After hearing Lin Fan's words, the smile on Dragon King's face vanished, and his expression turned solemn!

Seeing this, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise. For something to make Dragon King this serious, it definitely wasn't a small matter!

"What exactly happened? If it's another 'go abroad and help us out' thing, then forget it. I'm about to work myself to death here, I need a few days off." Lin Fan gave Dragon King a preventive shot first.

However, Dragon King shook his head and said, "This time it's not my problem, it's yours."

"My problem? What problem?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Dragon King didn't speak. Instead, he waved at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng understood and immediately took out a tablet, opened a folder, and pulled up a video from inside!

And this video was exactly the one where Lin Fan finished delivering the package and deliberately showed off in front of the camera downstairs at the Mitsubishi Conglomerate building!

Lin Fan said carelessly, "What? Something wrong with this video?"

"This video was sent from East Asian. Your identity has been exposed over there. The top brass in East Asian know you're Huaxia, so they sent the footage over, hoping we'd cooperate with them to capture you!" Dragon King said in a deep voice.

"Capture me? Looks like those Little Devils still aren't satisfied with the way I 'served' them, huh? Maybe I should go find an arms dealer someday, buy a couple of nukes and lob them over there?!" Lin Fan let out a cold laugh.

Dragon King said, "I know you're cocky, kid, but I didn't think you were this over-the-top. Anyway, don't worry, I've already brushed this off."

"Oh? How'd you brush it off?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"As soon as we got the news, we immediately informed Elder Long. Elder Long sent East Asian a single line: this person is Tyrant, one of the three Emperors of the Dark Realm, a terrorist. You want us to cooperate with you—are you trying to drag us into trouble? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Huaxia. You think we're your free hired thugs?"

"If we end up pissing off Tyrant and our people get hurt, can you afford that? The lives of our citizens are far more precious than you cheap Little Devils!"

"After receiving Elder Long's message, East Asian had no choice but to send over a bunch of people to search, but they were all arrested by people arranged by Dragon King. So far, everyone East Asian sent over to look for you has been detained for suspicious identity. You can rest easy now!"

Yang Feng explained the situation to Lin Fan as it was.

After hearing this, a trace of gratitude appeared on Lin Fan's face.

He had to admit, Dragon King was damn domineering. In these kinds of diplomatic dealings between nations, people usually value tact and smoothness.

But the line Dragon King had Elder Long throw at East Asian showed no mercy at all—basically a slap across their face!

After all, Dragon King was a soldier who survived the War of Resistance. When it came to Little Devils, naturally he had zero fondness!

"Old man, not bad, that's some real swagger!" Lin Fan chuckled.

"You brat, still think I'm the bad guy now? I helped you because you're a soldier of our country. So… still planning to quit the army?" Dragon King said with a helpless smile.

"Old man, if you hadn't mentioned enlisting, I almost forgot—my identity's been leaked!" Lin Fan remembered the files Deke had given him, and his heart still held a bit of lingering fear!

Aside from Deke, Lin Fan had no idea who else had those files. If the info got widely spread, it would be a fatal blow to him!

"The intel's been leaked?"

When Dragon King heard this, his face also changed drastically on the spot!

He understood full well how serious this was!

Dragon King immediately looked at Yang Feng, his gaze stern as he barked, "What the hell is going on?"

Under Dragon King's intimidating gaze, Yang Feng hurriedly said, "I… I'm not sure either. I clearly upgraded Mr. Lin's file to S-level confidentiality!"

"S-level isn't enough. Upgrade it to SSS-level immediately, and take the file out and put it under my custody. Also, every person who has seen this file, investigate them one by one. Anyone even slightly suspicious—interrogate them strictly!"

Dragon King roared, and it was obvious he was angry!

Whether considering the pros and cons for Lin Fan or the nature of this matter, it basically amounted to a traitorous act. How could Dragon King not be furious!

"Yes! I'll get to the bottom of this immediately!" Yang Feng didn't dare hesitate and quickly nodded.

"Alright, old man, look at you scaring our Minister Yang like that. It's already noon, let's eat. I haven't eaten all day, I'm starving!" Lin Fan smoothed things over, easing the tense atmosphere quite a bit.

"I'll go have that girl Weiwei cook right away." Dragon King said with a smile.

At noon, Lin Fan had a good meal at Dragon Garden. After the meal, he didn't stay long. He headed to the airport to catch a plane back to his sect to regroup with Meina and the others!

On the way, he took a plane, then a train, then a car, a motorcycle, and even a horse-drawn carriage. Lin Fan practically experienced every mode of transportation from ancient times to modern day before finally arriving at that remote little town!

By the time he arrived, it was close to dusk, the busiest time at the marketplace. Lots of people were buying veggies to cook dinner and whatnot. Lin Fan, familiar with the way, headed straight to Chun's teahouse!

Lin Fan walked into the teahouse and bumped right into Chun. Chun froze for a second when she saw him and said, "You… you're that old Lin's disciple, Lin Fan, right?"

"It's me, Chun." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Come on in, your master's inside!"

Chun smiled, then shouted loudly into the room, "Old Lin, your disciple's here!"

Lin Fan walked into the teahouse and saw that old coot Lin Kongxian playing mahjong with three other old men. Just as Lin Fan stepped in, Lin Kongxian pulled a fake win, and the three old men exploded, demanding he pay up!

"Pay what? Didn't we say the last round doesn't count for money?" The old man started playing the rascal.

"Old Lin, you damn old scoundrel, this isn't the last round at all, you have to pay!" one of the old men shouted.

"Didn't you see my disciple just showed up? He's here because of something important. If you three old farts delay my important business, can you afford that? Besides, this is just a few bucks, right? You think I can't afford it? Hey, Lin Fan, front the money for me!" Lin Kongxian said with a face full of fake generosity.

"Why me?" Lin Fan said gloomily. You're acting all magnanimous, but I'm the one paying!

"If you hadn't suddenly shown up and startled me, would I have faked a win? Cut the crap and hurry up, pay!" Lin Kongxian said righteously and shamelessly.

Lin Fan was completely defeated by this old man's shamelessness, so he pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the three old men, telling them to keep the change.

But the moment he said that, Lin Kongxian turned around and laid into him with a barrage of scolding.

He cursed Lin Fan for being a wastrel who didn't know how to manage money, forced the three old men to give back ten yuan in change, then stuffed it into his own waistband, his face finally showing a satisfied expression!

Lin Fan seriously suspected his own shamelessness had to be contagious from this old man. Truly a bad influence on his disciple!
