After Meina left, Lin Fan dozed a little in the room, waking up around 1 AM.

Paris is known as the most romantic city in the world, and the night is the most beautiful moment.

The streets were bustling with people, and the two rows of street lamps along the road lit up like two fiery dragons, turning the entire city into a sleepless metropolis with their dazzling lights.

In a romantic city, naturally, there's no lack of se|xual transactions. Someone once counted that the more romantic the city, the higher the success rate of hookups, because every woman harbors a romantic fantasy in her heart. As long as you're willing to give her romance, she's willing to climb into your bed!

After leaving the hotel, Lin Fan took a taxi to a street full of bars. This place also boasts the most bars in Paris and is the largest market for se|xual transactions.

As soon as Lin Fan got out of the car, he saw rows of sexy European beauties standing in the corners, flaunting themselves flirtatiously. Some customers went up to haggle prices and then took them away.

Just as Lin Fan got out of the car, a few women beckoned to him flirtatiously with their fingers.

Lin Fan didn't pay attention to them and walked to the entrance of a bar called "night-reigns," which translates to "Night Bar" in Chinese!

Back when Lin Fan used to hang around Paris, he was a regular at this bar, often coming here with his comrades to have fun. But ever since the "Suicide Squad" disbanded, Lin Fan hadn't been here for a long time. Rumor had it, a brother of his bought the bar.

After years apart, Lin Fan indeed missed the brothers he once fought and bled with!

Explosive heavy metal music filled the venue, and the dance floor was crowded with people. Young beauties were swaying their hips enthusiastically, and there were a few perverts mixed in, taking the chance to grope the young beauties' behinds.

After walking into the bar, Lin Fan headed straight for the counter. The pretty barmaid greeted him with a polite smile, "Hi! Handsome, what would you like to drink?"

"I want to see your boss!" Lin Fan said with a light smile.

The barmaid was taken aback, not expecting the young handsome guy to ask for the boss. She replied, "Please wait a moment," and turned to enter a room behind the bar.

Soon, a European man came out with the barmaid.

The man had stubbly facial hair, messy hair, and wore extremely ordinary clothing. His face bore no trace of menace, only a weariness with the world, looking as if he had nothing left to live for.

However, the most surprising thing was that as he walked, despite him concealing it well, it was unmistakable that his right leg was limp. Coupled with his haggard face, it was a pitiful sight.

"Boss, this is the handsome guy looking for you," the barmaid introduced.

The man abruptly raised his head, meeting Lin Fan's gaze.

"Bo...Boss..."

He rasped, his eyes instantly turning red, as if all the grievances and longing rushed into his heart at once.

Lin Fan was also touched; who would have thought this man was once so majestic and powerful, and now, after a few years, has fallen into such a state!

"What's your strongest drink?" Lin Fan asked the barmaid.

All Lin Fan wanted now was to drink, to drink the strongest liquor with his brother!

"The strongest drink is Burn Knife, a type of liquor our boss introduced from Huaxia," the barmaid said.

"Okay, give me two bottles," Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the barmaid froze. The alcohol content of Burn Knife had surprised even her when she first saw it. Since its introduction, few dared to drink it, and those who did usually only dared to ask for a glass.

After all, Europeans generally only enjoy red wine, with most having low alcohol tolerance. They're not used to Huaxia's white wine. Once, a man tried to show off by chugging a bottle of Burn Knife and ended up with a brain hemorrhage.

Looking at Lin Fan in astonishment, the barmaid wondered if this guy was drinking or racing with death and confirmed, "Handsome, are you sure you want two bottles?"

"Yes, give me two bottles," Lin Fan said.

The barmaid hesitated, then turned to grab two bottles of Burn Knife and handed them to Lin Fan.

"Find a place to drink?" Lin Fan asked the man in front of him, holding the two bottles.

The man gave a wry smile and pointed to a corner spot, "It's quiet there; let's go over there."

Lin Fan shrugged indifferently, saying nothing. He headed over with the two bottles of Burn Knife, and the man quickly followed. Despite his limp, he moved faster than most people.

This man was known as Mouse in the "Suicide Squad," and his role was equivalent to that of a scout in the army, helping the "Suicide Squad" gather intelligence, scout, and track targets!

And this leg of his was due to accidentally entering a minefield set by the enemy while scouting terrain for Lin Fan on the African battlefield. Even though he reacted quickly, one leg was blown off. When Lin Fan and the others found him, his right leg was already a bloody mess, with shrapnel embedded in the bone.

But with his indomitable spirit, Mouse made a name for himself in the Dark Realm, despite his limp. There was almost no one he wanted to scout that he couldn't find!

Once they sat down facing each other, Lin Fan pulled out a cigar and tossed it to Mouse, lighting one for himself and putting it in his mouth.

"Child Clan's special supply cigar... Boss, you've met them?" Mouse asked, surprised by the emblem on the cigar.

"Yeah! We had a transaction of sorts," Lin Fan explained briefly. Looking at the haggard Mouse, he asked, "How did you end up like this?"

Mouse gave a bitter smile, taking a big swig of the Burn Knife, "I got divorced."

"Divorced? What happened?" Lin Fan asked in surprise. He knew that Mouse was the only one from the "Suicide Squad" who was already married when he joined.

"After 'Suicide Squad' disbanded, I had nothing to do, no income, sitting at home drinking every day. She asked for a divorce. I know I let her down, so I don't hate her. I left with nothing, only keeping enough money to buy this bar and giving her everything else," Mouse replied with a bitter smile.

"What about your daughter?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"She stayed with her. With my abilities, she'd only suffer with me. I provide child support every month so she can raise our daughter," Mouse said.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming sadness, as if he'd been stabbed several times.

Back in the day, when he and his brothers were creating history during World War III, they were so majestic and powerful, striking fear into others!

Yet, time is merciless, shattering those once exuberant spirits. Reality is even harsher, like a knife leaving merciless scars upon them!

"Brother, you've suffered!"

Lin Fan lifted his Burn Knife, clinking it with Mouse's, and downed half the bottle in one go!
