Looking at Lin Fan's hand that was grabbing his, the younger man went to slap it away, but the moment his hand made contact with Lin Fan's hand, it felt like he was slapping steel.
Lin Fan's eyes turned colder and he began squeezing even harder on the younger man's arm.
The younger man felt the vice like grip around his wrists and he winced in pain. It felt like if this continued, his wrist would be snapped like a twig.
But the older man came forward and also grabbed Lin Fan's wrist. The moment he did, it was like what the younger man had experienced, it felt like he was grabbing a piece of steel.
At this, the older man no longer held himself back and released his full power, releasing white life energy. This older man was actually in the Platinum Realm!
Lin Fan also released his life energy, but before the two sides could clash, Lin Ao suddenly said, "Xiao Fan, stop!"
Lin Fan looked at his father with a confused look, but seeing his firm eyes and him shaking his head, Lin Fan let go of the younger man.
This time when the younger man looked at Lin Fan, his eyes were filled with a trace of vigilance. There was no longer the same look of disdain anymore.
The older man glared at Lin Fan for a bit before suddenly revealing a smile, "Little nephew Lin, you really are more talented than we thought. I am your uncle Lin Yu and this is your cousin Lin Jun. We are here on behalf of the Lin Family to bring you back to the family for training."
Lin Fan's eyes turned cold at this.
From the beginning, these two had been looking down on his father, so it was clear that they were here with unkind intentions.
If he went with them, he might lose his entire family by the time he came back…
Lin Fan's mind turned for a bit before he said, "Then I want to bring my family back with me, after all, they also belong to the Lin Family."
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed as he turned back to Lin Ao, specifically looking at his knee before saying in a cold voice, "Unfortunately, the family has only given permission for us to bring you back with us. As for exiled trash like your father, he has no right to ever come back to the family after what he has done."
Lin Fan shook his head, "Without my family, I couldn't possibly think of leaving for an unknown place."
Lin Yu's eyes turned colder, "Unknown place? Little nephew Lin, we are also your family, rather your rightful family. Someone as talented as you isn't suited for a lowly place like this, stuck taking care of your trash father."
Lin Fan calmly said, "One side is a family that I've never even heard of to this day and the other side is the family that has raised me, I think it's clear which one is my rightful family. Moreover, is my father someone who you can call trash again and again?"
At this point, Lin Yu knew that he was just playing with him, so there was a trace of anger that flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed himself down, "Little nephew Lin, I don't think you understand what you are turning down. What you are coming back to is one of the rulers of the human world, a Legendary Realm Family. We are one of the most influential families in the world and with the resources at our disposal, you will have the greatest opportunity to reach the Legendary Realm, or even go beyond that!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes at this moment, "Is that so? Then can you tell me if you can represent the Lin Family or not?"
Lin Yu flinched at this since Lin Fan had hit the nail on the head.
That was right, Lin Yu couldn't make a decision for the Lin Family, the Lin Family didn't even know he was doing this.
He had been passing by this low ranked city with his son on a mission when he had heard the news of a royal family being destroyed. Normally he wouldn't care about this, but when he heard the name Lin Fan, he couldn't help being curious.
To his surprise, he found that this Lin Fan was actually the son of Lin Ao, the disgrace of the Lin Family who had been exiled all those years ago!
Blood truly showed that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, this talent that Lin Fan had even surpassed the talent Lin Ao had shown in the past!
As long as he was able to bring this Lin Fan back to the Lin Family with him, he would definitely receive focused training and Lin Yu would receive a high position for bringing him back. If Lin Fan took over the Lin Family one day, he would remember Lin Yu for bringing him back and that would be Lin Yu's ticket to the top.
Lin Yu said after a slight pause, "Of course I can represent the Lin Family, I am one of the recognized main family members, unlike your father here who was exiled. That is the reason why I can call him trash."
Lin Fan could guess most of why Lin Yu was here, but he didn't expose him just yet. He had insulted his family, clearly he had to suffer a bit first.
Lin Fan just revealed a smile and came closer to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu thought that this was a good sign, but the next words crushed all his hopes.
"Then what will you do if I say no?"
Lin Yu flew into a rage and wanted to threaten Lin Fan, but before he could, Lin Fan had already condensed his law gauntlet and had landed a punch right to Lin Yu's chest.
Lin Yu found that he actually couldn't take this hit at all and was sent flying towards the door of the shop, but before he could crash through that glass door, there was an invisible force that he bounced off of. The force was like an invisible wall that he slammed into, doubling the force that he was hit with.
Lin Yu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground. He found that after being hit, he couldn't muster up any strength at all.
He looked at the door in shock before looking up at Lin Fan in fear. They were both in the Platinum Realm, yet he found that he couldn't block Lin Fan's hit at all. This truly was a monster!
As Lin Fan moved closer to him, Lin Yu said in a panic, "Do you dare do this! I am from the Lin Family, we are a true Legendary Realm Family, it isn't something remnants like the Feng Family can compare to! If you dare do anything to me, you can be sure that the wrath of the Lin Family will wipe you off the face of this earth!"
Even if he had wanted to recruit Lin Fan before, it didn't matter now that Lin Fan was trying to kill him. The only thing Lin Yu was thinking was how to survive, that was what growing up in a Legendary Realm Family had taught him. He was tough on the surface, but he caved faster than anyone in the face of true death. He didn't care what he had to do, as long as he was able to survive, he would do anything.
Right before Lin Fan was about to end Lin Yu, Lin Ao suddenly shouted, "Xiao Fan, that's enough."
Lin Fan turned with deeply knitted brows and said, "But dad, if we let him go…"
But before he could finish, Lin Ao stood up and said with a stern look, "No matter what, he is family in the end. We don't treat family like this."
Then Lin Ao limped over with his bad leg and offered his hand to Lin Yu, which was subsequently slapped away by Lin Yu as he said, "Don't touch me trash." Then he turned back to Lin Fan and said, "You will rue this day, you hear me?"
Lin Fan's face turned dark and he was prepared to move forward again, but Lin Yu quickly got to his feet and ran out of the store, not even turning back once.
Lin Fan gave a sigh before turning to his father, "Dad, you know the consequences of letting him leave."
Lin Ao shook his head, "No matter what, he is family and family should stick together. But Xiao Fan, you could have gone with him, you know that right? It's true that the Lin Family would be much better for you than staying here."
Lin Fan just revealed a faint smile, "Dad, you and I both know what his plans were. Besides, staying here is definitely better for me."
Lin Ao nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, you are a man now and you can decide your own life."
At this, Lin Fan suddenly heard a notification from the system.
"Congratulations host, you have finished the tutorial."
