229: Chapter 229 Reorganizing the Squad

Hou San's voice trembled slightly.

He deliberately emphasized the words "a portion".

This was him testing Lin Fan's bottom line.

Lin Fan did not reach out to take those few storage bags.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and gently blew on the floating tea leaves.

"Is this all?"

Lin Fan's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Hou San's body suddenly stiffened.

He felt an invisible pressure enveloping him.

Hou San gritted his teeth, preparing to take out the other two high-grade storage bags hidden in his inner pocket.

But at this moment, Lin Fan put down his teacup.

"That's enough, put them away."

Lin Fan tapped his fingers on the table twice.

"I, Lin Fan, value rules most when doing business."

"You worked for me and turned the Zhao family upside down."

"The things you put in your pockets are your hard-earned wages."

"Myriad Treasures Pavilion is not so petty as to miss these scraps."

Lin Fan's words left Hou San stunned in place.

Iron Bull stopped wiping his mouth.

Yellow Great Immortal opened his mouth in surprise.

Old Drunkard even stifled his hiccups.

The doctor pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

They had originally thought Lin Fan would be furious and might even punish them.

But they didn't expect that Lin Fan didn't care at all about the wealth they had embezzled.

Hou San couldn't believe his ears.

"Boss, are you saying these things are all ours now?"

Hou San asked tentatively.

Lin Fan nodded.

"Not only are they yours, but I will also give you an extra bonus."

Lin Fan turned to look at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng immediately stepped forward.

Qin Feng took out five blind boxes emitting a faint glow from his storage ring.

The shells of these five blind boxes were dark gold.

Complex defensive inscriptions were carved on the surface.

Qin Feng placed the five blind boxes in front of Hou San and the others respectively.

"These are special blind boxes prepared by the Boss personally for you."

"Each blind box contains items that suit your respective specialties."

Qin Feng announced loudly.

Hou San looked at the dark gold blind box in front of him and swallowed hard.

He knew how magical the blind boxes from Myriad Treasures Pavilion were.

Hou San couldn't wait to place his hand on the lid of the blind box.

With a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.

The lid of the blind box popped open.

A silver light shot out from the blind box.

An ancient book made of unknown animal hide lay quietly in the box.

Hou San picked up the ancient book.

On the cover, the four large characters "Void Shadow" were written.

This was a top-tier B-grade movement martial art.

Hou San's hands began to tremble violently.

The movement technique he originally practiced was only an incomplete C-grade technique.

This "Void Shadow" was enough to increase his speed by three levels.

Iron Bull also opened his blind box.

Inside the box was a red pill emitting a strong aura of blood energy.

This was a B-grade Body Tempering Pill that could strengthen bone and muscle density.

Yellow Great Immortal opened a set of B-grade illusion formation equipment composed of thirty-six formation flags.

Old Drunkard opened a special sniper rifle barrel engraved with wind-type acceleration inscriptions.

The doctor opened a remnant of a poison scripture recording formulas for hundreds of rare poisons.

The five people looked at the items in their hands.

Their breathing became heavy.

These things could not be bought on the market at all.

Even with money, there was no channel to purchase them.

With these blind boxes, Lin Fan precisely struck the deepest desires in each of their hearts.

Hou San fell to his knees with a thud.

"Boss is generous!"

"From now on, this life of mine, Hou San, belongs to the Boss!"

"Wherever you point, I will strike; I will never frown!"

Iron Bull also knelt on one knee.

"I, Iron Bull, don't know how to speak well, but from now on, whoever dares to touch the Boss, I will chop him!"

Yellow Great Immortal, Old Drunkard, and the doctor also stood up one after another.

They bowed deeply to Lin Fan.

This was their heartfelt submission.

Lin Fan looked at these five unruly villains in front of him.

He knew that in applying both grace and awe, the grace had been given enough.

Now it was time to demonstrate awe.

Lin Fan slowly stood up from his chair.

He did not speak.

But a terrifying wave of blood energy erupted from his body.

This wave instantly swept through the entire underground banquet hall.

The pressure of a fourth-stage Grandmaster Level was released without reservation.

The air became incredibly thick.

Hou San felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

His knees hit the floor heavily, making a dull sound.

Iron Bull's massive body was also forced to bend over.

Yellow Great Immortal's face turned pale.

The wine glass in Old Drunkard's hand was shattered into powder by this pressure.

Veins bulged on the back of the doctor's hand holding the poison scripture remnant.

Lin Fan raised his right hand.

A ball of dark red flame ignited out of thin air at his fingertips.

The Divine Ember Flame emitted a suffocating high temperature.

Lin Fan casually flicked this ball of flame toward a fruit plate made of star alloy in the center of the dining table.

The incredibly hard star alloy, the moment it touched the Divine Ember Flame.

Made no sound at all.

It vaporized directly and disappeared into the air.

Leaving not even a trace of residue.

Hou San looked at the empty tabletop, his scalp tingling.

He finally understood why Lin Fan didn't care about the small amount of supplies they had embezzled.

Because in the face of absolute power, the means they were so proud of were not worth mentioning at all.

Lin Fan could turn them into air at any time.

Lin Fan withdrew his pressure.

The Divine Ember Flame also extinguished.

The air in the banquet hall returned to circulation.

Hou San and the others gasped for air.

Their backs were completely soaked with cold sweat.

"I have given you the items, and I have set the rules."

"Follow me, and you will have meat to eat."

"If you have any ulterior motives."

Lin Fan pointed to the spot where the fruit plate had just been.

"You know the consequences yourselves."

The five people lowered their heads in unison.

No one dared to look Lin Fan in the eye.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with this effect.

He sat back down in his chair.

"Now, let's start assigning the next tasks."

Lin Fan's tone returned to calm.

"Although the Zhao family has been uprooted in Jianghai City, their headquarters in the capital still exists."

"They have now activated their defensive formation and are playing the role of a tortoise hiding in its shell."

"However, even a dog will jump over a wall if it's desperate."

"Our South Suburb Base must make comprehensive defensive preparations."

Lin Fan looked at Yellow Great Immortal.

"Yellow Great Immortal, use the newly obtained formation flags to upgrade all the perimeter early-warning formations and illusion formations of the base."

"I want it so that even if a fly flies in, it will trigger an alarm."

Yellow Great Immortal immediately nodded and accepted the order.

"Don't worry, Boss. With this set of B-grade formation flags, I guarantee to turn this South Suburb Base into an iron bucket."

Lin Fan turned to look at Iron Bull.

"Iron Bull, you and your people are responsible for the daily patrols and physical defense of the base's perimeter."

"Any suspicious personnel approaching within 500 meters of the base should be detained directly."

Iron Bull patted his chest forcefully.

"Leave it to me!"

Lin Fan looked at Old Drunkard.

"Old Drunkard, the observation tower at the highest point of the base is yours."

"Equip the new barrel and keep a close watch on the three main roads leading to the base for me."

Old Drunkard touched the sniper rifle barrel in his hand and chuckled.

"Boss, as long as my wine is enough, within a thousand meters, I'll hit whatever you point at."

Lin Fan looked at the doctor.

"Doctor, the area on the second underground floor is designated for you to establish a medical room and toxicology laboratory."

"Whatever equipment and medicinal materials you need, go directly to Qin Feng for reimbursement."

"I need you to develop a special poison for Grandmaster Level martial artists as soon as possible."

The doctor pushed up his glasses, a flash of fanatical light in his eyes.

"Understood, Boss."

Finally, Lin Fan turned his gaze to Hou San.

"Hou San, your task is the heaviest."

"I want you to spread all your informants to every corner of the capital."

"Especially around the Zhao family compound."

"Who enters and leaves the Zhao family every day, what supplies are transported, and even what Zhao Haokun eats every day."

"I want to know it all clearly."

Hou San immediately straightened his back.

"Don't worry, Boss; gathering intelligence is my specialty."

"Within three days, I will even find out the location of the Zhao family's ancestral graves for you."

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"Go and prepare."

Hou San and the others immediately turned and left the banquet hall.

Their steps were firmer than when they entered.

Qin Feng watched the five people leave, then walked to Lin Fan's side.

"Brother Fan, these guys are now completely loyal."

Qin Feng said with some emotion.

Lin Fan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Villains have their uses."

"As long as the benefits are great enough and the deterrence is strong enough, they are the best knives to use."

Lin Fan put down the teacup and stood up.

"Let's go, let's go meet our mysterious Assistant Mo."

A sharp light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
