Chapter 876 - Not Close Enough (1/2)

Jia Lin could not move a muscle as he stared with slightly widened eyes at Lin Hui. His expression held a mixture of shock and slight nervousness.

He had heard the commotion from inside Red Moon and came out to check it out. After all, it was his duty to scare away any uninvited guests lurking outside their territory.

Never did he think he would be at gunpoint. However, what shocked him the most was that this person knew him.

His eyes gradually move from Lin Hui to the muzzle, inches away from his forehead. He swallows a hard gulp. He had forgotten to bring any weapon with him.

He looks back at Lin Hui and tries to maintain a calm composure. He needed to make it look like he wasn't afraid of the gun that could kill him at any given moment.

”Who are you?”

He could partially see Lin Hui's face due to the helmet but not enough to recognize the person. However, he acknowledges the dangerous glow within Lin Hui's eyes.

”This is Red Moon. If you don't have any business here, I suggest you leave.”

Lin Hui did quiver at the intimidating words thrown at him. He had heard plenty of things about Jia Lin and what he was capable of doing.

It was said that Jia Lin was once the strongest fighter in the underworld arena.

But that was until Liu Shan appeared.

”I do have business here.”

His eyes leisurely blink, and he moves his foot from Liu Peng, but he doesn't forget to kick the man before putting his foot down.

”With him.”

Jia Lin's eyebrows creased, and he looks down at Liu Peng. He quickly recognized the man as one of the people who owe his boss money.

”What business do you have with him?”

His eyes shifted to Lin Hui, but a chill ran down his spine when he made direct eye contact again. He didn't know why but his guts told him not to make any careless move.

Lin Hui smiles from behind his helmet at the bulky man's words. He shrugged one shoulder and turned nonchalant for a split second.

”I mean, we're not close enough to ask about each other's businesses. So why should I tell you?”

Hearing this, Jia Lin felt irritation crawl all over his body. He scoffs a sarcastic laugh and sneers at one side of his mouth.

”That attitude of yours will get you killed here. Don't be reckless. Once you shoot, every member of Red Moon will be at your neck in seconds.”

Lin Hui made a long pause with one eyebrow arched. His silence was as if he was considering Jia Lin's words.

He was alone and standing in front of Red Moon. It was a reckless thing to do, and he would be outnumbered if the people inside the building came out.

However, both corners of his mouth curl up into a smile.

”Sorry to disappoint you, but Reckless is my middle name.”

He moves the gun and aims at Liu Peng. Eyes locked with Jia Lin, he pulls the trigger.

* Bang-!

”Arrrrghhh-!!!”

The loud ringing of gunshot resonates throughout the sky, followed by Liu Peng's pierce-shrieking cry of pain. All the colors on his face turned white as veins formed on his forehead.

He rolls side to side on the ground with his left knee bent up. Both his hands grasped tightly onto his wound as blood spilled.

”Ahh!! You shot my leg! Ahh!!”

Jia Lin was in disbelief at what had happened. He stumbles a step back and stares down at Liu Peng.

He thought Lin Hui would heed his threatening words and leave. However, his words went in one word and out the other.

*click

Before his thoughts could travel further, a familiar click sounds next to his ear. He was quickly brought to his senses, and without turning his head, his eyes slowly looked at the source.

He could see a perfect view of the muzzle that was now aimed at his temple.

Sweat gradually forms on his forehead, and he swallows a gulp with difficulty.

”Y-you... you w-won't get away with this.”

His fists clenched tightly at his sides, with his nails digging into his palm.

”You just alerted every member of Red Moon. They're all going to come out.”

Just as his words fell, the sound of multiple footsteps came from behind. Relief washes inside him, and he sneers sinisterly at Lin Hui.

”See. What did I tell you?”

And it was just as he said.

Coming out of Red Moon were all the members. There was either a gun, a knife, or a baseball bat in their hands. Each person had a hostile expression like they had been woken up from a sound sleep.

”What the hell is going on?”

”Who dares to shoot in front of Red Moon?!”

Jia Lin's sneer widens as the street suddenly becomes crowded by the gang members. He ignores the gun aimed at his temple, and he laughs.

”You should have listened to me. Now you're going to die, kid.”
