Chapter 36: Day of the deadline

Lin Fan didn't stop with just turning in these two missions.

After turning them in, Lin Fan headed back to the mission board to see if there were any other missions that he could take.

Once he finished going through them, Lin Fan picked out two more missions just like last time.

Without any hesitation, he brought them up to the counter for the receptionist to register which she gladly did. When these receptionists registered missions for mercenaries, they would receive a bonus for each mission that was completed.

Of course, they didn't lose anything if the missions failed, so there was nothing to lose from registering missions for mercenaries.

It was also the reason why the receptionist tried to get the mercenaries to choose set receptionists.

After all, the more missions that they registered, the more money they received from the bonuses.

Once he had finished taking these missions, Lin Fan headed back to the inn to check in on Xiao Yue.

After seeing that she was fine, Lin Fan honestly told her his plan.

He wanted to take this mission alone.

Xiao Yue was a bit hurt that Lin Fan would say this, but she also knew that he was doing this to look out for her. After all, it wasn't as if she would be much help if she left the city in this condition.

She also knew the other reason why Lin Fan was rushing, so she accepted this plan and wished him luck.

But after he left, she immediately started focusing on breaking through.

She knew that only by increasing her strength would she be able to stand by his side and before that, she would only be his burden.

So she would do all that she could to break through as soon as possible.

Lin Fan quickly left the city since he still had plenty of supplies.

With how fast Hi was and how close the location of the mission was, it wouldn't take him long to arrive. He was even sure that he would be able to go and come back before the sun set.

So Lin Fan didn't waste any time as he headed off.

…

On the promised day a week later, Lin Fan headed to the brothel with Xiao Yue behind him.

It was a strange thing to do to bring another girl to the brothel, but that was what Lin Fan did.

Along the way, there were plenty of people that gave him strange looks, but they didn't say anything. After all, everyone had their own preferences and if this was what Lin Fan was into, that was his matter and unrelated to them.

But in reality, Lin Fan was only going to the brothel to redeem Yue Lan.

He had wanted to go alone, but for some reason, Xiao Yue insisted on tagging along.

He didn't understand why she was so insistent on this, but he didn't deny her request either. After all, it was clear from her eyes that she was doing this for him.

When they arrived at the brothel, Lin Fan saw the older woman from before sitting there in front.

When this older woman saw Lin Fan, she revealed a surprised look. It was clear by this look that she hadn't expected Lin Fan to be back.

However, she was someone with experience and quickly hid that expression. She looked at Lin Fan with a smile and asked, "This young master, is there someone specific you're looking for? Or will you be alright with just anyone?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but he said in a calm voice, "I'm here for Yue Lan. You better not have forgotten."

The older woman revealed a confused look for a second as she pretended to think before saying, "Yue Lan? Did we have someone in our brothel by that name?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

He looked at the older woman with a deep gaze that she avoided, but he didn't say anything else since he knew that it was useless saying anything else.

Since she had already decided to go back on her promise, it was clear that there was someone playing tricks in the back.

If that was the case, there was no need for Lin Fan to play along with her.

He followed the direction that she was looking in and found that there was a room there.

Without any hesitation, he walked right over to the entrance of the room and opened the door.

The older woman had seen him walking over and realized what he was doing, but it was too late as she said, "Wait, you can't…" She didn't get to finish her words as Lin Fan had already opened the door and entered the room.

The inside of the room was something that was expected of a brothel and there was a bed right in the center of the room.

Around the bed were four men who were leaning in and there were several other men standing on the side, waiting for their turn. In the center of the bed, there was one man who with the help of the four men leaning in pressed a girl down.

His hands were wandering around her body, but based on how her clothes were still all neat, it didn't seem like he had gotten started yet.

As for the girl that they were pressing down, her tall and proud peaks made it clear to Lin Fan who she was.

All of the men in the room were shocked when they saw someone bursting in, but seeing that it was only a single person, they all relaxed. Not to mention that this single person was just a kid who seemed to be no more than eighteen years old.

He might have been a bit handsome, but there really wasn't an aura coming from him.

So they didn't feel that they needed to be afraid of this person.

The man who had been on top of Yue Lan looked up at Lin Fan and his eyes narrowed as he revealed a look of disdain. Then with a snort, he said, "Who are you? Didn't I say that I didn't want to be…"

But before he could finish saying his words, he had been slapped off the bed by Lin Fan who had rushed over.

After making sure that Yue Lan was alright, he slapped the other four men to the ground and picked up the blanket to wrap over Yue Lan before helping her up.

In front of everyone's stunned looks, Lin Fan helped Yue Lan as they started walking out.

However, before they could make it out the door, the man who had received the first slap and was clearly the boss stood up with a look of rage. He pointed his finger at Lin Fan with his other hand on his swollen cheek as he roared out, "Who do you think you are? You actually dare to hit me! I want you dead!"

But even though he said this, not a single one of the men around him dared to do a thing.

When Lin Fan had charged into the room, they hadn't been able to see him move at all.

They knew that Lin Fan wasn't a normal person based on this speed, so they didn't dare make any rash moves without knowing if they could beat him or not.

The older woman made her way to the door at this time and seeing the angered look on the leader's face, she immediately kneeled down and said, "My lord, this isn't my fault! He just charged in here on his own, I couldn't stop him at all!"

The man who had been called a lord looked at the older woman on the ground with a look of disdain. Then he moved forward until he was right in front of her and he started stomping down on her without care as he vented all the anger in his heart.

Once he was done stomping, he turned his sharp gaze back to Lin Fan and said in a voice filled with silent rage, "Do you know who you are offending? I'll give you one last chance. As long as you bow down and beg for my forgiveness, I'll let you go with just cutting off one arm."

Then when he looked behind Lin Fan to see Xiao Yue, his eyes lit up a bit.

He suddenly revealed a lewd smile and said, "As long as you let her service me as well, I can even consider dropping this matter completely. What do you say? Aren't I a generous man?"

Lin Fan had a calm look on his face the entire time, but hearing that this man was actually targeting Xiao Yue now, there was a tiny spark of anger that appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yue was his woman, so how could he let some piece of trash insult her like this?

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't saying anything, the lord snapped his finger and said, "Call the ones outside. It seems that we have to teach him a lesson."

One of his subordinates was about to run out, but then there were several men that showed up at the door and based on their uniform, they were clearly guards.

The leader of these men bowed slightly to the lord and asked, "Young master, are you alright?"

The lord's eyes lit up when he saw these people. He gave a chuckle and said while pointing at Lin Fan, "This man has disrespected me, teach him a lesson for me."

The leader of the guards gave another bow before saying, "Yes, young master."

Then he turned to look at Lin Fan, but gone was the respectful look that had been on his face. It had been replaced by an ice cold look that even had a bit of enjoyment sparkling in those eyes.
