Chapter 5: Heads or Tails
Fortunately, George came over to mediate at this time.
“Let Landi sit by the window; you can sit in the front passenger seat.”
While speaking, he kept winking at Billy.
The meaning was obvious: they still needed Landi to lead the way now. Once they confirmed the location of his home, wouldn't he be at the mercy of the three of them?
“Shit.”
Billy ultimately swallowed his anger.
George smiled again: “Get in the car. I’ll talk to Billy.”
Xue Landi didn't express any opinion about what had just happened. He looked around at his surroundings before getting into the car.
As soon as Xue Landi sat down, he was hit by an overwhelming smell of marijuana.
Looking down, he also found a pipe for smoking marijuana.
This was even better; it made the deaths of the three of them even less connected to him.
George, who was in the front seat, asked after getting in: “Tell me where your house is.”
“On the outskirts of town, near the coastline. I’ll give you directions.”
The car started, and just like George’s mood, it was very excited.
As it drove towards the intersection, it even performed a thrilling drift. The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was particularly jarring in the quiet town.
“Woohoo!”
Robert excitedly yelled.
Billy also turned his head, seemingly wanting to see Xue Landi’s terrified expression.
But unfortunately, Xue Landi had been expressionless the entire time since getting into the car. He even pulled a coin from his pocket.
After the car officially started, he tossed it into the air and then held it in his palm.
“Billy, I just flipped a coin. Do you guess it’s heads or tails?”
“What trick are you playing?”
George didn’t like Xue Landi’s attitude, but being stared at like that made him feel a bit guilty and uneasy.
“I guess it’s tails. What’s wrong!”
Xue Landi opened his palm, and the coin in his hand was heads up.
Xue Landi frowned.
George had given the exact opposite answer. From this, it seemed he must have a rebellious streak and was deliberately going against him.
If he wasn’t eliminated, he would definitely cause trouble in the future.
This person must not be kept alive.
“I think it should be heads.”
Robert, sitting on the other side of the back seat, spoke, pulling out a can of beer, opening it, and taking a sip.
Heads.
Xue Landi narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect this black guy to accidentally guess the result of his toss. Even if it was a lucky guess, it showed he had good fortune, and he also happened to be hostile towards him.
If he wasn't eliminated, he would be difficult to deal with once he became successful in the future.
This person must not be kept alive.
Billy also took a can of beer from Robert’s hand, then asked impatiently: “What’s the result, heads or tails?”
But Robert was not in a hurry: “Wait a moment, George, do you support me or Billy? Choose heads or tails.”
George, who was driving, laughed and said: “I won’t choose either heads or tails. Why can’t it just be in the middle?”
Xue Landi raised an eyebrow.
Damn it, he could choose such an unexpected answer, an outcome even he hadn't thought of. With such wild imagination, if any accident occurred in the town later, he might even connect it to him.
Too much deviation from control is not good.
This person must not be kept alive.
Billy also laughed: “George, you’re always so imaginative. I bet Landi is trying to make the coin stand on its edge right now, haha.”
Robert had a mischievous smile: “Landi, quickly tell me it’s heads up, or you’re going to suffer a bit!”
Xue Landi casually tossed the coin onto the floor, then bent down to pick it up, simultaneously avoiding the town’s security cameras.
Billy’s expression in the front seat was annoyed: “Damn it, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear us asking you a question?”
And Xue Landi’s expression changed as he straightened up again.
They were past the surveillance range, and the beginner’s protection period was over.
Now they had also left Midtown, and there were only scattered residents around. Moreover, at this time, there wasn't even a single passing car.
“The town is really quiet, isn’t it?”
Xue Landi said to himself, rolling up his sleeves and taking off his watch, placing it aside.
George, who was driving, also noticed Xue Landi’s change.
You know, the old Xue Landi used to speak hesitantly and stammeringly. How could he suddenly change so much?
“Landi, you look very different now. What are you going to do by rolling up your sleeves? Do you want to practice boxing?”
“Come on, George, look how thin his arms are. He probably couldn’t even stab through my skin with a knife.”
“Hehe, indeed.”
Billy in the front seat also let out a sneer.
After George issued a warning, he saw the watch Landi had taken off and felt it was time to curb his arrogance, so he threatened him.
“Landi, I think your watch is pretty good. Hand it over, let me play with it.”
Xue Landi slowly raised his head, looking directly into George’s eyes through the rearview mirror.
“George, I think your mother is also pretty good. When can I play with her?”
“Are you kidding?”
George slammed on the brakes, stopping the car, then angrily turned his head.
“Heh heh, tonight, no one’s pleading will work. I’m going to punch you to death!”
George furiously unbuckled his seatbelt and then stormed out of the car.
“Whoa, whoa. You’re in trouble, Landi. You actually dared to provoke George.”
The shocked Billy reacted, his face full of schadenfreude.
He had wanted to teach this ungrateful fellow a lesson since the beginning.
Robert on one side also shook his head: “Looks like we’ll have to find a new punching bag. You definitely won’t live past tonight.”
But neither of them made any extra moves. After all, in their eyes, how could the weakling Xue Landi be a match for George, who was on the school football team?
After getting out of the car, George’s expression was ferocious. He aggressively came to the side and forcefully opened the back passenger door.
“Get out! I’m going to kill you today.”
George reached out and grabbed Xue Landi’s collar, trying to drag him out of the car.
But Xue Landi was faster. As his collar was grabbed, he quickly reached out and pinched George’s Adam’s apple, then squeezed hard. George suddenly gagged, and the strength in his hands loosened considerably.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xue Landi’s other hand reached for George’s waist, then he kicked him in the crotch.
Although it was difficult to build up force in the car, for this body part, his strength was already sufficient.
George obviously trembled all over, falling to the roadside first, protecting his lower body and curling up. But because his throat was hit, he couldn't even let out a cry of pain, only continuously gagging.
“What?”
Robert on one side hadn’t reacted yet.
Xue Landi immediately attacked, gripping the switchblade he had just taken from George’s waist with both hands, and forcefully stabbed Robert in the heart.
Robert instinctively reached out to block, but the sharpened small knife cut across his arm and ultimately pierced into his body.
“Can it pierce through?”
Xue Landi frantically twisted the knife handle, confirming that the internal organs had been mangled, then quickly pulled it out.
“Ah!”
Robert only managed to let out a brief scream before his life slowly faded away.
Billy in the front seat still maintained a shocked expression. Everything had happened too quickly. From the moment George opened the back door, only about three seconds had passed in total, and already one was dead and one was injured.
And by the time he also realized the danger, it was too late.
Xue Landi was now fighting with increasing ferocity. The moment he pulled out the knife, he stabbed it into Billy’s throat. The speed of his knife swing was much more precise, steady, ruthless, and accurate.
It has to be said that George’s knife had done a great service, easily piercing into Billy’s neck.
“Hmph.”
Billy reached out to pull the knife, but Xue Landi pressed down again, and only then did he unwillingly breathe his last.
Then Xue Landi took out brass knuckles from Robert’s other side and put them on his hand.
He got out of the car and came to the roadside, approaching George’s side.
“Your mother is truly charming, but unfortunately, I don’t like used cars.”
After saying that, he aimed two punches at the fallen George’s neck. George immediately stopped breathing.
Then Xue Landi dragged the already dead George, pulling him into the back seat of the car, and closed the back passenger door.
“Alright, it’s over.”
He didn't even need to use magic for assistance.
Xue Landi opened the driver’s side door and cautiously looked around. From the only lit house nearby, he could hear the sounds of children playing and parents scolding them.
No one noticed what was happening inside the small car.
“It’s still not entirely safe. What if someone is skilled in necromancy?”
So, Xue Landi dipped his hand into the blood flowing from Billy’s neck and drew a lightning talisman on his palm.
He alternately patted it on the heads of the three people. Electric light flashed, and black smoke rose, indicating that their souls were now completely scattered.
