For some reason, the air in the room got colder, as if the heater wasn’t on at all.

Lin Tian directly ignored the angry look of the Second Elder, and smiled: "Regret? I don’t see how you, old man, can make me regret anything. You’ve been here long enough, are you staying around for lunch?"

The Second Elder couldn’t even force a smile now, his face red with anger, his expression as if Lin Tian had caused him serious grudge.

"Return the Security Management Institute certificate to me."

"Return it to you? Did I hear wrong?" Lin Tian held the certificate between his middle and index fingers, waved it and said, "Spotting a fake certificate, naturally you destroy it. Return it to you, to let you continue deceiving others?"

"Boy! That certificate is real! I advise you to think twice!" The Second Elder seemed to anticipate what Lin Tian might do, prepared to spring up at any moment.

"If you say it’s real, it’s real? I only believe my eyes; I say it’s fake, then it’s fake!" Lin Tian said arrogantly.

"..." The Second Elder kept silent, there was nothing to say to such a rascal.

Lin Tian directly ignored the expression of the old man and held the certificate with both hands to tear it apart.

"You dare!"

The Second Elder couldn’t hold back anymore; he slammed the table, jumped up, and stepped on the chair, pouncing at Lin Tian like a diving eagle.

Lin Tian naturally wasn’t afraid, lifted his legs, and kicked hard on the table. With the force, the chair slid three meters back. The Second Elder missed his target, standing where Lin Tian previously sat.

Crunch...

At the same time, the certificate split into two.

Lin Tian waved his arm again, and the photo attached to the certificate fell off.

The photo seemed quite dated.

Seeing the photo fall off, the Second Elder’s face turned red and swollen.

That was his photo! It felt like a slap to the face! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Outrageous! Outrageous!"

Muttering ’outrageous’, the Second Elder lunged forward again, both claws extended, aimed directly at Lin Tian.

Scratch, scratch, scratch!

The sound resembled something sharp scraping across glass, extremely irritating.

Lin Tian knew it was actually the sound of the Second Elder’s fingers gliding through the air, likely caused by his Inner Strength resonating with the air.

The sound seemed flashy, but it was unpleasant.

If they were closer, it might be challenging for Lin Tian to dodge, but now as a high-level Martial Artist, such matters were no concern.

The Second Elder’s speed was quick, but pitifully slow in Lin Tian’s eyes.

Lin Tian casually rotated his neck a few times and swiveled the chair, effortlessly dodging all of the Second Elder’s attacks.

"In my bragging words: I never hit children, women, or old men before, but today you’ve truly pushed me!"

With that said, Lin Tian kicked out, hitting the Second Elder squarely in the stomach.

"Ugh..." The Second Elder grunted, his body flying like a broken kite, landing heavily on the conference table, legs splayed like a turtle.

Wang Yi and others were stunned; how could this kid be so powerful? Even the Second Elder wasn’t his match?

"Dammit!" the Second Elder cursed, kicking with both legs, flipping in the air and standing up, signaling others with a glance.

Afterward, the Second Elder stood on the conference table, pointing at Lin Tian, cursing: "You little brat! I was careless earlier, let’s go again!"

As he finished speaking, he bent his knees ready to jump at Lin Tian. At this moment, a middle-aged man who understood the meaning of the Second Elder’s glance stood up and stopped him, shouting, "Elder, don’t be impulsive! We need a long-term plan, there are many ways to deal with him!"

The expression on the Second Elder’s face remained fierce, but he was tightly held and couldn’t break free.

Finally, he feigned compliance with his subordinate, temporarily sparing Lin Tian!

"Kid, you tore the wanted order and the Security Management Institute certificate. I won’t hold it against you now, but within two days, you’ll regret it! The cost will be the rest of your life!"

Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan just watched, not saying much. They both believed that even if Lin Tian committed murder, with Bai Shishi’s influence now, they could easily rescue him, let alone tearing a certificate and wanted order.

After his speech, the Second Elder dramatically swung his hands, placing them behind his waist, and said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Let’s go!"

With those words, the Second Elder picked up the photo of himself from the ground, dusted it off, and walked out without hesitation. The middle-aged man naturally followed closely behind.

The Second Elder left, but the others in the conference room remained seated, silently contemplating this young man.

Wang Yi watched Lin Tian intently. He felt this young man looked familiar, his style, skills, and attitude were remarkably like the Lin Tian from before!

This person before him is indeed Lin Tian!

Wang Yi thought so, observing Lin Tian’s every move meticulously.

"Why haven’t you left?" Mei Ruyan asked the remaining people, quietly.

Honestly, she was very grateful to Lin Tian now, but she never apologized. She could convey her sentiments with just a glance!

After a few seconds of silence, no one spoke. Their peripheral sight occasionally darted towards Lin Tian, like guilty children facing their father.

Unable to bear the suffocating silence, Wang Yi finally spoke: "We are not on the same side as the Second Elder. He’s here for Miss Mei, we’re here for Lin Tian!"

Though he’d guessed the answer, Mei Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at Lin Tian.

"What do you want from him?" Bai Shishi tapped the table lightly, the ’tap tap tap’ adding pressure to the conference room.

"It’s nothing significant, we just want to buy something from him. We’ve heard he had a significant haul from Luoyan Dock this time."

It was a representative from the Yue Family who spoke, half-truth, half-lie, if Bai Shishi didn’t know better, she might have already been deceived.

Mei Ruyan, with a stern face, snapped: "Buy? I see it as daylight robbery!"
