"To kill... kill someone?"

Chen Dongdong wasn't as daring as Shi Lei, after all. Hearing those words, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Killing hundreds or thousands in a game was no problem for him, but to actually wield a knife in reality, he truly didn't dare...

"Don't worry, you just need to take action to show your sincerity. As for the rest, leave it to me to sort out."

Following that, He Si added a reminder.

The meaning was simple: what He Si needed was for the two of them to take action to demonstrate their resolve. All subsequent troubles would be taken care of.

"Boss He, just say it, who do you want us to kill."

Shi Lei glanced at He Si and, without any hesitation, agreed.

He knew very well that there was no way to refuse now.

Refuse? With Xu Fan here, he would surely face ostracism later.

He stared intently at He Si, hoping that the person He Si would name wouldn't be too difficult to handle.

"Heh, true heroes are indeed young; your courage is commendable."

He Si praised them and then said, "The person you're to kill isn't hard to handle, I can assure you, he won't dare to resist."

"As for who it is? Far away on the horizon, yet close before your eyes. Now, you two, take action."

"This..."

After He Si finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Fan sitting beside him, then bowed his head.

How could Chen Dongdong and Shi Lei not understand whose head He Si was asking for?

They looked at Xu Fan in surprise...

Were they really going to become enemies with Xu Fan for so-called wealth and glory?

Recalling all the help Xu Fan had given them, both of them couldn't help shaking their heads.

Death before dishonor!

"Boss He, sorry, but we can't do that."

Holding no more reverence for He Si, they stood their ground and coldly positioned themselves in front of Xu Fan.

"Heh, such deep brotherly love, huh?"

"But do you two really think that if you refuse, today I, He Si, will let you leave alive?"

"If Boss He truly intends to do that, then I, Shi Lei, even if it means death, will make sure to take you down with me."

Seeing the murderous intent in He Si's eyes, Shi Lei gritted his teeth and retorted.

At this moment, he had no delusions about surviving this ordeal. Even if it cost him his life, he was determined to ensure Xu Fan got out of here safely.

"Boss, since you've turned against us, let's fight it out and kill this guy. After that, you're the boss."

Chen Dongdong, eyeing He Si's lower body, backed up to Xu Fan's side and said.

He was planning, when the moment came, to aim a crippling kick to He Si's crotch, while Shi Lei would restrain the man.

As for Zhou Zhanlong on the side, he would be Xu Fan's responsibility.

This charade had played out about enough.

Their loyalty to Xu Fan was sufficiently proven by their actions, and now, He Si was smiling as he stood up and walked over to Xu Fan.

"Alright... you..."

Before He Si could finish his speech, Chen Dongdong, quick to react, rushed forward, raising his knee directly to He Si's crotch.

Shi Lei didn't wait to miss this opportunity either. Hearing He Si's shrill, effeminate scream, he lunged forward and grabbed He Si by the throat.

"Don't fucking talk, or I'll kill you!"

He Si hadn't taken the two of them seriously and had almost lost his life for underestimating them, which certainly surprised him.

He did want to explain, but right now the pain was so intense that he couldn't utter a single word.

Desperately, he gestured with his brows and eyes to Zhou Zhanlong, hoping he would quickly clarify the situation.

"Boss Zhou, don't blame us juniors for being ruthless in our maneuvers. If you are unkind, we can only be unjust. If you want him to live, I suggest you, don't come out."

Zhou Zhanlong's aura in Shi Lei's heart was too overwhelming. He wasn't sure if Xu Fan could handle him. At the moment, he thought about taking He Si hostage and escaping the clubhouse with Xu Fan.

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the room became tense, and Zhou Zhanlong, who was cracking sunflower seeds, looked utterly confused.

These two kids are quite something, huh? They really went for the kill.

Zhou Zhanlong sized up Shi Lei for a moment, feeling that the kid bore some resemblance to himself when he was younger.

"Hehe, kill him? You got the guts, try it?"

Seeing He Si making gestures at him, Zhou Zhanlong pretended not to see, lazily cracking seeds and strolling over.

"Cough cough cough!"

Clearly startled by Zhou Zhanlong, Shi Lei's grip tightened significantly, and He Si nearly choked for air.

"Enough."

By then, Xu Fan really couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to Shi Lei and pulled him back.

"This..."

Shi Lei couldn't help but be stunned. To release a hostage they had finally seized—wasn't that courting death?

But when he and Chen Dongdong looked again, they were completely flabbergasted.

"Cough cough cough..."

Barely catching his breath, a very red-faced He Si charged straight at Zhou Zhanlong!

"Zhou Zhanlong, fuck your grandpa!"

This son of a bitch obviously wanted to see him make a fool of himself. He Si was so angry that he wanted to strangle him right there.

However, the disparity in their skills was too great. Zhou Zhanlong, while cracking seeds, easily dodged around, and He Si couldn't get a hand on him.

"Master! You have to judge this, this bastard, he's watching me die without helping!"

Since he couldn't catch up, He Si stopped, supporting his old waist, and started complaining to Xu Fan.

Zhou Zhanlong spit out a seed shell and said, "He Si, what are you doing, whining to the boss? I'm very innocent. I was just afraid you'd get choked to death, wasn't I?

"This is all my sincere concern, Master, isn't that right?"

Both men then looked at Xu Fan, along with Shi Lei and Chen Dongdong joining the gaze.

"Boss... boss, what did... they call you?"

"Boss, am I hallucinating from jerking off too much..."

Seeing the bewildered expressions on Chen Dongdong and Shi Lei, Xu Fan shook his head with a wry smile.

He Si's acting was indeed not bad. No wonder they still couldn't react.

As for the kick that almost castrated him earlier, Xu Fan could only say that Chen Dongdong was too hardcore; he himself hadn't figured it out yet.

"Both of them are my subordinates. Now, I command Lingyan Pavilion."

"As for what happened just now, they wanted to test your loyalty. It might have been a bit much, but please, don't take it to heart."

With that, it was time to wrap things up. Xu Fan took a deep breath and explained everything to them plainly.

"This..."

"Boss, give me a moment to process... my heart can't take this..."

Even though Xu Fan himself had told them, Chen Dongdong and Shi Lei still found it difficult to accept in such a short time.

So it turned out that Xu Fan, who messed around with them on a daily basis, was the king of Jinling's Underground World...
