Lin Fan gave a simple nod without saying anything.
In fact, he even lost his interest in the governor after hearing this.
That was because there was no need for him to care about the governor anymore. It was clear that the governor had understood what he was implying, so there was no need for him to say anything else to the governor.
Instead, Lin Fan turned his attention to the other members of the Lin Family.
They had been cowering on the side since they had no idea what they had been brought here for.
In fact, there were some of them that had been looking for a chance to escape.
It was just that when they found out that the person that came looking for them was the governor, they had no choice but to follow along meekly.
The Lin Family was powerful in this Flowing Water City, but the governor was in charge of the entire Peach Province, so it wasn’t as if they could ignore him.
That made it even more shocking when they saw how the governor acted in front of Lin Fan.
It was almost as if he didn’t dare raise his head in front of this young man.
This was the powerful governor of their Peach Province and he didn’t dare raise his head in front of this seemingly young man.
Just who was this young man?
No, they knew that he was related to the Lin Family in some way since they had heard his introduction just now. It was just that they didn’t know what kind of connection he had to the Lin Family.
Not to mention, they heard him mention something about a new Lin Family…
Lin Fan came up in front of all these relatives that he had never met before…
No, it would be a lie to say that he had never met them before, it was just that they had rarely interacted with each other. He could see a few of them that seemed to have a look of recognition in their eyes, but they held themselves back in the end.
After standing there for a bit, Lin Fan said, “The Lin Family is finished.”
All of them revealed shocked looks on their faces, though some of them recovered quicker than the others since they had already figured this out from the context clues.
Still, that didn’t stop them from being shocked by these words.
They never thought that Lin Fan would say that to their face directly.
There was a long silence that hung in the air as all of them tried to come to terms with their feelings.
To say that they felt anything for the Lin Family was a lie.
The Lin Family was the one that had used them without a care and thrown them away when they were deemed useless. Many of them even had to struggle to survive after being thrown out by the Lin Family.
Not to mention, the ones that were here were not all of the illegitimate children of the Lin Family.
There were others, but they had either gone missing or had simply died because they had been left to fend on their own.
So to say that they had any good feelings for the Lin Family would definitely be a lie.
After letting them come to terms with these feelings for a bit, Lin Fan waved his hand at Lin Li Zi for her to come over. Lin Li Zi came over, but the old master and the third master followed behind her as she came over.
When the Lin Family members saw the old master and the third master, they couldn’t help flinching and taking a step back.
It was clear that they had some form of trauma towards the two of them, but they saw that these two were just silently standing behind Lin Li Zi. As long as they didn’t do anything, there was no need for them to run away yet.
After Lin Li Zi came over, Lin Fan said, “Since the Lin Family has been destroyed, there will be a gap left where the Lin Family used to be. This gap that they create will be too dangerous to leave behind, so I plan on filling this gap with a new Lin Family.”
Gesturing to Lin Li Zi with his hand, Lin Fan said, “She will be the head of the new Lin Family that will be created.”
All of the Lin Family members looked at Lin Li Zi with a strange look.
But there wasn’t a single person that was against the formation of the new Lin Family.
They were smart people, so they knew that they had been called back as the members of the new Lin Family. The Lin Family’s resources were very great, or else they wouldn’t have had the position that they had in Flowing Water City.
There were a few that were rather ambitious that couldn’t accept that Lin Li Zi would be made the new family head, so one of them said, “Why is she the family head? Shouldn’t we decide based on who the eldest is?”
Lin Fan turned to look at that person with a faint smile on his face.
Though that person couldn’t understand why Lin Fan was looking at him with that faint smile, he felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if there was something wrong with this smile that Lin Fan was looking at him with.
Still, he didn’t back down since he didn’t know what was happening.
He believed that as long as he showed that he was strong enough, he would catch the eyes of this person.
After a long silence, Lin Fan raised his hand and said, “Well, then let’s see how strong you are.”
As soon as he raised his hand, the third master suddenly jumped out at this person who spoke.
This person was shocked before saying, “Isn’t this cheating?!”
Lin Fan gave a shrug as he said, “Two here is the new family head’s bodyguard, so is it strange that he’s the one that fights for her?”
At the same time, there were several black clothed figures that came forward to stand behind Lin Li Zi. All of them released their pressure to suppress the one that had spoken, forcing him onto the ground.
As he was slammed into the ground, that person’s eyes rolled back in his sockets and he lost consciousness.
The third master landed right in front of that person and did nothing else.
However, the moment that the third master landed, everyone suddenly took a step back.
They all looked on in shock at the third master who just stood there in front of them without moving. It was almost as if the third master was a puppet as he stood there with that blank expression on his face.
The governor revealed a very bitter look on his face when he saw this.
He knew what Lin Fan was capable of because of his encounter with Lin Fan back in Heavenly Tree City.
It wasn’t strange for Lin Fan to be able to control the old master and the third master.
It was clear that he was using these two to stabilize the Lin Family and then throw them away when the time came.
After a momentary pause, the third master leaned in and picked up that young man off the ground. Then he raised his hand and slapped the young man across the face until he was awake again.
But he didn’t hold back at all, so the young man was knocked out once more.
Again and again, the third master slapped this young man across the face.
One slap to wake him up and one slap to send him back to sleep.
Finally, the third master stopped slapping the young man when he was awakened and dropped him on the ground.
The first thing that the young man did was hold his face as he winced in pain, but then he looked up at Lin Fan with a look of terror.
After all, it didn’t take a fool to realize that the third master had only done that because of Lin Fan’s orders. It seemed that Lin Fan was even more terrifying than they imagined.
Seeing this young man look up at him, Lin Fan asked, “Well, how about now? Do you still have anything to say?”
Another chill ran down the young man’s spine when he heard this before quickly shaking his head.
When Lin Fan had done all of this, what was there for this young man to say?
If he tried anything, he even suspected that Lin Fan might have killed him then and there.
This was someone that disposed of the Lin Family, they had been mistaken in thinking that he was someone that was kind. He was someone that was just as cold and cruel as the Lin Family had once been…
If it wasn’t for the fact that he needed them now, then it would be likely that they wouldn’t have been called back.
So everyone immediately fell silent and had obedient looks on their faces after Lin Fan showed them what for.
Lin Fan saw this and gave a satisfied nod before turning to Lin Li Zi to say, “Alright, it’s up to you to organize them now.”
But as he was about to leave, Lin Li Zi suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this, but Lin Li Zi wouldn’t let go as she suddenly said…
“Let’s talk in private.”
