Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Overwhelming Strength

Outside Warehouse Complex No. 27 at the Su City Logistics Center, a few guards were on a diligent patrol.

The area was quiet. To the west of the warehouse, six large trucks were parked side-by-side.

The complex was an area composed of twelve interconnected warehouse units. Third Young Master Qin had led three hundred of his elites to infiltrate it in groups.

He now stood on a crane tower, binoculars in hand. After a single glance, he gave the order: ”Everyone, pull back! It’s a trap!”

”Huh? Third Young Master, are you sure?”

”Idiot! If those goods, worth a fortune, were really hidden here, the Dongshen Financial Group would never have left the place completely unguarded!”

Young Master Qin’s eyes narrowed. ”That idiot Li Xiaohai... he was used. Fuck!”

The Qin Family elites immediately began to pull back.

They regrouped outside the logistics center and quietly boarded their buses.

”Reporting to Young Master Qin! Team One has assembled and is ready to withdraw!” the squad leader announced. He then turned and shouted at the driver, ”Let’s go! Back to the villa!”

The driver didn’t move an inch.

Hm?

The Qin Family squad leader frowned and walked over, slapping the driver on the shoulder. ”I told you to drive!”

The driver slumped over, stiff.

The eyes of every Qin Family assassin on the bus went wide.

The getaway driver was lifeless. He’d been taken out long ago!

A chill ran down the squad leader’s spine. ”Get off the bus!”

CLANK! The door was chained shut from the outside.

Chen Feiyu of the Night Emperor’s Personal Guard stood outside, chuckling. ”I’m here to see you off!”

The buses were all wrapped in chains. Up ahead, a truck cab rumbled to life, pulled the chains taut, and began dragging the buses toward the desolate outskirts of the city.

Chen Feiyu keyed his communicator. ”The plan is proceeding smoothly. We’ve got the first team!”

Meanwhile, in other spots outside the warehouse, all the Qin Family’s buses were being hauled away by chains, dragged toward the city limits.

Three hundred elites, ten squads.

Neutralized in an instant.

Standing on the crane tower, Young Master Qin looked as if his eyes would pop out of his skull.

What the fuck was going on?

’I planned for every contingency, but I never saw this coming!’

He spun around to jump, but his vision blurred. A figure had materialized before him, standing silently against the night sky.

On a steel cable opposite the crane tower!

’Who?’

Young Master Qin’s blood ran cold. ’How did I not sense their approach?’

The figure in the darkness chuckled, a cold sound that seemed to rise from the depths of Hell.

Young Master Qin’s eyes widened. ”You’re Qin Tianxuan?”

The shadowy figure slowly advanced, the steel cable creaking under his feet.

Young Master Qin was inwardly ecstatic. ’What an idiot. Trying to look cool standing on a steel cable. It might look impressive, but your footing is unstable. All I have to do is...’

He was still trying to decide on the best point of attack when Qin Tianxuan reached the middle of the cable. ”You want to use my position on this cable to your advantage? Launch a sneak attack? Go for my feet first, then aim for my head?”

’What?’

Young Master Qin trembled. ’How did he read my thoughts so perfectly?’

Qin Tianxuan said flatly, ”You’re welcome to try.”

The Qin Family’s Third Young Master tried to puff up his courage. ”Qin Tianxuan, you’re not so impressive after all! This trap you laid is pathetically simple. I’m very disappointed in your supposed intellect!”

Qin Tianxuan laughed. ”This trap was for Li Xiaohai. As for you, I prefer to be more direct!”

’Fuck!’

’Direct? A direct approach?’

The Qin Family’s Third Young Master roared, ”Don’t you dare underestimate me!”

He was about to strike!

Opposite him, a brilliant light flared, so bright it eclipsed the moon and the stars.

The Qin Family’s Third Young Master went rigid as Qin Tianxuan, a blur of motion, shot past him.

Only then did Young Master Qin realize that the brilliant light was nothing more than a piece of sheet metal in Qin Tianxuan’s hand.

The metal shard had sliced cleanly through his throat!

Qin Tianxuan now stood behind him. ”You’re just a minor pawn from the Qin Family, not even worth my time. But you brought a lot of people with you, which posed a slight threat to my daughter. And I don’t like threats of any kind. So, my apologies. When you meet King Yama, leave a message for me. Tell those bastards from the Qin Family and the Ye Family that they’ll all be joining you soon enough!”

With those cold words, Qin Tianxuan kicked him off the crane.

In his last moments, eyes wide with shock, Young Master Qin couldn’t believe it.

’I... I couldn’t even see his movements?’

That was his final thought.

Below, members of his Personal Guard appeared, silently carrying away Young Master Qin’s body.

Qin Tianxuan stood atop the crane tower, his trench coat fluttering, and gazed out at the dazzling lights of Su City with a hint of melancholy.

He was really starting to like this city.

Perhaps it was because of his daughter, Niannian. Perhaps it was the small, warm courtyard in this city, or the thoughtful and understanding Weiwei.

But as long as the Northern Domain remained in turmoil, he could never live in peace.

As he was thinking, his phone vibrated.

It was a call from Weiwei, this late at night.

”Weiwei, I’m out taking care of something. Why are you still up so late?”

”Brother Tianxuan, I’ve been so busy all day I completely missed a message from Niannian’s school! It’s great news! Niannian’s performance has been so outstanding that she’s being transferred to the advanced class!”

The advanced class at Tianjiao Primary School was a world apart from the regular classes.

Getting into the advanced class was a mark of her strong academic abilities, and it virtually guaranteed her admission into a top junior high school.

Qin Tianxuan was overjoyed. ”That’s my Niannian! I’m on my way home!”

He walked down from the crane tower, where his Personal Guard Captain appeared. ”Sir, all of the Qin Family’s assassins have been neutralized. How should we proceed?”

”Eliminate them all, buses included.”

”Yes, sir!”

”Then prepare three hundred and one coffins. Fill them, and send them back to the Daqin Royal Family!”

”Yes, sir!”

”Send someone to that villa. Make sure we didn’t miss anyone.”

”Yes, sir!”
