Chapter 158 That Person Came Out (Please Subscribe)

After walking for a while, Chen Fan confirmed that there was indeed no one following him.

On the contrary, it was the mask on his face that attracted countless strange looks.

He found a dead end, looked around, put his luggage inside, and took off his mask.

After all, I'll be dealing with people later, and wearing this is too scary and adds to the communication barrier.

As for the bow and arrows, they are still carried on the body because they are too big to fit in the storage space.

After leaving the alley and following the route on his phone, he walked for almost two kilometers before stopping at the entrance of a residential complex.

The residential area is very large, with more than 20 buildings at a glance, most of which are seven or eight stories high. The gate of the residential area is open, and vehicles and pedestrians come and go from time to time. You can even hear children laughing inside.

"It's exactly the same as it was ten years ago."

Chen Fan sighed. Compared to other places, the people living in Anshan City are indeed much safer and happier. No wonder countless people are desperate to get in.

He followed the flow of people inside. Although his attire was somewhat unusual, it was not an exception, as there were also groups of people entering the community with guns.

So the journey was smooth and unobstructed until we arrived at Unit 5.

"601".

He glanced at the note and went up the stairs.

The hallway was somewhat dimly lit, and the walls on both sides were covered with all sorts of little "GG" stickers: locksmiths, driving schools, people offering large sums of money for a child, and so on.

But when he got to the 5th floor, the style of the paintings on both walls changed abruptly.

"Duan Hongqing, you bastard, pay me back!"

"You bastard surnamed Duan, you heartless scoundrel! You're selling fake martial arts and harming people!"

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt!"

These are the few that are more moderate.

Most of them were hysterical curses, like "I'll kill your whole family."

Seeing this, Chen Fan seemed to understand why the old man refused to come back.

Just facing these things must take immense courage, right?

I finally arrived at the 6th floor and was just about to start looking for room 601 when I was stunned by what I saw.

There was a house in front of them, but the door was gone, and the interior was clearly visible.

The walls on both sides of the gate were also covered with various curses and debt-collecting words.

"Could it be?"

Chen Fan stepped forward and looked through the door into the room, but there was nothing there.

Not only that, the ground, walls, and ceiling were also covered with all sorts of curses and terrifying drawings.

It sends chills down one's spine.

Chen Fan didn't go in, because there was no need for it.

With things like this here, how could anyone still live here?

The old man anticipated that his family might not accept the gift he gave, but he didn't expect that his family wasn't even there anymore.

"Squeak."

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from not far away. A middle-aged woman poked her head out, sized up Chen Fan, and said, "Are you here to collect a debt too?"

Chen Fan looked over, nodded, and said, "Yes, where is this family?"

He originally planned to leave just like that.

But since someone has shown up, let's ask them.

If we find out their whereabouts, we'll send the things over.

If you don't know, then forget it; after all, he did his best.

"I'm gone."

The woman glanced at the gate. "They left a long time ago."

"You left a long time ago?"

"Yes, it's been two or three years, hasn't it?"

The other person recalled for a moment and said, "After the incident, that old man ran away, leaving behind his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. To be honest, that old bastard was truly inhuman."

He may have been quick to escape, but he caused immense suffering to his family. Every day, several groups of people would come to cause trouble, demanding repayment of the money. And to make matters worse, some even threatened to kill him and have him pay with his life.

Later, the man tried to sell the house, but he couldn't sell it at all, even after the price was halved, and then halved again, no one dared to buy it.

Then, one day, they left, and nobody knows where they went. Some say they went to live in another city. The debt collectors demolished the house, taking everything they could, and that's how it ended up like what you see now.

"so."

Chen Fan nodded; it was roughly what he had thought.

I just don't know if the family's relocation went smoothly or if they arrived at their destination safely.

"Young man," she looked Chen Fan up and down with curiosity, "how much money do they owe you?"

"A few thousand yuan."

Chen Fan said casually.

"Then you lost quite a lot."

A hint of sympathy appeared in the other person's eyes. "Most people were scammed out of a few hundred yuan at the time. It wouldn't have been a big deal to pay it back later. But who knew that someone would practice that old man's fake kung fu and die? That's when the whole thing got out of hand."

You have no idea how much of a commotion it caused. We residents living next door also suffered because of it. I was so angry. One morning when I woke up, I found that the door lock had been broken...

"Thank you."

Chen Fan smiled at the other person, then turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Why?"

Seeing this, the woman opened the door and said with some reluctance, "Are you leaving already?"

"Shall we chat a little longer?"

"What a pity, we finally saw one unlucky guy, and he's gone just like that."

After muttering a few words, she slammed the door shut.

"That old man has really done a lot of harm."

The image of the old man who sold the cultivation technique flashed through Chen Fan's mind, and he sighed softly.

Not only did it harm others,

It also caused great harm to his family.

The key point is that this old man has returned to his old ways, selling fake martial arts techniques to deceive people in Anshan City, and he is still selling fake martial arts techniques to deceive people after arriving in Songjiabao.

Should we say he hasn't changed his original intentions, or that a leopard can't change its spots?

"Well, I've accomplished my mission. I'll just tell Song Family Fortress about the situation here later. Anyway, I can't go back on my promise to give me the cultivation technique."

Chen Fan put on his mask again and walked towards the outskirts of the city.

The moment he stepped out of the city, he felt several gazes fall upon him.

I even heard someone say, "Go and inform Brother Lu quickly."

"interesting."

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It seems my guess was right; someone really was waiting for me outside.

Is it someone from that Hongchang Trading Company?

He kept his eyes straight ahead and walked along the open road into the wilderness.

……

Hongchang Trading Company.

Lu Yang was sitting there with a gloomy expression. There were more than a dozen people sitting in the room. It looked quite lively, but the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

The people present looked at each other.

Everyone present knew that not long ago, in front of countless people, Lu Yang had suffered a loss in silence.

It's common knowledge who's behind the business, and Lu Yang even revealed it specifically.

I thought it was a sure thing, but that martial arts expert who appeared out of nowhere actually refused.

Actually, things are alright here.

Isn't it just that you don't plan to join the trading company for the time being?

With so many martial arts experts at the core level in the business, one more won't make a difference. At worst, we can investigate this guy's background later to see who he really is.

But to their surprise, that person, led by Lin Hui, had entered the city just over an hour earlier.

What this means is self-evident.

That's why Lu Yang was in a bad mood.

"Brother Lu,"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties with deep-set eyes couldn't help but say, "Since that person is so ungrateful, I don't think there's any need to let him live."

"Brother Yan is right."

Soon someone chimed in, "Those people from the Martial Arts Association are still up to no good. Do they think they can stand up to our business with just a few of them? I don't think there's any need to keep Liu Qing and the others around. We should find an opportunity to take them all out."

"That's right, I think we should just take out that Sun Wei guy too."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

"This, this isn't a good idea, is it? After all, he's the branch president. If we kill him and the higher-ups find out, it won't be good."

Although the Anshan City Martial Arts Branch is weak, it has the backing of the General Association. It can't compare to the strength of the Awakener Association, but it's not difficult for them to deal with a few C-level Awakeners.

At that time, these people are very likely to be thrown out as expendable pawns.

"Heh, I was just saying, but that guy wearing the mask needs to be dealt with. Hmph, since he's going to side with the branch, he should be prepared for this."

"That's right, we have to kill him!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

"alright."

Lu Yang's expression softened slightly, but a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. He said, "This person definitely needs to be eliminated. If we don't make an example of him, some people won't know whose Anshan City he really is."

"That's right!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

A man rushed in, excitedly shouting, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, that man is out! That man has come out of the city!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the room turned to him.

"Really? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Lu Yang quickly asked.

"Absolutely not!"

The man said, "He was wearing a mask, carrying a bow, and also had a knife. He was easy to recognize."

"That's him!"

A middle-aged man next to him slapped his thigh and looked at Lu Yang: "Brother Lu, I think we should hurry up and set off immediately. That kid can't have gone far."

Not only him, but many people stood up and looked at each other with expectant eyes.

"That kid is probably quite strong."

Lu Yang spoke slowly.

To be honest, when he tried to win over Chen Fan, he was indeed attracted by the latter's abilities.

"Just because he's not weak, does that mean we are?"

"That's right, it can only kill a dozen or so mid-level ferocious beasts. We can even kill high-level ferocious beasts, so a mere dozen or so mid-level ferocious beasts are nothing!"

"Brother Lu, let's go."

The crowd protested.

"Jiang Xiong, take two men with you, and bring weapons."

Lu Yang looked at the middle-aged man who had spoken first. This man was a true master of martial arts, ranking among the top three in the business.

"OK."

Jiang Xiong glanced at the crowd and picked out two people he had a good relationship with, who were weaker than him but were still internal force martial artists.

"Brother Lu, wait here for my good news."

After Jiang Xiong finished speaking, he strode out.
