"You've already encountered Fatty Gao's men?" Iron Hand asked in surprise.

Lin Hai nodded.

"Then why did you..."

"You're wondering why I'm okay, right?"

Iron Hand nodded, thinking that if Fatty Gao's people made a move, Lin Hai would certainly be dead.

But now, the unexpected happened — he was completely unharmed.

He realized he might have underestimated someone.

"Because Fatty Gao's men are trash, they couldn't take me down." Lin Hai smiled as he spoke.

Iron Hand looked surprised and said, "Fatty Gao is very vindictive, never letting go of a grudge. If he fails once, he'll definitely keep trying. You need to be careful."

"For people who just won't let go, I have a habit of making them stay quiet for good." Lin Hai said.

Iron Hand paused, frowned, and said, "Criminals are people too; you can't just kill indiscriminately."

"The people I, Lin Hai, kill, all deserve it."

"No one deserves to die." Iron Hand shook his head.

"What about Fatty Gao?" Lin Hai asked with a laugh.

Iron Hand fell silent.

Fatty Gao... he did seem deserving of death, being intolerably evil, bullying everyone in the Heavenly Prison's A-3 District.

"Kid, my big brother is afraid you'll get trapped here." a brother behind Iron Hand shouted.

Iron Hand raised his hand, shaking his head; he knew better than his brothers behind him that Fatty Gao's Second Vajra had seemingly died at the small supermarket.

Now Lin Hai was showing such calmness, making Iron Hand not dare to underestimate him.

"Brother Lin, if you need anything in the Heavenly Prison, just call me anytime." Iron Hand's words aligned him with Lin Hai.

Lin Hai nodded: "Thanks, Brother Iron Hand."

"By the way, Brother Iron Hand, this is my friend Wang Ergun; please look after him in the future."

Iron Hand glanced at Wang Ergun, nodded: "Since he's Brother Lin's friend, he's also my friend, Iron Hand."

"In the future, if you encounter any trouble in A-3 District, just mention my name, Iron Hand."

Wang Ergun was filled with a surprising sense of elation.

Once upon a time, he couldn't even talk to Iron Hand.

While they were talking, Fatty Gao had already come over with his men in a loud entourage.

"Speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives." Lin Hai laughed and said to Iron Hand.

"Humph, so you're Lin Hai?" Fatty Gao snorted coldly, exuding a murderous aura.

Lin Hai remained calm, smiling and nodding.

"Kid, you're quite arrogant." Fatty Gao sneered, while his men looked fiercely at Lin Hai.

"A pine tree stands atop Mount Tai, Master Lin stands proudly amidst the storm — they're talking about me." Lin Hai said with a beaming smile.

You can't deny that these words were brash.

But Lin Hai needed to be brash.

In the Heavenly Prison, where the strong prey on the weak, if you aren't bold and proud, simply keeping a low profile will make others think you're easy to bully.

If they think you're easy to bully, they'll naturally bully you fiercely.

If Fatty Gao had known from the start that Lin Hai was not to be messed with, he'd never have taken the job, no matter what.

"Kid, did Super Sister help you?" Fatty Gao asked.

"Hehe." Lin Hai smiled but didn't speak.

"Humph, I don't care what relationship you had with Super Sister before coming here, but this isn't a small supermarket — no one can save you." Fatty Gao thought Lin Hai relied on special connections.

In A-3 District, the only one he feared was the mysterious Super Sister.

This Super Sister had three chain stores in Area A.

Districts A-1 and A-2 had self-service supermarkets; every month, people from Heavenly Punishment and Grinding served as cashiers, splitting ten percent of the profits.

Yet, in A-3 District, Super Sister personally acted as the cashier.

"Oh? What? You want to make a move here?" Lin Hai laughed calmly.

Fatty Gao also laughed, though it was a cold, murderous laugh.

"Lin Hai, daring to offend me, you're doomed."

"Oh? I'd like to see how I'm doomed."

Lin Hai showed no weakness.

With a clang, a guy covered in bizarre tattoos stepped out, clenching his fists, staring bloodthirstily at Lin Hai as if seeing prey.

This guy displayed the power of a Supreme Strong, with Gang Qi radiating, making it impossible to approach.

Fatty Gao's Demon Group's top henchman, First Vajra, Liu Batian.

"Old Liu, take care of him."

Fatty Gao raised his head.

In his view, without Super Sister's help, Lin Hai was doomed.

"Go Brother Lin." Wang Ergun exclaimed.

"Kid, dare to support him? After we take him down, don't expect to live." Fatty Gao glared at Wang Ergun threateningly.

Wang Ergun, scared, swallowed hard, but seeing Iron Hand beside him, found some courage, perhaps from being bullied for too long, and retorted defiantly: "I'm Iron Hand Brother's man."

Fatty Gao looked complexly at Iron Hand, snorted: "Iron Hand, control your men, or don't blame me for not following the rules."

"Try me if you want to touch Iron Hand's people."

Iron Hand responded without showing weakness.

"I'm done wasting words with you; Old Liu, kill this Lin Hai, make it cruel, it's more exciting that way."

First Vajra Liu Batian nodded and walked towards Lin Hai with a sinister smile.

"Kid, don't resist; you can't withstand even one punch from me."

Liu Batian said, followed by laughter from the group behind Fatty Gao.

You have to admit, Liu Batian was powerfully built, over 1.9 meters tall, towering over Lin Hai.

In his view, Lin Hai was just a slightly larger kid.

"Die now, I'll crush you into pieces, snapping your bones bit by bit!"

Liu Batian extended his fist.

Wang Ergun felt nervous, instinctively looking at Iron Hand.

"Relax, Brother Lin, if he can't hold his ground, I'll step in." Iron Hand said.

Wang Ergun breathed a sigh of relief.

As Liu Batian punched toward Lin Hai's head, Lin Hai also made his move.

His punch suddenly swung out, colliding with Liu Batian's fist.

Crack—

A sickening sound of bone fracturing rang out.

"That kid overestimated himself, dared to throw fists with Master Liu."

"Haha, did you hear the bone cracking sound? That kid's fist must be completely shattered."

"Master Liu mighty! Master Liu fierce, crush that guy."

A group of henchmen applauded and cheered.

Fatty Gao nodded slightly, thinking soon he'd hear Lin Hai's heartrending screams.

Ah—

A heartrending scream did indeed echo.

Liu Batian's forehead dripped with sweat the size of peas, his arm exploded with a bang, and he staggered back a dozen steps, finally sitting heavily on the ground.

Immediately, a spurt of fresh blood came out, Liu Batian nearly fainted from the pain.

The Protective Gang Qi completely collapsed.

His eyes showed no arrogance anymore, only deep shock and fear.

"What?"

"How could Master Liu..."

The underlings hadn't reacted yet, and Lin Hai moved again.

With a whisk, he seemed like a shadow.

Liu Batian and Fatty Gao blinked, unable to react, just feeling their eyes blur, Lin Hai was already in front of Liu Batian.

A punch, aimed at Liu Batian's head, slammed down hard.

Crack—

The sound of skull shattering rang loudly in the surroundings.
