Chapter 263: Fighting to the Death with the Female Demon!

Swish! Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression changed?

A life‑risking partnership?

What is she trying to do?

"What life?" Lin Yuan instantly warned.

"Buy your life." Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes gloomy, she slowly said, "Lin Yuan, tonight I'm giving you your last chance. As long as you work for my K Group, I can guarantee your safety. Otherwise…… your life will truly not be preserved. This is my final warning."

Lin Yuan's gaze turned icy, and he just stared at Hong Wenyan.

"I said before, you never took it to heart, Eldest Miss. I said I would never betray the Divine Phoenix Group. Unless, kill me." Lin Yuan said each word clearly.

In front of the VIP booth, the atmosphere instantly became oppressively cold.

Hong Wenyan's stunning red lips curled up, 'Heh, you're really stubborn.'

"Alright, let's settle this. Do you know how much your Goddess Bar earns in a day?" Hong Wenyan asked.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, just kept looking at her.

"The Goddess Bar's daily revenue is 1 million. With a profit margin of about 20%, the Goddess Bar Branch's daily net profit is therefore 200,000. Monthly total profit is 7 million! So ask yourself, how much does your boss, the Phoenix God, actually pay you per month?" Hong Wenyan asked coldly.

Lin Yuan didn't answer.

He had also figured out this question.

Indeed, the Goddess Bar's profit is very high.

This is Hangcheng's largest bar chain, earning several million a month with ease.

By comparison, Lin Yuan's salary is indeed very low.

"I'm not greedy; I don't need much money, just enough to get by. Besides, the money the Goddess Bar makes comes from our boss's own investments, and she bears the risk. I can't possibly be greedy for the boss's money." Lin Yuan replied earnestly.

How much money he makes, he really doesn't care.

All he cares about is earning this money with peace of mind—no breaking the law, no violating rules.

"You've been brainwashed by the Phoenix God, used by her, and you still don't get it? The Phoenix God herself rakes in so much money, yet gives you such a pittance—is it worth it?" Hong Wenyan continued to stir things up, "But if you're willing to join my K Group, I'll give you a high enough salary!"

"As long as you join my K Group, I'll put you in charge of two venues; you can take half of their income. You can earn at least 2 million a month as a base."

That income is insane!

This is an income that ordinary commoners couldn't earn even after ten lifetimes of hard work.

Monthly income starting at 2 million!

How terrifying.

Lin Yuan's heart also jumped, but he still shook his head, 'Sorry, Hong Wenyan, I won't do illegal business. Even if you gave me 200 million, I wouldn't do it.'

Hong Wenyan said coldly, 'I won't let you do illegal, rule‑breaking business; I can also give you two bars, you just need to manage them for me.'

Lin Yuan still shook his head, 'Sorry, I said it—I won't join the K Group.'

Hong Wenyan's tactics, Lin Yuan had already guessed.

First get Lin Yuan to join the K Group, then slowly pressure him to break the law, to get him aboard.

In the end, Lin Yuan will only be forced onto the path of illegal crime.

Those criminals on TV are all portrayed this way.

So Lin Yuan directly refused to join.

He refuses to mix with criminals.

"You're truly hopeless." Hong Wenyan gritted her teeth.

Lin Yuan no longer bothered with her, and went straight upstairs.

Watching Lin Yuan leave, Hong Wenyan clenched her teeth against her red lips, a flash of killing intent crossing her eyes.

Soon, Hong Wenyan also got up and left.

……

The Goddess Bar operated until 4 a. m. before finally closing.

The branch opened, business was booming, and it was packed every day.

Lin Yuan and the staff had to work until 4 or 5 a. m. each night before they could get off work.

At this point, Lin Yuan had finally managed to stay until shift's end.

It was already 4 a. m.

Lin Yuan hurriedly clocked out, arrived at the bar's entrance, and was about to mount his bicycle to go home.

He was too tired.

But as Lin Yuan rode his bicycle, just as he passed the first four‑way intersection—

"Bang!" Suddenly a gunshot roared!

A bullet suddenly shot out from the left‑hand alley!

The bullet, unexpected, headed straight for Lin Yuan's temple!

Lin Yuan was riding when he heard the gunshot; his body reacted instinctively, and he lunged forward to hit the ground!

His bicycle also fell to the ground!

That bullet grazed past the back of Lin Yuan's head at high speed!

The bullet missed, lost its target, and embedded itself in the wall behind.

Meanwhile, the back of Lin Yuan's head felt a burning pain.

He touched it with his hand, and the skin on the back of his head had been scraped by the bullet.

Lucky!

Just a little more, and his skull would have been pierced by the bullet!

"Bang!" At that moment, another gunshot swept through the alley!

The second bullet shot out!

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly tightened, and he reflexively rolled to dodge!

"Pfft!" But that bullet still shot into Lin Yuan's abdomen.

The bullet entered his abdomen, Lin Yuan's pupils contracted, and he instantly felt a piercing, excruciating pain!

He was shot!

Lin Yuan's expression turned grave, sensing something amiss!

Fresh blood instantly stained his white shirt crimson, the excruciating pain tore viciously.

Lin Yuan endured the pain, he fiercely stabbed a Silver Needle into the wound's acupoint on his abdomen, using acupuncture to stop the bleeding in a short time.

At this moment, in the alley, an absolutely beautiful figure stepped in high heels, holding a firearm, walking slowly toward Lin Yuan.

Her black skirt swayed lightly with her steps, outlining a sensual, alluring line.

The sound of her high heels pacing echoed in the night.

Lin Yuan turned his head in shock and saw the woman walking out of the corridor—it was actually Hong Wenyan!

"It's you!" Lin Yuan covered his abdominal wound, gritting his teeth.

At this moment, his hand covering the wound was already stained bright red with blood.

"Lin Yuan, since you refuse to cooperate, I can only… send you to hell. Our New Faction Group Alliance will not allow someone like you to keep growing; your threat to us is too great." Hong Wenyan's voice was ice-cold as she spoke, raising her firearm again.

「Lin Yuan, since you refuse to cooperate, I can only…… send you to hell. Our New Faction Group Alliance will never allow someone like you to keep growing; your threat to us is too great. 」 Hong Wenyan's voice was ice‑cold, she said, raising her gun again.

Three bullets shot out explosively toward Lin Yuan!

But just one second before Hong Wenyan fired, Lin Yuan had already precisely sensed her movement.

Lin Yuan anticipated her shooting action.

So before Hong Wenyan fired, Lin Yuan had already rolled rapidly, perfectly dodging her shooting!

Lin Yuan rolled his body and rapidly closed in toward Hong Wenyan's direction!

Hong Wenyan's pretty face was icy cold; seeing that several consecutive shots missed, she momentarily felt panicked.

Hong Wenyan had practiced shooting for many years, yet this was the first time she saw a man actually dodge bullets with his bodily technique?

Hong Wenyan had practiced shooting for many years, yet this was the first time she saw a man who could actually dodge bullets with his fleshly body technique?

Such tactics, she had only seen in TV dramas and action movies!

Hong Wenyan raised her hand again, aligning the gun barrel with Lin Yuan, and fired once more!

"Bang! Bang!" Two more consecutive shots, the bullets missed again!

Lin Yuan rolled his body to dodge, avoiding Hong Wenyan's bullets!

Hong Wenyan's pretty face changed color! There were few bullets left in her pistol.

Hong Wenyan continued firing, spraying wildly!

Lin Yuan anticipated her actions in advance! So he rolled sharply to dodge!

Several bullets whizzed past him, striking the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust!

Although Lin Yuan dodged the bullets, several grazed his skin, breaking it.

Lin Yuan truly risked his life to dodge the bullets.

Several times, he almost got hit by the bullets.

At this moment, Hong Wenyan's firearm finally ran out of bullets.

Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes were icy and ruthless; she quickly changed the magazine!

While Hong Wenyan was changing magazines, Lin Yuan's movement was extremely fast; he rolled sharply and suddenly closed in on Hong Wenyan!

Immediately after, he twisted his two fingers sharply!

"Whoosh!" A Silver Needle shot out toward Hong Wenyan!

"Whoosh!" A Silver Needle shot toward Hong Wenyan!

"Pfft!" Hong Wenyan's delicate body jerked back, but she simply could not dodge Lin Yuan's Silver Needle.

Hong Wenyan's bullet was very fast.

Lin Yuan's Silver Needle hidden weapon was also very fast!

One needle directly sealed Hong Wenyan's Chest Center acupoint.

When this acupoint is struck, it can render Hong Wenyan's body completely immobile, just like the Sunflower Acupoint technique in TV dramas.

At this moment, Hong Wenyan's delicate body instantly stiffened in place, unable to move.

Only then did Lin Yuan have a chance; he hurriedly closed in and rushed toward Hong Wenyan.

Lin Yuan came before Hong Wenyan, and with a backhand move he directly snatched the gun from her hand.

But just then, Hong Wenyan's delicate body suddenly became able to move!

That Silver Needle inserted into her body could not seal her Chest Center acupoint!

Lin Yuan's face changed drastically!

This Hong Wenyan's mental willpower is too strong!

Even the acupressure Silver Needle cannot seal her.

Lin Yuan's traditional Chinese medicine Silver Needle acupressure works by sealing the opponent's Chest Center acupoint, causing the opponent's brain motor nerves to fall into short-term paralysis and numbness.

In this way, the opponent cannot move their body.

But if a person's mental willpower is too strong, then Lin Yuan cannot seal their body.

At this moment, Hong Wenyan regained control of her body within just a few seconds.

This shows how strong her mental willpower is!

Hong Wenyan's jade hand struck like lightning; her left hand fiercely clutched Lin Yuan's throat and Adam's apple.

Attempt to suffocate Lin Yuan.

Her other hand fiercely grabbed the firearm in Lin Yuan's hand, attempting to seize it back!

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly changed; this woman's rear is indeed terrifying!

Even Lin Yuan didn't react in time.

Lin Yuan instantly fought back, entangled in combat with Hong Wenyan!

During their entanglement, with a "thud" sound they fell to the ground, Lin Yuan directly threw Hong Wenyan to the ground!

Lin Yuan's body had no restraint, directly pressing heavily on Hong Wenyan's delicate body.

But Hong Wenyan dared not show weakness, her jade legs fiercely clamped Lin Yuan's head!

This is a leg triangle lock, attempting to completely break Lin Yuan's neck!
