Lin Xiao reached the elevator entrance just as the people below rushed to catch up. As a group of five emerged from the elevator, their expressions were ferocious. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, they almost lunged at him.
But a single glance was enough.
Lin Xiao cast them a look.
The five individuals froze as if petrified.
It wasn't that they didn't want to move, but they dared not. They felt as if they were facing not a person, but a demon from hell. In just a second, Lin Xiao entered the elevator, leaving them with a playful smile on his face.
Only after the elevator doors closed could the five men move again. In less than ten seconds, they realized they were drenched.
Sweat covered their entire bodies.
"Go... hurry and see!" the one who appeared to be the team leader among the five urged.
The five of them then hastily rushed towards the presidential suite where Lin Xiao had been.
Upon opening the door, they found Nangong Kun lying unconscious on the floor, his body still twitching involuntarily. The bedsheets were stained red, and his limbs were positioned at an incredibly grotesque angle, with all his fingers completely bent backward.
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
The five dared not touch the body on the ground. The bravest among them cautiously approached to check his breathing.
"He's still breathing..."
The five breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Was that Lin Xiao really that terrifying? Brother Kun ended up... like this..."
"Yeah... did you guys feel it when he walked past? My god, I thought I was going to wet myself."
"Don't talk about yourself, I almost called for my mom!"
"I..."
With a thud.
The person who was about to speak collapsed straight onto the ground.
"You! What..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other four also fell to the floor, their eyes rolled back, blood trickling from their seven facial orifices.
Nangong Kun was covered in a potent poison; anyone else who touched him would surely die.
...
Lin Xiao left the hotel, washing his hands along the way. Everyone, from the front desk staff to the security guards, eyed him warily. Yet, no matter who it was, they could only watch him leave.
Obstruction?
No one dared.
Before he could even exit the hotel, the security guard at the entrance received a call. His expression shifted, and he attempted to stop Lin Xiao.
As his hand extended, he felt a sharp sting and instinctively retracted it.
In that brief moment, Lin Xiao had already vanished before his eyes.
...
"Who!"
Nangong Wushuang summoned everyone to the conference room. Her gaze was piercingly sharp. "Who exactly sent Nangong Kun there!"
"This..."
Everyone exchanged glances, perplexed. Only the Second Elder's expression was uneasy.
"Second Elder!"
Nangong Wushuang called out coldly. "As one of the elders of my Nangong family, you know that your every action and word affects the Nangong family!"
"Homeowner, I know."
The Second Elder quickly replied.
"Good, you know."
Nangong Wushuang's chest rose and fell as she continued, "Then do you know who the head of the Nangong family is?"
"It's... you."
The Second Elder lowered his head. Despite his reluctance, he answered. When facing Nangong Wushuang, he felt more like a junior.
