Chapter 413: Enemies on a Narrow Road!
A lone figure walked slowly down the road, but each stride he took was as precise as if measured with a ruler.
This person was Lin Mu.
After departing from Jiangbei, Lin Mu headed to Jiangling alone. He didn’t bring anyone with him.
Although eliminating the Fang Family was an urgent matter, it would barely take him any time at all. Besides that, he also had to challenge the Fire Cloud Sect.
That’s right—he was going to fight an entire sect by himself!
At the moment, neither the Fang Family nor the Fire Cloud Sect knew his true identity. Back in River City, he had already locked down all information. Outsiders could only learn what he allowed them to know.
He was certain that when the Fang Family and the Fire Cloud Sect learned the truth, they would be in for a huge shock.
And this was precisely the gift Lin Mu had prepared for them.
He was sure they would appreciate it.
A faint smile touched Lin Mu’s lips at the thought.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just then, a red supercar came speeding toward him. Its tires screeched against the pavement, leaving behind the acrid smell of burning rubber.
Hmm? The car seems to be out of control.
Lin Mu’s brow furrowed slightly, but he decided not to get involved. He had no intention of meddling in other people’s business. But while he didn’t want to attract trouble, it seemed trouble was determined to find him.
Lin Mu watched as the sports car sped toward him from a distance, showing no sign of stopping.
It even seemed to speed up deliberately.
Behind the wheel sat a young man with a mischievous glint in his eyes and a look of pure scorn on his face.
Is he... deliberately trying to hit me?
A chill flashed in Lin Mu’s eyes.
"WOOOO!"
In the passenger seat, a girl with a crazed look on her face cheered wildly.
Clearly, they were trying to scare Lin Mu for their own amusement. In an instant, Lin Mu understood their intentions, and his lips curled into an icy arc.
And so, Lin Mu stood his ground, motionless.
The two in the car were taken aback. Has this kid been scared stiff?
"Get out of the way!" the girl shouted, suddenly alarmed. She waved her hands frantically, urging Lin Mu to dodge, her face a mask of terror.
If he got hit at this speed, he would surely die!
The car was already going two hundred kilometers an hour!
"Shaobin, stop the car!" the girl screamed, grabbing the young man’s arm.
"If he’s asking to die, then let him die!" A savage look appeared on Shaobin’s face.
"But you’ll kill him!" The girl’s face was pale, her eyes wide with horror.
"Kill him?" Shaobin sneered. "Hmph, with my Fang Family’s status in Jiangling, so what if I kill someone?"
As the words left his mouth, Shaobin didn’t slow down. Instead, he slammed his foot on the accelerator.
VROOOM!
The distinctive roar of the engine sounded as the supercar shot forward, aimed directly at Lin Mu.
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
Fifty meters!
Ten meters!
"Go to hell, kid!" Shaobin’s eyes were bloodshot. The girl’s continued screams were useless.
BANG!
Just as the sports car was about to collide with him, Lin Mu suddenly raised a hand and punched out.
Seeing this, both Shaobin and the girl were stunned.
Does this idiot really think he can stop my car with his fist? Shaobin sneered coldly. "What a moron."
CRUNCH!
A deafening noise erupted. The two in the car felt a terrifying force slam into them, and the entire vehicle shuddered violently.
The girl shrieked once and fainted from shock.
The young man, meanwhile, let out a bloodcurdling scream as he was flung from the vehicle.
It turned out he hadn’t even been wearing his seatbelt.
THUD!
Shaobin slammed into the pavement. The impact broke several of his bones, twisting his leg at an unnatural angle.
"Ah, my leg!" Shaobin lay on the ground, screaming frantically. "Quick, save me! Save me!"
Lin Mu slowly walked over and stood beside him, looking down with a cold, indifferent expression.
The man reeked of alcohol, clearly having had a lot to drink. Upon seeing Lin Mu, he had decided to have some fun by scaring him.
"Save me! Quick, call 911!" Seeing Lin Mu standing so close, Shaobin sobered up considerably and began to beg.
"Save you?" Lin Mu chuckled coldly. "But you were just trying to kill me."
"No, no! I was just trying to scare you!" Shaobin was frantic. He was severely injured and just wanted Lin Mu to call for an ambulance. "I can give you money, lots and lots of money! My family is rich!"
"Sorry, I’m not interested in money," Lin Mu said, shaking his head. An ordinary person would have been killed instantly. The man had tried to run him over, and now he expected to be saved? What is he thinking?
Shaobin’s face was contorted in pain. "Dammit, just call someone to take me to the hospital!"
"Hmm, you’re awfully loud. It seems your injuries aren’t that severe," Lin Mu said with a small smile before stepping on Shaobin’s leg.
"AARGH!"
Shaobin shot upright, his face twisted into an ugly mask of agony.
"I’m dying! I’m dying!" he howled miserably. "Let go! I’m from the Jiangling Fang Family! Let me go this instant!"
"The Jiangling Fang Family?" Lin Mu paused for a moment, then a cold smile touched his lips. "To think I’d run into someone from the Fang Family on my very first day in Jiangling. My enemies and I sure are destined to meet."
Lin Mu smiled faintly and patted Shaobin’s cheek. "Do you know who I am?"
"How the hell would I know who you are?" Shaobin yelled, the pain making him want to kill Lin Mu.
"Remember, my name is Lin Mu," he said with a small smile. "Try not to die. We’ll be seeing each other again."
With that, Lin Mu stood up to leave.
"You... you wait!"
Someone called out to him. It was the girl from the car. She had a bleeding gash on her forehead.
"I’m sorry, it was Shaobin who wanted to prank you," the girl said weakly. "He’s drunk; he didn’t mean it."
Lin Mu replied coldly, "Sorry, but I think he meant it completely."
As Lin Mu turned to walk away, the girl cried out again.
"Wait!" she said in pain. "My hand is stuck! Please, just make a call for us! I’m begging you." She pleaded, "In return... I can spend the night with you."
"Sorry, I’m not interested in you," Lin Mu scoffed. "You should worry about yourself first."
Just then, a Cadillac pulled up in front of Lin Mu. A flawless, pretty face peered out from the window, flashing him a brilliant smile. "Handsome, need a lift?"
"Sure." Lin Mu smiled faintly and turned to the girl in the wrecked car. "Sorry, my ride’s here."
With that, Lin Mu opened the passenger door and got in. With a roar of the engine, the Cadillac sped away, leaving the girl in the wrecked supercar with a look of utter despair.
