Who would have thought they'd dare to cause trouble again?
Those local gangs... they really weren't afraid of dying.
Lin Nai sighed silently. Honestly, if those people hadn't failed to keep their underlings in line and come looking for trouble with him first,
he wouldn't have emptied out their entire nest.
Well then.
They really hadn't learned their lesson at all.
But whatever. Against those gangs, even with his hands in his pockets, he could beat them until they were clutching their heads and running around in circles.
Alright, he'd make his move at the next corner.
A Small Town with Simple, Honest Folk
Watch closely, this man was called Handsome Guy... no, his name was George.
He was a low-ranking gang member.
His mission this time was to knock out the child he was currently following.
George didn't let his guard down in the slightest, because this child had once beaten him barehanded until he could only clutch his head, with no idea how to fight back.
At first, he and his companion had strolled along leisurely, completely unconcerned.
Following people was what he was best at.
In his eyes, since Lin Nai knew he was being followed, walking into an alley was a mistake!
How could an outsider child possibly know this place better than people like them, who had lived here for who knew how long?
Until Lin Nai vanished around a corner right in front of the two of them.
George immediately panicked!
Their boss had specifically ordered them to bring him back alive!
What were they supposed to do if they lost him now?!
Then he saw his companion collapse.
George's entire body jolted as he stiffly turned his neck.
He found Lin Nai's crimson eyes staring at him with amusement.
Thump, thump, thump!!
His heart stopped!!
Lin Nai showed no mercy and kicked the man in front of him straight to the ground.
Out of habit, he pulled a small knife from the other man's companion's waist and pressed it against George's throat.
George didn't dare move at all.
"Hmm, which gang are you from again? Resin, Fuel, or Keggin?"
After asking, Lin Nai instinctively added, "The gang names around here really are bizarre."
"Not talking?"
Lin Nai noticed the man gritting his teeth tightly without making a sound for ages, and the amusement in his eyes grew even clearer.
"Do you know, there's an old saying in Shenzhou... 'He who understands the times is a true hero'?"
George still didn't say anything.
"Still not talking? No problem. There's no one extra here, and the one unconscious on the ground doesn't count."
"So I can completely show off my talents. I'm sure I can pry open Your Excellency's mouth."
George: Is there any chance you're covering my mouth, so you haven't given me any chance to speak at all?
"Hmm?"
Just as Lin Nai was about to make a move, he sensed something and violently slammed the man in front of him into the wall.
George's vision went black, and he passed out.
Lin Nai hurriedly performed a forward roll, then turned to see a tranquilizer dart embedded in George's body.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... so you want to capture me alive. But bullets didn't work, so why would you think this would?"
Lin Nai spoke disdainfully to the two newspaper-reading men standing in front of him.
"Ciao~"
Then he turned, vaulted over the wall, and bolted.
"Stop!!"
The two burly men immediately followed.
But when they jumped down, they discovered Lin Nai had placed two barricades below before leaving.
That's right.
He'd calculated the placement perfectly.
After the two men jumped down, they hit the obstacle course.
"AAAAAAAH!!!!" ×2
After leaving the alley, Lin Nai heard the deafening screams behind him and couldn't help laughing.
This was pretty interesting...
Ah, no longer interesting.
Looking at the three cars at minimum in front of him, Lin Nai smacked his forehead. Was there really any need for this many people?
"Heh, brat, you won't be running away this time."
A hulking man stepped out of one of the cars.
"You again... Blythe. Last time, I nearly stripped you down to your underwear." Lin Nai curled his lip.
The man immediately craned his neck and shouted, "Slander! I'll sue you for slander!!"
"I haven't even said anything yet. Feeling guilty?"
"Bullshit! That's fucking bullshit!"
"Heh."
Lin Nai snorted, stretched lazily, and began warming up.
"What can this little bunch of people do?"
"Of course, it's not just us." The bald man in front of him revealed a crooked grin.
That expression made Lin Nai freeze.
This guy wasn't about to wave his hand and have three hundred thousand people pop out from somewhere to build him a doghouse, was he?
Then Lin Nai watched the man pull out a... skyrocket?
He lit it and aimed it at the sky.
Sizzle—crackle!!
The skyrocket shot upward.
"What was that?"
"Hmm... according to your Shenzhou saying, it should be, 'One arrow piercing the clouds, and a thousand troops will come to meet it'?"
Lin Nai blinked and stared wide-eyed at the burly man for a moment.
Lin Nai: "You're not an idiot, are you?"
Burly man: "You fucking..."
The main thing was, that thing didn't even explode. Flying into the sky in broad daylight wasn't noticeable either. A phone would have been far more useful...
Why the hell did he set that off?
Perhaps the burly man realized that himself, because he silently pulled out his phone and was just about to make a call.
Then he saw a group of people running over furiously.
The leader had smoke rising from his head, and his hair looked like it had been scorched... wait, had it actually been burned?
"Blythe! You idiot!!"
The newcomer roared.
Then he pulled the remains of the skyrocket from his pocket and cursed at the burly man.
The burly man knew he was in the wrong and couldn't really argue.
So he took the scolding.
"What are you two doing? He's getting away!!"
Another man who had arrived late noticed Lin Nai quietly slipping away and immediately roared.
Lin Nai didn't hesitate in the slightest. "I'm outta here!"
Only then did the two snap back to their senses, leading a huge group after him.
Lin Nai: Heh, I've never had this many people chasing me in this life.
Be confident. Not in his previous life either.
Lin Nai: But I'm not a clown, and there's no Batman coming to catch me.
Don't be fooled by Lin Nai's small body. He was still fast enough to leave the huge crowd far behind.
Until he spotted Kiana in the distance, aimlessly walking along with a little girl.
"Kiana?!"
"Ah! Lin Nai!" Kiana greeted him with a bright smile. "I finished making the copies!"
"Ah... right. And this is?"
Lin Nai pointed at the timid little girl hiding behind Kiana. He'd only been gone for less than an hour, and she'd somehow acquired a child?
"I think she got separated from her parents... I wanted to help her."
"Hmm... well, good luck."
Lin Nai nodded and turned to leave. What a joke, he was still being chased.
"Huh? Lin Nai, are you going back?"
"Not exactly... forget it, I can't get away now."
Lin Nai looked at the gang members flooding in from every direction and sighed helplessly.
Even if he hadn't stopped, he probably wouldn't have gotten away.
He hadn't expected so many people this time.
"Huh! Lin Nai, are you being hunted?!" Kiana's eyes widened.
She didn't understand!
She really couldn't understand!
How had Lin Nai gotten so many people chasing him down in such a short time?
Even when her dad got drunk and caused a scene in a bar, he'd never had this many people beating him up!!
Oh no! Lin Nai hadn't harassed someone and pissed off a crime boss, had he?!
Lin Nai: ???
Lin Nai: Why would you think this body of mine could harass anyone?
And what kind of stereotype was that?
Did Siegfried teach her that?
