Hank smiled without saying a word. There were some things he didn't need to explain clearly; explaining them would make them meaningless.
Sato hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Zhou Xuan and Zhuang Zhixian lying on the ground and asked, "What should we do with these two?"
Hank chuckled and said, "Of course! Throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
After saying that, Hank waved to his men, and two of them immediately came over to carry Zhou Xuan.
Before his two subordinates could even approach, Zhou Xuan moved his hands and feet, then got up and stood up.
Hank, Sato, and their men were all taken aback and quickly pointed their guns at him. Even Ma Shu stared at him in surprise.
It's only been a few minutes, there's no way Zhou Xuan could have woken up yet.
Zhou Xuan ignored them and walked straight to Zhuang Zhixian's side. He took out his phone, checked the dialed numbers, and then put the phone in his pocket.
Hank paused for a moment, then brandished his pistol and shouted, "What... are you doing? Go squat down!"
Zhou Xuan then coldly said to him, "Hank, I advise you not to mess with me. Just let it go. You can divide the money if you want, do whatever you want. It's best if you pretend I don't exist. If you insist on touching me, the consequences are your own business!"
Hank chuckled, his anger replaced by amusement, and said, "Heh heh, you're quite amusing. I don't know if you're stupid or just bragging. Do you know how many guns are pointed at you right now? Do you know you're just one person?"
Zhou Xuan ignored him, took his phone and walked out of the hall. He was going to the cockpit to have the yacht crew take the yacht back to shore. At this moment, he didn't have time to get entangled with Hank and his gang.
Hank couldn't hold back any longer and raised his gun to fire, but no sound came out even after repeatedly pulling the trigger. He paused, thinking the gun was broken, and casually threw it away, ordering his men, "Kill him!"
Hank gave the order, and his men, without hesitation, raised their guns and opened fire. Strangely, however, not a single gun fired.
This scene was all too familiar to Ma Shu; here it comes again!
Startled, Ma Shu quickly shrank back. As soon as this happened, he knew in his heart that the terrible Zhou Xuan was back. He just didn't understand why the anesthetic he had just injected into Zhou Xuan's back hadn't worked.
Ma Shu didn't understand that earlier, when Ma Shu accompanied Hank to the restroom, Zhou Xuan had been using ice energy to probe them.
In the restroom, Ma Shu and Hank secretly reached an agreement: Ma Shu would handle Zhou Xuan and Zhuang Zhixian, and he would take one-third of the profits. It was impossible not to give Sato a share, as Sato had quite a few people. If he got his share, things would be much easier later. None of the three parties would talk about it after they received the money. After Zhuang Zhixian disappeared, it would definitely cause some trouble. Only those who had received the money would keep quiet.
Ma Shu and Hank were confident that their secrecy was foolproof, but little did they know that Zhou Xuan had already figured it all out. So when Ma Shu secretly pricked Zhou Xuan with a needle, Zhou Xuan had already used his icy energy to convert and absorb the medicine in the syringe. His falling to the ground and not moving was just an act.
Hank and his men panicked when they realized their pistols were all out of order. They assumed the pistols were malfunctioning, but they didn't dare show it too obviously. Otherwise, they would be in trouble once they realized what was happening, as only Sato's men in the hall had guns. Sato would not be polite to Hank just because he had kindly given him a third of the share. If he knew that Hank's men's guns were out of order, he might just rob them of all the money.
Hank gave Sato a meaningful look and said, "Sato, call your men to help us catch Zhou Xuan right now, don't let him get away!"
Sato was naturally unaware of the numerous problems brewing behind the scenes, and he could never have imagined that Hank's guns had malfunctioned, since he had just killed more than a dozen of Zhuang Zhixian's men. There was no need for him to take this gamble.
Sato waved his hand, and his men and Hank's men rushed over. Zhou Xuan didn't even look at them and continued walking out of the hall. When the men who rushed up were still five or six meters away from him, they all screamed and fell to the ground. The people behind him didn't know what was going on because Zhou Xuan didn't turn around at all, and didn't even make any special moves with his hands or feet towards them. He just walked out of the hall.
Those who chased after him fell down one after another, all clutching their feet as they fell to the ground. By the time Zhou Xuan walked out of the hall and disappeared from sight, the hall was filled with people lying on the ground, except for Hank, Sato, and Ma Shu, who were standing. Among them were more than a dozen corpses and more than a dozen injured people clutching their feet and screaming in agony.
The deceased was Zhuang Zhixian's subordinate, and the injured were Sato and Hank's subordinates.
Hank and Sato were both stunned for a moment, then rushed over to check on their men. They discovered that all of the dozen or so men had ankle injuries, with blood gushing out. The wounds weren't large, but Hank knew very well that although they weren't big, a tendon in the Achilles tendon had been severed!
Everyone's wound is the same, in the same place. A severed Achilles tendon is not a minor injury, but a direct cause of disability. Even if it is set and healed, it will be shorter, and you will be lame even after recovery.
But how did this injury come about? It must have been Zhou Xuan, right? And how did Zhou Xuan manage to do it?
Hank and Sato exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear. From the start of the betting game, they had always felt that Zhou Xuan had a mysterious yet indescribable quality. His methods, which they thought were foolproof, always went wrong. At the time, they thought it was just a mistake in his methods, but now that they thought about it, they understood. The fear in their eyes intensified.
Zhou Xuan may seem ordinary, but Hank and Sateng understood how terrifying he was. No matter how remarkable their methods were, Zhou Xuan had managed to neutralize them without them even noticing, and had also driven them to a dead end without them even noticing!
The two were startled, and then looked at Ma Shu at the same time, only to see Ma Shu cowering in a corner of the hall, his face full of fear!
Hank slipped over and asked first, "Ma Shu, what exactly happened?"
Ma Shu's face turned pale. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mr. Hank, this Zhou Xuan is not someone that all of us can handle. He... he's too terrifying!"
Seeing Hank and Sateng's stunned expressions, he added, "I think if he wanted to, everyone on this yacht could be under his control. If he had that thought, we would all die without a trace!"
If Ma Shu had said this at the beginning, Hank and Sato would never have believed it and would have thought he was exaggerating. But now they believed it for sure. He hadn't even lifted a finger, and a dozen or so of his men had their Achilles tendons severed and were lying on the ground. If he really wanted to kill them, it would have been in a matter of seconds.
Zhou Xuan, holding Zhuang Zhixian's phone, ran towards the cockpit while checking the time. By this time, the pilot in the cockpit had already been hijacked by Hank's men. It could be said that Zhuang Zhixian's entire force had been wiped out.
Zhou Xuan rushed into the cockpit, where there were three men. Without saying a word, Zhou Xuan immediately ordered, "Sail the yacht back to shore right now!"
The three men naturally ignored him; outnumbered and powerful, they weren't afraid of Zhou Xuan alone. Two of them immediately rushed forward to beat him up.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan wanted to make an example of them and establish his authority. With a wave of his hand, before the two men who rushed up could even extend their fists, their five fingers were severed and fell to the ground. They were stunned for a moment before howling like pigs being slaughtered.
The other uninjured man was terrified. Zhou Xuan shouted, "Turn around and head towards the shore immediately, or your hand will end up like theirs!"
The three men didn't even know how Zhou Xuan had cut off their fingers, so they didn't dare to resist and quickly steered the yacht towards the shore.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and then went back to the yacht's main hall. Sato and Hank were worried. How could the three of them possibly move so many money boxes? But they were reluctant to give up the money and run away. They were about to call over their two men who were guarding the fishing boat outside the yacht to help them move the money boxes when Zhou Xuan walked in.
The ten or so men with severed Achilles tendons were still crying out in pain and couldn't stand up.
When Zhou Xuan entered, they were so frightened that they stopped shouting and stared at him in terror.
Inside the hall, Sato, Hank, and Ma Shu all stared at Zhou Xuan, not daring to say a word.
Zhou Xuan glanced at them coldly, then walked over to Zhuang Zhixian, squatted down, and checked his breath with his finger. Zhuang Zhixian was already dead; he had died under anesthesia. The dosage of this anesthetic was far beyond what he could withstand. Within seconds, the anesthetic had rendered all his bodily functions ineffective, turning him into a corpse.
Zhou Xuan raised his head and stared coldly at Ma Shu. Ma Shu shivered. He was helpless against Zhou Xuan. This man was too terrifying. No matter if it was a knife, spear, sword, or stick, nothing could hurt him. And when he wanted to hurt someone, it was invisibly.
In truth, Ma Shu didn't really understand that Zhou Xuan's weapons weren't incapable of harming him, but rather that they had already been transformed and absorbed by his icy energy before they could actually hurt him.
Zhou Xuan stared at Ma Shu and said coldly, "Ma Shu, where are you keeping my friend locked up?"
Facing Zhou Xuan's cold, murderous gaze, Ma Shu was even more terrified and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I...I don't know. It was all Zhuang Zhixian's doing. He never tells me anything, and he always puts me down and looks down on me, which is why I betrayed him..."
