Lin Fan was once again taken aback when he saw this pile of gold coins appear.
Then after coming back to his senses, he felt even more confused as he asked Tian Tian, “This is?”
Tian Tian said, “This is the answer to your question.”
Lin Fan looked at the pile of gold coins on the table and after a rough estimate, he could tell that there were around five thousand gold coins here. However, what he couldn’t understand why Tian Tian would suddenly bring out five thousand gold coins.
How was this related to this matter?
Wait, five thousand?
Wasn’t that the exact amount that he had paid for Yue Lan’s debt?
If Tian Tian were to take out this amount of money while discussing this matter, did that mean…
Lin Fan looked back at Tian Tian with a serious look and seeing how relaxed her expression was, he got his answer.
It seemed like the Mercenary Guild would be standing on his side this time.
Lin Fan pointed at the gold coins on the table and asked, “What about all this money, what is going to happen to it?”
Tian Tian just said with a smile, “It’s yours in the first place, so you should take it back.”
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he said, “But this was to pay for Yue Lan’s debt. If you just take it back like this…”
Tian Tian shook her head and said, “It’s fine, we’ve already taken care of that matter. The debt wasn’t legal in the first place, so it wasn’t that hard to break it. Not to mention, you’ve already gotten rid of all the documentation. There shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
Lin Fan still had those same knitted brows as he asked, “But what about that An Family?”
Tian Tian just calmly said, “We’ve already sent people to explain this matter to the An Family. They won’t cause any trouble with you.”
Lin Fan’s brows still didn’t relax, instead they knitted even more as he stared at Tian Tian with a confused look. Finally he couldn’t take it as he asked, “Why? Why did you do all this? I don’t think that it’s worth you doing all of this.”
Tian Tian couldn’t help smiling as she shook her head and said, “You really shouldn’t look down on yourself that much.” Then after a pause, she added, “But still, you’re right. This time, you can consider it a special repayment from us for the quest you did before.”
Lin Fan was even more confused.
After all, they should have already paid him back by increasing his rank and allowing him to take B Rank quests. There shouldn’t be a need for them to repay him anymore for that, unless…
They were able to find something new in that cave…
But when Lin Fan left the cave, it was already empty.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan decided not to think too deeply about this.
Whatever the Mercenary Guild found in the cave wasn’t related to him, so it wasn’t something that he should care about. Rather, what he should care about now was what to do with Yue Lan.
So instead of asking questions about it, Lin Fan decided to accept the five thousand gold coins that Tian Tian brought out.
He waved his hand and took them all into his Pet Storage Space, but made it look like he put it into his Storage Ring.
However, when he did so, Tian Tian couldn’t help knitting her brows.
She also had a Storage Ring which was provided by the Mercenary Guild, so she was familiar with the energy fluctuations that were released when it was being used. Right now, she didn’t feel those same energy fluctuations when Lin Fan made those gold coins disappear, but rather she felt a very different energy fluctuation.
She couldn’t help slightly knitting her brows as she looked at Lin Fan, but she chose to ignore it in the end.
After all, in their line of business, everyone had their secrets and it wasn’t right for her to pry into Lin Fan’s secrets. Especially since she wanted to win him over to the Mercenary Guild side.
For now, they had a good relationship, so there really wasn’t a need to ruin that.
After putting away the gold coins, there really wasn’t much else for the two of them to talk about, so Lin Fan left the Mercenary Guild to head back to the inn.
After he left, there was someone else who came into the room that Tian Tian was still in.
This person looked at Tian Tian and asked, “Was it really worth it to do all that just for him?”
Tian Tian looked back at this person and said with a serious look, “Why do you think it’s not worth it?”
The person calmly said, “Even if he discovered those ruins, that doesn’t mean that he’s worth that much. All he was was lucky, it’s not like he has the skills worth this kind of treatment.”
Tian Tian didn’t reply with words to this, instead she gestured to the piece of paper in front of her.
This piece of paper hadn’t been there when Lin Fan was here and it had appeared during the short period after Lin Fan left and this person came in.
The person picked up the piece of paper and was confused at first when they looked at it, but after looking it through, their face was filled with more and more shock.
They looked back at Tian Tian and asked, “Are these results correct?”
Tian Tian just gave a nod without replying before changing the topic, “When the report came in, I saw that the one that he defeated was the guard leader from the An Family. That’s someone who has been in the Third Qi Gathering Level for a long time, he’s not someone who just reached the Third Qi Gathering Level could beat.”
Then after a pause, she said, “As soon as he came, I had them set up the testing equipment in the other room, so there’s no mistake.”
The person looked at the piece of paper for a bit longer before saying, “It seems like it really is worth pulling him in then.” Then after a pause, she revealed a smile and said, “It’s no wonder you’re interested in him.”
Tian Tian didn’t show any embarrassment when she heard this and she just calmly said, “Well I can’t deny that he is interesting.”
The person revealed an interested look and said, “Oh, is it finally time? Mom has been worried for the longest time about you, but now it seems like it’s finally time.”
It was at this that Tian Tian’s expression finally changed to an annoyed one. She turned to look at this person and said, “Mom’s more worried about you, don’t you know that? After all, you’re older than me.”
That person just revealed a mischievous smile without saying anything.
Of course the person that came in after was the president of the Mercenary Guild and Tian Tian’s older sister, Tian Xue.
…
In another part of the city, inside a large manor.
The young master An Wei had just been brought back and had been treated by the doctor.
However, after waking up and remembering everything that had happened, his first thought was rage. The first thing that he thought about was how to take his revenge.
“That son of a b****, how dare he do this to me! Doesn’t he know that I’m the young master of the An Family! I will take that slut and do her in front of him before killing him just so he knows how much of a piece of trash he really is!”
As he roared out in rage, the door opened and an older man walked in.
An Wei had still been cursing when he came in, but the moment he saw who it was, he immediately closed his mouth.
This man was An Xian, the leader of their An Family and his father. Even if he acted like he had power, he knew that before he took over the An Family, it was his father who held all the power.
But the thing was that his father doted on him.
If there was anything that he wanted, his father would always give it to him. So while he was a bit worried that his father had just heard him cursing, he wasn’t that scared since he knew that his father would stand by his side.
Not to mention that he had been injured by the other side.
With his father’s personality, he was sure that his father would take revenge for him.
The power of the An Family wasn’t to be underestimated, they were one of the four great families of this city for a reason.
So An Wei turned to An Xian with an expectant look, but he caught off guard by what happened next.
,m Before he could even react, An Xian had raised his hand and slapped An Wei across the face.
An Wei just sat there in a daze, not understanding what had just happened. But when he came back to his senses, he broke out in tears and said, “Father, how could you hit me like that?”
An Xian’s face twisted even more when he heard this and he raised his hand to slap An Wei again, but before he could, his wife and An Wei’s mother came in to stop him, “Dear, you can’t hurt our child like this!”
An Xian looked at his wife and his son before giving a sigh.
After that, he said, “You messed with someone you shouldn’t have messed with this time.”
The moment that An Wei heard this, he was shocked.
