Chapter 98 - 98: Becoming A Noble
Lin Fan suddenly revealed what could be considered a warm smile as he looked at Mu Bo Hai.
Mu Bo Hai saw this and he thought that there would be a chance for negotiations, but what happened next completely shocked him.
Lin Fan's hand had already been raised since he was prepared to finish Feng Tu off. At first he slowly brought it down like he was prepared to let Feng Tu off, but suddenly it fell with incredible force, bringing the bone down right onto Feng Tu's head.
Feng Tu had had eyes of hope when he saw Mu Bo Hai appear. Those eyes of hope had been staring at Mu Bo Hai until he heard the sounds of the bone suddenly moving faster. Those eyes filled with hope had turned just to see his final moments of despair as the bone landed right in between his eyes.
The bone continued to smash down on his head until it shattered his skull and popped his head, creating a splash of blood and brain matter that stained the ground. Once his head had been popped, his body lifelessly dropped to the ground, perfectly lining up with the splash of blood and bone that had been his body.
In his final moments, he had been given the hope of life, but it had been taken away just like that. How could Feng Tu have died willingly?
He might have had peace if he had died after working up his conviction to die, but now that he had been given false hope, it shattered that conviction.
That was how a man who had acted arrogantly his entire life and bullied others with his position had finally lost his life.
Mu Bo Hai's hopeful look turned ugly and the two old men who had been with him suddenly came forward as one of them said, "You!"
But before they could do a thing, Angela released her stealth and suddenly appeared by Lin Fan's side.
Mu Bo Hai's eyes still ached from the beating, so he quickly raised his hand to stop them.
They looked at him in surprise, but once they felt the aura that was coming from Angela, they knew that Mu Bo Hai had just saved them.
Mu Bo Hai looked down on the corpse of Feng Tu on the ground before shaking his head with a sigh and saying, "I really wish you hadn't done that…"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Bo Hai, "I already told you that I would wipe out their family today, there was no other way. They had already crossed my bottom line."
Still Mu Bo Hai gave a sigh, "I know, but if he was still alive, the situation would be easier for the Union Government to accept."
Lin Fan's eyes filled with a cold glint, "But you and I both know that if he was left alive, he would have been a danger to me and my family in the future."
Mu Bo Hai looked right back into his eyes, "Don't you trust the Union Government? We have been protecting the Blue Star Planet for thousands of years, don't you think that we know what we're doing?"
Lin Fan said in the same cold voice, "The safest hands are my own. Who knows what will happen one day?"
For some reason, it was like the impulse to protect that he had when he saw the weak. When he was being challenged like this, there was an impulse that completely took over him and filled him with arrogance.
He didn't know where these impulses came from, but in a way, he also could tell that he couldn't suppress them at all. It was like these impulses came from the depths of his soul. Or, they could even be considered the real him…
Mu Bo Hai knew that there was no talking to Lin Fan like this, so he tried to reason with him instead, "But doesn't this go against what your master wants? Doesn't your master want to find a quiet place to recover his strength? If you keep creating waves like this, even the Union Government can't keep suppressing them, you know? It'll be really troublesome when the upper realm gets involved."
Thinking of the upper realm, Lin Fan suddenly calmed down a bit. When he met the young masters of the factions in the Inheritance Realm, they were already in the Legendary Realm. He could imagine what realm the elders or even the heads of their families would be at.
If they were to come down, Lin Fan would either be captured or forced to reveal the true strength he had in his shop, namely the power from other races. Once that was revealed, Lin Fan would definitely be labeled as a traitor to the human race and chased off this world.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't established another branch or did he have the ability to move his shop, so he had no choice but to remain on this world. Without his shop, he definitely would not become strong enough to protect all he cared about.
Lin Fan took a deep breath before calmly saying, "I know what you want to say, there's no point in mentioning useless things like this. Just tell me what conditions the Union Government has made."
Mu Bo Hai nodded in praise, "Sharp eyes, that's what I like about you. Very good, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Lin Fan raised his brow, but he still said, "Let's hear the good news first then."
Mu Bo Hai said with a smile, "Congratulations, the Union Government has approved of your application and from now on, you and your family will be nobles."
Lin Fan knit his brows slightly at this, but he didn't respond to it. Lin Fan just said, "What's the bad news then?"
Mu Bo Hai's smile suddenly turned bitter as he said, "The bad news is that you have to pay compensation for wiping out the Feng Family, namely you have to take over their part in protecting Snow Wind City. Of course, we know that you're not someone who will stay on this lower realm for long, so we won't force you to stay. The only thing we're asking is for the service of your pet shop."
Lin Fan had a confused look, "What service do you want?"
Mu Bo Hai's expression suddenly turned serious, "What else could it be? We want you to train or breed pets. To put it simply, you have to provide a certain amount of pets to the three royal families that are left and bolster their forces to make up for the loss created by the destruction of the Feng Family."
Lin Fan revealed a look of understanding and gave a nod.
This was rather simple, since he already had four Platinum Realm bloodline pets and several dozen Gold Realm pets, as well as plenty of ingredients that he didn't have. Even if they asked for more, it was very easy for him to breed more since he had everything he needed for them.
Lin Fan just calmly asked, "How much?"
Mu Bo Hai's expression was still serious as he said, "Three Platinum Realm pets and ten Gold Realm pets for all three families, that is the bottom line that the Union Government is willing to accept. What do you say, Owner Lin?"
Lin Fan just revealed a smile at that, "That's no problem at all, I already have a Platinum Realm pet for each of them and I have all the Gold Realm pets, but unfortunately they still haven't grown up yet."
Mu Bo Hai shook his head, "No that's fine, as long as they're pets with Platinum and Gold Realm bloodlines, it's already enough."
Then he gave a sigh and said, "Why does it feel like this is too cheap for you? It doesn't seem like a punishment at all."
Lin Fan said with a sly smile, "Then do you want to push your luck and ask for me?"
Mu Bo Hai looked at Angela who was cracking her knuckles from behind Lin Fan and he quickly shook his hands, "Of course not, of course not, we're already satisfied."
Then it was like he had thought of something, "Of course, we also need to take the Legendary Realm Artifact of the Feng Family."
Lin Fan turned to look at the broken Zephyr Blade on the ground before asking in a confused voice, "What do you need that broken blade for?"
Mu Bo Hai said in a voice filled with deep meaning, "We have our uses, let's just leave it at that."
Lin Fan could guess what they would use it for, but he didn't mind since he had no need for it anyway. Even if he could use it, he disdained from using it because he would think of the trash Feng Family every time.
So just like that, one of the four royal families of Snow Wind City had fallen and just like that, Lin Fan's pet shop had become legendary to the residents of the city.
From this day forth, no one in Snow Wind City would dare provoke him.
