With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 38 Paying The Debt (2)

After Lin Fan squatted down so that he was looking her right in the face, he said, "Where's the documents for Yue Lan's debt?"

The older woman had thought that Lin Fan would do something to her right away, so she had shrunken back. However, when she heard what Lin Fan said, she couldn't help being surprised by those words.

But seeing the cold look in Lin Fan's eyes, she didn't dare lie to him as she honestly said, "It's upstairs in the office."

Lin Fan gave a nod before reaching out to pick her up by the waist.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw this as she thought that he was going to hold her in a princess carry. Even if she was older than the girls who worked in this place, she was still considered a beauty since she was also someone who had worked in an establishment like this before.

But her hopes were shattered when Lin Fan put her over his shoulders and carried her like a piece of luggage.

Lin Fan brought her up the stairs and had her point out the office before heading into it.

Once they were there, he also had the older woman show him exactly where the contract for Yue Lan's debt was.

After finding the contract, Lin Fan set the older woman in the seat at the desk before putting the contract down in front of her.

The older woman was completely confused as to what Lin Fan wanted.

Lin Fan didn't care as he waved his hand and a pile of gold coins appeared on the table.

The older woman's eyes popped out since she had never seen this much money at once before.

Even if she had the contract for the debts of the girls in here, that didn't mean that she was the one handling all the money. Let alone the fact that there was no girl that had the same amount of debt as Yue Lan.

Her beauty was indeed at a different level, so the amount of debt she was restrained by was bigger than the rest.

Lin Fan ignored this look from her and said, "This is five thousand gold coins. Now her debt is repaid and she is mine."

After dropping the gold coins on the table, Lin Fan picked up the contract which he ripped to pieces. He let the pieces fall to the ground before turning around to head out the door, not giving the older woman a chance to speak.

Along the way, he nodded at Xiao Yue and Yue Lan who was being supported by Xiao Yue to follow him. They had been standing by the door the entire time and had seen everything that had happened.

Lin Fan didn't bother staying in this place any longer since he knew that wouldn't be a smart thing to do.

There was no doubt that the lord would find reinforcements to take revenge over what happened, so the first thing to do was to get to a safe place.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan decided to return to the inn since he was sure that they didn't know where they came from. Once they were in the inn, it was very unlikely that they would be able to find them quickly, so Lin Fan would have time to lay down his countermeasures.

But what he didn't know was that someone had been watching them the entire time and when he left the red light district, they immediately ran off to report back on what had just happened here.

Once he had brought Xiao Yue and Yue Lan back to the inn, Lin Fan left them there with Fuyuki to keep guard just in case anything happened. Then he left the inn and headed to the Mercenary Guild.

That was the only card that he could play in this situation since there was nothing else that was backing him.

He didn't know just how influential the father of the lord was, but he was certain that his father wouldn't be weak. After all, just the fact that he was able to assign a cultivator in the Third Qi Gathering Level to protect his son was enough to show what kind of power that he might have.

It was very likely that the father of this lord had cultivators that were far above Lin Fan's level working for him. If that was the case, he certainly wasn't someone that Lin Fan could face alone.

So the only thing he could rely on was the Mercenary Guild.

He was at least a Rank C Mercenary, so he assumed that the Mercenary Guild wouldn't remain idle when one of their members was being targeted like this. Not to mention that he was quite close to Tian Tian and Lala.

With this hope, Lin Fan headed to the Mercenary Guild.

When he arrived, he found that both Lala and Tian Tian were at the front desk.

When the two of them saw him, they revealed knowing smiles and waved him over.

Lin Fan was surprised to see them waving out to him like this, but he still headed over. After all, this was a good sign since it meant that they were at least close enough to wave to him like this.

After arriving at the reception desk, Lin Fan said with an awkward smile, "Hey, it's been a long time, how are you…"

But before he could finish, Tian Tian suddenly raised her hand to cut him off before saying, "Actually, we have something to talk to you about. Can you come to the back first?"

Lin Fan was confused when he heard this, but he also had a bad feeling.

Could it be that something was wrong?

Tian Tian left the matters at the receptionist desk to Lala before bringing Lin Fan to a room in the back that was used for guild matters.

After coming into this room, she had Lin Fan sit down while she went out to get some tea.

As Lin Fan was sitting there alone in the room, he couldn't help thinking about all the reasons why Tian Tian would bring him back here.

There were many reasons that he could think of, but his mind chose to focus on one.

Could it be that the Mercenary Guild already knew about his encounter with the lord? Could it be that they already knew that he had beaten him up?

This was a lord that was the son of someone with influence in this city. Compared to a Rank C Mercenary, if the other side really wanted to cause trouble for them, it was clear who they would choose.

The only hope that Lin Fan had was that since he had left them alive, the other side wouldn't pursue this matter that seriously since this was just a small matter. That way with the Mercenary Guild backing him, they would at least not cause too much trouble with him.

As for the small problems that would come, Lin Fan was confident in dealing with them.

But seeing how serious Tian Tian was, it seemed like this situation had reached the worst possible situation.

After making the tea and coming back to the room, she placed the tray with the tea on the table and then sat down on the couch in front of Lin Fan.

Both of them sat there in silence for a few minutes before Tian Tian suddenly said, "I heard that you had an encounter with the young master of the An Family just earlier."

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his back when he heard this.

While he didn't know who this young master of the An Family Tian Tian mentioned was, he had a good idea of who it could be.

It was most likely the young lord that he beat up earlier.

But that wasn't the reason why he felt the chill run down his back.

Rather it was because of the way Tian Tian said this.

For her to phrase it like this, it was clear that the Mercenary Guild already knew about what happened and it didn't seem like they would be backing him in this matter. The fact that she added in the An Family when she addressed this young lord was proof that he was from a family that had a strong influence.

Lin Fan was about to say something to explain this matter, but before he could, Tian Tian suddenly broke out in laughter.

Lin Fan was taken aback when he saw this and he just sat there in a daze, wondering what was going on.

Finally, when Tian Tian stopped laughing, she wiped a tear from her eye before saying, "Good job, I always hated that idiot. He's done many shameless things in the city and it was about time that someone took care of him."

"Eh?" That was all Lin Fan could say in response to this.

With how the matter was going, it almost seemed certain that the Mercenary Guild wouldn't support him.

But what was this situation?

After taking a bit of time to come back to his senses, Lin Fan tentatively asked, "Does the Mercenary Guild have an opinion on this matter?"

Tian Tian just looked at Lin Fan with a smile and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Fan didn't know how to respond to this because he was completely confused by this situation, he couldn't understand a single thing that was happening, but there were some vague ideas forming in his mind.

Tian Tian saw this look of thought on his face and gave another laugh before waving her hand in front of her.

When she did, there was a pile of gold coins that appeared on the table.
