?Lin Yu had felt the aura that had come from Lin Fan, so he believed that he was most likely the B Ranker that they were talking about.
But he just couldn’t understand how this B Ranker who had suddenly appeared in their town had gotten to know Lin Li Zi. No matter what happened, this B Ranker shouldn’t be looking for Lin Li Zi, the shame of their Lin Family.
So he couldn’t help feeling confused and frustrated at the same time.
The fourth master also revealed a frown when he heard this, but he shook his head and said, “Regardless, it doesn’t matter if he’s a B Ranker, that isn’t enough to threaten our Lin Family.”
The other masters nodded in agreement to this, but the first master still said, “Even if he can’t threaten our Lin Family, that doesn’t mean that we should let him run freely in our territory. It would hurt our prestige to let him run freely like this.”
Once again, the other masters nodded in agreement to this.
The second master gave another sigh and said, “That daughter of yours really has caused quite the mess for us to clean up.”
The fourth master didn’t ignore the second master this time as he glared at him, but he still didn’t say anything.
After a long silence, the third master who had been silent the entire time said, “Stop fighting and think of a way to deal with this person. If you can’t, then I’ll send out my squad to take care of him.”
All three of the other masters couldn’t help revealing concerned looks when they heard this.
This was actually the last thing that they wanted since the only time the third master’s people were sent out was when they needed to take someone out.
He was the one that did all the dirty work for their Lin Family.
But this person was a B Ranked Mercenary, so they didn’t want to have to deal with him this way for two main reasons.
One was that he was a mercenary affiliated with the Mercenary Guild.
If they were to use this heavy handed method against him, there was no doubt that the Mercenary Guild would have some clues about this. Offending the Mercenary Guild just for this was not worth it to them.
Second, it was because they didn’t want to deal with him completely like this.
They actually wanted to see if they could recruit him to their Lin Family if possible.
A B Ranked Mercenary wasn’t very strong, but they weren’t weak either.
If they could get this B Ranked Mercenary under them, there was no doubt that they would be able to make some progress in getting closer to the Mercenary Guild. Through him, they might even make a dent in the Mercenary Guild and gain some influence in the Mercenary Guild.
That was something that they had wanted to do for a long time, but had never been able to do anything since the Mercenary Guild was so powerful.
After a long silence, Lin Yu suddenly said, “Let me handle it.”
All of the four masters turned to look at Lin Yu when they heard this before revealing looks of doubt.
It was the fourth master who said, “Are you certain that you’re up for this?”
It wasn’t that he was doubting his son, but something that was very important to them, so they couldn’t make a single mistake.
Lin Yu gave a firm nod without any hesitation as he said, “I’ve already made contact with him, even if it is bad. As long as I show my sincerity, I’m certain that I’ll be able to move him.”
The four masters still looked at Lin Yu with doubt, but in the end, it was the second master who said, “Alright, let’s let him try.”
The second master was the one who had been arguing with the fourth master the most, but now he was supporting Lin Yu who was the son of the fourth master.
The other three just looked at Lin Yu for a bit before suddenly saying as well in turn, “Alright, just do what you can.”
Lin Yu gave a firm nod before slowly asking, “Then about the resources for this.”
The fourth master was the one that said, “You can take what you think you need and just tell us later.”
Lin Yu’s eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn’t forget to say, “Yes, I will do my best.”
The masters all nodded at him casually before the fourth master waved his hand at Lin Yu to say, “You can leave now.”
Lin Yu gave a bow before saying, “Yes, thank you for this opportunity.”
When he was gone, none of the masters said a thing as they turned to look at a bookcase that was in this room. All of them were looking at it as if they were waiting for something to happen.
It didn’t take long before the bookcase suddenly started to move.
This bookcase came forward at first before opening to the side to reveal a secret passage and a dark robed figure that was waiting behind it.
Once this secret passage opened fully, that dark robed figure came forward to stand in front of the four masters before falling to one knee.
This dark robed figure was the reason why they had agreed to let Lin Yu try with that B Ranked Mercenary. They had received a secret signal that this dark robed figure had arrived, so they completely lost interest in that B Ranked Mercenary.
After all, the news that this dark robed figure brought them was much more important.
After bowing down to them, the dark robed figure said, “Everything has been prepared. It will only take two more days before we can make our move.”
The eyes of the four masters lit up when they heard this, but then the first master asked, “What about the governor, does he know anything?”
The dark robed figure shook his head and said, “They have no idea. Because of how careful we’ve been, we’ve been able to avoid everyone’s detection.”
The four masters revealed wide smiles when they heard this.
The fourth master said, “It’s really taken a long time, but it seems like it’s all finally about to pay off. We had to sacrifice so much, but we were able to do it in the end.”
The other three masters nodded in agreement when they heard this, but the second master couldn’t help saying in a snide tone, “If it wasn’t for your daughter and son just now…”
He left his words unfinished, but it was clear what the jab he was making at the fourth master was.
The fourth master narrowed his eyes to look at the second master and it seemed like he was about to finally say something.
But before he could, the third master said, “Enough. That’s enough of your silly feud. You should know how important this is to all of us, so drop it and work together. Don’t make me end it for you.”
Both the second and fourth masters felt chills run down their spines when they heard this.
The first master came forward to mediate as he said, “Alright, let’s not get too agitated over this matter. Let’s all take a step back and calm down. We’ve worked on this matter for this long. Do you really want to ruin it just because you couldn’t calm down in the end?”
All three of them recognized that he was right and their expressions relaxed a bit.
Seeing this, the first master changed the topic by saying to the dark robed figure, “We’ll all be busy on the day that this happens. Can you take care of it on your own?”
The dark robed figure lowered his head and said, “Master, it’s not a problem at all. We know exactly what to do.”
The first master gave a nod of approval before saying with a serious look, “You should know how important this matter is to our Lin Family, so if you make a mistake…”
The dark robed figure immediately lowered his head even more as he said, “Master, please be assured. We have prepared everything, we will not make a mistake.”
The first master didn’t say anything as he kept looking down at the dark robed figure.
But in the end, he gave a nod and waved his hand to dismiss him.
The other masters didn’t say anything, so the dark robed figure quickly left in the passage that he had come from.
When he was gone, the four masters all stood up and looked at each other once before walking out separately.
They knew what they had to do, so they wouldn’t waste any more time.
This matter was something that they had already been planning for a year now. Even though the ruler of the empire had changed, that wouldn’t stop them from putting this plan in action. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by oᴠel ꜰre.nt
This was the biggest risk that their Lin Family had taken in years, so it was important that this all went as planned.
No one could know about this…
It was just too bad that they didn’t know that someone had already found out everything about their plan and was planning on foiling it.
What they didn’t notice was the mosquito that had been on the wall the entire time.
This mosquito hadn’t moved as it just remained on the wall, staring at them as they had their conversation.
It was sending this conversation to somewhere else where a person had heard everything that they had said.
This person revealed a wide smile after he finished listening to them.
“Tomorrow will be an interesting day.”
