"Whose call was it?"

As soon as Lin Fan hung up the phone, Ye Fei’Er asked with curiosity.

By now, Ye Fei’Er understood Lin Fan quite well; she could tell just from his expressions that the call was anything but ordinary!

"It was Deke, the heir of the Child Clan," Lin Fan said with a light chuckle.

The moment he spoke, everyone around was shocked, especially the scientists like Liu Kexue. They were notably familiar with the Child Clan, one of the world’s three major conglomerates!

The existence could rival nations, a top giant in the world—no one expected Lin Fan to know Deke, and thus, their admiration for him grew!

Ye Fei’Er didn’t feel admiration but rather furrowed her elegant brows; she could tell Deke’s call wasn’t good news!

"Need my help?" Ye Fei’Er asked.

"There are some things you can’t solve," Lin Fan replied.

Ye Fei’Er sighed silently in her heart.

She had joined not only to bolster her family’s courage but also to help Lin Fan!

However, with Ye Fei’Er’s current strength, she was adequate domestically, but internationally, she was inconsequential!

"Alright! Things here are settled, you all head back to Yanjing; I need to go to Paris," Lin Fan said.

Ye Fei’Er hesitated, wanting to go to Paris with Lin Fan, but she thought her financial grip might become a burden to him, so she said, "Be careful then."

"Don’t worry!"

Lin Fan smiled lightly and gave Ye Fei’Er a gentle kiss on her forehead before instructing Lin Qi to drive him to the airport in Yunnan!

...

It was still afternoon in Paris, the sun was blazing hot!

Paris, the city claimed to be the most romantic in the world, attracts countless foreign tourists every year. After Lin Fan got off the plane, the airport was crowded and bustling!

Yet, Lin Fan gave a casual glance and spotted a group standing right at the airport entrance!

Leading the group was a man in his fifties, dressed in a tailcoat, with a gold pocket watch in his chest pocket, exuding elegance and style—the gray hair didn’t make him look old!

Beside him stood three burly men, all dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, with headsets, appearing as bodyguards—serious and unsmiling!

Passersby around retreated upon seeing this group!

Undoubtedly, this elderly man was Paul, the most powerful and trusted butler by Deke from the Child Clan!

Upon seeing Paul, Lin Fan smiled faintly, inwardly praising the Child Clan’s capabilities—how impressive they knew even his flight details!

Paul, spotting Lin Fan, quickened his pace and greeted him with a smile, "Welcome to Paris, Mr. Tyrant!"

"Thank you for welcoming me, Butler Paul," Lin Fan replied courteously with a smile.

"Mr. Tyrant, the young master is waiting for you, let’s go!" Paul said.

Lin Fan naturally had no objections, shrugged his shoulders, and followed Paul out of the airport!

Outside, a fleet of luxury cars drew attention!

On both sides were limited-edition bulletproof Mercedes SUVs, and in the middle was a limited-edition Rolls Royce Phantom, dubbed a mobile castle on land!

With the Child Clan’s protection, there’s a strong sense of security; Lin Fan got in and took a brief nap!

By the time he awoke, the convoy had driven into Deke’s estate!

Each time Lin Fan came to Deke’s estate, he felt amazed; although in size, it was no match for the British Royal castles, it was exceptionally luxurious!

The Rolls Royce stopped by the front gate’s steps, and Paul personally got off to open Lin Fan’s door, leading him to a martial arts room at the back of the estate!

The martial arts room was vast!

In the center, a ring stood, surrounded by two rows of stern-faced men in black—elite bodyguards!

At that moment, on the ring, two men wearing gloves and protective gear on their faces were engaged in an intense battle!

One man was tall, the other short, but facing the short man’s fierce attacks, the tall man kept retreating until finally knocked off the ring by the short man!

Undoubtedly, the short man was Deke!

"Young Master Deke’s fighting skill is indeed impressive, but sadly... your skills are good in a boxing match, lacking much when facing real combat,"

Lin Fan bluntly evaluated.

Deke noticed Lin Fan, his blue eyes suddenly burned with a hint of fury.

"Tyrant, dare you step up for a fight!" Deke suddenly challenged loudly!

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, a smirk growing casually on his lips, "You want to challenge me?"

"Exactly! I’m challenging you—aren’t you known as the strongest man in the Dark Realm? Today, I will defeat you!" Deke shouted!

Paul, hearing Deke’s words, had a face full of worry and panic; Tyrant’s strength was renowned, and Paul feared Deke might get hurt in Tyrant’s fury!

"Since you want to play, I’ll play with you!"

Lin Fan chuckled lightly, stepped up to the ring, lightly tapped the ground with his feet, his body gracefully soaring up, effortlessly leaping onto the over-one-meter-high ring, the whole motion smooth like a flying swallow!

"Bring a pair of gloves and protective gear up!" Deke ordered immediately.

Paul hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly brought the gloves and gear to the ring, silently praying Tyrant wouldn’t get angry!

Lin Fan picked up the gloves, weighed them in his hands, then put them on his fists; as for the protective gear, he ignored them, kicking them off the ring!

"Protective gear is for the weak; I don’t need it!"

Lin Fan smiled softly, then took off his shoes, neatly placing them aside.

"Punches can be blind; be careful," Lin Fan advised Deke!

"Prepare to die!"

Deke roared angrily, taking big strides towards Lin Fan!

Lin Fan was surprised by Deke’s speed, indeed swifter than a regular martial artist, but from Lin Fan’s perspective, still too slow.

As Lin Fan said earlier, in a boxing competition, Deke might earn a championship, but in the realm of lethal combat, facing Lin Fan, frankly speaking, Deke stood no chance!
