With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 634 The fated day (15)

The old master and the three masters were shocked the moment that they heard this.

They looked at me in shock, as if they couldn't believe what Lin Fan was saying.

Finally, the old master couldn't help saying, "Do you even know what the Lin Family represents? Do you know just how much influence and resources the Lin Family has? I'm offering all of this to you!"

The way that he said this, it was almost as if he took offense with what Lin Fan had said.

So he said this not only to try to convince Lin Fan otherwise, but also as an attempt to placate his own feelings. After all, he had spent his entire life as the head of the Lin Family or as the heir to the Lin Family.

The Lin Family was his whole world, the one thing that he took pride in.

If someone were to look down on it and trivialize it, then it would be as if his pride was being injured.

This was not something that he could accept that easily.

Though he didn't realize just how important the Lin Family was to him, to the point where he had developed an obsession with it. If it was himself, he might not have reacted as strongly, but the Lin Family being insulted was like his honour being insulted.

The first and second masters also started to back the old master up.

It was only the third master that remained silent.

After all, he didn't know how to feel at this moment.

If Lin Fan accepted the position as the head of the Lin Family, there was no doubt that he would die. So his only path for survival was to have Lin Fan reject taking this position and some kind of miracle happening that would save him.

But there was also a part of him that wanted to say something since he was the same as his father.

Both of them only had the Lin Family and nothing else.

Without it, there was no meaning to their lives.

Lin Fan just calmly looked at the old master and the two masters as they tried to convince him otherwise.

After a while of trying to convince him, the old master finally said, "Now that you understand the importance of the Lin Family, will you take my position as the head of the family?"

Lin Fan just looked at the old master and calmly said, "The Lin Family is worthless to begin with. There was no question, the Lin Family would have collapsed today."

The old master's face twisted when he heard this before angrily saying, "Then tell me exactly why the Lin Family is useless!"

He had finally snapped after hearing Lin Fan insult the Lin Family again and again.

The Lin Family that he had spent his entire life building, this was his pride.

Lin Fan didn't get angry when the old master snapped. Instead, he just calmly pulled out a rock that he held up in front of him.

This was the same rock that he had pulled out before.

After pulling it out, Lin Fan calmly said, "You should know what this is, right?"

Seeing this rock, the old master and the three masters slowly gave nods.

Since he had pulled out this rock, it was clear that Lin Fan already knew what their plan was. Since that was the case, there was no need for them to deny their involvement in this plan.

Lin Fan shook his head and said with a sigh, "I just have to say that you really are cruel to come up with this kind of plan."

The old master knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Lin Fan saw this and said, "Do you still remember what kind of family you are? You are a family that is under the royal family of the Mu Empire, the loyal servants of the Mu Empire. Yet you do something like this to harm the people of the Mu Empire."

The old master gave a disdainful laugh before saying, "Does it matter? The Lin Family should be the true rulers of this empire, of this world. But because of the suppression that we faced, we had no choice but to act like loyal servants to those b*stards of the royal family."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the old master when he heard this, which confused the old master.

For some reason, he could feel the hostility coming from Lin Fan the moment that he insulted the royal family. It was as if there was some connection between Lin Fan and the royal family that he would act this way.

But he also found out very quickly what that connection was since Lin Fan didn't hide it at all.

"You're insulting the royal family? Then do you know who my wife is?" Lin Fan asked in a calm and cold voice.

The old master had no idea what Lin Fan was talking about, but he could tell that there was something strange about the way that Lin Fan had said this.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

The old master slowly shook his head to show that he didn't know what Lin Fan was talking about, but he also didn't say anything as he waited for an answer from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "My wife's name is Mu Bao Bao."

The old master and the three masters looked at him with confused looks since this name didn't mean anything to them.

Or at least that was how it was at first.

They slowly realized what was special about this name.

The surname was Mu...and this empire was the Mu Empire.

The reaction that Lin Fan had when they talked about the royal family in disdain which showed that he had some kind of connection to them.

If they put all the clues together…his wife should be someone from the royal family.

Slowly, it all made sense.

If Lin Fan was connected to the royal family in some way, it made sense that he would be able to reach the Qi Condensing Realm. After all, the royal family was the one that controlled this large Mu Empire, so it wasn't strange that he would receive enough resources to reach the Qi Condensing Realm.

But if he was connected to the royal family, then there really was no way to explain what they had done.

The plot that they had undertaken was one that was designed to take down the royal family.

So that put them and Lin Fan on completely opposite sides.

But that wasn't the end of it since they had completely underestimated the situation.

After all, Mu Bao Bao wasn't just one of the normal members of the royal family like the old master and the three masters thought.

After Mu Bao Bao took the throne, she was referred to as Empress Mu.

Most people didn't even know her name, so there was no way that they knew that this was who Lin Fan was referring to.

Lin Fan could see this from the looks on their faces, so he slowly took out a piece of paper.

When they saw this piece of paper, they were even more confused since they didn't know what this was. They could see that there were some words and a signature on this piece of paper, but they didn't take the time to read this.

Lin Fan knew that as well, so he said, "This piece of paper is an order for me to investigate the deeds of the Lin Family. If they really show the intent to rebel, then they are to be eliminated."

The old master and the three masters trembled the moment that they heard this.

They never expected the government to know about their movements. They had thought that they had hidden everything perfectly, but it seemed that they had already been seen through.

The old master bit his lip when he heard all of this.

After a long silence, he broke down in tears and fell to his knees as he said, "Sir envoy, it was all these b*stards who planned everything, I was forced to go along with them. I beg for your forgiveness on behalf of the Lin Family who did nothing wrong."

Old ginseng really was the spiciest.

In the end, when he was faced with a dead end, the old master didn't hesitate to throw away his old face and throw his sons under the bus. He wanted to use their lives in exchange for the future of the Lin Family.

The three masters looked at the old master in shock and disbelief.

Not a single one of them could believe that their father, the renowned old master of the Lin Family would do something as shameless as this.

In the span where none of them were able to say anything, the old master gave all kinds of confession on how it was the three, no, it was the four masters who had plotted everything. He had just been forced to go along with it since they had threatened to expose this as the Lin Family's plot and ruin their family.

In the end, he even said, "I regret giving birth to these four unfilial b*stards. In the end, they dragged the Lin Family's name through the mud."

If one didn't know what the situation was, they might have even believed this old man with how convincing his acting was.

But Lin Fan was different since he already knew everything.
