Chapter 97

Every week, I randomly choose a new profession.

Thanks to the D-class combat skills, Lin Yi's combat power greatly increased after obtaining the dagger. In contrast, Haili's proficiency with the scalpel was not on the same level as Lin Yi's.

Each of their clashes was a matter of life and death.

The clashing sounds of metal filled the large room.

Lin Yi had a wound on his chest, so he took the initiative to target his opponent's lower body, expanding his own advantage.

However, Haili, who had reached B-class, was far more ferocious than anyone Lin Yi had encountered before.

She even showed signs of overwhelming Lin Yi.

On the other hand, Lin Yi remained calm and did not panic.

Seeing Haili charge over, he did not meet her with the dagger. Instead, he sidestepped, grabbed her arm, and used the principle of avoiding the solid and seeking the void from Tai Chi, neutralizing all the force in her arm.

Then, he delivered an elbow strike to her chest.

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Haili stumbled back several steps.

At the same time, before she could react, Lin Yi threw the dagger straight at her vital point!

In a panic, Haili performed a side roll, narrowly avoiding the flying dagger!

But just as she thought she had dodged the attack and could counter-kill him, she suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of her, her heart leaping to her throat!

She saw Lin Yi flash in front of her!

The panic on her face was impossible to hide. At that moment, she was completely disoriented, and for a moment, her mind went blank!

She had no idea how to deal with the situation in front of her!

Lin Yi did not give her the chance to think.

He kicked out with his leg, pouring all his strength into her face.

Haili was kicked flying and crashed into the wall behind her.

Although she had reached B-class, her physical condition was not as good as Lin Yi's.

She could no longer stand up!

To be on the safe side, Lin Yi grabbed her arms and twisted them backward, completely disabling her hands!

But Lin Yi did not stop there. He turned around and rushed to Evans, breaking his right hand.

This way, the two of them would not have the strength to activate the self-destruct bombs on their hands.

In the spacious room, only Haili's screams remained. She was drenched in cold sweat, her eyes wide open.

She could not accept that the two of them were not a match for him alone!

Lin Yi stood there, panting heavily.

Although he had won the battle, it was a narrow victory, largely due to luck.

If there had been the slightest problem at any point, the one lying on the ground could have been him.

"This farce should end here. You dared to target my wife; I will settle this score with you."

Click—

At that moment, the sound of the door opening was heard.

Lin Yi's nerves tightened, and his gaze fixed on the door.

He was very clear about his current situation; he was already exhausted after dealing with the two of them.

If more people from the Freemasons came, as long as they were not very weak, they would be able to handle him.

Moreover, their subordinates would not come unarmed; they would certainly have guns, which was not good news for him.

The door to the room opened, and more than ten people walked in.

The leader was an old man with white hair, his face full of wrinkles and age spots, every cell in his body exuding malice and coldness.

This person was the Deputy Grand Master of the Freemasons, a true authority figure.

Connelly!

Standing behind Connelly were four middle-aged men, all around forty years old, and all men, their eyes cold and slightly surprised.

These four men, like Evans, were also the Freemasons' Chief Guards!

In other words, the Freemasons had dispatched one Deputy Grand Master and six Chief Guards for this operation!

It was a significant move.

Behind the four men were a few others who looked more ordinary, including the two who had brought him here.

Seeing Evans and Haili lying on the ground, Connelly's sinister expression did not change.

"Truly worthy of being a meritorious group leader of the Central Guard Regiment. Our two Chief Guards were defeated by you. After so many years, Lu Beichen has finally trained a qualified subordinate."

Lin Yi's brows furrowed. "You actually know him."

"An old friend, but it's been many years since we last met. Seeing you now, I still miss him a bit."

Lin Yi's expression was particularly serious. He knew very well that the people in front of him were not someone he could handle.

He just didn't expect the Freemasons to send so many people.

It seemed that the ancient document was even more important than he had imagined.

The only hope now was for Xiao Bing to arrive with reinforcements quickly.

"If you have that thought, I can take you to see him and let you catch up."

Connelly shook his head with a smile. "This is China, how dare I see him? We came here just to retrieve that item. I hope you will cooperate."

Lin Yi smiled and glanced at Evans and Haili.

"There is no room for negotiation. Otherwise, they wouldn't be lying there."

"Why go to such lengths? No matter what, I can't let you go back. If you are taken away by us, your situation will not be as calm as it is now," Connelly said.

"After all, you have a family to take care of and an unborn child to raise. Are you willing to give up your family and life for the Central Guard Regiment?"

Lin Yi took a few steps diagonally forward and picked up the dagger from the ground.

"Though it's true that a man should not act for his own benefit, one must have some faith in life. Even if I die today, I will take a few of you with me."

Lin Yi gripped the dagger tightly, his deep gaze like a cobra in the desert.

"Also, you should be clear that if I die here, the Freemasons will not fare well either. One by one, you will not live to see next Christmas. So I'm giving you this warning: there's no need to risk your lives for the Freemasons."

"Ha ha..."

Connelly laughed coldly. "I know you have an important position in the Central Guard Regiment, but I don't believe China would start a war for you. Don't underestimate our influence in both business and politics."

With that, Connelly waved his hand.

"I think he won't cooperate with us. Take him away first."

"Yes!"

The four Chief Guards responded and rushed out from behind Connelly, preparing to move against Lin Yi.

But at that moment, a low, deep voice sounded at the door.

"Before I die, you dare to touch my son? The Freemasons really have some nerve!"
