With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 191 Rescue (1)
When Lin Fan woke up the next day, he felt strangely refreshed even though he couldn't completely remember what had happened the day before.
All he could remember was that after coming back, he had been invited to drink with the three girls.
While he couldn't exactly remember what he had said, he had a good idea of what he did say.
After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he came to a decision.
When he came down to the dining room, he found that Lu'er and Lan'er were already there waiting with breakfast for him. It was only breakfast for him since he had woken up late and these girls had already finished eating.
As they were putting the dishes down, Lin Fan couldn't help saying, "Thank you for last night."
The two girls were surprised to hear this and they looked at each other in a daze before turning back to say, "Young master, it is our duty…"
Lin Fan raised his hand to stop them as he said, "It's alright, I understand your feelings and I've accepted them. Thank you."
Blushes appeared on the faces of the two girls, but then Lan'er couldn't help saying, "Young master, it wasn't just us, it was also big sister…"
Lin Fan once again raised his hand to stop her before saying, "I know, I'm going to the store after this as well."
After saying this, he stood up and turned to look right at the two girls.
Seeing the way that he looked at them, the two girls couldn't help shyly lowering their heads as they muttered, "Young master, it's broad daylight, you shouldn't do this kind of stuff here…"
But Lin Fan just raised both of his hands and patted both of them on the head to their surprise.
Both of them had stunned looks as they looked up at the hands patting their heads.
Neither of them had expected this since normally one would expect a kiss in this kind of situation…But still it would be a lie to say that they didn't enjoy it.
After Lin Fan finished with his breakfast, he headed off to the store to talk to Ouyang Qian.
While she was able to recover much faster from the sudden head pat, she was still just as disappointed as the two other girls. After all, she had also expected a kiss in this kind of situation…
But Lin Fan didn't give her one, so there was nothing that she could do.
Over the next two days, Lin Fan stayed in his residence, only going out to find the owner of the bar.
Now that he had contacted the Flying Feather Organization, there was no need for him to run around since he had already reached an agreement with the owner of the bar. All he needed to do was wait for the Flying Feather Organization to give him the information that he needed.
However, they weren't able to find a single thing over these next two days.
But that wasn't strange at all.
Lin Fan had just killed one of the experiments that the Mercenary Guild branch president had been working on, so they would without a doubt hide any involvement that they had with that beast. Not to mention that they didn't even know that Lin Fan was the one who had killed it.
Since he had burnt the cave and all of the evidence, along with them not getting any information from Xiao Huo's group, the Mercenary Guild came to the conclusion that some fire attributed spirit beast came along and took care of it. So after determining this, they put out a new request to hunt this fire attributed spirit beast which no one took.
But that couldn't be blamed on the mercenaries since this mysterious fire attributed spirit beast was estimated to be in the Sixth Qi Gathering Realm or even the Seventh Qi Gathering Realm since it took out the chimera.
The Mercenary Guild had approached Lin Fan about it as well, but he had firmly rejected their request.
So for now, the Mercenary Guild were hiding themselves and didn't leave a single tail for the Flying Feather Organization to pull at.
But to Lin Fan's surprise, the next request related to this that came wasn't from the Flying Feather Organization or the Mercenary Guild, it was from Ouyang Qian.
It had been a normal morning and Lin Fan had been relaxing in his residence since there was nothing for him to do. However, while he was relaxing, the door to his residence suddenly opened and Ouyang Qian came in.
Lin Fan looked at her with a confused look at first, but then seeing the serious look that she had, he led her to the living room and sat down in front of her.
Once they were settled, he asked, "What happened?"
Ouyang Qian looked like she was hesitating as she didn't speak right away. She just looked like she was about to say something, but each time she swallowed her words again.
In the end, she suddenly stood up and turned to leave as she said, "It was a mistake coming here. I'll take care of this matter myself."
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this. He then said in a deep voice that he had never used before, "Sit and tell me what happened. No matter what, I am still your boss."
Ouyang Qian froze when she heard this.
She couldn't help trembling a bit as her internal struggle continued, but she still sat down in the end.
Facing Lin Fan, she didn't speak right away and instead took a sip of the tea that Lan'er had prepared for them. After that sip, she just sat there muttering to herself as if she was trying to figure out what she was going to say.
Lin Fan watched her hesitating like this, but he didn't say anything as he waited for her to speak.
Finally, with a sigh, Ouyang Qian said, "I sent two subordinates out to a village to make a deal with the villagers there for some supplies. However, before they could come back, there were reports of a strange creature in the surrounding area and now they are trapped there."
Lin Fan knitted his brows and asked about the most important thing, "Who are the ones trapping them there?"
Ouyang Qian hesitated again before saying, "The Mercenary Guild."
Lin Fan wasn't surprised since he had already expected this when he heard about the strange creature.
It seemed that the Mercenary Guild had already made their next move and they were unlucky enough to be caught up in it.
As for the strange creature, he was almost certain that it would be…
Ouyang Qian saw the look on Lin Fan's face and said, "Young master, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it myself."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I'll go myself and get them out of there. That's the least I should do as their boss."
Ouyang Qian quickly shook her head and said, "But young master, you are the boss. We can't have you taking this kind of risk in this situation. It's better if I send a scout out first to find information first and then send a team to help. In fact, it's best if you don't get involved at all."
Ouyang Qian had come here in hopes of getting Lin Fan's help at first, but then she remembered what happened a few nights ago.
After that night, Lin Fan had told her about the mission that he had gone on and what he had encountered since it was important to their investigation. After all it was most likely because of these creatures that they were targeting their dungeon town in the first place.
To keep creating these creatures, they needed an endless supply of spirit beasts to extract bloodlines from so they could inject them into humans. Hunting for these spirit beasts in the surrounding areas would attract unwanted attention, so the best idea was to take over the dungeon.
There seemed to be an endless amount of monsters that came from the dungeon, so as long as they controlled the dungeon, they wouldn't need to worry about spirit beast bloodlines. Well, it would be monster bloodlines, but it was still similar enough that it would work.
So the Yong Family wanted the dungeon town for this reason.
But Ouyang Qian remembered how devastated Lin Fan looked when he had to face that creature before, so she didn't want to see him feeling this way again. That was why after she had arrived, she hesitated over telling him this and even decided to not ask for his help in the end even though she really did need it. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
Lin Fan knitted his brows and looked right at her before saying, "If you're worried about me, I can tell you that I'm fine. There's no one else better suited for this mission than me since I'm the one with the Special A Rank Mercenary License and I'm the strongest person among all of us."
Ouyang Qian still had a worried look in her eyes as she said, "But young master, it's not just…"
Lin Fan raised his hand to cut her off before saying, "I'm telling you that it's fine. I will take care of this."
Ouyang Qian looked at him with that same worried look, but she gave a sigh and said, "Yes, young master."
Lin Fan didn't say anything in response, but there was a clear firm look in his eyes.
