Chapter 121 - I, Lin Fan, Am Not a Cold-Hearted Person
At Scaled Dragon Lake, the calm lake appeared completely unremarkable. In some people’s opinion, it was a very beautiful place; fish could be swimming joyfully in its clear water.
But if one really thought so, they couldn’t be any more wrong.
Scaled Dragon Lake was famous for its Gorefiend Dragons. Once, a couple playing in the water was suddenly swallowed in one go; the lake was dyed red with their blood. Only then did it come to everyone’s notice.
However, the Gorefiend Dragons hid in the depths of Scaled Dragon Lake; no one had caught sight of them, ever. And no one dared to go down. The last Gorefiend Dragon was only killed after luring it out with everyone’s help, but now, it would be harder to kill even more than it was before; after all, the remaining Gorefiend Dragon must have wised up.
Song Zhenshan advised, looking at the people around him, “All unconcerned people, please keep your distance or you might get accidentally injured. The Gorefiend Dragon is vicious.” Then, he switched to warning in a second, “If I see someone steal our kill when we are attacking it, don’t blame us for not showing mercy.”
Sweet talk was necessary, and so was the warning.
No decent person could be found in Cumulus Bazaar. Everyone cared about how they could bring themselves benefit and harm others. Anything could happen here.
Mo Lingyu said, “The Gorefiend Dragon is hiding in Scaled Dragon Lake. We can’t do anything if it doesn’t come out.”
“Look, this Gorefiend Dragon is bleeding, it isn’t heavily injured, is it?”
“What!? How is this possible? Why is the Gorefiend Dragon injured? Song Zhenshan and his team has hit it big time. This Gorefiend Dragon has suffered injuries.”
While everyone was whispering to each other, Song Zhenshan and his team were overjoyed at the first notice of this scene. “The Gorefiend Dragon is injured, attack.”
Bang!
The four bounced back up, charging straight at the Gorefiend Dragon, displaying their respective supernatural power.
But right at that moment, the lake exploded once again as a figure flew into the air and shouted, “All of you can f*** off, this is mine.”
Song Zhenshan and the others were momentarily started. They suddenly felt a fearsome force blowing on their faces like a wave. The violent energy took them by surprise. They were immediately pushed back by that terrifying force, pushing them back on the ground.
“Gorefiend Dragon, let’s see if you can still survive after this.” Lin Fan gave chase as a giant palm grabbed a hold of the Gorefiend Dragon’s tail.
The Gorefiend Dragon struggled and roared when it felt this pull. But as a matter a fact, horror could be found in its roars.
Lin Fan, unleashing his entire strength, tightened his hold and jumped high up into the air before slamming the Gorefiend Dragon straight to the ground.
“Go to hell.”
The dozen-feet-long body of the Gorefiend Dragon cut through the air and crashed fiercely into the ground like a braided rope.
Boom!
The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded at the sight of this scene; all they could feel was the ground quaking under their feet.
“It’s Gentleman Lin.” When Mo Lingyu caught sight of the figure, she immediately covered her mouth, a look of disbelief plastered on her face.
Uncle Cheng was even more shocked. He never expected Gentleman Lin to be here attacking Gorefiend Dragon already.
And by the looks of it, the Gorefiend Dragon seemed to be in its death throes already.
Roar!
The Gorefiend Dragon let out a miserable wail as it started coughing blood. It kept clawing on the ground, trying to escape into the distance, but its body kept being pulled back.
“You still want to run? Get over here!” Lin Fan, holding the tail of the Gorefiend Dragon, pulled the Gorefiend Dragon over violently, just like a tug of war.
Immediately after, he took his mace out of the storage ring and smashed it straight on the Gorefiend Dragon’s head, splattering its brain and blood all over the ground.
“So cruel, so strong!”
“Who is this guy? Even the fearsome Gorefiend Dragon was slayed so easily.”
“This…”
Everyone was already astounded, and some were even finding it impossible to believe. In their opinion, this guy was truly strong.
Points +500
Lin Fan halted his movements and looked about; he didn’t expect to see such a crowd here.
He had been trapped by the Gorefiend Dragon since last night. After somehow piling up enough points, he directly comprehended the Magic of the Seven Gods and entered Invincible Mode, wreaking havoc. In the end, the Gorefiend Dragon wanted to escape, which was nothing more than a dream.
And when he caught sight of Miss Mo here, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart. Ah, the bankroller is also here, the deal can be finished right away.
Immediately, Lin Fan smashed the Gorefiend Dragon’s head into nothing, took its fist-sized inner core out, and dragged the corpse of the Gorefiend Dragon to Mo Lingyu.
“Miss Mo, our transaction is complete. Take this Gorefiend Dragon Inner Core and give me the money,” Lin Fan said, stretching his hand out.
Mo Lingyu’s eyes turned dull, looking at Gentleman Lin’s bloody face and the Gorefiend Dragon back and forth. For a while, she didn’t know how to react.
Song Zhenshan and his team were also anxious after having seen the Gorefiend Dragon brutally hammered to death. They didn’t want all of their work to go down the drain. So, they immediately shouted.
“Miss Mo, we were invited by you. Although we didn’t kill the Gorefiend Dragon, we didn’t work for nothing.”
Lin Fan withdrew the Gorefiend Dragon Inner Core as soon as he heard this. There was a dissatisfied look on his face as he rebuked, “Miss Mo, what the hell is this? Is it because you didn’t trust me? I, Lin Fan, always do what I say, I have never missed an appointment. You are humiliating me like this. Eighteen million is a pretty big sum.”
Uncle Cheng hurriedly explained, “Mr. Lin, our Miss didn’t mean to humiliate you.”
Miss Mo apologized, “Gentleman Lin, please forgive me, it’s this little girl’s mistake for not thinking about it properly. This little girl is grateful to Gentleman Lin for killing the Gorefiend Dragon so quickly.” Then, she immediately took out a stack of bills and continued, “I hope this will compensate Gentleman Lin for all the trouble we have caused.”
Lin Fan might have been maintaining a displeased look, but he was counting it secretly; apparently, it was thirty million. Lin Fan’s heart was brimming with joy. He heaved a sigh and said, “Forget it, Miss Mo is also eager to save her father. I, Lin Fan, am not a cold-hearted person. This Gorefiend Dragon Inner Core is yours.”
Afterward, he took the stack of bills and threw it into his storage ring casually while maintaining a nonchalant look, showing that he didn’t care about it at all.
“Money and riches don’t mean anything to me. However, I admire Miss Mo’s conduct very much. It would be disrespectful to decline Miss Mo’s kind intentions.”
Lin Fan’s wording and actions didn’t have a single flaw. They were very normal and ordinary.
But it showed Lin Fan’s unique temperament of treating money as nothing.
Mo Lingyu leaned forward and thanked in a gentle voice, “Thank you for being so understanding, Gentleman Lin.”
Lin Fan just nodded with a mhmm, showing his generosity.
