"I went to the front desk to get the key, but they refused to give it to me. So I dragged the front desk person all the way to their room door," Lin Chun said, his body trembling slightly. It was clear he was still deeply agitated.
"When I opened the door, that dog couple was already enjoying themselves in bed," Lin Chun said with a laugh, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face. "They were stunned when they saw me and desperately tried to deny knowing me."
"But I knew them! I'd recognize them even if they turned to ashes!" Lin Chun said with a deep voice. "My anger had reached its peak, so I asked them why!"
"That bastard doctor tried to argue, but after I beat him severely, he became honest," Lin Chun continued. "Then I told them everything, word for word, including how they got together, how they planned to scam my money, and what reasons they used to make me believe them..."
Hearing this, my expression also turned grim. Anyone in such a situation would find it hard to quell their rage.
"What happened next?" Luo Yaqin seemed captivated by the story, her gaze fixed on Lin Chun.
"What happened next? It was simple..." Lin Chun began. "At that point, I had made up my mind. So, I pinned that scumbag man to the ground and used a hotel chair to break all his limbs..."
"Then, I stomped on his manhood, crushing it completely, ensuring he had no chance of fighting back, before I stopped. Of course, I let him live," Lin Chun said, his face devoid of the joy of revenge, replaced by profound sadness.
"And the woman?" I asked.
"I disfigured her, broke one arm and one leg. I severed their hand and leg tendons, ensuring they could never be healed," Lin Chun said slowly.
"The front desk girl had already called the police. By the time I finished, I heard sirens. At that moment, I suddenly wanted to live. I wanted to see with my own eyes how miserable that dog couple would become!"
"So I ran," Lin Chun leaned back, making himself more comfortable. "I used the little money I had to pull some strings, then illegally crossed the border. After a series of messy events, I became a mercenary..."
Hearing this, I essentially understood the whole situation.
"Originally, I didn't want to come. But I figured having a job to do was a good thing, so I came along. After all, the payment they offered was quite high," Lin Chun said with a smile, then looked at me. "Do you know what price they offered?"
"What was it?" I was suddenly curious about this.
"As long as they could bring you back alive, every participant would receive a bonus of ten million. If the job went particularly smoothly, they'd give an additional ten million," Lin Chun stated. "You can imagine how substantial their means are!"
"Are you sure you don't know who hired you?" I asked.
"We genuinely don't know. When we take jobs, there are some hidden intelligence networks. The reason I received this invitation was because my superiors told me to go," Lin Chun continued.
I nodded, not saying much more.
But I already had a guess in my mind.
So many people involved, the final cost would not be a small sum.
Given the current situation, the only person who wants me alive and back the most is Vici.
It seems Vici's financial capacity is far greater than I imagined.
Even under these circumstances, he can still come up with so much money.
Of course, there are two possibilities here. The first is that he genuinely has that much money, or has some original accumulation, and this original accumulation would be a terrifyingly large number.
As for the second possibility, it's that this guy has no money at all, and intends to get me, acquire the Tree of Life, and then renege on the deal.
And I have a feeling that Vici has also cultivated the Shepherd God Technique. Even if he hasn't, just with half a Tree of Life, his overall strength would be greatly enhanced.
Possessing very powerful combat ability, this alone already far surpasses ordinary people.
However, in the current situation, neither I nor Vici have obtained the complete entity.
After all, without the complete Tree of Life, it means not obtaining the complete Shepherd God's power.
"So you must be extremely careful," Lin Chun smiled. "The person who wants to capture you has sufficient influence and background, as well as a lot of money..."
"In today's society, as long as you have money, you can achieve many things..."
"People will sell their lives for him, and people will come looking for you, regardless of the cost!"
