Chapter 430: If I Don't Open, No Need for Such a Grand Ceremony!

That hardline stance instantly left the brothers of Weiwu Hall with startled, uncertain expressions.

One should know that within Jinshan City, a Search Warrant is equivalent to a Final Ultimatum.

Without solid evidence, they would never have come this far.

"Did you hear that, you little brats? If you don't move out, I'll chop you into pieces!" Grand Hall Master said proudly, raising his voice.

"A dog that rides on its master's power…" one person, unable to tolerate it, spat.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Grand Hall Master's expression hardened as he stepped forward.

Just as he drew a knife and moved forward, intending to give the guy a taste of his own medicine, a hearty laugh suddenly came from behind.

"I've long heard of the Grand Hall Master of Donghai Hall, albeit from hearsay; now that I see you, the reputation is truly well‑deserved."

The sudden sarcasm made everyone turn their heads, their gazes landing on the newcomer.

A buzz‑cut man led a group, strolling forward, with mocking glints in his eyes.

"Where does this yellow‑mouthed brat come from, dare you give your name?" Grand Hall Master asked in a deep voice.

The buzz‑cut man walked straight up to him, their eyes about half a meter apart.

The aggressive, fierce gaze even caused a hint of fear to arise in Grand Hall Master's heart.

"I do not change my name when I act, nor my surname when I sit; I am surnamed Lin, with the single given name Yang!"

Lin Yang?

Grand Hall Master, after a mental search, instinctively said, "You are Su Yang's personal Guard?"

"I didn't expect a small person like me to be remembered by your Excellency; truly, it is Lin's luck." Lin Yang nodded promptly, acknowledging.

Grand Hall Master sneered, "Zhao Xian didn't come, yet you, loyal dog, have taken the lead."

"Your words are quite amusing, Excellency; you clearly are a dog, yet you label others with the same name, which truly makes Lin laugh." Lin Yang retorted sarcastically.

"You're courting death!" Grand Hall Master, seeing him mock him in front of so many brothers, became furious.

He raised his arm and swung at his neck.

Looking at that stance, the intent to kill on the street was obvious.

Yet Lin Yang did not retreat a step, staring unflinchingly at his eyes.

When the blade was only three inches from his neck, a loud stomping sound was heard.

"Boom!"

In that instant, Grand Hall Master suddenly lost all strength and ability, and with a thud he knelt on the ground.

"Ah?"

The scene left everyone dumbfounded, their minds unable to react for a moment.

"What just happened?"

He had just threatened to cut him, the knife almost at his throat, and the next second not only did the knife disappear, but he also knelt?

Not only them, Squad Leader also froze in place.

As the saying goes, beating a dog requires looking at its owner; Lin Yang's sarcastic words seemed to mock Grand Hall Master on the surface, but actually implied him.

Therefore, when the latter chose to act, he did not intervene.

But who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, this guy would kneel?

Lin Yang smiled, patted Grand Hall Master's shoulder, "Since this is our first meeting, why such a grand ceremony? Stand up."

Yet at this moment, Grand Hall Master was completely disoriented, his eyes filled with terror.

He does not lack the desire to stand.

On the contrary, as a hall master, how could he commit such a disgraceful act?

It is an unparalleled shame!

But…

In that instant, he clearly felt as if a mountain pressed on his shoulder.

He knelt down uncontrollably.

With no warning at all!

Moreover, when he tried to rise, that inexplicable force tightly bound him.

Not to mention standing up; even maintaining the kneeling posture was extremely difficult.

"What have you done to me?" Grand Hall Master clenched his teeth, veins bulging, striving not to do anything more embarrassing.

"We are all respectable figures; words require evidence. Clearly you knelt voluntarily, how can you blame me?" Lin Yang looked puzzled.

"Let me go, or I'll kill your entire family!" Grand Hall Master rasped.

Lin Yang, with a terrified face, waved his hands repeatedly, "This really has nothing to do with me; if you don't believe, ask them—who saw me tamper with you?"

Upon hearing this, the people, including those from Donghai Hall, were all bewildered.

Indeed, they saw clearly that Lin Yang never even touched him.

Yet, given their subordinates' understanding of Grand Hall Master, how could he kneel for someone else?

At this moment, Squad Leader, discerning Lin Yang's intent, said in a deep voice, "You are the administrator of the Six Directions Association, right?"

"Not really an administrator; at most I'm a handyman." Lin Yang replied.

"Then that's perfect. See the Search Warrant in my hand? Open the door now!"

Lin Yang leaned in, scrutinizing closely, and curiously pointed to the lower‑right corner, "What is this red seal?"

Squad Leader, with an arrogant expression, said, "This is the Search Army Official Seal; with this seal in hand, all under heaven is my domain!"

Lin Yang nodded as if half‑understood, "So powerful? Then what does this paper say?"

"Hmm?"

Everyone was stunned, their expressions instantly turning strange.

The Squad Leader's face darkened, and impatiently said, "The Search Army suspects the Six Unity Society of secretly hoarding arms, and has specially issued this order, commanding me to come and search."

"It couldn't be that you made it up, could it?" Lin Yang said doubtfully.

"It's written there crystal clear; what did I fabricate?"

"Sorry, I'm illiterate," Lin Yang cast an apologetic glance.

Now that it has come to this, how could the Squad Leader not realize this guy was playing him? A nameless fury surged in his heart, and he barked, "Enough chatter, open the door at once!"

"If you dare disobey, you will be guilty of treason, and will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, the brothers of the Six Unity Society all turned pale.

Treason is a capital crime; once the guilt is established, everyone present will find it hard to escape death!

"Are you trying to scare me?" Lin Yang said with a grin, "My Warehouse is filled only with junk; where would any arms come from?"

"Whether it's true or not, I'm the one who decides. I'm saying it for the last time: open the door!"

"What if I refuse to open it?"

The two sides faced off; the Squad Leader, furious to the point of a bitter laugh, noted that in all his tenure he had never seen anyone so brazen.

He dared to defy the Search Army's orders.

Even cutting him into shreds would seem mild.

"Since you don't understand the situation, don't blame me for not making myself clear."

After speaking, the Squad Leader immediately drew a gun from his waist.

The darkened muzzle pointed straight at Lin Yang's forehead, and he coldly said, "The Search Army has repeatedly issued orders; Lin Yang of the Six Unity Society defies the command and despises the Warlord; his crime warrants execution!"

"Kill him!" The Grand Hall Master's eyes bulged with blood, and a hateful Radiance flickered in them.

Yet just as he pulled the trigger, a sudden sound rang out from not far away.

"Your subordinates are illiterate; why must the Squad Leader make life hard for a mere illiterate?"

Hearing that familiar voice, the members of the Six Unity Society broke into smiles.

But the crowd at Donghai Hall wore grim faces at the newcomer.

A handsome man dressed in a Black Suit stood there, a smile at the corner of his mouth, his spring‑like visage so pleasant it was hard to feel any discomfort.

"Su Yang?!" The Grand Hall Master recognized him at a glance, and strained to stand, only to find he could not.

Su Yang passed by his side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "We're meeting for the first time; there's no need for such grand courtesy."

The Grand Hall Master's complexion turned a furious green, his qi surged, nearly spilling out!
