Chapter 11: Escaped Convict 'Chu Tian'
"Smiled at you?" said Li Ran with surprise.
"Hm, I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives has no bad intention." Qin Hong said with bemusement, "Actually, I have always felt that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives seems familiar. It's as though I have met him somewhere. However, no matter how I think, I just can't remember."
"If you can't remember, don't think about it." Li Ran instructed.
A while later, a knock on the door sounded.
"It should be Brother Yang. I will open the door." Qin Hong said as he walked to the living room Before he opened the door, he looked through the peephole on the door. A bespectacled well-mannered man with a height of around 1.75 meters stood outside the door. As soon as the man came in, Qin Hong closed the door.
At this moment, Li Ran came out from the room.
"Brother Yang." Li Ran greeted with a smile.
"Little Ran, you are pregnant. You shouldn't be running around. Just rest." Brother Yang said with a smile. Brother Yang's name is Yang Yun, the head of the special operation team in the entire Jiangsu and an extremely skilled person. Because the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives and the two Giants of the God Kingdom are involved, the special operation team members are all in Yangzhou.
Yang Yun looked directly at Qin Hong as he asked, "Qin Hong, you told me that you saw the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives. Can you check if he's still there?"
Qin Hong responded with a nod. He then walked to the window in the living room and peeked out of the shutter.
"Brother Yang, he is still there." As soon as Qin Hong spoke, Yang Yun immediately followed.
"Brother Yang, look! He's on the second floor of the tea house. Look at the largest window. That man is the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives. A lady is sitting opposite him." Qin Hong frowned and muttered, "Eh, isn't that...?"
"That's..?" Yang Yun was slightly surprised.
"Yea, I didn't look carefully at that lady earlier. I didn't expect her to be there. That lady is Lin Qing and she is rather famous in Yangzhou City." Yangzhou City is not small nor is it big. Thus, Qin Hong naturally knew about this famous figure.
Yang Yun nodded slightly and immediately took out his phone and dialed someone.
"Chen San, bring your team here. Er. I need your team to gather in the White Cloud Cafe opposite Qin Hong's house. I have an important mission for you!" With this, Yang Yun hung up.
"Qin Hong, just stay here and don't go anywhere." Yang Yun instructed and immediately left Qin Hong's house.
...
In a private room in the White Cloud Cafe, Yang Yun and a seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man could be seen.
Hearing the report coming from the headphones, the seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man nodded and said, "Boss Yang, the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives and the lady named Lin Qing have left the Willow Tree Tea House. Someone from my team is in charge of following Lin Qing while the other four will follow the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives."

Instead of replying, Yang Yun waited silently.
After a while, the middle-aged man said with a helpless smile, "Boss Yang, the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives has disappeared."
"Just as I expected." Yang Yun shook his head and said with a smile, "the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives could be considered the most powerful man in the world. He was a hitman, so he is very adept at hiding, tracking, and reverse tracking. It is extremely difficult to track him. Forget about it. Chen San, just ask your team to follow Lin Qing. Maybe she can provide us clues to make a breakthrough in this mission."
"Yes." Chen San immediately responded.

Teng Qingshan was walking leisurely In the ancient-looking alley.
"The people that were following me should be part of the same organization as my brother." Teng Qingshan deduced. "With my brother's status, he should know that I am the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives." Yet, Teng Qingshan didn't care at all. In Teng Qingshan's point of view, a special agent is the same as an ordinary human being.
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan's ears pricked and he immediately accelerated.
As he arrived at a turning point, there was a skinny man wearing a hat in the alleyway ahead.
Because Teng Qingshan wanted to follow this skinny man, he didn't stay in the Willow Tree Tea House for too long. However, Teng Qingshan's skills allowed him to see not just with his eyes. He could easily track and follow a person with just the use of his ears.
"This morning, he has paced back and forth in front of my brother's house for three times. His clothing changed whenever he passed by and he would observe my brother's house every time. I don't think he has good intentions." Teng Qingshan's attention was entirely on his brother's house and would observe every passerby.
With Teng Qingshan's specially trained memory, he would never forget anything that he had seen once.
Moreover, skinny man has very poor disguising skills.
"In addition, the person's expression is weird. He has been looking at the surrounding with wariness." As a hitman that stood on the utmost pinnacle, Teng Qingshan can easily find many weaknesses. It was obvious that the person has a very weak disguise.
Teng Qingshan could easily tell that the skinny man has bad intention. Thus, how could he easily let this guy go? His brother Qinghe is his only family member.
Teng Qingshan has been following the skinny man for a long time, but the skinny man didn't notice at all.
Soon, the skinny man arrived below a six-story building in a compound area and went up the stairs. As for Teng Qingshan, he waited near the staircase and listened stealthily.
"Third floor. It's the house on the left." Teng Qingshan could easily tell where the skinny man went by just listening to the sounds.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan went up the stairs. He came to the house on the third floor and placed his ears against the wooden door.
He could hear the soft voice in the house very clearly.
"Hello, Boss Li, I have already checked that place. You never told me that Qin Hong has a pregnant wife. When I assassinate Qin Hong, I will have to kill his wife as well. Otherwise, if his wife screamed, the people around would know what happened and I would be doomed. Therefore, I think your price should increase. How about an increase of one hundred thousand? Boss, this price is nothing for you.

When Teng Qingshan heard this outside the door, he felt an intense murderous intent in the bottom of his heart.
"Not only does he plan to kill my brother, he also plans to kill my sister-in-law?"
Qinghe is his only family member. Teng Qingshan will not allow something like this to happen.
"Haha! Boss Li is decisive and straightforward just as I expected. Don't worry! I will leave right after I have completed the task. Rest assured. Although Qin Hong is powerful, I have a plan in mind that will ensure his death. Alright. Just wait for the good news." With this, the man in the house hung up.
Teng Qingshan gripped the door lock and shook the lock with his inner strength. He then pushed the door and entered the house with ease. It was as though the door was not locked.
The skinny man was lying leisurely on the sofa in the living room and humming a song out of tune. With the remote control in his hand, he turned on the TV. The skinny man then scanned the door and noticed a bespectacled young man push open the door and enter the house. The young man then closed the door with ease.
"Who are you?" The skinny man was shocked and very confused as he thought to himself, "Did I forget to lock the door? That's impossible! I am not that careless."
"Who am I?" Teng Qingshan replied as he approached with a smile.
A cold glint flashed in the skinny man's eyes as he pulled out a gun at the speed of lightning.
Something eerie then happened. The young man who was in front of the door suddenly appeared right in front and instantly took the gun.
"Crack~~" The gun barrel was twisted.
The skinny man's facial expression changed dramatically.
The hardness of the gun was obvious. This person had twisted the gun barrel with just his arm strength. How is it possible for him to win against someone as powerful as this?
"Big Brother, which organization sent you?" The skinny man was so afraid that he began shivering. He hastily asked, "Brother, I am Chu Tian and I am quite famous… I did something wrong back home earlier and am now wanted by the police. Big Brother, if I had offended you, please…"
"Shut up." Teng Qingshan said indifferently.
Chu Tian was so scared that he immediately became quiet.
"You will answer concisely whenever I ask you a question." Teng Qingshan's voice revealed no emotions. However, his cold-looking eyes caused Chu Tian's heart to palpitate.
"Big Brother, please ask." Chu Tian hastily answered.
"Are you planning to kill Qin Hong and his wife?" Teng Qingshan asked indifferently.
Chu Tian froze for a moment and hesitated.
"Crack!" Chu Tian didn't see Teng Qingshan move as he felt this intense pain in his right arm. His entire arm was forcefully snapped. It was so painful that Chu Tian wanted to scream. However, as his eyes met the cold gaze, he could only grit his teeth and force the scream back down. This was because...
During such a situation, if he had screamed, he would die even faster.
He was in such pain that drops of perspiration covered his forehead. Chu Tian then answered the question with trembling voice, "Yes, I did something wrong. I am wanted by the police anyway. Since I am already wanted by the police, I decided to make another deal when I am in Yangzhou and leave this place immediately. Are you Qin Hong's friend? If you are, then I have made a mistake. I will leave Yangzhou immediately. Big Brother, is there anything else that's bothering you? Please tell me."
"Who told you to do this?" Teng Qingshan's voice still sounded emotionless.
"I can't answer this." Chu Tian tried to force a smile as he answered, "This is against the rules…"
"Crack." The left arm was snapped.
The callousness and the arm strength were mentally crushing Chu Tian.
"I told you to answer whenever I ask a question. I do not want to ask again. You know the consequences." Teng Qingshan said indifferently, "Who is Boss Li?!"
"You know?" As soon as the escaped convict Chu Tian heard Teng Qingshan say the words Boss Li, he felt an immense anger. He thought to himself, "You knew? But you are still asking me?" Even though Chu Tian had such thoughts, he didn't dare to say a word. Both of his arms were snapped and crushed. Indeed, Teng Qingshan was too powerful.
"Answer me." Teng Qingshan said.
Chu Tian took a deep breath as he endured the intense pain on the shoulders. "Big Brother, you mustn't kill me if I answer you. If you don't agree, I won't say a word even if you torture me to death." With this, Chu Tian gritted his teeth and glared deadly at Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan stared at Chu Tian coldly. He then replied, "Alright!"
Chu Tian could finally let out a sigh of relief.
In Chu Tian's opinion, such a powerful figure must value his promise.
I was asked by the chairman of Ming Shan Conglomerate, Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan is a famous and powerful figure." Chu Tian said.
"Li Mingshan… Ming Shan Conglomerate." Teng Qingshan kept these two names in mind.
Immediately, he waved his hand and formed his middle finger into the sword finger and pricked the area between Chu Tian's eyebrows. Chu Tian felt a pain in his brain before he fainted. Simultaneously, he stared at Teng Qingshan with fear and hatred. With this, his eyes dimmed.
He hated Teng Qingshan for not keeping his word.
Teng Qingshan glanced coldly at Chu Tian.
Ever since he was seven, he had struggled to survive among piles of dead people. As the most terrifying hitman, he was taught to kill by any means necessary. How could he let his opponent live just because of a promise? Moreover, this person wanted to kill his brother and his sister-in-law. Anyone who could threaten the lives of his family members would never be allowed to exist.
Teng Qingshan then left the house, leaving the dead body and the twisted gun.
"Li Mingshan!"
Teng Qingshan said internally.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true.

Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
