60 Chapter 60

A week had passed since that fight at the Gao Manor.

After everything had settled, the Feng Family surprisingly hadn't made a move yet.

They hadn't even sent someone to the Gao Family to retaliate, not to mention sending someone to scout out Lin Fan's store.

It was like the incident had never happened.

But this kind of situation made Lin Fan worry even more.

There was no way the Feng Family with their intelligence network wouldn't be able to find out what happened, especially with all those witnesses. Moreover, this was one of their limited few Platinum Realm Experts that they had lost, this was not something they could accept that easily.

Yet there was no response from them at all.

During this week, Lin Fan had been heading to the Gao Family during the nights to consolidate their cooperation.

Most of the Gao Family's business were in running training schools and practice arenas, which made sense once one thought about what kind of personality this family had.

Since Lin Fan himself could be considered a physical cultivator with how strong his body was, he had given some of his experience to the Gao Family to teach in their schools.

They had even used the fact that Lin Fan had beaten a Platinum Realm Expert as advertisement, yet the Feng Family still did nothing.

While it did make a few people hesitant to come, the fact that Lin Fan had killed a Platinum Realm Expert was a well known fact and that didn't stop many people seeking strength to come to the Gao Family's training schools. Business had soared during this time since everyone thought that the Feng Family wouldn't be able to get back at everyone who joined if there were enough of them.

But none of that matter to Lin Fan since what he really cared about was the influence that the Gao Family had. The favour that Lin Fan had asked was for Head Gao to use the influence of the Gao Family to apply for the status of a noble from the Union Government.

While Lin Fan disdained the nobles for how they acted, he had to admit that nobles received the best benefits.

Once nobles received their title, they had access to various services offered by the Union Government.

The most important thing was that nobles received a discount on everything they purchased through these channels and that these channels connected all the nobles in the world. Compared to the normal market, there were many rare things that would never appear on the public market that were in these channels. Then add in the discount which the Union Government offered, which was paid by them, so no nobles lost money selling through these channels.

This system was made to encourage nobles to become stronger and to encourage those that weren't nobles to work hard to become nobles.

It was a system that rewarded those on top.

The Union Government had to take note of this application once it came in since Lin Fan was someone who could even fight Platinum Realm Experts, that was a power that couldn't be ignored.

The key part of the noble and royalty system was that it bound those that applied for it to a promise of defending their world. This world was still being invaded by the Beast Clan and humanity needed to be united in their fight against their invaders, otherwise their home would fall.

Lin Fan personally had no problem with this since he had personally witnessed how bad life would be for the human race if the Beast Clan invaded, so he would do his best to protect his family.

Also during this time, Lin Fan had been visiting the Gao Manor with Angela every night.

When they appeared for the first time together, everyone couldn't believe that they were together since Angela was just too beautiful.

Even Boss Gao came over and asked, "Miss, are you sure you're at the right place?" He just couldn't believe that Angela would be with Lin Fan.

Angela found this funny while Lin Fan had dark lines on his face.

Angela turned over to Lin Fan and said, "See, even these lowly humans know who their superior is."

Lin Fan couldn't refute this since technically speaking, she really was their superior. She was probably someone who was at the peak of this large universe and he was just a lowly human in a mortal world.

But eventually people came to accept that Angela was here with Lin Fan. Even though they accepted it, they didn't fully "accept" it. They all still thought that Angela could do better than Lin Fan.

The reason why the two of them had been coming to the Gao Manor daily was to help cure Boss Gao's mother.

Boss Gao's mother had been poisoned by great elder Gao as part of his plot and while Head Gao had managed to stabilize her condition, her body was still weakened and she was still in danger.

That was why Lin Fan had been bringing Angela along the entire time, but of course he had to bribe her with quite a few things, namely food. Angela had recently discovered cakes and now she's been eating through several whole cakes each day.

It was also a good thing that Lin Fan was also earning a share from the Gao Family's business, otherwise he wouldn't be able to feed the blakc hole that was Angela.

But Angela was a spirit, which was the embodiment of nature. She had been using natural life energy to heal Boss Gao's mother and she was finally done with her treatment after an entire week.

After the treatment was done, Boss Gao brought Mei Rou to see his mother along with everyone.

The moment Boss Gao's mother saw their group, the first one to catch her eyes was Angela as she said, "Ho, such a pretty girl. Are you my little Fu Shuai's girlfriend?"

Angela immediately revealed a look of disdain and a bit of disgust. She really couldn't stand anyone even thinking that she was dating Boss Gao. If anything she would rather have them think she was dating Lin Fan.

But then she revealed a confused look as she pondered over why her first thought was Lin Fan.

Meanwhile, Mei Rou on the side revealed a disappointed look.

She had wanted to make a good impression on her future mother in law, but it seemed like she really couldn't make the cut.

But she didn't blame Angela because when she saw Angela the first time, she was completely defeated. She couldn't believe that there was such a pretty girl in this world.

However, Boss Gao tightly held her hand and brought her forward to stand in front of his mother as he said, "Mom, it's not her. This is Mei Rou, she's my girlfriend."

Boss Gao's mother sized up Mei Rou who was nervously looking down and then Boss Gao's mother said with a smile, "Well, she's quite the beauty isn't she. She's definitely better than what you deserve."

Mei Rou quickly looked up and waved her hands, "No, no, Big Brother Gao is really kind and treats me well, he's the one who's too good for me."

Boss Gao's mother broke out in laughter before saying, "Look at that, she's even got such a good personality! She's definitely too good for you!"

Lin Fan watched as they teased each other and felt that his decision to ally himself with the Gao Family truly was a good one.

This was a family that was simple and honest and even if they had a few members that were quite sly, most of them were quite loyal.

Allying himself with them was much better than allying with those families who lied straight to your face.

After a while, Boss Gao's mother chased everyone else out of the room and only had Mei Rou stay so she could get to know her better.

As Lin Fan, Angela, and Boss Gao walked out of the room, Angela was walking in a daze.

Lin Fan saw this and moved his head in, putting his hand on her forehead, "Is something wrong? Are you sick?"

Angela couldn't help blushing when she realized what had happened and then she punched Lin Fan in the gut, but it really was a light punch, "Who do you think you're touching?"

Boss Gao watched the two of them with a knowing smile. It was clear to everyone around, but it was only the two of them who didn't understand.

Of course, it wasn't any of his business and he really didn't want to be punched by Angela. He had seen the life energy she released and could tell that she was an expert just like Lin Fan.

After watching them for a while, Boss Gao gave a soft cough before saying with a serious look, "Brother Lin, what do we do about the Feng Family?"

Lin Fan stopped arguing with Angela and turned back to Boss Gao. He said with a sigh, "We can't attack them, so the only thing we can do is wait, but isn't this taking too long? They clearly know where we are, just what are they thinking!"

Boss Gao was confused, "Isn't it a good thing if they don't come? Doesn't that give us more time to gather our forces?"

Lin Fan said with a serious look, "It also gives them time to gather their forces. A blade hidden is more dangerous than a blade in the open."
