Cultivation Pet Shop

After this deep feeling of shock and fear, the boss completely re-evaluated Lin Fan.

It seemed like he couldn't judge Lin Fan just based on the aura that he was hiding…It seemed like this kid was hiding his real cultivation…

This however made the boss feel uneasy since he wasn't even sure if he could beat Lin Fan like this…

Even if he could, he was sure that he would suffer quite a bit since he hadn't been able to follow Lin Fan's speed. If he were to suddenly attack him from different angles with that speed, the boss wasn't certain that he would be able to block all of these attacks…

Even if he would win in the end since he was confident in his durability, he would definitely suffer quite a few injuries.

In that case…

After this moment of thought, the boss turned back to Lin Fan and asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"

If he could solve this problem with words, there was no reason for him not to do so.

Lin Fan just raised the piece of paper that he had shown the third master before and said, "I'm here to collect your debt."

The boss narrowed his eyes to look at the piece of paper that Lin Fan was holding up and after thinking for a bit, he suddenly realized what Lin Fan was talking about.

The boss couldn't help looking at Lin Fan for a bit longer before saying, "So this is the reason why Xia Liu suddenly became so bold…You're the one who's backing him?"

Lin Fan just smiled without saying a thing.

The boss just silently stared at Lin Fan for a bit before suddenly waving his hand.

The subordinates thought that he was about to make a move, but then the boss suddenly said, "Go and get the money. We'll pay this debt off."

Everyone looked at the boss with a surprised look, but since the boss had already spoken, there was nothing that they could do. So after blankly looking at each other, one of them suddenly ran off and came back with a pile of paper.

While this slum city didn't have a proper police system that protected the people, it did have a proper money system that was quite well protected. After all, the money system was run by the people from the Mu Stellar Kingdom capital.

As for why these people would want to run a bank in this kind of slum city, naturally it was for their own benefits.

Running the money system didn't cost them anything and they would be able to earn quite a bit from the people of the slum city. At the same time, they would also be able to control the people of the slum city if they ever got too troublesome.

There had been cases where accounts had been raided by the border patrol, the guards at the wall that kept the people of the slum city in the city. They gave the reason that the owner of the accounts were plotting against the Mu Stellar Kingdom and that all the assets were being confiscated during the investigation.

Of course, there had never been a case where those assets had ever been returned. Even the people who those accounts were associated with were never seen or heard from again.

As for where the funds in those accounts went…The people who managed the bank had no choice but to begrudgingly hold the funds after the owners of those accounts disappeared…

With enough time, the funds completely disappeared and no one knew where it went.

Of course, everyone secretly understood that it went into the pockets of those from the Mu Stellar Kingdom's capital.

But the money system that they created indeed made it easy for people to exchange currency.

The iron coins were the currency that was introduced by these banks, but of course it was troublesome carrying large amounts of iron coins. After all, each of these coins were quite heavy and carrying a bunch of them was troublesome.

So after a certain point, paper currency was introduced for large denominations, which was what the stack of paper this subordinate brought out was.

Each one of these pieces of paper was a bill that was worth a hundred iron coins and there were easily five hundred pieces of paper in this stack, so this was a stack that was worth fifty thousand iron coins.

Just a few iron coins was enough for people to survive each day, so this stack was quite a large amount.

Even the Axe Gang felt pained giving up something like this, that is if it was their own money. Since this was just the money that they received from Xia Liu, it didn't hurt as much.

But after the subordinate placed this stack on a table in front of Lin Fan, Lin Fan didn't make a move to take it.

Everyone couldn't help feeling tense when they saw this and the boss couldn't help asking, "The money is all there. Are you afraid that we'll cheat you?"

Lin Fan didn't even bother looking at the stack of paper on the table as he looked right at the boss and asked, "What about the interest?"

The faces of the boss and the subordinates all sunk when they heard this…but after a while, the boss turned to the subordinate who had brought out this stack of paper and gave another nod.

The subordinate clearly had an unwilling look on his face, but since his boss was telling him to go, he didn't have a choice.

It didn't take long before he came back with a stack of papers that was just as big as the one that he had brought out the last time.

The interest on the contract that they signed was exorbitant, but they never intended to pay it in the first place, which was why they had signed the contract without any hesitation. Now it came back to bite them in the butt.

However, if they were able to solve this with just money, the boss was willing to accept this.

That was because he really was afraid of Lin Fan…

After the stack of paper was placed, Lin Fan once again didn't move to take the stacks that were placed in front of him. He just casually stood there with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for something else.

The boss had a bad feeling and asked, "There's the interest. Is there anything else that you want?"

Lin Fan just had the same smile as he slowly said, "What about compensation for everything that's happened today?"

Everyone's faces sank once again when they heard this.

Lin Fan was making it quite clear, he didn't want to end things that easily today. It seemed like he already had a goal coming here and at this point, he was just teasing them.

So the boss finally couldn't take it anymore.

He could accept Lin Fan asking for the debt amount and even the interest since he acknowledged that he had been outsmarted by Xia Liu. He had never expected Xia Liu to have this kind of expert supporting him.

But when Lin Fan asked for compensation, that was where he drew the line.

It was clear that he was trying to push the issue by asking for compensation. After all, why should they be the one paying Lin Fan compensation when they were the ones that had injured people?

Who was the one that had a ruined building and injured subordinates?

If he agreed to Lin Fan's request for compensation, there was no need for him to be the boss anymore. Especially since Lin Fan was asking for compensation right in front of his subordinates.

He really wouldn't have the face to be the boss anymore if he agreed to pay compensation in front of his subordinates.

So after a moment's pause, the boss released his aura and said in a deep voice, "Don't push your luck. Take this money and get out of here or you won't be able to leave at all."

Lin Fan ignored this threat and said with the same relaxed smile, "Is that so?"

With such clear provocation, there was no way that the boss could back down now.

So he opened up a drawer beside him and pulled out a small handaxe.

This was a very simple looking handaxe, but the aura that it gave off was anything but simple.

It was very clear that this was an artifact and it wasn't just any artifact, it was clear that this was a Soul Realm Artifact.

The boss slowly stood up and pointed the handaxe at Lin Fan as he said, "Then give up on leaving today. Either you will die or I will die today!"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "I'm more willing to bet that you will die than I will die."

There was a vein that popped out on the boss' head as he said in a low roar, "You! It'll be too late to regret it when you're on the path to the Yellow Springs."

As soon as his voice fell, he didn't hesitate at all as he raised the small handaxe above his head and he jumped out at Lin Fan.

With the aura that he released, everyone couldn't help feeling a bit afraid, but also being filled with hope.

This was the boss that they knew, this was the aura of the boss that they had submitted to.

But before his handaxe could even touch Lin Fan, he was suddenly sent flying away.
