While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

The villa's gate opened, and a figure appeared.

Tom's voice came through:

"Tim, how do we plan to duel?"

"Should we follow European rules or Western rules?"

"I'll listen to you..."

Tom was halfway through his sentence when Tim interrupted him, shouting:

"shot!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

More than a dozen guns fired simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of fire at the figure.

The ammunition was exhausted, and the dark figure fell forward.

Upon seeing this, tears streamed down Dani's face as she cried out:

"Tom!"

"Why did you die in my place?!"

"Waaaaah~"

Denise broke free from Tim's grasp and tried to rush over to hug "Tom's" Gundam.

Tim took a step further and locked Dennis in a Nelson lock, refusing to believe that the fallen Gundam was really Tom.

Nelson lock: also known as double shoulder grip, where the user puts their arms under the other person's armpits and then clamps them tightly.

Just as Tim had feared, Tom's voice came from the villa again:

"Tim, is this the duel you were talking about?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tim's face darkened, and he tightened his grip on Denise, firmly blocking her in front of him.

Denise, however, burst into laughter through her tears and shouted towards the villa:

"Tom, don't do anything foolish. I'm not worth risking your life for."

"Shoot us all! Kill us all!"

"To die by your gun is the most beautiful and romantic love story!"

Tom was hiding in the villa, and the shadowy figure was disguised as a Gundam from the villa, with a stick propped up behind it.

The original plan was for Tom to fake his death to lull Tim into a false sense of security and let Diane into the villa.

Without the hostage Denise, Tom could easily kill all the Razor Sharpshooters.

Unfortunately, the plan failed, and Tom had to think of another way.

Tom took out a small mirror and observed the situation outside the villa.

Tom shouted towards the outside of the villa:

"Brothers of the Razor Claws, you may not know who Dani is."

"Her uncle is a Democratic senator in the United States."

"A senator is equivalent to the Lords of the House of Lords in the UK."

"If something happens to her, do you think your whole family will survive?"

Tom's words hit the nail on the head, and many of the Razor Shields gunmen looked at Tim.

Before Tim left, he only told her not to hurt her, but he didn't say that she had direct access to the heavens.

Tim was hiding something from his brothers, which naturally shook their loyalty.

Building trust takes years of consistent effort.

But destruction often happens in an instant.

Tom continued to embellish the story:

"Everyone, look around. The police have surrounded the villa."

"Even if you kill me, do you think you can escape?"

"I assure you all, I will only kill the ringleader, Tim."

"As long as you protect Dani, you will not only be innocent, but you will also be able to become official employees of the Finance Bureau."

"A full-time employee of the Treasury Department receives a salary of fifty dollars a month, which can be passed down to one's children. It is quite a wealthy position."

"Think about your own children. Do you really want to live like them, risking your lives to make a living?"

The Razor Gang gunmen began to hesitate. More and more police officers were gathering around them. Could they still escape?

Tom's suggestion is a good one.

Tim quickly spoke up:

"Brothers, we all came from the British Isles."

"Have you forgotten what kind of government it is?"

Upon hearing this, the Razor Sharp's gunmen's expressions instantly changed, becoming even more resolute than when they joined the party in their previous lives.

When Tom saw himself in the small mirror, he cursed inwardly:

"British government, what have you done to them?"

"How come all my previous efforts to persuade people were wasted with just one sentence, 'The government is not trustworthy'!"

"British government, you've done me a terrible disservice!"

"Thanks" to the inhumanity of the British government, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully today.

Tom had no choice but to activate the final plan—to channel Chow Yun-fat!

Although it's dangerous, I have no choice but to take the shot!

Despite Tom's high intelligence rating of 5.0, he still couldn't kill a dozen enemies just a dozen meters away from the villa with ricochets.

What if a few survivors are left, and they decide to die and drag Dinah down with them?

Tom must peek out the window and fire directly, ensuring he can kill the Razor Sharpshooter instantly and save Denise's life.

A dark figure appeared by the window, drawing the attention of the Razor Snapper.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several gunshots rang out, and a few bullets shot out from beside the dark figure. They were all ricochets that Tom had fired using geometry.

The members of the Razor Gang were all neurotic, firing their guns at the shadowy figures in the window.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Razor Gunner's Gunslinger fell out of the window.

At another window, another dark figure appeared, several bullets were fired, and the Razor Claw members fired back, causing a Razor Claw Gundam to fall out.

After being repeated three or four times, anyone could notice the clues.

But the villa visit a few minutes earlier had instilled a deep fear in the Razor Gang gunmen towards Tom.

Even if reason tells them that the shadowy figure is not Tom, fear will still make them shoot at the window.

The Razor Gang gunmen's mental strength was constantly being depleted, and their counterattack time gradually became longer.

Tom's brain precisely counts the seconds—1.2 seconds, 1.8 seconds, 2.4 seconds, 3.1 seconds…

5.8 seconds!

Finally, the Razor Sharpshooter's counterattack time exceeded five seconds.

It's noon!

The last dark figure appeared; this time it was Tom himself.

Tom picked up two Thompson submachine guns and fired at a dozen or so Razor Sharpshooters.

Tom pushed his three-dimensional attributes of [Strength: 4.1], [Agility: 3.9], and [Intelligence: 5.0] to the limit, knowing he only had five seconds to seize this life-or-death moment.

Headshots, headshots, and more headshots...

Five seconds later, only two people remained standing in the villa garden: Diane and Tim, who was hiding behind Diane.

Tim watched his brothers fall, and he went completely insane!

Tim laughed loudly, looking up at the sky, and shouted towards the villa:

"Tom, since you're not leaving the Peaky Blinders any way out, then you won't have an easy time either!"

"Even if Dani dies, her uncle won't let you off the hook!"

"You're the one who caused her death!"

Tom admitted that Tim was right; regardless of how Diane died, Tom was definitely involved.

Tom will be severely punished, and he can forget about ever working as a civil servant in the finance bureau again.

Tim pulled his arm out from under Dani's armpit, first reaching for the pistol holster at his waist, then pointing it at Dani's head, intending to shoot her in the head.

But when Tim raised his arm, he realized, where was his forearm?

Tom had already discovered Tim's Nelson lock, a position that exposes the forearm of the person behind him.

Tom used the last two seconds of the five-second timer to precisely aim at Tim's elbow joint, knocking his forearm completely off without injuring Denny.

The attributes of [Strength: 4.1], [Agility: 3.9], and [Intelligence: 5.0] are still too authoritative.

Tim's action of drawing his gun was merely a hallucination caused by the recent loss of a limb, a result of his brain not yet processing the information.

It's all over. The New York Razor Snapper will be gone forever after tonight.

Next, Tom will go to the eastern constituency to deal with the last troublemaker – the Fuxing Society.
