Chapter 116: Don’t Play Tricks on an Honest Man Like Me

Seeing Lin Fan walking over toward them, the Mo Family members felt threatened. It was not because they were planning to go back on their word, but Lin Fan felt extremely dangerous to them.

Even the well-trained guards nearly threw up their dinner from last night at the sight of the scene. The hell-like scene made their stomachs hurts.

How could that be considered a battle? There were no complete corpses at all!

Plop!

Lin Fan flung the lower body of the man in gray over. He took a glance at the other party and then at the half of the man’s body.

“Their leader was a little bit too strong. He has a weird way of escaping, but luckily I got half of his body. This can be considered as killing half a person, right?” Lin Fan asked indirectly.

He then turned to the Mo Family members in anticipation.

This should get me 1.5 million! But if the other party is too calculative, then I won’t get anything out of it since he’s still alive.

As a professional cleaner, I aspire to make my deals perfect. However, it’s a pity that an incident occurred at the end.

Uncle Cheng gulped. With his age, he had come across his fair share of experience in life. However, the incident that took place today was something that he wouldn’t have believed if he did not witness it.

Hearing Lin Fan’s question, Uncle Cheng took a glance at the bottom half of the body. The sight of it made him tremble slightly.

“I’ll pay you half.”

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief hearing him. I guess that my first business venture went well. The client is nice and generous. They are someone I would work with again in the future.

Let me do some counting.

“Thirteen Body Tempering Realm cultivators and one and a half Earth Star Border Realm cultivators. Ten million in total.” Fearing that he had made a mistake in his calculation, Lin Fan recalculated it in his mind before telling Mo Family the amount. “Please pay up.”

Uncle Cheng seemed to be in a daze. He had yet to recover from the shock.

The previous incident had made Mo Lingyu uncomfortable. Life is so fragile. Within the blink of an eye, everything is gone. However, since evil cultivators were the ones being killed, Lin Fan’s action did not feel wrong to her.

If evil cultivators are alive, there will always be innocents who suffer.

“Gentleman, thank you so much for saving my life. Gentleman has calculated wrongly though. It’s eleven million.” Mo Lingyi bowed slightly with gratitude and put a thin smile on her face.

Her beautiful smile could warm the cockles of one’s heart.

At the same time, Lin Fan nearly choked. Eleven million? Why did I keep getting ten million all the times I calculated before? Did I become stupid because I trained too many skills that use brute force?

As a third-class inner disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect and the direct disciple of Elder Tian Xu, how could I admit my mistake though?

“One million off then. Consider it a promotion since it’s my first time working with you,” Lin Fan said while flashing them a smile.

He was so calm that it seemed genuine. My heart aches! I lost one million thanks to my stupidity.

However, I have earned some points because of the evil cultivators. It might not be a lot, but it’s at least more than a thousand. That’s not bad.

If not for the Blood-Eyed Demonic Apes, I would already have picked up the Magic of the Seven Gods though.

Those hateful monkeys. You will regret your actions one day.

“Gentleman, thank you for lending us a helping hand. This old man is extremely grateful to you.” Uncle Cheng cupped his fist.

“Mm?” Lin Fan furrowed his brows. “Are you trying to trick such a kind person like me?”

Lend you a helping hand? I’m not lending you a helping hand! We have already made a deal. You shouldn’t trick such a kind person like me!

Clang!

Lin Fan put the mace on his shoulders and looked down at the people standing in front of him. Uncle Cheng might’ve been an old man and Mo Lingyu might’ve been a weak and beautiful woman, but Lin Fan swore that, if he heard “yes,” he would smash them to death with his mace no matter how beautiful they were.

Anger. Lin Fan had been slightly angered.

Feeling Lin Fan’s anger, chills ran down Uncle Cheng’s spine. To him, Lin Fan was not human but a strong mountain pressing down on his shoulders.

As for kindness, I don’t think it exists. I don’t see any kindness in him whatsoever.

“Gentleman, you have misunderstood us. We, the Mo Family, stick to our words and never break a promise. Uncle Cheng, get Gentleman his pay,” Mo Lingyu said softly.

“Yes, Miss.” Uncle Cheng nodded. He was worried that Lin Fan would go mad as soon as he left and kill Mo Lingyu, but that seemed to be impossible. He went to a carriage at the back and returned swiftly, handing something to Miss Mo.

Mo Lingyu took out ten unique-looking pieces of paper. They looked transparent under the sunlight, and there were no creases even if it was folded.

“Gentleman, here’s ten million. You can exchange it with any association in the world.” Mo Lingyu placed the money in Lin Fan’s huge hand with her slender fingers.

Taking the money, Lin Fan was on cloud nine. He was so happy that he could not describe it with words.

I have earned this with my own ability.

Even though they tried to bargain in the beginning, it’s a win for them. At least they did not lose their lives.

Where would you get the chance to enjoy life if you’re about to die soon?

Lin Fan put the money in his storage ring. “Mm. The Mo Family is indeed trustable. Since you are free of danger now, we will end it here. You can come to me at the Magnificent Flame Sect if you have any trouble that you need my help with.

“Remember my name – Lin Fan.”

“Gentleman Lin, please hold on.” Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, Mo Lingyu stopped him. “Is Gentleman Lin a disciple from the Magnificent Flame Sect?”

Lin Fan looked back and nodded calmly. “Yes. I’m a third-class inner disciple and the disciple of Elder Tian Xu.”

Not only was Mo Lingyu taken aback, even Uncle Cheng was surprised to hear Elder Tian Xu’s name.

“Elder Tian Xu is one of the best elders in the Magnificent Flame Sect! He’s very powerful. I did not know that Gentleman was his disciple. Our family received a disciple of Elder Tian Xu ten years ago.”

“The disciple that you received should just be an in-name disciple of my master. I’m Master’s only direct disciple. I might have joined later than the others, but I’m still considered their senior brother.”

Shocking!

Uncle Cheng was at a loss for words. Direct disciple? There is a distinct difference from a direct disciple and an in-name disciple!

He started to look at Lin Fan differently.

“Young Master Lin, please forgive me. This old man is blind. I did not know that Gentleman Lin is Elder Tian Xu’s direct disciple,” Uncle Cheng said, showing Lin Fan respect.

“There’s no need to be so polite. I am not trying to make use of my master’s name to gain success. I’m just me. I will get to where my master is with hard work,” Lin Fan said with his chin high up in the sky. He looked confident.

A thought seemed to pass his mind. Lin Fan turned to Mo Lingyu. “Miss Mo, I hope you do not mind my methods. I practice skillsets that use brute force, thus it’s hard for me to control the outcome.”

I have already revealed my identity, so it’s not good for the other party to think that I’m a cruel person.

How could such a righteous and kind person be cruel?

It’s just that the skills I use make others misunderstand me easily, so I have to explain myself.

“Gentleman Lin,” Mo Lingyu said with a smile. “May I be so bold as to ask for a favor?”

Lin Fan’s heart sank. There it is, this trick. Since you know that you’re being bold, why do you still speak it?

“There’s no need for courtesy, Miss Mo. We have worked together once, so I believe that it would be pleasant working with you again. Please speak your mind. I, Lin Fan, am not a greedy person. I’ll give you my lowest rate.”

And thus, Lin Fan changed the favor to a paid job.
