-one fight; truly despicable!

Just as he was about to speak to his grandfather, Zhao Lao suddenly exclaimed in bewilderment, and the two elderly robed men, usually emotionless, displayed a hint of surprise.

Even Elder Zhu, who had disregarded Lin Xi’s side, couldn’t hold back and looked over.

Seeing, his expression involuntarily shifted slightly!

It was at this moment that Lin Xi exchanged blows with Howard and his three men.

But merely after one exchange, one of Howard’s men, specifically the man with a mole at his lip, was sent flying backward.

With a "bang!", he crashed hard to the ground, his face showed a trace of disbelief.

However, the man’s chest was deeply sunken, devoid of breath.

Yes, dead beyond doubt!

In an instant, the ancient mine fell eerily silent, even the two junior Kings of Soldiers who’d been studying the mechanisms stopped to look over.
