Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1425 - 1424
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
On a cargo ship going from Barcelona, Spain to Eastern Europe, Lin Fan and Li Zixia stood at the bow, breathing in the sea breeze and gazing at an Eastern European city emerging on the coast ahead.
The cargo ship was approaching the city’s dock.
When boarding the flight to the United Kingdom, Lin Fan hadn’t anticipated that in coming to find Li Zixia this time, he would accidentally travel through most of Europe.
"Are we there?" Li Zixia asked.
Lin Fan nodded: "Yes, Miss Li, are you sure you want to go with me to the Earth Wolf Gang’s headquarters?"
Li Zixia nodded firmly: "I’m sure!"
Li Zixia had decided not to part with Lin Fan. Wherever Lin Fan went, she would go too. Staying by Lin Fan’s side was safer than anywhere else, and besides, she wanted to witness the downfall of the Earth Wolf Gang firsthand, a sinful existence that had harmed countless girls and was due for destruction.
That night, Lin Fan captured the Earth Wolf Gang’s minor leader Johnson, and under Lin Fan’s interrogation, Johnson revealed the location of the Earth Wolf Gang’s headquarters.
Even though Johnson was a fearless person, it was unfortunate for him to have encountered Lin Fan. Under Lin Fan’s torture, he chose to confess in exchange for a swift death.
In the end, Lin Fan left Johnson and the car at the Barcelona docks and then found a cargo ship heading to Eastern Europe, traveling by water to Eastern Europe.
Since Li Zixia didn’t have a passport at the time, taking a flight was not an option. Moreover, they had to guard against Barcelona police; if they were to enforce control at the airport, they couldn’t escape.
Traveling by water was the best solution. By the time Barcelona reacted, the cargo ship was already out of Spanish waters.
The Earth Wolf Gang transported kidnapped girls from Eastern Europe to Western Europe also by water. The gang had long established a smooth route across Europe.
Although the cargo ship Lin Fan found wasn’t originally stopping at his destination, Lin Fan gave a hefty sum, and the captain gladly decided to make a special trip to the Eastern European country’s dock, even if this meant delaying the journey for half a day.
Money can make the world go round; this principle applies everywhere.
As long as there’s money, you’ll find smooth sailing everywhere.
The cargo ship stopped at the dock.
The captain personally came to see them off.
"Handsome gentleman, beautiful lady, you’ve reached your destination. May I ask when you plan to return? I can come back to pick you up in three days," the captain said warmly.
Lin Fan had given so much, the captain hoped for another trip.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Give me a phone number, and I’ll call you if I need to."
The captain quickly handed Lin Fan a business card.
Lin Fan took the card, casually put it in his pants pocket, and disembarked with Li Zixia.
This Eastern European country wasn’t particularly prosperous. Most of the city’s architecture was quite ancient, yet this turned the country into a tourist destination; tourism was a major pillar of its economy.
Tourists from all over the world came in countless numbers annually.
These tourists became a constant source of wealth for the Earth Wolf Gang. According to Johnson’s confession, the gang specifically trained a group of "frauds," well-picked Eastern European heartthrobs, like Pete, who deceived Lucy and Emily, being one of them.
They chiefly targeted young beautiful tourists, using charm and eloquence to gain the trust of young female tourists, and once the young ladies fell into the trap, they were almost unable to escape.
They would fall into the hands of the Earth Wolf Gang’s members, who guarded them viciously; even with wings, they couldn’t fly away.
Under the gang’s operation, the young girls caught in traps would first be screened and divided into three levels. Those who hadn’t suffered such things were deemed first class and placed on the gang’s mysterious website for wealthy people to bid on. Lucy and Li Zixia belonged to this category.
The second class were no longer those who hadn’t endured such things but looked good, they would be transported to Western Europe for a good price.
The third class were those left after the selection of first and second class; the gang wouldn’t waste them either, they would be kept in Eastern Europe for locals to enjoy, becoming tools for the gang’s profit.
No matter the category, falling into the gang’s hands meant their lives were destroyed, ultimately becoming tools for the underworld to profit from, with most having their lives ended under physical and mental trauma.
Truly, the Earth Wolf Gang’s sinister deeds were unspeakable.
The gang’s business spanned across Europe, with Johnson confessing that they had as many as twenty strongholds in Europe, aside from the Spanish base demolished by Lin Fan, there were nineteen other bases including the one in London.
The gang constructed a network covering all of Europe with these twenty strongholds, enabling them to transport girls to any part of Europe.
As the gang grew and more people disappeared, this criminal syndicate drew attention from countries.
But the Earth Wolf Gang was hard to eliminate.
Once, a gang stronghold was taken down by local police, but dismantling them was only the stronghold; it couldn’t shake the headquarters.
The reason being, the gang had strict requirements for members: once caught by the police, never confess, rather die than confess, leaving police struggling to investigate.
Just like this time, Paul fell into the hands of London police, only to be quickly assassinated by his own, leaving no chance for a confession.
Moreover, even with knowledge of its location, the gang’s headquarters in Eastern Europe was unreachable.
As long as the gang’s headquarters remained, even if one or two strongholds were destroyed, they could soon be rebuilt.
So, regardless of how much police across countries despised the gang, it continued to thrive, becoming increasingly rampant.
Initially, the gang only kidnapped tourists in Eastern Europe. Later, growing bold, they dared to execute kidnappings anywhere in Europe.
Li Zixia ended up in the Earth Wolf Gang’s hands in London this way.
Lin Fan realized he must eliminate the Earth Wolf Gang’s headquarters to solve this problem permanently; as the saying goes, catch the leader first, or endless troubles await.
Since they were here, Lin Fan didn’t mind spending more time to permanently solve this issue.
But according to Johnson’s intel, the gang’s headquarters was not easily conquered. With Lin Fan alone, it wasn’t impossible, just very difficult.
Lin Fan needed to find some local support, which was his first task upon arrival.
On the way here, Lin Fan and Li Zixia had already gained an understanding of the area online and devised a plan to quickly wipe out the Earth Wolf Gang.
Now, Lin Fan and Li Zixia left the docks, arriving at a bustling street full of celebrations and the sound of gongs and drums.
"Seems we’ve come just in time; today’s a major local festival. Let’s join the fun," Lin Fan said, smiling at Li Zixia.
