Chapter 586 - Monster Trainer Exam (6)
The Master Monster Trainer narrowed his eyes to look at Fei Jun before saying in a voice that had a chill to it, "Who are you to ask me this?"
Fei Jun was taken aback the moment he heard this since he had never been talked to like this before.
However, this wasn't the time for him to be making enemies in the Tamers Guild just yet, especially a Master Monster Trainer. Master Monster Trainers were ones that were only below the two vice presidents and the president, so they were still considered very high ranking members.
Fei Jun took a deep breath before saying, "My name is Fei Jun, I was the one who raised the complaint."
The Master Monster Trainer's expression softened a bit when he heard this. He had checked the list of results earlier and he had seen that this Fei Jun was also a talented person as well, breaking the previous record.
However, he could only blame this monster Lin Fan for taking the exam at the same time as him.
In this world, whoever was first was king and nothing else really mattered.
Still, he wouldn't openly be rude to Fei Jun since their Tamers Guild still needed to recruit more members and he was still talented, even if he was less talented than Lin Fan.
The Master Monster Trainer revealed a faint smile and said, "So it's little friend Fei."
Then he turned to Lin Fan and said with the same smile, "In response to your complaint, the Tamers Guild has already checked the footage and the beast tamed and we have found that there was nothing wrong with either of them. We can say for certain that young master Lin here didn't cheat at all."
Then when Fei Jun was about to say something, the Master Monster Trainer turned to look at him with narrowed eyes before saying, "This matter has already been confirmed by the president and the two vice presidents."
Everyone took a cold breath the moment they heard this from the Master Monster Trainer.
Even Fei Jun had no choice but to swallow the words that he had been about to say.
This was a matter that had even drawn in the attention of the president and the two vice presidents.
Fei Jun already knew that the two vice presidents would be paying attention to this matter since they were the ones that had brought him and Lin Fan to the exam in the first place. However, the fact that this matter had even drawn the attention of the president went beyond his expectations.
All three of them were considered to be the authorities on Monster Training in this Galactic Humanity Alliance and if they said that there was nothing funny involved, there was no one that could say anything or they would be challenging the authority of these three.
But it was clear by Fei Jun's aggrieved look that he couldn't accept this decision.
Still, there was nothing that he could do about it.
After giving this piece of information, the Master Monster Trainer no longer cared about Fei Jun as he turned back to Lin Fan. He revealed a smile and said, "Young master Lin, if it's possible, can we have a meeting after the exam? I have a friend that is interested in meeting you."
Lin Fan looked at this Master Monster Trainer with an interested look for a bit before shaking his head and saying, "Unfortunately I have no time since I have to meet vice president Huang after this. Perhaps another time?"
The Master Monster Trainer revealed a slightly surprised look when he heard this, but he quickly revealed a smile again as he said, "Of course, of course. When you have free time, we can set something up."
Then after a few courteous words, the Master Monster Trainer left the waiting room.
When he left, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile that had a trace of disdain in it.
It was clear that this person wanted to draw him under him as soon as possible so he could get ahead of the others, but he never expected that vice president Huang was already behind this new talent. Since it was vice president Huang, this person had no choice but to give up.
After all, they were only a Master Monster Trainer and vice president Huang was the vice president, as well as a Grandmaster Monster Trainer.
But if it wasn't for Lin Fan, this Master Monster Trainer wouldn't have come personally. The only reason he had come was to try and recruit Lin Fan to his faction.
Once the Master Monster Trainer was gone, the room fell into silence once again.
Everyone looked at Lin Fan with strange looks in their eyes, with the strangest look belonging to Fei Jun. However, since even the upper management of the Tamers Guild had already confirmed that Lin Fan hadn't cheated, there was nothing else they could do.
But one thing that people could tell was that there was a clear grudge between the second place Fei Jun and the first place Lin Fan, so they started thinking about which side to take.
Naturally people wanted to get closer to Lin Fan since his performance had been too monstrous, but Lin Fan just sat there without talking to anyone. Even when people came up to him, he just looked at them without saying a single thing in response.
Since that was the case, there were a few people who had started heading towards Fei Jun's side, but he also ignored them since he had already seen them approach Lin Fan. He couldn't stand being treated as sloppy seconds, so naturally he didn't accept those people at all.
The sharp eyed people noticed this and they approached Fei Jun without even caring about Lin Fan. Those were the only people that Fei Jun accepted.
The ones that were denied had no choice but to continue trying with Lin Fan, but he ignored them still.
Fei Jun had no choice but to accept his defeat in this round, but he didn't give up since he knew that taming alone wasn't enough to determine who was a better Monster Trainer. The second round would definitely involve actual training and that was what he really excelled in!
…
Back in the VIP room, the president and the two vice presidents had been silent for a long time.
It was only when the president suddenly burst out in laughter that the silence was broken.
Huang Gan revealed a smile and started laughing along with the president, but Bai Chen had an ugly look on his face.
Once they were done laughing, Huang Gan turned to Bai Chen and cupped his hands as he said, "I have to thank brother Bai for letting me win."
Even though his words were courteous, the meaning behind them were clear with the tone that he said this in.
Chen Bai grinded his teeth in anger, but he didn't let it show on his face. Instead, he just gave a snort and said, "It was just a lucky break." Then he changed his tone and said, "How about we make it more interesting by going double or nothing?"
Huang Gan was surprised to hear this, but he was interested since he now believed in Lin Fan. After all, how could he not believe in Lin Fan after that monstrous display that he just put on?
So after a slight pause, Huang Gan asked, "What are you proposing?"
Chen Bai said, "We'll make a bet on the second round. If the kid you brought does better than the kid I brought, I'll give you that scroll that I've been hoarding the entire time. However, if my kid does better, then you'll have to give me that jewel you've been hoarding along with that red egg."
Huang Gan knitted his brows when he heard this and he asked, "Why should I offer up the jewel as well? I've already gotten that ice lotus of yours, why should I offer another item up?"
Chen Bai gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he didn't have a way to refute it since the fact that he had lost was already a fact.
Still, he wasn't willing to give up on this easily, so after a pause, he gave a nod and said, "Alright, then it'll just be the ice lotus and that red egg of yours."
Huang Gan thought about it for a bit before giving a nod and saying, "Alright, it's a bet."
Chen Bai revealed an ugly expression, but deep down he was rejoicing since he knew that this was his chance. He knew that Fei Jun was better at training than he was at taming, which gave him confidence.
During this time, the president had stood up and walked over to where Qiao Yi Fei was sitting and sat down beside her.
Qiao Yi Fei was surprised to see the president sitting beside her, but she asked, "Uncle Ye, what can I do for you?"
The president who she had called Uncle Ye revealed a smile and said, "Tell me about that kid."
Qiao Yi Fei revealed a bitter smile as she heard this.
As expected, it seemed like talent like Lin Fan's couldn't be hidden. Especially when he gave such a large display.
But still, there was no need to keep anything from the president since he was interested. She still had her own plans…
So Qiao Yi Fei told the president everything that she knew about Lin Fan.
During this time, the president just nodded along in an interested manner, not saying a thing as he listened.
