Chapter 10 You Are… the King of the Blood Prison!
- At that very same time!
- The hall in the clubhouse was completely empty, virtually all the patrons had been cleared out of the space.
- And in a dark corner, Xue Meigui, who was dressed in a red dress, bowed her body at a 90 degrees angle to the ground.
- She had been maintaining this position for five minutes.
- The nervousness she felt caused her cheeks to be flushed such that they became a similar shade to her dress as beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
- Drip!
- Drip!
- The perspiration trickling down her skin reflected how she felt internally, as if she was extremely tensed and anxious.
- If this sight were to be witnessed by the masses of Jiang City, surely everyone’s jaws would fall straight to the ground. Who would’ve thought that the queen of Golden Age Clubhouse would be bowing to the sofa before her at this very moment?
- And the fact that she dared not moved from this posture for five whole minutes.
- “You’re that lass from ten years ago?”
- Just when Xue Meigui’s anxiety peaked, an indifferent voice came from the dull-colored sofa.
- That voice came from Lin Fan.
- He sat, half-lying on the sofa, gazing at Xue Meigui, who was standing in front of him, like a dark spirit.
- Hearing those words, Xue Meigui’s delicate figure couldn’t help but shudder. Then, she lowered her head even more, and replied respectfully, “Yes! I was saved by Boss ten years ago!”
- As she spoke, a faint frown appeared on her face despite her smile, “I just didn’t expect you to be the King of the Blood Prison!”
- The Blood Prison!
- Perhaps few in Jiang City had heard of this title, however, in the global Underworld, this was a name that would make mega tycoons tremble in fear at the mere mention of it.
- Whenever the Bloody Prison goes on a campaign, they lay waste to every piece of land they set foot on!
- All the forces the Blood Prison set their eyes on were nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered. In this past decade, hundreds of forces have been killed and obliterated regardless of their size.
- And the King of this very Blood Prison was, in particular, a mysterious, terrifying, powerful dictator!
- He held the full authority over the global Underworld for ten full years. No one has seen his person other than the top senior officials of the Blood Prison, because the enemies that ever laid their eyes on him were all dead!
- And Xue Meigui knew that this King of the Blood Prison was now the new Boss of the Global Group!
- The one right in front of her eyes… Lin Fan!
- “King of the Blood Prison huh?” Lin Fan muttered as the corners of his lips curled up in amusement.
- It’s been three years since he last heard that name.
- Then, Lin Fan took a close look at Xue Meigui before speaking emotionlessly, “I don’t want outsiders to know of my identity! Do. You. Understand?”
- That sentence sent a chill down Xue Meigui’s spine as she hurriedly nodded her head and said, “I understand, please be rest assured, my King!”
- Seeing her response, Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction.
- Then!
- “Lin Fan!”
- A crisp voice called his name and he was greeted with the sight of Bai Yi and the others flooding into the hall from the private room.
- Lin Fan immediately nodded at Xue Meigui.
- She understood what was expected of her and slowly retreated into the shadows before turning to take her leave.
- Hmm?
- As Bai Yi approached Lin Fan, she caught sight of a figure clad in fiery red leaving from her peripheral vision.
- The first thought that came to mind was that the figure in red seemed to be Xue Meigui.
- She seemed to have seen Xue Meigui bowing at Lin Fan just now?
- H-How could that be!
- No! I must have been mistaken!
- Bai Yi shook her head, shaking this ridiculous notion out of her mind. She then walked up to Lin Fan’s side and asked worriedly, “Lin Fan, tell me the truth, where on earth did this card come from?”
- As she spoke, she waved the Skeleton King Card in her hand.
- Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately understood the intention behind their appearance.
- However, before he could give his explanation, Wen Qing, who was standing by the side, quickly popped out and said, “Lin Fan, you had better tell the truth! How did you get this extraordinary card? Did you steal it? I’m telling you, if you stole it, then you’ve caused a major catastrophe! Not only will your life be forfeit, Bai Yi and the Bai family will also be dragged down by you and ruined!”
- Wen Qing’s eyes that were dead set on Lin Fan were filled with disgust and contempt.
- Stolen?
- Hearing that word, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He didn’t even want to waste his time explaining to these people.
- He leaned back on the sofa lazily and uttered while looking at Wen Qing indifferently, “So what if I stole it?”
- What!
- The moment those words left his mouth, the color on Bai Yi and everyone else’s faces disappeared in an instant.
- So it really was stolen?
- This…
- Bai Yi felt like she was about to pass out. This is the Skeleton Emperor Card, the highest level card of Golden Age Clubhouse. The identity of the holder of such a card was powerful beyond imagination.
- For Lin Fan to steal this kind of card, he had no doubt brought upon a major disaster.
- In an instant, cold sweat started gushing down Bai Yi’s forehead. Her entire person was scared silly.
- And behind her!
- It was like all of her former classmates had ants in their pants as they vented their anger and agitation at Lin Fan.
- “How could you do something like that, Lin Fan! Even if you’re nothing but scum, that’s no excuse to steal!”
- “Yeah! And even if you steal, why did you have to steal this card of all things! Are you looking for death?”
- “Crap! We’re done for! Should the owner of this card find out, we’re all doomed!”
- “...”
- Contrary to the anxiety and unease on everyone’s faces, Wen Qian heaved a long sigh of relief.
- What she was most afraid of was that this card actually belonged to a piece of crap like Lin Fan.
- After all, there was no way she could stomach the possibility of a lowly good-for-nothing that she had despised and treated with disgust all this while really had some shocking background.
- As for him stealing the card?
- Hmph! He’s just an idiot with a death wish!
- In Wen Qian’s mind, she had already determined that Lin Fan was finished.
- “Bai Yi, you’d better hurry up and get a divorce with this good-for-nothing! His stealing this card will definitely get you into trouble!” Wen Qian immediately advised Bai Yi.
- Divorce?
- Bai Yi’s delicate body shook at the sound of that word, and her pretty face became even paler than it already was.
- “No…”
- After a long while, she finally gave Lin Fan a disappointed look followed by a firm declaration, “Lin Fan is my husband! Even if he’s useless, even if he got himself into trouble! He is still my husband! I will… shoulder the consequences with him!”
- What!
- As soon as those words left her mouth, Wen Qian and the others were in complete disbelief as to what they had just heard.
- Lin Fan, on the other hand, was dumbfounded as he felt a warm sensation well up in his heart.
- He was right about her!
- Bai Yi was still that kind-hearted little girl that gave him that steamed bun, the one who gave him a second life.
- “Bai Yi, are you really not afraid of me burdening you?” Lin Fan asked, staring straight at Bai Yi, his expression serious and solemn.
- It’s just that!
- Upon hearing his query, Bai Yi went completely mad. All her worry and disappointment burst forth at once and she gave him a tight slap.
- Slap!
- The slap hit Lin Fan square in the face.
- Then, her delicate body fell right into his arms, the tears that had welled up in her eyes rained down on her face uncontrollably as she cried, “You jerk! Lin Fan, you jerk! You are my man, my husband! How could I be afraid of something like that!”
- “If you live, so will I. And if you die, I will follow you in death! Why can’t you understand that! Why! Uwuu…” she wept, leaning against Lin Fan’s body as tears fell from her eyes like beads falling from a broken thread.
- She cried her heart out!
- A heart-wrenching cry!
- Regardless how many times Lin Fan had let her down or upset her, not once, did she ever thought of getting a divorce.
- All she knew was that this man standing in front of her was her husband!
- Looking at Bai Yi, who was crying so hard that she could no longer speak, Lin fan smiled…
- Frankly, he could’ve very easily avoided that slap just now, but he didn’t.
- In his eyes, Bai Yi was venting out her love for him.
- This silly girl, despite knowing that he was a good-for-nothing, that he had messed up big time, she was still willing to be with him through life and death, what else couldn’t he give to her!
- Thus!
- Lin Fan reached out his hand to gently stroke her black hair before speaking softly, “Don’t worry, Bai Yi, there’s no one in this world that can hurt you! No! One!!!”
- Boom!
- Bai Yi trembled at that statement. That was the first time Lin Fan had said such affectionate words to her, causing her to cry even harder than she already was.
- However, at this moment!
- A burst of loud maniacal laughter resounded from behind the crowd, “Hahaha… You piece of crap! You should be worrying for yourself for now!”
- What!
- Hearing that, everyone whipped their heads around.
- Then, they were greeted with the sight of a group of people pouring in, with Lin Guangyao leading the way.
- It was an intimidatingly large group of people, over dozens of men strong!
- Spearheaded by the two teens known as the two young ruffians of Jiang City, Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian!
- Boom!
- He’s finished!
- Lin Fan was an absolute goner!
- They all couldn’t help but steer clear of him for fear of being dragged into his issues.
- While Lin Guangyao stared straight at Lin Fan, gloating at him with a vicious smile, “Young Master, this is the guy! He is that one who crashed your car yet he’s still swaggering about! He’s basically asking for death!”
- “Quick! Disable him, break his arms and legs, and make him a complete cripple!”
- As Lin Guangyao spoke, the excitement in his face grew even more intense.
- But he wasn’t the only one!
- Wen Qian was just as happy as him!
- She didn’t expect the two ruffians of Jiang City to arrive so quickly and given their daunting auras, it seemed like they couldn’t wait to rip Lin Fan to shreds!
- The shuffling sound of footsteps was just like the Grim Reaper’s death knell!
- Everyone’s heart was trembling in trepidation and Bai YI had stopped crying!
- Her pretty face, pale as paper. She never thought her class monitor was so heartless as to betray them so.
- She hurriedly exclaimed, “Lin Fan, leave now! Hurry!”
- Bai Yi was drenched in cold sweat as she tried to get up and make a break for it with Lin Fan.
- However!
- Lin Fan didn’t budge. Instead, he gently patted on her palm and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you have me!”
- What!
- Bai Yi was stupefied. She saw that there wasn’t even an ounce of fear or unease on his face. Rather, he was exuding with a kind of arrogance and confidence as if he had the world in the palm of his hand.
- That expression somehow managed to calm down the unease she had in her; it was as if this man was her sky, supporting everything for her.
- This…
- Even up to this point, Bai Yi couldn’t believe that she had calmed down completely. Forget it! He is my husband. Since he doesn’t plan on moving, I’ll be by his side no matter what happens!
- Once that thought crossed her mind, Bai Yi’s heart relaxed and she slowly moved to sit beside Lin Fan, waiting for the storm that was to come with him.
- And then!
- Lin Guangyao had arrived with Xu Ziheng and his hoard of people.
- Seeing that Lin Fan was still lazily sitting on the sofa, Lin Guangyao could feel his blood boiling.
- Thus, he said to Xu Ziheng, “Young Master! Just look at this poser! Cripple him, so that he can't behave like that anymore!”
- Such cruel words!
- At this point, Lin Guangyao was dying to hear Lin Fan’s screams of pain.
- Meanwhile, Wen Qian couldn’t contain the smile that was forming on her face as if she was already seeing the pathetic sight of Lin Fan being crippled.
- However, what happened next caused the sneers on Lin Guangyao and Wen Qian’s faces to freeze unnaturally!
- Thud!
- Thud!
- Both Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian actually fell to their knees in front of Lin Fan!
