Chapter 599 Forced into submission

?At the very least, it seemed that the governor was smart enough to recognize that he wasn't able to do anything.

Since that was the case, he decided to see if he would be able to negotiate his way out of this.

Lin Fan had the worst possible impression of the governor from what he had found out about him from the people who worked for him. He didn't think that he would be able to use him for anything, but now...

It seemed that he had underestimated the governor. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

There was a reason why he had been able to reach his position and remain in his position.

It definitely wasn't his cultivation since the governor was barely in the Foundation Realm.

So he had the basic intelligence that would keep him in his position.

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't saying anything, the governor was about to say something else.

However, Lin Fan suddenly said, "You'll be working for me for a bit and then I'll leave you alone."

The governor deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He looked at Lin Fan with a confused look before asking, "Working for you? What are you planning on doing?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile without saying anything.

The governor couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine since he could see that even though he had a smile on his face, that smile didn't reach his eyes.

It was just a smile for the sake of showing a smile.

The way that he looked at him made the governor feel like he was on the chopping block.

It was as if he was a lamb that was being led to the slaughter which was a very uncomfortable feeling for him.

But this just made him unable to say anything.

After letting him feel this way for a bit, Lin Fan suddenly said, "It's very simple, I have a few tasks that I need you to take care of. As long as you take care of them properly, you won't ever see me again."

Then as if it was an afterthought, Lin Fan added, "Not to mention, this is something that's related to what you should be doing in the first place."

The governor couldn't help revealing an even more confused look when he heard this.

Related to what he should be doing in the first place?

What did that even mean?

But since he was saying this, there was something for the governor to respond with.

"You should know that I am an official of the Mu Empire. There are certain things that I can and can't do or else I will be in trouble. I hope that you will not make it hard for me."

The governor had already accepted that he would help him do this, but he was also trying to minimize the damage to himself for helping this person.

After all, he didn't know who this person that had suddenly appeared in his room was.

The governor's eyes slowly lit up when he heard this, but then his expression fell when he heard what else Lin Fan said.

"But there are a few things that can be considered abusing your power." His eyes narrowed when he said this which sent a chill down the governor's spine.

The governor opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he had no idea what he was referring to, so he didn't want to say anything rashly that would dig him deeper into this hole.

Seeing that the governor didn't say anything, Lin Fan said, "The things that you have hidden in your secret vault under this manor, the two b*stards that you conceived, and all those other things, you don't think that you're going to far?"

The governor started shaking in fear when he heard this.

After all, these were things that only his closest subordinates knew about and yet this person was revealing them like it was nothing.

"I..." The governor wanted to explain himself, but Lin Fan just raised his hand to cut him off.

"I already said that what you've done isn't treason, so you won't be punished for this." Lin Fan narrowed his eyes again to look at the governor as he said, "But consider this an official warning for all the things that you've done."

The governor gave a gulp before slowly giving a nod.

Lin Fan also gave a nod before saying, "I hope that in the future, you will act more in line to your position."

The governor once again gave another cautious and slow nod.

After seeing this, Lin Fan suddenly turned around as if he was about to leave, but the governor called out to stop him.

"What about the things that you need me to do?"

Lin Fan stopped and turned back to say, "I'll come back tomorrow and we'll talk about it then."

The governor was taken aback when he heard this.

But he called out once more to say, "What about my wife, what will happen to her?"

Lin Fan didn't turn around this time and just disappeared without a trace.

The governor was just left sitting there with a stunned look on his face as he wondered if what had just happened had actually happened.

No, it definitely happened since his wife was still sitting up with a blank look on her face and he had the scroll thrown at him in his hand.

But after a minute, his wife suddenly laid back down as if nothing had happened.

Then a few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him before saying, "What's wrong? Why are you just sitting there covered in cold sweat?"

The governor had broken out in a cold sweat from everything that had happened and he had been sitting there in bed in a daze until his wife called out to him.

He slowly turned to look at his wife before asking, "Do you remember what happened?"

His wife just revealed a confused look before asking, "What do you mean? I just woke up."

The governor couldn't help trembling when he heard this.

Now he really would have doubted that anything had happened if it wasn't for the scroll in his hand.

It seemed that whoever this person was, he was able to control people around him like it was nothing and he could even make them forget what happened.

When did the Mu Empire get such a terrifying person?
