Chapter 331 Cleaning Up (2)

Lin Fan slowly made his way closer to where big brother Hai was.

As he came closer and closer, he was being watched by all the people that the boss had deployed in the surrounding forest.

When big brother Hai saw Lin Fan coming towards him, he narrowed his eyes to stare at him.

At the same time, he gave the signal to his men to carefully watch over the kids that they were currently holding.

When the kids saw Lin Fan walking over, they revealed looks of hope. They had wanted to say something, but their mouths were covered by the subordinates and they were completely tied up with rope.

Lin Fan raised his hand and gave them a sign to calm down. Only then did the kids sit down and wait patiently.

Big brother Hai and his men didn't make a single move as they watched Lin Fan walk over towards them. Even when Lin Fan stopped right in front of them, they didn't say a single thing as they all stared at him with wary looks.

Lin Fan was the one who spoke first by saying, "What do you want?"

His voice was so cold that all of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Big brother Hai's men were all the ones that had gone to the orphanage before, so they had seen Lin Fan before.

They had been confused why big brother Hai had wanted them to leave the orphanage alone, but now they understood.

This feeling…it was a feeling of death.

It was as if death could happen at any moment.

This was a feeling that they had only ever received from their boss before, so it wasn't a feeling that they were unfamiliar with.

If they had tried to fight this person back at the orphanage, there was no doubt that they would have all died.

It was a good thing that big brother Hai had stopped them.

In this situation though, they knew that the boss and three experts invited by the boss were nearby, so they weren't worried. They knew how strong their boss was, so they were confident that Lin Fan wouldn't be able to do anything.

So after being stunned, they quickly revealed a confident look again.

After giving a cough, big brother Hai forced out a calm smile as he asked, "What do you think I want?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at big brother Hai, putting even more pressure on him. But to his surprise, he found that big brother Hai and the subordinates behind him were much calmer than he thought.

It seemed like the belief in their boss was much stronger than he thought.

But that didn't matter to him.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "Release them and I'll let you go."

Big brother Hai gave a scoff when he heard this before saying, "I don't think you know what position you're in right now. I'm the one that will be asking the questions."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at big brother Hai, but he didn't say anything in response to this.

Big brother Hai also narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before asking, "Where is the Dragon Tongue Herb?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he didn't let it show on his face.

However, the fact that he was asking this just confirmed that his worst case scenario had come true.

He didn't know how they knew, but they knew that he was the one that had broken in.

So far, they were only asking about the Dragon Tongue Herb, so for now…

"What Dragon Tongue Herb?" Lin Fan said in a calm voice.

Big brother Hai was surprised when he heard this.

He wasn't surprised by Lin Fan's denial, but he was surprised by the look on Lin Fan's face and the tone of his voice.

The way that Lin Fan said this and the way that he looked, it was very clear that he didn't know a thing.

Others might not be able to confirm this, but big brother Hai definitely was.

Big brother Hai and his men worked in collecting debts, so they had to have experience with reading people. Big brother Hai especially since he was the one in charge of negotiating with people.

He could see from Lin Fan's reaction that he really didn't know anything about this matter.

But his big brother had said that he had smelled the Dragon Tongue Herb on Lin Fan, so there was no way that Lin Fan wouldn't be related to this.

So after being silent for a bit, big brother Hai said in a firm voice, "You can act tough if you want, but we already know what you've done. You had the smell of the Dragon Tongue Herb on you, that isn't something that you can hide."

As he said this, the boss who had been listening couldn't help putting his head in his hand

He couldn't believe that this idiot little brother of his had been fooled this easily…

It was clear that the other side was pretending not to know and trying to draw out information from his little brother, but this dumb little brother of his had told him everything.

He really didn't know how he was related to this idiot.

Lin Fan on the other hand was happy that he got the information he wanted. At the same time, he finally learned where he had made a mistake.

But it was one thing that he never would have thought of because he never thought that anyone would be able to track him from this. After all, the Dragon Tongue Herb didn't have much of a smell in the first place, plus he never thought that someone would be able to track him based on residual smell.

Since it was so far out there, it was one of the things that he hadn't prepared for.

So he didn't beat himself up too much over it, but he knew that this was one of the things that he had to consider in the future.

Once he had figured this out, there was no reason for him to wait any longer.

So Lin Fan said, "Release the kids and I'll let you leave. If not…"

He didn't finish his words, but the intonation of his voice made it very clear what he was implying.

Big brother Hai and all of his men couldn't help taking a step back when they heard this, but then they stood firm.

Big brother Hai took out a knife and put it at the throat of one of the kids before saying, "You're not the one who is in charge here. You better tell us what we want to know or…"

Before he could finish, there was something that suddenly knocked the knife out of his hand.

He wasn't able to see what it was, but there was a force that suddenly ripped the knife out of his hand and sent it flying into the air.

At the same time, the two men who were holding the kids suddenly felt pain in their hands and they couldn't help letting go. When they looked down at their hands, they found that they were completely frozen.

The kids that had been there also disappeared and had appeared by Lin Fan's side.

They looked around themselves as if they couldn't understand what had just happened, but they also didn't stay awake for long. Lin Fan used his spiritual energy to put them to sleep.

After putting them to the side, he waved his hand and more icicles appeared in the air.

Big brother Hai and his men were all shocked when they saw this as they never expected Lin Fan to attack so suddenly.

All of them started backing up as big brother Hai said, "What, what do you think you're doing?"

Even though it was clear that they were the ones in trouble, he still acted tough.

However, deep down, he and his men were all thinking, "Why isn't the boss making a move?"

They had already agreed on a plan, so they were just waiting for the boss and his helpers to make a move against Lin Fan.

However, nothing seemed to be happening.

Did the boss sell them out?

That was the thought that filled their mind for a second.

But then, there were several figures that appeared around them.

These figures surrounded Lin Fan and they all had weapons in their hands.

When big brother Hai and his men saw these figures, their eyes couldn't help lighting up.

That was because it was the boss and his helpers.

However, the boss and the three Mid Foundation Realm Cultivators didn't have good looks on their faces. All of them were knitting their brows as they looked at Lin Fan.

The reason why they didn't come out earlier wasn't because they were getting in position, but rather because they were wary of Lin Fan after seeing what he had just done.

When he had attacked big brother Hai and his men, they hadn't seen his attacks at all until it was too late.

They didn't know how he had attacked, so they had been worried about fighting him.

But seeing that he was about to finish off big brother Hai and his men, the boss had no choice but to make a move.

So they came out and surrounded Lin Fan.

Standing there, looking at Lin Fan with knitted brows, the boss suddenly said, "As long as you hand over the two tokens you took, we can forget this matter."
