?There was only silence that followed as everyone looked up at Lin Fan in shock.
Lin Yu and his followers had looks of utter disbelief on their faces when they heard this.
After all, not a single one of them thought that this B Ranked Mercenary would actually dare challenge the entire Lin Family. Not to mention, it didn’t seem like there was a reason for this B Ranked Mercenary to challenge the Lin Family.
The investigation that they had done on this person showed that he was someone who just wandered around from city to city, taking various jobs and moving on. He was the very model of a normal mercenary that didn’t show any connections to the Lin Family.
So why was he talking about taking down the Lin Family now?
Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan with a very confused, shocked, and worried look, but there was a faint sparkle that was in her eyes.
After all, this was something that she had dreamed of before…but she had never had the courage to actually think about it.
Yet now there was someone offering this to her, her wildest dream.
But Lin Li Zi didn’t have the courage to take this offer.
She shook her head and said, “You shouldn’t say things like this. The Lin Family is not as simple as you think they are. You should leave this city as soon as you can now that you’ve said this.”
The way that she said this made it clear that she was concerned about Lin Fan, but Lin Fan just shook his head and gave a sigh.
Seeing this, Lin Li Zi couldn’t help feeling very strange, but she still stuck to what she said.
Lin Fan looked at Lin Yu and pointed at him to say, “Kill him. Go on, do it.”
Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan in shock.
It wasn’t just Lin Li Zi who looked at Lin Fan in shock, even Lin Yu and his followers laying on the ground all looked at Lin Fan in shock as if they couldn’t believe what he had just said.
Lin Li Zi slowly shook her head and said, “Please don’t make this worse for yourself. You don’t know what you’re getting into.”
Lin Fan gave a sigh before raising his hand in front of Lin Li Zi.
When he did, Lin Li Zi’s face suddenly twisted as a look of pain appeared on her face.
She looked at him with another shocked look as she couldn’t understand what was happening.
Lin Fan just calmly said, “Do you remember the thing that I made you eat yesterday?”
Lin Li Zi couldn’t help feeling a chill run down her spine when she heard this, but she still gave a slow nod.
Lin Fan also gave a nod before saying, “That was a poison worm. I can freely control it while it is inside of you. As long as I want it to detonate, you will die an excruciating pain right away.”
The shock on Lin Li Zi’s face became even deeper as she looked at Lin Fan.
At the same time, her hands couldn’t help coming to her chest, as if she wanted to grab the black worm from inside of her body. But of course, that wasn’t possible.
So all she could do was wait to see what Lin Fan wanted for her.
Lin Fan saw the slow look of acceptance on Lin Li Zi’s face and said, “Go on, kill him. As long as you kill him, then I won’t do anything to you.”
Lin Li Zi slowly turned to look at Lin Yu on the ground with a very complicated look on her face.
While this was happening, Lin Yu could feel the pressure that was on him becoming weaker.
It had weakened to the point where he was able to look up and say something.
So he looked at Lin Li Zi and said, “Don’t do this. You know what will happen to you if you dare to do anything to me in this city. If you go against the Lin Family, then you know what will happen to you and your mother.”
When he said this, Lin Li Zi revealed a strange look.
In the end, instead of convincing her not to do it, he actually convinced her to pull out her weapon and debate it.
After all, Lin Li Zi was able to understand the meaning behind his threat.
Plain and simple, he was saying, “Do you want anything to happen to your mother and you? If not, then you should listen to me.”
Though the fact that he mentioned her mother made it clear what he was planning to do later.
It was very likely that he would be holding a grudge against Lin Li Zi for even bringing Lin Fan into the city in the first place.
So once Lin Fan was dealt with, there was no doubt that Lin Li Zi and her mother would also be dealt with.
As soon as Lin Li Zi realized this, she knew that she had no other choice…
If she didn’t take care of Lin Yu now, then there would be no chance of her escaping this predicament.
There was a part of her that wanted to curse Lin Fan for getting her into this predicament in the first place, but that part of her quickly caved. After all, if it wasn’t for Lin Fan’s help, then perhaps her mother would have died already.
She had no right to curse him.
Seeing the way that Lin Li Zi was looking at him, Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
He could tell that this situation wasn’t normal.
He could tell that Lin Li Zi seemed to be having some dangerous thoughts…
So he said, “Whatever you are thinking, stop. You should know what kind of power the Lin Family has, do you really think that he will be able to stop the Lin Family? When the time comes, your consequences will be worse than anything that you can imagine.”
This did shake Lin Li Zi a bit, but it also put pressure on her.
She knew that the longer she took to finish this, the less time that they would have to deal with this matter.
So it was better if she made her decision quickly.
Lin Li Zi couldn’t help looking back at Lin Fan once more, but Lin Fan just calmly looked at her as if he was waiting for her to make a decision.
In the end, Lin Li Zi decided…
She walked over to Lin Yu on the ground and raised her sword above his head. ꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs, ᴘʟᴀs ᴠsᴛ oᴠel ꜰre.nt
When Lin Yu saw this, his eyes filled with panic.
He knew that it was impossible to talk Lin Li Zi out of this, so instead…he turned to look at Lin Fan to convince him to stop Lin Li Zi, but Lin Fan didn’t even bother looking at him.
Lin Fan had been looking at Lin Li Zi the entire time, as if he was just waiting for her.
Lin Li Zi finally stopped hesitating and brought the blade over Lin Yu’s neck.
Lin Yu could only tremble on the ground and couldn’t move at all as Lin Li Zi did this.
He finally had no choice but to put down his pride and act humbly.
After all, the alternative to this was death…
So he said, “Please, let me go. I promise that I won’t do a single thing to you and I’ll even talk to the elders of my family so they let you go. I promise that as long as you let me go, you will never hear from the Lin Family again.”
Lin Li Zi’s hands holding the sword trembled when she heard this.
This…she really couldn’t help being moved when she heard this.
But Lin Fan immediately said, “He’s just desperate. Do it.”
Lin Yu’s face twisted when he heard this as he didn’t expect to be exposed like this.
But then he said, “No, I promise on my life. As long as you spare me, I’ll even sign a soul vow that I won’t do anything to you.”
A soul vow, that was a binding vow that when broken would invoke heavenly punishment. As long as a soul vow was used, there would be no way for Lin Yu to break his promise.
However, Lin Yu was smart and he knew that there were loopholes to a soul vow.
Lin Fan just gave a sigh and squeezed his hand.
When he did, there was a tinge of pain that came from Lin Li Zi’s chest.
She bit her lip as she looked at him and Lin Fan just calmly said, “Your life or his.”
Lin Li Zi knew that there was no other choice, so she brought her sword down.
Before Lin Yu could say anything else, the sword cut right through his neck and lopped his head off. He wasn’t able to resist at all as the sword cut right through his neck and even his face had a look of disbelief as he couldn’t believe that she would actually do it.
“Now the rest.” Lin Fan calmly said.
Lin Li Zi turned to the followers that were still being pressed on the ground.
They had all been in shock at the fact that Lin Li Zi had actually killed Lin Yu, but seeing her look at them like this, they began begging for their lives.
They knew that this was the only chance that they would have of living.
But…Lin Li Zi didn’t care.
She had already killed Lin Yu, so there was no way out for her.
So she could only walk this path to the end.
