Chapter 59: Ruthless Beating
"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! Today I’ll make sure to kill you!" The young man with curly hair, apparently annoyed by the little boy’s cries, said viciously, "I’ll lock you up with the dog today, let’s see if you keep crying!"
Lin Tian, watching this scene from the rooftop, was clenching his teeth so hard they almost cracked!
It’s not that he lacks compassion, nor is he cowardly!
The intent to rescue is never just about saving one person, but saving everyone.
That’s why he’s been holding back until now — to understand how many people were trapped here.
But this inflicted suffering on the little boy.
Yet this suffering won’t go in vain!
In a while, that curly-haired young man will learn the true meaning of pain.
Right then, another middle-aged man walked out of the house: "It’s midday, don’t let them cry or the neighbors might hear, and it’ll be a hassle if they call the police!"
"Got it!" The middle-aged man seemed to be the leader here, and the curly-haired young man obediently nodded and sped up his actions, carrying the little boy over to the cage housing the large wolfhound.
"Older brother, I’m sorry, please don’t lock me in, I promise to bring a lot of money tomorrow..." Watching the large wolfhound barking loudly, the little boy continued crying and pleading.
"Bring a lot of money? Survive today first, then talk about tomorrow!" The curly-haired young man was about to open the cage door holding the large wolfhound as he spoke.
"Damn it!" Lin Tian knew he couldn’t hide any longer, or the little boy would be viciously bitten to death by the fierce wolfhound.
With the decision made, Lin Tian swiftly jumped into the yard and shouted loudly, "Stop!"
"Who are you?" Startled by the sudden voice, the curly-haired young man froze for a moment, then instinctively asked.
His expression immediately changed as he roared, "How the hell did you get in here?"
Realizing how absurd his question was, the curly-haired young man quickly understood that since the person dared to come, they must be prepared, and he immediately shouted into the house, "Brothers, grab your weapons, someone invaded!"
Three people came rushing out from inside, including the presumed leader middle-aged man and two young men, all shirtless and covered in tattoos.
The middle-aged man, upon seeing Lin Tian standing in the yard, paused before slowly walking towards him: "Brother, did you come to the wrong place? I’m Ah Bao, and this is the Smiling Tiger’s turf!"
"What?" Lin Tian was shocked again upon hearing the name Smiling Tiger: "The Smiling Tiger? Is he Du Dahai?"
"Seems like the young brother knows quite a lot about the folks around here!" Ah Bao scrutinized Lin Tian, feeling he looked somewhat familiar.
"Ha ha!" Lin Tian sneered, it seems Du Dahai’s rotten through and through, truly willing to make any kind of money.
"I don’t care whose place this is, today I’m going to wipe out all you social scum!" Lin Tian’s dark eyes stared unwaveringly at the curly-haired young man holding the little boy.
The four of them changed expressions, the curly-haired young man glared at Lin Tian and shouted, "Saying that, you really don’t want to give face to Bao?"
Lin Tian coldly replied, "I never intended to give anyone face! I’m here to save lives!"
The four exchanged looks again, Wang Si spoke deeply: "Brother, if you mingle in the underworld, you may not know Ah Bao, but you should know Smiling Tiger, and understand the consequences of offending Smiling Tiger!"
"I don’t mingle in anything!"
"I just can’t stand it!"
"I’m also not afraid of offending him!"
Lin Tian moved forward step by step, his gaze as sharp as a blade fixed dead on the curly-haired young man before him, automatically ignoring Smiling Tiger.
"Damn it, you’re clearly here to stir trouble, Bao, get him!" Although the curly-haired young man wasn’t very old.
Young people tend to be impulsive, unable to tolerate Lin Tian’s arrogance, he threw the little boy to the ground and grabbed a wooden stick nearby, charging at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian crouched and ducked aside, lifting his right leg for a sweep, kicking the curly-haired young man’s knee.
With this kick, Lin Tian held nothing back, if you can be so cruel to a child, I can be even harsher to you!
"Ah!" The curly-haired young man’s leg bent bizarrely into a ninety-degree angle, his leg bone instantly broken by Lin Tian’s kick.
Such ruthless hand, it was Lin Tian’s only act of harshness in a fight so far, looking at the curly-haired young man fallen on the ground: "Aren’t you very forceful with the kids? Didn’t it make you feel good hitting him? Then you also personally experience this pain!"
Lin Tian lifted his right leg again, viciously stomping on the curly-haired young man’s face, in the yard, his anguished screams drowned out the wolfhound’s frantic barking...
"Get him, kill him!" Although Ah Bao initially didn’t want to escalate matters, seeing Lin Tian’s merciless attack made him hesitate no more.
The two young men beside Ah Bao quickly picked up weapons, one with an iron rod, and the other somehow found a machete.
The two advanced from left and right towards Lin Tian, encroaching so closely they almost enclosed him.
Seeing the proximity, the young man with the machete immediately charged, brandishing it towards Lin Tian’s head.
Lin Tian’s focus was mainly on the knife wielder, after all, a few hits with the iron rod would hurt, but wouldn’t be too serious; however, a machete was different, one hard chop would either kill or maim.
You wish to kill me, but I want to kill you!
With this thought, Lin Tian dodged a chop and punched the man straight in the face.
Such simple punch, the nose of the machete-wielding young man instantly collapsed, bleeding from mouth and nose, clutching his face as he rolled on the ground crying out painfully.
Ah Bao was shocked, he had seen fights before, but this level of brutality was a first, he asked in a low voice: "Who...who are you, what are you here for?"
"I’m here to kill!" Lin Tian glanced at the young man at his feet, was he not vicious just now while wielding the machete?
Slowly lifting his right leg, he stomped on the young man’s chest without warning.
Sound of bones breaking, this young man’s chest ribs were likely mostly crushed by Lin Tian’s stomp, making even breathing difficult.
Ah Bao and the others showed signs of fear, to be able to mix in the underworld to this extent they thought themselves vicious enough, but Lin Tian’s attacks were way more vicious!
Fear welled up, seeing Lin Tian advancing step by step, Ah Bao knew he was without retreat.
"Go, everyone attack together!" Ah Bao shouted, leading the charge towards Lin Tian.
The young man with the iron rod also swung his weapon and rushed in, this was their last shot.
Lin Tian stood still, and when Ah Bao first rushed to his front, he lifted his leg and kicked Ah Bao’s chest, sound of bones breaking followed.
Ah Bao immediately followed the machete wielder’s path, his chest ribs likely broken considerably, leaving him gasping for breath on the ground...
The young man with the iron rod had it worse, Lin Tian gave him a forceful punch, the young man’s face contorted in agony, moaning as he retched up instant noodle soup all over the place.
