The next morning was normal for the store, but Lin Fan had his guard up a bit since he was expecting the Zhao Family to co at any mont.
After sending off the daily crowd in the morning, the store fell into silence once again.
But what he never expected was that when it rained, it poured.
After a quiet morning, there was a sudden wave of people who ca at the beginning of the afternoon.
Before they even ca in, there were two groups that stopped in front of each other outside, glaring at one another without saying a word before entering the shop, trying to ignore the other party as much as possible.
There was also one person who ignored both sides and ca in alone, wandering around the shop like he was looking for sothing.
This sudden influx of custors naturally caught Lin Fan's attention.
But it didn't just stop there, as more and more custors continued to enter the shop. There were so that were like the first two groups, glaring at each other before wandering around the shop on their own. There were also so that ca together to talk when they saw a certain group, like they had been long ti friends.
Of course, there was an uneasiness that filled the shop as everyone was on guard against each other.
After a few groups had co, Brainy sent a signal to Lin Fan, telling him that the Zhao Family was also here.
The mber of the Zhao Family sent here was very surprised to see so many people that he knew and they weren't just normal people.
The Zhao Family hadn't gone to the banquet last night, so this mber that had co today didn't know why there were so many nobles gathered in this shop today. He had thought that just a little display of strength would be enough to scare Lin Fan into handing over the treasure, but now it seed like he needed to be careful.
All the other families were being wary of each other. Naturally they had co from the Mu Bo Hai's recomndation, but so far they hadn't seen anything that made them believe this store was worth this recomndation, but no one dared to take Mu Bo Hai's words lightly, especially with how he praised this store.
So of the smarter people sent out their spiritual senses, but they found that they couldn't find a single thing from the owner nor could they send their senses into the back. Rather when their spiritual senses touched Lin Fan, it triggered a strong reaction that instantly scattered their spiritual senses.
All of them were direct descendants of noble families, which ant that the weakest among them were still in the low Silver Realm. However, they still couldn't see through Lin Fan. They were slowly coming to understand why Mu Bo Hai had been filled with praise for this shop, it didn't seem as simple as it seed.
Finally, one of the more impatient young masters couldn't take it anymore and he ca up to Lin Fan, arrogantly saying, "Hey shopkeeper, why would Lord Mu recomnd a rundown store like yours?"
Lin Fan looked at him with a confused look as he said, "Lord Mu, who is that?"
The young master gave a snort before taking out his token, "Do you see this? This is the token of the Ding Family, one of the top noble families in this city. I'll give you one chance, sell this store to or don't bla for being impolite."
Lin Fan imdiately knit his brows as he looked at this Young Master Ding like he was looking at an idiot.
On the side, the ones who had tried using their spiritual sense to see through Lin Fan looked on with expectation. Since there was soone dumb enough to take the lead, why wouldn't they use him to test Lin Fan?
As for the rest of the people, so were angry that they didn't take the first step and there were so that were waiting to see what happened.
The Ding Family was actually only a middle ranked noble family, so there were plenty of other noble families who were confident in dealing with him. Even if the Ding Family got this store from that weak looking owner, they could just plot to take it from the Ding Family before they could offer it to Lord Mu.
Lin Fan just asked with a frown, "What are you talking about? Why would I sell my store?"
Young Master Ding gave a cold snort, "You're just a simple store owner and you're asking this many questions? Well I'll tell you now that your store for so reason has attracted the attention of the great Lord Mu, a Legendary Realm Expert! That's right, a Legendary Realm Expert! If you give this store now, I'll be sure to ntion you when I offer it to Lord Mu."
Young Master Ding said all this since he wanted to use Lord Mu to scare this little shop owner into giving up his store for free. Since he would be getting on Lord Mu's good side this ti, why not start reaping the rewards now?
Lin Fan knit his brows even deeper. That old man yesterday had just asked him to be his disciple and now he was sending nobles to co take his store? How could soone change faces that fast?
Lin Fan just had a cold look on his face as he said, "What if I don't want to give up my store?"
Young Master Ding narrowed his eyes and looked at him with disdain, "Do you have a say in this? A little ant like you can't do a single thing."
Lin Fan had a dangerous glint in his eyes, "You'll find that this little ant can do more than you think."
Young Master Ding's expression imdiately turned to rage when he heard what Lin Fan said. This piece of trash was daring to talk back and threaten him? Him, the young master of the prestigious Ding Family?!
Young Master Ding just ignored Lin Fan and turned to his lackeys, "Break his legs and take the deed to the shop, then throw him out."
The lackeys moved towards Lin Fan with their hands raised. These lackeys weren't considered weak since they were in the Bronze Realm, but in front of Lin Fan, they were just like pieces of paper.
Lin Fan could have just had the store defenses take care of these idiots, but he decided to show off a bit of his strength to deter the others. He could tell that the other custors were also from noble families and they were quite focused on the results of this. Since they wanted to test his store, he would give them a show.
When the lackeys were about to put their hands on Lin Fan, he suddenly grabbed the hand that was about to touch him and twisted the lackey in the air before slamming him onto the second closest lackey.
The lackeys couldn't even react in ti and by the ti they knew what was going on, the lackeys were already lying on the ground and Lin Fan was back in his original position.
Lin Fan looked at Young Master Ding with a raised brow and asked, "Just with you?"
A vein popped out on Young Master Ding's forehead as he slowly lost his temper, "You dare attack mbers of my Ding Family? Do you know what you have just done?"
Lin Fan just said, "So what if you're the Ding Family, you think I'm easy to bully?"
Young Master Ding released his silver life energy and charged out at Lin Fan without saying a word.
As his fist approached Lin Fan's face, Lin Fan suddenly disappeared from in front of him and he felt his arm being pulled by sothing as it was pulled behind him.
When Young Master Ding realized what had happened, Lin Fan had him trapped with his arm being forced behind him.
Young Master Ding tried to say, "You, you dare to…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan pushed his arm higher until it snapped before letting go.
Young Master Ding scread in pain as he clutched his arm before looking at Lin Fan with a gaze of rage, but Lin Fan didn't let him do a single thing.
With a single kick from Lin Fan, he snapped the bone in Young Master Ding's other arm.
Young Master Ding was slouched over on the ground with both hands hanging weakly at his side as he scread in pain.
Lin Fan didn't care about this at all as he picked up Young Master Ding and his lackeys. He carried Young Master Ding and the lackeys over to the door and then threw them out before turning to everyone else in the store, while releasing his life energy.
Being surrounded in that gold life energy, Lin Fan said, "Anyone else?"
But all that answered him was silence.
