Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 316: Birthday Gift

In the brief moment Lin Kuang was stunned, Fan Molun's voice had already faded into the distance. Even if Lin Kuang wanted to give chase, it was unlikely he could catch him, and it would be a significant waste of time. Besides, Liu Shilin's birthday was just around the corner, and Lin Kuang didn't want to miss the first birthday they would celebrate together.

More importantly, the one-armed Fan Molun no longer posed a threat. Losing an arm would cut his strength by more than half. How could an opponent with only fifty percent of his power possibly be a match for Lin Kuang?

With that thought, Lin Kuang glanced at Sun Hai, who was still clinging desperately to life. At that moment, Sun Hai's eyes were filled with profound terror as he looked at Lin Kuang.

I knew he was strong, but I never imagined he was *this* powerful. This is completely beyond anything I could have expected. In my mind, Fan Molun was an existence you could only look up to in awe, yet Lin Kuang defeated him and even severed his arm! If Fan Molun hadn't escaped so quickly, he would most likely be dead right now! The thought filled Sun Hai with terror, and his gaze toward Lin Kuang was now one of pure dread.

"There's no point in keeping you around. Die," Lin Kuang said indifferently after a final glance at Sun Hai.

Without waiting for a response, Lin Kuang thrust his sword, Nameless, straight through Sun Hai's throat. Sun Hai died instantly. His eyes remained wide open in death, fixed on Lin Kuang as if in disbelief that he had been killed so unceremoniously.

Sun Hai was useless to me anyway. A small fry like him wouldn't know anything important, so whether he lives or dies makes no difference.

He checked the time. It was less than ten minutes to midnight. Lin Kuang quickly sheathed Nameless and hurried back to Lin Guo'er's villa.

When Lin Kuang returned to the villa, he found the group of women chatting as they comforted Liu Shilin. Even those who had been tipsy were sobering up, reassuring Liu Shilin and telling her not to worry.

"Hey, beautiful ladies, I'm back!" Lin Kuang announced with a smile as he strode into the room.

Smiles bloomed on everyone's faces when they saw him, especially Liu Shilin, the little Witch, and Lin Guo'er. They had been the most worried about him, and seeing him return safely filled their hearts with joy.

"Are you alright?" Liu Shilin asked, her eyes falling on his torn clothes.

"I'm fine, not a scratch on me. Just ripped my clothes a little, it's no big deal," Lin Kuang said with a laugh. To prove his point, he stretched his arms and legs and jumped a few times, which made the women erupt in laughter.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to change. You all get the cake ready. Our Shilin's birthday is about to begin!" Lin Kuang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the women nodded and bustled about to get everything ready. As they did, Lin Kuang secretly gave Lin Guo'er a meaningful look before heading upstairs. A moment later, Lin Guo'er made a casual excuse and followed him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

By the time she arrived, Lin Kuang had already changed into fresh clothes.

"What did you need me for?" Lin Guo'er asked curiously from his doorway.

"Do you have a laptop? I need to borrow one," Lin Kuang said, a mysterious glint in his eye.

"A laptop? What for? By the way, did you get a gift for Shilin?" Lin Guo'er asked, puzzled, as she headed off to get it.

"Heh heh, don't worry. It's going to be a huge surprise. Just you wait," Lin Kuang said cryptically.

Hearing this, Lin Guo'er didn't press him. Shilin's birthday was only a few minutes away, so the answer would be revealed soon enough. She went to her room, grabbed a laptop, and handed it to him.

Lin Kuang immediately booted up the laptop as he and Lin Guo'er walked back downstairs. The other women watched him descend with the laptop, looking at him with puzzled expressions, unable to guess what he was planning. Liu Shilin and the little Witch were just as curious, wondering what he was up to.

Lin Kuang offered no explanation, simply waiting quietly with everyone else.

As the clock struck midnight, the lights in the room went out, leaving only the warm glow of the birthday candles.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Lin Kuang and the others sang joyfully.

Liu Shilin was deeply touched as she listened to her friends sing. She was especially happy that Lin Kuang was here to celebrate with her.

"Quick, blow out the candles! Big Brother Kuang, you and Sister Shilin should blow them out together!" the adorable Duoduo chirped with a smile.

At this, Susu and the others chimed in with teasing cheers. As Duoduo and Susu egged them on, Liu Shilin's pretty face blushed. The candlelight gave her an exquisite, dreamlike beauty.

"Ahem, well, I'm quite thick-skinned. Since you're all insisting I blow out the candles with my Shilin, I won't be polite!" Lin Kuang announced brazenly, standing beside Liu Shilin.

"Yay, yay! Go on, hurry!" Duoduo and Susu clapped their hands, giddy with excitement.

"My dear Shilin, let's blow them out together," Lin Kuang said cheerfully, holding the laptop in his left hand and wrapping his right arm around her slender waist.

Hearing this, Liu Shilin shot Lin Kuang a playful glare but didn't object. She had tacitly accepted it. After all, once tonight was over, she would be his woman.

"Close your eyes and make a wish," Liu Shilin whispered.

Lin Kuang dutifully closed his eyes as well, and the two made their wishes.

A moment later, they opened their eyes almost in unison. They shared a look and, in one breath, blew out the flickering candles. As soon as the flames were extinguished, the bright lights in the room came back on.

"Happy birthday, Sister Shilin!" Duoduo said cheerfully, handing her a small box.

Liu Shilin smiled and gladly accepted it. Then, Susu, Guo'er, the little Witch, and the other women all presented their gifts.

Once all the women had given Liu Shilin their presents, all eyes turned to Lin Kuang. Knowing his relationship with her, they were all extremely curious.

Liu Shilin was no exception. He said he had a surprise for me… I wonder what it is?
