Just as Lu Yu and Howard were fiercely dueling in the Rudos Club, at the same time, on the streets of Lin'an City, a black Mercedes was leisurely cruising along.

The car's speed was neither fast nor slow, giving off an impression of being steady and poised, as if it were on a sightseeing tour.

At this moment, Master Yuan sat in the back of the Mercedes. Through the rear window, he gazed at the bustling streets of Lin'an City. His eyes, like sharp blades, scanned every person on the street, and immediately a somber and disappointed look appeared on his face.

Master Yuan had a habit—whenever he arrived in a new city, he liked to stroll around, observing the city's scenery and culture, and simultaneously searching for any martial experts worthy of his attention.

"Sigh!"

A moment later, watching the lively street scene outside, Master Yuan sighed lightly in disappointment, "I didn't expect such a big city like Lin'an to be like this. Just one glance, and there isn't a single expert worth noting. It's truly disappointing!"

As he spoke, Master Yuan's tone was filled with dreariness and indifference, with the weight of disappointment evident in every word.

Amidst his disappointed tone, his eyes revealed a hint of somber disillusionment.

Master Yuan was one of the world's most formidable assassins, with a one hundred percent success rate in assassinations. In hundreds of battles throughout his life, he had never been defeated.

Moreover, those whom Master Yuan killed were all renowned experts!

Even these so-called experts, when they encountered Master Yuan, were all killed by him without exception, falling immediately with no survivors.

It was precisely because of this that Master Yuan earned the resounding title of 'Blood-killer, undefeated in a hundred battles.'

Upon hearing Master Yuan's words, the Mercedes driver was frozen in fear at the wheel.

At that moment, he was affected by the aura of murder emanating from Master Yuan, causing his hands on the steering wheel to tremble slightly, evidently due to fear.

"Enough."

Speaking slowly, Master Yuan said to the driver with extreme disappointment, "Let's stop here for today. Take me to the organization's contact point in Lin'an City. I need to discuss this mission with Howard!"

Unable to find an opponent of interest, Master Yuan now seemed uninterested. At this moment, he refocused on the mission at hand.

"Yes, Master Yuan."

Upon hearing Master Yuan's words, the Mercedes driver replied immediately, then turned the car around, heading directly towards the Rudos Club.

...

At this moment, in Howard's office at the Rudos Club.

Howard's chest heaved violently, panting for breath. His impeccably neat blonde hair was now completely disheveled, hanging down messily.

Especially the tips of his blonde hair, contrasting with the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, appeared extremely striking.

His arms, clutching a dagger, were trembling slightly. The once confident look on his face was now filled with shock and astonishment.

Howard was now in an utterly wretched state, a complete contrast to the impeccably dressed figure he had been before!

"Want more?"

Seeing the extremely disheveled Howard, Lu Yu spoke calmly, his suit still perfectly crisp, as if he hadn't moved at all!

In reality, Lu Yu and Howard had just had a fiercely intense fight, but due to the overwhelming disparity in their strengths, Lu Yu completely dominated Howard.

And it was precisely because of this that Howard appeared so wretched, while Lu Yu was calmly composed.

"Bastard!"

Hearing Lu Yu's slightly mocking words, Howard cursed angrily. With a sudden sway, he raised his dagger and charged at Lu Yu, his eyes full of rage.

"Fool!"

Seeing Howard charge at him in a rage, Lu Yu coldly laughed and said, "Rage without strength is just a waste of life!"

With that, Lu Yu stepped forward with his left leg, deftly dodged Howard's oncoming knives, and reached out to grab his face, slamming him fiercely onto the room's floor!

Bang!

At the moment Howard's body hit the floor, a dull, massive thud resounded, and the impact was so great that the entire ground trembled intensely!

In the instant of being slammed to the ground, it felt as if a giant hammer had ruthlessly struck Howard's back, causing a violent vibration, and immediately a mouthful of blood spurted out, appearing incredibly striking!

Clang!

At the moment the blood spewed out, Howard's dagger was also violently flung away.

"Now, tell me."

Looking at the wretched Howard on the ground, Lu Yu bent down, gripping Howard's neck and placing him on the broad desk, then said, "What kind of organization is Shadow Luo!?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu bent down, picking up Howard's dagger from the floor. He aimed the sharp tip at Howard's palm, continuing, "If you don't talk, I promise I'll make it extremely enjoyable for you!"

"I don't know!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Howard replied through gritted teeth, his voice showing steadfast defiance.

"Very good!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu coldly smiled, looking at Howard, he spoke with a chilling tone, "I like a tough guy like you!"

With that said, without warning, Lu Yu abruptly exerted force, thrusting the dagger in his hand through Howard's palm!

Ah!

In an instant, after a piercing scream, the golden dagger in Lu Yu's hand pierced through Howard's palm, its sharp blade nailing deep into the table, all the way to the hilt!

With his hand pierced by the dagger, Howard's body trembled incessantly from the immense pain, appearing extremely distressed.

"Now,"

Watching Howard's body trembling continuously, Lu Yu prodded the dagger up with the tip of his foot and continued, "Are you going to talk or not?!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, in that moment, Howard's lips quivered, just about to say something.

However, at that precise moment, an incredibly eerie chill of murderous intent surged from behind Lu Yu.

Sensing such a sinister aura, Lu Yu's body instinctively shuddered.

He turned around abruptly, and instantly saw Master Yuan, dressed in black, standing behind him, looking at Lu Yu with a cold smile on his face.
