Chapter 1053 - 1068: Formidable Opponent
The next second, Brother Zhong stared wide-eyed at the phone, threw the cigarette in his hand heavily on the ground, and stood up abruptly, raising his voice to the fullest, "What did you say? Are you sure it's Man Luo?""Yes, Brother Zhong, I'm sure, and she's with the guy who hit you. They just came downstairs now." San Ji confirmed again.
Ah Zhong was overjoyed, truly like finding a new way after all seemed lost. So he laughed heartily, "San Ji, you've done well. This time you've made a great contribution. Once this is over, I promise to go back and reward you properly, at least a hundred thousand bucks!"
Damn, it really is a hundred thousand bucks, just as I guessed, San Ji's heart blossomed with joy, and he chuckled, "Thank you, Brother Zhong!"
"Where did they go now?" Brother Zhong needed a confirmed address to notify Bai Wuchang to take down Man Luo, along with Lin Mu. Just a few minutes ago, he was at a dead end, almost seeing his doom. But a few minutes later, everything seemed to have come together; as long as Master Bai gets involved, not even ten years of Man Luo could save Lin Mu, their biggest grudge to be avenged soon. Brother Zhong couldn't be happier thinking about it.
"Brother Zhong, when they came out, that guy spotted me, but he's very cocky. He said he's going to have a meal in the Western restaurant downstairs, and also told you if you want revenge, to find him there." San Ji repeated Lin Mu's words.
"Damn, that kid is really too arrogant!" Brother Zhong couldn't help but curse after hearing this, then followed with a cold laugh, "Alright, it looks like this kid is destined to die tonight, because when he finds out we've called Master Bai over, it'll be too late to regret. Tonight is destined to be his final day!"
"Brother Zhong, what should I do now?"
"Just keep an eye on them outside the restaurant. I'll go get Master Bai and head to the restaurant to join you. Remember, you must keep a close watch on them, don't let them slip away at this chance," Ah Zhong instructed.
San Ji nodded and replied, "Rest assured, Brother Zhong, I'll keep a close watch, and report to you immediately if anything happens."
Ending the call, Ah Zhong immediately returned to the community, headed to Master Bai's residence, and barged in excitedly, "Master Bai, I have news now."
"Oh, have you found Man Luo's hideout?" Bai Wuchang asked, holding a cigarette.
"Yes, Master Bai, we found it, just at a three-star hotel nearby," Ah Zhong nodded.
"Not bad, you didn't let me down," Bai Wuchang said slowly, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"Master Bai, it's not just Man Luo, we also found the guy who hit me. He's with Man Luo now, perfect for us to get revenge this time," Ah Zhong said excitedly.
"Oh, that kid is with Man Luo?" Bai Wuchang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Judging by Ah Zhong's injuries today, Bai Wuchang deduced that the person must have some extraordinary skills, hence Ah Zhong's words piqued his interest. As a top-level assassin from the Ghost Realm, Bai Wuchang seldom met anyone on par with him, and encountering someone like Lin Mu sparked his desire to compete a bit.
"Yes, they're having a meal at the restaurant downstairs!" Ah Zhong nodded.
"Do you know the boy's name?" Bai Wuchang asked.
Ah Zhong shook his head, "I don't know yet."
Bai Wuchang extinguished the cigarette butt, took out a photo from his pocket, and said to Ah Zhong, "Take a look, is it this person?"
Ah Zhong peered at the photo, his face filled with hatred, then nodded heavily, "Master Bai, yes, it's that kid, I'd recognize him even if he turned into ashes."
Bai Wuchang turned the photo towards himself, his expression becoming very serious. But amid Ah Zhong's anger, he suddenly noticed a problem and quickly asked, "Right, Master Bai, how do you have this kid's photo? Do you know him?"
Staring at the photo in his hand, Bai Wuchang lit another cigarette and said slowly, "This person is our second target, Lin Mu."
"Lin Mu? That kid is Lin Mu?" Ah Zhong was utterly shocked. He finally knew why his arm was easily twisted broken; if that was Lin Mu, it was no wonder because Lin Mu was said to be the strongest in Wancheng, even across Huaxia, very few could match Lin Mu's skills.
"Correct." Bai Wuchang suddenly smiled sinisterly, "I didn't expect them to come together so quickly. This will make things more convenient, let's eliminate them both tonight."
As Bai Wuchang spoke, he took out a lighter and set Lin Mu's photo on fire. Quickly, the photo turned to ashes, while Bai Wuchang's face wore a sinister smile, in the dim light, looking just like the Life-Stealing Ghost from Yama Hall, Bai Wuchang.
Hearing Bai Wuchang's words, Ah Zhong's heart was naturally filled with joy. Since Bai Wuchang was willing to strike, Lin Mu surely had no chance of survival.
Bai Wuchang exhaled a puff of smoke, then stood up and said, "Get ready, it's time for us to move."
"Yes, Master Bai." Ah Zhong nodded, having long impatiently waited to deal with Lin Mu, although Lin Mu was formidable, he trusted more in Bai Wuchang's strength. As the top fighter of the Ghost Sect, Bai Wuchang had enough ability to take down Lin Mu.
Under Bai Wuchang's lead, a dozen people grandly arrived downstairs at a hotel in the city center, while several dozens of Lanzai sat in three cars heading towards the Western restaurant where San Ji was, marking just a five or six minutes' journey away, hence Bai Wuchang and others swiftly reached the restaurant's entrance.
Keeping watch from the door, San Ji saw Bai Wuchang and Ah Zhong approaching, quickly approached with a smile, and greeted, "Master Bai, Brother Zhong."
The gaunt Bai Wuchang held a cigarette as usual, appearing even more eerily chilling in the night.
"Are they still inside?" Bai Wuchang asked coldly.
San Ji nodded, "Hmm, they're still inside eating."
"Go in and notify them, say someone is here to settle a score," Bai Wuchang exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"Yes, Master Bai." San Ji nodded and entered the Western restaurant.
At this moment, Lin Mu and Man Luo were chatting while eating steak. San Ji walked in with a cocky expression, but with Lin Mu's sharp Seventh Sense, in reality, the moment San Ji stepped in, Lin Mu had already noticed this arrogant guy. Given this guy's arrogance, he surely had some backing.
