Chapter 601 The Lin Family’s situation
A few days passed before Lin Fan went back to the Governor Manor.
During this time, he had been investigating on his own.
He had been spending time at the Mercenary Guild looking for information and he had been going to some places of more ill repute trying to get less known information.
Since he had both the goddess of wealth Yue Lan and the empress Mu Bao Bao supporting him, he had plenty of money.
It could even be said that he was a kept man with how much money the two of them gave him.
But of course, Lin Fan had plenty of his own money from the things that he had done.
The people that he had beaten down, the treasures that he had found, and all those adventures that he had, they had been quite lucrative for him. So it wasn't as if he didn't have his own money.
As long as money could solve his problem, he didn't hesitate to throw money at them until they were solved.
In places like the Mercenary Guild and places of ill repute, money really did loosen lips.
However, in the end, he wasn't able to get much information.
It wasn't that he didn't have enough money, it was just that there wasn't enough information for him to buy.
In the first place, the reports that Mu Bao Bao had received had only had that little information about the Lin Family's movements in the first place. This report was from the greatest information network in the entire Mu Empire.
If even this large information network was only able to pick up these small movements, it wasn't strange that these smaller organizations weren't able to find anything.
So Lin Fan went back to the Governor Manor.
When he arrived, he walked in just like before.
But this time, even the ones that weren't controlled treated him with respect as soon as they saw him.
It was as if they all recognized him and knew who he was.
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a bit confused since that shouldn't be the case with what he did last time. He was certain that he didn't stay long enough to leave any lasting impressions on the staff of this Governor Manor.
So why did they know about him?
He quickly found out from the whispers of the people around him as he passed.
"He's the one that the Lord Governor told us about?"
"He's so handsome, he must be some young master from a famous family. It's no wonder the Lord Governor told us to be respectful to him when we saw him."
"Do you think he's single? Is he looking for a wife?"
Lin Fan almost took a spit take when he heard this, but luckily he was able to keep his face straight as he walked forward.
During the time that he had been away, he hadn't paid attention to the puppets that he had left in the Governor Manor.
Though they were still infected with Greeny's seeds, Greeny had been with Lin Fan on his mission to find information and had been too far away to control these seeds. So he didn't know what had been happening in the Governor Manor.
But with just a few thoughts from Greeny, he learned everything.
The governor had made sure to pass down the order that everyone was to respect him when they saw him, as well as giving everyone a picture based on his description of him.
He had to admit that the governor's memory was quite good so that he was able to perfectly describe him to the artist.
Though it did make sense since memory was a large part of doing the work of an official, so it wasn't strange that the governor would have a good memory.
Since there was no one stopping him, it was easy for Lin Fan to reach the governor's office.
This time, when he entered, he found that the governor was already waiting for him.
When he came in, the governor even gave him a respectful bow.
Lin Fan couldn't help raising a brow as he looked at the governor before saying, "Alright, there's no need for that. Just tell me what you've found."
The governor gave a nod before gesturing to the coffee table that was in the room.
Lin Fan walked over and sat down before revealing a look as if he was waiting for the governor to tell him what he wanted.
The governor didn't say anything at first as he took out a folder that he placed on the table.
Lin Fan looked down at it and picked it up to read.
When he opened it, he knitted his brows as he continued reading through it.
When he reached the end, he looked at the governor who couldn't help flinching at this gaze.
This was the reason why he hadn't said anything in the first place.
Lin Fan put the folder down and said, "Is this it?"
The governor lowered his head at first, but he could feel the pressure coming from Lin Fan's gaze.
In the end, the governor had no choice but to look back up and say with a nod, "This was all that we could find."
Honestly, the governor was very confused why Lin Fan had him check on the Lin Family like this in the first place. As far as he could tell, it didn't seem like there was anything special about them.
There were some moves that they were making, but these were normal things that a large family would make.
It wasn't as if it was anything important.
But Lin Fan had come here for a reason, so he wouldn't leave without achieving what he needed to achieve.
After looking at the folder a bit longer, he said, "Keep watching over the Lin Family."
The governor was confused when he heard this, but he gave a nod in response.
However, there was a part of him that made him ask, "Will something happen to the Lin Family?"
This province was his territory and the Lin Family was considered an important part of that territory.
If something happened to the Lin Family, there was no doubt that he would be affected as the owner of this territory.
Lin Fan just looked right at the governor and said, "Don't worry too much about the Lin Family, worry about stabilizing this province once they are gone."
The governor revealed a shocked look when he heard this, but there wasn't anything that he could say.
From the very beginning, he knew that there had to be a reason that this terrifying monster had come to his province. He also knew that it was related to the Lin Family since he had him check the Lin Family.
But he never thought that this terrifying monster would be so decisive that he would choose to tell him to prepare for the destruction of the Lin Family.
The governor could only give a slow nod afterwards.
Lin Fan put the folder away before raising his hand again.
The governor was caught off guard at first, but it didn't take him long to realize what Lin Fan was asking for.
The governor pulled out a book that he handed over to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it and opened that book to take a look.
After looking at it for a bit, he gave a satisfied nod and said, "Be prepared to clean up at any time."
Then without giving the governor a chance to say anything, he turned to leave the room.
The governor was just left sitting there with a complicated look on his face.
In the end, he could only give a sigh before calling for a few of his subordinates.
Lin Fan left him with no choice since he had come here on behalf of the Mu Empire, so it was his job to help him in the first place. Not to mention, Lin Fan had shown his terrifying ability, so he didn't want to be on the receiving end of that.
After Lin Fan left the office, he didn't waste any time in leaving the Governor Manor and then leaving the city.
He had already gotten everything that he needed from this place, so there was no need for him to remain in this place any longer.
Though before he did leave, he made sure to release all of the puppets that he had created in this city.
He didn't want to keep them in the first place and he didn't want to cause a problem by keeping them. All he wanted was to ensure that the governor understood the power that he had, so he wouldn't think of doing anything to Mu Bao Bao.
Though it was a lie to say that he got rid of everything…
There were a few Control Worms that he left in the more dangerous people just in case.
These were people that worked for the black side, so he didn't feel any guilt about doing this.
Now that he had obtained the information that he wanted, it was time for him to face the Lin Family.
The book that the governor had given him afterwards was a book on the Lin Family and their businesses. He would use this to plan out how he would destroy the Lin Family for the original owner of this body.
Once he was far enough away, Lin Fan called out Igneel and jumped onto Igneel's back before heading off to finish this once and for all.
