Failed Miserably, the Protagonist's Faction Went Bankrupt

In just a few days,

All the forces Lin Fan had cultivated in the shadows, as well as the trump cards left by his master, were gone.

Lin Fan was seething with anger.

Upon investigation,

It turned out that it was all connected to the Xu Family.

Those damn bastards.

They were clearly not giving him any room to survive.

Lin Fan was both furious and terrified. How did Xu Mo find out about the list of influential figures he had in his hands?

The more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

Recently, after the Li Family collapsed,

Li Caijun completely turned against him.

The Li Family's entire fortune was gone.

On one hand, Li Caijun had made some mistakes.

On the other hand, continuing to follow Lin Fan seemed hopeless.

Weighing the pros and cons,

Li Caijun decided to return abroad to seek a better life.

The domestic situation was too terrifying.

One wrong move could lead to utter ruin.

These past few days,

Li Caijun had truly learned what "cutthroat competition" meant.

The competition here was way too intense.

Abroad, if he was unhappy, he could just kill someone if he wanted to.

But here in the country, it was a lot more complicated.

Why the hell did he even come back when he was doing so well overseas?

Just thinking about it made him furious.

"Xu Mo, you damn dog, I'll start preparing again. When I return, I'll make sure your entire family pays with their lives! Those women of yours were supposed to be mine, you bastard."

At the Ma Family villa,

Lin Fan was cursing loudly in the living room.

Now that the tides had turned,

Stubbornly staying behind would only make him a laughingstock.

Lin Fan couldn't bear the humiliation.

Moreover, staying in the same city as his enemy,

Thinking every day about how his enemy was living a better life than him,

Made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

What the hell?!

Over the past few days,

Living under someone else's roof, he had endured many disdainful looks from the Ma Family's servants.

It wasn't even their property.

The Ma Family had gone bankrupt.

The servants were like resentful ghosts,

Staring at Lin Fan with wide eyes.

This made the Dragon King feel inexplicably irritated.

A true man born between heaven and earth, how could he live under someone else's roof for long?

So he decided to leave the next day and find a place of his own.

He couldn't stand looking at these people's ugly faces anymore.

Not long after,

Someone entered the living room.

It was Ma Qun.

At this moment, Ma Qun looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly having had a rough time.

Lin Fan put aside his own displeasure and warmly greeted him.

"Little Ma, you're back. Come, have a seat."

Ma Qun didn't refuse but also didn't say much.

Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.

Without needing to say much,

Lin Fan could guess what was on Ma Qun's mind.

Putting himself in Ma Qun's shoes,

The Ma Family's fortune was gone.

How could the person involved feel good about it?

If Ma Qun went out to buy fireworks to celebrate now, wouldn't that make him an ungrateful wretch?

Lin Fan first offered a few words of comfort,

Observing Ma Qun's expression.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved,

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and decided to share his own past experiences.

"Back then, I was alone and helpless, like a stray dog running away. I thought my life would end like that, but I refused to give up! It's not that I, Lin Fan, have some extraordinary ability, but I wanted to prove to the world that what I had lost, I would reclaim with my own hands!"

Some parts were omitted,

Like his escapades as a playboy.

Lin Fan didn't mention those at all.

Putting aside those minor flaws,

Lin Fan recounted his struggles of starting from scratch and building his career.

It was quite inspiring.

Ma Qun was completely taken aback.

Of course, it couldn't be denied that Lin Fan had talent.

That's why he had achieved what he had today.

Luck was also a factor in his success.

"Brother Lin, what's our next move?"

Ma Qun asked, visibly moved.

His eyes once again sparkled with determination.

Over the years, he had followed Lin Fan's lead.

Living a life of luxury abroad,

Surrounded by countless beautiful women.

But after returning to the country, he had been crushed, even to the point of bankruptcy.

How could he swallow this bitter pill?

Lin Fan was quite satisfied. His subordinate had finally shaken off his despondency and stopped dwelling on why the Ma Family had gone bankrupt.

This was the kind of person who could achieve great things!

"I think it's best if we return abroad to develop. Let Xu Mo, that damn dog, expand his family's business further. When we return with our overseas forces, we'll crush him completely, leaving no trace behind, and strip his women bare!"

Ma Qun thought this was a good idea.

The Ma Family still had some influence overseas.

With the Dragon King Hall,

They could stand tall and make their fortune again.

It was a feasible plan.

"Give me a week to clean up the mess here, and we'll return to familiar territory to start over."

Lin Fan promised to give half of the Dragon King Hall to Ma Qun.

Ma Qun remembered this and was deeply grateful.

Seeing that he had steadied Ma Qun,

Lin Fan felt much better.

It's lonely at the top!

When you've been at the top for too long,

You need someone who understands you.

Otherwise, it's just too lonely.

After chatting for a while,

Lin Fan returned to his room.

In the Ma Family,

Apart from Ma Qun,

No one else treated Lin Fan with any respect.

They acted as if Lin Fan owed them a fortune.

This made Lin Fan quite annoyed.

How dare these peasants!

How dare they look at him like that!

Who did they think he was? He was the Dragon King!

But then he thought, these people didn't know his true identity.

Ignorance is no crime.

Lin Fan let it go and made excuses for himself.

In the dead of night,

Justice quietly arrived.

Justice may be delayed, but it never fails to show up!

"All units, pay attention. The target is confirmed to be on the second floor of the villa, near the window."

"There are two bodyguards at the entrance, and three more at the end of the left hallway. The rest are just ordinary Ma Family servants."

Gao Liyuan's voice came through the earpiece.

The women had arrived.

This time, to kill Lin Fan,

Han Zhiqi had brought out all her resources.

An Youyi, Song Ligang, and Gao Liming were the main strike team.

No matter how skilled you are in martial arts,

You're no match for firearms.

Han Zhiqi had equipped An Youyi with a sniper rifle, a micro submachine gun, and a pistol, among other weapons.

Ammunition was plentiful.

Song Ligang was also given two micro submachine guns.

Returning to the country,

He hadn't touched these things in a long time.

This made Song Ligang feel a thrill.

He didn't know what Lin Fan had done to provoke such hatred from these women,

But since they weren't saying,

He didn't care to ask.

He just needed to do his job!

Despite his burly appearance, Song Ligang was highly skilled.

As for An Youyi, there was no need to elaborate.

And Gao Liming?

He didn't even need to enter the building.

He had high-tech nano-mosquitoes.

All he needed to do was play his role,

Using the nano-mosquitoes to sting Lin Fan from the outside.

The failure with Xu Mo last time had shattered his confidence.

But the young man had worked hard,

Developing new nano-mosquitoes!

Bigger and stronger!

The mosquito needles were enlarged, and the potency of the drugs was increased!

Gao Liming refused to believe he would fail again this time.

As support,

Han Zhiqi and the others were stationed at possible escape routes to intercept Lin Fan.

The Han Family had sent twenty skilled fighters,

Each armed with a pistol.

Some of these men had lost close friends during Lin Fan's nighttime raid.

When they heard from the young mistress that the culprit had been found,

They eagerly joined the mission, ready for action.

Under Gao Liyuan's direction, they spread out around the Ma Family villa.

The small teams were dispersed strategically,

Ensuring they could quickly reinforce each other if needed!

It was like a Russian nesting doll of reinforcements.

With over twenty pistols aimed at him,

Lin Fan had no chance of escape.

Inside the villa,

Lin Fan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Since starting his career, he had never faced such setbacks and humiliation!

Back then, he had no choice but to leave his hometown.

Now, as a king returning in triumph,

He should have countless beauties by his side.

Anyone who dared to oppose him should have been crushed underfoot.

Lin Fan didn't know where things had gone wrong.

From time to time, he felt an inexplicable emptiness.

It was as if something that had always belonged to him had suddenly disappeared.

"Damn it, it must be Xu Mo's fault!"

Lin Fan cursed as he got out of bed.

What to do if he couldn't sleep?

Simple.

Don't sleep.

Lin Fan decided to go out for a late-night snack and then head to a bar for some excitement and eye candy.

Distant water can't quench immediate thirst,

But nearby water can.

Crash-------------

The glass in his hand suddenly slipped and shattered on the floor.

It broke into pieces,

Spilling water everywhere.

Lin Fan stared blankly at the shards of glass.

A broken heart is like shattered glass...

"No way, this can't be happening!"

Lin Fan frowned and immediately denied it.

He was a practitioner of ancient martial arts.

He couldn’t even hold a small cup steady.

What the hell was all that training for?

What a useless piece of trash!!!

When something seems off, there’s always a reason.

(The sound of an elephant’s roar startles the melon stall owner, BGM playing in the background…)

Lin Fan raised his head, his gaze filled with uncertainty as he looked ahead.

Then, with a sudden *snap*, it happened fast.

His eyelids began to twitch.

At first, it was slow, but then it got faster and faster.

“Damn it, something’s wrong!”

Lin Fan quickly put on his clothes.

He moved to the window.

However, he didn’t stand directly in front of it.

Instead, he stood by the wall.

Focusing all his attention on his hearing.

Soon enough.

Lin Fan realized something was off.

It was too quiet outside.

Eerily silent.

His sharp instincts, honed from life-and-death battles on the battlefield, kicked in.

Buzzzzzzz--------------

Three mosquitoes landed nearby.

They didn’t dare to fly further.

These mosquitoes were different from ordinary ones.

Because they were nano-mosquitoes.

“Holy crap, everyone, be alert! The Dragon King might have noticed something.”

Through the perspective transmitted by the nano-mosquitoes.

Gao Liming took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

Damn it.

He had just controlled these nano-mosquitoes to fly in not long ago.

He was looking for an opportunity to strike.

But who would have thought Lin Fan wasn’t asleep either.

And he suddenly got up.

This made Gao Liming’s heart race with fear.

He had set traps for people countless times, rarely ever slipping up.

Was he about to mess up again this time?

Meanwhile, An Youyi and Song Ligang had already infiltrated the Ma Family’s villa.

The bodyguards weren’t even on the level of qigong masters.

They were quickly knocked out.

This time, their targets were only Lin Fan and Ma Qun.

They had no intention of harming innocent people.

“It’s a trap!!”

Lin Fan took a deep breath, his gaze turning ice-cold!

Whether it was or not.

He couldn’t stay here any longer.

Bang---------

Lin Fan kicked the door open with full force.

He rushed toward Ma Qun’s room.

Seeing this, Gao Liming was dumbfounded.

Damn it, he hadn’t even controlled the mosquitoes to bite anyone yet!

This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

“Dong Guai, Dong Guai, this is Pangolin. The Dragon King has noticed something’s wrong. You guys need to move faster!”

Gao Liming said urgently.

The people outside were startled.

An Youyi and Song Ligang quickly charged into the building.

An Youyi was much faster than Song Ligang.

Even fully armed.

Song Ligang was no match for her.

On Lin Fan’s side, he deliberately made a lot of noise.

Over the past few days.

After the Ma Family went bankrupt.

They had let go of many servants.

The villa was now sparsely populated, with only about twenty people left.

But that was enough to buy some time.

As Lin Fan’s commotion grew louder.

Most of the Ma Family members were awakened.

Ma Qun came out of his room, looking at Lin Fan with confusion.

If Lin Fan weren’t his sworn brother.

If Lin Fan weren’t the leader of the Dragon King Hall.

Being disturbed in the middle of the night.

With Ma Qun’s temperament, he would have had someone dragged out and executed long ago.

“Brother Lin, what’s going on?”

“Get dressed quickly. We need to leave here as soon as possible!”

Lin Fan’s expression was serious, his tone firm, leaving no room for jokes.

Ma Qun was startled but didn’t hesitate to trust Lin Fan.

However, the other members of the Ma Family who had been woken up were furious.

They already had a lot of grievances against Lin Fan.

Especially the Ma Family’s butler.

This young man had brought ruin to their entire family.

“Lin Fan, what more do you want from the Ma Family?! We’ve already had a tough day, and now you’re disturbing us at night. You’re nothing but a curse, a disaster!”

Lin Fan’s eyes turned fierce. “Say that again if you dare!”

The butler, an elderly man who had served the Ma Family diligently for decades.

He had served three generations of the Ma Family.

The family’s fortune.

Had grown under his watch.

Only to be destroyed by this young man named Lin Fan.

The butler had been holding in his anger for too long, and this time, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Lin Fan’s gaze was terrifying.

But the butler was too angry to care.

Besides, he didn’t believe Lin Fan would actually lay a hand on him.

So he continued to glare and curse.

“You little brat, I spit on you…”

Before the butler could finish.

Lin Fan grabbed him by the throat.

“Do you really think I’m some pushover?”

The butler’s face turned red.

Ma Qun, who had just finished changing, rushed out upon hearing the commotion.

“Brother Lin, what are you doing?!”

Lin Fan let go of the butler. “For Ma Qun’s sake, I’ll let this slide. I’m trying to save his life, do you understand?”

The butler collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Seeing this.

Ma Qun felt a surge of anger.

This old butler was someone Ma Qun deeply respected.

Lin Fan had gone too far this time.

Just as he was about to say something.

A terrified scream came from downstairs.

“Young master, run! Someone’s here to kill you!”

The voice was cut off almost immediately.

Upstairs, panic spread even further.

Lin Fan’s suspicions were confirmed.

“Let’s get out of here now!”

Ma Qun was still hesitant.

Lin Fan said, “Their target is probably us. The others should be safe. If you leave, they’ll be fine.”

Only then did Ma Qun agree to escape with Lin Fan.

The two of them made their way to a more hidden exit.

They didn’t know how many people had infiltrated.

Or what the situation was.

Ma Qun was ready to fight, but Lin Fan insisted on fleeing.

The frequency of his eyelid twitching decided everything.

Under Lin Fan’s insistence.

Ma Qun had no choice but to follow him.

And trailing behind them.

Were three nano-mosquitoes.

These three nano-mosquitoes.

Flew off in different directions.

One of them accidentally landed on Ma Qun’s clothes.
