"Kid, don't tell me you think a simple phone call is enough to scare me?"

Meng Feis didn't command the hundred or so men armed with machetes to charge forward and chop Xu Fan into mincemeat.

Rather than indulging in such a dull game, he wanted to see how long this young Huaxia man could hold his ground in front of nearly a hundred machetes.

"I didn't mean to scare you."

Xu Fan responded calmly, eliciting a hearty laugh from Meng Feis.

"I must say, your act is quite convincing."

"Fine! I'll humor you today! Twenty minutes from now, I want you to surprise me!"

Xu Fan's composure irked Meng Feis, reigniting a competitive spirit that hadn't flared up in quite some time.

He decided to grant Xu Fan twenty minutes, after which he would trample the fellow into dust!

Upon receiving Meng Feis's directive, the muscle at the Black Clinic instinctively glanced at the wall clock.

It was now nine forty, twenty minutes later would be ten o'clock, and then they could make their move.

Their bloodthirsty gazes quickly shifted from Xu Fan to Mu Qingyan.

A pair of eyes filled with desire made Mu Qingyan feel as if she were facing a pack of beasts ready to rip her apart!

The heavy breathing and faint snickering made her feel like her heart was being clutched tightly, leaving her struggling for breath.

Twenty minutes later, if Xu Fan couldn't turn the situation around, what awaited her would likely be a point of no return.

Tick-tock...

Tick-tock...

The wall clock's hands moved ever closer to ten o'clock, making Mu Qingyan feel as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat!

After she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a trembling hand, she subconsciously looked over at Xu Fan.

"He..."

She was astonished by Xu Fan's reaction; he had already closed his eyes as if he was taking a nap.

The calm smile on his face made him seem exceptionally serene, as though everything that was about to happen was within his control.

Influenced by Xu Fan's calmness, Mu Qingyan's own anxious heart began to relax gradually.

"Alright."

But all of a sudden, Meng Feis spoke up before her.

"Time's almost up, it's time to take action."

At his command, the dense crowd of thugs around them began to stir.

Mu Qingyan saw this and her face instantly turned pale with fright!

"This isn't fair! It's not ten o'clock yet! There are still five minutes!"

Mu Qingyan chastised, looking at the wall clock beside her, clearly pointing out that five minutes remained.

"Heh, Miss Mu, you really are amusing."

Meng Feis had no intention of explaining the five-minute discrepancy.

He sneered at Mu Qingyan and hummed, "Fair? Such a laughable concept. I want to play you to death right now, and all you can do is be played by me, understand?"

"You!!!"

Seeing Mu Qingyan's frantic state, Meng Feis felt a twisted sense of pleasure surge within him. He licked his dry lips and waved his hand, giving a command.

"You, start by crippling this man for me!"

In an instant, one thug after another drew their machetes, the cold gleam of the blades momentarily suffocating Mu Qingyan.

She was beginning to regret her decision; if she had known it would end like this, she wouldn't have called Xu Fan here.

Buzz! Buzz!

Buzz! Buzz!

As despair washed over her, suddenly, a series of engine roars came from outside.

"What's going on?"

The rumbling grew closer, as if a stream of vehicles was heading their way.

The huge commotion instantly drew the attention of all the hitmen.

They temporarily put down their knives, and a few by the window drew the curtains and looked outside.

"What the—!"

The outside that should have been pitch-dark was now lit up with countless car lights, like stars, rushing toward the clinic's main entrance!

The lights converged into a mass, brightly illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight!

"What's, what's going on..."

Such a spectacular scene was almost unprecedented for those present; watching car after car arrive at the hospital's entrance, the crowd was suddenly at a loss.

"So many people!"

Following that, from inside the cars, one after another, burly men with knives jumped out and, forming a line, stormed into the hospital's entrance wielding their blades.

"You, you guys, quick, look! We're, we're surrounded!"

Just at the hospital's entrance, there must have been about five hundred people; everyone was immediately panic-stricken, and upon being reminded by others, they looked to the side and were scared pale!

The entire clinic building was now surrounded by countless streams of cars!

The headlights shone on the building, lighting up the dark clinic as if it were daylight! Countless people jumped out of the cars, and in the blink of an eye, the clinic was completely besieged!

"What, what on earth is going on!"

Facing what must have been thousands of people, they felt that just one spit from each could drown them; in the operating room, the nearly hundred hitmen suddenly lost their composure.

They looked at each other, truly at a loss to understand why these thousands of people had come.

"Uh..."

Soon, their gazes turned toward Xu Fan.

If they weren't mistaken, just fifteen minutes ago, he had made a call, seemingly to summon people...

But this?

They looked down at the thousands of people below, inhaling a chill breath; one phone call had brought thousands, and even now, more were continuously arriving; this was...

...almost too terrifying to comprehend!

Under the rumble of engines outside the building, Xu Fan finally opened his eyes.

He looked calmly at Meng Feis and his assistant.

Both were in a panic, clearly, the situation had not gone as they had anticipated.

"What's wrong? You don't like my surprise?"

"You... you..."

Meng Feis stuttered, no longer composed. The advantage of having about a hundred people turned into a complete joke in front of the thousands that had suddenly appeared.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to compare numbers? Hm?"

"You..."

Meng Feis looked at the glaring lights outside the window, feeling increasingly unsteady on his feet.

Today, let alone completing the mission and taking the matching kidney back to Huaxia, it had become difficult even to leave this place...

Wiping the cold sweat in his palm, he tried to compose himself and ordered, "What are you all waiting for? Seize him now!"

"Whoever subdues him, I'll give them a million! No! Three million!"

With the help of the assistant's translation, the nearly a hundred men quickly understood Meng Feis's intention.

If they caught Xu Fan, even with thousands outside, they would not dare act recklessly.

Moreover, an offer of a whopping three million was enough to risk their lives.

Pair after pair of greedy eyes turned to Xu Fan.

To surrender or to seek fortune amidst danger, they were caught in a conflicted dilemma.

Xu Fan watched this unfold before his eyes, humming a soft chuckle.

He drew Mu Qingyan into his arms, and his calm gaze swept over everyone.

"I said earlier that with a lady present, I didn't want to see blood, lest anyone gets frightened."

"And you still dare hold knives?"
