Lan Tai's idea was certainly a good one, faced as he was with the encircling King Yan's Army. If he could just take Gu Gaoxu—whose Martial Arts were completely gone—hostage, he could use the leverage to escape safely.
Little did he know, however, that while Gu Gaoxu had lost his Martial Arts, he still had a firearm for protection.
Gu Gaoxu held a short-barreled gun—one that resembled a firearm but was far more exquisitely crafted—and pointed it straight at Lan Tai's forehead.
This pistol was a Browning, which Lu Yuan had slipped to him as he was leaving the Lu Mansion.
Lu Yuan had already told him exactly how to use it.
The Browning pistol was compact, capable of firing multiple shots in succession, and was hidden at his waist, completely undetectable.
Although Lan Tai had never seen this particular weapon, he recognized it as a firearm.
