Martial Arts Master in the City

The middle-aged man was cornered once again by the two men in leather jackets, back to the same spot. Of course, since none of the three men spoke out, and the middle-aged man saw that the two leather jacket men had blocked his way out, he obediently returned to his previous corner and sat down, as did the two leather jacket men opposite him.

The restaurant was sizable and quite crowded, naturally creating some noise. As a result, few people noticed the three men.

"Still planning to run?" one of the men in leather jackets looked at the middle-aged man and said in a low voice.

The voice was quiet, but the middle-aged man could hear it clearly. Coincidentally, Ye Xiao and Wangg Yin were sitting not too far away, and if Ye Xiao listened closely, he would also catch what was being said.

"What exactly do you want?" The middle-aged man looked at the leather jacketed men and lowered his voice, saying, "The Dragon Flag isn't with me. It's really not with me anymore. Taking me back won't solve anything."

"You know how we handle people who don't tell the truth!" the other leather jacketed man said.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent.

At this time, Ye Xiao was slightly surprised. Clearly, he hadn't expected these seemingly ordinary people to be connected to the Dragon Flag.

If he hadn't visited the Jiang Family beforehand, he might not have thought it a big deal. But now it was different. He understood the significance of the Dragon Flag.

Naturally, he paid more attention to these three men.

"I only ask you to give me a way out. I don't want this so-called Dragon Flag," the middle-aged man pleaded to the two men in leather jackets.

"That's something we can accept. Don't worry, we don't like killing, but of course, we never let enemies go. I think if you voluntarily return the Dragon Flag, things may not be as bad as you imagine."

The middle-aged man felt a sense of helplessness when he heard this. He truly didn't want to go back. He knew that once he returned to that place, he might never be free again!

But at this moment, he really seemed to have no better choice. Not going back was clearly not an option.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Can we at least finish the meal before we leave?"

"Of course, we're willing to wait until you're ready to go. But if higher-ups think we're taking too long and send someone else, that's beyond our control," the leather jacketed man said coldly.

Obviously, while the leather jacketed man verbally agreed, he was applying both pressure and persuasion.

The middle-aged man ordered a few dishes and a bottle of Jian Nan Chun. It was clear that he was at wits' end, wishing he could just drink himself into oblivion.

However, sometimes drinking doesn't guarantee getting drunk, especially when you desperately want it. Of course, this also depends on one's drinking capacity.

The middle-aged man was a genuine man from the Northern Border, and his drinking capacity was not something ordinary people could match.

Thus, after drinking two-thirds of the Jian Nan Chun alone, he only felt a little dizzy. He was even starting to hate how good he was at drinking before.

A full hour later, he finally finished eating and drinking. Only then did he stand up under the watchful eyes of the two men in leather jackets.

"Let's go," the middle-aged man sighed and said.

After the three men left the dining area, Ye Xiao and Wangg Yin exchanged a glance.

"Let's follow and take a look!" Ye Xiao said.

At this time, as the three men walked to the entrance, one of them went directly to the car, while the other kept an eye on the middle-aged man, clearly monitoring him constantly.

However, just at that moment,

The middle-aged man pulled out a cigarette, preparing to light it. But suddenly, he threw the cigarette towards the man in leather, who instinctively dodged it.

The middle-aged man clearly did this to make the leather jacket man dodge, and then he turned and ran!

The leather jacket man reacted quickly, immediately giving chase!

Originally, the leather jacket man could have caught up very fast, but since this was the hotel entrance and there were many people, he couldn't expose his identity, particularly the fleeing man's identity, so he chased neither too fast nor too slow!

The man ahead, having just consumed alcohol and wearing a thick down jacket, was really hot. Yet, even so, he dared not stop, quickening his steps and sprinting.

However, whether it was drunken stupor or something else, he soon found himself running into a narrow alley.

Seeing the man enter the alley, the leather jacket man immediately slowed his pace. Clearly, entering a less populated alley posed no problem for them.

Sure enough, upon entering the alley, the leather jacket man sped up and within seconds caught up to the middle-aged man, kicking him to the ground!

The middle-aged man fell face-first, his mouth filled with blood, his chin scraped red, as if about to bleed.

"I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back!" The middle-aged man was about to lose his mind. He really didn't want to return. He knew that once he did, he was doomed.

But when he tried to get up, the leather jacket man stomped his back, rendering him immobile.

"Running again? You think you can really get away? Look where you chose; it's a dead end!" the leather jacket man said coldly, looking at the man beneath his foot.

The middle-aged man looked up and saw there really was no way out ahead, just a deep dead end. Clearly, the farther he ran inside, the more trapped he would become!

At this moment, the middle-aged man truly regretted. But what use was regret? That Jian Nan Chun he had didn't help—it seemed to work against him. The only thing he resented was that this wasn't the time for it to be effective. Isn't this a death wish?

"Even if I deliver the Dragon Flag back, those people will surely kill me. They won't trust the people of Yan Country," the middle-aged man roared. "Either way, I'm dead. Just kill me now."

"Sorry, but I'm really not going to kill you. Once we get back, we can report our mission complete," the leather jacket man replied.

"You're just a lackey. Have you forgotten you're also from Yan Country? Don't you know the Dragon Flag's conspiracy? It's meant to destroy the Martial Arts World of Yan Country. You should understand what that means," the middle-aged man continued to shout.

"You're right, but what's that got to do with me? Forgot to tell you, I don't even know what nationality I am now, so spare me the lecture," the leather jacket man responded.

The middle-aged man was in despair. What could he do against such a person? At this point, he truly couldn't expect anyone to save him. This wasn't a movie!
