Chapter 245 The Two Clash

Setting down her teacup, Lin Xi looked at him calmly, her voice carrying an undeniable sense of pressure, "I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."

Cavill's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze becoming inquisitive and amused. "Interesting. Do you know where this place is? You dare to come and talk business with me with just the two of you?"

“Of course I know,” Lin Xi said calmly, “otherwise I wouldn’t have come.”

A rare smile appeared in Cavill's deep eyes. He was breathtakingly handsome, yet it sent chills down one's spine. His tone carried a hint of danger, "You'd better have something to impress me, otherwise, you and your pretty boy won't be leaving here alive."

Lin Xi ignored his threat, instead curving her lips into a cool smile. "Why don't you take a look at what gift I've prepared for you?"

"Boss, this is bad! Our security system has been hacked. The interface keeps displaying a blood-red character 'Shadow'."

Hearing the urgent voice coming through the earpiece, Cavill's smile gradually faded, and his gaze sharpened as he stared at the woman in front of him. "You did this?"

Although this sentence is a question, it carries an inexplicable sense of certainty.

Lin Xi did not answer, but instead lowered her head and picked up the teacup in her hand. Her movements were elegant and smooth, and if it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, it would have been a delightful sight.

Tell me, what can't I get if I want it?

Cavill's face instantly darkened as he listened to the anxious report through his earpiece, his eyes growing colder. The atmosphere in the hall tensed, the previously noisy environment falling silent as several of his men stealthily reached for their weapons.

Shi Xiaochi also stared at them seriously.

"Are you threatening me?" Cavill's voice was low and dangerous.

"No, you're the one threatening me," Lin Xi said with a smile, seemingly oblivious to the danger.

Cavill stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter. "This is really interesting. To be honest, you're the first woman I've ever met with such courage."

He waved his hand, signaling his men to leave.

"I told you, I'm here to do business with you." Lin Xi's tone remained as calm as ever, without even a change in her intonation.

Cavill stood up and walked up to Lin Xi. "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want all the resources of your underworld," Lin Xi said casually, as if it were a very ordinary matter.

Cavill's eyebrows twitched. "You've got quite the appetite, haven't you? Then why should I cooperate with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi finally looked up at him, completely calm, "You have no choice but to agree."

As Cavill listened to her matter-of-fact words, a slight smile played on his lips, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xi remained completely oblivious, sitting quietly. There had indeed been a business deal before she came in, but that was before; she had changed her mind now.

She wanted everything about him, including him.

She felt that recruiting was faster than training.

Cavill waited a few seconds, making sure she wasn't joking, then let out a soft chuckle. "I'm always the one robbing others; this is my first time being robbed. What a novel experience!"

The next second, his eyes turned cold and sinister, and a bloodthirsty aura spread out, like a vengeful ghost from a battlefield. "However, it will cost him his life. It's a bit of a pity."

As his deep, cold voice fell, the people around him instantly drew their weapons and aimed them at the two of them. Shi Xiaochi reacted quickly and immediately drew her weapon, standing in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi's lips curled into a cold smile. She lightly brushed aside Shi Xiaochi, who was standing in front of her, and slightly raised her chin, revealing her slender neck. With an air of unintentional arrogance, she said, "You really are... disobedient."

Puff, puff, puff...

As one by one they fell to the ground, Lin Xi spoke again, "Fighting and killing isn't good, it's better to sleep and behave." She looked at Cavill, the only one still standing, "Don't you think so, Cavill?"

Cavill's pupils contracted sharply, and he was somewhat stunned.

He didn't even see how she made her move. How could that be? Who is she? Does the Shadow really exist?

"I've changed my mind. I want your entire Mafia, including you."

Cavill hadn't yet recovered from the sudden turn of events when he heard those words, and a look of humiliation instantly flashed across his face.

Who would have thought that a notorious mafia boss would be threatened on his own turf?

He pressed the button on his headset, and instantly a powerful burst of energy shot towards Lin Xi and the others.

"Get out of the way." Lin Xi instinctively pulled Shi Xiaochi away, incredibly fast, and when she looked at Cavill again, her eyes were cold.

Are you sure you want to continue?

“You think I’ll just give in? I’ve been witnessing how people are killed since I was two, and I killed my first person when I was three,” Cavill said, licking his lips and revealing a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. “What do you mean I haven’t seen it? I can only be killed, not humiliated.”

Lin Xi then looked at him seriously. "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Without using any weapons, just rely on yourself. If you can win, I'll leave immediately. If you lose, you'll come with me."

She must have used some kind of special weapon before. In hand-to-hand combat, men naturally have the advantage in strength, especially someone as thin as her...

Cavill pondered the situation, increasingly convinced of his superior chances of winning, and casually nodded, "Okay."

Shi Xiaochi stepped forward, looking at Kaville with hostility in her eyes, "Sister Xi, let me do it."

Lin Xi shook her head, and Shi Xiaochi had no choice but to make way. As for whether Sister Xi would lose? He hadn't even considered it. In his memory, Sister Xi never did anything without being sure of success.

Shi Xiaochi stood to the side, looking at Lin Xi with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. To be honest, he didn't know what level Lin Xi's skills had reached.

Cavill rushed forward first, his movements clean and swift. He aimed a side kick straight for the opponent's temple, but just as it was about to hit, Lin Xi simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the attack. A hole was directly cracked in the door behind him, which shows how strong he was.

Cavill reacted very quickly, immediately changing his tactics. He used his left hand to claw at her throat with great speed, intending to kill her instantly. However, Lin Xi's reaction was incredibly fast. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and pulled him forward.

"boom!"

Cavill fell heavily to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his back, but he paid no heed. He quickly rolled to his feet, his sinister eyes fixed on Lin Xi. He noticed her casually leaning against a chair, leisurely rubbing her fingers, her eyes lowered.

Taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, Cavill executed a sliding tackle, sweeping his leg across her face.

"too slow."

Lin Xi said calmly, then darted to the side like a ghost, looking incredibly relaxed.

Cavill stared at the solid wood chair in front of him, now broken again...
