Chapter 696 Failed Ambush

The ice spread all over him, but unlike the other two ice sculptures, the ice didn't go all the way to his head.

The ice went all the way up to his neck before suddenly stopping, leaving his head free.

The leader of the attackers looked at Lin Fan with a shocked gaze as he felt the aura coming from him. He said in a stunned voice, "You're not in the Embryo Soul Realm, you're in the Child Soul Realm! How did you hide your cultivation from me?"

The leader of the attackers was actually in the Mid Embryo Soul Realm, much stronger than the rest of the attackers, but he was still dealt with easily by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan just ignored him and turned his attention to the rest of the cloaked attackers.

When they saw that their leader had been frozen so easily, they knew that this mission was a failure and the only thought that they had left was to escape.

But before they could even move a muscle, there were beasts that suddenly appeared out of thin air behind them. There was one beast behind each of them.

They all tried to resist, but they found that these beasts weren't weaker than them at all. In fact, each of these beasts were in the Child Soul Realm and commanded laws at the same level as them, but they couldn't resist at all.

Without any hesitation, all twenty of the attackers had been caught just like this.

Other than the three that were frozen, all the others had been knocked out.

After taking care of these people, Lin Fan turned his attention back to the leader of this group who had been shouting at Lin Fan. However, when the leader saw all the members of his group being knocked out and Lin Fan turning to look at him, he immediately fell silent and revealed a cautious look.

He still didn't have any idea of what went wrong or what intentions Lin Fan had, so he knew that if he said anything recklessly, he would be the one that suffered. The best thing that he could do was wait until Lin Fan made his intentions clear and then played along with him until he saw a chance to escape.

After all, there wasn't much that he could do while he was frozen like this.

p So the leader of the attackers waited for Lin Fan to speak first.

It was just too bad that there was a flaw in his plan.

Lin Fan just stood in front of the leader, looking at him without saying a thing.

There was an awkward silence that filled the air as both sides just stood…waited there in silence.

In the end, it was the leader that felt more pressure than Lin Fan and he couldn't help starting to panic as he saw Lin Fan's cold eyes looking at him.

What was going on here?

Could it be that he already knew who sent him and he was just waiting for something to happen?

If that was the case, then there would be no chance of him being able to escape.

As the silence dragged on, the leader finally couldn't take it anymore as he said, "Is there any way that we can make a deal here? If you let me go, I can give you whatever you want."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at him before he shook his head and gave a sigh.

The leader's face turned red when he saw this, but he held back the rage that burned in his heart as he waited for Lin Fan to respond.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "Do you work for the Ying Family?"

The leader revealed a bitter smile and said, "Is that really something you need to ask?"

Lin Fan just calmly said with a shrug, "That depends on if you want to live."

When he heard these words, the leader felt a chill run down his back. He could tell that this young man in front of him wasn't joking. This was a killing intent that even he who was a part of the assassin team didn't have.

He knew that if Lin Fan wanted, his life would be taken away in an instant.

Knowing this made him much more honest as he gave a nod and said, "Yes."

Lin Fan then asked, "Your target was our little fatty?"

Mo Ze Chen's face was filled with grievances when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The leader looked at Mo Ze Chen before giving a nod and saying, "Yes."

Lin Fan just gave a nod at this and then said, "Very good."

But then he didn't ask any further questions as he turned around to look at the other unconscious people on the ground.

When the leader saw this, there was a bad premonition that appeared in his heart. He knew that unless he said something, something bad would happen to him.

So he steeled his heart and said, "As long as you spare me, I'll tell you everything you want about the Ying Family! I know many of the dirty things that they've done, it will be more than enough for you to go to the Hunters Organization with! The only thing I want is my safety guaran…"

But before he could finish, he found that the ice that was at his neck was already creeping up towards his head.

The leader immediately roared out, "You're wasting a golden opportunity here if you kill…"

But once again, he didn't get to finish as the ice had already covered his head.

Then under the ice, his eyes that had been filled with light gradually dimmed until they completely turned dark. There wasn't a single sign of life left with this man as he had been turned into a corpse by the ice.

After taking care of the leader, Lin Fan looked at the other bodies on the ground.

After a slight pause, Lin Fan had Brainy bring out several beasts and then he gave these beasts some orders.

Once they had received their orders, the beasts picked up the unconscious people on the ground and the ice sculptures.

Lin Fan released his laws to cover up these beasts so they would be able to hide and then he sent them off. Since they had already received their orders, the beasts didn't hesitate as they flew off into the dark night.

Once the beasts were gone, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help asking, "Boss, was it alright to do that? Won't this force the Ying Family's hand?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said, "Where do you think that I'm sending those people off to? Did you forget about the other identity that you have?"

Mo Ze Chen revealed a confused look as he asked, "Other identity? What other identity?"

Lin Fan said with the same smile, "You are someone with a Hunter License from the Hunters Organization and someone who has reached the finals of the tournament, so you could be considered one of the top talents of the Hunters Organization. If the Ying Family were to target someone like you, wouldn't that be considered making a move against the Hunters Organization?"

Mo Ze Chen slowly revealed a look of understanding as he said, "Then you mean…"

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "I've sent all the evidence that they need to the people who will take care of this." After he gave a pause, he said with a sigh, "It really is much easier to handle things like this when you belong to a large organization."

Mo Ze Chen revealed a bitter smile when he heard Lin Fan say this.

In his heart, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the "people who would take care of this".

Since they had already taken care of matters here, there was no need for them to stay here any longer.

So their group quickly made their way through the quiet streets of Harmony City before arriving back at the pet shop.

Once they arrived, the first thing that Angela did was grab Mo Ze Chen by the back of his collar. With a bitter look on his face, Mo Ze Chen was dragged away to the arena for more "training".

Lulu followed out of worry for Mo Ze Chen and Yuki followed to watch the fun.

Lin Fan was about to check the stock of the store for tomorrow, but before he could go in the store, there was a call from his watch.

He looked down and when he saw who it was from, he revealed a faint smile.

He just let it ring for a bit before picking it up and asked, "How can I help you?"

There was Qiao Yi Fei's voice that came out of the watch as she shouted, "You! What did you do this time!"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "I'm leaving the cleanup to you, isn't that normal?"

Qiao Yi Fei was about to say something, but when she heard what Lin Fan said, she immediately swallowed her words.

This was technically part of the plan that they came up with.

She had been keeping tabs on Mo Ze Chen and she was surprised to see how well he was doing. However, the way he was winning the matches…

Qiao Yi Fei then changed her tone and asked, "How certain are you that he'll be able to win?"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "You've already seen how strong he is, he still has the trump cards that I gave him."

Qiao Yi Fei said in a surprised voice, "That isn't his only trump card?"

Lin Fan didn't deem it necessary to give a response to this.

Qiao Yi Fei was silent for a bit before saying, "Alright, we'll deal with this. You just keep your promise."

Lin Fan didn't even get to say anything before Qiao Yi Fei had already hung up.
