Chapter 1341 - 1340: Return to Dark Paradise

Dark Paradise!

This is where the powerhouses of the Dark Realm gather. It's basically a no man's land—cops can't touch it, the state can't touch it. Here, it's survival of the fittest; only brute strength counts as law!

A pitch-black street, with half-finished buildings on both sides. Along the street, streetlights are spaced so far apart that you only get a faint glow. You could say this pitch-dark street is just barely lit, enough to see what's right in front of you!

In the dark corners stand one sexy woman after another. These women are streetwalkers, people from the Dark Realm. They never care about money—what they want is pure pleasure. So when these streetwalkers come here, they can charge sky-high prices!

Of course, in a place where nobody's in charge, guns and the like are everywhere. Walk down the main street and you'll see people swaggering by with weapons on their backs!

"Creak~"

Just then, a car slowly rolled in and pulled up by the curb. The door opened, and a man in a sharp suit stepped out of the car!

His outfit made him look more like some successful businessman, so the moment he appeared, he instantly drew a lot of attention!

After all, this is a playground for the Dark Realm's strong. Without someone to introduce or vouch for you, ordinary people don't get in here!

But when the people around got a clear look at this young man, some showed fear and hurriedly shrank back, while others just looked puzzled!

"Hey, handsome, wanna have some fun? You're so good-looking, I can give you fifty percent off!"

One streetwalker sauntered up to the young man, draped her smooth arm over his shoulder, and breathed fragrance into his face!

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your kind of women." The young man smiled faintly. With a slight shake of his shoulder he flicked her arm away, then strode off!

"Ungrateful bastard, you dare to reject me? I hope you don't walk out of Dark Paradise alive tonight!"

The streetwalker cursed viciously!

But she didn't bother to lower her voice at all, so the young man heard every single word clearly!

"Swish~"

Suddenly, the young man whipped around, and with the momentum of his turn his arm swept out through the air; his right hand flicked hard, and a black shadow shot toward the streetwalker!

"Aah~"

The streetwalker let out a scream, clutching at her ear. She saw that a long silver needle was jammed through her ear, blood spurting out nonstop!

"Damn you! I'm gonna kill you! I swear I'll kill you!" The streetwalker howled like a madwoman!

"Hope your wish comes true."

The young man smiled blandly, turned, and walked off at a brisk pace, not taking her words to heart at all, completely carefree!

He'd barely gone a short distance when two young men suddenly appeared on both sides of the street. They came up to the streetwalker whose ear was pierced by the silver needle and, without a word, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into the darkness beside the street!

"Ah~"

Before long, a woman's screams echoed from the darkness off the street. The outcome was obvious!

Hearing those screams, the other girls all shivered in terror!

"Wh-what the hell just happened?" one of the girls asked, confused.

"She pissed off someone she shouldn't have." Not far away, a man squatting by a wall, polishing the Military Dagger in his hand, suddenly spoke up.

"You mean that guy?" the girl asked in shock.

"That's right." The man nodded.

"Who… is he?"

"He's the Tyrant."

...

After about fifty meters, the sides of the street suddenly lined up with rows of shabby two-story buildings!

The young man headed toward a club blasting heavy metal, nylon lights on the roof, and several blown-out bulbs.

Without a doubt, this young man was Lin Fan!

"Mr. Tyrant!"

As Lin Fan walked up to the club, the two brawny men guarding the door immediately greeted him respectfully!

"Take me to see Thompson," Lin Fan said.

"Yes, Mr. Tyrant, please follow me!"

The big man made a gesture of invitation and led Lin Fan into the club, then through a narrow hallway by the corner wall toward a room!

At the door, the big man knocked. A voice from inside called, "Come in." The big man gestured to Lin Fan to go ahead, then left alone!

Lin Fan pushed the door open. A half-dressed woman was hurrying around the room. When she saw Lin Fan, panic flashed across her face and she rushed out of the room!

Lin Fan looked up and saw a middle-aged man by the sofa, fat and gone to seed, with long, messy blond curls like a bird's nest, buckling his belt!

"Oh~ my dear Mr. Tyrant, long time no see!"

The middle-aged man burst out laughing when he saw Lin Fan.

This was none other than the Dark Realm broker, Thompson!

In the Dark Realm he controlled a huge web of contacts and connections, with informants spread all over the place and an enormous information database!

And many of the assassination contracts posted on the Dark Website had gone through Thompson as the intermediary!

Starting from his grandfather, three generations of Thompsons had upheld the title of "Dark Realm Broker."

For what happened in the Dark Realm in the past and what's happening now—events, people—his massive information vault has detailed records on most of it; there's almost nothing he can't dig up!

Back when Lin Fan was fighting his way around the world, a lot of intel came from Thompson's mouth!

"Thompson, your body still holding up? At your age, not worried about keeling over while you ****?" Lin Fan joked half-seriously.

"Oh~ compared to a few years ago, I'm definitely worse off, but playing around with a few chicks is still no problem."

Thompson laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Tyrant, what brings you to visit a lonely old man like me?"

"Something came up."

Lin Fan walked over to the sofa, saw the fluids on it, and frowned in disgust. He dragged over a chair instead, sat down, crossed one leg over the other, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, tossed one to Thompson, and lit one for himself.

Thompson took a greedy drag, his expression like he was smoking weed, and asked, "What could possibly stump you?"

"Any major upheavals in the Dark Realm lately?" Lin Fan asked, exhaling smoke.

"Aside from your girlfriend's Yanyu Group rising like a storm, there haven't really been any big tremors in the Dark Realm." Thompson said with a smile.

"Oh? Then have you ever heard of robots?" Lin Fan asked.

Lin Fan had been roaming the world for years and had never once heard anything about robots!

This time he'd come to Thompson precisely to search this 'information vault' for anything about 'robots'!

"Robots?"

Thompson's brows knit tightly the moment he heard the word!

Seeing Thompson's expression, Lin Fan's eyes lit up with a hint of expectation. He hurriedly said, "You know?"
