Chapter 1055 - 1026: Miscalculation

When Xiao Lin appeared in front of him, his figure seemed to momentarily freeze. Then, he jumped backward to the window with large strides. Just as he was about to escape through it, another person appeared before him. Trapped between the two, he was a beast in a snare. Despite the surprise, Xiao Lin revealed some astonishment when he saw the man on the windowsill, evidently realizing the person wasn’t an ally.

The man on the windowsill intended to evade when Xiao Lin entered, but now found himself caught in a dilemma when a dart barely missed his figure. He hadn’t expected anyone else would appear. While the three were still caught in a moment of indecision, the person on the window vanished in a thought. The slightly slower individual was intercepted by Xiao Lin who jumped swiftly into the room.

However, the figure wasn’t slow in movements, feigning an attack at Xiao Lin before deftly gliding onto the windowsill, leaping down the floor. Xiao Lin glanced at the bed where Morrow lay, then followed suit by jumping out.

In the dark, the two figures chased each other, arriving at a center garden on the street. Xiao Lin landed a foot on a tree trunk and sprang upward like an eagle, diving down toward the dark figure. His right hand reached out like a talon aiming for the back of the neck.

"Raphael!" Xiao Lin shouted, tearing a piece of clothing as he grabbed it. The named individual paused briefly, turning to face Xiao Lin with a cold, fierce gust of wind. A seemingly simple punch concealed fearsome strength and an eerie angle.

In a blink, the two exchanged blows, producing the sound of collision. Under Xiao Lin’s fierce and merciless strikes, Raphael retreated repeatedly. Xiao Lin sliced out his left palm, abruptly aiming for Raphael’s lower abdomen.

Raphael’s eyes narrowed slightly. Faced with an unavoidable strike, his right foot suddenly lifted and whipped toward the palm. Bang! A muffled groan echoed. His entire body hesitated slightly before flying backward. Yet, when Xiao Lin attempted to capitalize on his advantage, countless silver flashes shot from Raphael’s just airborne figure without warning.

Faced with the multitude of hidden weapons, Xiao Lin charged forward with effort. His extended muscles shielded like a defensive wall, barking loudly, dark projectiles clattering to the ground mere feet away. He had no intention to dodge but forcefully entered the attack zone, pushing an intangible palm toward Raphael’s standing spot.

Raphael’s heart trembled seeing such a display from Xiao Lin. A sense of unease instantly clouded his mind. Before he could react, Xiao Lin roared, his menacing aura surged once more, like a wakening beast exploding with dread-inducing energy. He stomped forcefully, hurtling forward.

Too fast! With no time for Raphael to prepare, Xiao Lin’s powerful foot swung toward his lower abdomen. The backward-arching body blasted away, a mouthful of crimson blood tracing his fall.

Raphael suddenly let out a giggle, his pupils contracted abruptly, forcing a surge of energy to spring up. Meanwhile, two green balls the size of longan in his left hand, appeared and were crushed fiercely. Immediately, a dense gray mist enveloped the ground, and Raphael, shooting upward, disappeared from Xiao Lin’s sight.

Even losing sight of his target, Xiao Lin remained composed. A fist, as hard as iron, swept toward the edge of the gray mist fiercely. Raphael, poised for a sneak attack, felt his heart jolt in crisis, flipping his left hand to throw a few silver lights, lining in sequence to intercept Xiao Lin’s fist, diffusing his strength repeatedly!

Swish swish swish! Both maximized their speed, and as Raphael halted, Xiao Lin’s rapidly flying body burst upward suddenly, clasping onto a tree branch ahead. His agile form spun, clearing Raphael’s hidden weapons, then fell behind him, delivering a vicious palm toward his back.

Caught off guard, Raphael flew forward.

Bang bang, even though he forcibly twisted his body mid-air, he still fell awkwardly to the ground.

"You can’t kill me!" Raphael shouted loudly. Xiao Lin halted, while from not far away a figure flashed silently like electric light before Xiao Lin could act, lifting Raphael while shooting two palms toward Xiao Lin’s standing place to obstruct his advance.

Watching the shadow vanish in the distance, Xiao Lin had no intent to pursue. He quickly returned to the hospital, where Consort Ling leaned in the corner by Morrow’s bed, seemingly untouched.

"It’s DOMO!" Consort Ling lifted her eyes as Xiao Lin entered through the window, handing him a hexagram dart found on the ground.

"Did Mu Rongyun also come?"

"Yesterday the pursuers on the highway weren’t Shao Weihua’s people. Their approach was more Western, and very professional. To my knowledge, the only ones close to Shao Weihua, apart from the ’Black Crow,’ are some second- and third-rate gangs bought by the Wang Brothers, lacking substantial combat power. However, yesterday’s group was evidently several levels above them."

Xiao Lin fell into thought. The rose staff first appeared in the suburban manor, but the rose staff forged by Hong Lian and handed to Elder Wang was a fake, so the real one should be with Mu Rongyun. Shao Weihua would publicly announce the rose staff in the Wang Brothers’ possession.

Their aim seems to be gaining gang power. If Shao Weihua and Mu Rongyun share any collusion, they both seek the Xiao Family’s downfall, meaning they want to acquire the Dharma Seal.

Morrow had just made a decision but was swiftly assassinated. Raphael’s presence signified Nicholas’s intent, indicating he had made a deal with Shao Weihua. The Angel’s sudden departure wasn’t straightforward. Xiao Lin struggled to recall that unexpected blackout lasting ten minutes, knowing no simple person could take someone from under his nose.

Ah! Xiao Lin sighed! Nicholas values women, not power! Shao Weihua’s gift must have convinced him on one condition, Angel Adam Gadmon!

He had miscalculated a step, not expecting Mu Rongyun in Sicily. But when did they start contacting? If planned from the start, there was no way he could leave so easily. As a man, Shao Weihua wouldn’t hide his strength, nor resist flaunting it, meaning the collaboration began recently! (To be continued.
