As soon as these words were spoken, Li Cheng shuddered.
He trembled as he turned around, only to see Lin Fan holding an iron sword against his neck.
"Lin— Lin Fan?!" Li Cheng's face filled with terror as he staggered back two steps. Losing his balance, he fell straight to the ground.
Seeing Li Cheng's reaction, Lin Fan couldn't help but sneer.
"What did you just say? You said… I don't dare to kill you?" He looked at Li Cheng with mockery in his eyes.
Li Cheng was immediately at a loss for words. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, plunging into silence.
The man in glasses standing nearby began trembling as well. His back pressed against the wall, and his heart pounded in fear.
He knew—this time, they were doomed.
Li Cheng might be stupid, but he wasn't.
He understood that Lin Fan wasn't afraid of the Federation at all. The only reason Lin Fan hadn't killed Li Cheng yet was to avoid causing too much trouble on the forum.
Otherwise, for someone like Lin Fan, killing Li Cheng meant nothing.
The confidence in Lin Fan's eyes wasn't fake. He truly didn't fear retaliation from the Federation.
Lin Fan slowly approached Li Cheng, pressing the cold iron sword against his neck. The chilling touch made Li Cheng shiver.
"Do you know? Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant." Lin Fan's gaze was indifferent as he lightly patted Li Cheng's face with the iron sword.
Hearing this, Li Cheng felt a surge of anger. He was a dignified Federation Research Division Director, yet he was being humiliated like this by Lin Fan. How could he tolerate it?
Clenching his fists, his eyes gleamed with ferocity.
"So what? Do you dare to kill me? I have the entire Federation behind me. If you kill me, you'll be making an enemy of the entire Federation. Do you have the guts to do that?"
Lin Fan found his words amusing.
He didn't expect this fool to genuinely believe that he wouldn't dare to kill him.
It seemed that letting him die too easily would be a waste.
He's going to play around with him for a bit.
Lin Fan stepped on Li Cheng's chest and put the iron sword back into his backpack.
Seeing this, Li Cheng thought Lin Fan was truly afraid. He immediately burst into laughter.
"So what if I've plotted against you multiple times? You still don't dare to kill me, do you?" Seeing Lin Fan put away his sword, Li Cheng became even more arrogant.
After all, Lin Fan had humiliated him just moments ago. If he didn't retaliate, where would his dignity as the Federation Research Division Director go?
Even though he wasn't Lin Fan's match in combat, he could still take the upper hand verbally.
Lin Fan looked at him, finding it amusing.
He had seen many foolish people in the government before, but never someone as stupid as Li Cheng.
He didn't respond, merely lifting his foot and stepping onto Li Cheng's abdomen.
Seeing Lin Fan remain silent, Li Cheng truly believed Lin Fan didn't dare to kill him.
He sneered.
"You should never have rejected my recruitment offer. Entering the Federation would have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, yet you didn't cherish it and even insulted me."
"And now, isn't the very Federation you looked down upon something you fear?" Li Cheng lifted his head and spoke with arrogance.
Hearing this, Lin Fan chuckled.
"Are you done talking?" He lifted his foot off Li Cheng.
At that moment, Li Cheng thought Lin Fan was letting him go.
But in the next instant, Lin Fan stomped down hard on his stomach.
Li Cheng let out a scream of agony, his cries echoing throughout the Nine-Story Monster Tower.
Listening to his screams, Lin Fan sneered coldly.
"I don't know where you get the confidence to think I won't kill you."
Lin Fan crouched down and grabbed Li Cheng's arm. Li Cheng's expression completely changed—his face was filled with terror as he stared at Lin Fan.
"You— What are you trying to do?!"
Lin Fan replied calmly, "Take a guess."
With that, he lifted his hand and snapped Li Cheng's only remaining arm.
The pain was so unbearable that Li Cheng let out a blood-curdling scream. His vision blurred, his body convulsed, and agony consumed him entirely.
But Lin Fan wasn't done. He grabbed the broken arm, shook it twice as if testing its flexibility, and then bent it back the other way.
This time, the sheer pain made Li Cheng pass out completely.
Seeing him unconscious, Lin Fan let out a cold sneer.
"That's it?" He shot a mocking glance at Li Cheng before shifting his gaze to the man in glasses.
The moment their eyes met, the man shuddered violently.
"W-What do you want?! I— I didn't do anything! Don't—don't come after me!" Terrified, he stumbled backward until his back hit the wall, then slid weakly to the floor.
Seeing him in such a pathetic state, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Honestly, to have an incompetent boss like him—aren't you exhausted?" His voice was laced with mockery.
The outright humiliation made the man in glasses furious, despite his fear.
Summoning his courage, he lifted his head and forced himself to look at Lin Fan.
"I-I'm telling you, at the very least, he's the Federation Research Division Director! Before you kill him, you better think carefully— If you do, the Federation might actually come after you!"
Lin Fan found this statement downright laughable.
"You think that would scare me?"
"In my eyes, the Federation is nothing but an empty shell. I said it before, and I'll say it again now."
He withdrew his gaze and refocused on Li Cheng.
"Li Cheng has already pushed me too far. No matter what, I won't let him go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan stomped hard on Li Cheng's broken arm.
The sudden, sharp pain shocked Li Cheng awake, dragging him out of unconsciousness with another piercing scream.
His veins bulged on his forehead, and his bloodshot eyes filled with agony and rage.
He looked up and saw Lin Fan mercilessly tormenting him. Glaring with unbridled hatred, he growled, "If you've got the guts, just kill me already!"
Pain had driven him to madness.
Rather than enduring this unbearable torment, he would rather die.
Panting heavily, Li Cheng couldn't believe that even with both his arms broken, his health bar had only lost three segments.
He was merely a government division Director. He had never suffered even the slightest physical hardship before, let alone this kind of brutal agony.
Clenching his fists, he gasped for air.
"Kill me! Just kill me already!" The searing pain pushed him to the brink of insanity.
He no longer cared whether Lin Fan dared to kill him or not. He just wanted it to end—wanted Lin Fan to end it.
But Lin Fan had no intention of granting him that wish.
Li Cheng had schemed against him over and over again. He had tried to set him up, to ruin him. Lin Fan wasn't going to let him off so easily.
For everything Li Cheng had done in the past, and for what he had done this time—Lin Fan would make sure he paid for all of it.
There was no way he was going to let Li Cheng go.
He had to die.
But before that—
Lin Fan was going to collect some interest.
