At this moment, the death throes of the guards turned the marble sculptures into snow-white chips, and the expensive rosewood furniture into shards scattered across the floor.
This luxurious Franjin Style Manor had become a disaster scene as if struck by a tornado.
The final moment to meet with Zhang Xin had finally arrived!
Lu Yao found a tap, washed his face, straightened his clothes and hair, and even took a white flower from a vase nearby.
It meant nothing more than giving Zhang Xin a big surprise when he took off his hood later!
~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao carried the Grenade Sniper on his back, tucked an M500 at his waist, held an AK in his hands, and a small white flower was tucked into his chest.
With a unique style, he arrived at the largest room of the Franjin Style Manor, only to find it blocked by an even thicker steel plate.
Lu Yao knocked on it, the sound muffled, nearly 50 millimeters thick. But no matter, he had plenty of resources at hand.
He returned to where the fight had taken place, fetched the arranged C4 explosives.
First, he used armor-piercing rounds from the Grenade Sniper to punch four holes in the steel plate, then slapped all four C4s onto them in one go.
Lu Yao took cover around the corner and shot the pile of explosives that had been intended for him.
With a colossal explosion, the whole building shook, and debris fell from the ceiling. Thankfully, the building didn't collapse because it was supported by steel reinforcements.
Dusting off his clothes, he walked over with a light step to find a half-man-sized hole had been blown into the steel plate.
Lu Yao took off his mask and stepped through, finding himself face-to-face with a heavily made-up drag queen in a long dress.
Both exclaimed in unison, "Who are you!?"
"You're Lu Yao/Zhang Xin!?"
Lu Yao had thought that his now strong, well-built figure with a starry gaze would surely give Zhang Xin a huge fright, especially since he used to be on the brink of death, a gust of wind away from falling over.
But what he never expected was that instead, Zhang Xin was the one who got a huge fright.
Entering a heightened state of awareness with all senses open, Lu Yao suddenly laughed out loud, "Ha, you've got cancer yourself? The wicked will eventually bring about their own destruction."
As someone who had been tormented by illness for many years, he was all too familiar with this condition, and he was certain that Zhang Xin had contracted some form of cancer.
It was like an out-of-control truck honking and barreling toward you, the momentum extremely fierce!
Ordinary people or animals would be scared into losing their ability to react, and then they'd be torn apart by sharp teeth and claws.
But Lu Yao's face bore a mocking expression, and it was as though thunder rolled within him. Then he let out a "hmm" from his nostrils, and with a swing of his arm, he threw a punch!
This punch burst through the air with a bang, landing fiercely on the white tiger's huge head, beating it to the attack.
The tiger's head was larger than Lu Yao's entire torso, and after being hit by that punch, half of its face caved in.
The white tiger let out a mournful scream and flew sideways, crashing onto the ground with a thud.
~~~~~~~
Protein is a miraculous thing, its composition and the structure of its polypeptide chains result in differing levels of strength.
Lu Yao's strength was nearly equal to that of the white tiger, with both exerting forces around 1.5 tons overall.
But he only weighed a quarter of the white tiger! This meant his muscle and bone efficiency far surpassed that of his opponent, hence why he could punch with force enough to burst through the air, something the tiger couldn't do.
As the white tiger shook its head, attempting to stand, Lu Yao had already unleashed Carp Stance and darted to its side, and with the power of inertia, he landed a knee strike right into its waist.
The white tiger once again flew sideways and crashed into the wall, whimpering once before blood foamed from its mouth and nose, then it stopped moving.
Lu Yao turned back to Zhang Xin, saying, "Is this your final card?"
He found the idea of a pet that could fight for its owner quite interesting.
Having witnessed Lu Yao's inhuman abilities, Zhang Xin was extremely shaken, and stuttering, he exclaimed,
"You... to send an 800-pound tiger flying... are you... are you even human?"
Lu Yao replied, "I'm actually an alien. As my home planet faced destruction, my parents sent me, still in my swaddling clothes, to Blue Star in a spaceship. Growing up, I discovered that sunbathing could make me stronger..."
"Enough! Stop messing with me!" Zhang Xin pulled out a handkerchief to cover his mouth as he coughed, taking quite some time to stop, then he looked up and said, "What do you really want to do? I have cancer now, you can't intimidate me!"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Dear cousin, recount the antique scam from start to finish, and I'll give you a chance to live."
Zhang Xin asked, "First tell me what sort of chance to live?"
Lu Yao pulled out his M500 revolver from his waist and said,
"Out of respect for our family ties, I'll give you a chance at Russian roulette. Just one round—if you survive, I'll let you go; or I could just twist off your head. Choose one."
