Chapter 274: Ah Xuan’s in Trouble
“Hmph, you’re pretty bold for someone about to get crushed.”
Wang Ba’s eyes gleamed with admiration for Lin Xuan.
If it weren’t for maintaining the gang’s perfect record of completing Black Web tasks, he’d have let Lin Xuan off easily.
Suddenly, two towering men with menacing faces entered the hall.
“Boss,” they said respectfully.
“Take him down,” Wang Ba ordered.
“Yes sir.”
They moved toward Lin Xuan.
Wang Ba sneered coldly, “These are our strongest fighters. You’ll never stand a chance against them. Beg now and you might still walk away.”
“You talk too much.” Lin Xuan was getting impatient.
He had plans to go back to Hua Bao.
Wang Ba glared.
As the notorious leader of the Black Tiger Gang, only the Night Rose dared to ignore him. If word got out, his reputation would be ruined.
“Go!” Wang Ba snapped coldly, “Take him down. This time, I’ll personally torture him. He thinks he can disrespect me?”
Wang Ba planned to teach this naive college student a lesson about humility.
But once again, his plan failed miserably.
Right before his eyes, Lin Xuan took down those two bodyguards in just three moves. They fell to the ground groaning.
“What…what…what…”
Wang Ba stared wide-eyed at Lin Xuan in disbelief. His two subordinates were renowned martial artists in the underground world, yet together they were defeated by Lin Xuan in mere seconds…
Lin Xuan’s strength was even greater than he imagined…
Cheng Er struggled to his feet, “Boss, we weren’t lying. Brother Lin is truly incredible.”
One subordinate, eager to gain favor after seeing Lin Xuan’s victory, pulled out a gun and fired. The bullets whizzed through the air with loud bangs.
Lin Xuan had already anticipated the move. Before the man could fire, he summoned gloves from his spatial ring and put them on.
The bullets were effortlessly caught between his fingers.
“Amazing,” Wang Ba couldn’t help but stand up from his seat.
This marksman was their best shooter, almost always hitting his mark, yet he posed no threat to Lin Xuan whatsoever.
Lin Xuan wasn’t done. In an instant, he appeared before the marksman and twisted his arm sharply.
“Aaaahh!”
The marksman screamed in agony.
“Don’t worry,” Lin Xuan smiled faintly, “I won’t harm you. I just want your gun.”
Lin Xuan seized the gun and pointed it directly at Wang Ba. As he pulled the trigger, all the subordinates shouted anxiously, “Boss!”
With a “Bang!”, a bullet shot through the air.
Wang Ba sat there motionless as the bullet grazed past his ear and pierced the eye of the Black Tiger emblem behind him.
“It hit the tiger’s eye?” someone exclaimed.
The eye was barely the size of a soybean, yet Lin Xuan managed to hit it from such a distance?
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba turned around and indeed saw a hole where the tiger’s eye used to be.
Stunned, Wang Ba looked at Lin Xuan. This wasn’t luck; Lin Xuan clearly possessed such skill.
Not only was his martial arts exceptional, but his marksmanship was equally precise…
Such a person truly deserved to be the boss.
But the Black Tiger Gang was his life’s work, how could he hand it over to anyone else?
“I admit, you’re skilled,” Wang Ba openly expressed his admiration.
“But the Black Tiger Gang will never be yours.”
“You can leave this villa unharmed, and we won’t pursue you.”
Lin Xuan smiled faintly, “Since I’ve come, I’m not leaving empty-handed.”
“If you won’t give up willingly, then I’ll use force.”
In a flash, Lin Xuan appeared beside Wang Ba. Before anyone could react, with a “Crack”, he dislocated Wang Ba’s jaw.
Wang Ba: “???!!!”
Lin Xuan shoved some medicine into his mouth, poured water, and made him swallow.
With another “Crack”, he reset the jaw.
“What did you make me eat?” Wang Ba frowned.
“A poison that causes no harm if the antidote is taken on time. Without it, you’ll die bleeding from seven orifices.”
He learned to make these poisons specifically for the underground world.
“So, you have two choices: die, or become my subordinate.”
Lin Xuan stood casually with one hand in his pocket, looking utterly cool.
And he had every right to be.
“Of course, if you stubbornly refuse the antidote, I’ll still become the boss of the Black Tiger Gang. So while it seems like two options, you really only have one.”
Wang Ba felt utterly defeated.
Damn it!
He thought eight million yuan would easily deal with Lin Xuan, but instead, he ended up with a nightmare.
It was over.
He was about to become someone’s subordinate.
Resigned, Wang Ba knelt before Lin Xuan with clasped hands, “Boss, please accept my allegiance.”
The rest of the gang followed suit, shouting loudly, “Boss!”
Lin Xuan smiled, “Get up.”
“Yes.”
They all stood up.
Wang Ba looked up at the sky.
Wasn’t this it? Letting a fourth-year college student become the boss of the Black Tiger Gang would severely damage his reputation in the underworld.
Lin Xuan patted Wang Ba’s shoulder and smiled, “Don’t worry, I rarely come to the Black Tiger Gang. When I don’t, you’ll still be the undisputed leader here.”
“The Black Tiger Gang will still be under your management, but you need to follow my development plans.”
Wang Ba’s eyes lit up. That sounded good.
“Oh, and the Black Tiger Gang should change its name. How about Golden Dragon Gang?” Lin Xuan suggested.
Though he wasn’t great at naming things, he thought Golden Dragon Gang sounded more imposing.

Su Hua finished work an hour early and returned to the Night Garden, but didn’t see Lin Xuan’s figure.
Frowning, she asked, “Butler Wang, where’s Ah Xuan?”
“Master Lin? He left with lunch looking for you and hasn’t returned,” the butler replied.
“Not back yet?” Su Hua murmured.
Su Hua took out her phone and called Lin Xuan.
The mechanical female voice replied coldly, “Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.”
Su Hua frowned.
Although Ah Xuan had informed her he had matters to handle, her heart felt uneasy, sensing something was about to happen.
This was the first time since they became a couple that she couldn’t reach him.
She tried contacting the bodyguards protecting Lin Xuan.
The phone rang continuously without being answered.
“Something’s wrong,” Su Hua’s face paled, “Something must have happened.”
The bodyguards’ phones should have been on and with them at all times.
Why weren’t the two close-protection guards answering?
Su Hua quickly opened her phone. She had installed some tracking software on Lin Xuan’s phone, allowing her to track his location anytime.
She opened the app.
“Ah Xuan!”
Seeing what was on the screen, her face went completely white, and her hands began shaking uncontrollably.
