Seeing the defiant look on Duanmu Hua Yu's face, the large man was about to raise his hand to punch him again. However, before he could punch him, there was a hand that suddenly grabbed him out of nowhere.
During this entire time, Lin Fan had hidden himself with his laws and had been observing the situation, so these large men didn't even know that he was there.
But now that he had suddenly grabbed this large man's hand, naturally he revealed himself.
The large men were all caught off guard by Lin Fan's sudden appearance, but they didn't show any fear.
Of course, that was mainly because they could sense the weak aura coming from Lin Fan. Once they felt that they were stronger than him, they were filled with confidence once again.
It was just a shame that this was a cover that Lin Fan had put on to make them let their guards down.
The large man whose hand was grabbed looked at Lin Fan with a fierce smile and asked, "Little friend, are you trying to play hero? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
Even if the large man felt confident after sensing Lin Fan's aura, he couldn't help feeling a bit unsettled since there was something that he still couldn't explain. Just how had Lin Fan snuck up on him without him being able to detect it?
This kid had just appeared out of nowhere and not a single person had sensed his appearance…
Lin Fan just revealed a smile and said, "I think it's about time to end this, don't you?"
The large man couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine when he heard this. However, since he was in front of his men, it wasn't as if he could back down in front of a kid. So he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?" Then he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"
Lin Fan just used more force in the hand that was holding the arm of the large man.
The large man felt the pressure coming from his hand and he couldn't help letting out a loud cry since it was just too much for him to take.
When the other large men saw this, they all made their way forward to help him, but before they could react, Lin Fan already twisted the army that he was holding. Then in one swift move, he lifted the large man off the ground and swung him around a few times.
He swung him in a deliberate manner so that all the other men grouped up together to avoid being hit by him. They were grouped up right in front of the open doorway.
Then once they were all gathered there, Lin Fan released the arm he was holding.
The large man flew in the air in a perfect arc before hitting all the other men grouped there. Once he hit them, they were all caught up by the momentum and were sent flying.
All of them were thrown right out of the door and landed in a pile in the hallway outside the apartment.
The large men all looked at each other in blank dismay as they couldn't understand what had just happened.
The man who had been grabbed was the largest one among them and the heaviest, but Lin Fan had lifted him like he weighed nothing and had even swung him around like a toy.
Where in that tiny body was he hiding all that power?
But Lin Fan wasn't done with them just yet.
He walked out from the apartment and stood in front of them, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing him just standing there…menacingly, the large men felt a shiver run down their backs. They all turned to their leader with looks asking for help.
The leader was naturally also afraid of Lin Fan, but with how his subordinates were looking at him, he had to stand up for them as their leader. So he stood up in front of them and stared Lin Fan down as he said, "What do you want?"
With a single flick of his hand, Lin Fan sent the leader to the ground again and this time, he pulled out a sword that he placed at his neck. In an ice cold voice, he said, "Take me to your leader."
This voice was like the voice of death for these people.
When faced with this, they had no choice but to comply. However, that didn't mean that they would comply that easily.
The leader put on a strong look as he said, "Do you really think that you can deal with our leader? If you really think so, then I'm happy to lead you to your death."
Lin Fan just gave a shrug and said, "Say what you want. I don't care as long as you lead the way." After saying this, he lowered his sword and gestured for them to lead the way to their hideout.
As they were about to leave though, Duanmu Hua Yu couldn't help following them. He gestured to Lin Fan that this was his own problem and he should deal with it himself, but Lin Fan wouldn't listen to him.
Of course, he wouldn't let Duanmu Hua Yu take away his reason to destroy this group of loan sharks. But he did let them come along since he was confident that he would be able to protect them.
Not to mention, he would feel assured just leaving them here alone.
So the best choice was to bring them along as he charged into the enemy lair.
The loan shark thugs didn't waste any time leading Lin Fan back to their base.
They knew that they wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Fan, but that didn't mean that their boss wouldn't be able to. So they were very confident as they brought him back to their base.
During this time, Lin Fan learned the reason why Duanmu Hua Yu even had a debt with these people in the first place.
It was all because of Min'er.
A year ago, Min'er suddenly became very sick and Duanmu Hua Yu wasn't able to afford the medicine to cure her. The medicine that could cure her could be bought in the city, but it cost a very high price.
It was a price that he definitely couldn't afford with the amount of money that he was making, so he had no choice but to get a loan from the boss that these thugs worked for.
Even if the interest was insanely high, he had no choice but to accept since it was Min'er's life that was in danger.
Over the past year, he had been slowly paying it off, but that had changed recently. He didn't know why it had suddenly changed, but the interest payments had suddenly jumped up to more than ten times what they were before.
Naturally, he wasn't able to pay them and this was what led to the current situation.
Still, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking why he didn't just use his cultivation to solve this problem.
After all, even if he couldn't take care of the loan shark, he could at least get a job that was more suited for his level of cultivation. It would allow him to earn much more compared to before and it would be easy for him to pay off this debt.
But when Duanmu Hua Yu heard this, he just revealed a bitter smile and pointed at his neck where the scar was. Then he pointed at Min'er and revealed a proper smile.
Lin Fan could understand what he meant, but he still couldn't agree to it.
He still felt like there should be some other incident that happened in Duanmu Hua Yu's past that caused him to act like this. But he wasn't boorish enough to poke into someone else's past like this, so he chose not to dig any further.
Following the thugs through the streets, it didn't take them long to reach their headquarters.
Their headquarters was in a part of the city that was much cleaner than the neighbourhood that Duanmu Hua Yu lived in.
Though there was still quite a bit of trash and dirt that was lying around. At the very least, there were some proper buildings instead of just a bunch of tents that were scattered around.
These were high rise buildings that were clearly office buildings, so this area should be considered a business area of the city.
The building that the thugs led them to wasn't the tallest and it wasn't in the best position, but it was at least good enough that Lin Fan could see some resemblance of a proper building when he walked in.
In the lobby of this building, there was a proper receptionist desk and a receptionist sitting there.
When she saw the thugs leading Lin Fan in, she just ignored them and let them through.
The thugs also didn't say anything to her, but Lin Fan didn't miss the slight nod that they had given her. At the same time, he noticed that she had secretly pressed a button under the desk.
This should be a signal that they had already agreed upon for when they brought back enemies.
If his guesses weren't wrong, what was waiting for him above was…
As expected, when they stepped out of the elevator and into the office, there were many men that were already waiting there for them.
Most of them had weapons in their hands, only a few of them just stood there punching one fist into the other palm.
In the center of them was a slick looking man who was much smaller than all the other men, but it was clear that he was the boss here.
As soon as Lin Fan's group came out of the elevator, the slick looking man who had been sitting at the desk in the front of the room stood up and walked in front of the rest of these men.
He looked over at Lin Fan without even looking at his own men who had brought Lin Fan here and just said, "It seems like I owe you for taking care of my boys. How do you think we should settle this?"
Lin Fan just revealed a faint smile and said, "How about you give up? That'll make things easier for you."
The slick looking man looked at Lin Fan as if he was trying to decide if he was serious or not, but seeing that Lin Fan was indeed serious, he suddenly broke out in laughter. He then said, "Do you really think…"
Before he could finish his threat, there was something that flew past him.
