165: A cornered dog will jump over the wall.
After Lyon led his subordinates inside, he swept a cold gaze over everyone in the courtyard.
"I'll give you ten seconds. Anyone who doesn't want to die, get the hell out!"
"Otherwise, not just you, but your families won't be spared either!"
After Lyon finished speaking with immense dominance, he raised a hand.
Almost simultaneously, the soldiers all switched off their weapons' safeties.
With just one word from their boss, everyone on the field would be eliminated!
Seeing this, the mercenaries from Belgium didn't even think twice. They very sensibly put away their guns and lowered their heads, leaving from Lyon's flank.
They all understood the Lyon Family's status in Belgium and knew of Lyon, the war demon.
Being able to escape with their lives from Lyon's hands was a stroke of great luck; they didn't dare ask for more.
Seeing everyone scram due to his intimidation, Lyon nodded with satisfaction.
According to his own thoughts, since these people were against Qin Yun, he should just kill them.
He had promised Qin Yun that he could handle it as he wished.
Yet, shocked by Qin Yun's courage, he decided to give them a way out.
Seeing this situation, several of the bodyguards Haishizi had brought from America put down their guns and followed the mercenaries out in silence.
At this sight, Haishizi's face turned deathly pale.
Once his subordinates left, he would have no bargaining chips. Even if he could negotiate with Lyon, he would be picked clean.
"You... you all stop right there! Otherwise, I will never forgive you traitors!"
"I... I am..."
Haishizi wanted to say more, but seeing the muzzles of the soldiers opposite him all pointed his way, he immediately fell silent.
He could not fathom why Lyon would offend so many people for the sake of Qin Yun.
"How about this, I admit defeat. You can make any demands you want; as long as I can do it, I certainly will!"
Facing so many gun muzzles, Haishizi grew cowardly and signaled his surrender with very little confidence.
"Still thinking of surviving even now? I must say, you're quite the dreamer!"
"If you commit suicide, I can leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, wait to be riddled with ten thousand bullets!"
Qin Yun coldly announced Haishizi's fatal destiny.
Though he possessed a heart of mercy, he was absolutely ruthless toward those who harbored murderous intent and acted upon it.
Kill them directly to eliminate any future trouble!
What Qin Yun couldn't understand was why Haishizi would do something so insane.
The grudge between the two was half due to Haishizi embezzling his half-volume of the yongle encyclopedia, and half due to Haishizi using threats and manipulation to make Qin Yun work for him.
A Tycoon like Haishizi, with a net worth of a billion, shouldn't risk his life to hire assassins for less than a hundred million dollars!
What Qin Yun didn't know was that Haishizi did this mostly for the sake of his pride.
He would never allow someone working under him to stand on his head and look down on him.
From beginning to end, even now.
Haishizi still believed that Qin Yun was not a member of high society and that his own life and safety were not in danger.
He thought Lyon bringing the army was merely an intimidation tactic.
"What big words you speak. The only one here who can call the shots is Lyon. I can barely count as half of one, but you shouldn't even have the right to speak!"
Haishizi walked up to Lyon with a fawning smile: "I am willing to take full responsibility. Whatever compensation you need, just ask, I..."
Before Haishizi could finish, Lyon kicked him to the ground.
Lyon was wearing military boots and kicked very hard. Haishizi felt as if his ribs were broken; the pain was unbearable, making him gasp for air, unable to crawl up for a moment.
Compared to the physical pain, Haishizi's face felt even more like it was burning.
He didn't expect Lyon to give him no face at all.
Lyon was just the son of a stinking warlord, not exactly a world-class figure; he was only arrogant because he had a bit of power in Libya.
If it were in another country, with just one word from him, people would take care of Lyon for him.
In his heart, Haishizi hated Lyon and Qin Yun to death.
However, with his life in someone else's hands, the venomous look in his eyes flashed and vanished, and he forced a smile through the pain.
But because his face was distorted by intense pain and the smile wasn't genuine, it looked worse than crying.
"What kind of piece of crap dares to talk to my brother like that? Everything here is decided by Qin Yun!"
Lyon looked at Haishizi on the ground with contempt and spoke with utter disdain.
Only then did Haishizi panic.
Propping himself up with his hands, he saw Qin Yun's expressionless face and eyes filled with coldness, realizing that Qin Yun likely wouldn't spare him.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you. As long as you let me go today, once I return to America, whether it's money, power, or even becoming America's number one Treasure Hunter, I can satisfy all of it!"
"You know my power in America. Killing me will only vent your anger; it won't give you any substantial benefits. On the contrary, if you spare me, I will give you a handsome reward!"
Realizing his life was in Qin Yun's hands, Haishizi finally bowed his head to Qin Yun and spoke with a face full of pleading.
"Benefits?"
"A happy mood is the greatest benefit. As for the wealth you mentioned, take it to the grave. I hope you can use it in hell!"
Without a second thought, Qin Yun directly rejected Haishizi's plea.
With the Profound Vision Treasure Eye in his possession, money and fame were only a matter of time for him.
Rather than receiving charity from others, Qin Yun preferred to strive for it with his own hands.
Furthermore, since Haishizi had sent people to kill him and Julia, and this man was very powerful in America...
He never placed his safety on the mercy of an enemy.
Therefore, dealing with the trouble that was Haishizi in Belgium was the best choice!
"You, how can you be like this?"
"I am a member of The Consortium. After I die, someone will surely avenge me. When that time comes, you and Julia will definitely die without a place to be buried. Do you truly intend to kill me?"
Seeing that bribery wouldn't work, Haishizi put on a stern face and began to threaten Qin Yun.
"Revenge? Let them come. I'm not afraid of you while you're alive, so do you think I'd fear someone avenging you?"
Qin Yun sneered and spoke with a face full of disdain.
Haishizi was speechless.
He hadn't expected this small fry, Qin Yun, to be so determined to kill him.
And Lyon, the son of a Libyan warlord, was actually playing along with Qin Yun's nonsense.
Thinking about the grand prosperity and wealth waiting for him to enjoy, yet he was about to die at the hands of a nobody like Qin Yun.
He wasn't willing to just give in like this. His mind raced, thinking of how to survive.
Realizing that Qin Yun was someone Lyon highly valued, an idea instantly formed in his heart.
"Do you mean what you say? As long as I commit suicide, you'll leave my corpse intact?"
Haishizi asked with a face full of doubt.
His expression was a mix of pleading and conflict, appearing as naive as if he had undergone an internal struggle and placed all his hope on his enemy.
"Of course. I'm not full of lies like you!"
Qin Yun answered with great certainty.
He held a skeptical attitude toward Haishizi's words.
If Haishizi committed suicide, it would save him a lot of trouble.
But the possibility of someone like Haishizi committing suicide was very small.
Haishizi was alone now; no matter what, he couldn't stir up any waves.
He wanted to see what Haishizi's plan was.
Haishizi slowly took out a golden pistol from his waist, switched off the safety, closed his eyes, and slowly pointed the muzzle at his temple.
Suddenly, Haishizi's movement changed. He ducked behind Qin Yun and used the gun to point at Qin Yun, threatening everyone.
"It won't be that easy to make me die!"
"Let me leave, or I'll kill Qin Yun immediately!"
