Lin Chen held a wrench in his hand, his gaze cold as he looked at the two men.

"Kid, we are assassins with codes of conduct, even if you kill us, we won't spill a word," Tian Lang said coldly.

"Is that so? Assassins with codes of conduct." Lin Chen snorted coldly, suddenly swinging the wrench in his hand and smashing it into Tian Lang's face.

"Bang!"

"Ah! My mouth!"

Tian Lang's mouth instantly sprayed with blood, nearly all his teeth shattered by Lin Chen's blow, spilling out one by one onto the ground.

Di Lang, standing to the side, trembled with fear, viewing this guy as nothing short of a demon.

Lin Chen, weighing the bloodied wrench in his hand, looked at Di Lang: "So, are you also an assassin with codes of conduct?"

"No, no," Di Lang's head wagged like a tambourine.

"Then speak," Lin Chen said with a cold laugh.

"Di Lang, you've forgotten the rules of the organization!" Tian Lang shouted angrily.

"Big brother, don't you understand yet? This kid is no ordinary high school student, if we don't speak up, he will surely have more ruthless methods," Di Lang said warily, looking at Lin Chen.

Tian Lang, looking at Lin Chen's blood-stained wrench, also felt a shudder in his heart.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Di Lang is the clever one. I have many more tricks, you guys can choose not to talk, but I'm not done having fun yet!"

"I don't want to play anymore, I'll tell you everything," Di Lang trembled upon hearing this.

"We are from the elite assassins of the Blood Wolf Assassin Group, this time it was the Tang family's head, Tang Tianbao, who offered a hefty price for your life," Di Lang said cautiously.

"It's the Tang family after all!" Lin Chen nodded, a glint of icy coldness in his eyes.

"Big brother, we have spoken up, now please let us go," Di Lang pleaded pathetically.

The two, once elite assassins, now seemed like desperate strays, no longer bearing any semblance of being masters.

"Let you go?" Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course I can, but, as a punishment, of course I have to teach you a lesson."

As he spoke, Lin Chen's wrench came crashing down on the legs of both men.

"Ah! Ah!"

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, both assassins' leg bones were shattered by Lin Chen, ensuring they could never work as assassins again.

In the Tang household, Tang Tianbao watched his son Tang Yun groaning on the hospital bed with a cold expression on his face.

"Son, I've hired an assassin to kill Lin Chen; it won't be long before you can see his head," he said.

"Dad, that bastard crippled me, I want to feed his head to the dogs," Tang Yun said from the bed, a ferocious look on his face.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill all your wishes. I will kill Lin Chen for you, and the woman you fancy, I will bind her for you, making her our female slave for the two of us to enjoy," Tang Tianbao said coldly with a smile.

Suddenly, a bodyguard rushed in, panic-stricken: "Boss, something's wrong."

"What's the matter?" Tang Tianbao was startled.

"Those two assassins you hired have come back," the bodyguard said with a strange look on his face.

"They are back, does that mean Lin Chen has been killed?" Tang Tianbao's face showed a hint of joy.

The bodyguard's face turned ashen: "The two assassins were stripped naked, with their leg bones broken, dumped at the front gate of our villa."

"What!" Tang Tianbao's face turned deathly pale upon hearing the bodyguard's words.

"Boss, there was also an envelope on their bodies," the bodyguard handed an envelope to Tang Tianbao.

As Tang Tianbao unfolded the note, his face grew even more somber. The note had just one short line: "If you provoke me again, I will take your life!"

"Damn it! Don't get cocky, kid, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" Tang Tianbao, enraged, tore the note into shreds.

The next day was the day the monthly exam results were released, and early on, all the students gathered in front of the leaderboard.

"How could Zhang Yue have fallen from the top spot?"

"Damn, who is that guy named Lin Chen? He's incredible for scoring 692 points, over 30 more than the second place, Zhang Yue."

"Isn't this Lin Chen guy the poor student who made a bet with Liu Bin?"

"How is this possible!"

A poor student had jumped from being one of the bottom ten in the whole school to being the first, even leaving the top student Zhang Yue behind by 30 points—it was simply a miracle.

"Did the teacher write the wrong name? How could this guy be first?"

"Exactly, there must be a mistake, some foul play."

Almost no one believed that Lin Chen could have scored the marks displayed on the leaderboard.

Lin Chen merely smiled lightly; in fact, during this exam, he had intentionally answered a few questions incorrectly, otherwise a perfect score would have been easily within his reach.

It seemed that another school beauty was settled, and thinking of his agreement with Zhang Yue, Lin Chen secretly felt proud.

At this moment, Class 3-2 had just finished morning self-study, and Liu Bin looked confidently at Lin Chen's empty seat: "This guy must know he lost and was too scared to come to class."

"Exactly, if he handed in the paper after half an hour, I bet this time Lin Chen will definitely be at the very bottom."

"Guys, make sure you record it when Lin Chen kowtows to me!"

"Right, right, record it and post it on the internet."

Liu Bin seemed to already be envisioning the scene where Lin Chen knelt and kowtowed before him, the smile on his face growing even thicker.

Just then, Lin Chen walked into the classroom.

Seeing Lin Chen, Liu Bin sneered coldly, "Kid, you actually dared to come. Kneel and call me Grandpa quickly!"

"Yeah, ha ha, call it out, we'll livestream it for you," laughed Liu Bin's cronies.

Lin Chen responded with a faint smile, "Someone will kneel and call Grandpa, but it won't be me—it will be you."

"Ha ha, even now you dare to brag? You think you could get first by submitting each subject after only half an hour in the exams?"

"Yeah, that's just a joke!" Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It was just then that Zhang Yue walked into the classroom with an odd look on her face, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Lin Chen.

"You really are a devil; submitting the paper after only half an hour and you scored over 30 points more than me. Now you can be my boyfriend," said Zhang Yue in a soft voice, her cheeks flushing red.

"What!" The words of Zhang Yue suddenly silenced the classroom.

"How is that possible, Lin Chen actually came first."

Everyone was stunned; if it weren't for more and more people returning from seeing the leaderboard and confirming it, no one would have believed it.

Lin Chen fixed a cold gaze on Liu Bin: "Now, who did you say should kneel down?"

"Impossible, impossible, you must have cheated," Liu Bin shook his head, disbelief written all over his face.

"Can't accept defeat? Liu Bin, you bet so confidently in the cafeteria," Lin Chen said lightly.

"I, I meant a fair test. How could you, a poor student, ever come first? There must be an issue," said Liu Bin coldly.

Lin Chen's eyes were icy: "I told you to kneel down, did you hear me?"

His voice boomed, and Liu Bin felt a buzz in his head, then he thudded onto his knees before Lin Chen.

The classroom fell dead silent, everyone was dumbfounded as Liu Bin, who had always been so arrogantly confident, was actually kneeling before Lin Chen.

"I, how did I end up kneeling!" At this, Liu Bin's face turned pale. He tried to stand up but found his legs quivering, unable to move.

"You haven't called me Grandpa yet!" Lin Chen said indifferently.
