When morning came, Lin Fan woke up bright and early.
Today was the day that he would finally take care of the Lin Family, so he couldn't let himself sleep for too long.
There were still many things that he had to take care of before heading to the Lin Family.
First, he headed to the outskirts of the city.
When he came to this place, he found a few people waiting there for him.
These were the puppets that the Control Toad had been controlling this entire time.
When he arrived, he looked at them and simply asked, "Is everything taken care of?"
The puppets just gave nods to show that everything had been taken care of, but there were a few that gave detailed reports in the end.
After hearing these reports, Lin Fan just gave nods and said, "Good. Go and make sure that nothing goes wrong."
The puppets bowed to him and then disappeared from this place.
Lin Fan also didn't waste any time as he headed back to the city.
He was going to pick someone up before he headed to the Lin Family.
But there was a problem that came before he could get that someone.
When he arrived near that person's residence, there was a group that suddenly came forward to stop him.
Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this group because he recognized them.
It was Lin Yu's group that he had met yesterday.
But today, they had a completely different feel about them.
Instead of having the same hostile looks that they had yesterday, they looked like they wanted to become friends with him as they walked over.
They didn't surround him and just stood a meter away with respectful looks on their face.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at them before saying, "What do you want?"
Lin Yu just said with a smile, "I just want to talk. We got off on the wrong foot yesterday, so I wanted to have a little talk so we could resolve that misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble, I simply want to talk."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this, but then he said, "Alright, speak."
Lin Yu's smile became wider as he said, "This brother, we were mistakenly pitted against each other because of that piece of trash yesterday. I don't know how she managed to convince you to help her, but there's nothing to gain from associating with trash like that."
Lin Fan didn't say anything, but the look on his face didn't look good.
Lin Yu could see that, but he didn't mind since he had already expected this.
Instead, he just waved his hand and there were two beauties that suddenly came up from behind him. Then with another wave of his hand, the two of them started moving towards Lin Fan.
While they went over, he said, "This brother, I know that she looks good, but she isn't someone that is worthy of someone like you. Someone like you should only have the most beautiful women by your side, so I took it upon myself to find some for you."
Lin Fan didn't say anything, but he did raise a brow as he looked at these two girls.
There was no doubt that their beauty was on the same level as Lin Li Zi.
In some parts, they even surpassed her.
When Lin Yu saw this raised brow, he quickly said, "Other than that, someone at your level should be flushed with riches and such. Associating with someone of her level will never help you with such things."
After that, he carefully looked at Lin Fan as if he was judging his reaction.
Seeing that Lin Fan didn't have a negative reaction, Lin Yu continued by saying, "I don't know what lies that piece of trash has fed you, but she's nothing more than an abandoned child of our Lin Family. Whereas I am a legitimate member of the Lin Family and someone that has the right to use the resources of the Lin Family."
He waved his hand again and one of his followers came forward to offer something to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked down to see that it was a Storage Ring that was being offered to him.
He casually reached out and took it to find that it was filled with over a thousand gold coins and even ten spirit stones.
Seeing Lin Fan take this, Lin Yu said, "This is just a small meeting gift. There will be more that comes as long as you become friends with me."
His smile became more confident as he said, "This brother, how about coming back to the Lin Family manor with me?"
The way that he looked, it seemed like he was confident that his proposal wouldn't be rejected.
Though if one thought about it, this wasn't really blind confidence.
After all, for a B Ranked Mercenary, this wasn't a small enticement.
If only Lin Fan was actually a B Ranked Mercenary.
Lin Fan just narrowed his eyes to look at the two girls by his side and then he looked at Lin Yu standing there.
Before he could say anything though, Lin Li Zi suddenly came out of her house and came over to where Lin Fan was.
She looked at him with a concerned look for a bit before saying, "You should probably go with him. I wouldn't blame you if you did."
Lin Fan couldn't help raising a brow in surprise when he heard this.
He just carefully looked at her for a bit before revealing a smile.
He had expected her to tell him not to go, but it seemed like he was wrong and he was happy that he was wrong.
That meant that he had underestimated Lin Li Zi.
Underestimating her was a good thing for him.
Objectively speaking, she was right that he should go with Lin Yu to the Lin Family Manor. If he didn't, it would have ended very poorly for him as a B Ranked Mercenary.
But once again, he wasn't actually a B Ranked Mercenary.
So he wasn't scared of the Lin Family in the first place.
Lin Yu was also surprised to hear Lin Li Zi say this, but he didn't miss this opportunity.
Since Lin Li Zi was even telling him to go, he would use this.
Lin Yu said with a friendly smile, "This brother, you see? She doesn't care about you, you should come with me to the Lin Family Manor."
Lin Fan just ignored him and kept looking at Lin Li Zi.
Lin Li Zi couldn't help feeling a bit flustered seeing him look at her like this, but she still looked back into his eyes with a firm look. It was as if she was afraid that if she showed even the slightest hesitation, he would choose to stay with her.
She knew that this wouldn't be good for him…even if her heart was telling her that she should just say it.
Lin Fan suddenly revealed a smile and calmly said, "Do you want to come to the Lin Family Manor with me?"
Everyone revealed a shocked look when they heard this before quickly revealing different expressions.
Lin Li Zi had a look of worry on her face.
Lin Yu deeply knitted his brows before saying. "This brother, we were only inviting you and not this piece of…"
Before he could finish, Lin Yu and his men, as well as the two beauties suddenly fell to the ground.
They all had shocked looks on their faces as they were flattened into the ground.
Lin Yu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he found that he wasn't able to say a single word. It was as if every function of his body was currently being suppressed by the pressure that was falling onto him.
The only thing that he was allowed to do was just lay there on the ground.
But he couldn't understand what had happened.
As far as he could tell, there wasn't a single thing that he had done wrong.
He had made sure to show the power of his Lin Family by bringing both beauties and wealth. He had also shown the power of his Lin Family when even Lin Li Zi had told Lin Fan to go with him.
So why did he suddenly attack them like this?
Lin Yu could only look up with that confused face as he waited to see what Lin Fan would do.
Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan with a shocked, confused, and worried look.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't do this. The Lin Family isn't something that you can go against. He might seem weak, but the Lin Family has many powerful experts…"
Lin Fan didn't care about this as he pointed at Lin Yu on the ground and asked, "Do you think that someone like this deserves to live?"
Lin Yu's face filled with absolute shock when he heard this.
He even had to take a moment to check if his ears were working properly since he couldn't believe that Lin Fan would actually say something like that.
Lin Li Zi was the same as she looked up at Lin Fan in disbelief.
She slowly shook her head in the end and said, "Don't say that out loud or else…"
Lin Fan cut her off once again as he said, "Do you think that the Lin Family should exist?"
This time, there was no going back on his words.
He was challenging the entire Lin Family this time.
