Putting on the Show Himself

With Lin Yu, who plays Heavenly Artisan Gong, extremely indignant and ready to kill or torture him at will, even the usually wicked Li Nian couldn't help but lose some of her momentum.

Especially from Heavenly Artisan's remarks, she had already inferred the other party's predicament.

The "Marauders" who came from Zhengcheng seem to have suffered heavy casualties, almost to the point of annihilation?

This made Li Nian wonder to herself, while also marveling at the strength of "Zhu Ming".

"That 'veterinarian' sister said she had offended two organizations at the same time; it seems she wasn't joking."

"And... to be able to find my doorstep, she's definitely quite capable."

He killed so many people without having "Tier Advancement, and even pushed Tier 1 Heavenly Artisan to the Desperate Plight!

According to Heavenly Artisan, it wasn't just him—another Tier 1 member of the "Marauders" was also dead.

This is enough to demonstrate the "veterinarian's" skill and brutality.

Moreover, although Li Nian herself did not receive any substantial benefits, she could not say much since Heavenly Artisan was criticizing Li Nian with the attitude that "your local gang is really impolite".

She was in the wrong— Li Nian had already agreed to let "Zhu Ming" help her "solve" the matter.

The other party was indeed a reserve member of the "Freedom Alliance".

However, Li Nian underestimated Zhu Ming's ferocity—she had thought the veterinarian would be there to negotiate.

Who would have thought she would just kill and dress him up!

Therefore, Li Nian, who did not want to completely break ties with the "Marauders," could only laugh it off.

"Oh dear, as you know, members of our 'Freedom Alliance' organization do not interfere with each other's actions."

"Okay, I don't want the hammer anymore—let's compromise, and you just keep quiet about this."

Li Nian said with a grin, "No matter what, it doesn't sound good that so many of you were taken down by one person from our 'Freedom Alliance,' does it?"

"What do you mean, 'one person'? She colluded with your local Jiang City organization—and that 'Doctor' who came to Zhengcheng to harm me back then."

"Heavenly Artisan," Lin Yu interrupted Li Nian again, speaking angrily.

Li Nian was startled again, and her opinion of Zhu Ming was revised once more.

She cleared her throat lightly. "Well... believe it or not, she hasn't officially joined our 'Freedom Alliance' yet."

"How about this, I will negotiate compensation for your fallen brothers through the organization?"

Li Nian took another step back.

She then added a subtle threat, "I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but... I'm only being polite to you here because I don't want to make a big deal out of this."

After Li Nian finished speaking, Lin Yu's expression softened slightly.

"Okay, let's do it your way."

"In this matter... it's true that we were outmatched in skill!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the riverside Street, taking out his phone.

A moment later, a Business Car sped back down the road.

Almond rolled down the car window and said urgently.

"Get in the car quickly—if you hadn't messaged me any later, I would have been on the highway."

I didn't expect you to still be alive!

Without saying much, Heavenly Artisan got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, his body still soaking wet.

"I underestimated the danger in Jiang City," Lin Yu murmured. "They're all dead...that woman was like a monster."

After he finished speaking, Almond's expression didn't look too good either.

"I also encountered someone wearing a white coat... who claimed to be a reserve member of the 'Freedom Alliance'."

"I was talking about her too," Lin Yu said painfully. "She was truly the most cunning and treacherous opponent I've ever met—but thankfully I escaped."

"And, I just ran into Master Thief!"

Almond looked even more surprised. "You encountered Master Thief?"

Is this part of the "Freedom Alliance" design?

Lin Yu smiled wryly, "I'm afraid not, because the Master Thief let me go, and she doesn't seem to know anything about it... I didn't see any other members of the Freedom Alliance on the ship either."

"Instead, I encountered a local 'thief' from Jiang City and the 'Doctor' who attacked me earlier."

After saying that, Lin Yu closed his eyes.

"Find a place up ahead and drop me off."

He sighed and said.

Almond was utterly astonished. "You still want to stay in Jiang City? Are you crazy?!"

"I brought them here: Red Fuji, Xiao Bing, A Kang, Ming Zai," Lin Yu said with a guilty expression. "Red Fuji ... he and you are among the few people I can truly call friends."

"I wasn't that close to Xiao Bing, A Kang, and Ming Zai before, but... they died right in front of me, Almond, do you know—when Xiao Bing died, Ming Zai went crazy, wanting to Revenge her."

"That kid probably likes Xiao Bing, right?"

Lin Yu took a deep breath, then exhaled. "I thought I had become indifferent to death after participating in the 'Death game'... How ironic, I even joined the 'Marauders,' indiscriminately killing innocents for Revenge."

"But when they died in front of me, I couldn't be indifferent to it."

He said it with a self-deprecating smile.

Almond was silent for a moment, then gently patted Heavenly Artisan.

"It's not your fault. From the moment we joined the 'Death game,' we were all destined to just eke out a living."

"I know, but that's precisely why... the thought of them struggling to survive each and every Instance makes it even harder for me to let go."

Lin Yu's voice calmed down. "I just spoke with the Master Thief, and she said... she would provide us with compensation."

"It was probably through negotiations at the organizational level."

"But... I'm not willing to just give up like this. I want to stay in Jiang City."

Almond stepped on the brakes.

The car came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.

Almond trees don't bloom very quickly to begin with.

At this speed, even with sudden braking, this high-end Business Car will not lose balance too much.

"I don't object, our relationship isn't close enough for me to interfere with your decision—but what can you do staying in Jiang City?"

"Revenge?"

Almond asked.

"I originally joined the 'Marauders' out of Revenge," Lin Yu said, opening the car door. "Now that I have a new grudge—I feel like I'm even more motivated."

"I've memorized those three people."

"I will repay the hatred for burning down the house and killing my friend one day."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Almond in the car let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

"I will report what happened here to the Boss truthfully... To be honest, he shouldn't blame you."

"After all, members of the 'Freedom Alliance' have made their move..."

Then, the taillights of the Business Car disappeared into the night.

Lin Yu watched Almond disappear into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over..."

"Writing, directing, and starring in all of them, and playing multiple roles, is exciting, but it's also incredibly tiring!"
