Chapter 83 Poison

  A man with a disheveled appearance and covered in wounds slowly emerged at the doorway.

  Jack's eyes locked in place, his heart racing out of control, and standing at the door was unmistakably Lin San.

  Lin San gave Jack a cold glance and slowly walked into the room with raised feet.

  Jack subconsciously backed away, his eyes filled with fear.

  "Jack will host, didn't manage to blow me up, aren't you very disappointed?" Lin San said coldly.

  "It's... uh, no, no, I'm not disappointed..." Jack slowly backed away, his body shaking uncontrollably.

  "Hmph!" Lin San let out a cold snort and kicked Jack's abdomen with one foot.

  Jack let out a miserable cry and his body flew out, hitting the wall before slowly sliding down to the ground.

  Lin San's face turned gloomy: "Dare to use explosives to plot against me, you're really looking for death!!" Thinking of how he almost got blown up by the explosives just now, Lin San's heart was burning with rage.

  At this time, Jack, who was lying on the ground, slowly stretched his right hand towards his waist, because there was a pistol in his waist.

  Lin San seemed to guess Jack's intention and narrowed his eyes: "If you want to live a little longer, it's best to be honest with me."

  When Jack heard Lin San's words, his body suddenly stopped, and his hand, which had been reaching into his pocket, slowly withdrew.

  Lin San walked over to the sofa by the wall and sat down, propping up his legs, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff: "Crawl over here."

  Jack was taken aback and stared blankly at Lin San.

  "I let you crawl over, don't you have ears?!" Lin San's face sank.

  Jack twitched at the corner of his mouth, slowly propped himself up and crawled to Lin San's feet, hanging his head low, not saying a word.

  He spat out a mouthful of smoke and Lin San kicked Jack's shoulder without warning, instantly kicking Jack into a somersault.

  Jack let out a pained cry and it took him quite a while to catch his breath.

  "Not bad, huh?" Lin San flicked his cigarette ash.

  "Cough...cough...cough..." Jack coughed a few times, panting heavily and said: "I...what do you want to do with me."

  Lin San glanced at Jack's red face: "Tell me, why did you send someone to assassinate me? I don't think I've ever offended you before?"

  "I..." Jack opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for some reason he swallowed it back.

  "Bang!" Lin San picked up the ashtray on the tea table and heavily smashed it onto Jack's forehead.

  "Ah!" Jack clutched at his bleeding forehead and let out a loud wail: "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, don't hit me again!"

  Lin San threw the ashtray on the tea table, leaned back against the sofa and gazed quietly at Jack.

  "It was Li Danyan who asked me to assassinate you, it really has nothing to do with me." Jack explained the whole thing clearly.

  "Li Danyan?" Lin San furrowed his brow, carefully searching through his mind, but still couldn't recall who Li Danyan was: "Who is Li Danyan? I don't seem to know him."

  Jack glanced at Lin San and said, "According to Li Danyan, you seemed to have given him a good scolding at the airport, making him lose face in front of his friends..."

  "Airport?" Lin San suddenly remembered, that's right, when he was on his way to the United States by plane, a young man with a flat head teased the flight attendant, and in a fit of anger, he went forward to teach the young man a lesson. Later, at the airport gate, Lin San also fixed the young man who came to seek revenge again, and at that time, the young man was so scared that he urinated his pants.

  Seeing Lin San frowning and remaining silent, Jack also instinctively shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

  After a while, Lin San raised his head and looked at Jack kneeling on the ground: "What does that Li Danyang look like?"

  Jack hastily described Li Danyan's appearance features.

  After listening to Jack's description, Lin San nodded secretly: the Li Dayan in Jack's mouth was indeed that flat-headed young man. He didn't expect this Li Dayan to be so vengeful and actually hire someone to assassinate him. It was really despicable. At that time, he shouldn't have let Li Dayan off so easily.

  "Big... big brother, that Li Danyan and I had a few encounters, he's just an ordinary friend, nothing special. Two days ago, Li Danyan came to me and asked me to help him kill someone. At first, I disagreed, although I'm involved in the underworld, I'm not someone who takes lives lightly... but..." Jack paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued: "Unexpectedly, Li Danyan pulled out 300,000 US dollars on the spot... I..."

  "Are you moved?" Lin San said with a expressionless face.

  Jack's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he nodded slightly. 3 million US dollars was not a small sum, Jack had also taken on assassination contracts before, but the prices were not high. This time, Li Danyan offered 3 million US dollars at once, and the person to be assassinated was just an ordinary little figure, which made Jack somewhat moved. Unexpectedly, Jack's momentary greed brought him a chaotic devil king.

  "No matter what the reason is, you sent someone to assassinate me and then fantasized about blowing me up to death, it's really despicable!" Lin San flicked out the burnt-out cigarette butt in his hand.

  Jack's face changed: "I... I know I was wrong, please, spare me..."

  Lin San's face turned cold, and a thread of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

  Jack saw that Lin San really had murderous intentions, and he was suddenly scared out of his wits. He kept kowtowing to Lin San: "Big brother, please, don't kill me. I still have parents to support above me, and below me, I have a wife and children who depend on me for survival. Please, spare my life just this once..."

  "Some mistakes are unforgivable." Lin San was unmoved by Jack's plea for mercy.

  "Big brother... as long as you spare me, I'll give you all my money." Jack said, then pulled out a delicate bank card from his body and placed it on the tea table: "This is a Swiss bank's gold card, with $1 billion US dollars on it, that's all my assets."

  Lin San's expression changed slightly when he heard the phrase "10 billion US dollars".

  "Big brother, I still have several villas and a few good cars, all of which can be given to you..." Jack spared no effort in offering up all the wealth he had accumulated over the years in order to save his life.

  Lin San curled up the corner of his mouth and didn't say a word.

  "Big brother, big brother, please spare my life, I really know I was wrong, I won't dare to trouble you again, big brother..." Jack's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely: "Big brother, as long as you spare my life, I'll do whatever you say, even if it means following the orders of the Heavenly Murder Sect."

  "After the Tian Sha Association, will you really listen to my leadership?" Lin San's eyes condensed, and he was obviously moved. The Tian Sha Association is a top-notch gang in the entire country of M, with strong strength. If it can be really brought under control, it will be a great help for Lin San's future development.

  "Jack nodded his head: 'I'm telling you, really, I can swear...'", Jack said, raising his hand.

  Lin Sansheng interrupted Jack's words with a cold tone: "I never believe in oaths."

  Jack was stunned, his mouth agape: "Big brother, everything I said was true..."

  Lin San stretched out his hand into his bosom and fumbled around, finally pulling out a blackish round pellet: "You take this pill."

  "What is this?" Jack's face changed color:

  "My own secret poison, when it takes effect, can cause internal organs to rot and bleed from all seven orifices." Lin San said calmly.

  After listening to Lin San's explanation, Jack's eyes showed a hint of fear, and his body involuntarily retreated backwards.

  "But don't worry, this poison won't take effect until a year later." Lin San glanced at Jack's pale face.

  "It takes a year to take effect?" Jack's heart calmed down slightly upon hearing that it wasn't an instant-acting poison.

  Lin San handed a black pill to Jack: "As long as you take this pill, I will believe that everything you say is true and I won't take your life."

  Looking at the black pill in front of him, Jack's face showed a hint of hesitation. Earlier, Jack had promised so many conditions just to save his life, not because he really wanted to obey Lin San's orders afterwards. But now the situation was different. If Jack really took this pill himself, he would have to surrender to Lin San from then on, at least for a year, and obey him unconditionally.

  Lin San didn't urge him on, but instead quietly gazed at Jack.

  Jack thought for a while, then gritted his teeth: "I'll eat it!" He reached out and took the black pill from Lin San's palm, opened his mouth and swallowed it: "Cough cough cough..." Perhaps he had eaten too hastily, Jack was choking with coughs.

  "Get up, don't kneel on the ground." Lin San pointed to the sofa beside him: "Come and sit down." As he spoke, Lin San lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

  Jack didn't stop coughing for a long time, and after panting heavily, he slowly got up from the ground with a trembling body. He sat down carefully beside Lin San, his head slightly lowered, looking dejected. Anyone who had swallowed a timed poison pill would feel extremely uncomfortable in their heart.

  Seeing Jack's dejected appearance, Lin San couldn't help but feel a little amused. He secretly cursed Jack as an idiot. The black pill that Jack had eaten earlier was not some kind of timed poison, but rather a mud pill that Lin San had rubbed off his own chest. In order to make Jack obey him wholeheartedly, Lin San had come up with the idea of using a "fake poison" to deceive Jack. For now, it seemed like the effect was pretty good.

  After taking a drag on his cigarette, Lin San said: "There's something I want to remind you of."

  Jack raised his head and looked at Lin San in a daze.

  "The pill you swallowed was made by me using 98 kinds of poison, the secret recipe is passed down from my family. Modern medical equipment can't detect the toxicity of the pill, so I advise you not to try to remove the toxin from your body through modern medicine, or it will cause unnecessary trouble." Lin San was warning Jack and also reminding him that although modern medicine has advanced, it still cannot eliminate the poison in his body, so he should just follow my orders obediently.

  Lin San's words completely extinguished Jack's last glimmer of hope, and he instantly became disheartened.

  "Don't worry, as long as you honestly listen to my orders, I'll give you the antidote in a year. On the contrary, if you dare to play tricks on me, then wait for your seven orifices to bleed to death in a year." Lin San's voice was very calm, but his tone was somewhat chilly.

  Jack's body trembled and he hastily expressed his attitude to Lin San, saying that from now on he would absolutely obey Lin San's orders one hundred percent.

  Seeing Jack's obedient appearance, Lin San felt very satisfied and his tone of speech also became much milder.

  Jack is a clever man, since there's no way to get rid of Lin San's control, he tries his best to win Lin San's favor and strive for the antidote one year later. Seeing that Lin San is seriously injured, Jack suggests sending him to the hospital for treatment.

  Lin San waved his hand and refused: "No need, I just have some superficial wounds on my body, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest. By the way, do you have gauze and antiseptic here?"

  "Alright, I'll go get it for you." Jack nodded and turned around to retrieve a first-aid kit from a cabinet. He personally cleaned and bandaged Lin's wounds.
