Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 600: Compensation for Emotional Distress
She received scientific training, believed in the laws of physics, and believed that everything has its own laws and limits.
The human body is fragile; flesh and blood cannot withstand a sharp blade—this is basic common sense.
But what was happening before her eyes completely overturned her understanding of the world.
An unprecedented fear rose from the depths of her heart, as if a pair of cold hands had gripped her throat.
That fear didn't come from rational analysis, but from an instinctive, primal tremor.
Her legs went weak.
A strong sense of regret filled her heart.
Who exactly did she offend?
How could a person be so terrifying?
She remembered the intelligence reports she had read as exaggerated, the warnings marked in red pen—they were all true, all true.
Catherine wanted to escape, to resist, but her body was dominated by fear, like a mouse before a cat.
But Lin Feng simply extended a finger and gently tapped her shoulder.
A strange energy surged into her body through the point of contact, and Catherine was horrified to find herself unable to move, as if she had been under some kind of spell.
She could feel her breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow, but she couldn't control any part of her body, not even the movement of her eyes.
Then, Lin Feng grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the booth.
The two walked out of the coffee shop one after the other, and a passing waiter even smiled and said, "Welcome to visit again next time."
Lin Feng led her into a small alley next to the coffee shop.
This is a narrow gap between two buildings, piled with several discarded cardboard boxes and a rusty iron bucket.
Lin Feng didn't say anything unnecessary. He put his hand on Catherine's neck and twisted it cleanly.
Catherine's life ended in that instant.
Her eyes were still open, her pupils dilated, and the last emotions that remained in them were fear, confusion, and a deep sense of resentment.
She never understood, even until her death, whether Lin Feng was human or not.
In an instant, he was completely devoured by the black lotus, as if he had never existed.
At the same time, a flood of memories rushed into Lin Feng's mind.
Catherine Dupont, 36 years old, French, was born into a middle-class family in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
Her father was a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and later gained admission to the École Polytechnique in Paris.
This prestigious school, known as the "cradle of French elites," admits fewer than 500 students each year, with an acceptance rate even lower than Harvard's.
Catherine majored in Computer Science and Cryptography there and graduated in the top three of her class.
After graduation, she was directly recruited by the French Directorate General for External Security.
The DGSE is one of France's most important intelligence agencies, specializing in overseas intelligence gathering and espionage operations.
Catherine was assigned to the economic intelligence department, ostensibly as a commercial attaché abroad, but her actual job was to collect technical and commercial secrets of foreign companies.
France is renowned worldwide for its expertise in industrial espionage.
The commercial intelligence that DGSE steals from countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan each year is worth tens of billions of euros.
Catherine served in the DGSE for eight years, carrying out dozens of missions in Asia and the Americas.
Her specialty is infiltration and disguise; she can transform into anyone as needed for a mission.
She is fluent in six languages and has a high level of expertise in behavioral psychology and social engineering. She is rated as an A-level agent in the DGSE's internal files.
During her time at DGSE, Catherine amassed a vast network of connections and technical expertise, and witnessed a wealth of readily available opportunities.
Starting seven years ago, she began taking advantage of her position to do private work.
Initially, it was just petty theft, stealing one or two insignificant documents from the target company's safe and selling them to a third party;
Later, he became bolder and began to take on commissions on his own, gradually transforming from a commercial spy into a full-time international thief.
With the advantages of her previous identity and network, her business thrived all over the world.
Their clients are located on every continent, ranging from oil tycoons to tech moguls, from jewelers to arms dealers—all sorts of people.
Over seven years, Catherine committed numerous crimes.
Her methods were precise and elegant, leaving no trace. Law enforcement agencies in various countries were unaware that these cases were committed by the same person.
The items she stole included oil paintings and antique jewelry.
The core source code of multinational technology companies, as well as cold wallet private keys for a large number of bearer bonds and cryptocurrencies.
Her total net worth exceeds five hundred million US dollars.
He owns a three-story villa on the outskirts of Paris, an apartment with a sea view in Cannes and Monaco, and three sports cars parked in his garage.
Her wealth was spread across twelve different accounts in seven countries and managed through a complex network of offshore companies.
Even if Interpol investigates for ten years, it may not be able to unravel the whole story.
However, her main wealth was still held in Paris, France.
That was her base camp, and the place she considered the safest.
Her original goal for coming to Las Vegas was only one thing: the billion US dollars in cash from the Black Lotus Casino.
This number is enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
Catherine had calculated that if she pulled off this job,
She can retire completely, no longer have to travel the world, no longer have to live in constant fear, and can live a peaceful and stable old age with a completely new identity.
A billion US dollars, even if you squander it all, you could live on it for your next life.
She made ample preparations for this billion dollars.
In her understanding, becoming a small casino owner would be a piece of cake.
They had even prepared a plan on how to deal with the robbers.
When the time comes, she'll be the one getting all the dirty work done.
She investigated the Black Lotus Casino's security system and found it riddled with vulnerabilities that could be easily breached.
She bribed the recruiter for the croupier position, forged a flawless resume, and then infiltrated the casino.
At the same time, she recruited a team of experienced robbers through the online black market.
The entire plan was almost flawless; the only variable was that she hadn't expected Lin Feng, the mastermind behind the Black Lotus Casino, to be completely outside her comprehension.
After sorting through these memories, Lin Feng confirmed that Catherine acted alone and there was no other mastermind behind it.
DGSE also had no idea of her whereabouts. She had already officially resigned from the intelligence department, and all her subsequent actions were personal.
Lin Feng then ended his search of memories.
He casually flipped through the items he had taken from Catherine.
He now carried a delicate, waterproof pouch.
Upon opening it, I found two black cards from a Swiss bank.
According to my memory, each of those two Swiss bank cards had a balance of about 20 million US dollars, totaling 40 million.
"The idea was good, but unfortunately it ran into me," Lin Feng said casually, then turned and walked out of the alley.
Lin Feng's figure moved through the crowd and disappeared around the corner of the street after a few steps.
When he returned to the villa, Sarah was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.
She was wearing only a silk nightgown, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.
The advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
Seeing Lin Feng push the door open and come in, she immediately stood up and went to greet him.
"How's it going?" Sarah asked with concern.
Lin Feng changed out of his coat, sat down on the sofa, took the warm water Salad offered and took a sip: "That dealer has been caught by the FBI."
Upon hearing this, Sarah's expression immediately turned angry.
"That bitch should be beaten to death."
I've treated her well enough; I pay her a higher salary than anyone else, and I've always been kind to her. Yet she's such an ungrateful wretch.
"That traitor! I thought she was quite efficient at her work, and I was planning to give her a raise next month."
Seeing Sarah's furious expression, Lin Feng smiled and patted the back of her hand to comfort her:
"When faced with enormous profits, people's hearts are hard to fathom."
With a billion US dollars in front of them, few people could resist the temptation.
If it were me, I would also be willing to take the risk if such an opportunity were presented to me.
Risk and reward are proportional; that's human nature, and it has nothing to do with how good or bad you are to her.
Sarah's anger subsided somewhat upon hearing this, but she was still fuming.
She listened to Lin Feng's words and understood his reasoning, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.
"However," Lin Feng changed the subject, "that croupier's identity is not simple either."
Sarah's curiosity was piqued, and she turned to look at Lin Feng:
"Oh? Just who is this bitch?"
"An internationally renowned commercial spy, originally from the French Directorate General for External Security, specializing in stealing trade secrets."
He later retired from public office to work independently, handling countless cases worldwide and amassing a fortune of hundreds of millions.
"He has a great reputation in the industry, and his methods are very professional," Lin Feng summarized succinctly.
After listening, Sarah remained silent for a few seconds. "I see. No wonder they were able to infiltrate my casino. People from DGSE are definitely professionals."
She paused, then asked, "Will this bitch be sentenced to prison?"
I've heard that these transnational cases are very difficult to prosecute. After being extradited back and forth, they usually end up just going to another place to continue their lives at large.
Besides, she's an employee of DGSE; if she's extradited back, she might just get out again through connections.
Lin Feng: "We don't need to go through those procedures anymore."
I've already had her shot in secret; she's gone to meet God now.
Sarah paused for a moment, then nodded, her expression completely relaxing.
"That's good.
Keeping this kind of person around is just asking for trouble. Going through all the legal procedures would take forever, and who knows what unexpected problems might arise. It's easiest to just get rid of them.
Lin Feng took out the Swiss bank card from his pocket and handed it to Sarah.
The black card gleamed under the light.
"What's this for?" Sarah asked curiously, taking the card.
"The bank cards we found on that woman," Lin Feng explained.
"There are probably twenty million US dollars inside, consider it compensation for your emotional distress."
