125: Chapter 125 The Little Boy

Lin Fan muttered to himself.

A hint of doubt rose in his heart.

If that were the case, then it would make sense for this child to become a Fifth-Order Mage at such a young age...

Just like himself, soaring all the way up in just a few short weeks.

Of course.

That was because his System had malfunctioned, allowing him to level up frantically without any obstacles.

But there shouldn't be a second System.

In all the System novels he had read in his past life, there was never any mention of two Systems existing simultaneously.

Could there be another reason?

Lin Fan suddenly remembered.

In novels, there were often plots where old powerhouses encountered accidents, and their Physical Bodies turned into teenagers or even children.

Hmm, perhaps that's it.

Lin Fan was more willing to believe this explanation than to accept that there was a second System in the world.

Of course, no matter what the truth behind this child Fifth-Order Mage was.

Lin Fan was only certain of one thing.

He had to eradicate them all!

He probed the cultivation levels of the others around the child:

Only the one in the black robe was a Tier 4 Mage; the rest were all Tier 3 or Tier 2 Mages.

Probing complete.

Lin Fan deactivated the skill and activated Void Walk again, stepping into the white space as the door closed behind him.

In the next instant.

He stepped out of the spatial gate and appeared outside the Alliance Building.

Jiang Tianhai and the others were still on-site handling the aftermath.

They had just settled the rescued victims and were taking statements.

Lin Fan's "sudden" appearance was immediately noticed.

"Look! It's Mr. Chen!"

That person pointed at him and shouted excitedly.

Behind his mask, Lin Fan silently rolled his eyes.

This guy's voice was way too loud.

Hearing the shout, everyone looked over in unison.

"Oh my god, it really is Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen really did rescue everyone; they weren't lying!"

"Mr. Chen!"

Various shouts rose and fell one after another.

Lin Fan ignored them all and walked straight toward Jiang Tianhai.

Just as he was about to reach Jiang Tianhai, a figure blocked his path.

It was Lin Hu, holding his daughter.

Lin Fan could see at a glance the suppressed excitement of this man.

He was desperately restraining himself, not letting his tears fall.

"Mr... Mr. Chen, thank you! Thank you so much for saving my child!"

Lin Hu bowed deeply, his voice choking with emotion.

"Mm."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, walked past him, and continued toward the Branch Director, Jiang Tianhai.

"Mr. Chen! The Alliance owes you a favor this time, a debt of gratitude I can never repay!"

Jiang Tianhai looked at the approaching Lin Fan, his face full of gratitude.

But Lin Fan did not respond.

He just kept walking forward.

This left Jiang Tianhai slightly stunned, not knowing what was happening.

Walking up to Jiang Tianhai, Lin Fan finally spoke:

"Follow me."

He then looked at Wei Donglin: "You come too."

Both were completely confused, but they still nodded.

Wei Donglin stepped forward.

Jiang Tianhai turned back to look at Vice Minister Wei Rujun and the others.

He instructed them to finish the cleanup work outside before going in to inspect.

Several Directors and Deputy Directors took their orders and acted immediately.

Jiang Tianhai turned back around.

"Mr. Chen, where are we going?"

Lin Fan didn't answer and directly reached out to grab both of their wrists.

Boom...!

In the next moment.

The ground beneath his feet shattered with a bang, and Lin Fan shot into the sky like a rocket, a violent airwave sweeping in all directions.

The surrounding people could only raise their hands to block the dust and sand.

Everyone was stunned.

Mr. Chen had vanished with the two high-ranking officials of the Alliance Branch, leaving not even an afterimage behind!

On the other side.

By the time Jiang Tianhai and Wei Donglin reacted, they were already being carried at high speed through the sky.

The violent wind slapped their faces, making it impossible to even open their eyes.

The two of them: "..."

Just how terrifying was Mr. Chen's speed?

They were Tier 4 Mages!

Lin Fan didn't use Void Walk, nor did he use Spatial Instant Shift...

Both of those were Space-type Magic.

And the outside world knew that "Mr. Chen" was a Lightning Mage.

He dragged the two of them along.

He sped over Baiyun City at extreme speed, like a blurry shadow streaking across the sky.

A few seconds later, Lin Fan finally stopped and let go of them.

Jiang Tianhai and Wei Donglin finally managed to see clearly, but their heads were still spinning.

They propped their hands on their knees to recover for a while before looking up to survey their surroundings.

In front of them was a brightly lit villa with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang Tianhai and Wei Donglin looked at Lin Fan in confusion.

They didn't understand why he had brought them here.

"The remaining members of the Dark Alliance are inside. Prepare to make the arrest."

Lin Fan noticed their gazes and spoke expressionlessly.

Their faces changed instantly, their expressions becoming solemn as they stared intently at the villa.

They didn't know how Mr. Chen had found the Dark Alliance's second stronghold.

But since he had found the first one, he was absolutely credible.

The two immediately entered a combat state.

The strength of the Dark Alliance members at the first stronghold had been pitifully weak.

The truly powerful ones must be hidden here!

Lin Fan took the lead and walked toward the villa, with the two following closely behind.

But before they could get close.

One figure after another leaped out of the villa, landing ten meters in front of Lin Fan.

Leading them was that little boy eating a lollipop, followed by several mages in black and yellow robes.

"I didn't expect to have visitors. You must be Chen Ping; I'm not surprised you could find this place."

The little boy stared calmly at Lin Fan's mask.

There was not the slightest hint of panic at being discovered.

Lin Fan looked back at him.

He was still surprised by the other party's childlike appearance.

It wasn't just him.

Jiang Tianhai and Wei Donglin were also completely stunned.

They actually couldn't see through this child's cultivation level.

Either he wasn't a mage, or... he was stronger than them!

As for the others, the black-robed ones were Tier 4 Mages, while the yellow-robed ones were at the Tier 3 or Tier 2 level.

"Your Dark Alliance has committed many evils in Baiyun City. Surrender now, or don't blame us for taking action!"

Jiang Tianhai snapped back to his senses.

He took a step forward, crimson starlight igniting around his body.

"Branch Director, there's no need for that with me. I'm just a child; I can't go to jail yet. Besides... do you have the ability to catch me?"

The little boy took the lollipop out of his mouth.

His smile was innocent, but his eyes held a playful glint.

In the next moment.

A terrifying magic power suddenly erupted from his body, a wild wind sweeping through, causing everyone's robes to flutter frantically.

Jiang Tianhai: "..."

Wei Donglin: "..."

The two were completely dazed.

This child... is a Fifth-Order Mage?!

How is that possible?!

The little boy was very satisfied with their reaction.

He put the lollipop back in his mouth.

Because of the mask, he couldn't see Mr. Chen's expression, but that didn't matter.

What mattered was that he also couldn't see through Mr. Chen's cultivation!

He had clearly sensed the aura of a Fifth-Order Mage in the underground base earlier.

That must have been Chen Ping.

But why couldn't he see through it now?

The little boy's gaze fell on the white mask, and his eyes lit up.

So that's it... the mask is a magic tool that can shield against probing!

Having figured this out.

The little boy threw away the lollipop and spoke again:

"How about this? You've caused us heavy losses this time, so let's just let this matter go and go our separate ways."
