"Why did you add another 200,000 to him!" Shen Leman asked, holding Wang Xuan's arm.

"Can't let them not make money! I'm not really forcing a sale, I just don't like being ripped off. Besides, why bully a commoner."

"Mmm, darling, I knew you were a good person!" Shen Leman smiled sweetly. She liked Wang Xuan's generosity and domineering attitude.

A Kun and A Bo secretly glanced back. Hmph, women!

"What are we doing later? I took a day off."

"Just quit your job. The garment factory will need you to help me manage it later. Where do you want to go, just say it!" Wang Xuan smiled and stroked Shen Leman's hair.

Women, you've discovered my good points again.

So annoying!

"Let's go shopping, it's been so long."

Seeing Shen Leman's expectant look, Wang Xuan couldn't bring himself to refuse, even though he knew how terrifying accompanying a woman shopping could be.

"Okay, let's go back to the company first and tell them to get back to work."

"It's okay, Boss, we can take a taxi back!"

A Kun said sincerely, making Wang Xuan want to kick him to death. Letting me go shopping with a woman alone? Am I supposed to be the bag carrier!

"Stop talking nonsense, what taxi? Let's go back first."

The naive A Kun thought the boss was concerned about him and was deeply moved.

After dropping the two off at the company, Wang Xuan called his strong younger brothers into the car before setting off again.

"Brother Xuan, does this one look good?"

"It looks good!"

"Brother Xuan, which color do you think I should choose?"

"My Ah Man is naturally beautiful, any color will look good on her!"

"Brother Xuan..."

"Brother Xuan..."

Women shopping are always terrifying, no matter the era.

Two hours later, Wang Xuan felt like he was falling apart. His two younger brothers were also laden with bags. Wang Xuan, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Shen Leman, who was still energetic. "Don't shop for too long at once, you'll get tired. I'll accompany you next time, okay!"

"Then... okay!"

Wang Xuan and his two younger brothers simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. The four of them took the elevator straight to the underground parking lot.

Not long after exiting the elevator, Wang Xuan heard hurried footsteps. He looked up and saw seven or eight people approaching from both sides, their right hands tucked into their chests, clearly with malicious intent.

Most importantly, it felt like he was the target!

"Run!"

Wang Xuan suddenly shouted, grabbing the bewildered Shen Leman and taking off. The two younger brothers subconsciously followed.

Seeing their target trying to escape, the people flanking them pulled out knives from their chests and lunged after Wang Xuan.

"Hurry up and chase him, don't let him get away!"

Hearing the shouts behind him, Wang Xuan's heart sank. Running was just a test, and he hadn't expected they were really after him.

The exit was blocked, making it impossible to go around. The elevator was behind them, and there wasn't enough time to get on it.

The only way now was to get into the car and fight their way out, but the attackers wouldn't give them time.

The weapons in their hands weren't ordinary slicers; they were clearly meant to kill him. Wang Xuan made a decision instantly.

"Ah Man, run quickly and get the car to pick me up. I'll hold them off!"

He said, pulling out his car keys and shoving them into Shen Leman's hand. Then, as if remembering something, he snatched a bag from one of his younger brothers and looked inside.

"Throw everything away and fight with them. Don't hold back, they're here to kill!"

The two younger brothers also realized it would be difficult to escape today. They immediately threw away their shopping bags and drew the short knives hidden on their bodies.

Wang Xuan pulled out a sandal from the bag, slipped his left hand into it, and clenched it. Then, while running, he took off his shirt and wrapped it around the sandal, tying it to his left arm. He swung it, finding it quite handy. The thick rubber sole of the sandal looked like it offered good defense.

Drawing the dagger from his waist, he signaled to his two younger brothers and slowly slowed down.

Just as the pursuers were about to catch up, Wang Xuan slammed on the brakes and turned. He blocked the incoming cleaver with his left arm, then fiercely slashed the opponent's neck with the dagger held in his right hand. The man fell straight to the ground, his cleaver flying far away.

Ever since his last kill, Wang Xuan seemed to have a sudden insight, gaining a deep understanding of how to kill someone quickly.

This was probably the benefit of practical experience!

Unable to stop himself, another pursuer stumbled past Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan retracted his right hand and ruthlessly stabbed the man in the back. The man collapsed without even being able to turn around, twitched, and became still.

Wang Xuan's quick kills of two men sent a shiver down the spines of the remaining six. The name Blood Dragon was not for nothing; he was truly ruthless, leaving no room for mercy.

Since the opponents were hesitant to attack, Wang Xuan was happy to stall for time. He didn't want to break the silence first.

After a moment of confrontation, the six men exchanged glances. They knew their purpose was to kill!

Seizing the initiative, Wang Xuan saw the men preparing to attack. Without time to shout to his two younger brothers, he lunged forward. Before the opponents could react, he performed a small jump, and the dagger held in his right hand plunged fiercely towards one of the men's foreheads.

The man suddenly leaned back, dodging the blow to his head but not his neck. A blade pierced his throat, and Wang Xuan twisted his wrist, slashing horizontally. His opponent's neck was severed.

He raised his hand to block a saber chopping from the right and his left hand to parry a dagger thrust from the left. Fortunately, the shoes he'd just bought were good quality. Wang Xuan leaped back unharmed, turned again, and ran.

Two of his underlings each kept one assassin busy, while three others chased Wang Xuan's tail.

With no other option, Wang Xuan weaved through the gaps between the parked cars, hoping to buy time for Shen Leman to drive over. At the same time, he hoped to split the three pursuers, giving him a chance to take them down one by one.

He'd only managed to eliminate the other three by surprise. Now, facing three people intent on killing him with just a dagger, he had no confidence in himself.

The three separated and attacked from both sides. Wang Xuan leaped onto the trunk of a nearby car. With a spin, he looked down at the pursuer behind him and kicked out.

The man didn't hesitate, roaring as he swung his saber. Startled, Wang Xuan quickly retracted his foot, but he was still cut. Fortunately, it only hit the sole of his shoe, and he'd retracted his foot in time, thus avoiding injury.

Losing his balance, Wang Xuan lunged forward. Damn it! A sinister grin spread across the assassin's face as he swung his blade again.

It's now or never!

His eyes instantly became bloodshot, a fierce glint flashing within them. He shielded his head with his left arm, twisted his body as best he could, and charged into the blade.

"Aargh!!!"
