Chapter 1168: Chapter 1183: Iron Waist’s Threat

Right, just as Iron Waist turned around, Uro Iji suddenly drew his gun from his waist, aimed it at Iron Waist’s forehead.

Bam, the gun went off, but it wasn’t a headshot—the bullet grazed Iron Waist’s ear, creating a bleeding hole in his earlobe. For Iron Blood, this minor injury was like nothing, yet he was scared stiff, not daring to move, staring at the dark gun barrel in front of him. Iron Waist’s men also stopped upon hearing the gunshot.

"Move again and I’ll kill you," Uro Iji said coldly as he looked at Iron Waist.

As per usual circumstances, Uro Iji would have blown Iron Waist’s head off with a shot, but the situation was different now, with Iron Waist and so many of his men present. Uro Iji was internally injured, and if he killed Iron Waist, the others might attack together. Even if he had exceptional shooting skills, he couldn’t kill them all within seconds, so he could only threaten the opponent.

Iron Waist looked at Uro Iji, did not move, instead sneered, "Ha, didn’t expect it, you won after all."

"Good that you know," Uro Iji replied coldly.

"But what does it matter if you won?" Iron Waist seemed indifferent.

"Don’t move, I’ll warn you again; move, and I’ll kill you!" Uro Iji threatened again, aiming his gun at Iron Waist.

"I have over ten brothers; kill me and they won’t let you go. You can’t escape; otherwise, you would have killed me already, right?" Iron Waist replied with a smile.

"Ha, really? If you don’t believe me, you can test my patience. See if I dare to kill you. Even if I die, I can take some down with me. It’s worth it," Uro Iji replied with a sneer.

Gray Wolf, crouching outside the window, felt a sting—what was once martial arts turned into a gunfight—Iron Waist, who held the advantage, was suddenly subdued by a handgun.

"Gray Wolf, you haven’t forgotten our bet, right?" Golden Wolf said, grinning.

"You..." Gray Wolf looked at Golden Wolf in anger and indignation, "This, this is unfair! Uro Iji cheated, couldn’t win the fight, and resorted to using a gun!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Come on, at the brink of life and death, who cares about rules? We didn’t say guns weren’t allowed; we said whoever wins last, and I’ve always said Uro Iji has a backup plan. You lost, so you have to listen to me in all matters from now on."

"No way, this round doesn’t count, doesn’t count," Gray Wolf waved, obviously trying to renege.

"Damn, you’re going to cheat?" Golden Wolf glared at Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf quickly smiled to placate him, "Don’t be hasty, let’s calm down. By your logic, Iron Waist isn’t dead, so he hasn’t lost, right?"

"Hmph, damn, let’s wait and see," Golden Wolf said.

"Haha, let’s wait and see."

Meanwhile, inside, Uro Iji still had his gun pointed at Iron Waist, and Iron Waist showed no sign of fear.

"Uro Iji, do you think you’ve won like this?" Iron Waist said with a smile.

"What do you think? Do you think having more people is enough to win against my bullets?" Uro Iji sneered.

"Haha, I’m not that stupid. If I guessed correctly, you wouldn’t care about your sister’s safety, right?" Iron Waist replied with a grin.

Upon hearing the word sister, Uro Iji’s eyes widened. He gripped the gun tight, aiming it at Iron Waist’s forehead, "What have you done to my sister?"

"Haha, Mr. Iji, no need to be so tense. With such an adorable sister, how could I bear to harm her? She’s just temporarily protected by my men," Iron Waist replied smiling.

"Damn, this bastard actually captured Fangzi?" Upon hearing Iron Waist’s words, Gray Wolf was evidently enraged too. Besides Mei Niang, Fangzi was Gray Wolf’s other true love; with Iron Waist capturing his true love, how could he tolerate this?

"Don’t rush in; let’s see how it plays out first," Golden Wolf stopped Gray Wolf as he was about to head in.

"Do you believe I won’t shoot you dead?" Uro Iji, filled with murderous intent, seemed ready to shoot Iron Waist.

For Uro Iji, Fangzi’s life was more important than his own; he couldn’t let his sister suffer any harm.

"Haha, shoot me dead? Alright, go ahead. Killing me can make your sister accompany me, so I won’t be lonely underground. Come on, shoot," Iron Waist challenged, brimming with confidence, knowing Uro Iji wouldn’t dare pull the trigger.

Uro Iji calmed down; he couldn’t act impulsively. He needed to rescue his sister and ensure Fangzi’s safety.

"Spit it out, what do you want?" Uro Iji asked calmly.

"Haha, that’s better. Discussing calmly is good for everyone. I said before, I hold no grudge against you or your sister; my target is the DNA-catalyzing enzyme. As long as you hand it over, we won’t harm your sister."

Uro Iji glared at Iron Waist, "I agree to give you the catalytic enzyme, but it isn’t with me; it’s with Jinye. Release my sister first, and I’ll have Jinye hand it over to you."

Upon hearing this, Iron Waist laughed, "Brother Iji, are you treating me like a three-year-old? I don’t care whether you have the enzyme or not; if you don’t, I’ll kill your sister."

"You dare," Blue veins popped on Uro Iji’s forehead, his emotions overwhelmingly intense.

Iron Waist paid no heed to Uro Iji’s intense emotions, showing no fear, "You think I won’t dare?"

"You..." Uro Iji inhaled sharply, exhaled strongly, looked at Iron Waist, and eventually nodded in surrender. No choice, Fangzi held immeasurable importance over anything else, even above the catalytic enzyme. In fact, nothing could compare to the significance of his sister.

Uro Iji could only say to Iron Waist, "Fine, I agree to hand over the catalytic enzyme, but I must first see my sister. I must guarantee her safety."

"Brother Iji, we’re people of our word; you can hand over the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, and then we’ll give you your sister," Iron Waist said.

"No, I need to see my sister first; otherwise, we’ll all die together," Uro Iji insisted firmly.

Iron Waist nodded, "Fine, she’s locked in the basement. I’ll call my men to bring her up now."

Iron Waist took out his phone, made a call, said a few words, and then hung up. Meanwhile, Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf’s figures vanished from the tenth-floor window, entering the ninth floor through the window.
