Fang Xiao didn't answer Old Dog, instead directly hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, he faced the azure sky outside the glass, staring blankly with lifeless eyes.

On the other side.

At the abandoned pier of Macedonia Island.

Macedonia Island was very large, with many abandoned piers like this one.

This particular spot, having been abandoned for years, was overgrown with weeds and completely desolate.

At this moment, there was a person sitting on a large black tire at this abandoned pier.

All around him were dogs.

Various large breed dogs.

Each one well-fed and muscular, fierce and menacing.

And many types:

Tosa Inu, Pit Bulls, Dogo Argentino, Kangals.

Tibetan Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Cane Corsos, and so on.

In short, every vicious dog you could think of was here.

Counting carefully, there were 59 dogs in total.

These were all the dogs Old Dog currently possessed.

To kill Ou Yingying and Little Zhao, many of his dogs had been killed by that American special forces soldier Golden Beard.

Afterwards, during that incident with Jiang Ran and Fang Xiao.

At least 20 more dogs had died.

That time, Fang Xiao hadn't killed many of his dogs, but rather that Jiang Ran had killed quite a few of his dogs using Molotov cocktails.

"What a pity, Jiang Ran, that you died. Otherwise, after I kill Fang Xiao, you would have been next."

Old Dog sat on the tire, muttering to himself.

His current location had concrete ground on three sides, with the ocean behind him.

"Fang Xiao, after I kill you, I won't return to Alice either, I'll just stay here."

From the Hua Country's Alice Apartment, two deranged criminals, deranged serial killers, had been transferred to Macedonia Island.

The first was the chainsaw murderer—Manager Xiao Zhang.

The second was Old Dog.

What made Old Dog completely different from Manager Xiao Zhang was:

After this special live stream ended, Manager Xiao Zhang would return to Alice Apartment to continue being the manager.

As for Old Dog, he planned to stay.

The reason for staying was simple.

There was plenty of space here, suitable for raising dogs.

At Alice Apartment, he had to raise dogs secretly.

Therefore, he intended to stay here.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for Fang Xiao's arrival.

Old Dog suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

Closing his eyes, he quietly waited for noon to arrive.

The dogs he raised were very well-behaved too.

Some were lying beside him, others were patrolling around, keeping watch.

Not a single dog was barking wildly.

They were as quiet as when they were in the dog cages on the large truck.

Old Dog came from generations of dog breeders.

His dog-raising skills were hereditary and extremely proficient.

Like how Old Dog raised dogs:

He would select and establish dog kings among the dogs to control the entire pack.

Otherwise, relying solely on Old Dog himself each time, it would be difficult to control such a large number of dogs for combat.

Currently, among his 59 dogs.

He had selected and established six dog kings.

Each dog king controlled 9 or 10 dogs.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, Old Dog opened his eyes.

He checked his phone for the current time—12:03 PM.

He stood up and looked around.

Because the abandoned pier had been deserted for so long, it was overgrown with weeds, with green plants everywhere.

But the visibility was still good, with an unobstructed view.

So, Old Dog scanned the area, hoping to see that familiar figure.

But he didn't see him.

Old Dog then waited another 10 minutes.

Still, he didn't see any sign of Fang Xiao.

Immediately, Old Dog thought Fang Xiao probably wouldn't come.

He was scared.

Last time at the apartment, he almost died in the dogs' mouths, so he'd learned his lesson this time.

"Fang Xiao, do you think just because you're not coming, I can't do anything to you?"

Old Dog chuckled coldly.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed about ten meters away, a large black-gray-yellow wolf dog lying on the grass with its eyes closed.

The dog's two black ears were standing upright.

As if it were sleeping.

That was a Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blue.

During World War I, Cherry Blossom Country coveted Germany's German Shepherd dogs.

Therefore, they brought in German Shepherds and crossbred them with their own domestic Cherry Blossom Country dogs to create this breed.

Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blues had fierce temperaments.

These dogs had helped Cherry Blossom Country people during the war, harming countless Hua Country people.

After World War II ended.

When Cherry Blossom Country surrendered, their specially bred Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blues.

Were not taken in at the time, but were directly released into the mountains.

This release caused terrible suffering for the Hua Country people living in the surrounding areas.

These Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blues, usually trained by Cherry Blossom Country people specifically to bite people and eat humans.

So, after being released into the mountains, the harm they caused to the surrounding Hua Country people was unimaginable.

The Wolf Blue before him was a descendant of those Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blues released into the mountains back then.

Old Dog had spent a large sum to acquire it.

And had raised it since it was a puppy.

But even after raising it until now, it remained untamed.

Therefore, it infuriated Old Dog so much that he called it a little devil, a traitor.

Of course, as a hereditary dog training family, Old Dog believed he would eventually conquer this little devil.

Old Dog's gaze shifted away from the Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blue, but the Wolf Blue suddenly opened its eyes, though just a slit, watching Old Dog.

The cunning and cruelty in the dog's eyes flowed continuously.

Since Fang Xiao wasn't coming, Old Dog didn't plan to stay at the abandoned pier any longer.

Staying any longer would just be a waste of time.

Therefore, he got up from the tire.

And led the dog pack away from this place.

It was at this moment.

His phone suddenly rang. Looking down, he saw a message from Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao: [I suddenly have diarrhea and can't come. At 2:30 PM, at the place you mentioned, let's have our final showdown. Either you die, or I die.]

Seeing Fang Xiao's message suddenly, Old Dog was startled.

So he wasn't too scared to come, but had sudden diarrhea?

Old Dog put away his phone, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He continued leading the dog pack away, planning to return at 2:30 PM.

...

After Fang Xiao received Old Dog's call, he sat in place, spacing out for a long time.

Then, holding a bottle of foreign-produced red wine.

He left the 10th floor.

Left this hotel.

While drinking the red wine.

He headed toward the supermarkets and duty-free shops near the hotel.

After wandering around, he didn't find what he wanted.

Actually, he wanted to buy a gun, or something like a crossbow.

He thought that since Old Dog was surrounded by dogs, he couldn't get close for melee combat.

So, he wanted to use ranged weapons.

He'd heard you could buy guns abroad, but apparently this island didn't sell them.

What a pity.

But Fang Xiao didn't give up. He asked several staff members and went to the island's staff area responsible for garden maintenance, striding boldly inside.

After entering, he went directly into a workroom and saw chainsaws, power drills, garden shears, and other tools hanging on the wall.

He just glanced at them, then focused his gaze on the thick hemp rope on a nearby table.

He stood up and gathered all the hemp rope from the table into his arms.

Coincidentally, at that moment, a staff member walked in.

Seeing Fang Xiao, he asked: "Hey, are you a tourist? What are you doing here? This is our workroom, not a place for visiting or playing around."

Fang Xiao said: "I need these ropes."

The staff member, seeing that Fang Xiao was only taking these ropes and not the dangerous tools like chainsaws on the wall.

Nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Fang Xiao: "How much?"

Staff member: "Just take them, no charge. They're just some ropes."

Fang Xiao said thank you.

Then carried the bundle of ropes and left.

Carrying the ropes, he found a deserted spot on the island.

He made the ropes into something like a lasso used by Western cowboys.

And it was a super-thickened version made by twisting several ropes together.

After making this lasso, he found a half-person-high tree stump.

At this moment, Fang Xiao was one meter away from the object.

He skillfully swung the lasso in his hand, instantly looping it around the tree stump.

With a strong pull, the lasso instantly tightened, firmly gripping the tree stump.

Fang Xiao's technique clearly showed he had practiced professionally countless times.

If it were an ordinary person trying for the first time, forget about hitting the target within one meter, even getting the lasso to swing properly would be difficult.

"One meter isn't enough yet."

Fang Xiao began trying two meters, three meters, four meters, five meters, six meters, even ten meters.

Finally testing his limit—15 meters.
