A group of young masters came together to Lin Fan's new store.
They weren't complete fools.
They knew that for Lin Fan to receive this kind of treatment, he must have a certain amount of background. So if they were to target him alone, they might be the ones that suffered.
However, if they all came together and used their combined influence to suppress him…
Even if he had a strong backer, it was impossible for him to resist all of their families together.
That was unless he was backed by the Ku Stellar King himself.
But of course, not a single one of these young masters thought that this was possible.
They all remembered who was important to the Mu Stellar King.
This was a tense time for their Mu Stellar Kingdom in terms of politics since the current Mu Stellar King was famous for not having many close subordinates. If they were able to approach him during this time, they would certainly be able to benefit.
So they memorized the few people that were close to him so they would not offend them.
This person was clearly not one of those people.
So they were filled with confidence to deal with Lin Fan.
Still, they had their own reputations to worry about, so they couldn't make their provocation too clear. They had to at least still use dirty tricks that would be hard to argue against.
Which was why they gathered at his store while everyone was paying attention to it.
As for their plan, it was naturally to embarrass him by giving him requests that were far beyond his capacities to force him away.
As long as he was here, he was a competitor for their battle glory and they wouldn't allow that.
Lin Fan had been in the middle of organizing the new store when the door suddenly burst open and these young masters came in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Fan narrowed his eyes to see who it was, but seeing that they were wearing the Mu Stellar Kingdom's uniforms and the badges signifying their ranks, he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, we're not open yet. Please come back tomorrow if you want your pet trained."
Hearing this, all of the young masters revealed faint smiles.
The only thing that they could think when they saw this kind of Lin Fan was…pushover.
Which was naturally a good thing for them since they were planning on putting him in his place.
It was just too bad that they were about to kick a steel board instead and they didn't even know it.
So one of the young masters that had the highest rank came forward and said, "Well, we wanted to take a look at the newbie that was sent out here all of a sudden."
He came forward until he was in front of Lin Fan and then looking at him, he said with a smile, "But it seems like you aren't that much."
Lin Fan just said with the same smile, "Well, I'm not a soldier. I'm just here to provide support."
The young master nodded before saying, "But are you really as good as they say you are?"
Lin Fan's smile became more mysterious as he said, "Well, you'll just have to wait and see."
The way that Lin Fan said this almost made the young master feel like he was being talked down to. Like Lin Fan was a senior even though he looked younger than this young master.
How could the prideful young master possibly accept this?
There was a fierce look that flashed in his eyes, but it also quickly disappeared. He once again revealed a smile and said to Lin Fan, "This brother, how about giving us a demonstration of your abilities? I'm sure that we'll feel much more at ease if you show what you're capable of."
After he said this, all the others around him gave nods and spoke up to support him.
Lin Fan secretly shook his head and gave a sigh.
How could he not know what these kids were here to do? He was able to see through their intentions with just a single look.
But of course, it wasn't as if he could just beat them all up. They were soldiers of the Mu Stellar Kingdom army and he was just a private contractor.
There was a disparity in status even if there was the Mu Stellar King behind him.
So he couldn't just beat them up and throw them out.
He had tried meditating with them, but since they wouldn't accept the glass he raised, then he had no choice but to use methods that were a bit more forceful.
Ying on the side watched all of this and couldn't help feeling sorry for them.
Even though Lin Fan only released the aura of someone in the True Soul Realm, she knew that he was in the World Realm since the Mu Stellar King had already told her about this.
But even if he really was only in the True Soul Realm, that was still more than enough to take care of these young masters who were only in the Child Soul Realm.
She couldn't help being amazed by how dumb and arrogant these young masters were. At the same time, she also started feeling a bit worried about their chances to win if these were the kinds of commanders that they had…
It seemed like she would need to send back a report to the Mu Stellar King.
Lin Fan just gave a sigh and said, "Then how should I prove it?"
The young master revealed a smile when he heard this.
As they had expected, this person sent here really was a pushover.
Since that was the case, as long as they were put in their place, it wouldn't be hard to turn them into a lackey.
They had to admit that this person's backing was special if he was able to get a building like this. If they made this person their lackey, then that would help them raise their own position.
All of these young masters had been sent here to earn battle glory for their family, so if there were more benefits for them to claim, they had no reason not to claim it. After all, to them, Lin Fan was a pushover that they could easily bring under their fold.
The lead young master called out a large tiger before saying, "I heard that your ability is to train pets, so I was wondering if you could help me train this tiger of mine."
Though he said this with a kind smile on his face, he had already sent a secret message through the connection with his tiger. The tiger also had a fierce look as it looked at Lin Fan, almost as if it was looking at prey.
As for the order that the young master had given it…Naturally it was to mess with Lin Fan as much as possible.
Lin Fan however wasn't afraid at all. He even looked at the tiger with a bit of pity for choosing to follow this idiot, but he didn't shy away from this challenge.
He walked over to the young master and said, "So you want me to train this tiger now?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe young master gave a shrug and said, "If you're saying that you can't, then we don't have a choice…"
Lin Fan cut him off by saying with a smile, "That's not a problem, but you should pay my fee first before I do that."
The young master knitted his brows when he heard this. He looked at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes first, but seeing that he didn't flinch at all, he asked, "Fee? What do you mean by that?"
Lin Fan patiently explained, "You're asking for a service, so of course you'll be charged a fee." He pointed at the prices on the counter and said, "As you can see, the prices are right there. Feel free to pay however you want to pay."
The young master looked at it before saying in a shocked voice, "Ten thousand spirit stones?! Are you kidding me?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this and just waited for the young master's reaction.
The young master realized his mistake and gritted his teeth to say, "Don't you think that this is too expensive?"
Lin Fan calmly said, "These are the prices that your Mu Stellar Army agreed to, so there's nothing that we can do there. Of course, since we're all friends here, I can give you a slight discount." The young masters were about to reveal a smile and say something, but their expressions froze the moment that they heard what Lin Fan said next, "Let's just say nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine spirit stones. I think that's a fair price."
This was bare provocation.
He wasn't even trying to hide it, he was clearly provoking them by giving them this price!
The young masters couldn't understand what was happening. They had all thought that Lin Fan was a pushover, but what was with this behaviour?
The lead young master couldn't back down now, so he had no choice but to double down. So he said with a fierce smile, "Is that so? Then I really have to thank you." He secretly patted his tiger and said, "But I have to say that my tiger really has a bit of a temper. He's not easily controlled, let alone train…"
Before he could finish his words, the tiger suddenly jumped out at Lin Fan with its claws raised and mouth open.
The other young masters all revealed faint smiles when they saw this and just waited to watch Lin Fan suffer.
The lead young master had given the order to the tiger to attack Lin Fan just now, so he also had the same smile in his eyes. However, he said with a worried look, "Brother, please be careful!"
The tiger was confident as it jumped at Lin Fan since it couldn't sense any threat from him. But midway through its flight, it suddenly felt a chill run down its spine.
It trembled as it flew, but it was already too late for it to stop.
This feeling though, it was as if it was about to die…
Lin Fan just casually raised his fist as he looked at the tiger.
He had already seen the secret movements of the young master, so he already expected this to happen.
He looked at the tiger with narrowed eyes and just casually punched out.
All of the smiles on the faces of the young masters froze at the same time. All of their faces couldn't help twitching as they watched the tiger fly right past them before sliding to a stop on the ground.
