Lin Fan knitted his brows the moment that he heard this and he stopped the village chief from talking by raising his hand.
The village chief was taken aback by Lin Fan suddenly cutting him off, but he was smart enough to hold his mouth after being cut off by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan listened closely for the source of this moaning and soon he found the door that it was coming from.
The moment that the village chief saw Lin Fan heading for that door, he immediately shouted out, “Wait, don’t go in there!”
But it wasn’t as if he could do anything to stop Lin Fan. Not to mention that it was already too late since Lin Fan was already standing in front of the door and turning the knob to open it.
The first thing that hit Lin Fan after he opened the door was the smell that came from inside.
It was a smell that smelled like a public washroom that hadn’t been cleaned for a month. It was the kind of smell that could physically knock the wind out of a person, pushing them back a few steps.
But after that initial hit, Lin Fan realized that there was a different smell mixed in with this smell.
There was a hint of blood and…semen…
Still, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan was planning on smelling this scent forever, so he quickly reached his hand up and covered his nose. Though, this didn’t really help that much with blocking the scent. At least it was a bit better after he used his spiritual energy to form a barrier that helped keep out most of the scent.
He looked around the room, but it was quite dark in here, so he had to channel his spiritual energy into his eyes first.
At first, he couldn’t see much in the room other than three figures. However, as his vision started to light up as he channeled his spiritual energy into his eyes, he saw the true appearance of these three figures.
Even with his Max Level Mental Fortitude, it was a sight that he couldn’t help being a bit disgusted by.
These were three female figures that had been completely stripped of any clothes. They had collars on their necks with chains that were connected to the ground behind them and their four limbs also had chains on them. The chains on their limbs were deliberately kept short so that they would be forced to crawl on the ground, but they were still long enough that these girls could move a few inches around them.
There were bowls with traces of food and water in them, along with buckets beside these bowls that were clearly meant for them to do their business.
But the most shocking thing about these girls were the blindfolds that were placed on their eyes. One might not be able to see it right away, but if one looked clearly, they would be able to see the dried blood that was congealed on the sides of the blindfold.
It didn’t take much thought for Lin Fan to realize what this meant. Or rather, what they had done to these girls that they had trapped in this cellar.
There was an intense rage that suddenly filled him and there was an even more intense urge to kill the ones that had done this.
He quickly turned around to look at the village chief who had been frozen in place after Lin Fan had opened the door. However, once the village chief saw Lin Fan looking over, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
He had already been scared the moment that Lin Fan opened the door since he already knew what would happen after Lin Fan discovered what was behind it, but seeing this gaze now and feeling the murderous intent, he knew that his time left in this world was short.
But he didn’t want to give up just yet!
He didn’t want to die!
So he immediately said, “Sir mercenary, this isn’t what it looks like! I was forced…”
However, before he could say anything else, he immediately swallowed his words after a cold glare from Lin Fan.
But to his surprise, Lin Fan didn’t immediately attack him. Instead, Lin Fan turned back to the girls who were trapped in this room and ignoring the filth of the room, he bent down in front of them.
When the girls heard the sound of his movements, they kept moaning as if they were trying to say something, but were too weak to actually say anything.
Lin Fan looked down at them during this time and he found that their teeth had been pulled out as well…
After bending down in front of them, he asked, “Do you want me to save you? Or do you want me to end it?”
There was a moment of silence as the girls followed the sound of his voice to look up at him. The girls were too weak to speak properly, but after that moment of silence, the girls all started mouthing, “Please end it.”
While Lin Fan wasn’t proficient in reading lips, even he could tell what they wanted.
So with a nod, he said, “As you wish.”
Then he raised his hands and with three quick movements, he snapped the necks of these girls.
He closed his eyes and brought his hands up to pray for their souls before standing up again to walk over to where the village chief was tied up.
The village chief knew that this situation was bad for him, but he couldn’t speak under the pressure that Lin Fan put on him. The only thing that he could do was look up at Lin Fan with a pleading gaze, asking for mercy.
But to his surprise, Lin Fan said something that he never expected.
“As long as you tell me what I want to know, I will let you go.”
The village chief just looked at Lin Fan and blinked and blinked again, as if he couldn’t understand what was happening. But then he quickly came to his senses and processed Lin Fan’s words.
He revealed a look of hope and asked, “Will you swear by that? Will you really let me go?”
Lin Fan nodded and said, “As long as you answer all my questions, then I will let you go. I swear on my name.”
The village chief was still doubtful, but after hearing Lin Fan swear on his name, he felt a bit more trusting. So after hesitating a bit, he said, “Alright, ask me your questions and I’ll see if I can answer them.”
Lin Fan nodded and started asking questions about the bandit group.
After receiving plenty of useful information, Lin Fan fell into deep thought and just stood there in front of the village chief.
The village chief became anxious when he saw this, so he said, “Are you going to keep your promise now? I’ve already told you everything that I know, shouldn’t you let me go now?”
Lin Fan was pulled back from his thoughts when he heard this.
He looked at the village chief like he was looking at a disgusting bug, but with a flick of his wrist, he cut the ropes that had been binding the village chief. He looked down at the village chief and said, “You’re free now. I don’t think that I need to tell you what to do, right?”
The village chief quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, I’ll leave the village immediately, I promise! I won’t say a single word that you’re here and I’ll never get involved in this matter ever again!”
Lin Fan clearly didn’t believe him, but he just waved his hand with a cold snort.
The village chief also didn’t really mean what he said. As soon as he was allowed to escape, he would immediately look for the boss and tell him everything that happened.
He would take revenge for the toes that he had lost, he would take revenge for the humiliation that he had suffered, he would take revenge for all the things that he had been put through!
He would violate this mercenary’s women right in front of him!
But now, all that mattered was being able to escape.
So the village chief treated it like he had been pardoned as he started running to the stairs that led out of the cellar.
However, when he came to these stairs, he found that there was a layer of ice that was blocking his way up. He tried smashing the ice with his fists, but he found that it was just too strong for him to even make a dent with his hands.
So he quickly turned back to Lin Fan and shouted, “You swore in your name! Are you really not going to keep your promise?!”
Lin Fan looked at him with disdainful eyes, but he still said, “I said that I would let you go and I have. I never said anything about anyone else letting you go.”
“Anyone else?” The village chief was confused when he heard this.
There was clearly no one else here, so what did Lin Fan mean by anyone else?
But then before he could ask again, the village chief noticed that there was indeed a figure that was standing behind Lin Fan. Well, not standing, but rather flying behind Lin Fan.
It was a small figure that was flapping its wings to stay afloat in the air behind Lin Fan.
When the village chief looked more closely, he found that it was a little dragon!
