Even though Night Fang City was what it was, there was still a division of the city.
That meant that slums like this still existed in the city.
This was the most dangerous place of all in the city because it was a place where people were forgotten. This was a place that no one looked, so that meant that anything could happen here.
That was why it existed in this city.
It was a place where one could take care of business that no one wanted anyone to know about.
It made sense that a place that dealt in Dragon Tongue Herb was located here.
It was also why the Night Eye Organization didn't have any information about it.
In the document that they had given Lin Fan, there wasn't a single piece of information that was related to the slums.
That was because in these slums, there was a rule.
What happened in the slums, stayed in the slums.
This was something that had been written in bold letters in the package that Yue Lan had given Lin Fan about Night Fang City. It had also clearly written that he shouldn't go into the slums unless he had no choice at all.
But now, he had no choice, so he was heading there.
However, he had one advantage that other people didn't have. Lin Fan was able to scout out his route, so that there wasn't any danger as he made his way through the slum.
He was able to take the safest route, even if it wasn't the most direct route.
Along the most direct route were several different incidents that he wanted to avoid.
Most of them involved taking one or multiple lives…but that was just what kind of a place this was.
After reaching the building that was his target, Lin Fan didn't go in right away.
This place was a compound that was in the middle of the slums, with several different buildings.
So far, Greeny's puppets had explored most of them except for a single building that they had left alone on Lin Fan's orders. There was something special about this building that Lin Fan had seen with his Appraisal Eyes, so he had them stay out.
As for big brother Hai and his group, they were all currently in another one of the buildings.
After coming back, big brother Hai had locked himself in a room with his alcohol.
He had pushed away all of his subordinates and locked himself into a room.
Lin Fan had been able to see what he was doing with the puppet and had seen him mumbling to himself while also sending a letter to someone.
He had been able to see the content of the letter and it wasn't a surprise to find that it was a report about him. As for who that report was going to, that was something that he didn't know.
But he didn't stop it since this was what he wanted to see.
He wanted to attract whoever was in charge of this place here. That was the only way that he would be able to find the information that he wanted.
After all, it wasn't as if the fourth prince just wanted to know the source of this Dragon Tongue Herb…it was clear that the fourth prince wanted more than that, so Lin Fan was going to get as much information as possible.
At the same time, that would help him decide how to handle this situation in the future.
He didn't know what the fourth prince was after, but there was nothing wrong with having more information.
As for the muttering of big brother Hai…
"How could this be? How could there be a Foundation Realm Cultivator involved? That Yun Lan was nothing more than a D Rank Mercenary even when she was at her peak, she shouldn't have been able to make that kind of connection."
It was that kind of worried rambling.
He had seen what had been in the bag and he knew what this meant.
He hadn't told his lackeys about this which was why they were so relaxed still, but he was completely freaking out.
After all, it wasn't as if their group could fight against a Foundation Realm Cultivator.
They were just ants in the eyes of a Foundation Realm Cultivator.
He was just hoping that the boss would have a solution when he came.
When Lin Fan saw this reaction from him, he knew that this big brother Hai didn't seem to know anything about the truth about this facility. Otherwise, he wouldn't panic like this.
Lin Fan had seen the array around that building, so he had a good idea of what level of cultivation the bosses of this facility were at.
It didn't take that long for the big brother Hai's boss to arrive.
When he did, all of the men who had been sitting in the hall playing and drinking all fell silent. Then in unison, all of them stood up and bowed to this man who had walked in.
He just ignored them and waved his hand for them to return to what they were doing.
Then he made his way into the room that big brother Hai had been locked up in.
When big brother Hai saw this person, his eyes immediately lit up and he jumped out of the desk he had been sitting at. He fell to his knees in front of this person and grabbed his legs as he said, "Boss!"
The person he called boss looked down at him and shook his head before helping him up.
After helping big brother Hai up, he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Big brother Hai pulled out the bag he received from Lin Fan and handed it over to the person he called boss.
The boss was confused why he took out this bag at first, but after seeing what was inside the bag, he couldn't help knitting his brows. After looking at it for a bit and making sure that it was real, he asked, "Where did you get this?"
Big brother Hai hesitated a bit before telling the boss the story of the orphanage.
The boss listened silently the entire time and when it was over, he said, "Cut off any contact with that orphanage and leave them alone from now on."
Big brother Hai was surprised when he heard this, but then he also revealed an unwilling look.
The boss didn't miss this and asked, "What is it?"
Big brother Hai hesitated a bit before saying, "I wanted to have some fun with that girl…"
The boss narrowed his eyes when he said this and the rest of big brother Hai's words trailed off. The two of them just stood there staring at each other in silence…Well, it was more of the boss glaring at big brother Hai while big brother Hai shrunk back under this glare, not daring to look at the boss.
Finally, big brother Hai couldn't take it anymore and said, "Boss, you don't know how tasty this dish really is. The beauty of this girl isn't…"
Before he could finish, he received…a slap across the face.
Big brother Hai fell to the ground with an aggrieved look when this happened, but looking up at the disapproving look on the boss' face, he immediately put that look aways and lowered his head again.
The boss looked down at big brother Hai in silence, letting his pressure fall down on him.
Big brother Hai was silent the entire time, but feeling the pressure coming down on him, he finally said in a soft voice, "Alright, I will leave them alone from now on."
When the boss heard this, his eyes relaxed a bit and he gave a nod.
Then his eyes turned gentle as he said, "Xiao Lang, you know that I'm doing this for your own good."
Hearing him say this, big brother Hai on the ground looked up and said, "Big brother, do we really have to be this careful?"
It was only when this man revealed this gentle look that big brother Hai addressed him as "big brother".
The boss nodded and said, "There are things that you can't imagine that are involved in this matter. If we're careless and ruin even a single thing, it will put our lives on the line. So no matter what, we can't cause any trouble."
Big brother Hai gave a sigh before saying, "She really was beautiful."
The boss revealed a smile and said, "Don't worry about that. If you really want someone, I can get someone for you."
Big brother Hai gave another sigh before saying, "But it won't be as beautiful as this girl."
He became excited as he said, "Big brother, you really should see this girl. You don't know just how beautiful she is without seeing her first. I promise that as long as you see her, you won't be disappointed. As long as you work with…"
He suddenly shut his mouth when he saw the boss glaring at him again.
After seeing him lower his head, the boss said with a sigh, "Xiao Lang, you have to know this is a very critical time for our family and you can't just be playing around like this. I promise that I'll find someone fun for you to play with once this is all over, but for now, you need to restrain yourself. Do you understand?"
Big brother Hai hesitated a while before giving a slow and hesitant nod.
Only when he saw this did the boss pat big brother Hai on the head and turn to leave.
