With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The village chief knew that this wasn't a good situation for him, so without even thinking about it, he started looking around the cellar for any paths to escape by.

However, this was a cellar that was deep underground and other than the stairs, there wasn't another path out of this place.

So no matter where he ran, unless he was able to smash the layer of ice in front of these stairs, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Still, the one thing that he couldn't do was just stand here in front of the ice, in front of Lin Fan and that dragon. If he just remained here, it would be certain death since he wouldn't be able to fight back.

So without hesitation, he started running for one of the barrels beside him.

His plan was to push that barrel in Lin Fan and the dragon's direction to distract them before hiding himself in this cellar. Once he was hidden, he would try to figure out another plan to escape.

But it was just too bad that Lin Fan and Hayase didn't give him that chance.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "Drown him."

Hayase gave a nod before condensing a ball of water that he sent out at the village chief. The ball of water accurately flew right at the village chief and landed on his head, completely surrounding it.

The village chief started to panic when the ball of water covered his face, but that was just the start. As he realized that he was being drowned by that ball of water, he tried clawing at it, he tried hitting it, he tried flailing his head around to throw it off, he tried all kinds of different methods, but he couldn't get it off his head.

He found that his breath was slowly leaving him and his vision was getting more and more blurry.

Soon, he was only filled with the regret of doing what he had done, but it was already too late as his vision completely turned to black.

Even after the village chief collapsed to the ground, the bubble of water didn't disappear as his body was still twitching. Only when his body had completely stopped twitching did Lin Fan give a nod to Hayase to release the bubble of water.

For these people who treated others like this, there was no need for him to show any mercy. In fact, if he showed mercy to these people, the one to suffer next would be him and the people that he cared about.

So he would make sure to stomp out these people like the bugs that they were.

After taking care of the village chief, Lin Fan immediately left the house after gathering all the materials that he thought was necessary. He just put them all in the Pet Storage Space before heading out the second floor window like he had entered from.

The streets of this village were still silent, but he could hear noise coming from one place. The only bar of the village.

The boss had brought his men over to the bar earlier and even now, they were still partying it up.

Lin Fan's next target was that place, but before he could take them out, he wanted to make sure that he wasn't leaving any loose ends in the village. He had Greeny check the rest of the village with its mosquito puppets and after making sure that there was no one else from the bandit group left, he headed to the bar.

As for the village chief's house, he had wanted to burn it and everything that was inside down, but that would attract too much attention. So for now, he had to just endure it and suppress the urge to set this place ablaze.

He would leave it alone for a few more hours.

After that, this place and everything that happened here would be turned to ashes.

So with this thought in mind, Lin Fan turned his attention to the brightly lit bar that was at the center of the town.

Along the way, he met up with Lala and Xiao Yue who had come to find him after taking care of their tasks.

Behind them were the people who had been forced to follow the rules of the bandits who he had the two of them rescue.

They were clearly afraid based on how they were acting, but Lin Fan looked at them with a cold glare and said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to fight for your freedom or do you want to spend the rest of your life cowering?"

As if to prove his point, they immediately started cowering under the pressure that he put on them.

Lin Fan wanted to shake his head when he saw this, but he just maintained that cold and firm look on his face.

After a moment of silence, one of the men from this group slowly came forward and said, "But what can we do? They're much stronger and you should have seen how ruthless they are. If we try to resist, they will hurt our families."

Lin Fan looked at this person and then said, "They haven't hurt your families now?"

This man wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them. He just looked at Lin Fan for a bit before swallowing the words and lowering his head again.

Lin Fan then turned to the rest of them and said, "I'm giving you the chance to stand up for yourselves, will you take that chance?"

The people looked at each other before lowering their heads, as if they didn't dare look up at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan gave up at this point, but before he could say his next words, there was someone that suddenly stood up in front of him.

It was a little boy who came out of the crowd.

He stood right in front of everyone and faced Lin Fan to say, "I'll do it! I'll fight them!"

Lin Fan and the crowd of people were all surprised to see this little boy stand out, but then his mother quickly came forward to grab him and say, "What are you saying? This foolish boy! How could you even think of that after everything that happened?"

But the boy resisted and said, "I won't let them take you away like they took big sister away. Even dad was killed by them! I can't just let them get away with this!"

As he said this, there was a complicated look that passed through the eyes of everyone in the crowd.

It wasn't just this little boy who had lost a family member, all of them had lost a family member or multiple family members at the hands of these bandits. But this was a world where the strong reigned and they knew that they would never be able to win against the bandits, so they had suppressed all their feelings and their pride to live.

However, even this little boy was willing to fight for what he believed in. As adults, how could they not feel ashamed after seeing this?

This feeling of shame began to grow inside of them, growing until it became unbearable…

Finally, one of the men of the group took the lead by picking up a pitchfork from the side of the road and lifted it up to say, "I'll fight for my home and my family!"

It was like a spark had been lit under them.

As soon as this first person spoke, the rest of them looked at each other before they started picking up weapons from all around them as well.

The feelings of rebellion filled the crowd and soon they were chanting as if they were ready to fight at any moment.

Lin Fan didn't know what would happen, but he had made sure that they were far enough from the bar that no one would hear any of this. However, seeing this, he couldn't help revealing a smile.

This was what he had wanted to see in this group.

After all, he didn't have any plans on staying in this village after he took care of these bandits, but he knew that if he finished off the bandits and then left the village as it was, it was very likely that the same thing would happen again.

So he chose to use this method to give the people of the village a backbone, so they could stand up for themselves in the future.

This was the last kindness that he would give them.

Seeing that they were ready, Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "Then let's go."

The men of the village looked at Lin Fan and looked at each other before gathering up behind him with their weapons raised.

As for the women and children, they stayed on the side with Xiao Yue and Lala, watching the men head off with Lin Fan.

However, the men were still a bit worried.

Even if Lin Fan was there with them, they didn't believe that he would be able to take care of all the bandits on his own. Or at least, they didn't believe that he would be able to take care of the boss.

The cruelty that the boss had displayed had left a mark on their hearts that caused instinctive fear to fill them whenever they even thought about the boss.

So as they got closer and closer to the bar, they couldn't help feeling more and more nervous.

One of the leaders of these men came forward and asked Lin Fan, "Sir mercenary, are you sure that we can do this? Those bandits might be evil, but they are also strong…Can we really fight against them?"

Lin Fan just revealed a smile and said, "It's not a problem."

Before the men could say anything else, Lin Fan suddenly released something from his Pet Storage Space.
