Boom...

Suddenly, a forceful knee strike. Yue Ke was sent flying on the spot, crashing hard against a concrete pillar in the parking lot. The violent impact made Yue Ke spit out a mouthful of blood. After falling to the ground, Yue Ke lay there motionless.

Lin Chuan slowly walked over.

"Sorry about this, Yue Ke," Lin Chuan said, stepping on his chest.

"Oh, no, please don't kill me," Yue Ke pleaded in a low voice.

Every creature has a strong will to live when facing death. No one wishes to die. Holding a slender dagger, Lin Chuan said, "If anyone's to blame, it's you. You've done too many evil deeds, killed too many innocent people."

Pff...

Having said that, Lin Chuan immediately slit Yue Ke's throat with the slender dagger in his hand, tearing apart his windpipe.

Gurgling...

Blood gushed out instantly, a great amount of it flooding into Yue Ke's windpipe. Shortly after, the person known as No. 5 from the base quickly suffocated to death from his own blood. Lin Chuan wiped the blood off his body, sheathed the dagger, and turned to walk out of the parking lot.

Half an hour later, the London Police Department received the report.

The police were dispatched, immediately sealing off the crime scene and retrieving the surveillance footage of the scuffle from the parking lot.

The senior inspector at the London Police Department, after learning of the incident, personally reviewed the footage of the fight.

"Is it him?" the inspector asked in surprise.

"Inspector, do you know him?" a subordinate asked.

"Yes, I've seen him at Buckingham Palace before," the inspector said awkwardly. "He's a distinguished guest of Her Majesty, the Queen."

"What?" the subordinate exclaimed in shock. "Then... then what should we do?"

"Report this immediately and see what Her Majesty's stance is," the inspector quickly ordered. "Forget it, I'll personally inform Her Majesty about the matter and see how she wants to handle this."

"Yes!" the subordinate immediately nodded.

At Buckingham Palace, the butler received the message from the inspector and, after personally listening to the report, also watched the video himself. After thoroughly confirming that the man was indeed Lin Chuan, he hurriedly led the inspector to meet the Queen.

At three in the afternoon, the Queen woke up from her nap, had some afternoon tea, and was getting ready to take a stroll in the garden.

"Your Majesty," the butler said in haste. "A murder occurred yesterday in the underground parking lot of the London Building."

"Do such matters need to be reported to me?" the Queen asked, puzzled.

"Well..." the butler said awkwardly, "But the killer was Baron Lin Chuan. So... I thought it necessary to report to you. What do you think?"

"Lin Chuan is in London?" the Queen looked at the butler in surprise. "Why did he kill this person? Anyone Lin Chuan sets his sight on must be thoroughly investigated. Besides, contact Lin Chuan and invite him to Buckingham Palace as a guest."

"Yes!" the butler nodded hastily.

After a day of urgent thorough investigation, Yue Ke's residence and mailbox were all examined. To everyone's astonishment, this seemingly ordinary man was indeed the deeply hidden No. 5 figure from the base. It was truly an astonishing discovery.

"My God, I can't believe... he was actually No. 5 from the base," the investigating police officers were dumbfounded.

"He's the perpetrator behind the London Underground incident," the inspector said through gritted teeth. "This devil has finally received the punishment he deserved."

The news reached Buckingham Palace.

The Queen was silent for a long time and then said, "I knew Lin Chuan wouldn't kill the innocent willy-nilly. This bastard really was a villain."

"Yes, indeed," the butler bowed and said. "Your Majesty, Lin Chuan has rendered a service."

"Where is he?" the Queen asked urgently.

At that moment, Lin Chuan was about to leave from London Airport. However, just as he showed his passport, he was detained by the police on site.

"Sir, you cannot leave right now," a police officer said helplessly.

"Why not?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled.

"This..." the police officer said with a wry smile: "It seems there is some problem with your passport."

"It looks like what was bound to come has finally arrived," Lin Chuan sighed, not needing to say it out loud to know that it must be Her Majesty the Queen wanting to see him. In the UK, the easiest way is to tamper with one's passport. As long as one wants to leave the country, they will immediately be detained by the other party.

After a brief stay at the airport customs department, Engles came with people from Buckingham Palace.

In the small conference room, Engles said with utmost respect, "Baron Lin Chuan, we meet again."

"Engles, is it Her Majesty the Queen who wishes to see me?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Engles immediately nodded and said, "Indeed, it is Her Majesty the Queen who wants to see you. Lin Chuan, regardless, Her Majesty has always been gracious to you. Since you are in the United Kingdom, why not visit her? If you leave just like this, she will surely be heartbroken."

Lin Chuan lowered his head, his heart indeed conflicted. It was precisely because of Her Majesty's graciousness toward him that he would do such a thing. He did not want to let Her Majesty down, nor did he want to see that almost pleading look in her eyes. The Queen, in his mind, was someone exalted, should be held in high esteem by others. But, it seemed, Her Majesty always treated him as her closest kin.

"But I'm afraid she will be disappointed if I go!" Lin Chuan spoke out.

"Baron Lin Chuan, go see her," Engles sighed, "She is not just our Great Britain's Queen, but also an elderly person."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."

With a resolved mind and mustered courage, Lin Chuan dusted himself off and said, "Then let's go."

Lin Chuan followed Engles to a Jaguar parked outside. The car slowly headed straight for Buckingham Palace. The speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the entrance of Buckingham Palace and stopped at a distance from the gate. From here on, vehicles were forbidden entry, even the British Prime Minister Blair had to walk in. Only the Queen's esteemed carriage was privileged to enter Buckingham Palace.

Lin Chuan got out of the car, as the royal Guards stood erect on either side of the entrance.

Engles led Lin Chuan with a leisurely pace into Buckingham Palace.

"Look, there's a Chinese person entering Buckingham Palace."

"Wow, he's even being led by the steward of Buckingham Palace. Who do you think that person is?"

A few Asian-looking girls not far away were excitedly discussing in Chinese. Their faces curious, they captured the scene with their cameras. They seemed particularly interested in Lin Chuan's identity.

After Lin Chuan entered Buckingham Palace, he was attracted by the surrounding greenery. The beauty of Buckingham Palace is beyond what ordinary people can imagine; every flower and every blade of grass, every hill and every pond has been meticulously crafted by artistic artisans. He walked at a leisurely pace along the smooth stone path toward Buckingham Palace.

In fact, Buckingham Palace was visible from afar, like a white pearl under the sunlight.

Following the path, he finally reached the main entrance of Buckingham Palace, and slowly walked up the steps.

The steps and railings of Buckingham Palace were all made of white marble. And in the garden of Buckingham Palace, there were white marble ornaments that had once been looted from Yuanming Garden. These include the painful Twelve Zodiac animal heads, six of which were in the garden of Buckingham Palace.

Every time he saw these six ornaments, Lin Chuan's heart almost felt a stabbing pain. It's a feeling shared by every Chinese man. Standing on the steps, he could see from afar the six white marble ornaments as if they were gazing at him, seemingly longing for him to take them back to China. Sadly, Lin Chuan could not. They were not just ornaments but witnesses to the history of the Chinese nation—a history of blood and tears...

Lin Chuan looked on for a long time, and Engles seemed to understand Lin Chuan's thoughts, chuckling, "Lin Chuan, that's all in the past. Let's go."

Lin Chuan nodded without saying a word.

From outside, Buckingham Palace almost looked like a white castle, but upon entering, one would discover it was like a resplendent museum, replete with various historical treasures looted from different countries during World War I, and even World War II. These items could excite anyone, not just because they were priceless.

Upon entrance to Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty the Queen was walking towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan saw from afar the dazzling smile of Her Majesty the Queen.

"My Baron, have you finally returned?" Her Majesty the Queen, though aged, still maintained that noble grace and plump beauty.

"Your Majesty," Lin Chuan knelt on one knee, kissed the back of the Queen's hand and said, "I have returned late."

"No," the Queen smiled, saying, "No matter when you come, it's never too late. As long as I am still alive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was touched. For an octogenarian, she still held firm to the belief that he would come back. This was enough to stir Lin Chuan's emotions, and he smiled, "Your Majesty, there are many in this world more outstanding than Lin Chuan, why must you wait for just me?"

"But, you are the only one in the world who can save me," Her Majesty the Queen held Lin Chuan's hand, "Come, I have prepared a banquet for you. It is rare for you to visit, and I have too much to say to you."

Lin Chuan felt somewhat helpless. To be admired by someone could also be such a troubling thing.

Indeed, the banquet was extraordinarily grand, with the exquisite delicacies prepared by more than five-star chefs—foie gras, halal abalone, caviar, sea urchin...

Although Lin Chuan was a warrior, he had the training of a nobleman, and the etiquette at a nobleman's dining table was part of his training. Given his years in combat, particularly often assigned to assassinate targets from high society, this made it all the more necessary for Lin Chuan to be well-versed in noble etiquette. Lin Chuan's actions were calm and composed, earning great admiration from Her Majesty the Queen.
