Trap

Chapter 279: Trap

Qin Ran's expression darkened.

It was not just the thinly veiled provocation in the man's words, but also the hostile stares coming from all around him.

The murderous intent in those stares was far more chilling than the winter sea breeze.

A trap?

Looking at the clownlike figure before him, the thought flashed through Qin Ran's mind.

Then the man's increasingly provocative words confirmed his suspicions.

"Before Nikelei disappeared, she was acknowledged as the most powerful Spirit Channeling on the West Coast!"

"And I, Trelask, will surely become the most powerful Spirit Channeling on the West Coast after Nikelei!"

"So it's only natural that you should become my assistant!"

Words without any logic, intended purely to provoke, poured endlessly from Trelask's mouth. Qin Ran appeared to be looking straight at him.

In reality, he was already studying the police officers behind the man, the very ones Trelask had just reprimanded.

The hostile stares came from them.

"The Mystery Side?"

When he spotted the outlines of weapons hidden beneath their uniforms, Qin Ran understood.

He did not know what gave them the confidence to ambush him openly the very next day, but he knew it was time to shut the man before him up.

Keep putting up with him?

That was not Qin Ran's style.

Besides, since they had sent this irritating man out and come at him so aggressively, they certainly would not let the matter drop.

And so, the next moment, Qin Ran lashed out with a kick.

Bang!

A kick carrying Qin Ran's full strength slammed toward the man's chest. Surprise first appeared on his pockmarked face, followed by wild delight.

But that delight lasted less than an instant. The moment Qin Ran's boot struck him, it turned into sheer terror.

Crack! Crack!
