Chapter 494

Headquarters Command.

As time passed, the gunshots were delayed.

Su Kang had been nervous, but at this moment, he was much calmer.

That black gun barrel looked intimidating, but the person holding it lacked the guts.

"You keep saying you want to kill me, why haven't you done it yet?" Su Kang asked.

"What's the rush? It's not time yet," Lin Yang said.

Su Kang stared at the trembling pistol and smiled knowingly, "Could it be that you're so severely injured you can't even pull the trigger? Do you want me to call someone to help you?"

Lin Yang remained unmoved, just staring straight at him.

Indeed, in a game lacking All-Purpose Recovery Injections, a single fatal wound could end a player's career.

At this moment, intense pain surged throughout his body; Lin Yang forced himself to stand and hold the gun, while his muscles were actually spasming.

If not for the fact that he had undergone one body enhancement, an ordinary person would have already passed out.

"I can wait a few minutes; it just depends on whether you dare to gamble," Lin Yang said.

"You don't dare to kill me," Su Kang said.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Yang said with interest, "What makes you say that?"

"You and I both know that the urge to kill someone is unstoppable."

"There are no rules or laws in Jinshan City now; the value of a life isn't even worth two catties of pork."

"Whether it's me... or everyone present, it's the same."

"But you still haven't pulled the trigger. I think it's not just because you have reservations, but because you're afraid you won't be able to handle the aftermath, right?" Su Kang said.

"You mean... I'm just raising the gun to scare you?" A playful look appeared on Lin Yang's face.

Su Kang said noncommittally, "Now that Su Yang's fate is unknown and all the Hall Masters are gathered, you could have killed me and then used threats and inducements to seize the position of Gang Leader."

"That's the logic of a normal person; I have never believed there is such a thing as pure loyalty in this world."

"Blind loyalty only happens in feudal dynasties; modern people have too many concerns."

"In my opinion, a supporting character is always a supporting character. You don't have the heart to be a king, so you won't go far in the future."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: everything you do for Su Yang now is just wishful thinking. He won't appreciate your kindness, and don't try to move yourself."

"In my eyes, the best subordinate relationship is employment. So-called brotherhood is hard to maintain without counting gains and losses, even in peaceful times."

"You are a pawn, yet you enjoy it. There is nothing more pathetic in this world."

Lin Yang listened to his nonsense, fanned the air in disgust, and said with a look of revulsion, "I finally understand why I couldn't break your defense."

"You are truly shameless."

"My grandma was right; if a person is shameless, they are truly invincible."

"You are invincible."

Seeing that he was impervious to reason, Su Kang decided to add fuel to the fire, "Actually, you know I'm right; you just don't want to admit it."

Lin Yang sneered, "I find you have quite a lot of inner drama, even fantasizing about what I'm thinking."

"I've changed my mind again. I won't kill you now; I'll wait for Su Yang to come back and make a decision."

"Killing one's father with one's own hands might even be a hidden achievement."

Su Kang laughed instead of getting angry, "He's not coming back. I've already laid a net on the only path he can take. Unless he grows wings, he won't escape my grasp!"

"Bamboo Forest Gang?" Lin Yang frowned.

"After years of planning, did you think I would let him come back so easily?" Su Kang's smile grew wider.

Then he changed the subject, "It doesn't matter if you restrict my personal freedom. The voting result is already set anyway. As long as I insert these three sticks of incense, even if you have heaven-defying abilities, you can't change the facts."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shackles and pressure on his body vanished.

The duration of the 'Gravity' talent had ended.

Su Kang stood up, stretched his limbs, shook his head, and said, "With a brother as loyal as you, if Su Yang knew in the afterlife, he would surely be moved to tears, right?"

He lifted the Guan Er Ye statue and relit the three sticks of incense.

"This is your last chance. The position of Gang Leader... do you want it or not?"

Lin Yang's eyes flickered, his trembling hand suddenly steadied, his index finger moved to the trigger, and he pulled with force!

Just then, a hearty voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"As long as he wants it, what's the harm in giving him the Emperor's Throne?"

"Su Yang?!" Zhao Xian and the others widened their eyes and looked at the door in unison.

A tall figure covered in blood walked in, his deep eyes filled with a smile.

It was the same familiar formula.

It was the same familiar taste!

"You're back..." Lin Yang felt relieved, his whole body collapsing onto the flatbed cart like a deflated balloon.

He gasped for air, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

These four words carried all the struggle and bitterness he had endured in these short fifteen minutes.

Upon learning that Su Yang was being intercepted and besieged from multiple sides, Lin Yang's heart had been in his throat.

Now that he saw him safe and sound, the burden on his shoulders could finally be handed over.

He was in pain, and he was tired.

Su Yang patted his shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work. From now on... leave it to me."

Lin Yang nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Holding on until now was entirely due to a breath of air and faith.

A severely injured patient would normally need a long rest, but he ignored his injuries and had Zhou Xiaoshi bring him here to stop Su Kang's conspiracy.

He even forced himself to stand up despite the pain to suppress Su Kang's ambition.

And his faith...

Naturally, it was the firm belief that Su Yang would definitely overcome the difficulties.

From the moment he returned, Lin Yang understood—

Xiong Yu and Fan Rui had already been dealt with, and the Bamboo Forest Gang had also been dealt with.

Everything was fine!

What else was there to worry about?

"You're not dead?!" Su Kang turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"I've seen many stories of hoping one's son becomes a dragon, but hoping one's son goes to hell is a first." Su Yang took the gun from Lin Yang's hand.

But as soon as he applied force, he found that he was gripping the gun very tightly.

Even in his sleep, he hadn't let go.

Su Yang whispered, "Give me the gun, I'll handle it."

As the words fell, Lin Yang finally let go.

At this moment, Su Kang was like a mouse seeing a cat; he hurriedly lit the incense and slammed it into the incense burner.

"The result is set. Even if you come back, it's to no avail. The position of Gang Leader belongs only to me!" Su Kang said with bloodshot eyes.

Amidst many surprised gazes, Su Kang knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Guan Er Ye.

His eager thoughts and hurried actions looked particularly ridiculous.

Zhao Xian reacted immediately and rushed toward Su Kang.

"Bang bang..."

His head hit the ground hard, making a dull sound.

"My position, no one can take it away!"

"Bang!"

Just as he was about to kowtow for the third time, a gunshot rang out.
