Chapter 309: What Must Come Will Come
Arriving at the Bai Family’s entrance, Bai Shishi was the first to speak: "When you see my father later, don’t say anything. The less you say, the less mistakes you’ll make. I’ll handle the rest. You just need to be a statue."
"No problem!" Lin Tian, already feeling awkward, certainly wouldn’t refuse. In fact, he wished for that and nodded his agreement immediately.
"Miss, you’re back."
Bai Shishi had just led Lin Tian into the house when a butler immediately came to greet them. However, upon seeing Lin Tian behind Bai Shishi, a murderous intent erupted in his eyes instantly!
Strong and concentrated, evidently everyone in the Bai Family was already aware of Bai Jiaming’s death, except for Bai Shishi who was still kept in the dark!
"Hmm."
Bai Shishi gave a simple response. The butler’s eyes, filled with murderous intent, naturally could not escape Lin Tian’s perception, but Bai Shishi did not pay much attention, so all she asked was: "Where’s my father?"
"The master is upstairs, miss. Please come with me. The master instructed that once you return, you should see him first." The butler spoke as he motioned for Bai Shishi to follow him.
"Then you sit for a while. I’m going to see my father." Bai Shishi nodded upon hearing this, informed Lin Tian, and followed the butler away, leaving Lin Tian without even a chance to stop her.
"Hmph, are they planning to send Bai Shishi away and then get rid of me?" Lin Tian wasn’t an idiot. How could he not see what Bai Tianlong was up to!
In an instant, he activated his X-ray Vision, and everything turned into nothingness. Several burly men came into Lin Tian’s view, and leading them was none other than Long, whom Lin Tian easily ’defeated’ on his first visit!
Their position was precisely in the dead corner of the living room, behind a huge screen, obviously to avoid Bai Shishi, not wanting her to know what was about to happen.
Meanwhile, at a distant location from the villa, some men in black stood ready, unclear about their intentions.
Of course, it would be better to deal with the people before him first.
Their concealment also suited Lin Tian’s intentions!
Whatever the issue, it should be resolved privately without needing to be brought to the surface!
If the Bai Family wanted to deal with him, they were welcome to try, but it was crucial that Bai Shishi remained unaware, which was Lin Tian’s thought!
"There’s a path to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there’s no door to hell, yet you charge right in!" Just as Lin Tian activated his X-ray Vision, Long also stepped out of the shadows with his men.
"I don’t know whether to call you daring or simply a naive calf unafraid of a tiger!" Long spoke while he and two brawny men surrounded Lin Tian in the middle!
"Three-person formation?" Lin Tian squinted as he recognized the formation from the information in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record at first glance. As expected of a family heritage, their moves were extraordinary!
Of course, the three-person formation wasn’t anything rare.
"You have some insight!" Long’s gaze sharpened, surprised that Lin Tian knew about this Array, but it was quickly replaced by intense murderous intent!
"I’m very curious!" Lin Tian looked at Long, openly displaying the doubt in his eyes: "Aren’t you afraid that Shishi would be upset if she finds out what you’re doing?"
"She won’t!" Long sneered; when they planned this, they already accounted for it, so such a situation wouldn’t occur. Once they killed Lin Tian, they’d tell Bai Shishi that Lin Tian ran away because he couldn’t withstand the Bai Family’s pressure!
All of this was already arranged to keep Lin Tian at the Bai Family permanently!
"Do you think Jiaming’s death would be so easily forgiven? Too naive!"
"Today you must die. As for the young miss, you’ll be regarded as a deserter who knelt after being lightly handled by the Bai Family, took their money, and disappeared without a trace!"
"It seems you’ve prepared well in advance!" Lin Tian nodded, which indeed fit the operational style of such big families, leaving no flaws: "But are you so sure I’ll be left here by you?"
"To not disappoint Shishi, I think I can’t die just yet. At least not while Shishi still needs me!"
"Unfortunately, heaven does not align with one’s wishes; things aren’t at your command!" Long’s expression was cold, with unrelenting murderous intent in his eyes: "Today you will surely die, and no one can save you!"
Originally, Long intended to duel Lin Tian alone, to avenge the previous sneak attack!
But Bai Tianlong’s attitude was extremely firm, insisting that Long must use the three-person formation with Long and Long!
Though unwilling, the clan leader’s orders were hard to defy, and ultimately, they had no choice but to agree!
"What gives?" Lin Tian was confrontational, without backing down: "Just because of this three-person formation?"
Lin Tian shrugged, looking relaxed, not at all showing the demeanor of facing a great enemy, appearing as at ease as possible,
"Less talking, your life is what I want!" Long disinclined to argue further with Lin Tian and attacked directly!
In an instant, the seemingly towering Long charged like a small mountain, nearly two meters tall, with well-developed muscles, leaving no doubt about the force behind a punch landing on one’s body!
The two brawny men beside Long also didn’t idle, attacking together. Though not as massive as Long, they were exceptionally strong, attacking simultaneously and using the power-boosting three-person formation, escalating their strength several times over in an instant!
Such power, even Lin Tian dared not underestimate easily and could only choose to temporarily avoid their edge!
Evading Long’s punch like an eel, Lin Tian chose the soft target!
Compared to Long’s terrifying strength, the other two were lighter. With Lin Tian’s strength, matching those two aided by the three-person formation was not difficult!
Concentrating with all his might, channeling his strength into his arms, Lin Tian grabbed each of the brawny men’s fists with his hands, then retreated three steps, making them instinctively follow his lead!
The three-person formation, as the name suggests, is a triangular enclosure!
With the force of three, creating an even more terrifying power, once it invades, no matter how fierce the dragon crossing the river, it has to submit!
Heavenly talent, earthly talent, human talent!
With the combined power of the three, they can advance to attack, retreat to defend, solid as a fortress, unbreakable, and invincible!
There are many ways to break such an Array, but Lin Tian, with even greater power, couldn’t be bothered with the hassle, choosing instead to cleverly break great strength with skill, competing with sheer strength!
Long’s power wasn’t weak to begin with, and the additional boost from the three-person formation made it more terrifying. Lin Tian naturally wouldn’t foolishly target him!
Thus, the remaining two became Lin Tian’s choice!
