189: Chapter 189 Since that's how it is, I'll stop pretending.

Jiang Tianhai did not give any orders; he simply watched coldly from the sidelines.

This matter had already involved a personal vendetta, and the Alliance did not want to intervene unless absolutely necessary.

Wei Yuan and Yun Wei shared the same thought.

Wei Yuan already had high expectations for Lin Fan, and at this moment, he wanted to see what he was capable of even more.

If Su Yunsheng dared to act recklessly, he would step in to support Lin Fan; for now, he just needed to wait and see.

"I hope he doesn't take his revenge too far; after all, his sister isn't dead."

Su Yunsheng thought to himself.

After gritting his teeth and remaining silent for a few seconds, Su Yunsheng finally made a decision, looked at Lin Fan, and spoke:

"Fine, I admit my daughter was wrong, but she is just young and naive. As an adult, you should understand."

"A real man should know how to forgive mistakes. Tell me, what compensation do you want? I can satisfy any request."

Many people frowned upon hearing this, immediately sensing that he wasn't genuinely apologizing. He hadn't even said 'I'm sorry'; he just wanted to use money to settle the matter and save face!

But they had no right to interfere; everything depended on Lin Fan's choice.

Thus, they all turned their heads to look at him, waiting for his response.

Lin Fan naturally saw through Su Yunsheng's trick, trying to use wealth to shut him up.

How laughable. What did wealth matter to Mr. Chen?

The smile on the corners of Lin Fan's mouth deepened as he spoke slowly:

"I'll say it one more time: when it concerns my family, I'm sorry, but I don't count as a 'real man.'"

"You want to know what compensation I want? It's very simple..."

"I want her life!"

The moment those words fell, silver light flared in Lin Fan's eyes, and a Star Array condensed above his head.

"Telekinesis Control!"

He raised his left hand like a flash of lightning, and an invisible force instantly snatched the injured girl off the ground.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

No one had expected Lin Fan to take such an extreme action.

His movements were so fast that even the Fifth-Order Mages present couldn't see them clearly.

Immediately after, a sharp sound of bone cracking rang out.

Lin Fan forcefully snapped the girl's other arm in the opposite direction. Bone fragments pierced through the flesh, and blood sprayed out.

The girl let out a piercingly shrill scream, struggling feebly in the air.

Lin Fan originally wanted to snap her neck directly, but he didn't want to do it in front of his parents, so he held back for the moment.

"You bastard! Take him down!"

Su Yunsheng was so angry his heart felt like it would explode.

When Lin Fan said he wanted his daughter's life just now, his Soul was Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

But seeing the other party only break her other arm instead made him feel like Lin Fan was intentionally toyed with him.

Su Yunsheng led a large group of bodyguards, swarming forward to charge at Lin Fan.

Aunt Mi Xue and Ge Ying immediately took their positions, preparing to protect Lin Fan.

But just as Su Yunsheng's group was about to reach them...

Several figures descended from the sky, blocking their path.

The newcomers were Wei Yuan, Jiang Tianhai, and surprisingly, the Dean of Longwei Magic Academy.

Su Yunsheng's group came to a sudden halt, their faces twisting as they looked at the three powerful figures standing before them.

"Are you going to protect this lunatic? Can't you see what he's doing?!"

Su Yunsheng gritted his teeth, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Among the three in front of him, two were Fifth-Order Mages and one was a Tier 3 Mage.

And he was merely a Tier 3; he had no power to resist.

"Although I don't entirely agree with his methods, he is a student of this academy. I cannot allow you to lay a hand on him."

The Dean stroked his long beard and spoke slowly.

"The same goes for me. I've taken an interest in this kid and plan to recruit him into Yundu Magic University. I absolutely cannot let you get near him."

Wei Yuan said indifferently.

Jiang Tianhai didn't need to say more; the two Seniors had already stated their positions. He turned to look at Lin Fan with a serious expression:

"Kid, that's enough. I understand your anger over your sister's injury, but your public display of violence has exceeded the Alliance's bottom line of tolerance. The Alliance has the right to detain and interrogate you."

If Lin Fan had only administered a mild punishment or demanded compensation, it would have been fine.

But the Alliance could not tolerate this kind of public torture.

However, considering the girl was at fault first, Jiang Tianhai also wanted to end it here before things worsened.

Lin Fan looked back at Jiang Tianhai, then at his parents, without responding to Jiang Tianhai.

Instead, he directly told them the address of the hospital where Lin Duo was located.

The meaning was clear: he wanted his parents to leave first.

"Lin Fan..."

Lin Jian spoke in a low voice, unwilling to leave his son alone in this place of conflict.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lin Fan smiled. His smile was no longer cold and crazed, but genuine and gentle.

Lin Jian looked at Aunt Mi Xue and Ge Ying standing in front of Lin Fan, then at the three powerful figures blocking Su Yunsheng's group.

Finally, he nodded and left with Xia Yue.

After the two left the venue, the Arena fell into silence once more, and everyone's gaze fell back onto the competition stage.

"Now, are you willing to release that girl?"

Jiang Tianhai's gaze was sharp as he questioned Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't answer; his perception remained locked on his parents' movements.

Only after confirming they were far from the Arena did he look coldly at Jiang Tianhai:

"Stay out of this."

Jiang Tianhai's body trembled slightly as he looked at Lin Fan in shock.

He was actually intimidated by the gaze of a youth?

Before he could retort, another sound of bone cracking echoed through the venue.

Everyone instinctively looked at the girl imprisoned by telekinesis, thinking Lin Fan was going to break her bones again.

But the moment they saw the scene clearly, everyone's pupils constricted, their faces full of disbelief.

The girl's head hung backward at a bizarre angle, motionless.

She was dead.

Lin Fan had snapped her neck.

He... he really killed her!

This thought exploded in everyone's minds.

Aunt Mi Xue and Ge Ying were also stunned; they never expected Lin Fan to kill someone in public!

"Lin Fan, what on earth have you done?"

Ge Ying murmured in a low voice, still unable to believe the reality before her eyes.

Su Yunsheng went completely mad. His magic power erupted as he charged straight at Lin Fan, only to be blocked by the old Dean again.

At the same time.

Jiang Tianhai's eyes turned cold as he announced Lin Fan's arrest on charges of murder.

"What makes you think you're qualified to arrest me?"

Lin Fan whispered to himself, and the aura around him began to change drastically, climbing step by step!

Just as Lin Fan was about to release the pressure of a high-level mage...

An eerie aura swept through the entire Arena.

Whether they were mages or ordinary people, everyone felt it clearly.

Everyone stopped their movements and looked around.

This feeling was hard to describe, yet it made one's entire body feel uneasy.

Lin Fan was also affected. He paused the eruption of his aura and spread out his perception to investigate.

Just then.

In the sky above Baiyun City, a massive phantom of a black-robed figure slowly emerged.

The attention of the entire venue was instantly drawn as everyone looked up.

Many people recognized this phantom at a glance.

They couldn't see the face clearly, but that black robe was something they would never forget...

It's someone from the Dark Alliance!

A Black-Robed Mage from the Dark Alliance!

Lin Fan's eyes darkened as he also recognized the opponent.

This was the person responsible for that underground base holding missing children that he had destroyed back then.

He hadn't expected this group to reappear in Baiyun City after having fled for so long.

The phantom looked down over the entire Baiyun City. From beneath the hood, a pair of sharp eyes glinted with a cold light.
