During these days of practicing sword techniques, Lufan would casually create some traces while hunting elemental beasts to mislead the bandits. By now, they must be going crazy.
Back when Lufan broke through with his Iron Cloth technique, he already had the ability to deal with those bandits. However, since practicing sword techniques was a priority, he had held off on taking action. Now that his training has reached a certain point, it was time to deal with them.
After packing up his things without any lingering attachments or delays, Lufan headed down the mountain.
This time, he did not deliberately hide his tracks, intending to lure the bandits over. However, after waiting for most of the day, he found no one approaching.
Could it be that the bandits have already left? Lufan felt puzzled.
But that seemed unlikely. He knew very well how much that crazy woman hated him, and the other bandits were also coveting his Secret Technique. They shouldn't give up so easily.
Since they weren't coming to him, Lufan decided to take the initiative and look for them. This group of bandits acted recklessly, so it shouldn't be difficult to find their traces.
Sure enough, not long after, Lufan discovered many fresh footprints. Following the broken grass and branches, he made his way toward a valley.
At that moment, a conflict was unfolding in the valley.
The daughter of the Black-hearted Tiger was tied to a tree, cursing loudly as the ropes dug painfully into her flesh, accentuating her curvaceous figure.
"What do you want? Do you want to die? How dare you tie me up!"
She never expected that her usually timid subordinates would be so bold as to suddenly subdue her and tie her to this tree.
A few bandits led by a scar-faced man were sneering at her: "Want to die? With you, this bitch?"
The beautiful woman was furious: "Scarface, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Scarface found this crazy woman utterly unreasonable: "We've tied you up; what else is there to be afraid of saying? With that brain of yours, if it weren't for the chief protecting you all these years, who knows how many times you'd have been taken advantage of!"
The woman's expression changed dramatically. "Aren't you afraid of my father?"
"That's quite rare," Scarface replied sarcastically. "This is the first time you've called Big Boss 'father,' but unfortunately, he can no longer hear you."
"What do you mean?" She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What I mean is that your father, who protected you all your life, is dead. No matter how many times you call him 'father,' he will never hear you again!"
"You’re talking nonsense! How could he be dead? With his strength, who around here could possibly be his opponent?" The woman refused to believe it.
"Believe it or not, this news just came from Raven. They even found Big Boss's body."
The woman immediately fixed her gaze on another man dressed in black. "Raven, is this true?"
Raven felt a chill run down his spine under her intense stare. This woman had a formidable reputation and was known for her crazed and twisted nature. Even though she was currently subdued, he still felt a sense of dread.
"It’s true. Due to Big Boss's prolonged absence and the visit of a Valued Guest, Second-in-Command sent some brothers to search everywhere. They unexpectedly discovered a corpse near a cave—it was Big Boss."
"How could this happen?" The woman seemed struck by lightning, muttering to herself.
She never imagined that the mountain of a man would die just like that. Despite her deep-seated hatred for him, he was still her father, and the blow to her heart was unimaginable.
"Who did this?!" Suddenly, she remembered something and asked sharply.
"I don't know. It's been so long that the enemy has long since vanished. Although we found some traces, they were of no use," Raven shook his head.
"Since my father is dead, why aren't you looking for the murderer to avenge him? Instead, you tie me up here—what does that mean? He treated you as brothers all this time, and this is how you treat his Daughter?" The woman questioned the people in front of her.
"What a joke! The one who could kill Big Boss is someone we can provoke? If he's dead, he's dead. Just following his orders was already enough; do you expect us to risk our lives for him too?" another Robber shouted.
"You!" The woman was furious. Although she knew these people had no sense of loyalty, she never expected them to turn against her so quickly. As soon as they learned this news, they immediately denied her existence.
Thinking about how they would deal with her next, fear gripped her heart, and she began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the ropes binding her.
However, the ropes were made from the long tendons of a Primordial Beast, extremely tough and skillfully tied. The pressure points were placed on joints that were difficult to exert force on, making it impossible for her to escape in a short time.
In fact, her twisting movements only made certain parts of her body more alluring, igniting a fire in the hearts of the few men across from her.
One of the Robbers said to Scarface, "Boss, this woman may be a bit crazy, but her figure is really hot. Why don't we have some fun with her?"
Upon hearing this, the woman became even more anxious and struggled even harder.
Scarface swallowed hard; however, he still retained some rationality and scolded, "Are you crazy? This woman is wanted by the Eldest Son himself. If you dare to touch her, do you want to die even faster?"
Hearing the name Eldest Son made the Robber's face change; he didn't dare to speak again.
"What did you say? The Eldest Son is coming?" The woman's face turned pale as she stopped struggling, filled with fear.
"Yes, this time a Valued Guest is arriving, and the Eldest Son personally came to the village to welcome him and specifically requested you to accompany him," Scarface said with a hint of pity. It was truly unfortunate for this woman to be targeted by the Eldest Son again; however, that was none of his concern—he just needed to complete his mission.
Upon hearing this confirmation, the woman trembled uncontrollably as if she had heard something extremely terrifying. At the same time, her face was filled with an unshakeable hatred; she didn’t know what the Eldest Son had done to her.
Seeing that she had stopped struggling, the men prepared to take her back to the village.
Suddenly, she shouted, "No! You can't take me to see him! Please let me go!"
However, the men paid no attention. Seeing this, the woman hardened her expression and shouted loudly, "If you insist on taking me back, I will expose everything to that man. Over the years, you have secretly intercepted many things. At that time, you will all die without a burial place!"
The expressions of the men changed drastically. If the Eldest Son found out that they had been embezzling things privately, their fate would be utterly miserable. Instantly, their gazes toward the woman were filled with murderous intent.
"Head, what should we do?" The earlier Robber looked at Scarface.
Scarface's expression changed several times before he made up his mind: "This woman is insane; she might actually say that. Let's kill her and then go back claiming she was ambushed by that kid earlier."
The Robber's eyes lit up immediately: "So what about before we kill her?"
Scarface glanced at his expression and understood his meaning: "Before we kill her, of course, we can do whatever we want. To be honest, I've wanted to taste her for a long time."
Upon hearing this, the others all showed a wicked glint in their eyes as they looked at the woman.
The woman had naturally heard the conversation between the two. She never expected that her moment of desperation would bring about her own death, and that she would be humiliated before dying. In despair, she began to curse loudly, her words filled with venom and hatred.
However, her outburst only fueled the desires of the few men further, and they all began to close in on her.
"Stop shouting. Back in the day, you cruelly made the woman from that Couple serve my brothers. Now it's your turn for retribution. We can take revenge for her, and in the end, everything will be pinned on that kid," the first Robber shamelessly said.
The woman cursed even more fiercely. Just as a few of them were about to touch her, a lazy voice rang out.
"I can't just pretend I didn't hear that. I didn't expect to see such an exciting show right after arriving, but I don't want to be the scapegoat here."
"Who!" The several Robbers exclaimed in shock and quickly turned around to question.
They saw a young man wearing somewhat worn-out black leather armor, with a dagger at his waist, walking out lazily. However, his gaze was extremely cold.
