chapter 5 angry!

"Hehe."
Facing 3000 Black Tiger Armies, Samuel showed no fear. He knew to capture the thief first, then the king. With a swift step, he darted into the crowd like a rocket, forging a path that led directly to Alex. In an instant, he had his hands around Alex's neck, subduing him effortlessly.
"You..."
Alex trembled, completely stunned. He too was an Earth-level warrior, yet he found himself subdued by Samuel without the slightest resistance.
Heeding Samuel's cold command, "Get your people out of the hotel, otherwise, you will die."
"Haha, the Black Tiger Armies will never back down!" Alex, one of Gangnam King's thirty commanders, how could he be threatened by Samuel's words?
"Are you sure?" Samuel's voice turned even colder, sending a chill from Alex's feet to his skull.
Despite this, Alex didn't believe that Samuel would truly dare to kill him. Bravely, he affirmed, "Sure."
Click!
A crisp sound rang out. Almost simultaneously with Alex's response, the leader of the Black Tiger Armies had his throat crushed and his body fell limp.
"Brother Alex!!!"
Mattew was so terrified that his eyes nearly popped from their sockets. The others from the Zhao family were equally aghast.
"Hiss--!"
Gasps echoed throughout the entire hotel lobby. Every affluent and influential person present was stricken with fear, hastily retreating.
Alex!
This was Alex!
A trusted aide of the Gangnam King, an authority in Jiangnan City. How could he end up like this? His throat was violently crushed, and life snuffed out without a struggle.
"The Black Tiger Commander!!!"
The 3000 Black Tiger Armies roared, their voices thundering through the lobby. They ground their teeth, poised to tear Samuel apart.
"Whoever dares to take a step forward, you’ll end up like Alex." Samuel's voice remained cold, his gaze even colder. He placed his foot on Alex's head, surveying the room.
Even in his final moments, Alex's expression was one of terror, shock, regret, and disbelief. He never anticipated that Samuel would be so audacious as to crush his neck.
None of the 3000 Black Tiger Armies dared to move. Samuel's words had petrified them in place.
"Get lost!"
Samuel's shout was powerful, unleashing a surge of terrifying inner energy. The front row of the Black Tiger Armies crumpled to the ground, blood streaming from their ears and noses. Samuel's voice alone had shattered their morale! They scattered like deserters, vanishing from sight.
"Brother Samuel..."
Carrie's mouth hung agape, wide enough to hold an egg, her eyes brimming with adoration.
All was silent!
Samuel fixed Mattew with a grim reaper's gaze and inquired, "Whose orders did you follow to hunt me down? 那一天来我家杀人的人又来自哪里?"
"I...I...I don't know." Mattew was utterly terrified, shaking his head incessantly.
"Then you may go die."
Samuel pronounced a sentence. Even with his power restrained as it was, Mattew still couldn't divulge the identity of those who ordered his pursuit. Keeping someone who knew nothing was pointless.
Puff!
With a flick of his finger, the bullet fired
Samuel snapped his fingers, and Mattew's bullet ricocheted, piercing through Mattew's head, entering through the center of his eyebrow, and exiting through the back of his skull.
"Dad!!!"
Austin's anguished cry filled the air as he collapsed onto Mattew's lifeless form, trembling uncontrollably.
"You killed my dad, I will fight with you." Austin was a maelstrom of anger and fear, hurtling towards Samuel.
Boom!
With lethal precision, Samuel's kick struck Austin's heart, sealing his fate.
The entire Zhao family cowered on the ground in terror, their eyes fixed on Samuel in sheer horror, anticipating the arrival of this "God of Death" who threatened their lives.
The prominent figures and wealthy individuals from Jiangnan City took hurried steps back, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.
"In one hour, I will personally visit the Zhao residence and implore your patriarch to reflect on who ordered the Zhao family to pursue me! If you fail to recollect, the entire Zhao clan will share your fate," Samuel's voice resonated.
"Get lost!"
His words reverberated like a tidal wave.
Buzz!
Every member of the Zhao family present felt a sudden reprieve and fled from the hotel in a frenzy.
Capitalizing on the chaos, other affluent individuals made their escape. Only Samuel and Carrie's family remained in the lobby.
"Brother Samuel," Carrie broke free from her mother's grasp, rushed towards Samuel, and threw herself into his arms.
Samuel embraced her, gently patting Carrie's back, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, do you still want to call off our engagement?"
"I won't, I won't," Carrie sobbed.
"Samuel, my child, what have you endured all these years?" Jayden and Faye looked stunned.
They had never imagined that Samuel, missing for five years and presumed dead, would return.
"It's a long story. I was hunted down back then..." Samuel kept his narrative concise, offering a rough account of his martial arts training in Kunlun Mountain.
"So, you're formidable now?" Jayden's brows shot up.
The Long Country was established through power, and while common folk adhered to regulations, for warriors, those rules were no more than scraps of paper.
If Samuel possessed the strength of a Top-level Warrior, dispatching Mattew and Austin would pose no difficulty.
"Samuel, what's your current level of strength? Are you a Top-level Warrior?" Jayden couldn't help but inquire.
"Uncle Zhou, I can't pinpoint my exact level of strength. I'm still unfamiliar with the classifications of warriors," Samuel shook his head.
He wasn't jesting; he had dedicated himself to rigorous training over the past five years. Only one word echoed in his heart—vengeance. His comprehension of the tiers of warriors remained limited.
"Alex is a high-tier Earth-level warrior. If you can overpower him with a single strike, you're at least in the initial stage of the top tier, aren't you?" Jayden speculated.
As for the perfected stage of the top tier, he didn't dare to entertain the thought! After all, the disciple beside the King of Gangnam was only at the perfected stage of the top tier. Considering Samuel's age, it was implausible for him to possess such strength at 23.
Puff!
Suddenly, Faye's complexion turned ashen, she expelled a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
"Mom!" Carrie rushed to her aid.
"Her acupoint has darkened, and her pulse is weak. Auntie's been poisoned?" Samuel seized Faye's wrist, his expression darkening.
"It was Austin who poisoned me. He coerced me into marriage. When I resisted, he had someone administer poison to my mother. He claimed to be the sole possessor of the antidote. Now that Austin's gone, mother..." Carrie's face drained of color, a surge of energy and blood assaulting her heart. She coughed up blood and lost consciousness on the spot.
"Carrie." Samuel stepped forward and cradled her in his arms.
