'We're being followed?!'

Lin Ruoyu's expression turned dark, she sneaked a peek at the rear-view mirror while maintaining her driving speed.

"I don't think they will follow us all the way to the Lin family estate!"

The Porsche continued to speed down the road. Everything appeared to be normal.

Honk honk honk—

Right then, a huge truck was coming directly towards Ye Lingchen at an alarming speed accompanied by a series of honking sounds!

If they collided, the entire Porsche would be turned into a pancake!

"Sh*t!" Lin Ruoyu cursed under her breath. She spun the wheel quickly, forcibly changing the car's direction.

Honk honk honk—

After some distance, another truck appeared rushing at the Porsche once again!

"They're not friendly!" Lin Ruoyu pushed a button in the car. Following that, a bright light flashed within the car.

"That's our rescue signal I installed in the car. It's to allow my family to obtain my immediate location and send people nearby for assistance," explained Lin Ruoyu.

As they were talking, two trucks came at them from two separate junctions. Lin Ruoyu felt helpless, and could only continue to change her course.

Along the way, such a situation happened five times!

If not for Lin Ruoyu's quick reflexes and excellent driving skills, the outcome would have been disastrous for both of them.

"It seems that they're trying to herd us somewhere." Lin Ruoyu took a deep breath, her expression ugly.

There were fewer and fewer people around them. It would appear that they have reached a desolate location.

At times like these, she dared not get the slightest bit distracted. Her eyes looked everywhere, staying alert to the possibility of danger appearing at any second.

The car behind them still followed them at a leisurely speed. Within their field of vision, another black Land Rover appeared, blocking them right in the middle of the road as if waiting for Lin Ruoyu's arrival.

"I think they are coming for our Lin family!" Looking at the scale of their attempt, it was unrelated to Ye Lingchen. Lin Ruoyu looked apologetically at Ye Lingchen. "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

Ye Lingchen shook his head without a care. "Let's settle the current situation first."

For daring to act against the Lin family, the enemy must have had some unimaginable power behind them!

The Porsche slowly pulled to a halt and both of them got out of the car.

At the same time, two people got down from the Land Rover and another two more got down from the one behind it.

They were all wearing black short-sleeved shirts. Their build was not bulky but they had very well-toned muscles. Each movement looked firm and strong, giving off an imposing feeling. They were not normal martial artists.

The scariest part was the aura that their bodies emitted. It was a mixture of ruthlessness and violence as though they had emerged from a mountain of corpses and seas of blood, as though they were the grim reaper.

"Who are you?" Lin Ruoyu asked coldly.

"Miss Lin, have you heard of Earth's Gate?" The leader was bald. His left eye had a deep knife scar, a gaze filled with malice.

"You're from Earth's Gate?"

Lin Ruoyu gasped in the cold air, her expression darkened. "How dare you step foot into China!"

"Hehe, our 10-year promise has come to an end. All our grudges with your grandfather, we'll settle it one by one with him! Our aim today was to invite Miss Lin over to our place for a stay. Treat this as collecting interest," The bald man smiled.

"What if I say no?" Lin Ruoyu's eyes narrowed.

"Hehe, that's not up to you!" The bald man, confident in his ability to subdue Lin Ruoyu, took his time to explain slowly. "In the past, your grandfather and our leader fought. Although your grandfather won by a small margin, I don't think he had it easy too. It's a miracle that he survived. Within the past ten years, Earth's Gate honored the promise to not set foot into China. Now, not only has our leader fully recovered, his ability has improved greatly. This time, is there anyone in your Warrior's Department that's a match for the Earth's Gate?!"

"If you come again, the result will be as before. You will leave this country like a defeated dog!" Lin Ruoyu retorted coldly.

The bald man laughed, "Your words won't get you anywhere, just like your current situation. Admit it or not, you're already our prisoner. You can follow us obediently or be dragged away forcefully. The choice is yours."

Lin Ruoyu was troubled, unable to come up with any retort.

"You're sure full of nonsense! We're in a hurry. Get lost once you're done with your speech!" Right then, Ye Lingchen who was just standing at the sideline suddenly joined the conversation.

He still needed to go back for the live stream after Grandfather Lin's treatment. His schedule was packed and he did not want to waste time listening to this bald guy's bullsh*t.

Hm?

The bald man was stunned. The other three men were stunned too. In their minds, this scene should not have happened.

Finally, all their gazes focused on Ye Lingchen.

At first, Ye Lingchen was like an ant, not worthy of their attention, hence they did not even pay him any heed. Who would have thought that this kid would surprise them with such words?

'This kid is asking for death!'

"Do you know who you're talking to?" The bald man laughed, "I've never bothered myself with a bug, nor would I care about a bug's life or death. As long as you're willing to kowtow to me and sincerely apologize, I'll consider sparing your life. After all… killing you would be soiling my hands!"

"Dumb*ss, can you shut up? Scram!" Ye Lingchen's gaze was lined with impatience as he spoke.

"You're asking for death! This is your last chance to voice your regrets!" The bald man's eyes flashed with a murderous fury, his voice ruthless and dark. "I'll torture you slowly and make you kowtow to your death!"

Having said that, he walked up towards Ye Lingchen!

With each step, his aura grew stronger, as though the grim reaper approached!

Vroom!

Right at that moment, accompanying the roaring sound of engines were three Jeeps rushing onto the scene.

Four people came out from each car, quickly gathering around Lin Ruoyu's side. Their expressions were cold, reporting in one voice, "We twelve are the Warrior's Department eight division's martial artists. Reporting to Miss Lin!"

With the reinforcements, Lin Ruoyu's dark mood started to improve.

After sending out her rescue signal, this eight-division must have been the closest to her, hence being the first to arrive.

Lin Ruoyu announced coldly. "They are from the Earth's Gate. The opponents are very strong. Be careful when you take action. Capture if possible and kill those you can't!"

"Understood!"

The twelve immediately turned their attention to the four from Earth's Gate, their eyes gleaming with a serious look on their face.

Following that, they lowered their body and pounced forward in an instant.

As martial artists, they have heard bits and pieces about the Earth's Gate.

Earth's Gate, also known as Earth's Gate Martial Arts Association!

It originated from the Sun Nation1. Rumor had it that it was passed on from an ancient faction. Their members learned true martial arts, and it was filled with many capable people. All the while they were growing stronger!

Simply put, they were like the Shaolin Temple of China.

However, the Earth's Gate was obsessive about martial arts and had strong bloodlust. They acted with impunity, once naming themselves as the sacred ground martial arts. Time and time again they stepped foot into China trying to compete with the Warrior's Department. Their arrogance knew no bounds.

10 years ago, Earth's Gate's top fighter was defeated by someone within the Warrior's Department and they have disappeared since then.

Unexpectedly, they were attempting a comeback this time!

The twelve belonged to one team and they were used to cooperating as a team. Furthermore, as martial artists, their combat ability was beyond the average person. One of them was sufficient to handle over 10 adults.

They were moving as one. Dextrous, fearsome, and struck like the wind!

With twelve against four, they were confident to take their opponents down quickly!
