Chapter 1385 - 1384
The young white man, Howard, was rolling on the ground, the pain and itching making him nearly insane. He had never felt so miserable in his life; this Chinese guy must know Magic, making him itch uncontrollably...Two burly men beside him who had been knocked down by Lin Fan earlier now scrambled to their feet. They had initially planned to come over and help, but upon seeing Howard’s condition, they were scared stiff, not daring to help. They didn’t want to end up like this.
"Quick, save me!"
Finally, Howard couldn’t take it anymore and pleaded with Lin Fan for mercy. There was no other option; it was too painful. He wanted to die but couldn’t, left only to suffer alive.
Lin Fan remained unmoved, merely looking at him coldly.
Howard continued to struggle. This kind of pain was not something an ordinary human could endure.
"Save me! Whatever you want to know, I will tell you, as long as you save me. I can’t take it anymore, or you might as well shoot me dead, ah, please!"
Howard begged.
Lin Fan asked, "How can I get my hands on what I want?"
Howard replied, "The Iron Fist Gang—that’s a big gang in London’s underground world. The midnight auction is one of their operations, managed by Mr. Claus of the Iron Fist Gang."
Lin Fan asked, "Where is this man?"
Howard answered, "He’s at the Midnight Bar; he’s the person in charge there."
The Midnight Bar is an underground bar in London. Underground bars aren’t something new here; they’re everywhere. However, this Midnight Bar is a bit different because of its scale, not comparable to ordinary small bars. Besides drinking and dancing, there are some very stimulating entertainment projects here.
Ordinary people wouldn’t know this bar is an Iron Fist Gang asset, nor would they know the Iron Fist Gang is a force not to be underestimated in London’s underground world. It’s rumored that the boss of the Iron Fist Gang was once a boxer, known for his unbeatable Iron Fists, who later led a group of followers into the underground to gradually become a regional power.
This boss is definitely not just brawn without brains. On the contrary, this person is very business-minded, involved in many industries, all of which are quite prosperous. If it weren’t for Howard’s confession, how would anyone think an underground force could even be on the Deep Web elite auction website, and become a well-known brand on the Deep Web, with hundreds of thousands of registered members? This Midnight auction alone brings quite a lot of income to the Iron Fist Gang.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Lin Fan finally pulled out the Silver Needle from Howard’s forehead, relieving his torment.
Howard instantly felt the pain and itch disappear, gone without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Howard was shocked in his heart. He really had no idea what kind of Magic Lin Fan used—a Silver Needle this powerful?
After catching his breath, Howard raised his face covered in cold sweat and looked at Lin Fan: "Although you’re very powerful, do you plan to challenge the Iron Fist Gang alone? I advise you to think carefully; this isn’t something you can handle alone."
Lin Fan replied, "I prefer to reason before resorting to force. If reasoning works, everything is negotiable. Unless necessary, I don’t like fighting with people. Alright, take me to find Mr. Claus."
Though named the Midnight Bar, it has business even in broad daylight, and this bar is located in a pretty good area. At first glance, it seems like a relatively elegant bar; if cultured, artistic youth come by, they would definitely take a picture at the entrance for the memories, while showing off to their friends.
No one would think that this bar is related to the underground forces.
A car arrived outside the Midnight Bar, stopping on the opposite side of the road.
Howard drove, Lin Fan sat in the front passenger seat, and in the back seat were the two burly men, now heads tilted, evidently subdued by Lin Fan.
"Get out and take me inside," Lin Fan said.
Howard wiped his cold sweat. He didn’t know what consequences bringing Lin Fan here might cause, perhaps consequences he couldn’t endure, but at this point, he had no choice.
He had to muster up the courage and got out of the car with Lin Fan.
The two crossed the road, heading towards the entrance of the Midnight Bar.
Suddenly, a woman’s scream came from beside them. With sharp eyes, Lin Fan immediately saw, at the side door of the Midnight Bar, a young girl being pulled by the hair, dragged towards the alley by a burly man. Despite the young girl’s desperate struggle, because the one pulling her was a Burly Man, she was unable to resist.
Lin Fan frowned: "What’s going on?"
Howard forced a laugh, "Nothing, it’s nothing. Perhaps an employee made a mistake, and it’s just a bit of discipline."
Lin Fan gave him a look and said, "Let’s go check it out."
"This..." Howard smiled bitterly. He knew he probably couldn’t stop Lin Fan, so he had to walk over with him.
In the alley, a young white girl was being dragged by her hair into the depths of the alley by a white Burly Man.
"Please, let me go, please!" The young white girl cried for mercy, tears and snot streaming together.
She was dressed very revealing, with overly heavy makeup. Her makeup was seriously inappropriate for her age, dressing like a mature, sexy woman during her blossoming youth, causing a sense of disharmony. As she cried, her makeup was smeared, her face full of mixed cosmetics, looking rather ugly and unpleasant.
The Burly Man showed no pity, his movements uninterrupted, dragging the young white woman into a corner and tossing her to the ground.
With a flick of his hand, the Burly Man opened a folding knife, staring at the young white girl with a vicious look.
The young white girl was terrified, her hands pressing against the ground as she retreated quickly, but with the dead end behind her, she had nowhere else to go, only able to huddle in the corner.
Still pleading incessantly from her mouth: "Don’t come closer, I beg you, don’t hurt me, I won’t dare again, I will never dare again."
The Burly Man was cold and merciless, advancing with a knife in hand.
The young white girl instinctively shielded herself with her hand, her arm getting cut and instantly bleeding, causing her to scream in pain.
It’s unclear where the Burly Man originally intended to cut; this stab evidently did not satisfy him. The Burly Man spoke not a word, gripping the knife to approach the young white girl again, reaching to grab her hair in an attempt to control her.
The young white girl, no match for him, was caught by the hair and pulled up. The Burly Man brandished the knife, about to strike the young white girl.
"What are you doing?"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
The Burly Man halted his hand, turning his head to see Howard and Lin Fan.
The Burly Man clearly recognized Howard, but had never seen Lin Fan before, the one who spoke being Lin Fan.
"Who’s this Asian kid?" the Burly Man asked Howard.
Howard, sweating, thought this was dangerous talk. Unable to warn him, he could only say, "Answer his question."
Upon hearing this, the Burly Man exhaled, saying, "What’s there? This girl acted out and offended a distinguished guest, the boss instructed me to teach her a lesson."
