?The man that the waitress gestured to was just sitting there at the bar drinking to himself.
He didn’t look at anyone else here and just had his head down the entire time as he drank.
With the way that he was drinking, it was almost as if he was trying to forget something.
But the strange thing was that no one took the seats beside him.
The bar was completely filled, but there were two empty seats on both sides of him.
It was as if they were avoiding him for a reason.
Lin Li Zi couldn’t help knitting her brows when she saw this.
She wanted to gesture to Lin Fan to not approach this man, but Lin Fan completely ignored her as he made his way over.
Without any fear, he sat down right beside the man drinking with his head down, but he didn’t say anything to him.
Instead, he said to the bartender, “A drink for me and my friend here.”
The bartender couldn’t help raising a brow to look at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan just solved this problem with more money by tossing a gold coin to him.
The bartender still looked at Lin Fan with a strange look, but he didn’t question his decision anymore and just poured the drinks for the two of them.
After the drinks were poured and placed on the table, Lin Fan picked his drink up and raised it towards the man as he said, “To your health.”
The man slowly looked up at Lin Fan with knitted brows, as if he was trying to figure out what Lin Fan was up to. But when he couldn’t see through him, he just revealed a wide smile and said, “To my health, for you don’t have any!”
Without even giving Lin Fan a chance to say anything, he took both of the glasses and chugged the wine down.
If it was anyone else, they most certainly would have been offended by this.
But Lin Fan just sat there with a smile on his face, as if he wasn’t bothered at all.
He just waved at the bartender and said, “Some more wine over here.”
The bartender still looked at him with a strange look, but he still poured the wine when Lin Fan tossed another gold coin onto the table.
The power of money was a power that went above all.
After another round was brought over, Lin Fan didn’t bother drinking as he gestured for the man to keep drinking.
The man looked at Lin Fan with an even stranger look before revealing a wide smile again to say, “Thank you for your continued donations. If you want, you can just give me money directly next time.”
Lin Fan gave a nod before tossing another gold coin at the man.
The man was caught off guard at first, but he quickly reached out to grab it.
But before he could, Lin Fan quickly snatched it out of the air and held it in his hand in front of the man’s face.
With a smile, Lin Fan said, “Before I give you this, I want some information.”
The man slightly knitted his brows, but he slowly gave a nod afterwards.
Lin Fan calmly asked, “Blood Lingzhi, you know where it is?”
When the man heard this, his brows deeply knit and then he said, “No, I have no idea what those things are!”
He didn’t even bother saying anything else as he turned his chair around to avoid looking at Lin Fan. However, he could avoid it since Lin Li Zi was already sitting on his other side.
She could tell from his strong reaction that he had to know about the Blood Lingzhi, so she came towards him and said, “Please, I need the Blood Lingzhi to save my mother. You’re my only hope at this point.”
The man wanted to turn around again, but he remembered that Lin Fan was on the opposite side.
Between the two of them, Lin Fan gave him more pressure and the more dangerous feeling. So in the end, he chose to face Lin Li Zi.
He shook his head and said, “I don’t know anything about this thing. Please ask someone else.”
Lin Li Zi wouldn’t give up as she grabbed his hand and said, “Please, I know that you know where the Blood Lingzhi is. We don’t even need you to guide us to where it is, we’re just asking you to tell us where we can find it.”
The man shook his head still without saying a thing, as if he was just trying to ignore her completely.
But since Lin Li Zi wouldn’t give up, the man suddenly changed his personality.
He looked back at Lin Li Zi with a wide smile before looking down at her chest.
Lin Li Zi’s figure…wasn’t bad.
She had a chest that wasn’t too full and waist that was filled in, giving her a nice hourglass figure.
It was a figure that would make men drool.
It wasn’t strange that someone would look at her like this, but when they did it so openly…
Lin Li Zi immediately raised her hand to cover her chest as she said, “You crazy man!”
The man wasn’t bothered at all by this as he said, “If you really want to know, then give me a night and let me do whatever I want with that body of yours. As long as you give me that, I’ll tell you whatever you want.”
This time, it was the man’s turn to move closer towards Lin Li Zi while she moved away from him.
She had her arms in front of herself to cover her body, even though there was nothing that was being revealed.
She just felt that she didn’t want any part of her to have his eyes on them.
The man kept moving forward with his hands raised and moving in a lewd motion as if he was about to grab her with them.
But before he could, Lin Fan suddenly grabbed his collar.
The man was surprised at first, but then he was even more surprised when he found that he couldn’t break free of this grasp at all. No matter how he tried, he found that Lin Fan’s hand was firmly holding onto his collar.
Finally, he said, “What are you doing? Is this the way to ask someone for information?”
Lin Fan gave a chuckle before saying, “There’s no need to act this way just because you don’t want to talk. We can always talk this through instead of relying on tricks like this.”
Lin Li Zi just pointed at the man and said, “He’s crazy, he’s crazy I tell you. One moment he was acting normal and then the next, he was acting like this. It’s not just an act!”
Lin Fan ignored her as he stared at the man, waiting for an answer from him.
The man stopped acting that way and deeply knitted his brows before saying, “Is this really the way you want to ask someone for something.”
Lin Fan gave a nod with a smile before saying, “That’s right, this is how I want to do this.”
Then his eyes turned a bit cold as he said, “If there’s information I want, then you only have a single choice. It’s just all about whether you want to make this easier on yourself or not.”
The man’s chin dropped when he heard this, but he couldn’t do anything since he could feel the pressure coming from Lin Fan. Ths chapter is updatd by oᴠel ꜰre.nt
When he looked over at the waitress, he found that she was even knitting her brows as she stared at Lin Fan.
The man turned back and slowly asked, “Just who are you?”
Lin Fan pulled out his mercenary license and said, “Just a simple B Rank Mercenary. So, will you talk or will you make this harder on yourself?”
The man really didn’t know what to do in this situation.
But in the end, he broke down and said, “Please don’t make me relive those memories.”
Lin Fan gave a nod when he heard this.
He had already guessed that it was something like this, but he hadn’t said anything.
He just waited to see how the man would react to this.
Now that the man had told him the truth, he just calmly said, “That doesn’t matter to me. You can tell me what I want to know, or…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but there was a chill that ran down the spine of the man when he heard this.
He once again looked over at the waitress who was just standing there staring at Lin Fan.
The waitress saw this and had no choice but to come over.
She came up to Lin Fan and said, “Please don’t make this worse for yourself. Just let him go and let’s talk about this.”
Lin Fan gave a snort and then put his pressure on her.
This waitress was actually a B Rank Mercenary herself, but when she felt that pressure, she knew that she was completely outclassed.
She couldn’t even remain standing as she fell to her knees under this pressure.
Lin Fan just calmly said, “I don’t want to.”
He turned back to the man and said, “Now, I’ll give you three seconds and if you don’t give me the information that I want…”
Once again, he didn’t finish his sentence, but this time he also put his pressure on the man.
There was no time to waste, so he didn’t want to play games.
In this world, strength was the only thing that one could rely on and since he had it, he would use it.
The man also fell off the chair and to his knees when he felt this pressure fall on him.
He looked up at Lin Fan with an aggrieved look before saying, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
