With a clang, Liu Yilin kicked the Alfa dozens of meters away, leaving a trail of sparks on the ground. The five-meter-long Alfa was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Only then did Liu Yilin release Huang Fan's collar, even carefully tidying his crumpled collar. "Now, do you know how lucky you are that your son is still alive?"
Huang Fan nodded mechanically, his spirit utterly broken.
"Stop thinking about avenging your son. You can have another son, but you can't bring back a life."
After saying this, Liu Yilin stamped her foot on the ground. With a boom, a cloud of dust erupted, and Liu Yilin transformed into a streak of starlight, vanishing into the distance.
After Liu Yilin left, Huang Fan's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground, his body trembling.
What kind of people had his son offended?
Just over ten minutes ago, Huang Fan had felt invincible. Now, his will was shattered.
If the other party were ordinary people, even wealthy or influential ones, Huang Fan would not have been afraid. He, Huang Fan, had seen his fair share of the world.
But the other party could fly and easily kick a car into scrap metal. Killing him would be easier than crushing an ant.
In such a situation, how could he avenge his son?
Huang Fan, slumped on the ground, looked utterly dejected. After an unknown amount of time, he was seen getting up, his teeth gritted. "I will definitely avenge my son. So what if they can fly? I don't believe bullets can't stop them."
With that, Huang Fan left on foot, his teeth still clenched.
Not long after, Huang Fan spent a large sum of money, asking a friend overseas to help him hire an ace assassin.
To avenge his son, Huang Fan knew he lacked the ability. But he had money, connections, and influence. As long as he could avenge his beloved son, no price was too high, no amount of money too great.
Meanwhile, Liu Yilin was unaware of Huang Fan's intentions or that he would hire an assassin to deal with her and Ning Beichen.
For her and Ning Beichen, the powers of the mortal world posed no threat. Forget ace assassins; even if Huang Fan hired every assassin in the world, it would be useless.
However, this was also due to Liu Yilin's lack of experience. If it were Ning Beichen, he would have simply killed Huang Fan then and there, preventing him from causing further trouble. When dealing with enemies, one should not expect them to let go of their hatred.
Even if he didn't kill him, he should at least make him experience true fear, so much so that even in nightmares, the mere thought of Ning Beichen would drive him mad.
Because Huang Fan was willing to spend money, an ace assassin soon took the job.
The assassin who took the job was named Eight-Armed Buddha, though this was merely a nickname. He did not literally have eight arms.
This nickname originated from the Buddhist concept of Vajra with three heads and six arms. To demonstrate his superiority, he named himself Eight-Armed Buddha, implying he was even more formidable than a being with six arms.
Furthermore, Eight-Armed Buddha was a true ace assassin, or rather, a top-tier assassin. Since his debut, he had never failed.
Any target he accepted was never missed.
His only drawback was his exorbitant fee; only the extremely wealthy could afford him.
Soon, a short, sallow-skinned man named Long Ji entered the ancient Eastern country and arrived in Haizhou New City.
This man named Long Ji was none other than Eight-Armed Buddha.
The reason he accepted this mission was that he happened to be traveling in a nearby country and, seeing how close the destination was, casually accepted the commission.
After all, few people could afford him. The cost of hiring him alone could hire three ace assassins internationally.
However, Eight-Armed Buddha's high price had its reasons; he had never failed, and there was no target he couldn't eliminate.
"This must be the target's company," Eight-Armed Buddha thought, arriving at Liu Yilin's company. He didn't want to wait for night or strike at her home. He wanted to do the most difficult thing: eliminate her at her company.
However, this commission was to kill two people: Liu Yilin and her boyfriend, Ning Beichen.
He was now preparing to deal with the first target, Liu Yilin.
Perhaps Huang Fan was worried about Eight-Armed Buddha's high fee. In the information he provided, Liu Yilin was merely an ordinary female CEO, with no mention of her terrifying abilities.
Eight-Armed Buddha, posing as a client, quickly entered Liu Yilin's company building and easily found her office.
However, it was unfortunate that Liu Yilin was not in her office.
Eight-Armed Buddha swaggered over, sat down in Liu Yilin's office chair, and then looked at a selfie of Liu Yilin in a photo frame on her desk, grinning.
He flipped the photo frame over, pointed his finger at Liu Yilin in the picture, made a gun gesture with his finger, and uttered a "bang" to match.
"Lucky for you."
Soon, Eight-Armed Buddha left Liu Yilin's office.
Since he couldn't find her, he would go after the second target.
Eight-Armed Buddha was confident, a confidence stemming from his skills.
Few knew that Eight-Armed Buddha dared to call himself Buddha because he truly possessed the essence of a demon Buddha, which was the reason for his never-ending success.
Soon, Eight-Armed Buddha arrived at Ning Beichen's home. He made no attempt to hide his presence, entering Ning Beichen's house through the front door quite openly.
Upon entering the living room, he saw a man sitting by the window, dressed in simple attire, holding a seemingly ancient thread-bound book.
Eight-Armed Buddha immediately recognized the man reading the book as his target, Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen put down the book, looked up at Eight-Armed Buddha, and offered him a friendly smile.
"A guest has arrived, please have a seat," Ning Beichen said.
Ning Beichen had known of Eight-Armed Buddha's arrival in the ancient Eastern country as soon as he entered.
Although he had been away for a long time, the Dark King's intelligence network was still operational.
Therefore, the news of Huang Fan hiring Eight-Armed Buddha to kill him had reached Ning Beichen's ears immediately.
Eight-Armed Buddha had no idea that his every move was under Ning Beichen's surveillance, with reports on even the precise times he used the restroom or ate being relayed to Ning Beichen.
Eight-Armed Buddha was also a confident man, and he actually sat down openly, then smiled at Ning Beichen and said, "Someone hired me to kill you."
"I know," Ning Beichen replied calmly.
His demeanor was as if he were welcoming Eight-Armed Buddha to kill him.
"You're not afraid at all," Eight-Armed Buddha said to Ning Beichen.
"Should I be? Do you want me to play along?" Ning Beichen retorted.
