Chinatown, a certain restaurant.

The steward led a group of people through the front and back doors of the restaurant, intending to corner Lin Fan, leaving him no escape. However, when they entered the restaurant, there was no trace of Lin Fan.

The steward found the restaurant owner, described Lin Fan’s attire and appearance, and asked if the owner had seen him.

The owner immediately said, "Yes, I remember him well."

The steward was puzzled, "Why?"

The owner said, "That young man gave me a Huaxia Coin and exchanged it for a pile of coins before leaving, and he didn’t order any food."

The steward frowned, "Why exchange for coins? Where did he go?"

The owner said, "He left through the back door."

Suddenly realizing something, the steward’s expression changed: "Not good, we need to go back!"

In an old building, screams could be heard from outside. The man was confused, what happened?

Most of his men were outside, forming a tight defense, ensuring Chen Long couldn’t escape.

Inside the room, it was just him and the big man, both armed, having control over the situation. Chen Long was unarmed, and Chen Ling, a weak girl, could hardly resist.

It could be said they were sure to win.

But what was with the screams outside?

It wasn’t just one person’s scream; they were persistent cries, easily heard by anyone who wasn’t deaf. Their men were being taken out.

How...is this possible?

His men were armed, how could they be overpowered?

A moment later.

The screams outside stopped, and suddenly there was an eerie silence, like death itself, making everyone uneasy.

The man, uncertain, shouted twice towards the outside, calling his men by name but receiving no reply, as if they had vanished.

The man became increasingly panicked and told the big man, "You, go check it out."

The big man, also clueless about the situation, grudgingly let go of Li Ling, and with gun in hand, headed towards the door.

"Lingling!" Chen Long sighed in relief; the big man almost fired earlier, and his daughter was unscathed thanks to the sudden turn of events. Although he didn’t know the exact situation, Chen Long could guess.

Chen Long was about to rush over to help his daughter up.

The man pointed a black muzzle at Chen Long: "Chen, I advise you not to act rashly."

Chen Long had to hold back.

The big man reached the door, reaching out to open it, about to take a look, but before he could peek out.

Suddenly.

A whoosh, a sound of something cutting through the air.

The big man let out a scream, his body stiffened, then fell backward with a thud.

Immediately after, there was a clatter as a coin fell to the ground, spinning rapidly before coming to rest, bearing the image of the Queen of England—a UK coin.

To everyone’s shock, a circular red mark was seen on the big man’s forehead, clearly hit by the coin. It was unclear whether he was killed instantly or his brain was just rattled. Either way, the big man was motionless, like dead.

This scene left everyone in the room dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Did someone really take out the big man with just a coin?

With just a single coin?

How could this be real?

The man, terrified, rushed over and grabbed Chen Ling, hiding behind her and pressing the gun to her head.

"Who are you, come out!" the man shouted towards the door.

"Put down the gun; the only reason you’re still unharmed is because I have questions for you."

Outside, a voice was heard.

Chen Long recognized this voice.

Lin Fan had arrived!

Chen Long knew Lin Fan was impressive, but he didn’t expect Lin Fan to be this formidable. Apparently, Lin Fan had singlehandedly dealt with everyone outside, taking down the big man with just a coin. What sort of skill was this?

He had only seen this in movies—did such a person really exist?

The man shouted back, "Show yourself, do you hear me? Or I will shoot her dead!"

Lin Fan said, "Put down the gun, release the father and daughter, and I’ll talk to you calmly. I promise you won’t be harmed."

The man yelled, "Nonsense! You have no idea who you’re messing with! I don’t care who you are, appear now, or I’ll kill her!"

Lin Fan said, "Killing her won’t benefit you."

The man said, "Let me tell you the right way to do this: you tell me the target’s identity now, and then leave. Once we verify the target’s identity, we’ll naturally return the girl to you!"

Lin Fan said, "I don’t think that’s a good idea. How about this: you put down the gun, release the girl, and then tell me who you work for. That way, you’ll be safe, because I need you to report back to your boss."

The man sneered, "Kid, don’t be arrogant! Who do you think you are? You dare to oppose us—you’re dead. This is the United Kingdom, not Huaxia. Do you really intend to go against us? Even if the target is your own son, it’s not worth it!"

Lin Fan said, "If I tell you the target, will you really let us go?"

The man said, "Of course, opposing us does you no good. Your only chance of survival is to comply."

Lin Fan said, "You know, I can see you now. I believe you’re lying. From the moment you captured the girl, you never planned to let her live, right? Likewise, those of us involved in this—you never intended to spare us, did you? That’s your style, part of your plan, isn’t it?"

The man said, "It’s not like that..."

Of course, he wouldn’t admit it because it would eliminate any room for negotiation.

But Lin Fan had already seen through his deception.

As Lin Fan had expected, the situation would inevitably lead to a deadly confrontation.

In that case, it was time to drag the mastermind into the light and deal with them!

"I won’t tell you the target’s identity. Go back and tell your boss it’s best to let this matter rest. Frankly, I don’t have the time to mess with you, but if you insist, I’ll be forced to play along," Lin Fan said calmly.

The man sneered, "Kid, do you think it’s your turn to call the shots? If you can see me, you know where my gun is pointed. Don’t test my patience. I’ll count to three, and you show yourself, or I’ll kill her. One!"

At that moment, a shadow flickered at the doorway, and something flew into the room.

The man was startled, instinctively raised his gun, and prepared to defend.

It was then.

Whoosh!

A flash of silver.

"Ah!"

The man let out a scream.
