Not long after, Roxy received the message that the car sent to pick her up had arrived. After exchanging glances, the three of them took two separate elevators down. Roxy immediately got into the car that Yuan Shijie had sent for her, while Xin Yi and Lijie got into a car that Xin Yi had just rented over the phone.
Roxy's car was in front, with Xin Yi driving behind. While they were in the city, the two cars were not far apart. During the drive, Xin Yi made another phone call. Gradually, they drove out of the city, heading towards the villa on the mountain where Xin Yi had been before. He was familiar with that place, and if it was indeed that location, there shouldn't be many members of the Black K Party present, which was a good thing for him; after all, no one wanted to engage in a full-scale battle.
As they drove up Mountain Road, Xin Yi turned off the headlights due to the moonlight and proceeded slowly. Since he knew their destination, it was crucial to avoid exposing their target. When Xin Yi's car reached the vicinity where he had parked last time, Roxy had already been inside for over ten minutes. Xin Yi and Lijie got out of the car and followed the same path up the mountain. As they approached the villa, they stopped to observe the situation. The entire villa was brightly lit, and the main door was wide open; however, there were no signs of patrols or guards, not even a shadow of the sniper Xin Yi had seen last time.
This situation was very unusual. Kobe Bryant's father was here, and Roxy, who had not been in contact with him for a long time, suddenly returned. Logically, there should be strict security measures in place; so why was there no activity at all? Xin Yi instinctively sensed that this might be a trap.
Lijie also realized something was off and asked Xin Yi, "What should we do? Should we go in or not?"
Xin Yi gritted his teeth and said, "We go in! Even if it's a den of tigers and dragons, we have to take a chance! Besides, Roxy is inside; we can't just leave her behind. Let's go!"
After saying this, Xin Yi stood up from behind some bushes. After exchanging a glance with Lijie, they split up and quickly approached the villa from both sides. Strangely enough, everything went smoothly; they soon neared the villa. Xin Yi peeked through a window into the hall and saw several people inside. At the head of them sat an elderly man with silver hair who was talking to Roxy on the sofa with a kind expression. This must be Kobe Bryant's father, Yuan Shijie. Next to him sat another slightly thinner but vigorous old man, followed by Kobe Bryant and his son Little Kobe.
The founder and current leader of the Black K Party were actually here without even a single bodyguard nearby; this scene was incredibly bizarre. Was his luck really this good? Xin Yi could hardly believe it. However, since he was already there, whether or not it seemed strange didn't matter; action was necessary. Unfortunately, he hadn't brought a gun because he had to take a flight; otherwise, he could have shot directly from outside the window. It was impossible to throw flying knives through glass as well. So Xin Yi simply took out a few flying knives and stepped back a few paces before leaping through the shattered window into the hall. At that moment he heard glass breaking from another window—Lijie must have launched her attack at the same time.
As soon as his body crashed through the glass, Xin Yi sent his flying knives toward the people in the hall. He didn't intend to kill them outright; he just wanted to injure them enough to control the situation since it was better not to easily eliminate such important figures. If killing were his only goal, he would have done so long ago. Lijie's flying knives also shot toward those in the center of the hall.
Both Lijie and Xin Yi were quite confident in their knife-throwing skills; especially Lijie—her accuracy with flying knives surpassed that of bullets. They believed that once their knives were thrown, they would surely control the scene immediately.
However, it became clear they were mistaken because their flying knives did not reach those in the hall but instead seemed to hit something invisible and fell to the floor with clattering sounds. At that moment, sections of flooring around the walls suddenly moved aside as several rows of bodyguards holding AKs rose up from below ground level, all pointing their guns at Xin Yi and Lijie.
Damn! I sensed something was off long ago but still fell into their trap! Xin Yi felt frustrated; it seemed they not only had tight security but had also anticipated his arrival and set up traps waiting for him to walk right into them. This time he had really stumbled into a big mess!
Under the numerous gun barrels pointed at him, Xin Yi decided not to make any moves. He simply gestured towards Kobe Bryant in the center of the hall. He had already realized that the group of people in the middle was surrounded by a circle of bulletproof glass. Not to mention flying knives, even bullets from a sniper rifle couldn't penetrate it. However, because the glass was so transparent, he hadn't noticed it when he was outside the window. Who would have thought these guys would be so shameless as to install bulletproof glass in the middle of the hall? It was truly unbelievable that such a morally deficient genius designed this.
After making the gesture, Xin Yi saw the silver-haired elder sitting at the top reach down and press something on the inner side of the armrest of his sofa. The circle of bulletproof glass surrounding them slowly descended back into the ground. It turned out this was also a mechanism. It seemed he had underestimated this villa; there were so many mechanisms here. No wonder they dared to speak so freely in this hall.
Once the glass returned to the ground, the silver-haired elder spoke: "You must be Xin Yi, right? Hehehe, not bad for a young man, quite bold, but a bit reckless. Come, have a seat." After saying this, he waved at Xin Yi in a friendly manner.
Xin Yi was taken aback. It seemed they were indeed well-prepared. Hadn't he already undergone disguise by Roxy? Wasn't he now presenting himself as a Western gentleman? How could they recognize him at first glance? Xin Yi looked at Roxy with suspicion, only to see Roxy shake her head sadly.
At that moment, Kobe Bryant also spoke up, laughing: "Mr. Xin, you really didn't give me face last time you came to Lusang Nation. You just left without saying goodbye, and I worried about you for quite some time. This time, I must treat you well."
"Mr. Kobe Bryant is too polite," Xin Yi replied with a slight smile. Given how things had developed to this point, any attempt to resist would be futile. With so many AKs aimed at him, there was no chance to act. So Xin Yi simply walked over to Kobe Bryant and sat down confidently on Roxy's sofa, waving at Lijie: "Xiao Jie, come sit."
Seeing Xin Yi remain so composed, Kobe Bryant's father Yuan Shijie felt a sense of admiration for this young man's calmness and nodded slightly. At that moment, Kobe Bryant introduced him: "Mr. Xin, this is my father Mr. Yuan Shijie. He heard you were coming and gave up his rest to wait here for you. My father is a true native of Heavenly Pride Nation; I believe you will have much in common."
Xin Yi nodded and smiled at Yuan Shijie: "It's a pleasure to meet a fellow compatriot from Motherland in a foreign land. Hello, Mr. Yuan."
"Hehehe... Mr. Xin is quite the young hero! Actually, I wanted to meet you last time, but you left too hurriedly and didn't give me the chance. So this time I must see you," Yuan Shijie said with a smile. "It would be a regret not to meet such an outstanding talent from Heavenly Pride Nation."
"Mr. Yuan is too kind. In Heavenly Pride Nation, someone like me can be found everywhere; how can I be considered any talent? On the other hand, Mr. Yuan has established such a large gang as Black K Party in a foreign land; that's no easy feat! If we talk about heroes among the people of Heavenly Pride Nation, Mr. Yuan is certainly one of the top," Xin Yi replied.
"This is my uncle, Mr. Zhao Zixiu," Kobe Bryant continued with his introductions.
Xin Yi turned back and nodded with a smile at Zhao Zixiu: "Hello, Mr. Zhao." Zhao Zixiu did not respond verbally but simply smiled and nodded back at Xin Yi.
"Since you all know I would come, these preparations must be for me, right?" Xin Yi smiled and gestured to the bodyguards of Black K Party holding AKs around them.
"Yes," Yuan Shijie replied readily, "this is also a sign of respect for Mr. Xin, isn't it? I've heard that Mr. Xin's Kung Fu is quite remarkable; even my top warrior Topology has been defeated by you. So I had no choice but to prepare more people. Although my old bones are not far from the grave, I still don't want to end up as a corpse on the spot, hehehe... So Mr. Xin, you must understand."
"Hehe, I understand. Since you're so afraid of me, why didn't you just have someone take me out at the hotel or on the way here? Why take the risk of bringing me here? To be honest, the closer I am to you, the less safe you will be. Aren't you afraid? Hehehe..." Xin Yi's words carried a hint of disdain, implying that all this fuss was merely out of fear of him; after all, the founder and current leader of Black K Party was not that impressive. Of course, Xin Yi said this intentionally to provoke anger; only when his opponent was angry would he have a chance.
"Hehehe... To be honest, we are indeed very afraid of you," Yuan Shijie surprisingly admitted openly. This honesty made Xin Yi find this opponent even more formidable because he didn't care if you knew his weaknesses. However, because he didn't care about revealing his weaknesses, at that moment, they were no longer weaknesses. Yuan Shijie continued, "As the Third-in-Command of the Three Tiger Group from Heavenly Pride Nation, which has been gaining momentum recently, not only have we unified a large province in a short time but we've also taken over Black K Party's business and have the backing of Heavenly Pride Military. These are all reasons for us to fear you."
"However, although we fear you, it doesn't mean you will win in our struggle. On the contrary, you will definitely be the loser and lose terribly," Yuan Shijie continued.
"Oh? Mr. Yuan, why are you so certain that I will be the loser? I have always believed that justice will ultimately triumph over evil; therefore, I believe that we will be the ones who achieve victory in the end," Xin Yi replied.
"Hehehe... Why is Mr. Xin so stubborn? Isn't the current situation already quite clear? Your Third-in-Command has been controlled by us, and trade with Taiwan has already been taken over by us. Of course, I know you must still want to go to Taiwan to negotiate; that's what this trip is about, right? But it seems like you won't be able to go at all now. Isn't that enough to illustrate the problem?" Yuan Shijie laughed.
"Hehehe... Mr. Yuan, one should never jump to conclusions too early; this is something my grandfather taught me. I think this saying is equally applicable for you," Xin Yi replied with a smile.
