Chapter 165

This was clearly a sign that he wouldn't let it go easily.

Du Yan Jack only felt his whole body was icy cold, shrouded in immense fear, and increasingly desperate.

As for the culprit Medusa, she was also full of regret; if she had known, she shouldn't have offended the Shadow Master just now, otherwise, she wouldn't have brought a fatal disaster upon herself.

It's just a pity that it's too late to regret now.

But how could Medusa be willing to wait for death obediently?

Rather than being cruelly killed by the Shadow Master, it would be better to fight for it.

She made up her mind and began to incite Du Yan Jack beside her.

"Boss, even if he really is the Shadow Master, we don't need to retreat. The Shadow Master hasn't appeared for many years; maybe his closed-door cultivation failed, and his current strength is far inferior to before."

"What if they are just bluffing? Wouldn't we have fallen into their scheme?"

"We brought more people than them; why don't we fight it out? Maybe we can even kill the Shadow Master, and then you will become famous!"

No matter how good Tattoo is, it can't compare to Shadow, but if they killed the Shadow Master, the head of Shadow, they would be an organization even more feared than Shadow.

The Shadow Master seemed to have completely not heard Medusa's words and was fiddling with the Thousand-Machine Umbrella in his hand on his own.

But the followers behind him laughed extremely exaggeratedly as if they had heard some joke.

"It seems we really haven't come out to exercise our skills for too long, making these idiots somewhat forget themselves..."

"Since they question the strength of our Shadow, let them see what Shadow really is!"

"My blade hasn't been maintained with fresh blood for a long time; the blade doesn't seem to have any luster..."

The laughter of these people lingered in the ears of Du Yan Jack and the others, which was simply a series of death warrants, making them nearly collapse.

Du Yan Jack only felt his throat was being gripped by an invisible giant hand, making him unable to breathe.

That stupid woman Medusa, being clever and implicating them, is truly damnable!

Wait...

He suddenly realized something, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart again.

If he killed Medusa, the culprit, wouldn't he be able to answer to the Shadow Master?

Although Medusa was his capable assistant, in order to appease the anger of Lord Shadow Master, he could only choose to take action.

Who told Medusa to dare to offend the Shadow Master?

Thinking of this, Du Yan Jack decisively took out his pistol and shot a hole through Medusa's head.

Medusa's body swayed twice and fell straight to the ground.

Her eyes were open, showing her unwillingness.

Seeing Medusa's corpse fall at his feet, Du Yan Jack just frowned in disgust and then hurriedly apologized to the masked man.

"Lord Shadow Master, it was my fault for not managing my subordinates well and letting her offend you. Now I have already killed this ignorant stupid woman for you; I ask you to show mercy and spare us..."

He bowed his body humbly, not even daring to lift his head, for fear of seeing the murderous eyes of the other party.

The masked man still didn't speak; instead, a follower beside him respectfully asked for instructions.

"Lord Shadow Master?"

The man waved his hand casually and put away the Thousand-Machine Umbrella he was holding.

Seeing this, the follower said to Du Yan Jack and the others with an impatient tone: "You are still sensible. It just so happens that I am in a good mood today; you are lucky, get lost!"

"Thank you, Lord Shadow Master!"

Du Yan Jack nodded and bowed repeatedly as if he had been granted amnesty: "We'll get lost right now!"

"Hurry up!" As if afraid the man would go back on his word, he retreated with his subordinates at the fastest speed, not even dealing with Medusa's corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the Tattoo assassins were all gone, leaving only Chen Xiaoxiao and the others dumbfounded.

The people from Tattoo just left like that?

Chen Xiaoxiao opened her mouth in extreme shock and finally accepted the fact that Tattoo had retreated.

But she didn't have any joy of surviving a disaster, because they still had to face Shadow, which was a hundred times more terrifying than Tattoo.

If they fought to the death against Tattoo, they might still have a chance of escaping by luck.

But now their enemy was Shadow, so they didn't even have the heart to resist; the difference in strength was simply too great.

A Wei subconsciously looked at Tang Bingyan, who was still lying in the car, his face ashen.

The Tang family bodyguards looked at the people in the back with vigilance, the veins on the backs of their hands holding weapons bulging.

After Tattoo left, the pair of bodyguards dressed as Shadow members didn't immediately reveal their identities; they were waiting for Xu Tian's instructions.

Now that they had succeeded, they still couldn't relax.

In case the people from Tattoo came back for a return strike, they would be at risk of being exposed.

After the crisis was resolved, the captain Bai Lu looked at Xu Tian standing beside him with a complex gaze.

He had been full of reluctance when he learned that he was to escort this man to escape before.

As Tang Bingyan's bodyguard, he would rather die protecting his master than escort a pretty boy to live a cowardly life.

But this time Xu Tian refreshed his perception of him.

Because he was influenced by Chen Xiaoxiao, Bai Lu had originally thought that Xu Tian was just a pretty boy who lived off a woman and was useless.

But when they arrived at the pier, Xu Tian resolutely gave them instructions; the whole process was calm and decisive, and even when facing the vicious Tattoo assassins, he didn't show any fear.

Now that Xu Tian's plan had succeeded, Bai Lu would no longer treat him as a useless freeloader, but instead had a bit more respect.

At the critical moment, it was Xu Tian's decision and wisdom that saved them all.

The cold wind whistled around, and the weather in the suburbs was overcast, as if a torrential rain was brewing.

Under the wary and hostile gazes of Chen Xiaoxiao and the others, Xu Tian walked slowly toward the car where Tang Bingyan was.

And the team members beside him, without receiving his clear instructions, also dutifully played the role of Shadow members, surrounding Chen Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Bastards, what are you doing?!"

Chen Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank sharply, and she wanted to pounce over to stop them nervously, but was blocked by a "Shadow member."

"Let go of me, you bastards! If you have the ability, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

Chen Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, but no one paid any attention to her.

The team members were the strongest among the Tang family bodyguards, and the remaining bodyguards were no match for them.

Now that Chen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Can were both seriously injured, there was no one left who could contend with Bai Lu and his subordinates, and soon they were all subdued.

Xu Tian didn't waste time and, together with the team members, transferred everyone to a place that could be defended and attacked.

After confirming that the people from Tattoo would not appear again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly toward Tang Bingyan's car.

Bai Lu was still in character and opened the car door for Xu Tian.

Xu Tian felt a pain in his heart when he saw the woman lying in the car with a face as pale as if it were transparent.

If he hadn't been reborn, if he hadn't realized the importance of Tang Bingyan to him, I'm afraid Tang Bingyan would still have to face Tattoo's pursuit alone at this time.

He regretted that in his previous life, he hadn't been by her side at such a dangerous moment.

Although Tang Bingyan in this life was not as seriously injured as in the previous life, her body was extremely weak due to excessive overdraft, and the situation was still not optimistic.

However, now that the crisis was resolved, as long as Tang Bingyan was sent back to Huaxia for treatment in time, there would be no danger.

As early as when Xu Tian knew that Tang Bingyan had to come to the Lighthouse Country this time, he had silently formulated a plan to escape from Tattoo.

Xu Tian knew that his ability was limited, and the only way to minimize casualties and successfully escape was to impersonate Shadow, which most organizations in the dark forces feared.

Actually, he had no confidence at all in letting him impersonate the Shadow Master based on his memories from his previous life.

The only common sense he knew about acting was what he learned while supervising Murong Xue's acting class; he had no other experience at all.

However, when he put on that set of clothes and stood in front of Du Yan Jack and the others, he didn't feel nervous or flustered, but instead was at ease, and the effect presented was even better than expected.

After scaring Du Yan Jack and the others away, Xu Tian discovered that he actually had some talent in acting.

Tang Bingyan, lying in the car, had her eyes closed tightly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she were very uncomfortable.

Even in a luxury car, the space inside was limited after all.

Xu Tian reached out to pick up Tang Bingyan to change to a more comfortable position; just before he touched Tang Bingyan, he heard Chen Xiaoxiao's angry roar.

"Take your dirty hands away! I won't let you touch the eldest young lady!"

Xu Tian paused, turned to look at Chen Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were red, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his lips.

Then, under her gaze as if she wanted to kill someone, he picked up Tang Bingyan.

"You lecher, I'll fight you to the death!"

Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly erupted and actually pounced over as if she didn't want to live.

Unfortunately, before she could rush to Xu Tian, she was blocked by Bai Lu, making her unable to advance any further.

Xu Tian calmly carried Tang Bingyan into the car, let her lie on his lap, and then deliberately kissed the lips of the person in his arms in front of Chen Xiaoxiao.
