C67 Ambush

Lin Sho's group of goons directly came up to him, to check if he's s ok. The materialized spear Qi is now gone, however, the pain it caused hasn't still subsided.

His shoulder got injured, due to the puncture. And it was currently bleeding. Hence, Lin Sho can't move around easily.

Alas, Lin Sho is the son of the City Lord, so he obviously has a medicine pill. He took one from his storage ring and directly swallowed it soon after.

The medicine pill needs a few minutes to help him recover to a state where he could at least walk, so Lin Sho and his group are now waiting in the middle of a street, where a crowd was surrounding.

Due to losing against Lin Feng. Lin Sho could feel some stares directed upon him.

Some due to pity, some in sympathy, and some mockingly.

This made him angry even more.

"What are you looking at? Scram for me!" He shouted towards the crowd with a slight hint of threat.

When the crowd heard this, they immediately scattered and run away in panic.

Who are they? What can they do? They are just one of the numerous citizens of this city, while Lin Sho is the son of the City Lord.

If Lin Sho wanted them to die, then what can they do?

They don't wanna anger the spoiled young master even more, so they hurriedly escaped away, or else, they might be the unlucky person that got killed, due to Lin Sho venting some anger.

The notoriety of Lin Sho is famous throughout the city, so no one wanted to dare to risk it, and they all left hurriedly.

"Lin Feng!! Lin Feng!! Just wait, I'll get you back for this." Lin Sho swore after telling the crowd to scram away.

...

After a few minutes passed...

Lin Sho's injury finally recovered slightly. He is now able to barely walk, so the group decided to went back to their estate.

Even the two goons who got sliced up recovered barely and has bandages all over them.

There were three injured people on this group of Lin Sho, so their traveling speed was quite slow.

While traveling towards the Lin estate, Lin Sho could still feel the mocking gazes of people from the distance.

This deepened his hatred against Lin Feng, and made him even more to resolute, to take revenge on him.

He wanted to find some ordinary citizen along the way; to vent some of his anger because of the mocking gazes.

However, the citizens of the city-run away, whenever they came close. Even some ordinary shops, closed up; to avoid a calamity.

After a couple of walking... They arrived on a street, where there were no people around.

And because of the shops closing down for the meantime, there weren't any observers around this street.

Lin Sho could finally feel free. No more stares and gazes that would eat him up.

However...

This freedom did not last for long.

Moments later... The group could feel strong pressure around them.

Then, Lin Sho suddenly fell unconscious. The group directly came up to him, But before they could ask him, the group of goons started to fell unconscious too.

Like a domino effect, they started falling down, one by one. The remaining goons who were still conscious started to dread.

They looked around and all they can see were empty establishments, and shops that were closed down.

One by one and everyone fell unconscious.

Well...technically not everyone. There was a goon who still has his consciousness.

This goon... Is the spiky-haired one that knew the info about the past of Lin Feng's mom.

He wasn't unconscious, however, he was facing the ground, due to an intense heavy pressure that is surrounding him.

"Senior, MERCY... MERCY..." The spiky-haired goon begged and plead, as his face was touching the ground.

He...as an information gathering master, obviously isn't naive regarding the matters outside the city.

Some of his peers might be like a frog in a well, due to staying in this city without getting out.

But he is different.

He had aspirations and goals, way above this city, and so. he learned about the matters of the world.

Such as, when he felt the intense, heavy pressure around him, he thought: "an expert!"

And he immediately begged mercy for his survival.

"Dududug... Dude dug... Dududug..."

Someone's footsteps were suddenly heard. However, each step he makes, made the earth tremble.

Creating a quaky atmosphere on the whole street. Just a minor one, so the others couldn't feel it.

But to the spiky-haired goon, this trembling was clearly felt. He walks slowly... step by step, towards the group.

This 'someone' is obviously Kyle.

When the fiasco happened on the restaurant, Lin Feng who was supposed to be the mc, wasn't the one that caught his attention.

Nor the supposed villain, Lin Sho. The one who caught his attention was the side character goon, who knew the past of Lin Feng's mom.

During his stay in the city, Kyle noticed that, despite the city stronger than the beast plains, there weren't anyone who was stronger than him.

But... As someone who came from earth. He definitely knew there were some hidden monsters out there; especially those noble clans and famous sects.

He just came to the city, so he doesn't know the current standing of this place, and so, he decided to find some information.

Asking openly is plain too stupid. Learning as he goes, costs a lot of time. Investigating personally has risks, and it wasn't his specialty, so it was out of the equation.

So, he decided to find someone who specialized in information gathering. And make him his companion.

When he saw the spiky-haired goon, side character during the fiasco on the Lingzhi Pavillion. He decided to choose him.

Although he doesn't know him personality-wise. In this kind of world, once you have strength, almost everyone will follow.

Having him as a companion is also a risk since you could question his loyalty. Hence, he created intense pressure to prevent him from seeing his face.

Loyalty needs time and effort, so that wasn't really a problem. He needed him to give him information, it's not like they will share baths or anything.

So, he ambushed the group to entice the spiky-haired goon.

Well... He used fear and dominance, but that was to be expected since no one would want to follow a weakling.

And if he shows how strong he is, then, the goon might decide to follow him.

And such, Kyle came before him and said: "Do you want to live?"
