Chapter 326 Battle of Bel Rith
However, when they looked at the protection force inside the villa, they all felt reassured, even hoping that Lin Tian wouldn't show up, because then he would surely have come in vain.
The defense within the villa was formidable. In addition to the layers of bodyguards, there was Belis, the King of Fighters from the Golden Triangle, and three sharpshooter mercenaries.
There was no need to mention Belis. In the underground fighting rings of the Golden Triangle, he was known as "The Meat Grinder." Not a single fighter who faced him survived; every one of them ended up with a cracked skull and shattered organs at his hands, which testified to his strength.
As for those three mercenary sharpshooters, they were not nobodies. Hailing from the Blood Tiger Mercenary Corps in the foreign underworld, their unerring marksmanship was somewhat well-known within the mercenary world.
They might not be top tier, but they were more than capable of dealing with the average person with ease.
Belis stood beside Zhang Licheng, his towering frame like a humanoid monster, exuding an aura of brutality that deterred anyone from approaching.
The three snipers lurked in the corners of the villa, ready to fire a deadly shot without hesitation at the appearance of their target.
On the other side, after a brief rest, Lin Tian left the house. Mengting had fallen asleep—probably due to the overwhelming events of the day that left her feeling tired.
Upon leaving the house, Lin Tian didn't hesitate and took a taxi straight to the Zhang Family villa.
Getting out of the taxi, Lin Tian saw more than a dozen bodyguards standing guard outside and couldn't help but reveal a hint of disdain in his smile. They thought these men could actually stop him? Were they underestimating him that much?
Without pausing, Lin Tian walked straight towards the Zhang Family villa; he made his way overtly, not even activating his Invisibility superpower.
Because what Lin Tian wanted was for these people to understand that he wasn't someone they could provoke. If they did provoke him, he could come knocking on their door alone and make them pay.
"Stop there; if you come any closer, we won't be polite," a bodyguard from the Zhang Family villa shouted upon seeing Lin Tian approaching.
Clenching their batons, they were ready to act, making it clear that if Lin Tian encroached any further, they would indeed strike. They had received orders that day to let no one step foot within this villa.
Yet, Lin Tian didn't take their words to heart and continued forward, undeterred.
"Damn it, ****." The bodyguards could tell Lin Tian's intentions were hostile as he approached, and, batons in hand, they rushed toward him.
But as quickly as they came, they were dealt with just as fast. Having hardly made a charge, they were kicked away by Lin Tian.
With his Neural Response Speed Ability and Ox Power Technique activated simultaneously, they didn't even come close to touching a corner of Lin Tian's clothing before being flung away.
And how immense was the force of the Ox Power Technique? A single layer granted the strength of eighteen ordinary men, and Lin Tian had reached the second layer—his power was equivalent to that of thirty-six men combined.
The bodyguards were knocked to the ground and immediately passed out.
None of the guards outside the Zhang Family villa was a match for Lin Tian. He reached the entrance of the villa's main hall without any delay.
"Bang!" Lin Tian kicked at the doors before him, and they burst open instantly, revealing him to the Zhang family members' eyes within.
"Wow, there's quite a crowd here. Have you all been waiting for me?" Lin Tian said with a hint of mock astonishment as he scanned the faces of almost everyone in the Zhang Family. "This is really too kind of you; I'm a little embarrassed now."
All eyes in the hall were drawn to Lin Tian, and when they clearly recognized his face, they couldn't hide their shock—it was slightly odd.
No matter how they looked, they couldn't reconcile the clean-cut youth in front of them with the murderous demon described by the chauffeur.
The contrast was too stark. The person before them was just a young man, a youth whose boyishness had not yet fully faded. Could he really be linked to murder?
"So, you're Lin Tian?" someone finally asked, looking uncertainly at Lin Tian.
"Ha-ha... Are you trying to make me laugh? How many times have you gone after me? And now you're asking if I'm Lin Tian?" Lin Tian found this question amusing and looked at the man with a mocking face.
"So you're that worthless Lin Tian." Having received confirmation from Lin Tian, a young man from the Zhang Family stepped forward and jeeringly spoke. "I heard you have two stunning girlfriends. How about letting the young master have a turn with them? I won't let you lose out; I'll give you a thousand or eight hundred bucks as compensation."
Yes, upon seeing Lin Tian, the Zhang Family members had already discarded the chauffeur's frightening accounts. How terrifying could such a young man be? Surely the stories were exaggerated. With his frail look, any one of them could easily take him down, so they became arrogant and condescending.
The Zhang Family, as a major clan in Wu'an City, surely could handle such a youth with ease.
"Oh? What did you just say?" Upon hearing the young man's words, Lin Tian's expression instantly turned cold, yet a smile still lurked at the edge of his lips.
And those who knew Lin Tian understood that at this moment, he was enraged, extremely angry.
He Qianqian and Bu Mengting were Lin Tian's sore spot; anyone who dared to touch them would surely pay a price. And now, this young man had the audacity to publicly set his sights on them. Would Lin Tian let him off?
The answer was definite; impossible.
"Are you deaf or what, I just said..."
"Smack!"
The young man from the Zhang Family became even more arrogant and cursed loudly, but before he could finish, Lin Tian had already slapped him across the face, a crisp sound echoing in everyone's ears.
Then they saw the young man from the Zhang Family flying out, blood spewing from his mouth before he even hit the ground, and then he fainted with his eyes rolling back.
"Out of your depth." Lin Tian didn't even glance at the young man as he let out a cold snort and turned his gaze to the rest of the Zhang Family. "I didn't come here today to just hang around. All the things you've repeatedly done against me, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Lin Tian's sudden move stunned many people, but after hearing his words, one by one they became angry and started shouting.
"Damn it, who the hell do you think you are to demand an explanation?"
"Damn, do you even know who you're talking to?"
"You hit our guy, you're lucky we haven't killed you."
"..."
Lin Tian wasn't irritated by the Zhang Family's furious cursing; he simply curved the corners of his mouth upwards slightly and said, "It looks like you're not planning to give me an explanation? Then I'll just have to take it myself."
"Hmph, presumptuous." Zhang Licheng couldn't hold back his anger upon hearing this. As the head of the Zhang Family for so many years, this was the first time someone had dared to speak to him like that. He snorted coldly and turned to Bell Ries standing by his side. "Go teach this kid a good lesson, let him know some people are not to be trifled with."
"Heh heh... about time." Bell Ries sneered, twisting his neck with a 'crack' sound. He stepped towards Lin Tian and said in his imperfect Huaxia language, "Kid, I'm going to tear you apart."
"Eh? Did I hear someone talking?" Lin Tian saw Bell Ries approaching, but looked around pretending to search and said, "Weird, there's no one here."
"Kid, are you blind? I'm right in front of you." Seeing this, Bell Ries glared at Lin Tian and yelled.
"Holy shit, so you were the one talking." Seeing Bell Ries' glaring eyes, Lin Tian then turned his attention to him, placing an 'I just realized' expression on his face and said, "The Zhang Family is really something, even the beasts they raise can talk. And this beast is so ugly, not like a gorilla, not like a monkey."
"Roar... I'm gonna kill you!" Hearing this, Bell Ries couldn't fail to recognize that Lin Tian was insulting him by saying he was less than human and immediately charged at him, a straight punch aimed at his head.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Before the punch could reach him, the sound of the punch came first. Bell Ries' punch was filled with immense power and explosiveness; if it hit a person's head, there was no doubt it would blow the skull apart.
"Wow, impressive, the beast even knows how to fight." Faced with Bell Ries' punch, Lin Tian wasn't the least bit flustered. Although Bell Ries was very strong and quite fast, to Lin Tian, who had activated his 'Neural Response Speed Ability,' it was as slow as a snail, and he could easily dodge it at any moment.
With a swift dodge, Bell Ries' punch missed its mark. "Tsk tsk... such a slow speed, didn't you eat?" Lin Tian continued to tease without missing a beat.
"Die!" Bell Ries swung at Lin Tian again.
"Whoosh whoosh... whoosh whoosh..."
But predictably, each of his punches missed.
"Damn yellow worm, all you can do is dodge?" After every attack was evaded, Bell Ries stopped and glowered at Lin Tian.
The term 'yellow worm' was a nickname used by foreigners for people from the East with yellow skin, implying small stature.
"Do you want me to fight you head-on?" Lin Tian asked, seeing Bell Ries pause, a cold smile emerging on his face.
"Although it's stupid, I've decided to give you a chance."
"One punch," Lin Tian raised a finger and said, "with one punch I'll blow you away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian struck without any warning or preparation, throwing a casual punch.
Simultaneously, Bell Ries also threw a punch. His bloodshot, enormous fists shot out like a cannonball, forming a stark contrast to Lin Tian's slender arm and fist.
Zhang Licheng, seeing that all of Bell Ries' attacks missed Lin Tian, had his wrinkles all twisted up in frustration. However, when he heard Lin Tian agree to face Bell Ries with a direct punch, a scornful smile appeared on his face.
He thought to himself that kids are just kids, falling for such obvious bait. Facing Bell Ries with a punch? Wasn't that simply a death wish?
