?Elder Wang felt another chill run down his spine. The source of this content s Novlꜰre.et
But this time, it was much stronger than any chill that he felt before.
Part of it was because of the fear that he felt towards Lin Fan and part of it was because of the icicle that was in his hand. The chill that was coming from this icicle in his hand was anything but normal.
Elder Wang had a very ugly look on his face, but he still backed down.
He knew that if Lin Fan hadn’t shown mercy, he might have ended up with an icicle inside of his throat.
He knew that he couldn’t let his guard down for even an instant or who knows what would have happened to him.
So he wisely chose to back down.
Lin Fan knew that Elder Wang wouldn’t do anything now, so he turned his attention back to Lin Li Zi.
He found that she now had a sword in her hand and she was walking step by step towards the fourth master.
The fourth master had a calm look on his face at first, but the closer that Lin Li Zi got to him, the more unnerved he began to feel. Finally, when he saw that she was just a few steps aways from him, he finally couldn’t remain silent anymore.
“Lin Li Zi, what do you think you’re doing? I am your father! Your father! You dare do this to me!”
Even though the fourth master tried to say this in a threatening voice, there was no denying the trace of fear that was in his voice.
Though he was certain that with the power of his Lin Family, it would be impossible for this mysterious invader to cause any damage, the problem was that it was hard to predict what Lin Li Zi would do. At this point, it seemed that she had already lost herself to her anger and hatred, so there was no telling what she would do.
So even if the Lin Family would be safe, it would be hard to say the same about his life.
So what if the Lin Family was safe?
If his life couldn’t be preserved, wouldn’t that all be meaningless?
It was important for him to stop Lin Li Zi from doing what it looked like she was planning on doing.
Seeing that she wasn’t stopping, the fourth master finally decided to pull out his final card.
“Your mother, have you thought about your mother?”
The moment that he said this, Lin Li Zi finally stopped.
She stood there in a daze for a moment before looking at her father with a look like she couldn’t believe that he was human.
It was one thing to threaten her and try to use her to hurt Lin Fan.
But now he was even dragging her mother into this?
At the same time though, she finally realized just how he viewed her mother.
She had hoped that her father would at least have some feelings for her mother and that one day things would work out for them, but those hopes had been completely shattered by these words.
Because the moment that he said these words, she realized just what her mother was in the eyes of her father.
A tool, a toy, something that could be thrown away at any time.
When he violated her mother, it had been done because he found her interesting and wanted to play with her. There was no love, there was only lust.
So he naturally didn’t care about her at all.
This man was a beast, no he was even lower than a beast.
At the very least, a beast would know to protect the ones that it slept with, a beast would know to protect its mate and its children.
This man deserved to be sent to the very bottom of hell.
Still, there was a part that she was worried about…
The fourth master’s next words struck the heart of the matter, “Even if you do anything to me today, do you really think the Lin Family will fall? Once he leaves or is defeated by my Lin Family, do you think that you and your mother will be able to survive?”
There was an uncertain look that appeared on Lin Li Zi’s face when she heard this.
Yes…
As long as the Lin Family wasn’t completely destroyed, then there was always the possibility that they would retaliate against her and her mother.
She could accept it if it was just her, but she couldn’t let her mother suffer anymore.
So she was wavering…
The fourth master could naturally see this, so he said, “As long as you let me go and help me take down this intruder, then you and your mother will be welcomed back into the Lin Family. I will even apply to make you a direct descendant and not an illegitimate child. You will enjoy all of the benefits of a direct descendant and your mother will enjoy the benefits of being one of my lawful wives. This is the best outcome for you and your mother.”
Lin Li Zi bit her lip until it started to bleed after hearing this.
There was a very complicated look on her face, one that seemed like she was filled with agony over the choice that she had to make.
This continued for a minute until her expression had cleared up and she revealed a calm look.
When the fourth master saw this, he couldn’t help revealing a faint smile since he figured that Lin Li Zi had thought it through. He thought that he had gotten through to Lin Li Zi, so he would be able to escape this crisis that he was in.
But before he could say anything, Lin Li Zi suddenly turned around to look at Lin Fan.
Seeing this, the fourth master said in an excited voice, “Do it! Stab him!”
However, Lin Li Zi didn’t raise her sword at all as she looked at Lin Fan.
Seeing her be silent like this, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and asked, “Are you going to do it?”
Lin Li Zi didn’t answer this question and instead asked another question in return, “Will you destroy the Lin Family today?”
There was only silence that followed her question.
That was because other than Elder Wang and the fourth master, even Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised by her words.
After all, he never expected her to suddenly come to this decision.
He just looked at her for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter.
Lin Li Zi couldn’t help revealing a worried look when she heard this and she wanted to ask something else.
But Lin Fan suddenly said, “The Lin Family will cease to exist today. I guarantee it.”
Both Elder Wang and the fourth elder revealed shocked looks when they heard this.
After all, neither of them expected this mysterious intruder to say this.
They didn’t even know who this mysterious intruder was, but for him to say this meant that there must be a very serious grudge between him and the Lin Family.
Has the Lin Family offended anyone this deeply in the past few years?
No, they had been laying low, preparing for their plan this entire time. They barely went out, other than the few obligations that they still had and they barely invited others.
So they shouldn’t have had such a grudge with anyone.
Just who was this person that he was so intent on going against their Lin Family?
Lin Li Zi gave a simple nod when she heard this.
When she turned around to face the fourth master again, there was a firm and determined look in her eyes.
Seeing this look, the fourth master couldn’t help feeling that this situation was very bad for him.
He felt like something very dangerous was about to happen, so he said, “What are you doing? Do you not care about your mother anymore?”
But this time, Lin Li Zi didn’t falter.
She walked step by step until she was right in front of the fourth master and then she raised her sword up in front of her.
The fourth master didn’t even need to guess to know what she was planning to do, so he raised his hand and gathered his spiritual energy as if he was planning to stop her.
But he found that there were two more icicles that suddenly came forward that stabbed into his hands.
They scattered his spiritual energy and froze them completely, making him unable to do anything.
The fourth master gritted his teeth to the point where they were about to shatter, but he also gathered his spiritual energy around himself. His last resort was to use his spiritual energy to form a barrier to block Lin Li Zi’s attack.
At the same time, Elder Wang saw this and acted.
He knew that there was no future for him if he allowed the fourth master to be killed in front of him.
So even if it meant risking his life, he had to do something.
But before he could, he found that it was hard to breathe…
When he looked down, he saw that there was an icicle that was piercing through his throat and that he was choking on his own blood.
When he turned to look at Lin Fan, he saw that Lin Fan was saying something.
“Indeed, I could have finished you off at any time, but I wanted you to see the show. Enjoy it when you burn in the flames of hell.”
Elder Wang wasn’t able to say anything as he collapsed to the ground.
On the other side, Lin Li Zi brought the sword that she had been holding up down at the fourth master.
