In less than a minute, there was only the boss left.
The boss had been staring on in shock as he couldn’t understand what had happened.
He had prepared everything, so why was it that all of his men were dead instead?
Why did the array that he had to ask for from the family not work?
Why did everything go wrong so quickly?𝒐𝓋𝑙xt.𝓬𝔬𝕞
No, none of that mattered.
The most important reason he failed was that he didn’t know who he was dealing with.
He had many thoughts as to who Lin Fan was during this time, but not a single one of them had turned out to be correct.
It turned out that Lin Fan was a much more terrifying person than he had thought.
So the only thing that he needed to think about now was…
The boss jolted as this thought passed through his mind before he quickly turned to look at Lin Fan standing over the corpse of the Foundation Realm Cultivator. Seeing the way that Lin Fan just stood there calmly, he couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine.
He had killed without any hesitation just now, so there was no doubt that he would also kill him now that he had a chance.
So the only thing that the boss should be thinking about now was how to survive this predicament.
The first thing that he thought of was…
“As long as you spare me, I will never come looking for you.” He begged for his life.
He knew that there was no use holding onto his pride in this situation, so the best thing to do was beg for his life.
Then he added, “If my family doesn’t hear back from me within some time, they will send people to come and find me. I’m also here on behalf of the eighth prince, so he will definitely send people here to find me as well.”
He used the power of his family and the eighth prince to threaten him again.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at him as if he didn’t care about any of this.
Seeing this, the boss couldn’t help feeling more and more uneasy. As the uneasiness filled him, he couldn’t help saying more and more in a plea for his life.
However, Lin Fan just calmly looked at him as if none of this mattered.
Finally, Lin Fan asked, “Which family do you belong to?”
The boss couldn’t help being taken aback, but he also sensed a chance.
Lin Fan had been silent this entire time, but now he had suddenly asked this question.
Didn’t that mean that he was wary of the family that he was from?
So that was a straw for the boss to grasp from.
Without hesitation, he said, “I’m from the Yao Family of Brilliant Diamond City.”
The way that he said this was filled with confidence, as if he believed that Lin Fan would back down immediately as soon as he heard this. But that was also how strong the Yao Family was.
They were not one of the ducal families that had influence, but a military family that had power.
It started three generations ago, but they had slowly built up enough power that they had control over a third of the armed forces in the Mu Empire. They were the second strongest influence in the army after the Mu Royal Family themselves.
So this was without a doubt a family that people didn’t want to offend.
So it was reasonable that he was confident.
But he didn’t receive the response that he thought he would.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at him and said, “Is that so?”
The boss couldn’t help shivering again when he heard this.
Lin Fan had only asked since he wanted to see if he could get any information from this person, but he never thought that he actually would get some. But the scale of this information…was a bit too much.
If this person was from the Yao Family…that would mean that the Yao Family was working with the eighth prince since he had been sent here on behalf of the eighth prince.
Lin Fan had already checked some of the documents last night, so he knew that the eighth prince was indeed involved in this matter.
So now that there was this connection with the Yao Family, he understood why the fourth prince had sent him to check this Dragon Tongue Herb. It seemed that this was much bigger than he thought…
There were plenty of things for him to consider now, but before that…
He had to clean this place up.
The boss had been silent, but seeing the way that Lin Fan’s eyes changed, he knew that this wasn’t going to go the way that he wanted. So he suddenly pulled out something from his Storage Ring and threw it onto the ground.
This was a special smoke bomb that had a special mineral in it that would negate spiritual sense and spiritual energy, so it was a smoke screen that could be used against cultivators.
He didn’t know if this would work, but this was the straw that he grasped.
He immediately turned and started to run after throwing this smoke bomb down.
But to his shock, he found that he couldn’t move at all. It was as if there was something grasping his feet.
He looked down to find that there were claws that had come out of the ground and were grabbing at his feet.
The boss was about to use his weapon to slash at these claws, but Lin Fan had also charged forward. There was only so much space between them and he knew where the boss had been, so it was impossible for him to miss.
The boss raised his weapon to block Lin Fan’s sword, but it was impossible for him to block it in the end.
The sword cut right through his weapon and his body.
As the boss fell to the ground, his face was covered in shock and disbelief as he couldn’t believe what had just happened.
After all, he had the strongest Yao Family and the eighth prince behind him, how could this person not care at all.
Even in his final moments, he couldn’t understand what had happened.
After taking care of this boss, Lin Fan put away his weapon and then took out two bottles of special powder.
One was the normal powder that he had used last time, but the other one was a higher grade version of it.
The normal powder would only be able to take care of big brother Hai and his people, but the corpses of Foundation Realm Cultivators were much harder to take care of. So he was using this enhanced version of the powder to take care of the four Foundation Realm bodies.
This cost him a pretty penny, but it was better than leaving these bodies to be found.
This time, he made sure that he didn’t miss a thing when cleaning up the crime scene. Of course, he didn’t forget to take the Storage Rings of the boss and the Foundation Realm Cultivators.
Once everything had been taken care of, he quickly headed back to Night Fang City to meet up with Yun Lan and the kids with the two unconscious kids.
When she saw him, she immediately ran up and hugged him, but it was awkward since Lin Fan was holding those two kids.
She took them from him as she moved away before looking him up and down, as if she was trying to see if there were any injuries on him. But of course, she wasn’t able to see anything since Lin Fan was still covered in the same cloak as before.
After making sure that everyone was alright, Lin Fan went to check on Yun Lan’s friend.
Yun Lan’s friend was the last loose end that he had to worry about.
It would be best if she would come with them since it would be easy for him to control who she could contact if she was in the Dungeon City, but it wasn’t as if he could just force her to go. So he went to ask her what she would do from now on.
In the end, Yun Lan’s friend said that she would stay in Night Fang City.
This was the worst case scenario for Lin Fan since it meant that he wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on her.
But he had to accept it since it would just make things worse with Yun Lan if he didn’t.
There was even the thought of killing her that passed through his mind, but he also quickly threw away that thought.
So in the end, he decided that he would have the Royal Style Store watch over her and recruit her.
At the very least, he would be able to control her that way.
There wasn’t much for Yun Lan and the kids to pack up, so it took them no time to leave the city.
The city might have provided some benefits to the orphanage, but they couldn’t care less if it existed or not. So there was no need to report to the City Lord that they were leaving.
Even when they went out the gate, there wasn’t a single guard that said anything about all the kids they were bringing out.
That was just the kind of city this was, but that was good for Lin Fan.
So just like this, he took Yun Lan and the kids away from this place.
