Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1455 - 1454

When Lin Fan left the Queen’s villa, the sky was already bright.
The Queen had Catherine see Lin Fan out, and by this time, Catherine had already exchanged contact information with Lin Fan.
"Mr. Lin, I’ll have someone drive you back. If you need anything, just call me directly and keep in touch," Catherine said.
Lin Fan then got into the car, returning to Master Ye’s herbal shop.
Since returning to London from an Eastern European Country, he hadn’t slept for a day and a night. Even an iron man would get tired, so he took the opportunity to sleep in the car.
When he got back to the herbal shop, he finally felt recharged.
As soon as Lin Fan entered the herbal shop, he saw Liu Yuying pacing inside, looking very anxious, which was evidently not a good sign.
Upon seeing Lin Fan return, Liu Yuying hurried over and said, "Mr. Lin, Zixia has been taken away!"
Lin Fan frowned, "By whom?"
Liu Yuying said, "My son said the leader had been here before, asking for your whereabouts."
Master Xiao Ye, who was beside her, said, "The night Mr. Lin went to meet Miss Li, that person came by."
Lin Fan asked, "Was there a woman with him at the time?"
Master Xiao Ye replied, "Yes, Mr. Lin, do you know who they are?"
Lin Fan nodded; he had already guessed who it was. It was the Smith Clan.
On the night Lin Fan went to find Li Zixia, he was tracked by the conductor, but he managed to shake her off.
The conductor later found Master Xiao Ye, inquiring about Lin Fan’s whereabouts, discovering that Lin Fan came to London for rescuing Li Zixia.
During this time, the conductor had been plotting against Li Zixia, trying to use her to make Lin Fan speak.
Liu Yuying said, "This morning, these people came and said they wanted Mr. Lin to discuss something. When they found you weren’t here, they took Zixia away. They had guns, and I was powerless. By the way, they left this address and number for you."
Liu Yuying handed over a slip of paper.
Lin Fan took the paper and glanced at it, saying, "I’ll go deal with them now."
Liu Yuying asked, "Mr. Lin, do you need me to go with you?"
Lin Fan replied, "No need. If anyone else comes looking for me, no matter who it is, just give them this address and tell them to find me directly."
Liu Yuying nodded and said, "Although I don’t know what it’s about, Mr. Lin, please be careful."
Lin Fan nodded and went out the door, driving away.
London, a church.
Lin Fan parked the car at the church entrance.
He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, I’m Lin Fan. I’ve arrived at the address you provided," Lin Fan said.
A male voice on the other end said, "Good, Mr. Lin, please come directly into the church."
With that, the call was hung up.
Lin Fan got out of the car and went to the church entrance. The church door was closed; Lin Fan reached out and pushed it open, walking inside.
The church was very quiet. At a glance, among the dozens of seats, there was only one person sitting in the front row under the cross, bowing reverently in worship.
Lin Fan walked over.
Hearing Lin Fan’s footsteps, that person didn’t turn around but said, "Mr. Lin, you’ve come. Please sit wherever you like."
Lin Fan said, "If I’m not mistaken, you are the third son of the Smith Clan, Tony Smith?"
The person in front finally turned his head to look at Lin Fan.
A middle-aged face, the aura unmistakably that of someone who leads a pampered life, either rich or noble.
"I am," the person said.
Lin Fan asked, "Where is Li Zixia?"
Tony Smith replied, "Mr. Lin, don’t worry, Miss Li is very safe. I will return her to you. Actually, I invited you here today with no ill intent, just to have a chat with Mr. Lin."
Lin Fan walked to the front row and sat down.
"You’ve expended all this effort just to find out who the target is," Lin Fan said.
Tony Smith didn’t answer Lin Fan but asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have faith?"
Lin Fan said, "You’re referring to faith in the one before us?"
Tony Smith said, "From the way you speak, you seem to be someone without faith. I’ve heard that Asians have no faith. I’m different from you; I have faith in God. I know that God guides me in all things, and God will tell me to do the right thing."
Lin Fan responded, "I don’t really understand. I don’t need anyone’s guidance to do things. I always make decisions myself."
Tony Smith said, "That’s because you’re still young. Everyone needs help and guidance, because you’ll have a day when you’re lost. On that day, you’ll pray for God’s mercy and guidance."
Lin Fan asked, "So, what has God guided you to do?"
Tony Smith said, "The Lord said I should personally come to talk to Mr. Lin — it’s time."
Lin Fan said, "You instigate people to create a plane accident, aiming to kill 200 innocent people. Is that also under the Lord’s guidance?"
Tony Smith did not respond to this question, saying, "Mr. Lin, I hope you understand, I am very sincere. Mr. Lin should already know everything about me, and I should about Mr. Lin as well, so let’s speak frankly."
Lin Fan said, "Go ahead then."
Tony Smith said, "I’m already aware of Morgan’s ordeal last night. From him, you tricked and blackmailed him for 5.5 billion Euros. Mr. Lin, your appetite is really big!"
Lin Fan asked, "Are you trying to get the money back for him?"
Tony Smith replied, "No, I won’t help him, nor will the Smith family help him. He tried to kidnap Miss Li, causing her to go missing, and made Mr. Lin come all the way from Huaxia to rescue her. Do you think I would help him?"
Everything has cause and effect.
If it wasn’t for Morgan Smith kidnapping Li Zixia, leading to her disappearance, Lin Fan wouldn’t have come to London or boarded that flight.
Without Lin Fan’s intervention, Tony Smith’s plans would have smoothly succeeded, taking out the target on the plane.
There would be no need for him to come and meet Lin Fan today.
Tony Smith hated Morgan Smith enough to want to kill him.
"In summary, Morgan offended Miss Li, and he will suffer the consequences. The Smith family won’t intervene in his matters, and I doubt he dares to cause Mr. Lin trouble again." Tony Smith said.
Lin Fan kept silent; he knew Tony Smith hadn’t finished speaking.
Sure enough, Tony Smith continued, "Not only will I not ask Mr. Lin to return Morgan’s money, but I’ll also give Mr. Lin another billion Euros!"
His underlying intention was clear; he could have used Morgan Smith’s situation as a pretext to deal with Lin Fan, but he didn’t. Not only did he not, but he also offered Lin Fan an additional billion Euros — a gesture of utmost sincerity.
Releasing this sincerity was not unconditional, of course.
"I use this money to buy a name from Mr. Lin," Tony Smith said, raising his head and fixating on Lin Fan.
Adding on Morgan Smith’s money, that’s 6.5 billion Euros for purchasing a name. Even a fool would know how worthwhile it is.
Lin Fan, however, showed little interest, saying, "What about Li Zixia? You should hand her over first."
