Chapter 178 - 178: Kicking A Steel Plate
The owner of this voice was of course the ugly young master that had been chasing Yu Ning before.
Ever since he had left the Monster Trainer Union yesterday, he had been focused on getting his revenge
He had gathered the power of his family's intelligence network to search up Lin Fan and he had found a shocking discovery. This brat that had embarrassed him in front of his goddess Yu Ning was actually related to the Zhu Family!
It seemed like he couldn't just directly attack this kid, he would have to plan accordingly.
But everything fell into place the moment that he learned that this punk had a pet shop.
He couldn't directly fight him, but if he were to use his status as a well known genius to ruin the reputation, that wouldn't mean he was directly in conflict with the Zhu Family. After all, this was just normal business practice, there was nothing wrong with using rumours and threats to harm someone's business.
So the young master personally went to Lin Fan's shop the next morning bringing us to the current situation.
Everyone was staring at the young master who had suddenly come into the shop.
Lin Fan also stared at him for a bit before turning to walk away.
The ugly young master saw this and said, "This store is nothing more than a scam, don't trust this…"
But then he suddenly stopped when he saw Yu Ning walking around in the store.
The ugly young master came over and asked in a surprised voice, "Ning Ning, what are you doing here?"
Yu Ning wanted to ignore this young master at first, but seeing everyone looking at them, she had no choice but to say, "I'm working here, can't you see that Fan Yu?"
The ugly young master Fan Yu immediately said with a concerned look, "Are you being forced to work in this store? I'll get you out of here right away if that's the case."
Yu Ning really wanted to slap this idiot, but she couldn't do that since she was an employee and he was a customer. However, before she could even speak, there was someone else who spoke.
"Now, now son, there'll be time to flirt with your little girlfriend later. For now, let's focus on what we were planning to do here."
Hearing the word "girlfriend" put a dark look on Yu Ning's face, while a happy look appeared on Fan Yu's face.
This person was Fan Yu's father and the head of the Fan Royal Family. Since Fan Yu had already decided to take revenge on Lin Fan, of course he wouldn't shy from using every bit of power that he had in his disposal. That of course included the Fan Royal Family that stood behind him.
But once again, before Fan Yu's father could say a thing, there was another voice that came from the door.
"Oh, why did I never hear about my disciple having a boyfriend? I wonder who this person could be."
When the Fan Family's group turned around, they saw vice president Zhang Liang standing there, but they didn't panic at all.
Fan Yu's father came over to Zhang Liang and said, "Vice president Zhang, it truly is lucky to meet you here today. This is a matter between the kids and what comes naturally will come naturally, after all, my son isn't that bad of a catch."
As the head of a Royal Family, of course he wouldn't back down in front of Zhang Liang, rather he was quite bold in trying to push his son onto Yu Ning. After all, if this marriage were to be arranged, it would mean the Fan Family would be able to get closer to the Monster Trainer Union which they always wanted to do.
Zhang Liang was going to say something, but then he thought better of it and he just gave a cold snort as he began moving towards Yu Ning.
The Fan Family head didn't know what lucky wind blew his way today. Not only had he found Zhang Liang's disciple being forced to work in this shady shop, he had even bumped into Zhang Liang as well. As long as he and his son could show off in front of them, it was a sure deal that they would be able to build this marriage relationship.
The Fan Family head came forward and followed Zhang Liang as he said, "Vice president Zhang, it really is a good thing that you came in time to see this. Your disciple has been tricked by this scum owner into working in this shady shop. Do you see these prices that he's offering? This is a complete rip off!"
Perhaps if he came earlier, he might have been able to generate the sympathy of the crowd, but he had come too late.
Everyone had seen Lin Fan being awarded his Master Monster Trainer certification by the president, how could they still doubt that?
Zhang Liang turned and was about to respond to this, but then he saw who came in to hear everything and he just revealed a smile.
The Fan Family head was confused by this smile and wanted to keep condemning Lin Fan, but another voice came from behind him.
"Shady? Are you doubting the certification that I gave Owner Lin?"
The Fan Family head gave a cold snort when he heard this. No matter what, he was still someone who was considered rather famous in Water Pearl City, when had anyone talked to him like this?
Moreover, this was someone who gave a certification to this brat? There was no way he could be anyone important.
But that confident look on his face collapsed the moment he turned around. There was no way that he didn't recognize this person since it was the one person that he wanted to suck up to the most.
The president looked at him and gave a cold snort, "Are you really doubting the certification that I personally issued? I was the one who watched over Owner Lin's test."
The Fan Family head's brain couldn't process what had just happened.
His son had told him that this was a store that had some connections to the Zhu Family, so he wasn't worried since he didn't mind even if he did offend the Zhu Family a little. But he never expected even the president of the Monster Trainer Union would be here.
Moreover, what did he mean by certification?
To survive in Water Pearl City, one had to depend on one of the two giants of Water Pearl City. Most factions either had deals with the Zhu Family or the Monster Trainer Union and there was a small rivalry between them even though there was no real hostility between the two giants.
The Fan Family was a family that mainly had deals with the Monster Trainer Union, that was why the Zhu Family head had always wanted his son to get closer to Yu Ning, that way he could put himself in a better position, but now it seemed like he had kicked a steel plate. For some reason, this store seemed to have relations with not just the Zhu Family, but also the Monster Trainer Union.
The Fan Family head had felt lucky that he had found a way to get closer, but now it seemed like this was a trap and he had fallen face first into it.
After glaring at his son who was still stunned by the appearance of the president, the Fan Family head quickly said, "No, no, sir president, I didn't mean that. I just feel that this store's prices are a bit too steep, they are just charging two hundred crystals just for a single bag of pet food? I've never seen such a black hearted store before."
Then this time it was Dan Dan who came forward, "So 100% purity pet food isn't worth that much to you? Have you ever seen 100% purity pet food before? You think that it's so common that it isn't worth this much?"
The Fan Family head didn't know what was going on here, why were all these famous people gathering here today and why did they all seem like they were on the side of this unknown pet store!
The Fan Family head didn't dare linger any longer, he revealed an awkward look and grabbed his son as he said while running out, "I'm sorry, but I have another appointment. I really have to go. If there is a chance, I hope we can have a chat another time."
Everyone laughed deep down when they saw this, but no one dared to laugh out loud since this was the head of a Royal Family after all. However, that also didn't stop them from posting these videos online…
Lin Fan didn't do a single thing during this whole time because he did have his own methods to dealing with those idiots, but his methods were generally more forceful, so he preferred not using them if he didn't have to.
He didn't know why the president and Dan Dan were back, but he still went forward to talk to them.
They had a chat between them and Lin Fan reached a deal with Dan Dan while the morning rush finished.
When they left again, both the president and Dan Dan had satisfied looks on their faces.
…
A week passed just like this and business was quite good with the various forms of advertising Lin Fan had received.
Whether it was from Dan Dan, the Monster Trainer Union, the Zhu Family, or even the Fan Family, all of these advertisements brought him many customers.
But the main reason they all stayed was because of how effective Lin Fan's items and training were.
After just a single day of using Lin Fan's services, the people who had used them were hooked and those that came to watch the fun were shocked by the abilities the pets displayed when Lin Fan returned the pets to their owners.
Lin Fan's store quickly reached the same level of fame that he had reached with his two previous stores and this time there was nothing that stopped him. Rather it was quite hard to even want to stop him since he had the support of the two big giants of Water Pearl City behind him.
To actually want to fail was close to impossible with all this support. For once, there wasn't a giant organization that was intent on crushing his store.
But a large part of his fame also came from his use of Zhu Tie.
Even after the morning rush was over, there would be girls who hung around his store just to sneak a peek of Zhu Tie…
It even made Lin Fan feel a bit jealous, but that was quickly dealt with by Angela...
