Chapter 75: Humiliation

"Come on," Lin Yu sneered, looking at Wu Teng Qianqiu covered in blood, "let you see the outside scenery."

He gestured, and two Fourth Bureau elites immediately stepped forward, one on each side, grabbing Wu Teng Qianqiu and shoving him toward the window.

"See clearly." Lin Yu's voice carried a hint of teasing.

Wu Teng Qianqiu was forced to lift his head.

On the street, those originally arrogant French police were now fleeing in panic like stray dogs. They dropped their sidearms, even abandoning their hats, looking miserable under the German soldiers' guns.

Fully armed German soldiers were orderly taking over the district. They carried live ammunition, their steel helmets glinting coldly under the streetlights, sealing off the entire area.

On the distant clock tower, dark sniper muzzles appeared and disappeared.

In the corner café, several French police captains were being pointed at by German soldiers with guns, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Even the gate of the French Concession police station was sealed, with fully armed German soldiers standing at the entrance.

The entire district had completely fallen under Lin Yu's control.

"How is it?" Lin Yu whispered in his ear, "Is this scenery satisfactory?"

Wu Teng Qianqiu's face instantly turned deathly pale.

He finally understood.

From the moment he stepped into the Great Trinity, he had already fallen into a meticulously laid trap.

Those French police are utterly useless!

"Now you know fear?" Lin Yu sneered, "Too late."

He turned to Zhou Wei: "Tell the brothers outside, if anyone sees a French dog approaching tonight, kill them on sight."

"Yes!"

Wu Teng Qianqiu went limp by the window, trembling all over.

He knew he probably couldn't escape disaster tonight.

That madman really dares to do anything!

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly said: "Envoy Wu Teng Qianqiu, I'll give you another chance."

Wu Teng Qianqiu jerked his head up.

"Kneel," Lin Yu coldly said, "and verbally admit that the Eastern Ocean Empire is the sick man of Dongya, and I'll let you go."

The private room fell into dead silence.

Everyone held their breath.

This is no longer mere humiliation; it's about making the dignified Eastern Ocean Empire envoy lose all face here!

Wu Teng Qianqiu trembled all over, his face turning livid. He never imagined that the esteemed Eastern Ocean Empire envoy would end up like this.

Make him admit that the Eastern Ocean Empire is the sick man of Dongya?

This is an outrageous disgrace! It's more unbearable than killing him!

But...

He watched Lin Yu slowly raise the Winchester shotgun in his hand, his throat involuntarily moving. The guard's gruesome state from earlier was still vivid, and at close range the shotgun's power could blast a person into minced meat in an instant.

That dark muzzle was like the gaze of the grim reaper, making him shiver all over.

Lin Yu's eyes were filled with naked contempt and killing intent—truly the eyes of someone who dares to shoot, truly the eyes of a madman who cares nothing for consequences.

"How about it?" Lin Yu sneered, "Does the dignified Eastern Ocean Empire envoy not even have this bit of courage?"

Wu Teng Qianqiu clenched his teeth, the scar on his left eye twitching violently. He knew Lin Yu really dared to kill him, just as he had killed Gong Teng Youzuo, and just as he had killed that guard earlier.

The dark muzzle was within arm's reach, like the entrance to hell. The breath of death washed over him, nearly making him suffocate.

"Time's running out," Lin Yu said leisurely, his finger already on the trigger, "You'd better decide quickly."

Wu Teng Qianqiu felt an unprecedented humiliation. He, the dignified Eastern Ocean Empire envoy, had actually been driven to this point!

But...

He looked around at the dark muzzles, then at the bloody, mangled corpse on the ground. Those chunks of flesh and bloodstains constantly reminded him how close death was.

"I'll count to three," Lin Yu's icy voice said, "One..."

The muzzle crept forward a bit more.

Wu Teng Qianqiu could clearly see the dark interior of the barrel, where bullets lay that could tear him apart instantly.

Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks, mixing with the blood on his forehead, dripping to the ground.

"The Ninth Division..." Wu Teng Qianqiu forced out, voice trembling, "is already on its way to Shen City."

"Our warship is docked at Shen City harbor," he stared fixedly at Lin Yu, "if you dare move against me today, all of Shen City..."

"Shut up."

Lin Yu coldly cut off his threat.

"I know what you want to say," Lin Yu's voice tinged with mockery, "nothing more than how mighty your Eastern Ocean Empire is, how it could turn Shen City into scorched earth."

He stepped forward, the muzzle nearly pressing against Wu Teng Qianqiu's forehead.

"Perhaps some would be afraid," Lin Yu sneered, "perhaps some are weak-willed, bowing under your threats."

"But..."

His eyes suddenly sharpened: "I'm not!"

Wu Teng Qianqiu saw a madness in Lin Yu's eyes—a madness that disregards consequences and fears neither life nor death.

"You think I'd fear your warship?" Lin Yu sneered, "You think I'd fear your Ninth Division?"

"You..."

"I might as well tell you," Lin Yu's voice grew even colder, "just yesterday I ordered enough explosives placed at the harbor."

"What?"

"Your warship," Lin Yu curled his lips into a cruel smile, "as soon as I give the order, it can instantly become an iron coffin on the seabed."

Muto Chiaki's pupils contracted sharply.

"As for your Ninth Division," Lin Yu continued, "the sooner they arrive, the better. It'll give them a chance to see what 'no return' means."

The atmosphere in the private room froze instantly.

Everyone was stunned by Lin Yu's madness.

This is no longer a simple threat.

This is an outright declaration of war!

It is a contempt for the entire Oriental Empire!

Lin Yu looked at the System Prompt before him, a cold smile curling his lips. These Oriental people really are delivering toughness points right to his door.

However, this is only just beginning. When the Ninth Division arrives, that's when the real show starts. By then, it won't be a matter of just a few thousand toughness points.

He looked at the trembling Muto Chiaki before him, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. These Oriental people really don't know what's good for them.
