Mu Lin slowly noticed six dark spots approaching his lifeboat from the ship’s scanning radar, gradually encircling him. “Finally, they’re here!” Mu Lin thought to himself. The fear of unknown dangers surpasses the fear of known dangers.
Now that the enemy had indeed acted exactly as he had anticipated, Mu Lin instead felt a sense of relief. He knew that his lifeboat had surely already appeared on their radar. Extending his spiritual awareness to the lifeboat, he shut off its engine, bringing it to a halt. The submarine also gradually submerged to a depth approximately 100 meters below the lifeboat.
Quickly, the enemy vessels entered the surveillance net Mu Lin had created with his mind sense. “Wow, it seems the enemy really does respect me!” Mu Lin sighed inwardly. Four Type 22 frigates and two “Swift”-class nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN) were all elite vessels currently in service with the Y country navy. To deploy such forces against a small fry like himself was indeed a sign of great respect.
In fact, what Mu Lin did not know was that the Y country government had already listed him as an extremely dangerous individual. As a long-established empire, Y country harbored within its borders a number of extraordinary individuals. Although they had not directly confronted Mu Lin, after viewing the video footage of the scene of his disappearance, these individuals warned their government that Mu Lin was also an extraordinary person with unique abilities, ones that surpassed their own. Through analysis of the scene, they concluded that Mu Lin’s abilities were beyond their control.
Moreover, after two months of deep investigation in London, the government had not found any gang capable of matching their Green Beret forces. Therefore, they believed that Mu Lin was indeed responsible for their losses, but they harbored deep fears regarding his terrifying destructive power. Thus, after Mu Lin remained hidden for two months before beginning his retaliation, they did not deploy large-scale police forces or special individuals to search for him. They simply hoped that if they didn’t provoke Mu Lin, he wouldn’t unleash a massacre in London.
Just when they were ready to swallow this bitter pill, unexpectedly, Claire and Cross arrived in London, giving them a chance to discover Mu Lin’s hiding place. However, unaware of the two’s intentions and fearing Mu Lin’s fierce retaliation, they did not act against Claire and Cross, allowing the two to return safely to country U with little Lapei.
However, when Cross began targeting the British pound, the Y country government finally understood the purpose of Cross’s visit to London. They realized this was another act of revenge orchestrated by Mu Lin. With numerous international investors following suit and Mu Lin’s influence over Germany, even after deploying 5 billion pounds from the Bank of England’s reserve funds, they were unable to save the pound, suffering heavy losses and ultimately being forced to withdraw from the European Monetary System in disgrace.
Although they now knew this was another revenge attack from Mu Lin, they dared not act rashly. London was an international metropolis, and their previous actions had already caused a mass exodus of wealthy residents and capital flight. If they failed to capture Mu Lin in one decisive strike and he escaped into the crowds, they would face his retaliation. If the media got hold of this information, the consequences would be even more catastrophic.
They had never imagined that Mu Lin would purchase a luxury yacht here, planning to leave by sea. This news brought great joy to the senior levels of the Y country government. On Mu Lin’s purchased yacht, they dared not plant any sabotage devices for fear of alerting him, only installing two miniature satellite signal transmitters.
They urgently deployed several elite vessels currently in service, which kept watch day and night at both ends of the English Channel. As soon as Mu Lin appeared, they were ready to capture or eliminate him, even if it meant sacrificing the personnel on the yacht.
When they learned that Mu Lin wanted to sail the yacht alone, this made them nearly ecstatic, each one exclaiming, “He brought it upon himself; he cannot escape the consequences.” However, knowing that Mu Lin was an individual with special abilities, they had never dared to approach him closely for surveillance, relying instead on remote detection equipment. This allowed Mu Lin to purchase two small submarines in the black market of Portsmouth without being detected.
As soon as Mu Lin’s yacht left Plymouth harbor, the fleet waiting in the English Channel received the news and immediately began to seal off the area under the pretense of holding an emergency military exercise, setting up an inescapable net. Moreover, to ensure the success of this operation, the extraordinary individuals from within the country were urgently transported by plane to these warships. The Y country government had made all necessary preparations, waiting for the big fish, Mu Lin, to take the bait.
Mu Lin noticed that all these warships stopped about three nautical miles away from his lifeboat, forming a tight, three-dimensional encirclement around him.
In such circumstances, hiding inside the submarine was no longer of much significance, because once the enemy approached the lifeboat, all secrets would be revealed. Thinking of this, Mu Lin urgently ascended in the submarine, quickly approaching the lifeboat. After climbing aboard, he casually retracted the submarine into his ring. Now, any small oversight could lead to relentless attacks from the enemy.
Mu Lin took out a fire-control radar from his ring and quickly turned on the radar switch. The radar soon locked onto a frigate. This immediately triggered the alarm system on the enemy frigate. Since the enemy had not anticipated that Mu Lin’s yacht would be equipped with a fire-control radar, and their radar had already locked onto them, the next step would likely be an attack from Mu Lin, which caught the frigate completely off guard, causing chaos and panic on board.
However, the enemy was indeed composed of active warships and quickly regained order, though their defenses became even tighter. All the ships were now more than five nautical miles away from Mu Lin’s lifeboat. Soon, Mu Lin heard a voice coming through the loudspeaker from the enemy ships: “Attention, yacht ahead! We are the Royal Navy of Y country. This area is currently our exercise zone. We suspect you have illegally entered our exercise area to steal military secrets of the Royal Navy of Y country! We suspect that there are records of this exercise on your yacht. Now, please shut down your engine and cease all hostile actions. You have ten minutes to lay down your weapons and allow us to inspect your vessel; otherwise, we will commence an attack!”
