Joseph Wayne's evil deeds are brought to an end as Lucy, empowered by Lin Fan, exacts her revenge and shoots him. She finds release in her tears after the confrontation. Lin Fan then arranges for Lucy to stay with Mr. Allen while he departs for Barcelona, intending to rescue Li from the Earth Wolf Gang. Mr. Allen also provides Lin Fan with information suspecting Morgan Smith, before Lin Fan sets off on his new mission.

Barcelona, this is a large city located in Spain. Lin Fan’s only impression of Barcelona is Barça. It’s said that many football fans dream of watching a high-quality match of world-class standard in person in Barcelona.

Although Lin Fan isn’t really a football fan, he is now the owner of Yun City Football Club. He plans for his club’s players to go to Barcelona for an exchange. Yun City Team and Barça are both club teams, perhaps they’ll face off eventually.

There is an international football competition called the FIFA Club World Cup, where the best club teams from all continents compete to determine the champion, which means becoming the world’s number one club.

Previously, a Huaxia club team faced off against Barça and ended in defeat.

Speaking of the FIFA Club World Cup, Barça has won the championship three times, rightfully earning its place as a world-class club team. Meanwhile, Huaxia club teams only qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in 2013, with zero championships earned.

If Yun City Team wants to secure a FIFA Club World Cup ticket, they must first win the AFC Champions League, which is the Asian club tournament, and this is Lin Fan’s goal after the Huaxia Super League.

Lin Fan still has the chance to visit Barcelona again in the future, but this time, his visit isn’t for football.

It’s to rescue Li Zixia.

At Joseph Wayne’s house, Lin Fan hacked into the Earth Wolf Gang’s mysterious website and indeed found information about Li Zixia being auctioned. Three days ago, Li Zixia was purchased by a Spanish billionaire, so three days ago she was to be sent onto a cargo ship and shipped to Barcelona.

According to the timeline, Li Zixia might have already suffered the same fate as Lucy and been resold by the Earth Wolf Gang. However, the current clue Lin Fan has points to this billionaire residing in Barcelona, so he decides to locate this billionaire first.

On the way, Lin Fan learned through the internet about this billionaire. His name is Antonio Cortes, a local real estate tycoon with a fortune of 1 billion Euros.

At nine in the evening, the nightlife begins.

Lin Fan exited Barcelona Airport and took out his phone to make a call.

He called Antonio’s company.

There is a difference in working hours between Spaniards and Huaxia people. Typically, Huaxia companies generally work from nine in the morning to six in the evening, meaning six o’clock is usually quitting time, overtime aside. Spaniards typically work from ten in the morning to eight in the evening, meaning eight o’clock is generally quitting time for Spanish companies, and Spaniards are also keen on working overtime.

So at this moment, it’s not surprising that Antonio is still at work.

On the way here, Lin Fan hacked into Antonio’s company’s internal website and easily obtained Antonio’s schedule. The itinerary showed Antonio had a meeting at eight in the evening.

This means Antonio scheduled a meeting during quitting time. Truly a wicked capitalist, having meetings after work.

According to the schedule, this meeting is Antonio’s final work arrangement for today. Where he goes after the meeting is unknown.

"Hello, this is Cortes Company. How may I assist you?" said a female voice on the phone.

The other person spoke Spanish, but this didn’t faze Lin Fan.

On the plane, Lin Fan chatted with a Spanish passenger and, through his top-notch language talent, mastered Spanish.

So Lin Fan replied in Spanish, "Hello, I am Picasso. Is Mr. Cortes at the company?"

The person curiously asked, "He is, Mr. Cortes is in a meeting. May I ask what you need from Mr. Cortes, sir?"

Before the other person finished speaking, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

On the other end, a pretty Spanish girl frowned, a truly strange call.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended, and the company staff gradually exited, preparing to leave work. The last to come out of the meeting room was a bald middle-aged man, pot-bellied but looking very amicable.

"Miss Catherine, please come over here," the bald middle-aged man said to the receptionist.

The Spanish girl quickly got up and walked over, "Mr. Cortes, do you have any orders?"

This bald middle-aged man is the company’s Big Boss, Antonio Cortes.

"Is my schedule for tomorrow ready?" Antonio asked.

This Spanish girl is his secretary.

The secretary replied, "It’s ready, Mr. Cortes. You need to meet a client at ten tomorrow."

Antonio asked, "Which client is it?"

The secretary replied, "It’s Mr. Luis Pizarro."

Antonio said, "Please tell Mr. Pizarro that our meeting tomorrow is postponed to the afternoon."

The secretary asked, "What’s the reason, Mr. Cortes?"

Antonio answered, "Just tell Mr. Pizarro I’m not feeling well."

The secretary said, "Okay, Mr. Cortes. By the way, Mr. Cortes, there was a strange call earlier asking if you were at the company."

Antonio responded with an ’oh’, his expression a bit unnatural, "Who was it?"

The secretary answered, "The caller claimed to be Picasso, speaking very fluent Spanish, presumably a local. However, I hadn’t yet asked what they needed before the call was abruptly hung up."

Antonio thought for a moment but couldn’t recall who this "Picasso" might be. He didn’t care, saying, "Ignore it. Pack up and prepare to finish for the day, Miss Catherine."

Ten minutes later.

Antonio left his company and went downstairs, where a luxurious car was already waiting for him.

Antonio then got into the car, which drove away from the company.

At this moment, a taxi emerged from a nearby street, tailing Antonio’s luxury car.

The passenger seat of the taxi was occupied by Lin Fan.

Upon arriving at Antonio’s company downstairs, he recognized the luxury car. According to the data he acquired, this car belonged to Antonio, with a driver inside, evidently waiting for Antonio to get in.

Lin Fan knew Antonio was still in the company. He originally planned to storm into the company and seize Antonio directly, but Lin Fan abandoned this idea. He didn’t want to cause too much commotion or create unnecessary complications.

So he waited, waited for an opportune moment to act.

Antonio was very likely going home next. When he does, it will be Lin Fan’s time to move.

Likewise, Lin Fan already knows Antonio’s villa address. Antonio only has one villa in Barcelona, where his entire family lives. Lin Fan is ready to expose his wicked side in front of his family.

These influential billionaires, acting prestigious daily, who would think they’re a bunch of dirty beasts in private? Once exposed, who knows what kind of shock it will cause?

Lin Fan, after all, holds the evidence. Whether to expose it will depend on his mood.

Suddenly, Lin Fan frowned upon noticing Antonio wasn’t heading home as the luxury car ahead veered onto another road. Where could Antonio be going so late?
