After Lin Yu made the "robbery" statement.

Mosin-Nagant spoke coldly, "Fluoxetine, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"I've killed people from your Psychology Society before—even if you're S-Rank, I might not lose to you."

As he spoke, he tightened the drawstring of his short bow even further.

Pointing a sharp arrow at him, Lin Yu shook his head, his expression calm and composed.

Although it's unknown whether Mosin-Nagant or Fluoxetine would be stronger in a real fight...

However, his Impostor Fluoxetine could never compare to the renowned "hunter" Mosin-Nagant.

But...

Lin Yu's most powerful weapon from the beginning was never the gun in his hand.

Rather, it was the name "Fluoxetine"—this woman's past—that was Lin Yu's most powerful weapon at this moment.

Of course, Mosin-Nagant might be stronger than Fluoxetine in the moment.

But--

Lin Yu looked at Mosin-Nagant and spoke with a smile.

"Do you have the courage to gamble with me, for this fish... let's gamble on who survives?"

"And, let me remind you, fighting is prohibited at this banquet."

However, Mosin-Nagant is definitely not as insidious as Fluoxetine.

He is the "Bounty Hunter," a well-known Bounty Hunter in the "Hunter Society."

This means he is someone who needs money or really likes money, and is likely a "profit-driven" person.

Mosin-Nagant might take a risk and fight to the death with dangerous individuals.

But the more someone is like this, the more likely they are to put a price tag on all life, even their own.

He wouldn't risk his life without sufficient benefit.

That's why Lin Yu judged him as an "easy target".

"Although we're not at the table right now, besides betting on who wins or loses between the two of us, are you as prepared as I am to face the 'punishment'?"

"And—it wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to evaluate you."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

Mosin-Nagant's expression changed slightly.

Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Can you put down your gun?"

Even though the other party was still holding Bow and Arrows, Lin Yu calmly put away his gun upon hearing this.

"So, what's your choice?"

Mosin-Nagant blew his whistle with a displeased expression.

"Call out--"

The raptor flapped its wings and flew toward Lin Yu, then tossed the dead Flying Fish carcass to him.

Lin Yu caught the dead fish steadily with one hand and laughed.

"Very good, very good—it seems your potential is even greater than I thought."

"Mosin-Nagant, although the organization's rating is already high enough, it seems they still underestimated you."

Mosin-Nagant looked displeased.

"I thought you would mock me for backing down and being weak!"

"How could that be?" Lin Yu waved his hand. "Do you think we like any brainless hardliner?"

"Well... there's still plenty of time. I'm sure getting another one shouldn't be too difficult for you, after all, you're a professional 'hunter'!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he waved goodbye to Mosin-Nagant.

Goodbye.

Without waiting for Mosin-Nagant's response, Lin Yu continued moving while holding the rope.

He dragged the Flying Fish back to the dining table, then looked at "Ka," who was idly looking at the menu in the middle of the pool, and spoke with a smile.

"Hey, Master Chef, I'll store the ingredients for a bit—is that alright?"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Ka looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"Of course, no problem."

After Ka finished speaking, Lin Yu casually tossed the Flying Fish in front of his seat.

Then, Lin Yu pulled on the rope again and headed in one direction.

Having learned from his previous success, Lin Yu quickly set his sights on another "easy target."

Not far after flying away, Lin Yu saw about ten Playing Cards flying through the air, slowly torturing a fathead fish to death.

However, it is also a [Item] that looks like Playing Cards.

It was not Li Hua who was manipulating the Playing Cards.

The man in the Tailcoat and top hat reached out and took back the metallic-looking Playing Cards.

Then, he took off his top hat, reached out, and pulled out the nearly dead fathead fish that had been in front of him just moments before.

He casually put the bighead carp into the transparent bag on his back—there were already several fish in the bag.

This person was none other than the "Magician" of the "Freedom Alliance".

Lin Yu looked at him and spoke with a smile.

"Quite a haul, Qianhuan."

Lin Yu's voice caught Qianhuan's attention.

He raised his head alertly, a kind smile appearing on his face.

"Oh, it's Ms. Fluoxetine... May I ask what brings you here?"

Lin Yu didn't beat around the bush; he spoke his mind directly.

"Robbery! Give me half of the fish you've found, or I'll kill you."

Lin Yu said it bluntly.

Qianhuan's expression changed slightly, and then she spoke cautiously.

"Um, Ms. Fluoxetine —it seems that fighting is prohibited at this banquet."

"Although we're not at the table right now, who knows..."

Qianhuan said cautiously.

Lin Yu listened to Qianhuan's words and felt a surge of emotion.

The people in the "Freedom Alliance" are quick-witted; they actually used this to negotiate with me.

But...

Lin Yu intends to fully embrace the persona of Fluoxetine.

"Then give me the fish, and we won't need this pointless fight."

He said it with complete confidence.

"I only want half, not all of it."

Qianhuan smiled wryly and said, "Then why don't you go and fight it yourself?"

"That's so boring," Lin Yu said matter-of-factly. "I'm saying, why haven't you given it to me yet... are you looking down on me?"

"Don't mention it," Qianhuan quickly said, "I just had some reservations."

"Is it because you're wary of my methods or my character?"

Lin Yu asked.

Qianhuan answered seriously, "Yes, we have both."

Lin Yu chuckled to himself.

"Hahaha... So you're afraid I'll take the gift and then attack you!"

"Don't worry, I don't think you should be killed by me in this Instance — Player as talented and skillful as you, I'd love for you to live!"

"Anyway, if you're still worried, I can swear on it."

"To put your mind at ease—you can even decide to whom I swear."

Lin Yu spoke in a very ordinary tone.

However, considering the content of his words, the more ordinary his tone, the more it revealed a sense of madness.

However, after hearing Lin Yu's words, Qianhuan fell into thought.

He started in a joking tone.

"Well, actually, there's no need to swear an oath..."

"But if you absolutely must swear an oath—swear it to the 'Gods'."

Qianhuan said it seemingly casually.

Upon hearing Qianhuan's words, Lin Yu nodded.

"Okay, sure."

He gently placed his Right Hand on his chest.

"I swear to the Gods —I will absolutely not do anything to harm you during this Instance."
