Shock

Andrin, with a bounty of five million Beli, had been introduced earlier. Relying on the Evil Wolf Pirates' power, he ran rampant through Town East Village and Town West Village, acting utterly arrogant and domineering.

And it was not only because of his pirate crew's power. Andrin's personal combat ability was extraordinary as well. The Kubikiribōchō he carried alone weighed no less than 150 jin. It could be said that among these three islands, aside from the "Guardian" Miller and his older brother Anderson, he had no opponent.

Not only that, Andrin was cold-blooded and brutal, with a terrible temper. As long as any villager dared to defy him even slightly, they would be cruelly executed.

In Town East Village and Town West Village, he had personally killed no fewer than ten people. Because of this, the villagers were furious but dared not speak out, and they feared him deeply.

The villagers had pointed at the newly arrived Leiyin and mocked him contemptuously, but when Andrin entered, they did not even dare breathe too loudly. Those who had been chatting and laughing immediately fell silent.

Andrin entered with a boisterous laugh. "Yahaha, everyone, pay attention. It's time to pay this month's protection fee again, isn't it? Get your money ready. Ten thousand Beli per person—not a single coin less!"

After hearing him, the restaurant remained as silent as a grave. Everyone lowered their heads and continued eating.

Seeing that the villagers had already submitted to him, Andrin nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, Henchman A beside Andrin said to him, "Second Brother, Verdan and that old bastard Farmer are here too."

Henchman B added, "That little Verdan is getting hotter and hotter. She's only fifteen now. If she grows into her twenties, who knows how seductive she'll become?" As he spoke, drool actually trickled from his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Andrin also glanced at Verdan with a lecherous look. Then he said to Henchman B, "Big Brother went off to war, didn't he? When he comes back, who knows how many pretty girls he'll bring back after looting them. So there's no need to care about one or two."

Henchman B laughed when he heard this. "Haha, Second Brother is right."

If Verdan had not been the village chief's daughter, she would have been taken away by them long ago if she had been an ordinary villager.

Anderson, the captain of the Evil Wolf Pirates, had wanted to abduct Verdan and make her his woman for a long time. However, Farmer was the village chief and enjoyed tremendous prestige in both villages. For the sake of the bigger picture and to collect protection fees more effectively, Anderson had never made a move against Verdan.

As the three of them passed by Verdan, Henchman B even whistled at her.

Then Andrin walked up to the bar and shouted at the owner, "Hey! Bring out all your best wine and dishes for me!"

The owner was terrified. He nodded obsequiously. "Yes, yes."

Andrin's arrival did not concern Leiyin in the slightest. He continued wolfing down his food. The plate of egg fried rice in front of him was already empty.

"Boss, bring me another serving!"

Leiyin raised his plate and shouted at the owner, once again drawing everyone's attention.

At that moment, Andrin was right beside him!

Compared to the deathly silence of everyone else, Leiyin's behavior seemed completely out of place.

Andrin's arrival was like a bear emerging from the forest. Everyone acted with extreme caution, afraid that they might offend this terrifying tyrant somehow.

How long is this guy going to keep acting like he has a death wish? everyone thought in unison.

Sure enough, just as expected, Andrin grew furious when he heard Leiyin. "Where the hell did you come from, you little punk? How dare you shout around in my territory?"

For years, everyone who had dared to defy him had met a miserable death. The villagers even trembled at the mention of his name, which had created his extremely arrogant personality. He found it unpleasant even when villagers spoke loudly in front of him.

"You're the one shouting, aren't you? This restaurant isn't your home. You're the one who should shut up!" Leiyin said coldly without even looking at him.

Huh?!

What the hell? Where did this nobody come from? Is he tired of living?

In everyone's eyes, Leiyin had already stepped halfway through the gates of hell. They stared at him in shock.

But what shocked them even more was still to come.

Henchman A beside him panicked. "Hey! You damn brat, do you know who you're talking to?"

Andrin, however, revealed a savage grin. He drew the Kubikiribōchō from his waist and mercilessly swung it down at Leiyin's head.

In an instant, a deep bloody gash appeared on someone's neck, and blood sprayed everywhere!

The next moment, many of the diners in the restaurant screamed in terror.

However, the neck that was bleeding did not belong to Leiyin.

One second before Andrin raised his sword, a ripple of white energy flashed through the air.

White Blade!

This was the technique Leiyin had created by imitating Konoha's White Fang. He gathered chakra into the index and middle fingers of his right hand and released a razor-sharp strike!

After his previous practice of treading water on the uninhabited island, Leiyin had gained a certain degree of control over his chakra. This knockoff version of White Fang was naturally far more powerful than before. Leiyin had given it a name: "White Blade."

The process sounded lengthy, but it happened in only an instant.

With a flash of white light, it directly sliced through Andrin's throat. Blood immediately spurted out, and his bear-like body crashed heavily onto the restaurant floor. After twitching a few times, he stopped moving entirely.

From beginning to end, Leiyin had not even glanced at Andrin.

When the two henchmen saw the vice-captain dispatched so cleanly, they fled in panic.

The entire restaurant was shocked. Everyone's jaws dropped to the floor!

"T-This is..."

"What did that brat just do?"

"Could this guy really not be an ordinary brat?"

Some people's opinions of Leiyin had changed drastically. Verdan, in particular, stared at him with astonishment.

However, many others harshly condemned Leiyin's actions.

"That brat actually killed Andrin."

"We're in deep trouble now!"

"If [Evil Wolf] Anderson comes back, he definitely won't let us off!"

"What are we going to do?"

Everyone talked over one another, discussing the matter noisily. Some of the more timid people prepared to flee and leave the village.

Yet some people greatly approved of Leiyin's actions.

The villagers had wanted to kill Andrin long ago. They simply had not possessed the strength to do so.

Farmer, the village chief of Town East Village, was one of those who approved of Leiyin.

Farmer slowly walked up to Leiyin and said, "I can see that Your skills are extraordinary. Could you help this old man with a favor?"

At that moment, Leiyin was eating his second plate of egg fried rice as if nothing had happened. With his mouth full, he mumbled, "What is it?"

"I ask you to help kill Anderson and save the people in our village."
