“Boss, the person who lives here seems to be very rich.”

“Of course. Just the BMW 7 Series alone is enough to show that the person

living in it is not simple.”

“But he’s already so rich. Why is he still living in the slums? How degrading.”

“You underestimate human nature.” Lin Yi said.

“This is the largest slum in Pabem City. Even the police are unwilling to come here. It’s a area outside the law. The people who rule here are like local emperors. They can control the resources of Cullen District at will and even form small-scale armed forces. If it were you, would you be willing to go elsewhere and be an ordinary person?”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhou Liang was enlightened.

It was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. It was good to call the shots here.

“Wait here for a while. I’m going to inform Boss Maxa about this.”

The two of them didn’t speak. They stood quietly at the entrance of the villa.

Ba.s.so walked straight in.

However, in a few minutes, he walked out and said to Lin Yi,

“Come in with me. Boss Maxa wants to see you.”

Lin Yi nodded and whispered into Zhou Liang’s ear.

“Be careful when you go in. Maxa is considered a top figure. He might have learned about what happened during the day through the television and the news. Once you realize something’s wrong, restrain him immediately.

“Understood!” Zhou Liang said solemnly.

Under Ba.s.so’s lead, the two of them arrived at the interior of the villa.

Unexpectedly, the villa’s design was very Huaxian.

There were many places that reflected Huaxian elements, which surprised the two of them.

On the sofa sat a man in his forties. He had a drooping beard and was slightly plump. He looked very fit.

As expected, this man was Maxa.

Behind him stood two rows of people, who seemed to be his bodyguards and

servants.

From the moment he entered, Lin Yi had been observing Maxa.

He noticed that the latter’s facial expression did not change at all.

Judging from this, he did not seem to know what had happened during the day.

For the time being, he and Zhou Liang were safe.

When he saw the two of them, Maxa lit a cigar and crossed his legs, showing a superior att.i.tude.

“Why are you causing trouble in my territory? I hope you can give me an explanation.”

“You were the ones causing trouble.”

Lin Yi pointed at Ba.s.so and said.

“Your subordinates came to rob us. How can you say that I’m the one causing trouble? The responsibility is on you.”

“This is my place. If you stay here, you’ll have to hand over half your supplies. That’s the rule in Cullen.”

Maxa flicked the ash from his cigarette.

“Of course, you’re Huaxians. It’s fine if you don’t understand the rules here. Moreover, I have a good impression of Huaxians. I’m willing to give you a chance. As long as you hand over a third of the supplies, you can stay here.

Now’ the two of them understood why Maxa’s house had so many Huaxian elements. They didn’t expect him to have such a strange complex.

“Sorry, we don’t have much on us. We can’t give you anything. It’s better for you to just give up on those thoughts.”

Maxa’s face tightened, feeling as if his authority had been challenged.

“You should know what this place is. Disobedient people get chopped up and dragged outside to feed the dogs!”

Lin Yi shrugged. “Your threat doesn’t work on me. I came to find you not because I’m afraid, but because you’re useful to me.”

“What do you mean?!”

“You’re about to find out!”

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else. He exerted strength in his feet and rushed towards Maxa.

He used his large neck to grab Maxa’s neck and immediately restrained him.

“What are you doing?!”

Maxa panicked, not expecting this to happen.

At the same time, the bodyguards behind Maxa reacted immediately. They took out their weapon and aimed it at Lin Yi and Zhou Liang.

“Put your guns down or I’ll kill him!”

“Come on, put the guns down!”

Facing the fierce Lin Yi, Masak panicked and ordered his subordinates behind him to put down their weapons.

“Ah!”

At this moment, a scream sounded!

Lin Yi and Zhou Liang turned their heads and saw a young woman walking in with freshly washed fruits.

The woman standing was very young. She looked to be in her early twenties, and the fruits had fallen to the ground.

Although her skin was not white, she was not brown. She was similar to an ordinary yellow-skinned Huaxian, but her eyes were a little sunken, and her nose bridge was high. She matched the characteristics of a foreigner.

He seemed to be of mixed-blood.

Zhou Liang made a prompt decision and rushed towards the young woman. He grabbed her neck and used her as a hostage.

“What the h.e.l.l are you doing?! You’re not allowed to touch my daughter!” Maxa roared.

Seeing his daughter in danger, Maxa lost control of his emotions.

“Behave yourself.” Lin Yi said.

■Tve already told you. As long as you cooperate obediently, the two of you won’t be in danger. Although I’m not a good person, I still have this bit of integrity.

“What the h.e.l.l do you want?” Maxa said in a panic.

“Don’t worry, we’re not here for money or your life. You just have to do as I say and provide some help.”

“You can tell me what help you need. 1’11 do my best to satisfy you, but don’t touch my daughter.”

“Don’t worry, we Huaxians are much better than you. We won’t touch your daughter,” Lin Yi said.

“I need a phone and four computers. Prepare them now. If you can’t prepare them in half an hour, prepare for your daughter’s funeral.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Don’t be rash. I’ll go prepare now.”

After calming Lin Yi down, Maxa shouted at Ba.s.so,

“What are you waiting for? Prepare the things according to his request!”

“I’ll go now.”

Ba.s.so was also dumbfounded. He never dreamed that these two men would be so ruthless that they even dared to take Boss Maxa hostage!

Ba.s.so ran out, and Lin Yi and Zhou Liang heaved a sigh of relief.

Once the computer was in place, they could easily avert the danger!

At this stage, things were finally coming to an end.

“d.a.m.n it!” Zhou Liang cursed. “When I return safely, I have to come back and do something to them!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as the two of them thought that they could heave a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard a series of gunshots outside the courtyard.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Ba.s.so running back in a hurry and shouting desperately.

“Boss, bad news. There’s a group of Meiguon soldiers outside. They’re rushing up the mountain.. Many of them are injured!”
