Chapter 1537: Chapter 772: Arrival at Wood Stone Town! (Part 2)

So, as the dawn was breaking, Lin Beichen woke up. But Aixius had slept late last night and was awakened by gunshots halfway through; even though she sensed Lin Beichen getting up, her eyelids felt glued shut and just wouldn’t open.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen felt a bit troubled. Not to mention he wasn’t familiar with the road to Wood Stone Town, even if he knew, he couldn’t possibly leave Aixius alone here.

"Got it."

Suddenly, Lin Beichen had a flash of enlightenment and then walked over to Aixius, softly saying, "I’m going out to take care of something, I’ll be back soon, you rest well."

"No, I want to...get up." Aixius struggled to stand even though her eyes remained closed.

Lin Beichen quickly supported her, gently comforting, "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving, just handling a small matter and I’ll be back."

After finishing, without waiting for Aixius’s response, Lin Beichen hurriedly left. And upon hearing his words, Aixius felt reassured, combined with her exhaustion, she fell back into sleep.

Lin Beichen quietly closed the door and then walked towards the room next door.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Beichen forcefully knocked.

Soon, hurried footsteps sounded from inside, "Who is it, knocking so early in the morning, do you have a death wish?"

The door opened, revealing a ruggedly handsome man, his long wavy hair cascading perfectly over his shoulders.

Judging by appearances, the man was indeed dashing, but compared to Lin Beichen, he fell somewhat short, especially in terms of aura.

Of course, compared to ordinary people, he was undoubtedly a handsome guy.

Upon seeing Lin Beichen, the man’s eyes flickered with surprise, thinking, "Could someone look better than me?"

He then showed an expression of displeasure, thinking this youngster was not only better looking but also waking him with an early knock, purely asking for trouble.

Thus, he cursed at Lin Beichen, "Who are you, kid? I don’t know you. Why are you knocking on my door so early?"

"Don’t tell me you’re a hotel employee."

Lin Beichen slightly raised a corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, saying, "It’s normal you don’t know me because I don’t know you either."

"But soon, you’ll become familiar with me."

The handsome man looked puzzled at Lin Beichen’s words, "Kid, what are you talking about?"

"Was it you who fired shots in the hotel last night?"

Lin Beichen gazed at him with a teasing smile.

"Oh, it was about that." The handsome man’s eyes brightened but soon furrowed again, "Why didn’t you approach me last night about it?"

"Yeah, I fired. So what?" The handsome man appeared unfazed, showing no fear of revealing last night’s events.

"Do you have an issue?"

"I live next door, of course I have an issue." Lin Beichen’s lips curved slightly as he continued, "Let me ask you, do you know the way to Wood Stone Town?"

"Oh? You mean if I know, then you’ll let last night’s incident go?" The handsome man chuckled, "I do know, but why should I tell you?"

"Because you disrupted my sleep last night, you owe me an apology." Hearing the man admit knowing the location, Lin Beichen felt pleased and continued, "Or else..."

The handsome man interrupted, "Or else what?"

"Are you going to get physical?"

As the words left their lips, their eyes turned sharp, filled with an intense desire to fight.

Synchronized, they launched an attack upon each other.

Lin Beichen sent a palm strike directly at the handsome man.

Meanwhile, the handsome man responded with a punch.

Fist and palm collided.

The handsome man was forced back several steps by Lin Beichen’s powerful force.

This time, he showed an expression of disbelief.

Is this guy’s strength really that great?

However, if he knew Lin Beichen hadn’t unleashed full force, holding back intentionally, he’d be even more shocked.

As for Lin Beichen’s restraint?

It’s because he didn’t want to severely injure or kill him; he wanted to make him submit.

Lin Beichen intended for this man to guide him to Wood Stone Town.

Yet, Lin Beichen was somewhat taken aback himself; he hadn’t realized his strength was so powerful. That palm strike, if landed on an ordinary strongman, would have sent him flying, but this man was merely forced back a few steps.

Seems this fellow indeed has some skill.

After repelling the handsome man, Lin Beichen didn’t pause, but unleashed another palm strike.

This palm strike was even swifter and more brutal than the last.

The man sensed the strike’s power, realizing he couldn’t withstand it, quickly rolling to evade it.

After two exchanges, he understood clearly that if it was just a contest of physical prowess, he wasn’t this stranger’s match.

Thus, the handsome man with wavy long hair drew out a pistol from his waist. Yet even with the gun drawn, he felt somewhat aggrieved.

Because previously in encounters, nobody had ever forced him to resort to a weapon.

"You do have some skills, you’re quite strong."

"State your name, I, Li Kui of the Golden Triangle, won’t kill nameless opponents."

Li Kui saw Lin Beichen being aimed at without a trace of panic, revealing a puzzled look.

Generally speaking, anyone not panicking in this scenario is either a fool or a master with hidden skills.

And Lin Beichen was clearly the latter.

Lin Beichen calmly advised, "Better check your magazine."

Li Kui felt an immediate tightness, hurriedly glancing at his gun, realizing the magazine was mysteriously gone.

When did this happen?

Could it have been during their first exchange?

Li Kui couldn’t fathom how terrifying this person was, managing to tamper with his weapon while actively engaging.

"Alright, you win, I’m not your match at all." Li Kui showed nonchalance, abandoning resistance upon realizing inferiority.

"Tell me what you want."

"Take me to Wood Stone Town, and I’ll disregard last night’s disturbance." Lin Beichen stated.

Li Kui froze, seeing Lin Beichen serious, knew he wasn’t lying, responding, "That’s it?"

"Yeah, that’s it, didn’t I say so before?"

Lin Beichen replied exasperatedly.

"Haha." Li Kui laughed awkwardly; he thought Lin Beichen was here causing trouble, improvising an excuse.

"Alright, I’ll take you."

Remembering something, Li Kui added, "I guess we met through a fight, I’m Li Kui, what’s your name?"

"Lin Beichen." Not wanting to waste time, he gestured for Li Kui to follow.

Entering Aixius’s room, Lin Beichen gently picked her up and left the hotel.

Watching Lin Beichen, Li Kui was envious.

Wow, not only is he skilled, but he also has a beautiful girl accompanying him.

Clearly, he misunderstood.

In the car, Lin Beichen and Aixius sat in the rear, while driving was left to Li Kui.

With Lin Beichen so near, Li Kui naturally wouldn’t dare trying anything, unless he had a death wish.

"Let’s go, I have urgent matters, need to reach Wood Stone Town quickly." Lin Beichen said calmly.

Li Kui dared not procrastinate, immediately driving off. Having lost and provoked, he had no choice but to comply.

Before long, Lin Beichen noticed Li Kui’s driving skills were indeed superb, the ride smooth and swift.

Sitting in the back, Lin Beichen could relax, patiently waiting to arrive at the destination.

However, no sooner had they begun the journey, Aixius awoke.

Finding herself in the car, she wasn’t particularly surprised.
