My Cold and Ruthless CEO Wife-Chapter 34: Encounter with the Masked Man

As Long Tian walked down the street, fewer and fewer people remained as midnight slowly approached.

"You’ve been following me for a long time. Don’t you plan to come out?" he said in a cold voice.

Someone stepped out of the shadows, laughing.

"It seems the Fox King is still as sharp as ever."

A masked man wearing a coat stood before Long Tian. He couldn’t trace the identity of the masked man before him.

Even trying to probe the strength of the masked man led to naught.

He was confused and curious.

How was his identity quickly found out in China?

Or was the masked man from Devil’s Island?

The masked man charged forward without hesitation, with a knife, aiming for Long Tian’s neck.

Long Tian’s eyes contracted when he saw this. His body unconsciously moved as he narrowly dodged the attack.

The masked man let out a gasp of surprise, then slowly chuckled.

"It seems the injury of the Fox King has been healed," the masked man said.

’Someone knows about my injury...?

Who betrayed me?’

Long Tian froze for a second, his eyes contracting again as his thoughts whirled. No one knew about his injury except those he trusted.

His master and the four people he met, the ones who founded the Imperial Fox Claw with him, and he was the youngest of all.

Even though he was young, in many things, he beat them to it.

Someone betrayed him.

His chest tightened instantly. His eyes turned cold.

He got hold of himself and asked the masked man in a cold voice, "I wonder where you heard that from."

"haha, there’s no way I would give out details about my informat," the masked man grinned.

"I hope you say that when you lie at death’s door." Long Tian snorted as he took the initiative to attack.

He charged with his fist, appearing before the masked man with quick movement.

The masked man sensed the attack and also punched forward.

Both fists clashed against each other, but none gained a clear advantage.

Long Tian was surprised because he didn’t know of someone this strong in Devil’s Island.

They separated after the clash. The masked man shook his head disappointedly. "If this is all the Fox King has, it’s disappointing."

Long Tian snorted and charged with his fist again.

Their location was hidden from the crowd’s eyes, and with only a few people walking, no one noticed them.

The masked man also charged with his fist.

They kept exchanging blows with perfect control of strength, which made the shockwave of their battle minimal.

The more they fought, Long Tian realised that the strength of the masked man was increasing, slowly suppressing him in the battle.

He immediately used his Nine Dragon Body strength. His fist flashed with golden light and smashed straight into the masked man’s face.

The masked man’s eyes widened at this sudden change in strength. Before he could sense the change, it was too late.

He could only watch as the fist hit him in the face, and everything became a blur as he was sent flying into a tree.

Long Tian’s eyes were cold as he charged forward to where the masked man had fallen.

But when he got there, he couldn’t find any trace of the masked man at all.

Long Tian became vigilant, looking for any trace of the masked man. His brows furrowed as he couldn’t sense him.

He used his Mystic Dragon Eye and saw the masked man. But when Long Tian saw where he was, he was shocked.

The masked man was just beside him with a dagger. If not for the Mystic Dragon Eye, he wouldn’t have known how he had died.

He still pretended not to notice the masked man, pretending to continue searching for him.

Long Tian spent a few minutes searching, but the masked man didn’t attack.

He inwardly praised the masked man’s patience.

He proceeded to walk away, and the masked man couldn’t wait any longer, taking this opportunity to attack.

It seemed he didn’t dare underestimate Long Tian after seeing how patient he was.

The moment he attacked, Long Tian waited for the perfect timing before countering.

The masked man thought his attack had been successful, but Long Tian caught his incoming fist.

This caused shock in the eyes of the masked man.

The shock slowly turned into ridicule as he attacked with his other hand using a dagger. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Once again, Long Tian caught the hand, and the masked man froze in shock.

Long Tian held both arms and slowly twisted them. The veins of the masked man popped as if the mask wanted to fall off, but he let out no sound of pain.

With his knee, Long Tian violently attacked him in the stomach. The masked man spat out a mouthful of blood as he crashed again into the tree.

Long Tian walked toward the masked man, who lay on the ground, grimacing in pain.

He stepped on the masked man’s kneecap, snapping the joint, and the leg immediately lost its function.

"Now can you talk?" Long Tian’s cold gaze was fixed on him.

The masked man laughed. "It seems we underestimated you, Fox King. But the fun is just starting."

Long Tian felt something was wrong from the words of the masked man.

Suddenly, the masked man lost all signs of life.

He used his Mystic Dragon Eye and saw that the masked man had swallowed a poison pill, his body slowly decomposing into a puddle of blood.

He frowned. This was unexpected.

Why were they targeting him?

And the poison pill, such a high concentration, showed that the background of the person behind this wasn’t something to be taken lightly.

He was worried about the Imperial Fox Claw, hoping nothing bad would happen to them.

He couldn’t suddenly rush there. There were far more important things to settle first.

And he could see that their target was him, which meant they could still keep them alive to use them to threaten him.

He sighed as he looked at the sky.

His plan of peace and laying low in the dark had been disrupted.
