?As he walked through the streets of this Heavenly Tree City, there were things that dropped from his sleeve all over the place without anyone noticing.
After these things dropped, they immediately ran off in different directions.
These were puppets that he was dropping to help him scout out Heavenly Tree City.
But of course, these were the ones controlled by the Control Toad.
Greeny just didn’t have the range to cover all of Heavenly Tree City after all.
Instead, Greeny would be used in one area and just that one area.
After walking around Heavenly Tree City, acting as if he was touring the city after just arriving, Lin Fan went to find an inn. This was an inn that was rather fancy, but he had no choice since this was the only kind of inn that was in this area.
The area that he was staying in was the area around the Governor Manor.
That was where he would be sending in Greeny’s puppets.
Greeny’s puppets had a limited range, so just the area in the Governor Manor was enough for it to send its puppets. At the same time, since Greeny had finer control over the puppets, it would be easier for Greeny to find the information that he wanted.
The Control Toad was fine with doing crowd control since it just had to give a single order to the Control Worms that would control puppets among the populus.
In short, they were given roles that suited them.
But of course, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt them since he wasn’t that kind of person in the first place.
They were citizens of the Mu Empire and one of his wives was the empress of the Mu Empire, so he would just be using them temporarily before releasing them safely.
Though if the governor had betrayed the Mu Empire, that was a different story.
With the puppets that he had spread around finding different creatures and humans to infect, Lin Fan focused on the inside of the Governor Manor.
It wasn’t hard to find people to take over with Greeny’s seeds, but he made sure that they were people that deserved this kind of treatment. Follow current novels on Noᴠelꜰire.nt
Those that were hard working and diligent were ignored while those that slacked off and bullied others were chosen.
After getting enough puppets, he was able to find everything that he needed to know about the Governor Manor. He was able to find all different forms of corruption and all the different scandals in the manor.
But, he didn’t find anything that linked the governor to the Lin Family.
Or at least that was on the surface.
“Go and find those higher ranking officials.” Lin Fan gave this order to Greeny.
Greeny gave a nod before focusing on its puppets.
Until now, Lin Fan had only targeted those that seemed to be lower ranked since he didn’t want to alert people, but now it didn’t matter. He had made sure that those in the Governor Manor weren’t able to see through the puppets at all.
Even when they were walking right in front of the stronger experts of the Governor Manor, no one noticed a single thing.
That was what had worried him about using Greeny all this time.
But now it seemed that he had been worried for nothing.
Now that Greeny had also reached a level that was equal to the Foundation Realm, it was easy for it to take control of those higher ranked officials.
In no time at all, Lin Fan was even able to gain access to all of the governor’s private affairs.
He learned that the governor had several secret deals and two affairs that resulted in illegitimate children with two different mistresses. But not a single one of these things had anything to do with the Lin Family or any form of insurgence.
Everything done was just for the benefit of the governor himself and no one else.
So while he couldn’t be considered a good person, at the very least Lin Fan knew that he wasn’t cooperating with the Lin Family nor did he have any thoughts of betraying the Mu Empire.
Officials like this were common, so he would just use this governor for everything that he was worth before tossing him away.
With that thought in mind, Lin Fan decided on when he would strike.
It was still light out, so he should wait until the sun set at least to have the greatest effect.
So he waited for the sun to set.
When the sun finally set, Lin Fan just casually strolled up to the Governor Manor.
It was dark out, so there weren’t many people around. Even if there were people walking around, they would have been stopped by the puppets that Lin Fan had placed in the surrounding area.
So he was able to walk up to the guards of the Governor Manor without anyone bothering him.
When he walked up, Lin Fan just gave a simple nod to these guards and they went forward to open the door for him without a word.
These guards were the ones that he had arranged to stand here.
Lin Fan had complete control of the Governor Manor through Greeny, so naturally he would be able to control the guards at the entrance.
These guards…all had Greeny’s seed in them, allowing Greeny to control them.
As for the story behind these guards, they were people who had embezzled funds with a certain official in the Governor Manor, so they weren’t good people. Since they weren’t good people, Lin Fan didn’t mind using Greeny to control them.
After walking into the Governor Manor, he saw people walking around still.
Even if it was night time, that didn’t mean that the Governor Manor stopped operating.
There were still things to be taken care of and guards that would patrol this place to make sure that no one was causing trouble.
But not a single one of them seemed to notice Lin Fan as he walked in.
That was because…all of them were puppets controlled by Greeny.
Every single person that was currently in the Governor Manor was a puppet controlled by Greeny, so it could be said that he had control over every single part of this Governor Manor.
The ones that weren’t controlled had been let go by the ones that were controlled.
And the only one left in the manor that wasn’t controlled by Greeny was…the governor.
At this time, he was lying in bed with his wife, trying to get frisky with her.
How did Lin Fan know that?
Well even the governor’s wife was under his control.
Her secret?
Just like how the governor had affairs with other women, she had affairs with other men.
She had a secret lover who was half her age that she was hiding from the governor.
Both her and the secret lover had been discovered by Greeny and they had been turned into puppets.
After entering the Governor Manor, Lin Fan just ignored all of the people walking around just like how they ignored him. He walked forward as if he already knew where he was going.
There was no hesitation in his steps at all as he walked forward.
It was as if he already knew exactly where he was heading.
Thought that wasn’t strange since he had already explored this entire place with Greeny’s puppets, so he did know exactly where he was going in a sense.
Finally, Lin Fan arrived at the room that he wanted to reach.
As he stood outside, he knew everything that was happening inside because of the puppet that was in there.
So without hesitation, he opened the door and made his way in.
When the people inside saw him come in under the dim light, they couldn’t help being surprised.
Or rather, one person was surprised and the other was just acting that way.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
That was the natural order of how things should go in this situation.
The person inside pointed at Lin Fan as he shouted this.
But then before he could say, “Guards, someone take him…”
This person’s eyes opened wide in shock as he looked at the person who covered his mouth.
It was his wife who had been lying in bed beside him.
He just looked at his wife in a daze as he couldn’t understand what was happening.
Lin Fan turned to the wife to give a nod and say, “Good work.”
Then he turned back to the other person.
This other person was the governor of the Peach Province, the master of this manor.
His eyes opened wide in shock and fear as he turned to look at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked right back into his eyes for a bit before saying, “Alright, it seems like he’s calmed down. You can let him talk now.”
With this order, his wife released her hand from his mouth and the governor was allowed to speak again.
The first thing that he said was, “Guards…”
But Lin Fan interrupted him again by saying, “You can scream all you want, but no one will come.”
The governor’s voice trailed off as he looked at Lin Fan in shock.
There was a part of him that seemed to believe this since he was even able to control his wife to cover his mouth like this.
If he could even do that, why wouldn’t he be able to control the others?
So the governor knitted his brows and asked, “What do you want?”
