Cultivation Pet Shop

The fourth elder Jiang Hei's face twisted when he heard this.

This brat had actually turned his words around.

With the way he phrased it, it sounded like he was here on behalf of the Jiang Family to offer compensation to this store, not the other way around.

Jiang Hei's face twisted even further the more he thought about this and he was so choked up with rage that he didn't even know what to say. He was like a kettle boiling water and it seemed like the kettle would burst with steam at any moment.

Naturally he wouldn't take this from just a simple employee of this shop, so Jiang Hei exploded, but he didn't break out roaring like a normal person would. Instead Jiang Hei's face turned completely dark and he said in a cold voice, "You think you're smart? What do you think will happen when your owner betrays you and hands you over to our Jiang Family for this? Do you really think the owner of a small pet shop like this will protect a small employee like you in front of our Jiang Family?"

Lin Fan wasn't worried at all as he calmly said with a faint smile, "I have faith in my boss."

Jiang Hei gave a cold laugh when he heard this and he immediately said, "You really overestimate yourself. Do you really think that trash like you is worth anything in the face of the Jiang Family?"

Lin Fan then said, "Well it'd be hard for the boss to give me up seeing as I am the boss."

Jiang Hei had still been laughing when he had heard this and the moment he did, his face completely twisted. It was like he had eaten a lemon candy that was just too sour for him and his face scrunched up like it had folded in on itself.

After a few seconds of being shocked, Jiang Hei quickly recovered himself and said, "Humph, it seems like the quality of the store is defined by the qualities of the owner. I'm not surprised that someone like you owns a store like this, but how do you plan on giving our Jiang Family an answer for what happened yesterday?"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "What answer do I need to give the Jiang Family? He's the one who came in here to cause trouble, all I did was take care of the trash."

Jiang Hei's face turned darker when he heard this and he said in a cold voice, "Are you certain that this is the response that you want to give?"

Lin Fan just calmly looked him in the eyes and said, "So you're not here to compensate me then?"

Jiang Hei gave a cold snort and didn't hesitate as he raised his hand, sending out his palm at Lin Fan's chest.

Lin Fan didn't panic as he also calmly raised his fist and sent it out right at his palm.

Lin Fan could have used the defenses system of the store to easily take care of him, but he specifically shut them off. He also had to show off a bit of his power as well, otherwise they would take him for a pushover.

The fist and palm clashed and there was a split second of balance before the fist completely broke through the palm, sending Jiang Hei flying back.

But this wasn't the same as the defense system, Jiang Hei was only pushed back a few steps before he stabilized himself. However, when he did stabilize himself, he stood there for a second before suddenly clutching his chest as a sliver of blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

In that clash just now, he had been injured internally by Lin Fan.

When Jiang Hei looked back up at Lin Fan, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

It had to be known that he was one of the elders of the Jiang Family and a high Platinum Realm Expert. When it came to Rock Mountain City, he was one of the top experts there, but Lin Fan had not only easily broken his attack, he had also injured him.

Then there was how easily the store had dissipated his attack without suffering a single scratch.

It was clear that this store wasn't as simple as it looked.

After thinking for a bit, Jiang Hei didn't continue to fight as he said, "Do you know what you're doing right now?"

Lin Fan just stood there behind the counter, looking calmly at Jiang Hei as he said, "Throwing out the trash?"

Jiang Hei didn't let it affect him this time since he knew what Lin Fan was doing. Instead, he said in a very calm voice, "Do you really think you'll be able to survive in Rock Mountain City after this? Even with your backing, do you really think you can go against the entire Jiang Family?"

It was only then that Lin Fan had taken a step forward, coming out from behind the counter.

For some unknown reason, when Lin Fan did take that step forward, Jiang Hei couldn't help taking a step back. He didn't know why, but there seemed to be a pressure that came from Lin Fan that even scared him.

Lin Fan took another step as he calmly said, "Is there anything special about the Jiang Family? If one comes, I will beat one. If two comes, I will beat two!"

Jiang Hei couldn't help being taken aback like this since this was the first time he had seen this attitude from anyone when he brought out the Jiang Family.

At this moment, he really didn't know what to do.

His biggest card had been completely ignored and if he was asked to beat Lin Fan, his answer would be to ask if you were crazy?

Beat Lin Fan, he had already lost the first clash, how was he supposed to do that?

But he also couldn't just back down now since this was a matter that involved the Jiang Family's pride and reputation.

Where had a maniac like this come from?

While Jiang Hei was considering what to do, there was a voice that suddenly came from the door, one that Jiang Hei was familiar with.

Qiang You said in a calm voice, "Now, how about we end the matter here today?"

Jiang Hei turned to the source of the voice and he was shocked to find that Qiang You was here.

Qiang You was the president of the Seekers Union, he was naturally very busy as the leader of the second most powerful force in Rock Mountain City. How could he have time to show up here?

Actually, the Seekers Union had sent their group to buy pets as usual, but Qiang You had received a report from an unknown source that Jiang Hei was heading to Lin Fan's shop.

While this was just unconfirmed information, he did know about what had happened yesterday, so it was very likely to be true.

Now that Lin Fan was a close partner of his, he couldn't just leave Lin Fan out to dry, so he had come with this group early in the morning. But now it seemed like he had come late.

However, even though he had come late, he had also seen Lin Fan's power and he was shocked by it.

This young man who was the owner of the store was also a Platinum Realm Expert, there really was something special about this store…

But this wasn't the time for it.

Jiang Hei's  face scrunched up once again when he had heard what Qiang You said.

Naturally, as the leader of the second strongest force in Rock Mountain City, Qiang You's words held weight and there wasn't a need to mention that he was even here personally.

Still, Jiang Hei couldn't back off so easily.

Jiang Hei said, "Qiang You, are you really tearing away all face with the Jiang Family over this small store? Do you understand what is going on right now?"

Qiang You however still gave a smile as he said, "Owner Lin's store is currently an important business partner of the Seekers Union." After saying this, that smile suddenly turned cold as he continued, "If you really want to do this, you have to ask my Seekers Guild for permission first."

Jiang Hei couldn't believe what he had just heard.

The mighty Seekers Union, an organization that had an upper realm faction behind them was breaking off all face with the Jiang Family, another organization with an upper realm faction behind them for a little pet shop?

What was going on today?

Had the world gone mad?

In the end, Jiang Hei knew that he wouldn't be able to do a thing today and if he were to start a full war with the Seekers Guild, the Jiang Family would definitely hold him accountable.

After what had happened with Jiang Feng, his branch was already on thin ice and he couldn't afford the consequences of this right now.

Jiang Hei paused for a second before giving a cold snort. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground before walking towards the door.

However, Lin Fan wasn't done with him yet.

As he walked away, there was a sudden barrier that appeared in front of him that seemed to be a warp in space.

He tried to turn around, but he found that he was completely trapped in walls of frozen space.

Lin Fan came forward and grabbed him by the collar, slamming him down on the ground to wipe off the bit of blood there before throwing him out.

After throwing him out, he came up to the door and said, "Remember my words, I'll beat every single one of you that comes."
