"I have no interest in whatever purpose you have. Such petty fights are really boring to me," Tyler Luo seemed indifferent to the other's strange expression, speaking as if to himself, but also seemingly addressing Kyle Zhang.
But at this moment, with a gun pointed at him, how could Kyle dare to utter a word of refusal?
"So, you have two choices now. The first is to obey me. The second is..." Tyler's face, previously lazy, suddenly flashed with ferocity.
In that instant, Kyle's heart raced. This feeling, illogical as it was, suddenly made him tremble, even causing goosebumps to appear, as if enveloped by a chilling aura.
Who exactly is this young man?
The feeling of facing death, it actually came from him. A single sentence made him shiver?
Had he not been in the situation himself, Kyle would never have believed such an absurd thing.
"Tell me, which one do you choose?" Tyler's approach was undoubtedly direct. At such a time, trying to follow Avery Xu's legal procedures would clearly be a waste of time. Hence, often the most direct solution is still fists.
Might makes right.
Faced with such a sudden choice, even someone like Kyle hesitated. But Tyler clearly didn't want to waste time on this, sighing as he saw Kyle's hesitation, his raised pistol ready to pull the trigger!
This madman!
Does he not know about negotiation?
Initially thinking about how to secure the best interests while ensuring his own safety, Kyle didn't expect this madman to not even give him a chance to speak.
"Don't! Don't shoot!"
Kyle quickly spoke out to stop him, sharply aware, especially keeping an eye on the gun in Tyler's hand.
At this moment, Kyle was really in a dilemma. He had not expected that due to Brian Qin's hundred thousand, he would provoke such a madman - a complete madman, ready to shoot at a moment's notice. Does he think this is a toy gun?
Though unsure of this man's background, Kyle wisely knew that if he couldn't say something satisfying, his fate would be miserable.
"I'll listen to you!" Kyle blurted out.
Tyler then immediately smiled,"Isn't this better? Why can't we sit down and talk nicely?" As he spoke, he actually put down the gun, even placing it not far in front of Kyle, within easy reach.
"So, let's talk about the two million compensation," Tyler said, seemingly a bit embarrassed, rubbing his palms together.
What else could Kyle say? He didn't dare to demand it.
But Tyler's smile grew thicker, "Brother Kyle, I think you're mistaken." He even called him 'Brother Kyle,' which made Kyle feel even more uneasy.
"I'm mistaken?"
"Mm-hmm." Tyler nodded, "That two million is what you owe me."
"What?" Even with Kyle's composure, he was taken aback by Tyler's words.
"You heard right, you owe me two million." Tyler was serious, "Just now, you pointing that gun at me scared me so much I almost didn't recognize my own mother. Shouldn't you compensate for the mental distress?"
"Why don't you just rob me!" Kyle was infuriated.
But Tyler's face suddenly turned cold, "Do you think what I'm doing now is any different from robbing?"
In other words, I am robbing you, so what?
Kyle, never having been so humiliated, was furious. You had a gun, and I was somewhat worried, but now that the gun is within my reach, you still dare to be arrogant?
But, just as Kyle was about to reach for the gun, an inner voice stopped him, and from Tyler's eyes, he felt a killing intent enveloping him again.
"Will you pay, or not?" Tyler's words were succinct.
Two million, will you pay or not?
If those who knew Kyle knew that this usually domineering man was being threatened like this, they would probably laugh their teeth off.
But this guy in front of him was really strange, acting oddly but Kyle always felt like he was being watched by a hungry wolf in the darkness. That feeling was just too intense.
In fact, this was true for him and his subordinates outside. Over the years, too many had died at Tyler's hands, and he himself was now somewhat unable to control that killing aura. But generally, as soon as someone approached Tyler and he harbored killing intent, that person would feel like falling into an ice cave.
"I'll pay!"
Kyle finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Oh? Really?" Tyler looked at him, half-smiling, not continuing on this topic, but asking,"What did Brian Qin offer you?"
"A hundred thousand, he said that after the job was done, he would help me connect with a gang in Fenghuang City, allowing me to successfully infiltrate Fenghuang City's underground forces."
"Oh?"
Tyler suddenly became interested, originally thinking that Kyle could only get money from Brian, but now it seemed not so simple.
Tyler fell silent, pondering something. Kyle didn't dare to move, even with the gun in front of him, he didn't have the courage to grab it. This was somewhat unbelievable, but it was happening.
About ten minutes later, Tyler looked up and grinned,"You want to enter Fenghuang City's underground forces?"
"Who wouldn't want to, it's a huge opportunity!"
"Frankly speaking, with your strength, I could easily kill you several times over. And you dare to enter Fenghuang City's underworld?" Tyler wasn't intentionally belittling, but he was stating the truth.
From his appearance in front of Kyle, he was confident he could kill Kyle within five seconds!
He had the strength, so though the words were arrogant, Tyler had the right to say them.
Kyle, biting his teeth, humiliated, had to admit it was true. Why couldn't he even muster the courage to grab a gun in front of this young man?
"Okay, I'll give you another choice." Tyler stood up, "Find me in Fenghuang City in a week, if you want to enter the underworld, I can help you. The condition is simple, obey me."
As he spoke, a card slipped out of his pocket and flew directly towards Kyle.
Kyle caught it, his face changing slightly. It was just an ordinary business card, but the force with which it was thrown made his hand ache a bit.
"As for the matters here, you know what to do. I've given you the opportunity, you only have one chance. Choose correctly, or die." Tyler left towards the stairs after saying this.
Kyle struggled even to swallow, but still couldn't help but ask,"What if I had grabbed the gun just now?"
"Trust me, if you had really dared to move, I would have killed you before you touched the gun, don't doubt my words."
Tyler had barely finished speaking before he left the villa.
Leaving Kyle with a conflicted expression, his face changing, finally resolved. Though he lost face this time, wasn't it also an opportunity?
This guy was too strong, so strong that he didn't even qualify to grab a gun in front of him. What kind of strength was that?
So, Kyle chose to believe Tyler, this man, either his acting was so good he even deceived himself, or he was really as unfathomable as he claimed.
Taking a long breath, Kyle was about to stand up but saw Tyler, who had already left, suddenly reappear in front of him.
"Ah!" Kyle was genuinely startled.
Tyler rolled his eyes,"Don't you have any evidence of Brian Qin's crimes here? After all, you've had dealings with him, you should have kept some leverage, right?"
"Yes, I have records of his bribes to other officials in Nanan City. It took me a lot of effort to get them. Dealing with a sly fox like Brian Qin, I had to be cautious."
Kyle, with a bitter smile, now thought, if Brian could only be considered a sly fox, then what was this young man in front of him?
So, Kyle naturally fulfilled Tyler's requests, even handing over the evidence he had gathered at great expense. Only after Tyler truly left did Kyle breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, Brian was done for.
Kyle suddenly felt a mix of relief and reflection.
This young man, he could say he hardly knew him. But why did he suddenly feel this way?
"Boss, that man just now..." As soon as Tyler left, the henchmen came in trembling.
But Kyle, still pondering, suddenly cursed: "Idiots! You almost got me killed this time! From now on, we're absolutely not getting involved with Brian Qin, and if I find out anyone is causing trouble for Baihua Technology, I'll strangle them myself!"
