A few days passed by after Xia Liu sent those letters.
As expected, the gangs that he had contacted were suspicious of these letters, but after meeting with Xia Liu, they still took the money.
While they didn't understand why Xia Liu offered them these loans, they didn't fear the clear trap that this was.
That was because they were confident in using their hidden cards to deal with whatever Xia Liu had planned.
At the same time, they also contacted each other to find that Xia Liu had offered the same deal to them.
So they were certain that Xia Liu wouldn't be able to succeed with whatever plan he was plotting. After all, they could just come to each other's aid if there was something that happened.
They didn't believe that Xia Liu had enough power to take all of them on.
It was just too bad that they were completely wrong about this.
A week after these contracts had been signed, Lin Fan made his move.
He could have moved much earlier than this, but he had given them an extra two days so they would let their guards down.
He didn't take any of the thugs that Xia Liu offered him since he knew that all they would do was drag him down. After all, instead of having these thugs that weren't even in the Soul Realm follow him, it was easier for him to rely on his pets.
During this time, Lin Fan had also tested how summoning his pets would work.
When he had been sent to this Mu Stellar Kingdom, all of his pets were still outside since they had just been fighting in the war with the Tai Stellar Kingdom. None of them should have been in his pet space that was sent here with him, so he shouldn't have been able to summon them.
But to his surprise, he found that he was still able to completely disregard time and space to summon out his pets.
However, that wasn't actually the case.
When he had been sent away by Zi Ling's scroll, these pets that had a contract with him had also been pulled away by the spatial law released by the scroll. They had been forcefully sent into the pet space and were dragged along with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat included the pets that he only had temporary contracts with. That included the True Soul Realm Beasts that he had made temporary contracts with.
When he had been sent here, Qing Ao's group and the group of True Soul Realm Beasts that he had stolen from the Tai Stellar Kingdom forces had all been sent into his pet space and had been sent off with him.
He hadn't opened the pet space when he first appeared in this place, but when he opened the pet space after, he found that all of these pets with temporary contracts were waiting inside for him.
Of course they were unhappy that they had been brought away from the Galactic Humanity Alliance, but that unhappiness didn't matter since they knew that they were with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had something that was even more enticing to them, so as long as he was here, it was all fine.
So they decided to follow him.
Of course, using True Soul Realm Beasts to attack these thugs was a bit overboard, so Lin Fan just called out a few of the weaker puppets that Brainy controlled.
He didn't want to put too big of a target on his head by bringing out pets that were too powerful since he was technically supposed to be in hiding, so he only brought out puppets that were in the Embryo Soul Realm.
But that was still more than enough for him to deal with all the gangs that were in this area.
Even if they were only in the Embryo Soul Realm, all of these puppets were in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm. They were not things that these gang bosses that were only in the Low Embryo Soul Realm could even come close to fighting.
Not to mention that his first target was just someone in the High Fragmented Soul Realm, so there wasn't even a need for many puppets. Just a single puppet was more than enough to destroy this whole gang.
When he arrived at his target, he found that there weren't any defenses set up at all.
But that wasn't strange at all since they wouldn't even know that he was coming to destroy them.
Lin Fan had never shown himself in public with Xia Liu and the others. Other than that first day when he attacked Xia Liu's office, he had never associated with them directly, so people didn't know that he was even connected to them.
Whenever he contacted them, he would do so with the thug that Xia Liu had assigned as a messenger.
This thug was just one of the common thugs in Xia Liu's gang, so it was unlikely that anyone would monitor him. So it wasn't strange at all that no one knew about Lin Fan's existence.
That was their first fatal mistake.
Their second fatal mistake was thinking that they would be able to defend against any attacks that Xia Liu would send at them.
After he arrived, the first thing that Lin Fan did was try to get a meeting with the boss, but he was kept at the gate by the receptionist.
Finally, he lost his patience and did something drastic.
The receptionist said again, "Sir, I've already told you that without an appointment, you can't just meet our boss. Please stop causing a scene and leave right now."
Lin Fan just revealed a smile and said, "But I haven't even started causing a scene yet."
The receptionist knitted her brows, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned to look at the thugs that had just arrived after receiving the silent alarm from her.
They looked at Lin Fan and looked at each other before giving a snort and then moving forward. It was clear that they were looking down on Lin Fan because of his age, but the main reason was of course because he was hiding his cultivation.
Right now, he was only releasing the aura of someone in the Gold Realm.
Both of these thugs were also in the Gold Realm, so they would be able to easily take care of this kid. Or at least that was what they thought...
They came over and came in between Lin Fan and the receptionist. At the same time, they also came up close to Lin Fan to push him towards the door, but to their surprise, he didn't take a single step back as he looked them right in the eye.
Of course, these men weren't intimidated at all by what they thought was just a kid, so one of them said, "Kid, how about you leave now before you get hurt?"
Lin Fan had the same smile on his face as he said, "But I don't think that I'll be the one getting hurt."
When the thugs heard this, they immediately revealed a slightly angry look.
Even if they were a bit slow, how could they not hear that this kid was provoking them? How could they not tell that this kid was looking down on them!?
They were a part of the mighty Axe Gang, how could they let just any kid off the street look down on them like this?
The man who spoke before shook his head before pulling out the axe he had at his waist and saying, "You're the one that asked for this."
Without any warning, he swung the axe in his hand down at Lin Fan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, before he could react, there was a powerful force that suddenly came from in front of him. This force was so strong that he couldn't resist at all.
The man was picked up off the ground by this powerful force and was sent flying. He flew past his partner, past the receptionist, and slammed into the wall right behind her.
The wall wasn't strong enough to stop him and he smashed right through it, hitting the wall of the building on the other side and creating a web of cracks on that wall.
Judging by his rolled back eyes, there was no doubt that he was knocked out. However, judging by the blood that completely covered him, all of his bones should have also been shattered with that single hit.
Lin Fan just stood there with his fist raised where that man had just been standing with a casual smile on his face.
The other man turned to look at his partner before turning to look at Lin Fan.
Without any hesitation, he turned to run!
He just knew that his partner had been sent flying and the only one that could have done that was this young kid in front of him. He didn't know how this kid had done it, but he didn't intend to stay here long enough to find out.
He knew that his only chance to survive was to run and find the boss.
As long as the boss came, he would be able to take care of this kid.
After all, the boss was a Soul Realm Expert. He was not someone that this kid could stand up against.
But before he could take more than two steps, there was a powerful force that suddenly came from behind him that lifted him off his feet.
Just like with the other thug, he was lifted off the ground and carried away by that force, being thrown up against the wall in front of him. Just like with that other thug, he smashed right through the wall and landed in the street in front of the building.
There were people that had been walking past and they were shocked to see the thug suddenly fly out of the building. However, the people of this city knew better than to involve themselves in this kind of matter.
So with only just a single look at the bloodied thug on the ground, everyone walked away from the building and minded their own business.
There was only Lin Fan and the receptionist that were left standing in the lobby of the building.
The receptionist who had looked down on Lin Fan before just stood there trembling with a look of absolute fear on her face. She said in a stuttering voice, "Please, please don't, don't hurt me."
Lin Fan just asked with a smile, "Am I qualified to see your boss now?"
But before the receptionist could answer, there was a ding that came from behind them.
The elevator opened to reveal a thin man with a large axe on his back.
