When the thug saw this smile, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.
He had worked in this business long enough to see when people were real or not and he could tell right now that it would be dangerous if he didn't go along with what Lin Fan wanted.
So he asked in a hesitant voice, "What kind of information do you want?"
Lin Fan's smile became wider before he started asking all kinds of questions.
When the thug heard these questions, he couldn't help being surprised.
That was because Lin Fan was only asking simple questions about Night Fang City.
This was information that wasn't that hard to get in the first place, it was just basic information about Night Fang City that almost everyone in the city knew about.
He was confused why this person would kidnap him just to ask these kinds of questions.
But since they were simple questions without any consequences, he didn't hesitate to answer these questions. After all, it was his life on the line here and when given the option between dying or answering these questions, it was a no brainer.
After receiving the information that he wanted, Lin Fan then asked, "What's the best place to get more information in this city."
This time, the thug couldn't help revealing a strange look.
He looked at Lin Fan carefully, as if he was trying to decide what Lin Fan meant by this question.
There were many places that sold information, but when it came to good and useful information, there were only a few places that he could go to. This was only known to certain people, so could it be that Lin Fan was testing him with this question?
After a pause, the thug said, "If you want information, then you can go check with the Night Eye Organization."
After thinking about it, he still decided to give Lin Fan the best suggestion.
The fate of his life was still in Lin Fan's hands after all.
Lin Fan gave a nod when he heard this and then said nothing else.
The silence was very hard for the thug who was still tied up to the chair and he couldn't help asking in a small voice, "Are you going to let me go now?"
Lin Fan was still standing there lost in thought, so he acted like he didn't hear anything.
Seeing this, the thug couldn't help becoming more and more nervous.
Finally, he raised his voice and asked again in a stronger voice, "Are you going to release me now?"
Lin Fan finally paid attention to him when he heard this question from the thug.
He looked at the thug with narrowed eyes for a bit before suddenly giving a nod in response.
The thug was surprised by this answer from Lin Fan, but he couldn't help feeling that something was off. At the same time though, he couldn't tell just what was wrong with what Lin Fan had said.
So in the end, the thug said, "Then can you let me go?"
Lin Fan nodded before giving a wave of his hand.
Before the thug could react, there was an icicle that had appeared in his throat and he started choking on his own blood. The only thing that he could do was look at Lin Fan with a look of shock.
Lin Fan looked right back at him and said, "I said that I would let you go, but I never said that I would let you leave. I'll let you go from this world and be free of the pain of it forever."
The thug didn't know what to say, but even if he did want to say anything, it was impossible since he was choking on his own blood.
In the end, the thug's eyes rolled back in his eyes and he fell back in the chair as he died choking on his own blood.
Once he was dead, Lin Fan took out some powder that he sprinkled over the thug.
Before long, the thug's body had completely disappeared.
This was something that he had received from Yue Lan before leaving. It was a special powder that was also very expensive and rare that could make bodies disappear.
Yue Lan knew that Lin Fan would run into many situations where he would need this powder, or at least he would in this Night Fang City where this kind of thing was normal. So she had specially prepared this for him with her connections and gave it to him.
Lin Fan was really glad that she had prepared this, otherwise he really didn't know what he would have done with this body.
Even the blood and everything that had been sprayed around the room disappeared with a bit of the powder.
When Lin Fan returned the key to the room, the staff of the inn didn't ask a single question and just sent someone to clean it out.
Lin Fan then quickly headed out of the inn for the Night Eye Organization that the thug had told him about.
He had seen the look on the thug's face when he told him about the Night Eye Organization and he could tell that the thug wasn't lying. After all, it was hard to lie when one's life was in danger.
So he was sure that the information that the thug had given him was real.
When he arrived, he found that there were quite a few people hanging out in this bar that was the headquarters of this information organization.
He couldn't help finding it funny that all these information organizations were based in bars, but it did make sense. After all, bars were usually the best place to get information in the first place.
When people were drunk, their lips became looser and it was easy to get information from them.
When Lin Fan arrived at the bar, he gave the barkeeper the code that the thug told him to give.
The barkeeper looked at him with a raised brow before giving him a gesture to wait for a bit.
After a while, the barkeeper came back and waved for Lin Fan to follow him into the back.
There were a few people who kept their eyes on him as he went into the back, but they all just quickly returned to their business. That was because unlike the thug from before, they could tell that Lin Fan definitely wasn't a normal person.
So they knew better than to get involved in his matter.
After coming into the back, Lin Fan was led down a corridor until they came to a door at the end.
The barkeeper opened the door for him and then waved for him to go in.
Lin Fan took a look at what was behind the door before going in.
As soon as he went in, the door suddenly slammed shut behind him and he could hear the door being locked. However, even if this was the case, Lin Fan didn't panic as he looked at the person sitting in front of him.
The room that he had been brought to was a luxurious room that was finely decorated.
In the middle of this room was a sofa where a single cloaked figure was sitting. There was also a very strange mask that was on this cloaked figure's face.
It was like a mask for a masquerade ball.
After seeing Lin Fan come in, the cloaked figure waved his hand and gestured for Lin Fan to sit down.
Lin Fan looked at the couch placed in front of the cloaked figure and then sat down in front of him. However, even after sitting down, he didn't say a thing as he continued staring at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure was also silent for a bit before finally asking, "This customer, what can I do for you?"
Only after hearing the cloaked figure speak did Lin Fan finally speak.
This was the negotiation tactic that he used.
After all, if he spoke first, he would give up the initiative and it would hurt him in the later negotiations.
So he would wait until the cloaked figure couldn't take it anymore and spoke.
But the cloaked figure had been surprised by this.
After all, it was clear that Lin Fan was the customer here and he refused to speak.
Was he not afraid of offending them or was he just that confident?
It seemed like there was an interesting customer that had walked in.
Lin Fan casually asked, "Do you know anything about the Dragon Tongue Herb?"
The cloaked figure was clearly surprised by this question as they didn't answer right away. However, the cloaked figure then said, "What do you need this information for?"
Lin Fan calmly answered, "I don't think that you need this information. All you have to do is tell me if you have this information or not."
The cloaked figure didn't say anything as those eyes under the mask scrutinized Lin Fan.
However, after a moment of silence, the cloaked figure still said, "That depends on if you have the money to pay for this information."
Without hesitation, Lin Fan dropped a small bag on the table and said, "This is a deposit. You get the rest when you give me the information."
The cloaked figure looked at the small bag on the table with narrowed eyes before picking it up. When they saw what was inside the small bag, they couldn't help narrowing their eyes even more before looking up at Lin Fan with a curious look.
