They hadn't expected the person outside the door to be someone like this.

The people in both live stream rooms also couldn't figure out why this armored man, who had previously let the blue-haired Jiang Ran go, was now forcibly breaking into the four-person 501 room of Yang Kang and the others.

If he wasn't from The Artist's side, but was some other deranged criminal, some other deranged serial killer living in Alice Apartment.

You've set your sights on Yang Kang and the others, and you're starting a hunt, fine, nothing more to say.

But you, you're clearly from The Artist's side. The Artist has already given his word, guaranteeing the safe departure of those four from Alice Apartment, so why are you pulling this stunt?

[Could it actually still be The Artist's instruction? He never intended to let Yang Kang and the other four leave in the first place?]

Fairy Sister typed.

Domineering Female CEO: [No, I don't think that's likely. The Artist wants to get that 150 million, and he's already guaranteed it among his gang members. Even if he didn't want the money, wouldn't the others want it?]

[Besides, killing at this moment has no artistic sense at all.]

Evil Wolf: [Who cares? Just keep watching, won't we find out?]

Building No. 2, Room 501.

It was now a little past six in the evening.

If it were summer, the sky would still be bright, not dark yet.

But now it was already winter, not even autumn-winter anymore.

Therefore, at this hour, Nancheng City had already darkened.

Including Alice Apartment.

Thus, inside Room 501 of Building No. 2 in Alice Apartment, the living room lights were brightly lit, while outside the window was pitch black.

Due to the previous buzzing of the chainsaw, the voice-controlled lights in the 5th-floor hallway had also been on continuously, but now, because the chainsaw was turned off and that person had entered.

There was no sound to act as a trigger.

So, the hallway outside 501 was also a stretch of darkness.

And the darkness of the hallway seemed to extend into 501 itself.

It shrouded the body of the armored man standing inside the doorway, and even the faceplate area of his helmet, in shadow.

The spot where he stood now seemed like a lawless zone.

Even though both sides were bathed in the living room light.

But if someone stood in the middle-right position between the two parties, they could clearly perceive.

The area where Yang Kang and the others stood was brightly lit, exuding light.

Whereas the area of the armored man opposite was distinctly dim, gray, and hazy, as if from a different world compared to Yang Kang's side.

"Who are you? What business do you have with us?"

Despite knowing the other party meant no good, Yang Kang still asked this, hoping to clarify the identity of the person opposite.

To seek a breakthrough point.

"Who I am is not important. The person I came to find today is only one, and that's him."

The armored man raised his right hand, encased in iron armor.

It pointed unerringly at Wang Zhong, who was to Yang Kang's left.

Wang Zhong was stunned: "Me? Do I know you? Or have you set your sights on me?"

The armored man's raised right hand withdrew, rejoining his left hand to grip the chainsaw tightly again.

"Porsche, one man, three women. Remember?"

Wang Zhong's previously puzzled expression was instantly illuminated by these words.

He asked, utterly incredulous: "You... you're that man who didn't die?"

The armored man chuckled: "Thanks to you, I indeed didn't die."

"What's going on? Between you two?"

Yang Kang asked Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong's expression turned grave: "That was many years ago. I was driving with three girls, heading somewhere, when we passed a relatively desolate road. The car suddenly had a flat tire, so we stopped there."

"Then, a car came towards us, with two men and one woman. We thought they were just ordinary passersby, never imagining they were a gang of highway robbers."

"Fortunately, at that time, I and one of the girls had firearms. We shot and killed those three people."

"Then, at that moment, two more men suddenly rushed out from the roadside bushes."

"We fired again."

"Among them, the youngest man was also shot, but was lucky and didn't die."

Yang Kang didn't ask Wang Zhong why he and that girl had guns back then; that wasn't the key point. The key point was whether this person's purpose now was simply pure revenge?

At this moment, Wang Zhong's face was extremely grim. He probably never expected to encounter someone from that incident all those years ago here.

The armored man's voice turned cold: "That's how it happened. So, heaven rewards the diligent. You've actually fallen into my hands. Do you know how excited I was inside when I saw you at last night's welcome party?"

"Unfortunately, only you are here. Where is that girl now? Where is she currently?"

Wang Zhong's hand was trembling. Despite trying hard to suppress it, the shaking was visibly uncontrollable. As he adjusted his glasses, even the glasses shook from the contact.

"She... she's not even in the country anymore. She's abroad."

"Oh? Is that so? In that case, are you prepared to take the first step ahead?"

Wang Zhong didn't answer.

Kong Haoxia raised his hand at this moment, his voice quavering: "Since you're here to take revenge on him? That means it has nothing to do with us, right? Can we leave?"

A voice emerged from within the hard, fully-enclosed silver metal helmet:

"I am not a deranged person who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately. I only have a grudge against Wang Zhong. Unrelated people can leave now. Don't stay here and get in the way."

"Of course, if you are determined to help him, you can all stay together."

Hearing this good news, Kong Haoxia immediately looked at Yang Kang, as if waiting for Yang Kang to make the decision.

Yang Kang made his decision in less than three seconds. Before leaving, he turned his head and said to Wang Zhong: "No choice, I can't help you." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

True to his word, the armored man stepped aside from the doorway, allowing Yang Kang, Kong Haoxia, and his girlfriend Hu Yan to leave the place.

And as these three departed, Wang Zhong's expression grew increasingly grim.

His hand trembled even more violently, the shaking spreading to other parts of his body.

This was the instinctive human fear of death.

Even though Wang Zhong had appeared mature, intelligent, and cautious during his two days residing in Alice Apartment.

But before death, everyone is equal. No one is unafraid of dying.

Even though he was still the director of a private hospital, accustomed to seeing life and death.

But what he saw were the lives and deaths of others, not his own.

When anything involves oneself, especially critical matters, few people can remain calm, as composed as when analyzing others.

"Can I use money to buy my life?"

Wang Zhong ultimately still did not want to die.

"If you can use money to resurrect my woman and my three companions, then I'll let you use money to buy your life."

The armored man pulled the starter cord of the chainsaw. The metal chainsaw roared, thirsting for blood.

Seeing the armored man holding the chainsaw step closer and closer towards him, Wang Zhong, holding a bone-chopping kitchen knife, retreated step by step.

He continuously threw objects within his reach, like teacups, his phone, chargers, chairs, hurling them at the ever-approaching armored man.

But the armored man was like an immovable rock, unshakable.

Those things hitting the armored man were like tickling him.
