Chapter 118 Cleaning Up (5)

The lights were bright in the bar and there was beer everywhere.

These bandits had completely forgotten everything in the world as they lost themselves in their alcohol. There were many of them that couldn't even form proper sentences anymore as they fell over their tables.

In the middle of all of this was the boss of this bandit group who had several women in his arms.

But if one looked closely, they would be able to see the marks on their wrists from where they had been chained and the marks from being hit hidden under their clothes…

However, none of that was able to stop the enthusiasm of the boss as his wandering hands moved across their bodies.

This party had been going for close to two hours now and it didn't seem like it would ever come to an end, but there were people that also left from time to time to go to the bathroom since it was outside.

At this time, there were two people that suddenly needed to use the bathroom, so they headed out.

Everything seemed normal at first, but when they got far enough from the bar, they found that the town was eerily quiet. It was almost as if there were no sounds around them at all.

? But that shouldn't be right since there were still people that lived in this town and there were still guards that were on the walls. It shouldn't be this quiet…

They suddenly became alert as their hands went to their weapons. It was just too bad that they had already been surrounded.

The men all around them beat them up with pitchforks, hitting them until they lost consciousness.

After beating these two up, the men looked down at their own hands before looking down at the bandits lying unconscious in front of them. It was almost as if they couldn't believe what they had just done, but then there was a determined look that appeared in their eyes.

It was almost as if they had suddenly been filled with the determination to see this through.

They had been on the fence at first, but then after seeing what they could do with their own hands, they were no longer hesitating. Since these bandits were just normal people like them, why couldn't they fight to take their village back?

The pent up feelings inside of them burst forth at this moment as they were filled with the desire to fight.

However, Lin Fan knew better than to let them charge into this den of bandits just based on this emotion alone. He knew that they wouldn't be able to win like this.

First, not to mention combat skills, just in terms of numbers, the villagers were at a disadvantage. There were more than double the number of bandits compared to villagers, so as soon as they rushed in, there was no doubt that they would be surrounded and killed.

So Lin Fan stopped them and personally led the way.

As for the two bandits that they had knocked out, the villagers tied them up for later.

These villagers had plenty of pent up anger towards these bandits, so they wouldn't let them die that easily. If they could capture them, they would capture them so they could get revenge on them later.

Lin Fan walked up to the bar, but since most of the bandits were focused on their partying, they didn't really notice him. He was able to get all the way to the door without being noticed.

Even when he pushed through the door to enter the bar, there wasn't a single person that had noticed him.

Lin Fan looked around and he couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

These people were supposed to be plotting against him, but here they were partying without a care in the world. Did these people really think that they could do anything to him like this?

Did they think that he was an idiot?

However, this was advantageous to him, so he didn't bother taking it to heart.

In the end, these people were already dead in his heart.

So he casually walked into the bar and walked up to where the boss was sitting.

Everyone just ignored him at first since they thought that he was one of them, but then they slowly realized that there was something strange about him. They all turned to look at him, but since they were drunk, it was hard for them to recognize him at first.

Still, they were able to eventually see him clearly.

Not everyone knew who this person was, but the men who had gone to greet Lin Fan with the village chief were also here and they were able to recognize him.

Of course, the boss who had been sitting in the middle also recognized him since he had seen him when he first came into the village. He had seen him, but Lin Fan hadn't seen the boss, that was how he operated.

But seeing Lin Fan appear here, he couldn't help becoming a bit nervous.

Wasn't he supposed to be in the woods looking for the spirit beast? Why was he here?

Still, since he was here, there wasn't anything that he could do about it. Since he was here, the only thing that he could do was…

The boss looked at Lin Fan with a smile and said, "Sir mercenary, it's my mistake for not greeting you as soon as you arrived. But that really is surprising, when did you arrive? I didn't notice you at all."

He had to stay calm and pretend that he didn't know anything. After all, without knowing what the other side knew and what his goal in coming here was, it was dangerous for him to say anything excessive since all that would do was reveal himself.

The only thing that he could do now was wait for the other side to reveal their intentions first.

As well, he hoped that the village chief would notice this and come soon. After all, he was the village chief, so it was easier for him to interact with this mercenary than him who was officially the leader of the guards for this village.

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "That isn't important. What's important is that I have some business with you."

The boss revealed a confused look as he asked, "Business with me? What business could you have with a lowly person like me? It's not as if I know anything about the spirit beast, so I don't really think that I could be of any help."

Lin Fan said with the same smile, "I never said that it was related to the spirit beast." But then after thinking about it, he said, "Well, it's a lie to say that it's completely unrelated to the spirit beast."

The boss was even more confused when he heard this, but he didn't stay dazed for long. He gave a snap and three people came forward on the side before saying, "These three are the ones that know about the spirit beast the best out of all the guards. Perhaps they can help you."

But in reality, these three were actually his best fighters…

Fighters was the wrong way to put it. The better way to describe them would be assassins.

They took care of any unpleasant business that the boss wanted to take care of and the three of them had never failed him once, especially when they were working together.

He could already sense something bad about Lin Fan's appearance here, so he didn't hesitate to use his three assassins to take care of Lin Fan before things became even worse. It was just too bad that he had completely underestimated Lin Fan.

Lin Fan still had a smile on his face as he said, "There's no need for that. Actually, it's quite a simple thing that I need your help with."

Lin Fan walked forward and came up to the table in front of the boss before putting one hand on the table.

At this point, everyone that was drunk started to sober up and all of their hands were on their weapons, as if they were prepared to fight at any time. Even an idiot without a brain would be able to sense that something was off based on how Lin Fan was acting.

Lin Fan ignored all of them as he kept staring at the boss.

The boss felt a shiver run down his spine when faced with Lin Fan's staring, but he still forced himself to calm down as he said, "Sir mercenary, if there's anything you need, we can talk this out. There's no need…"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Fan suddenly flipped the table over his head, blocking him from the field of view of all the bandits around him.

The moment that the table was flipped, everyone pulled out their weapons and moved forward to surround Lin Fan.

The boss had also thrown away the girls that had been in his arms and pulled out his weapon, as he prepared to face Lin Fan.

The three assassins didn't waste any time as they went in three different directions, stabbing out with their daggers. They were hoping to use Lin Fan's table flip to also catch Lin Fan off guard and kill him before he could do anything.

It was just too bad that what they met was a giant snake tail that smashed the table hiding Lin Fan.

With a single whip of the snake tail, the three assassins were smashed into three different walls, creating three different outlines in those walls.

But the bandits didn't have time to care about them as something shocking appeared in front of their eyes.
