At that moment, the entire village fell into silence.
Harold was stunned at first but then burst into laughter. "Alright, Nolan, I already know you're quite capable, but there's no need to crack jokes like this. If you said Fang and the others joined forces to defeat Mr. Lynch, I might believe it a little.
"But you're here, standing before Mr. Lynch, and ordering him to sever his own arm to spare his life? Hahaha, that's the biggest joke I've ever heard! Anyway, I don't believe it. Do any of you believe this?"
Harold looked at Ben and the others shaking their heads, finding the situation laughable. Ben and the others hurriedly shook their heads, signaling that they didn't believe it.
Even some of the big shots who had come with Fang were just now learning of this situation. They looked at Nolan with a somewhat skeptical expression. They believed in Fang's power, but they never could have imagined that Nolan was capable of something on such a scale.
However, seeing Fang nod gravely in acknowledgment, they all swallowed nervously. They had no choice but to accept the truth of it all. At that moment, Megan couldn't help but tremble.
Nolan looked at Harold with a faint smile and said, "Don't believe me? Just make a call. It's that simple—one phone call, and you'll have the answer."
Seeing that Nolan didn't seem to be lying, Harold said grimly, "Fine, I'll make the call right now!"
Nolan chuckled and said, "Wait."
Harold immediately relaxed, laughing as he said, "What, are you scared now? Afraid I'll expose the truth?"
Nolan shook his head and waved his hand calmly. "Someone, get the big screen ready."
Then, with a cold smile, Nolan looked at Harold and said, "What's the point of just hearing Mr. Lynch's voice? Let's do a video call instead. I'll set up the big screen so everyone can see. Since you've decided to drive yourselves into despair, let's start right now."
