Old K was trembling with fear behind him, clutching desperately at the hem of Qin Yu's clothes.
"Boss... Scar's Mechanical Arm is military-grade. Let's not pick a fight we can't win..."
"Shut up."
Qin Yu didn't even turn his head.
He looked at Scar across from him and suddenly laughed.
A laugh filled with utter arrogance.
"The company's designated subcontractor foreman?"
Qin Yu took the Sniper Cannon off his shoulder.
The muzzle tapped directly on the ground, emitting a dull thud.
"I was just worried about finding a guide dog at the recycling station."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze icy enough to freeze bone.
"You'll do."
Scar was stunned.
He thought he had heard the biggest joke of his life.
"What the hell did you just say?"
Scar flew into a rage. His mechanical left arm instantly emitted an ear-piercing roar of hydraulics!
"Hiss—!"
High-pressure steam gushed out from the seams of the Mechanical Arm!
He violently raised that heavy mechanical fist, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of smashing through armor plates, and swung it straight at Qin Yu's head!
"You worthless piece of trash who doesn't know when to quit! Die!"
This punch even compressed the air, creating a sonic boom!
It could absolutely crush a human head like an egg!
Old K and the others closed their eyes in despair.
But Qin Yu didn't dodge at all.
He didn't even raise the gun in his hand.
At the critical moment, just as Scar's mechanical fist was about to smash into his face!
"Hum—!"
A ghostly blue light instantly flashed from Qin Yu's right arm!
The immense, unimaginable energy of the [World Heart] surged madly into his right fist!
Qin Yu clenched his five fingers tightly and threw a punch head-on!
No fancy moves.
No tactical evasion.
Just pure, absolute, overwhelming force!
Mortal flesh and blood, colliding with a military-grade Mechanical Arm!
"BOOM—!!"
A deafening, earth-shattering explosion erupted in the center of Rust Town!
A violent shockwave, centered on the two of them, blasted outward!
It directly sent several nearby armed thugs flying!
"Ah—!!"
Immediately after, came a heart-wrenching, agonized scream!
Old K snapped his eyes open and instantly gasped in shock.
The dozens of armed thugs holding guns around them were all dumbfounded.
Scar's Mechanical Arm, touted as invincible on this junk planet.
Was actually shattering inch by inch, starting from the fist all the way up!
Countless metal parts, hydraulic tubes, and gears flew apart like rain, scattering all over the ground!
The entire Mechanical Arm was completely pulverized into scrap metal!
And Qin Yu's right fist didn't even have a single scratch!
"Impossible!"
Scar clutched his shoulder stump, which was gushing blood, his face contorted in pain. He fell to his knees with a heavy "thud" before Qin Yu.
His faith, his pride, had been pulverized into dust by a single punch!
Qin Yu slowly retracted his right fist.
He took a step forward.
And directly used his heavy military boot to stomp hard on Scar's fleshy, scarred face!
Pinning him firmly into the mud filled with oil and filthy water!
"Impossible?"
Qin Yu looked down at Scar from above, his gaze as if observing a squirming maggot.
"I dare to flip this entire universe."
"What the hell are you?"
The thirty or forty armed thugs surrounding them watched as their boss, who usually lorded over everyone, was stomped face-down into the mud.
They all froze in place, their legs going weak.
No one dared to fire a shot.
No one dared to move.
That was Scar! Taken down with a single punch?!
Qin Yu applied a bit more pressure with his foot.
Scar's facial bones immediately let out a strained creaking sound, as if they might shatter at any moment.
"It hurts! It hurts! Big brother! Grandpa! Have mercy!"
Scar was utterly terrified now, tears and snot mixing with the muddy water as he desperately slapped the ground, begging for his life.
"I'm nothing! I'm just a dog! Please don't kill me!"
Qin Yu coldly scanned the gun-wielding underlings around him.
"Put down your guns."
Qin Yu's voice wasn't loud.
But in the deathly silence of the mine pit, it carried an absolute will that brooked no defiance.
"Clatter—"
Without the slightest hesitation.
Over thirty guns were instantly thrown to the ground.
These men usually only bullied unarmed scavengers.
Faced with a monster like Qin Yu, who could shatter a Mechanical Arm with one punch, their inherent cowardice was laid completely bare.
Qin Yu shifted his gaze back to Scar beneath his foot.
"You said earlier that you're the foreman appointed by the company?"
"Yes, yes! I am!" Scar cried out, his words slurred.
Qin Yu slowly lifted his foot.
Scar felt as if he'd been granted a pardon, scrambling to roll over and get up before crawling on his knees to Qin Yu, pressing his forehead firmly against the ground.
"Good."
Qin Yu lifted the Kiss of Death with one hand, using the cold barrel to tilt Scar's mud-covered chin upward.
"Since you're familiar with the company."
"First thing tomorrow morning, you'll lead the way."
A bloodthirsty, crazed smirk curled at the corner of Qin Yu's mouth.
"I'm going to that so-called recycling station to have a nice, long chat with your company's executives."
Scar shuddered violently, his pupils trembling.
"Grandpa… go to the recycling station? That's like storming the company's turf!"
Cold sweat poured down Scar's face, his voice shaking.
"They have Mecha! Heavy laser cannons! We'd be walking to our deaths!"
"Afraid to die?"
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened, and he shoved the gun barrel forward abruptly.
"Click."
A round was chambered.
The crimson glow of the Nano-Reactor directly illuminated Scar's deathly pale face.
"If you don't lead the way now, you die right now."
There wasn't a trace of warmth in Qin Yu's voice.
"I don't keep dogs that talk too much."
Scar swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva, feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from the gun barrel.
He didn't doubt it for a second.
If he dared utter even half a word of refusal, this terrifying Sniper Cannon would blast his head to pieces.
"I'll lead! I'll lead!"
Scar completely surrendered, kowtowing repeatedly.
Qin Yu snorted coldly and withdrew the gun.
He turned around and looked at Old K and the other two, who had been hiding in the back, trembling.
"Old K."
Hearing his name called, Old K straightened up in fright and responded loudly.
"Grandpa! Your orders!"
Qin Yu pointed at the pile of weapons the armed thugs had thrown on the ground.
"Gather up this scrap metal and distribute it to anyone below who can still hold a gun."
"From today on, Rust Town is under my command."
Qin Yu strode toward the luxurious tin house that had once belonged to Scar.
His back was straight as a blade, radiating arrogance to the extreme.
"Tonight, let everyone eat their fill!"
"Tomorrow!"
Qin Yu kicked open the tin house door with a powerful stomp, his voice booming like a bell throughout the deathly silent mine pit.
