You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Inside the core control room, the salty smell of seawater mingled with the burnt smell of electronic components.

Lin Chen locked Jack's throat with one hand, the veins on his arm throbbing slightly from the force, revealing a kind of savage explosive power.

The moment he was exposed, Jack's fat face, which had been filled with fear and pleading, twisted like a broken film reel.

The seemingly unfocused pupils in his eyes suddenly focused within a fraction of a second, radiating a chilling, venomous aura.

"Lin Chen, you really... deserve to die..."

Jack's voice was no longer honest; it became sharp and piercing, like sandpaper polishing metal, filled with hysterical madness.

He personally tore apart the disguise.

Even while suspended in mid-air, Jack's hands, hidden beneath his oversized sleeves, continued to tremble violently at an extremely unnatural frequency.

Click.

A barely perceptible sound of a mechanical lock popping open.

Six special steel playing cards, completely black with edges sharpened to be sharper than scalpels, slid down his sleeve and into his fingers.

The distance between the two was less than half a meter.

At this distance, even the most advanced bulletproof vest cannot stop this deadly weapon, powered by a high-energy spring and launched with the unique technique of a magician.

"Go to hell!"

Jack roared ferociously and swung his wrist violently.

Six black rays pierced the dim air and spread out in a fan shape.

Three shots were aimed directly at Lin Chen's eyes, two were aimed at his throat, and the last one was aimed at the wrist that Lin Chen was gripping his throat with a vicious slash.

This is Jack's famous life-saving technique – "Death Shuffle".

The number of Interpol agents and competitors who have died from this move is too many to count on two hands.

however.

Lin Chen didn't even blink.

[God-level magic hand speed], unleashing full power.

Lin Chen's left hand left a blurry, distorted afterimage in the air, so fast that even the remaining surveillance cameras in the control room could only capture a distorted ripple.

Brush brush!

Several extremely rapid, extremely faint metallic clanging sounds burst through the air.

That was the popping sound produced by the high-speed friction between the skin of the fingers and the edge of the stainless steel.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.

Jack's sinister smile froze.

His bloodshot eyes stared intently ahead, his mouth agape, and a horrified "gurgling" sound came from his throat.

Lin Chen remained standing in the same spot, his posture not even changing much.

But his left hand, which had been free, was now held out in front of him.

Between his index and middle fingers, middle and ring fingers, and ring and little fingers, six deadly steel playing cards were neatly held.

The edge of each playing card was less than a millimeter away from the skin between Lin Chen's fingers.

But that one millimeter became an insurmountable barrier for Jack.

"Playing cards?"

Lin Chen stared coldly at Jack, a chilling smile curving his lips.

"You think you can play this game in front of me? I'm your ancestor!"

Lin Chen's fingertips gently caressed the cold card surface; the sharpness that could even cut a hair was as docile as a stack of waste paper in his hand.

Jack felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment.

His lifelong expertise in concealed weapon techniques seemed as naive as a newborn baby learning to choose their first birthday present in front of this man.

"Here you go."

Lin Chen had just finished speaking.

His wrist suddenly flipped at a frequency that defied physical logic.

There were no large swinging movements, just a slight tremor in the fingers and wrist.

The six steel playing cards, moving several times faster than when they arrived, transformed into six black streaks of death and were thrown back the way they came!

puff!

The dull thuds of sharp blades slicing through flesh and severing tendons filled the air.

"ah--!!!"

Jack let out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed wildly through the empty passageway.

Six playing cards pierced his wrists and ankles with perfect accuracy.

Two of them precisely severed his Achilles tendon.

Blood gushed out, turning the surrounding seawater a shocking dark red.

Jack's once burly body instantly went limp, like a puddle of mud, and he crashed heavily onto the waterlogged floor.

His hands, which had once manipulated countless ingenious mechanisms, were now twisted at an eerie angle, his fingertips twitching weakly.

He's ruined.

This "magician," who has dominated the international arena and caused headaches for countless countries, couldn't even last a single round against Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stepped forward and stomped on Jack's face, which was wet with seawater.

The hard soles of the tactical boots rubbed against Jack's face, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

"Your performance was terrible."

Lin Chen looked down at him, his eyes devoid of any pity.

He turned his head and looked at the double assassin who was still holding the detonator.

The other party was so frightened by Lin Chen's inhuman methods that they fell into a state of mental paralysis. Their fingers were frozen on the button, but they couldn't press it no matter what they did.

Lin Chen reached out and snatched the scarlet detonator directly from the other person's hand.

That was Jack's last bargaining chip.

But in Lin Chen's hands, it was just a cheap piece of plastic.

Click.

Lin Chen's five fingers suddenly tightened, and the terrifying force instantly crushed the detonator into a pile of scrapped parts and circuit boards.

As the detonator shattered, the invisible electromagnetic barrier that had enveloped the entire Miracle Island disintegrated instantly, like a burst bubble.

Nourishes—

Suddenly, a noisy electrical sound came from the communicator in Lin Chen's pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qingge's anxious, tearful voice came through clearly.

"Lin Chen! Lin Chen, can you hear me? Answer me!"

Lin Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and pressed the communication button.

"Team Leader Su, stop shouting, you're going deaf."

Lin Chen's voice remained steady, even carrying a hint of teasing.

"Jack has been caught. He's crippled and can't escape."

"Notify the Land Administration that communications have been restored across the island and the alert has been lifted."

"Also... tell Su Ke'er to stop crying. This outfit of mine is brand new, and she's covered it in snot."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's voice on the other end of the phone, Su Qingge felt completely exhausted and leaned against the wall.

She frantically wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted into the microphone:

"You just wait! I'm taking my men down there right now!"
