18: He slowly stopped being a boy.

That night.

As scheduled, Lin Feng arrived at Warehouse Area 7 of the Donghai Third Port.

Wolf Fang and Wolf Eye were waiting for Lin Feng at the location.

Wolf Fang was a fierce, burly man, clearly the combat specialist of Lin Feng's team.

In fact, he possessed the highest combat strength in the entire Mercenary Group, second only to Lin Feng.

Dozens of scars covered his back—gunshot wounds, knife wounds—each one a testament to his survival in life-and-death struggles.

Wolf Eye was a youth wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking barely of age, as if he had just become an adult.

Driven by a thirst for excitement, he had chosen to join Lin Feng's Mercenary Group at the age of sixteen.

He was a hacker, ranked thirty-ninth on the global hacker rankings, and served as the intelligence specialist for the Mercenary Group.

"Thanks, Wolf Eye. If it weren't for the new identity you crafted, Wolf Fang wouldn't have been able to come," Lin Feng patted Wolf Eye's shoulder and thanked him sincerely.

Wolf Eye deserved much of the credit for the rapid development of his Mercenary Group over the past few years.

"It's nothing. I was planning to come anyway; I just brought this big dummy along for the ride."

Wolf Eye and Wolf Fang usually didn't get along, so Wolf Eye didn't hesitate to mock the burly man.

"Me, a dummy? You little brat," Wolf Fang retorted stubbornly.

"Big dummy, you only know how to use brute force. Do you even know how to use your brain?"

"Little brat."

"Big dummy."

"Little brat."

"Big dummy."

"..."

Standing there, Lin Feng had long anticipated this situation.

But he had no choice; he needed Wolf Fang as a bodyguard and Wolf Eye as an intelligence master.

"Alright, alright, let's unload the goods first," Lin Feng said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

Hearing this, Wolf Fang obediently went to unload the cargo, showing great loyalty to his mercenary captain.

Wolf Eye, however, wouldn't do such a thing.

He was a man who used his brain, not his brawn.

"Captain, why do you need these medicinal herbs this time?" Wolf Eye asked curiously.

"I've taken a master in Dragon Country who taught me true martial arts. These herbs are for breaking through to a higher martial realm.

When that time comes, I will definitely return overseas to reclaim our territory." Lin Feng clenched his fists, feeling resentful about his own weakness.

He had been utterly routed by the hateful Hades Hall, even losing his territory.

Just as Lin Feng was fantasizing about trampling the Ling Corporation and Hades Hall underfoot, enjoying life in Dragon Country with beautiful women by his side, a figure appeared and shattered his dreams.

Yue Cailan appeared, gripping her police pistol. Because she had been hiding in the shadows for so long, her chest heaved as she emerged.

"Freeze! Police!"

As those words fell, more and more police officers emerged from the shadows.

A rough estimate put them at over a dozen.

Lin Feng immediately stopped what he was doing and raised his hands above his head.

However, the gloom on his face could not hide the feeling of having swallowed a fly.

"Who on earth leaked the news? Just wait until I catch them."

Seeing this, Wolf Fang shouted at Lin Feng, "Boss, why be afraid of them? I'll help you fight our way out!"

Wolf Eye glanced at Wolf Fang and muttered, "Brainless idiot."

Did Lin Feng not want to?

Overseas, it wouldn't matter even if he attacked the police, but this was Dragon Country—a forbidden land for mercenaries.

Attacking the police here was a death wish.

They would call in the army, and then he would be labeled a terrorist, a death too good for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng prepared to knock his dummy brother out with a single punch.

But Yue Cailan was faster.

She had been hoping for an opponent for a long time.

Seeing that this big dummy actually wanted to make a move against them, she grew excited.

Yue Cailan holstered her pistol and closed in on Wolf Fang. Not even Lin Feng knew what the Beautiful Police Officer intended to do.

Seeing this, the other police officers whispered among themselves, "How many moves do you think this dummy can withstand from Captain Yue?"

"I bet ten moves!"

"Last time, someone even burlier than this guy only lasted four moves. I bet three."

"I bet five moves. This dummy might be stupid, but haven't you noticed? His stance is as steady as an old dog's. He's clearly trained; he'll definitely be more durable than the last criminal."

However, in the next moment, Yue Cailan's feet were as fast as light and her form as elusive as a shadow as she kicked Wolf Fang right in the crotch.

Crucially, Wolf Fang didn't dodge at all.

A dull "thud" rang out.

Wolf Fang curled up on the ground. "You... oh... you... ah... no martial ethics..."

Hiss!

Everyone present felt a chill in their own crotches and instinctively covered themselves.

Even Lin Feng and Wolf Eye did the same.

Given the severity of Wolf Fang's condition, it seemed... quite possibly... his parts were shattered.

He slowly ceases to be a boy~

He slowly shoulders all the love~

...For some reason, this song automatically played in the minds of all the men watching.

"Martial ethics? Martial arts is all about low blows. You didn't even know how to dodge; you deserve it," Yue Cailan spat dismissively.

"Captain Yue, isn't this a bit much?" a new officer actually said.

Yue Cailan shot a sideways glance at the new recruit. "Are you kidding me? Sympathizing with a criminal? I suppose you want to experience a move like that too?"

The new officer instinctively clutched his private parts.

"No, Captain Yue, you misunderstand. I'm just afraid you'll get scolded by the higher-ups," the new officer said as fast as he could, fearing that in the next second, he would end up like the "sister" on the ground.

The new officer's concern wasn't unfounded. Even when handling cases, they had to consider legality and try to avoid using force whenever possible.

"I'll deal with the higher-ups myself. We can't give important overseas criminals any quarter.

In the future, if you encounter this kind of situation, feel free to act. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility," Yue Cailan said righteously.

Lin Feng had originally wanted to have a chat with such a Beautiful Police Officer, but now... whoever wanted to chat could go right ahead; he didn't want to become a "sister."

He even wished it were other officers arresting him right now.

"..." Nearby, Wolf Fang had completely passed out.

This level of pain was the most intense Wolf Fang had ever experienced. Even in the heat of battle, gunshot wounds felt several times better than this.

"Off... Officer, can I know who reported us?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.

He was afraid the Beautiful Police Officer might suddenly become unhappy.

If not for wanting to know who the mastermind was, he wouldn't have bothered asking.

"Why ask so much? Planning to retaliate? I'm telling you, it was an anonymous report, alright!"

With that, she ordered her subordinates to take the smuggled herbs back to the station.

And so, the farce ended.

Not far away, Ling Xian, who was watching the show, was also amazed.

He had thought Lin Feng would escape thanks to his protagonist's luck, but it turned out Yue Cailan's luck was superior.

In the future, if Lin Feng ever saw Yue Cailan again, he would probably take a three-mile detour.
