YM778.TV 272 Chapter 272
Lin Fan could have killed this Jiang Long, but he had more uses alive right now instead of dead.
So he just crippled him and threw him out, allowing him to head back to the Jiang Family.
Of course, it wasn\'t just for that plan, it was also because he was a little annoyed at how Jiang Long was acting, but he would definitely not admit it.
There had been a crowd that had gathered outside the store and naturally there were people who recognized Jiang Long.
Jiang Long was the definition of a wastrel young master, so he had committed quite a few evil deeds around Rock Mountain City, which made him quite well known and despised. There were plenty of people who wanted to see a bad end befall him, so naturally they were happy to see him suffer now.
But of course there were a few people who were rather shrewd who wanted to build a better relationship with the Jiang Family that immediately came forward to help, while also sending word to the Jiang Family about this matter.
If they were able to get close to either Jiang Long or the Jiang Family by reporting all that they knew and throwing Lin Fan under the bus, it would definitely be worth it. Not to mention that there was nothing to lose from this situation.
Jiang Long was quickly carried off and soon this matter was over, however it also quickly spread all over Rock Mountain City. It didn\'t take long before this news was spread all over the forums with many different pictures of Jiang Long on the ground outside Lin Fan\'s store.
Even if the Jiang Family wanted to take this down, it was impossible for them to suppress it at this point since almost everyone knew about it. It was without a doubt a large slap to their face.
It was clear that they treated this seriously since the next day, another member of the Jiang Family arrived. This time it wasn\'t a wastrel.
…
Time passed and the next day came.
Lin Fan opened the shop like normal, but this time there were much more people who had come early in the morning.
His shop had been surrounded once again like the day the first pet was given back. This time it was even more crowded compared to that time.
However, unlike before, there was a split in this crowd.
There were people who had come to rely on Lin Fan to make money by saving spots in line or people who relied on Lin Fan to train their pets. These were the ones that were supporting Lin Fan.
The others were all here just to watch the fun and take joy in Lin Fan\'s misfortune.
Among those that were here to support Lin Fan was actually a member of the Jiang Family, but he was only a branch member.
Jiang You had been Lin Fan\'s first customer and after experiencing Lin Fan\'s training, he was also the first one who had been addicted to it.
After receiving even more resources from his family for his great performance on his test, he was able to afford Lin Fan\'s pet training. He had come early each morning just for a place in line because he knew that sticking with Lin Fan was the best path for his future. His pet became stronger, giving him more fame and resources, allowing his cultivation to proceed even more smoothly.
It was all a cycle that ended with him becoming stronger.
Now that Lin Fan was in trouble, it meant that this cycle was about to end and he wasn\'t willing to let that happen.
But he didn\'t have a choice since when he saw the member of the Jiang Family that was sent, he immediately hid in the crowd. This was someone that he could never offend or he would be directly kicked out of the Jiang Family.
The one that the Jiang Family sent was the head of the branch Jiang Long was a part of, it was the Jiang Family\'s fourth elder.
This was an elder who was in the high Platinum Realm, one of the true top experts in this city. However, today he was here to deal with a pet shop.
It could be seen just how much the Jiang Family cared about clearing this shame.
When the fourth elder appeared out of the Jiang Family\'s carriage, the crowd in front of the store parted to create a path for him, leading right to the door of the pet shop.
The fourth elder moved through the crowd and came up to the door of the store, but when he pushed on the door, he found that it was locked.
The fourth elder slammed on the door and shouted, "Open this door this instant or I\'ll smash your shop!"
There was no answer that came from inside.
A vein popped out on the forehead of the fourth elder and without a single word, he raised his hand and pulled it back, gathering his life energy in his palm. Then after a few seconds, he suddenly thrust out with his palm at the door.
But what happened next completely shocked him.
There was no shattering of the door as he expected, but rather his life energy was scattered without a trace and there wasn\'t a single scratch on the door.
From the moment the fourth elder had appeared, everyone had started filming this, but they all couldn\'t help being shocked when they saw what had happened.
The fourth elder immediately knit his brows as he stopped his attacks. He could tell from what had just happened that this wasn\'t an accident, there was something strange about this shop.
But when he tried sending his spiritual sense in, he found that there wasn\'t even a single gap for it to enter into the store.
The fourth elder paused for a bit to consider his options before raising his hand again to gather his life energy, but then there was a voice that called out, "There\'s still ten minutes before the store opens. Wait patiently or get blacklisted!"
A vein once again popped out on the fourth elder\'s forehead, but he didn\'t continue attacking. He could tell that there was no use in him attacking this store again after his first attack failed and if he continued, he would embarrass himself. At the very least, he had to get inside and talk to the owner to get a response for the Jiang Family, or he wouldn\'t be able to explain to the family head.
So, just like that, the fourth elder stood there outside the door, patiently waiting for the time to pass.
And time did pass and soon ten minutes had gone by.
When the fourth elder was about to lose his patience, the door suddenly opened right on the dot of the store\'s opening hours.
The fourth elder didn\'t waste any time as he directly headed into the store, moving past Song Shu who was standing behind the door and coming right up to Lin Fan at the counter.
Just like Jiang Long, his first words were, "I want to speak to the owner."
Lin Fan looked up from the web novel that he had been reading at this old man who had just appeared in front of him and after taking a few seconds to look him over, he said, "Why are you looking for the owner?"
The fourth elder Jiang Hei gave a cold snort and said, "What does an insignificant employee like you need to know? Get your owner now or I\'ll smash your store."
Lin Fan casually said, "The owner isn\'t that free, it would be better if you told me your business so I can arrange a meeting."
Jiang Hei\'s face turned dark when he heard this and he could only stutter out, "You…"
The people outside the store naturally enjoyed watching this.
There were even people who came yesterday who couldn\'t help thinking that this scene seemed familiar to what had happened yesterday.
There were those that were worried for Lin Fan since they recognized this old man as the fourth elder of the Jiang Family. Even those that didn\'t could tell that this old man was powerful from the strike he released just now.
All of them were worried about how Lin Fan would get out of this.
There wasn\'t a single person who thought that Lin Fan would be the one at the advantage here.
As for the rest of the crowd, they were all looking forward to this show.
Jiang Hei was close to exploding, but with incredible self control, he forced himself to calm down. He remembered how strange the door of this shop was and decided not to underestimate it.
After a deep breath, Jiang Hei said, "I am the fourth elder of the Jiang Family and I\'m here to see the owner."
Lin Fan raised a brow as he asked, "Oh, it\'s the fourth elder of the Jiang Family. I wonder, what business are you here on today?"
Jiang Hei calmly said, "Yesterday there was a junior of my family who was assaulted in this store. I came today to get an explanation and compensation for this matter."
Lin Fan looked like he suddenly understood what was going on as he said, "Oh, so it\'s for this matter. Good, I was hoping that someone would come. Now, what kind of compensation are you offering for that brat? He did damage my store quite a bit and scare my customers after all."
