BXBX NOVEL 37 Chapter 37
The next morning was normal for the store, but Lin Fan had his guard up a bit since he was expecting the Zhao Family to come at any moment.
After sending off the daily crowd in the morning, the store fell into silence once again.
But what he never expected was that when it rained, it poured.
After a quiet morning, there was a sudden wave of people who came at the beginning of the afternoon.
Before they even came in, there were two groups that stopped in front of each other outside, glaring at one another without saying a word before entering the shop, trying to ignore the other party as much as possible.
There was also one person who ignored both sides and came in alone, wandering around the shop like he was looking for something.
This sudden influx of customers naturally caught Lin Fan\'s attention.
But it didn\'t just stop there, as more and more customers continued to enter the shop. There were some that were like the first two groups, glaring at each other before wandering around the shop on their own. There were also some that came together to talk when they saw a certain group, like they had been long time friends.
Of course, there was an uneasiness that filled the shop as everyone was on guard against each other.
After a few groups had come, Brainy sent a signal to Lin Fan, telling him that the Zhao Family was also here.
The member of the Zhao Family sent here was very surprised to see so many people that he knew and they weren\'t just normal people.
The Zhao Family hadn\'t gone to the banquet last night, so this member that had come today didn\'t know why there were so many nobles gathered in this shop today. He had thought that just a little display of strength would be enough to scare Lin Fan into handing over the treasure, but now it seemed like he needed to be careful.
All the other families were being wary of each other. Naturally they had come from the Mu Bo Hai\'s recommendation, but so far they hadn\'t seen anything that made them believe this store was worth this recommendation, but no one dared to take Mu Bo Hai\'s words lightly, especially with how he praised this store.
Some of the smarter people sent out their spiritual senses, but they found that they couldn\'t find a single thing from the owner nor could they send their senses into the back. Rather when their spiritual senses touched Lin Fan, it triggered a strong reaction that instantly scattered their spiritual senses.
All of them were direct descendants of noble families, which meant that the weakest among them were still in the low Silver Realm. However, they still couldn\'t see through Lin Fan. They were slowly coming to understand why Mu Bo Hai had been filled with praise for this shop, it didn\'t seem as simple as it seemed.
Finally, one of the more impatient young masters couldn\'t take it anymore and he came up to Lin Fan, arrogantly saying, "Hey shopkeeper, why would Lord Mu recommend a rundown store like yours?"
Lin Fan looked at him with a confused look as he said, "Lord Mu, who is that?"
The young master gave a snort before taking out his token, "Do you see this? This is the token of the Ding Family, one of the top noble families in this city. I\'ll give you one chance, sell this store to me or don\'t blame me for being impolite."
Lin Fan immediately knit his brows as he looked at this Young Master Ding like he was looking at an idiot.
On the side, the ones who had tried using their spiritual sense to see through Lin Fan looked on with expectation. Since there was someone dumb enough to take the lead, why wouldn\'t they use him to test Lin Fan?
As for the rest of the people, some were angry that they didn\'t take the first step and there were some that were waiting to see what happened.
The Ding Family was actually only a middle ranked noble family, so there were plenty of other noble families who were confident in dealing with him. Even if the Ding Family got this store from that weak looking owner, they could just plot to take it from the Ding Family before they could offer it to Lord Mu.
Lin Fan just asked with a frown, "What are you talking about? Why would I sell my store?"
Young Master Ding gave a cold snort, "You\'re just a simple store owner and you\'re asking this many questions? Well I\'ll tell you now that your store for some reason has attracted the attention of the great Lord Mu, a Legendary Realm Expert! That\'s right, a Legendary Realm Expert! If you give me this store now, I\'ll be sure to mention you when I offer it to Lord Mu."
Young Master Ding said all this since he wanted to use Lord Mu to scare this little shop owner into giving up his store for free. Since he would be getting on Lord Mu\'s good side this time, why not start reaping the rewards now?
Lin Fan knit his brows even deeper. That old man yesterday had just asked him to be his disciple and now he was sending nobles to come take his store? How could someone change faces that fast?
Lin Fan just had a cold look on his face as he said, "What if I don\'t want to give up my store?"
Young Master Ding narrowed his eyes and looked at him with disdain, "Do you have a say in this? A little ant like you can\'t do a single thing."
Lin Fan had a dangerous glint in his eyes, "You\'ll find that this little ant can do more than you think."
Young Master Ding\'s expression immediately turned to rage when he heard what Lin Fan said. This piece of trash was daring to talk back and threaten him? Him, the young master of the prestigious Ding Family?!
Young Master Ding just ignored Lin Fan and turned to his lackeys, "Break his legs and take the deed to the shop, then throw him out."
The lackeys moved towards Lin Fan with their hands raised. These lackeys weren\'t considered weak since they were in the Bronze Realm, but in front of Lin Fan, they were just like pieces of paper.
Lin Fan could have just had the store defenses take care of these idiots, but he decided to show off a bit of his strength to deter the others. He could tell that the other customers were also from noble families and they were quite focused on the results of this. Since they wanted to test his store, he would give them a show.
When the lackeys were about to put their hands on Lin Fan, he suddenly grabbed the hand that was about to touch him and twisted the lackey in the air before slamming him onto the second closest lackey.
The lackeys couldn\'t even react in time and by the time they knew what was going on, the lackeys were already lying on the ground and Lin Fan was back in his original position.
Lin Fan looked at Young Master Ding with a raised brow and asked, "Just with you?"
A vein popped out on Young Master Ding\'s forehead as he slowly lost his temper, "You dare attack members of my Ding Family? Do you know what you have just done?"
Lin Fan just said, "So what if you\'re the Ding Family, you think I\'m easy to bully?"
Young Master Ding released his silver life energy and charged out at Lin Fan without saying a word.
As his fist approached Lin Fan\'s face, Lin Fan suddenly disappeared from in front of him and he felt his arm being pulled by something as it was pulled behind him.
When Young Master Ding realized what had happened, Lin Fan had him trapped with his arm being forced behind him.
Young Master Ding tried to say, "You, you dare to…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan pushed his arm higher until it snapped before letting go.
Young Master Ding screamed in pain as he clutched his arm before looking at Lin Fan with a gaze of rage, but Lin Fan didn\'t let him do a single thing.
With a single kick from Lin Fan, he snapped the bone in Young Master Ding\'s other arm.
Young Master Ding was slouched over on the ground with both hands hanging weakly at his side as he screamed in pain.
Lin Fan didn\'t care about this at all as he picked up Young Master Ding and his lackeys. He carried Young Master Ding and the lackeys over to the door and then threw them out before turning to everyone else in the store, while releasing his life energy.
Being surrounded in that gold life energy, Lin Fan said, "Anyone else?"
But all that answered him was silence.
