Even though they had gone into the center zone of the Kunlun Mountains, it didn't actually take Lin Fan's group that long to head back to Harmony City since with their cultivations, they moved quite quickly.
When they ca into the city, it was already noon and that was just to enter the city.
Since it was tiring traveling, Lin Fan hired one of the beast carriages that was waiting at the entrance of the city to take them to the Seekers Guild.
However, along the way, they decided to stop at one of the many shopping streets in Harmony City to have a al.
While at their level of cultivation, there was no need for them to eat or drink since they could survive on life energy alone, eating and drinking was one of the few joys of being human. That was why even though there were plenty of cultivators in Harmony City, there were also plenty of restaurants that were found all over the city.
After having their al, they got back into the beast carriage that Lin Fan had paid to wait for them outside.
If this was before, Lin Fan definitely wouldn't have had enough money to do this, but now he had plenty of spirit stones after selling the beast corpses to the Seekers Guild.
It was a leisurely ride for them since they were all sowhat tired after having a al and it would take so ti for them to reach the Seekers Guild.
That was the one problem with having a large city, it took quite a bit of ti to reach different parts of it.
However, since that was the case, they could also take a quick nap before reaching the Seekers Guild.
While everything was silent as they were heading to the Seekers Guild, there was a sudden commotion that ca from outside that drew their attention. It was so loud that the beast carriage had even slowed down since there were several beast carriages that had stopped in the road, so it had to slow down to go around them.
When Lin Fan peeked his head out, he saw that there was a crowd gathered, but that wasn't important. What was important was the people that were in the center of the crowd.
Right in the middle of the crowd, there was an old man who was shaking as he leaned on his cane and right in front of him were several strong n bearing down on him, shouting at him.
One of them shouted, "Old man, you really think you can get away from us?"
Another one of them shouted, "After all your son owes us, you really think you can get away now?"
When Lin Fan heard these voices, he couldn't help knitting his brows as he revealed a frown.
This was really like the most cliched scenario that was found in almost all the novels, but for so reason, Lin Fan couldn't help being moved by it. Seeing the fragile old man standing there while being bullied by those strong n, it ignited a sense of justice in him.
Maybe that was why it was found in all those novels, it was actually quite the effective tool.
Even Angela and Momonga couldn't help turning to look at the frail old man standing there surrounded by those thugs.
So this ti, they didn't say anything when they saw Lin Fan was about to make a move.
Finally, Lin Fan called out to the driver and had the beast carriage stop on the side of the road before getting out.
Lin Fan calmly walked over to the crowd and without any impedint, he walked right through the crowd until he was right beside the scene.
Most people in the crowd only had normal cultivations in the Silver and Gold Realm, so they didn't dare interfere when they could tell that these n were all in the Platinum Realm.
But it was also because of that that they didn't notice Lin Fan's life energy gently nudging them to the side to create a path for him.
Lin Fan calmly walked over and stood in front of the old man before asking, "Is there a problem here?"
The strong n standing around the old man were surprised to see Lin Fan suddenly appear, but they were also vigilant since they couldn't see through Lin Fan's cultivation. In scenarios like this, it usually ant that this person was soone with a cultivation that was higher than theirs or it ant that this person didn't have any cultivation at all.
But with the way Lin Fan carried himself, it was more likely the forr than the latter.
If that was the case, that would an they would have to be careful since Lin Fan was just too young. Having this kind of cultivation clearly ant that he had so kind of backing behind him or he might be an old monster in disguise.
Either way, this was soone that they didn't want to ss with if they didn't have to ss with him.
Still, that didn't an that they panicked since they were justified in what they were doing. After all, this old man did owe them a debt, or at least the old man's son did.
One of the strong n ca forward and said, "This little friend, this is sothing that doesn't concern you."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't act impulsively as he said, "You're a bunch of strong n who are surrounding a frail old man, I don't think you have the right to say that."
That man who spoke also knitted his brows, but he wasn't as calm as Lin Fan. He was soone who ruled the underground, why had anyone ever dared to talk to him like this?
So that man took out a piece of paper from his chest and put it in front of him, holding it out for Lin Fan to see as he said, "Do you see this? This is a contract that this old man's son signed himself, so we have all the justification that we need to do this. As long as he doesn't pay, we can do whatever we want, so what will you do about it?"
That man also didn't forget to say to the old man, "Old man, because of this hero, we'll take your granddaughter as well and give her a good place to work. Rember, it's all because of this hero."
Lin Fan coldly looked at this man, but he still didn't act impulsively. Instead, Lin Fan said in a cold voice, "How much?"
That man and the other n around him were all snickering over what that man had said, but that suddenly stopped when they heard Lin Fan's words. They all looked at Lin Fan with looks of surprise before that man asked, "How much for what?"
Lin Fan said in the sa cold voice, "To pay off this old man's debt."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" All the n burst into laughter when they heard this as if this was the funniest joke they had ever heard.
Then that man said, "You want to pay off this old man's debt? Why would you do that?"
Lin Fan just said, "Just tell how much."
That man paused for a second before raising one hand, "Fifty spirit stones."
These n couldn't understand why Lin Fan would butt into the business of soone who wasn't related, but their job was to get the money, so if they could, why would they care where it ca from?
Lin Fan was surprised to hear that it was only fifty spirit stones since this seed a bit too cheap for him, but after thinking about it, he found that it seed right.
This amount was only low to him because he was soone who possessed a lot of spirit stones, but for an ordinary old man like this, it was definitely a large amount. That was because spirit stones were a currency for cultivators just like crystals back on the Blue Star Planet. On earth, it would be the equivalent of hundred dollar bills.
Lin Fan had gotten too used to being with cultivators that he forgot about what it was like for normal people.
In the end, he had to bla the system for this since the system only took crystals as paynt…
Still, this wasn't a problem for him since it was actually quite cheap.
Lin Fan flicked his hand and there were fifty spirit stones that were pulled out of his Storage Ring, being thrown onto the ground in front of these n.
After doing that, he turned to help the old man who had been knocked down by these people and said, "Grandpa, are you alright?
But before the old man could answer, the man from before ca back from his daze and shouted, "Do you really think that's enough?"
Lin Fan turned back to look at them with a cold look and asked, "Isn't it fifty spirit stones?"
That man just said with a laugh, "But what about the interest?"
Perhaps he might have let them go if Lin Fan hadn't provoked him earlier, but now he wasn't willing to let it go that easily.
The only reason he was this confident was because they were in Harmony City. If this was any other place, this man wouldn't be confident in provoking soone with Lin Fan's power and possible backing.
Harmony City was established by the twelve great factions, so they cared very much about public order because it was equal to the face of the twelve great factions. So they invested heavily in law enforcent to ensure that Harmony City was clean on the surface even though there were plenty of back room dealings.
If Lin Fan was to make a move, this group of n would be considered the victims and Harmony City's public security force wouldn't take this standing down.
So the man had no problem provoking Lin Fan since he wanted Lin Fan to attack him.
Lin Fan could only bla himself for provoking him when he had nothing to provoke him with.
Lin Fan could naturally see through what was going on, so he revealed a cold and evil smile.
The mont he did, it was like a flower that blood as all the girls around suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat. There were even so girls that fainted on the spot. There were even so n who had their hearts skip a beat…
Lin Fan just gave a cold laugh before suddenly releasing his killing intent to smother these n.
The mont they felt this killing intent co over them, they were imdiately flattened to the ground.
