The others were shocked when they saw Yang Yan break their comrade's leg with just one punch, exchanging glances in disbelief.

They were not ordinary people.

They were veterans from a secret unit, battle-hardened.

Especially in single combat, their skills were impeccable.

Yet, this unassuming young man in front of them disabled one of their comrades with just a punch, which was unbelievable.

It seemed that they had met a formidable opponent this time.

Despite witnessing Yang Yan's might, none of them backed down.

Without a word, they all tacitly pulled out batons from their waists and surrounded Yang Yan.

Yang Yan also had no interest in talking, standing tall without any intention of striking first.

Eventually, it was these few people who launched another attack.

The batons in their hands came crashing down toward Yang Yan's head relentlessly.

Yang Yan sneered, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

To those who wanted his life, he had no mercy, whether they were ordinary people or not.

He deeply understood the principle that mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.

With a loud shout, he punched the nearest guy with a cannon punch.

There was a muffled groan as the man was sent flying five meters away, falling to the ground without any further movement, his life or death uncertain.

"Did you... kill him?"

The leader asked coldly, looking at the lifeless man on the ground beside them.

"In broad daylight, don't talk nonsense. I didn't kill him, but I crippled him," Yang Yan sneered.

The leader's gaze grew colder upon hearing this.

For people like them, being crippled was more intolerable than being killed.

Though officially retired, they still carried special missions.

The crucial point was that this time, he came out as a private action.

In any case, his life was over.

"Strike, use deadly force," the leader roared and charged forward first.

Yang Yan couldn't be bothered to speak, expressing his attitude through action.

To ordinary people, these elite veterans from the secret unit might seem unbeatable, but to people like them from the Hidden World, they were no different from ordinary people.

Accompanied by muffled grunts or screams, another ten or so people lay scattered on the ground, not getting up.

However, unlike those thugs earlier, even though these people were more grievously injured and incapacitated by Yang Yan, they gritted their teeth and did not cry out.

Meanwhile, a man watching from afar was stunned into silence.

No one knew better than him the prowess of this team.

It was no exaggeration to say that any one of them could take down those thugs like Yang Yan did.

But he never expected that they themselves would be dealt with by this guy in the blink of an eye.

What was even more unacceptable to him was that those on the ground had clearly been crippled by Yang Yan, effectively finished.

"Something big is going to happen."

The man's body trembled like it was riddled with fear as he murmured.

He knew their backgrounds too well, which was why he understood that today's events were too serious.

So serious that it filled him with a sense of despair.

"Let's go!"

Yang Yan ignored the people still lying on the ground and turned to the slightly dazed Zhou Hanyun.

By now, the surrounding crowd, unaware of the truth, had grown larger.

In this age of information explosion, what just happened was probably already uploaded online, spreading like wildfire across social media.

Back at the courtyard house, surprisingly, there was no one at home.

Even the two female ghosts hadn't returned.

Who knows if they're still playing over at the Great Wall.

Yang Yan watched the footage Zhou Hanyun helped film at the Great Wall, analyzing it for anything peculiar.

Zhou Hanyun brewed a cup of coffee and carefully selected locations for the new store.

As the saying goes, wealth brings confidence.

In just a few days, with significant capital, Zhou Hanyun had boldly chosen several prime locations for the storefront of her new shop.

Now, it was just a matter of deciding where to open the new store.

Bang!

As the two were busy with their own tasks, the courtyard's main gate was suddenly smashed violently.

Immediately, a group of uniformly equipped soldiers poured in.

Even the solid wood doors did not provide any resistance.

Hearing this abrupt noise and sensing the killing intent in the air, Yang Yan frowned slightly.

He glanced at the equally startled Zhou Hanyun and smiled lightly:

"Just stay put, I'm going to check it out."

Unfortunately, as Yang Yan was about to walk out of the living room, the living room door was also violently kicked open.

Instantly, at least twenty dark gun barrels were aimed at Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun.

A voice shouted loudly:

"Raise your hands, don't move! Or we will shoot."

Yang Yan frowned and walked directly in front of Zhou Hanyun, shielding her with his body.

He was afraid those guys, being too nervous, might accidentally pull the trigger and hurt Zhou Hanyun.

As these guys charged in, the little White Tiger, Nine Treasures, suddenly bristled its fur.

Tigers are inherently highly territorial creatures, let alone the Divine Beast White Tiger.

Even as an underdeveloped cub, its territorial instinct was very strong, not allowing any trespass.

As Nine Treasures was about to unleash its might and take down these intruders at once, Yang Yan shot it a cold glare.

Then, Nine Treasures whimpered, lowered itself back to the ground, and vigilantly watched the unwelcome guests.

However, though Nine Treasures didn't move, the intruders did.

They glanced at Nine Treasures and brazenly picked it up.

Even the inert Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird were not spared.

Seeing the three unremarkable-looking creatures taken away by them, Yang Yan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

There's a saying, "Inviting gods is easy, sending them off is hard."

These guys would soon realize the true meaning of this saying.

"Was it you who violently injured people in the northern Great World just now?"

The leading officer approached Yang Yan and smashed a gun butt toward him.

Witnessing this, Yang Yan didn't hesitate, delivering a side kick that sent the officer flying.

Nobody expected Yang Yan to make a move in such circumstances.

Almost instantaneously, everyone instinctively released the safety and chambered a round.

Nobody doubted for a moment that if Yang Yan made any further move, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger and turn him into a sieve.
