Chapter 2121: Don’t Give Him a Chance
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing someone suddenly speak, Lin Yi tensed up, turning his head to see a foreign man in jeans and a black jacket standing at the church’s pulpit.
Lin Yi put down what he was holding, his expression remaining completely calm, without a hint of surprise.
This was well within his expectations. This man was undoubtedly from the Freemasons.
As for his skill level, it should be about the same as Walker’s, since anyone of a lower rank wouldn’t have been qualified to handle this mission.
“This is the last headquarters, and you’ve only now caught up to me. That’s a bit disappointing,” Lin Yi remarked.
Gill’s expression remained unmoved. “What you’ve done is beyond my expectations, and for that, I do admire you. But that doesn’t change the outcome. You will die here in this church today,” Gill said coldly.
“I can also guess that you may have tried to contact the embassy before acting, hoping to secure your safety. But let me tell you, that path is already closed. Don’t hold on to any false hope.”
Lin Yi smiled, the moonlight filtering through the window, casting shadows on his face.
“It’s better to stay humble, or you’ll pay the price. The strength of the Freemasons won’t give you an edge here. If I dared to come, it’s because I don’t consider you a threat.”
Crack, crack, crack…
Gill shook his head and rolled his shoulders, loosening up his joints.
“Then let me test the skill level of a Central Guard Brigade leader today.”
As he finished speaking, Gill launched his attack, charging toward Lin Yi.
When he was about three meters away, Gill leaped into the air, sending a flying kick straight at Lin Yi’s face.
This move had been anticipated by Lin Yi, who had already taken a defensive stance.
Bang!
Lin Yi crossed his arms, taking Gill’s kick head-on, but only staggered back a single step before regaining his balance.
That single exchange allowed Lin Yi to gauge Gill’s strength.
Without a doubt, Gill had reached B-class, but compared to Walker, he was a bit lacking.
Gill had likely only recently reached B-class, which eased Lin Yi’s concerns significantly.
After deflecting Gill’s initial attack, Lin Yi retaliated.
He lunged forward, and within moments, the two had exchanged more than a dozen blows.
Neither was able to gain the upper hand; they fought evenly.
But inwardly, Gill was in turmoil.
He knew the situation in the Central Guard Brigade well.
All four leaders of the combat units were C-class. Given that he was B-class, defeating Lin Yi should have been effortless. There was no way it should have been this difficult.
Whoosh!
In a moment of distraction, Lin Yi spun around and kicked Gill squarely in the chest.
Caught off guard, Gill stumbled backward several steps.
But before he could recover, Lin Yi pressed his advantage, giving him no time to catch his breath.
That brief lapse in focus put Gill at a disadvantage.
Now, under Lin Yi’s relentless assault, Gill was forced to go all out.
In this moment, there was no trick to speak of, and he was completely relying on instinct to defend himself.
Gill gritted his teeth, feeling as though each of Lin Yi’s punches was like a sledgehammer hitting his body.
Only now did he realize that Lin Yi’s strength was far beyond his expectations. This was completely different from any opponent he’d faced before.
“Damn it!”
Gill cursed under his breath, clenching his teeth and summoning all his strength, throwing a punch to meet Lin Yi’s fist head-on.
He knew that if he didn’t counter soon, he’d be worn down and defeated by Lin Yi’s relentless attacks.
“Not bad, but you’re still a bit weaker than the last guy,” Lin Yi said with a cold sneer.
“That means you won’t be walking out of here today.”
Gill’s face changed. “What do you mean?”
“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Lin Yi said calmly.
“The intruder who stormed the Central Guard Brigade a few days ago? I killed him. And since you’re not even as good as he was, don’t expect to leave this building alive. Fitting, though—sending you off in a church.”
With that, Lin Yi launched another offensive.
“How could you possibly defeat Walker?!”
Gill knew well that Walker’s strength was above his own. If Walker couldn’t defeat this man, there was no way he could either!
Lin Yi’s arms, after undergoing enhancement, had not only returned to normal but also held immense latent power.
According to final assessments, his strength had increased by about 29%. While it hadn’t reached the full 30%, it was still a significant boost.
Handling someone like Gill, who had only recently stepped into B-class, wasn’t too taxing for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi’s next wave of attacks was even fiercer than before.
It left Gill struggling to defend.
After several dozen more exchanges, Gill began to show signs of fatigue. His movements became slower and less precise.
This realization filled Gill with dread, causing his anxiety to spike.
Only now did Gill truly believe that Walker might have been defeated by Lin Yi. The Freemasons had gotten it all wrong.
Walker wasn’t bested by some powerful foe or taken down in a hail of bullets—he was killed by this man.
That thought sent a shudder through Gill’s body, creating an opening that Lin Yi quickly exploited, overwhelming him.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick to Gill’s chest.
Caught off guard, Gill was sent flying, crashing into a row of chairs that shattered beneath him, leaving him in a pitiful state.
Not wasting a moment, Lin Yi charged at Gill with lightning speed, driving his knee into Gill’s chest.
With one hand, he covered Gill’s mouth, while the other reached behind his back. Then, in a swift motion, he chopped off Gill’s right middle finger!
The excruciating pain sent Gill into a fit of silent screams, but due to Lin Yi’s control, no sound escaped.
However, instead of showing pain, Gill’s face reflected pure terror, as if he had witnessed something horrifying.
Because on his right middle finger, there had been a ring—one containing a small bomb. It was designed to be activated in the event of capture, allowing him to die quickly and avoid torture.
But now, with his finger gone, he no longer had that option. His fate was clear.
Lin Yi didn’t bother speaking further. With a sharp blow to Gill’s neck, he knocked him unconscious.
Without wasting any more time, Lin Yi prepared to burn the building and leave with Gill.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But just then, two shadows passed by the window, followed by a sultry, teasing voice.
“Congratulations, Team Leader Lin, on another success. How about celebrating at a hotel?”
