I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 376: Chapter 246 If You Want to Live, Listen to Me! _2
 

Cumberland, wrapped in his long robe, revealed a smug smile.

Chen Lun raised his eyebrows but did not respond.

His attention shifted to the window, where several owls with blue and white speckles circled in the sky.

“Uncle Kaibak! I’m also a member of the Circus; you can’t arrange this…”

Noah spoke out.

Kaibak’s eyes twitched slightly, he hadn’t been offended like this in public in a very long time.

“Noah! You never cared about the Trade Association’s business since you were young, what do you know?! Your sister indulges you, but I, your uncle, cannot let you mess around with this critical matter!”

Kaibak scolded.

“Come over here! Walk with us!”

The other high-ranking members of the Trade Association looked at the tall and slightly overweight youth with smiles on their faces.

In reality, however, they all held some contempt for him.

A proper heir to the Trade Association, but he showed no interest in the family business; he dabbled in painting as a child, a complete waste of time; and as an adult, he ran off to become an “adventurer,” like a fool from those heroic tales, fighting and killing.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a better idea, why don’t you listen to it?”

At this time, Chen Lun withdrew his gaze from the window and spoke softly.

The attendees fell silent.

But Kaibak directly ignored his words, waving his hand, ready to adjourn the meeting and leave.

“Mr. Kaibak, don’t blame me for not warning you, you are on a path to your own demise.”

Chen Lun’s face was polite and smiling, his voice resonating throughout the entire hall.

Everyone’s expression changed slightly, and Kaibak stopped in his tracks, turned around, his eyes narrowing.

“Mr. Jack, what do you mean? Are you threatening me…?”

Two members of the Silver Dragon Guard pulled out their long-barreled flintlock guns from their backs and aimed at Chen Lun.

Chen Lun did not even glance at these two men.

With a beckoning hand, the window suddenly burst open with a bang, and five or six owls flew in, circled above the hall several times, then landed on Chen Lun’s shoulders and arms.

This sudden movement startled the guards so much they almost pulled their triggers.

“A threat? No… I’m just advising you, Mr. Kaibak.”

Chen Lun said, listening to the hooting of the owls.

“The plan you’ve devised seems meticulous, but it’s bound to fail, and most of those present will die along the way.”

All those present were taken aback.

Kaibak snorted coldly.

“I warn you, Jack, stop spewing your dire warnings.”

Chen Lun glanced around at the attendees and pointed to the owls beside him.

“After careful patrolling by these little ones, it’s not just those ‘Fallen Believers’ without Sanity in the city; there are also Transcendents from the Red Apple Church hiding within.

At least five Mid Sequence Priests and an even stronger Bishop. If we break out as originally planned, they’re sure to ambush us on the way, and you can imagine the outcome…

Apart from a few Transcendents, all ordinary people will die!”

“Shut up!”

Kaibak strode forward, followed closely by Captain Cixi, with several guards aiming their long-barreled flintlock guns consistently at Chen Lun’s head.

“Just because of these silly birds, you come to such a laughable, absurd conclusion? Enough! Stop making trouble here, do you understand? Waste any more time, and your Circus won’t get your commission and the third batch of Transcendental materials!”

Kaibak reprimanded.

Noah frowned; he had not expected the upper echelons of the Silver Dragon Trade Association to have become this domineering and aggressive.

“A bunch of fools, haven’t you ever thought about why no one has successfully escaped from Snow Crystal City up to now? Because they were all killed on the road!”

The polite smile on Chen Lun’s face did not change in the slightest, but Kaibak’s threat had already made him unwilling to endure any longer.

“Wasting so much of my breath!”

Chen Lun immediately reached out toward Kaibak.

Kaibak’s complexion changed at once.

Clang!

Cixi, standing beside him, focused his gaze, drew the long knife from his waist, and chopped at Chen Lun’s wrist, trying to sever it with one stroke.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lun’s wrist separated directly, and the knife light passed through it.

Cixi’s expression altered slightly.

“Fire! Protect Mr. Kaibak!”

But Chen Lun’s other hand flicked out more than a dozen playing cards, whizzing ceaselessly through the air, the rapidly spinning cards accurately striking the flintlock guns in the hands of the Silver Dragon Guards, slicing them cleanly in two.

The sound of crackling ensued.

The broken flintlock guns fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Chen Lun’s severed hand was holding Kaibak by the back of his neck and flung him down at his feet before pinning him to the ground with a foot.

The severed hand returned and reattached to the wrist.

Magic “Body Separation”!

Kaibak was terrified, lying on the ground, with one side of his face pressed against the floor and the other pinned down by a leather shoe.

He was both shocked and angry, yet he dared not speak out.

The scene was over so quickly that not just the ordinary people present were stunned, but Stan and Nalan were also a beat slow to react.

They originally thought Cixi had cut off the hand of this Jack, only to later realize it wasn’t the case; it was all the extraordinary skills of this man with the black hat.

Suddenly, Cumberland, who was watching the drama unfold, burst into action, launching a sneak attack from behind Chen Lun.

At the same time, Cixi also raised his long knife again and slashed down from above.

The pincer attack from the front and back was completed in nearly a second, too fast for ordinary people to react to.

Whoosh—Clang!

The attendees could only see a blur before their eyes.

The next second.

Cumberland and Cixi were as if frozen, motionless.

At their necks, each was stopped by the edge of a sword, the flashing blades just less than a centimeter from their throats.
