Cultivation Pet Shop

In a dark room in the center of the slum city.

There was a man who was sitting in the dark in a luxurious chair as if he was waiting for something.

Then all of sudden, there was a cloaked figure that also appeared in the room.

As soon as this cloaked figure appeared, they immediately kneeled down in front of the man sitting in the chair.

The man in the chair didn't open his eyes when the cloaked figure appeared, he didn't even say a word as he sat there as if he was lost in his own world.

After an unknown amount of time, the man finally opened his eyes and asked, "Is it done?"

The cloaked figure gave a bow before saying, "Yes, young master, it's done. They're both dead."

The man finally looked down at the cloaked figure and said, "Their bodies?"

The cloaked figure pointed behind him and after a nod from the man, the cloaked figure went outside before bringing in two corpses. One was the corpse of an old man and the other was the corpse of a little girl.

The man looked at these two corpses for a bit before saying, "Set them down in front of me and let me take a look."

The cloaked figure followed these orders and put the two corpses down side by side in front of the man.

The man looked down at the two corpses in silence for a bit before suddenly kicking out at the corpse of the old man. This corpse hit the old man's corpse right in the head and caused the head to tilt in an unnatural manner.

Seeing this, the man revealed a satisfied look before kicking the old man's corpse a few more times.

As he did this, he said, "You old fart, you dare disobey my orders and pledge your loyalty to this useless little girl? You think that you could get away from me? You thought that I wouldn't find you and her?"

It was almost as if he was venting some kind of past grievance.

After a while, he gave a snort and said, "Look at you now! It seems like you chose the wrong master to follow."

He looked like he was about to spit on the old man's corpse, but before he did, he suddenly looked like he changed his mind and stopped himself.

After a bit more kicking, he turned his attention to the corpse of the little girl.

This time, his reaction was very different.

After looking at the little girl for a bit, he suddenly revealed a smile and said, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of that woman's daughter. If she was allowed to grow a few more years, she definitely would have become a good woman. It's just too bad that she had to run away and was starved like this, or I might have even wanted to take her as my toy. It's a pity that she was born into this family."

Then without a care, he waved his hand for the cloaked figure to come over.

The cloaked figure didn't dare hesitate and quickly came up to the man sitting in the chair even though he didn't know what he wanted.

When the cloaked figure came over, the man reached out his hand towards him as if he was demanding something. The cloaked figure just looked at this outstretched hand with a confused look since he didn't know what the man was asking for.

Seeing that the cloaked figure wasn't doing anything, the man suddenly knitted his brows to look at him and said, "Well? Where is it?"

The cloaked figure's confused expression filled with even more confusion as he asked, "Young master, where is what? I don't know what you're asking for."

The man knitted his brows even more before giving an angry snort and saying, "The token! Where's the token that was on him! I don't believe that he wouldn't have the token since that's the only thing that would link this filthy girl with our family. It was the only thing that he could use to return this little girl to her rightful position." Then after a pause, he added, "It's all meaningless without the token, so if you're telling that you don't have it…"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning behind them was made clear.

The cloaked figure panicked a bit when he heard this and his mind quickly turned before he suddenly looked like he had thought of something, "Ah, that token!"

After saying this, he dug around in his chest for a bit before taking out a token for the man.

This was a very simple token that didn't have much decorations on it other than a single peach blossom engraved on it. But that wasn't the important part, the most important part was that there was a very large "Mu" that was engraved on it.

Seeing this token, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he snatched it out of the hands of the cloaked figure.

He turned it around a few times to look it over before suddenly squeezing it. The token didn't break under the pressure he put on it, but rather it released a peach blossom pink barrier around it that protected it against the force he used.

However, this barrier wasn't able to last long under his grip and it quickly shattered with one quick squeeze.

But the man wasn't bothered by this at all.

Rather, he revealed a faint smile since this was the reaction that he had been looking for.

This token was created for a special person and out of fear that this special person would be hurt, the one who had this token made had this special function added to it.

Seeing it now meant that this token was indeed the real token.

The man suddenly broke out in laughter as he said, "Good, good, I never thought that I'd really be able to find this token like this. As long as I have this token, then the world is in my hands!"

After laughing for a bit, the man suddenly looked at the cloaked figure and said, "Speak. Did you plan on hiding this token from me?"

The cloaked figure was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly bowed his head and said, "I wouldn't dare, young master! I just didn't know that you wanted this!"

The man didn't say anything as he just looked at the cloaked figure for a bit.

The silence that lasted during this time was oppressive, but then the man suddenly said, "Alright, I know that you wouldn't betray me. Especially since you know that your family won't live if you dare betray me."

The cloaked figure trembled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in response.

The man then suddenly changed the topic as he asked, "What about that person that I wanted you to investigate?"

The cloaked figure immediately pulled out a folder for the man and said, "It is all here, young master."

The man took the folder and opened it up. On the first page of that packet was an information sheet that also had a picture attached to it.

That picture was a picture of Lin Fan.

This entire folder was actually an investigation into Lin Fan's background.

The cloaked man then said, "As you can see, young master, this person is someone who suddenly appeared in the slum city a while ago and has slowly worked his way up."

This packet didn't include information on how Lin Fan had taken over the three gangs today since it had happened too recently for them to receive information on.

The man looked at the sheet for a few minutes before throwing it to the side and saying, "This isn't important. He's just insignificant trash that isn't involved in this at all, so there's no need for us to take care of him. After all, it would be more trouble than it's worth to take care of him."

The information that he was reading on Lin Fan was actually the fake information that Lin Fan had Xia Liu prepare. He knew that it would be strange for him to suddenly show up in this city, so he had already taken precautions against this.

The fake story that Xia Liu had made was that he was someone who had entered his gang a while back and had slowly been climbing the ranks.

In the slum city, a story like this was easily faked as long as they had enough money and Lin Fan didn't lack money.

The man didn't really care if this story was true or false since he had already accomplished his goal.

Now there was only a single thing left for him to take care of.

Putting the token away, the man finally stood up from the chair that he had been sitting in.

The cloaked figure was surprised to see this man suddenly standing up, but he didn't do anything as he just respectfully stayed there on one knee. After all, he knew that even if he wanted to do anything, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

That was because the man in front of him was a true World Realm Expert.

The man looked down at the cloaked figure and said with a smile, "You've done very well. I'll be sure to reward your family for everything that you've done."

The cloaked figure was filled with joy hearing these words as he quickly said, "Thank you, young…"

Before he could finish, he found that the world had suddenly started to spin. The world seemed to turn upside down right in front of him.

The man then said, "However, your services will no longer be required. Please have a nice trip to the Yellow Springs."

Without even bothering to look at his handiwork, the man turned around and walked out of the room without making a sound. He didn't even bother sparing a single glance back to the two corpses on the ground.

Just now, with a single flick of his hand, he had chopped off the head of the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure didn't even know how he died as he died. There was only a wide eyed look of shock on his face as he realized that he had died.

Not long after the man left, the house was suddenly filled with flames and it started to burn.

However, it was also at that moment that the headless cloaked figure stood up and picked up its head to put back on its body. After putting the head back on, the cloaked figure said, "He truly is ruthless, he doesn't even spare his subordinates."

Then without another word, he picked up the two corpses on the ground and pulled out three more corpses from the side before leaving that place.
