MTLNOVEL Chapter 718: It's You Again
"Daniel, how did you find this place?"
Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.
She had only sent the address to Xu Yang a short while ago, and then Daniel had shown up at their door.
This made her doubt her ability to judge people.
Did Xu Yang, for his own benefit, disclose her address to Daniel?
Although it seemed that Xu Yang and Daniel didn't know each other,
for a wealthy man like Xu Yang, getting to know Daniel would be a simple matter.
Her question was also what the other four wanted to ask.
All four of them simultaneously thought of Xu Yang, suspecting that he might have revealed their address.
"Chen Ling, do you think your anti-tracking is invincible? I hired a very capable private detective this time and he found you."
Daniel had no intention of hiding the fact.
What did it matter if Chen Ling and the others knew?
Anyway, he had already found them, so the initiative was in his hands.
Hearing this, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been afraid that Xu Yang was the one who had disclosed the address to Daniel.
She feared that her judgment of character was flawed, that she had trusted the wrong person.
If that were the case, it would have meant she had put her classmates in jeopardy.
She would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
"Daniel, we have already made it clear, we will not transfer the technology to you. What exactly do you want? I'm telling you, the embassy is aware of our situation. If you harm us, you won't end up well either," Chen Ling said.
"What does it matter if the embassy knows? The Louis Family is one of the Four Great Families of Nu City. As long as I don't take your lives, using some other means is still no problem,"
Daniel was not at all afraid of Chen Ling's threat.
The embassy could apply official pressure on the Louis Family.
But it was just pressure.
The Louis Family, being one of the Four Great Families of Nu City, had a very powerful network of connections.
He was confident that he could withstand the pressure.
The technology in the hands of Chen Ling and the others was extremely promising.
If he could obtain it, it would surely take the Louis Family up a notch or two.
With this technology, if handled well, the Louis Family might not only be one of the Four Great Families of Nu City but also one of the four major families of the entire nation.
Hearing Daniel's words, the expressions on Chen Ling and the others' faces were grim.
Daniel's words were irrefutable.
The Louis Family, as one of the Four Great Families of Nu City, had strong connections.
What they did, as long as it was not too outrageous, they could probably get away with it.
"I'm a civilized man, so I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the technology to me, and I won't make things difficult for you. I'll leave immediately. If you're unwilling, then I will have no choice but to get rough," Daniel said with a faint smile.
"Daniel, this technology is the result of our hard work, and we will not give it to you, so you can give up on that idea," Chen Ling said through gritted teeth.
"Not giving it?" Daniel chuckled coldly, looking at the others, "Li Luo, Feng Hai, Zhao Dong, Zhou Ya, do you all feel the same way?"
If the others agreed, Chen Ling's opposition would be pointless.
"What Chen Ling says is what we all say."
"That's right, this technology is our blood, sweat, and tears; we cannot hand it over to you."
"Daniel, I advise you not to push us too far, or it won't end well for you."
"I don't believe you can do anything to us."
Of course, none of them were willing to hand over the technology.
It was the product of several years of their dedication.
The beginning of their careers depended on this technology.
"You don't think I dare do anything to you?" Daniel said with a sneer, "Fine, let me tell you what I'm going to do to you. After you hear it, if you still refuse me, I have nothing more to say."
Chen Ling and the others remained silent, wanting to hear what Daniel would say.
"Li Luo, Feng Hai, and Zhao Dong, I will break their legs so severely that they will never heal, and you'll be bound to wheelchairs for life. As for Chen Ling and Zhou Ya, I'll let the men I brought with me enjoy themselves thoroughly. You know what that means; you'll be guaranteed to have nightmares every night," Daniel sneered.
The thugs standing behind him either sneered or looked at Chen Ling and Zhou Ya with lecherous eyes.
Hearing these words, the faces of Chen Ling and company turned deathly pale.

They couldn't bear the consequences he described.
"Are you still unwilling to hand over the technology?" Daniel asked with a cold sneer.
The expressions on the faces of Chen Ling and the others shifted uneasily.
They were unwilling to give up the technology, but they also couldn't bear the proposed consequences.
"Daniel, you really are a beast. If the embassy finds out about this, you won't meet a good end!" Chen Ling said through gritted teeth, furious.
"Using the embassy to pressure me again? If I were afraid, I wouldn't be here. Looking at you, it seems you won't hand over the technology willingly. Well, no matter, I'll have to take action and make you truly suffer the consequences. Then, perhaps you'll change your minds. If you still don't, I have plenty of other methods," Daniel said coldly with a smirk, then waved his hand, "Do it."
His thugs immediately advanced toward Chen Ling and the others, who watched in terror, ready to attack.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Quite the lively scene."
Accompanied by the voice, two young men walked over.
"Xu Yang! Wang Xiaocong!"
Seeing the two, Chen Ling cried out in surprise.
Indeed, it was Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong who had arrived.
The pair had been there for a while and overheard the latter half of the conversation.
It must be said, Daniel was quite adept with his methods.
With such means of torture, not many could withstand them.
If Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong hadn't arrived, it was highly likely that Chen Ling and her group would have been tortured into submission and forced to give up the technology.
Now that they were here, the result was naturally going to be different.
"You again!"
Seeing Xu Yang, Daniel's face showed furious anger, gritting his teeth in resentment.
From his demeanor, it seemed as if he wished he could devour Xu Yang alive.
In the afternoon, it was Xu Yang who had spoiled his plan.
Otherwise, he would have captured Chen Ling long ago.
Now, having finally found Chen Ling and her group's hideout, Xu Yang had shown up once again.
"That's right, it's me again. Meeting twice in one day, and each time I see you up to no good. This clearly shows what kind of scum you are," Xu Yang said with a faint smile.
"Very well, I was planning to deal with Chen Ling's matter before coming for you, but you've saved me the trouble by showing up," Daniel spoke through clenched teeth.
"You're thinking of getting back at me, are you?" Xu Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Nonsense! You've messed up my plans, and if I don't retaliate, what will others think of me, of the Louis Family?" Daniel scoffed.
"So now that I'm here, what are you going to do?" Xu Yang asked.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. I'll take this opportunity to deal with all of you," Daniel said with a ferocious smile.
"Your confidence comes from these few men, I take it," Xu Yang indicated the thugs.
"That's right," Daniel nodded, "You may be skilled in martial arts, but these men are not like those you've already fought. I don't believe you can handle them."
Xu Yang was utterly unconcerned: "To me, they are no different from the ones I've already dealt with."
Daniel smirked: "You will soon find out whether there's a difference."
These men were fighters from the underground boxing world.
His family owned an underground boxing ring.
He had initially planned to take these men to handle a significant matter that evening.
Having found Chen Ling's whereabouts, he brought his men straight here instead.
He didn't believe Xu Yang could defeat these boxers.
