Chapter 117: Little orphan again

Once Yang Yun and Mu Xiao Hai were gone, there were no other customers that came.

Occasionally there would be someone that would come to check out the store when they heard that it was a scamming store. They were curious just how much of a scam the store really was.

When they came in and saw the prices, they didn't stay a single second longer.

It was like the reviews had said online, this store was definitely a scam shop!

Lin Fan had actually gone to check out the reviews online when he had free time and every single review was a one star review that called his shop a scam. Most of them didn't even include any real content, they just called his store a scam in capital letters.

Lin Fan really couldn't do anything with this wave of negative reviews bombarding his store, so in the end, he decided not to care.

Once it was time for him to close his store, he locked up and headed back to the Mu Manor.

During this period where he was new to Green Wood City, Mu Dong Hai had invited Lin Fan to stay at the Mu Manor for a bit before he found a place for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan wanted to maintain the good relationship he had with the Mu Family, especially after everything they've done for him, so he saw no reason to reject this offer.

Getting into the beast carriage, it headed back to the Mu Manor, passing along the Alchemy Tower.

When they passed by the Alchemy Tower, there were a few voices that caught Lin Fan's attention.

Looking out the window of the beast carriage, he saw several street rats ganging up around one street rat lying on the ground in an alley. When he looked closer, he could tell that it was the same girl who he had hired to bring to the Mu Manor just yesterday.

The ones surrounding the one on the ground were shouting all kinds of things as their leader stood over the little girl.

"Get him, teach him a lesson!"

"Show him what happens when he messes around on our turf!"

"How dare he not pay his due! We all saw him with that crystal yesterday!"

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help knitting his brows. It seemed like his kind intentions had actually caused trouble for this little girl.

Angela took his arm and looked at him with a concerned look.

Lin Fan nodded before he had the driver of the beast carriage stop.

Once they stopped, Lin Fan and Angela both came out of the beast carriage and walked over to the small alley.

When they approached, the ones surrounding the little girl looked at them vigilantly before the leader spat on the ground in front of Lin Fan, saying, "Hey old man, get out of here. Don't you know that this is Urchin territory? This doesn't involve you."

Lin Fan turned to look at the little girl on the ground, "What are you doing to this one?"

The leader turned to the little girl before turning back to look at Lin Fan with a mean glare, "What does it matter to you what we do with him? He's the one that lives in our territory, so he must pay his dues. If anyone doesn't follow the rules of our territory, they must be taught a lesson or everyone will look down on us!"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "How much?"

The leader was taken aback before asking in a confused voice, "How much for what?"

Lin Fan said, "How much for you to let him go?"

The leader then revealed a smile, "You want to be a hero? If that's what you want, then you have to pay for it. A hundred crystals and we'll let him go."

Lin Fan slightly knit his brows, "Little friend, you should know that you shouldn't take things too far. Now, how about you tell me the real price."

The leader's smile fell from his face and he revealed an ice cold look before releasing his aura, "You're the one that wants to play hero, no one is asking you to step in. If you want to play, then you have to be prepared to pay the price."

Lin Fan knew that there was no talking to these brats, so he just gave a snort and released his own aura.

When the leader felt this mountain like pressure fall onto him, he fell onto one knee. As for the rest of the ruffians, they were all flattened to the ground.

The leader was only in the Silver Realm, so he had a better time dealing with this pressure, but his subordinates were mainly in the Iron Realm with one or two being in the Bronze Realm. They couldn't take the pressure that came from Lin Fan at all.

The leader just glared at Lin Fan as he said, "You, do you really want to make an enemy out of the Urchins? Do you know how many people you'll be turning into your enemy?"

Lin Fan glared right back at him as he said, "I tried to end this in a friendly manner, but you're the one who forced my hand. I'll give you a final offer, ten crystals and you let him go. Deal or no deal?"

The leader paused for a second before saying, "Fine, fine, we'll take your deal!"

The boss of the Urchins was actually only in the Gold Realm and this leader had never felt such a heavy pressure from his boss before. He knew that this person was stronger than their boss, so he was someone that couldn't be provoked.

If this person was offering a quick resolution to this, the leader had no reason not to accept this.

Lin Fan heard this and he took out ten crystals which he threw onto the ground in front of the leader.

The leader knew that this was Lin Fan's way of making a show of him, but he had no choice but to accept this. If he didn't he might not even be able to escape from here.

The leader quickly picked up the crystals and waved for his subordinates to follow him.

When he saw this, Lin Fan released his aura and allowed them to escape.

Of course, when they went by, Lin Fan didn't forget to tag them with a few of Brainy's seeds. There was no knowing what they would do in the future.

When they were gone, Lin Fan came over to the little girl and looked down. He found that her lip was cut and there were several bruises on her faces. Then looking at the parts of her body that were revealed by her clothes, there were also several bruises covering her skin.

It seemed like she had been conscious when Lin Fan had appeared, but she fainted once she saw that she was safe.

Lin Fan picked her up and walked over to the beast carriage.

When the driver saw Lin Fan bringing the little girl back, he raised one brow, but he knew better than to question Lin Fan. Lin Fan was someone who even the head of the family had greeted politely, it wasn't his place to question Lin Fan's hobbies.

So the beast carriage quickly headed back to the Mu Manor.

Once they came back, Lin Fan headed to his room and put the girl on the bed before calling for a few maids.

When the maids came, he instructed them to get some new clothes for the girl, to bathe her, and dress her wounds.

The maids looked at Lin Fan with strange looks, but still they didn't question him.

Lin Fan had a weird feeling when he received these looks, but for now it was more important to take care of this girl. Since he was the one who caused this mess for her, he would take care of her to the end.

Once the maids were finished bathing and dressing her, they brought the little girl back.

Instead of being dressed in those baggy and dirty clothes, she was now dressed in a pure white sundress and had a few hairpins that held her long messy hair in place. With how she was dressed, she was like a little porcelain doll.

The maids couldn't help gushing over her with how cute she looked and when they brought her back, they looked at Lin Fan with unwillingness, like they didn't want to leave this little girl with him.

Lin Fan still didn't understand why they looked at him like this, but he waved them off in the end.

The little girl hesitantly stood there for a bit as Lin Fan looked over her, waiting for her to speak. Then the little girl suddenly went over to the bed and laid down, hiding her head in the pillows.

Lin Fan was confused why she did this, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

The little girl said, "I'm waiting to give this mister my first time."
