THUD, THUD, THUD... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In the dimly lit underground parking garage, the only sounds were the occasional car driving toward the exit and a set of light, steady footsteps.

When Lin Li reached the lowest level of the parking garage, the three tall men trailing him from a distance noticed the lack of security cameras. They knew their chance had come. Immediately, they quickened their pace and charged toward him.

’Heh, these guys finally can’t resist making their move.’ Hearing the hurried footsteps approaching from behind, Lin Li thought to himself. He then stopped and turned to look.

The bald man with the thick gold chain and his two cronies saw that Lin Li hadn’t tried to run. Instead, he’d stopped and turned to face them.

His unexpected reaction made the three men subconsciously slow down, coming to a stop about three meters in front of him.

"You’ve been following me for a while. What do you want? Trying to rob me?" Lin Li asked, getting straight to the point.

The bald man with the gold chain gave his two cronies a look. They took the hint and nodded, quickly circling around to flank Lin Li from the left and right.

Just like that, the bald man and his two cronies surrounded Lin Li from three sides, cutting off any path of escape.

Lin Li glanced at the man with the dragon tattoo on his left arm and the man with the tiger tattoo on his right. Seeing the malicious, arrogant smirks on their faces, he muttered to himself.

’Tsk, these three work pretty well together. Looks like this isn’t their first time doing something like this...’

The bald man with the gold chain looked at the surrounded Lin Li and chuckled. "What are we doing? Why don’t you take a guess why the three of us tracked you down?"

"Just spit it out. I don’t have time to play games with you," Lin Li shot back at the bald man, who wore the expression of someone completely sure of his victory.

"Do you have a fucking clue what situation you’re in? You dare talk to our boss like that? You looking to die?"

The hot-tempered man with the tiger tattoo on his right arm grew angry seeing how unflustered and nonchalant Lin Li was.

After all, whenever they’d done this to people in the past, their victims would be trembling in fear, groveling and begging for mercy.

Seeing Lin Li so calm and collected—such a stark contrast—really pissed him off.

The bald man with the gold chain shot a look at the man with the dragon tattoo, who then sneered at Lin Li.

"Kid, back at the arcade, thanks to your little stunt, one of our boys was arrested by an Investigator...

We’re here now to have a nice, long talk with you about it."

"So that’s it. I was wondering. I don’t even know you, yet you’ve been skulking after me this whole time. Turns out you’re his buddies... here to get revenge for him."

After hearing what the man with the dragon tattoo said, a look of realization dawned on Lin Li’s face. Now he finally understood why these three were after him.

"Kid, because of you, our brother was arrested by Investigators from the Superpower Administration Bureau. He’s going to be in jail for at least one or two years...

Now, I’m giving you two choices. The first is to get on your knees, apologize, and pay us one hundred thousand.

The second is we break the leg you used to kick our brother, and then you pay us one hundred thousand," the bald man with the gold chain said sinisterly, a vicious glint in his eyes that was quite terrifying.

"So, I have to pay you a hundred thousand either way. It looks like you’re just trying to force me to get on my knees and apologize," Lin Li said with a laugh after hearing the bald man’s two options.

"What the hell are you laughing at! Hurry up and choose!" the hot-tempered man with the tiger tattoo cursed, seeing Lin Li was still completely unfazed.

He couldn’t stand it when people acted so composed; he loved beating people like that.

"I choose the second one..."

"Alright, since you picked the first option, get on your knees and apologize right now... Huh? What did you say? You chose the second one?!!"

The hot-tempered man with the tiger tattoo had heard Lin Li and subconsciously assumed he’d chosen the first option.

He was halfway through his sentence before he processed it, then he stared at Lin Li like he was an idiot.

"Are you insane? Wouldn’t any normal person choose the first option?"

The man with the dragon tattoo chimed in from the side, "Kid, we’ll give you one more chance. Think carefully. Kneeling down to apologize, or getting one of your legs crippled. Which one is better for you?"

"I choose the second one," Lin Li said with a smile, his decision unchanged. "I know you want me to pick the first one, but I’m deliberately choosing the second."

"..." The men with the dragon and tiger tattoos fell silent. They both thought there was something wrong with this guy’s head.

"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the bald man with the gold chain burst out laughing. When his laughter stopped, the smile vanished completely from his face. He stared coldly at Lin Li and said,

"Very good. It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone with your kind of balls.
