164: Absolute firepower

Qin Yun felt a little confused.

Why did Lyon suddenly harbor such intense hatred for Haishizi?

"What is going on?" Qin Yun asked, puzzled.

"I received news from a scout that a group of people were plotting around the camp. I rushed back, led the army to capture them all, and it turns out they were sent by Haishizi to assassinate you!"

"Haishizi has incredible audacity! How dare he cause trouble near my camp and attempt to assassinate the family's most important partner? I must kill him today!"

Lyon finished speaking angrily. Seeing that the soldiers were fully assembled, he asked Qin Yun, "I'm going to kill Haishizi. Are you coming?"

"Yes, of course I'm going!"

After handing the antiques he had purchased to Julia, Qin Yun followed Lyon into the same armored Land Rover.

The convoy of over a dozen vehicles set off murderously toward the auction house's station.

The organizers thought some reckless people were causing trouble and were just about to mobilize their troops to kill them all.

Upon learning it was Lyon's army, they became hesitant and frightened.

"May I ask what you intend to do?"

An officer braced himself and stepped forward to ask.

Lyon did not get out of the car; he poked his head out and said, "I'm going to deal with a reckless fool. You had better move aside!"

Hearing that Lyon only intended to kill one person, the officer smiled and ordered the checkpoint opened.

As long as they weren't disrupting the auction, killing just one person was an insignificant matter for the Lyon Family.

As Lyon's convoy passed, the officer even ordered the soldiers to salute Lyon.

Upon reaching the villa area constructed for the auction, Lyon jumped out of the car.

"Listen up! Surround this villa for me. Without my permission, not a single living person is allowed to come out. Understood?"

Hearing Lyon's command, the soldiers quickly dismounted and formed three ranks.

"Yes, sir."

Following the loud response, they surrounded the villa in a highly orderly fashion under the leadership of their squad and platoon leaders.

"Since Haishizi dared to make a move against you, I'll leave him for you to deal with."

"Don't worry. No matter what decision you make, I will support you, and we will ensure it is carried out!"

Lyon said, patting Qin Yun on the shoulder.

He didn't want to overstep his bounds, and he also wanted to test what kind of person Qin Yun was.

If he was cowardly and lacked courage, no matter how useful Qin Yun was, he wouldn't be a good partner.

Warlordism has always been a bloody and violent affair; there is little room for mercy.

"Alright, thank you very much."

"Don't come in. I'll go in alone to meet this Haishizi. I'm very curious where he found the guts to make a move."

After speaking, Qin Yun pushed open the main door and walked straight into the villa.

This scene completely dumbfounded Lyon.

Was Qin Yun being brave or naive?

It had escalated to this point, where the confrontation was life or death, yet Qin Yun dared to face Haishizi and his group alone.

He had originally intended for Qin Yun to order a massacre, but he hadn't expected this situation.

Gritting his teeth, he took a few non-commissioned officers and followed inside.

Inside the villa, Haishizi's group had long since heard the commotion outside.

The bodyguards wanted to come out and check the situation clearly.

Seeing elite soldiers holding guns and glaring menacingly from all sides, they were frightened and retreated back into the villa.

"Boss, our villa is surrounded by soldiers!"

Hearing the bodyguards' panicked report, Haishizi felt uneasy.

Could it be that Lyon brought his soldiers for revenge after Qin Yun was killed?

Thinking that Qin Yun was just a small figure, he quickly calmed down significantly.

Warlords are greedy; most likely, Lyon just wants to use this opportunity to extort him. He shouldn't be in danger.

At most, the price he pays will be a little heavy.

However, he didn't regret it. For Qin Yun, an unknown nobody, to dare oppose him was simply courting death.

"Don't panic, everyone, I'm here."

Straightening his jacket, Haishizi walked into the courtyard with a confident expression.

Being sophisticated, he had already prepared the exact words he would use to speak with Lyon.

As he reached the courtyard, he saw Qin Yun walking in ahead of everyone else, and he immediately panicked.

How is Qin Yun not dead?

What should he do now.

Haishizi's scalp tingled, his forehead instantly covered in sweat, and all the words he had prepared were useless.

"Surprised to see me? Why are you silent?"

"Didn't you want to kill me? I'm standing right here. If you have the guts, try to make a move."

Qin Yun sneered, completely ignoring the threat from the other side.

With the Profound Vision Treasure Eye, those few guns facing him couldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, with Lyon's elite soldiers outside, whether these bodyguards would even dare to act was another matter entirely.

Being mocked by Qin Yun, this small figure, Haishizi's blood rushed to his head.

For a moment, he forgot his fear, and anger took over.

"What kind of trash are you? Aren't you just relying on Lyon's power to act so brazenly?"

"I am not someone to be trifled with either. I have considerable influence in Belgium, and in America, I can crush you effortlessly. If you back down, we can bury the hatchet, otherwise, we will both suffer heavy losses, and you won't have a good outcome."

After Haishizi finished speaking, he waved toward the villa, and over thirty armed mercenaries walked out from inside.

They silently raised their rifles, aiming their muzzles at Qin Yun.

Instantly, the small courtyard was filled with a murderous aura.

"You sent people to kill me and now you want peace? You must be dreaming!"

"The situation between Haishizi and me is already one of mutual destruction. You also know the situation outside. If you put down your weapons, I will let you leave. You know the power of the Lyon Family; otherwise, not only you but also your families will go to hell."

There was no trace of panic on Qin Yun's face as he calmly persuaded the newly emerged mercenaries.

He guessed that these mercenaries were Haishizi's leverage, prepared in advance because he worried about Lyon holding him accountable.

However, mercenaries value money and their lives. Having money they can't spend, or worse, implicating their families, is something they would absolutely not accept.

Thinking of this, many mercenaries lowered their muzzles, ready to leave as a group as soon as someone took the lead.

Seeing the mercenaries swayed by just a few words from Qin Yun, Haishizi instantly panicked.

"Don't be afraid! Qin Yun is just a nobody. Even if you kill Qin Yun, the people outside won't open fire."

"Don't forget, my identity is extraordinary! I am the representative of the Curry-Ku The Consortium. Many mercenary groups hold our shares. In Belgium, no one will make trouble for me over a small character."

"Rest assured, I guarantee you will be fine!"

Haishizi cheered up, pretending to be fully confident, and spoke loudly.

The mercenaries gained a little confidence upon hearing Haishizi's words.

But thinking of the heavily armed soldiers outside, they only raised their muzzles perfunctorily, without any intention of leaving.

The commission this time was very generous, and the boss's identity was indeed unusual. It might truly just be a false alarm.

They didn't dare offend anyone, so they decided to wait until the situation became clearer before making a decision.

"What does your identity have to do with these mercenaries?"

"In a life-or-death crisis, people like him won't care about your survival. He will definitely be the first to sell you out just to save his own life."

Qin Yun continued to persuade the thirty-odd mercenaries.

He was confident he could escape the courtyard now, but doing so would certainly lead to a fight.

There would likely be no survivors left in the villa.

Many influential big shots were watching outside, and Qin Yun did not want to cause too much slaughter.

Otherwise, he would face endless trouble once he returned to America.

It would be troublesome if he were labeled a murderous maniac, cut from the same cloth as the warlords.

Haishizi knew he couldn't let Qin Yun continue speaking like this; otherwise, if the mercenaries left, his chances of survival would drastically decrease.

So, he secretly signaled his bodyguards.

The bodyguards and Haishizi were grasshoppers tied to the same string, so they stepped forward, attempting to capture Qin Yun.

"Boom!"

The area around the courtyard was instantly flattened, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust.

After the smoke and dust cleared, everyone was stunned by the sight around them.

Armored vehicles were in front, followed by dozens of heavily armed soldiers, with machine guns and rocket launchers on the flanks.

In less than three seconds, under this absolute superior firepower, the villa and everyone inside could be reduced to ashes!
