Bang!

Ling Zhenfei's lips curled into a cold, scornful smile as he swung a fierce punch that connected squarely with the neck of the platoon leader.

Whoosh!

The platoon leader didn't even have a chance to scream before his neck was snapped by Ling Zhenfei's punch, sending him flying backward.

Rat-tat-tat!

Seeing this, the four soldiers guarding the entrance were shocked and began firing their triggers wildly, hoping to kill Ling Zhenfei with a hail of bullets.

However, Ling Zhenfei moved like a shadowy apparition, swiftly landing a series of crushing blows that killed all four men.

In an instant, Ling Zhenfei had cleared the inside of the outpost, but it seemed the real danger was just beginning to emerge from the outside.

Thump, thump, thump!

A chaotic and hurried series of footsteps suddenly erupted outside the outpost, clearly indicating that those who had been lying in ambush were now rushing out, tightly encircling the outpost.

"Ling Zhenfei, boy, you are now surrounded by us. If you're smart, come out and face your death!"

A cold shout came from outside, unmistakably the voice of Tan Shaojie.

Ling Zhenfei's feeling was not wrong. When he first saw these sloppy soldiers, he felt uneasy. Combined with the weapons they held and their attitude towards him, Ling Zhenfei immediately realized that these men were all bandits disguised by Tan Shaojie.

As for the real border soldiers, they had likely already been dealt with by their adversaries.

A moment ago, he activated his Clear Vision Perspective Eye and clearly saw Tan Shaojie leading a group of bandits, lying in ambush in the dense forest surrounding the outpost.

They were all dressed in the uniforms of the border soldiers, blending in seamlessly, which was why Ling Zhenfei, even with the use of his Perspective Eye, had not noticed them before.

"Hmph, Tan Shaojie, I had intended to take you back to Binyang to be tried. It seems that is no longer necessary today!"

Although he hadn't found the bodies of the border soldiers, Ling Zhenfei was sure they had been brutally killed by Tan Shaojie.

At that moment, rage surged within him. Gritting his teeth, he started moving forward with heavy steps, pushing the door open...

Outside the outpost, Tan Shaojie was leading an assassin. Each of them wielded an AK47, completely encircling Ling Zhenfei with no way out.

After a failed sneak attack last night, Tan Shaojie realized that killing Ling Zhenfei would not be possible without extreme measures.

He led his men on a relentless chase, determined to kill Ling Zhenfei. As they were about to cross the border, they did not flee but rather launched an attack on the outpost, killing all the border soldiers and then disguising themselves as them.

Tan Shaojie thought this plan would surely kill Ling Zhenfei, but he hadn't anticipated that he still vastly underestimated his opponent.

The strength of Ling Zhenfei was far beyond his imagination; he had seen through his ruse.

Now, with the plan thwarted, the only thing left for Tan Shaojie to do was to engage Ling Zhenfei in a direct confrontation.

He absolutely couldn't believe that Ling Zhenfei could escape, surrounded by so much firepower.

"Kid, I never blink when I kill someone. Especially those who dare to oppose me; I usually make their deaths particularly miserable!"

Holding a submachine gun in his hand and aiming it at Ling Zhenfei, Tan Shaojie sneered coldly, "However, I'm feeling particularly merciful today and am willing to give you the chance to end it yourself. Go ahead and kill yourself!"

"Oh? That's truly the devil's mercy!"

Ling Zhenfei apparently didn't even see the gun in the other's hand, he stared arrogantly at Tan Shaojie with utter contempt, "Don't worry, I won't show you mercy later, I will make you atone for the sins you've committed and turn this forest into your graveyard!"

"The kid is too arrogant!"

When Tan Shaojie said this, he just wanted to show off his power as the stronger party. However, now that Ling Zhenfei had directly retorted, he was instantly infuriated and yelled at his subordinates, "Shoot, riddle this kid with bullets!"

"Stop!"

Just as the assassins were about to shoot Ling Zhenfei, a loud shout suddenly cut through, halting everyone's actions.

Here, Tan Shaojie's orders were absolute. He never expected someone to actually dare to stop him and immediately glared angrily at the person who spoke.

But when he saw that the person stopping him was Kun Ze Haosan, his face instantly looked as if he had swallowed a duck egg whole, as awkward as could be.

"Master Kun Ze..."

Kun Ze Haosan was the overlord of Black Triangle. Though he was old, his prestige remained. No matter how formidable Tan Shaojie was, he was merely one of his underlings, how could he dare to defy Kun Ze's wishes?

"Step back!"

Kun Ze Haosan gave Tan Shaojie a stern glance, rebuked him, and then, aided by two subordinates, walked towards Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei still stood there unmoving, watching expressionlessly as Kun Ze Haosan approached him.

"Young man, I know you're an impressive figure!"

Kun Ze Haosan arrived in front of Ling Zhenfei, sized him up for a moment, and then spoke in not-so-fluent Huaxia, "You surely know of our organization's strength. You are not a police officer, there's no need for you to die for Huaxia police.

"As long as you agree to join us, I assure you of significant responsibilities, and from then on, you'll have everything you ever wanted!"

"Master Kun Ze, this can't be!"

Tan Shaojie was shocked that Kun Ze Haosan would choose such a critical moment to try to recruit Ling Zhenfei and immediately tried to intervene.

The Black Triangle was the global hub for drugs, and Kun Ze Haosan was the biggest drug lord there, with countless capable men under him.

Tan Shaojie had joined Kun Ze years ago and had barely had any opportunities to prove himself. Just when he'd finally performed a significant act, thinking he could gain some respect, if Kun Ze Haosan recruited Ling Zhenfei, Ling would definitely suppress him in the future.

"Presumptuous! Tan Shaojie, you dare to obstruct my decision?"

Just as Tan Shaojie attempted to intervene, Kun Ze Haosan glared fiercely at him again. Tan Shaojie, helpless, had to sulkily step aside.

"Hmph, a drug lord trying to recruit me? Kun Ze Haosan, are you lowering my standards or trying to raise your own intelligence?"

However, Ling Zhenfei outright sneered at Kun Ze Haosan's recruitment attempt and firmly rejected it.

"You…"

Kun Ze Haosan initially wanted to maintain some pretense of magnanimity and forgiveness, but Ling Zhenfei's simple retort shattered his façade. He became furiously embarrassed, and his old face turned completely dark.

Tan Shaojie, having been reprimanded by Kun Ze Haosan just earlier and harboring resentment, saw Kun Ze Haosan's deflated expression and felt a surge of satisfaction, cursing inwardly, "Old codger, how can you pretend now? You had your chance to keep your dignity, and now you've eaten shit, happy now?"
