Yan Huo clearly wanted to say something else, but before he could, there was someone else who spoke up.
It was the boy from the pair of twins.
He said, "If you want to talk, then talk."
It was clear that he wasn't as cautious of Lin Fan as the others and that would have seemed strange, but Lin Fan knew the reason why.
Lin Fan had a spiritual sense that surpassed his own cultivation realm which allowed him to train and tame beasts that were in a higher realm than him. That was what allowed his Xiao Huo, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Lei to reach the high Platinum Realm.
This spiritual sense allowed him to easily see through the cultivation of these twins.
Unlike their peers, these two had actually reached the peak Gold Realm and were on the verge of breaking through to the Platinum Realm. Then there was the powerful energy that was also coming from them, which was a clear indication that they also had some powerful artifacts hidden on them. It seemed like their family really had made a deep investment on them.
Lin Fan didn't get angry at the seemingly arrogant words of this boy and said, "From what I can see, it is clear that the murderer is among us, so it isn't safe to wander around alone or the murderer will just pick us off one by one. For now, we should stay in the camp for the night and see if we can find any more clues tomorrow morning as a group. What does everyone think?"
Yan Huo shouted out, "You're crazy! You think that anyone will trust you after everything you pulled…"
But before he could finish, the boy twin said, "Alright, I agree with this. We'll spend the night here and search in the morning."
Yan Huo turned to him and said, "Yue Xing, do you really think you can speak for everyone?"
But then again, there was someone else that interjected.
This time it was the girl who looked like a librarian. She hesitantly said, "I also agree to this…"
Then it was the person in the cloak who spoke in a deep voice, "No objection." Once he said that, the person in the cloak walked off without caring about the others.
Yan Huo's expression was ugly, but there was nothing he could say since that was already the majority. He just kicked a stone in front of him and shot Lin Fan one last glare before heading off on his own.
The rest of the people dispersed, but the twins came over to Lin Fan first.
Lin Fan just looked back at them without saying a word.
Finally the boy twin broke the silence and said, "You're strong and smart, we can work together."
But without even waiting for Lin Fan's response, he took his sister's hand and walked off.
Lin Fan just smiled as he watched them leave before looking around. He found that most of the geniuses had left, the only one who was still here was the girl in the lolita dress.
She just stood there waiting, making it clear that she had been waiting for Lin Fan to look at her. When she saw that Lin Fan was finally looking over, she gave him a wink and stuck out her tongue before turning to leave.
Lin Fan immediately felt a chill coming from behind him in the direction of Angela the moment the girl did this and he couldn't help feeling cold sweat dripping down his back.
One of Zhang Liang's disciples came over and asked, "Owner Lin, what is your plan here?"
Lin Fan just smiled and shook his head before saying, "If I told you, it wouldn't work."
That disciple's lips twitched, but they didn't say anything else about this. Instead, they asked, "Then the thing you wanted us to prepare…"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "If you can get that ready for me by tomorrow, that would be best. I'll need it tomorrow."
The disciple nodded and said, "Alright."
After saying this, he waved his hand at the other supporters and they wheeled Yu Wang off, heading back inside to prepare the thing that Lin Fan asked for.
Lin Fan's plan was actually very simple. He was showing off his strength to make himself the target.
With the strength that he had shown, he had made it clear that he would be the biggest threat to the murderer, so the murderer would want to take care of him.
Lin Fan wasn't afraid of the murderer doing something, he was most worried about the murderer doing nothing. If the murderer didn't do a single thing, he would never be able to find any clues and wouldn't be able to give an explanation for Yu Wang's death.
But he wasn't as worried now since he was certain that he had displayed enough threat to make the murderer worried.
Lin Fan wouldn't have done something like this before because he felt that he was weak, but as his cultivation continued to grow, he also began developing the mentality of an expert.
He was no longer as worried about everything as before and after the kidnapping experience on the airship, he knew that being too passive would only hurt him. He wouldn't let the same thing happen again.
Moreover, if this was related to what he thought it was, this would be much more serious than just one dead person. If he didn't get to the bottom of this, this might be dangerous for the entire human race.
…
The day passed by with Lin Fan and the geniuses just spending time at camp, going around the edges of the camp from time to time to clear out the beasts that came to attack them.
There was nothing special that happened other than the occasional beast that attacked them. That was until night finally came.
A person was standing by themself at the edge of the camp, leaning against the hull of the armoured vehicle that was beside them, looking like they were just standing there quite relaxed. No one had noticed the strange shadow that was beside that person at all.
That person's lips didn't seem to be moving, but if once came close, they would have heard a very ominous conversation.
"You couldn't have done it better? Now that they've discovered his body, this makes it much harder for us." That person said.
The shadow just gave a snicker before saying, "What does it matter if they find out? We'll kill them all eventually. As long as you keep doing your part, you will receive what we promised."
But that person didn't accept this and continued, "You saw what that kid was capable of today, he is clearly not someone we want to mess with. If my hunch isn't wrong, he's someone who the Monster Trainer Union specially called to investigate this situation."
The shadow still didn't care at all as it said, "You can't tell because you're weak, but that kid isn't as strong as you think he is. The Platinum Realm might seem strong for you, but it is nothing for us. That girl beside him as well, she seems to be as strong as he is."
That person still couldn't calm down, "The Platinum Realm isn't considered strong for you? That's already as strong as the head of my family. Moreover, as someone specially invited here by the Monster Trainer Union, he must be someone that has a strong backing. He might even have a Legendary Realm Artifact with him."
The shadow gave another snicker, "That is the problem with you lower realm kids, you really don't understand how big the world really is. Do you really think that Platinum Realm is that special? In front of Lord Jin, it would only take a single flick of his finger to take care of him."
That person couldn't help revealing an ugly look when he heard this since he still had his pride as a genius, even if he was forced to work with the Beast Clan now. But he realized that the shadow was right.
The planet they were on was nothing more than a lower realm. For the Beast Clan that was considered a dominant force in the entire universe, so much so that humans feared them, they had nothing to worry about in the lower realm.
With what he knew about the Beast Clan's plans, this Lord Jin should be at least in the Legendary Realm. In front of the Legendary Realm, all those who weren't in the Legendary Realm were nothing more than ants. As long as they had this Lord Jin supporting them, they had nothing to worry about.
That person then asked, "What is our next move then? What does Lord Jin want us to do."
The shadow gave a smile of disdain as it said, "There's nothing to do right now, we just have to monitor them and make sure they don't run away. Lord Jin has a special use for that Platinum Realm kid, so we're coming up with a special plan for them."
That person nodded before continuing to discuss other aspects of the plan.
As the two of them discussed their plan in this hidden corner of the camp, they didn't notice that there were actually ants and various other insects that were moving around them, sending information to another place.
In another part of the camp, Lin Fan and Brainy were sitting there listening to the information they received.
After the failure from last time, Lin Fan had made sure to increase his surveillance so that nothing would go wrong. It seemed like that was the right decision.
