198: Chapter 198 You are Chen Ping?!
While Lin Jian had reasons to be conservative, Lin Fan couldn't force a decision for him.
But as long as there was enough confidence to back it up, he could always persuade his family.
To that end, he suggested selling the Void Demon corpse they had received and giving all the proceeds to his parents.
Even Lin Fan himself was shocked...
That Void Demon corpse actually sold for the astronomical price of ten billion yuan.
He was already calculating in his mind to hunt a few more Void Demons in the future.
Regardless.
With the family's assets increasing by ten billion yuan out of thin air, Lin Jian no longer had any reason to refuse Lin Fan's proposal to buy a luxury mansion.
With this much money, let alone one, buying a hundred such luxury mansions would be more than enough.
Now, they could almost be considered the wealthiest family in the entire city.
After the family moved into their new home, they spent the whole night touring the mansion in awe.
They had never lived in such a beautiful house; everything felt as unreal as a dream.
Lin Duo was especially excited about the new home, running around various rooms with boundless energy.
Bright and magnificent chandeliers hung from the ceiling.
The smooth marble floors were as polished as mirrors, and the exquisite, sophisticated furniture exuded luxury everywhere.
It was as if they had stepped into another world!
Lin Fan watched all this with a smile.
He felt very satisfied with the improvement in his family's quality of life.
He soon returned to his own room, leaving the rest of the tour time to his family.
Lin Fan's room was several times larger than his previous bedroom in the suburbs.
An extra-large double bed sat right in the center, with a door on each side of the bedroom leading to a private bathroom and a walk-in closet.
He didn't go to check them immediately but lay directly on the bed, his body sinking slightly into the soft mattress.
The texture was perfect!
Even in his previous world.
Lin Fan had never experienced such comfort.
Contented, he soon prepared to fall into a deep sleep.
But at the very moment he was about to fall completely asleep.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
He had already told his parents he wanted to rest early, so even if he wasn't in the room, his family wouldn't come looking for him.
Lin Fan spread out his perception, enveloping the entire city, and soon locked onto his target.
The next moment, he vanished from the room without a trace.
A moment later.
Lin Fan appeared on the roof of a luxury mansion.
Standing on the roof with sharp eyes, he quietly listened to the movements inside the house.
In the spacious living room of the mansion, Su Yunsheng paced back and forth with a face full of rage.
Not far away, several men in black suits and sunglasses stood straight with their hands behind their backs.
They were all mages, each with strength reaching Rank 1 or above, and were the Su Family's private soldiers; there were as many as twenty of them in the living room.
"That kid killed my daughter in public, and just because of a few words of bullshit from Chen Ping, the Alliance is going to protect him?!"
Su Yunsheng gnashed his teeth, so angry his head felt like it was about to explode.
The twenty-plus black-clad mages watched him motionlessly, expressionless, waiting for orders.
"I can't swallow this insult! Since he dared to kill someone from the Su Family, I'll exterminate his whole family! I want everyone to know the consequences of provoking the Su Family!"
Su Yunsheng roared.
Finally, a mage spoke up, reminding Su Yunsheng that if they moved against Lin Fan's family, the Alliance would surely notice and would never let it slide.
"So what? Would they really dare to take action against us for a few nobodies? At most, it'll just be a fine."
Su Yunsheng's eyes were sinister.
"But... Mr. Chen..."
The mage spoke again.
Hearing Mr. Chen's name, Su Yunsheng's expression changed slightly, showing a hint of wariness.
"Damn it, that Chen Ping is getting more and more infuriating. Fine, I know what to do."
A cruel smile slowly curled on Su Yunsheng's face.
He planned to have people act in secret; that way, no one would suspect him.
"Oh? Is that so? Why don't you tell me your plan and let me hear it too?"
Just then, a calm voice rang out from one side of the living room.
Su Yunsheng was shocked and suddenly turned to look at the source of the voice.
Not just him, the twenty-plus mages were equally shocked...
Someone had silently infiltrated the living room, and they hadn't noticed at all.
When they saw clearly the person who had spoken, everyone's eyes widened.
It was the very youth they were just discussing... Lin Fan!
"You... how did you get in?!"
Su Yunsheng asked in shock.
"Does it matter? I heard you calculating how to deal with my family. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"I'm quite interested. If your plan isn't good enough, I can even help you come up with some ideas."
Lin Fan had a smile on his face.
It was the same smile he had when he appeared in the Arena during the day.
Su Yunsheng subconsciously took a step back.
For some reason, Lin Fan's smile struck fear into his heart, but he soon forced himself to stay calm.
"You killed my daughter and think you can get away scot-free?"
"Since you've delivered yourself to my door, I'll kill you first, then send your family to join you!"
Su Yunsheng shouted sharply, immediately ordering the mages to kill Lin Fan.
The twenty-plus mages instantly charged at Lin Fan with full force, prepared to slay him on the spot.
Lin Fan still wore a smile, and a Purple Lightning glow gradually flickered in his eyes.
"As expected, you didn't take the Alliance's warning to heart at all."
As his voice fell, he transformed into a bolt of Purple Lightning, weaving through the charging mages.
The next second.
Lin Fan appeared behind the mages, thunder still lingering around his body.
And those mages all froze in place for several seconds.
Then they collapsed to the ground with a crash, blood gushing from their necks.
In the instant he passed through them, Lin Fan had already torn their throats with lightning.
Su Yunsheng stood dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.
"How... what's going on? What kind of power is this?!"
He stammered incoherently, his face full of disbelief.
He looked at the corpses on the ground, then at Lin Fan, who was surrounded by Purple Lightning in front of him.
"This is impossible. Aren't you a Space Mage? What on earth are you?!"
"You're asking why I can use the Lightning Element? It's simple."
Before Lin Fan's voice had even faded, a mask and black robe instantly covered his body. "Because I am Chen Ping."
His tone was calm as he then dissipated the mask and black robe.
"You... you are Chen Ping? No, impossible. Chen Ping is a peerless powerhouse, you're just a kid!"
Su Yunsheng roared almost frantically.
Such a shock would cause anyone to break down.
Yet Lin Fan thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of this moment.
Watching someone's reaction upon learning he was Chen Ping right before their death gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Let me tell you one more secret."
Lin Fan removed the mask and black robe, his voice cold. "From the moment your daughter hurt my sister, I never intended to let any of you live."
...
Morning soon arrived.
The residents of Baiyun City welcomed another busy day.
After Lin Fan and his family finished breakfast, they set off for the [Wave Adventurers Guild].
A message had been sent in the group chat.
Telling everyone to gather; the guild had also been hired to participate in clearing the ruins of yesterday's battlefield.
