39: The reason of breathing air seems a bit excessive.

Lan Lan's unwillingness to borrow Qin Yan's strength was her own business.

But Lin Chuan had no such qualms; a thick thigh like that, it would be foolish not to cling to it.

Lin Chuan took out his phone and waved it in front of Yan Hao and his father.

The phone showed an ongoing call and was recording.

Most importantly, the contact displayed was:

Qin Yan - Beast Tamer Association President - Diamond Rank - Invincible - Eagle King Knight (Godfather, Master, Boss)

This string of remarks seemed designed to ensure no one would fail to notice.

Even more terrifying, the phone was on speaker, and Qin Yan's cold voice came from the other end:

"Good, I heard it!

If you touch a single hair on him, the Yan Family will cease to exist!"

"President Qin...? This... this must be a misunderstanding," Yan Yuanqing said with a trembling voice.

"Go back and tell Yan Batian to meet me at the Association tomorrow. Otherwise, I will pay him a visit personally."

With that, the call was hung up.

Inside the principal's office, you could hear a pin drop.

The other three people all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Lan Lan was actually alright, just shocked by the remarks on Lin Chuan's phone.

Coupled with Old Qin's unwavering protection of Lin Chuan, and such talent... could it be that this child really was Old Qin's illegitimate son?

Although Old Qin had never married, there was no guarantee he hadn't had some romantic entanglements... At this moment, Lan Lan thought of many things... No, she still had to ask Old Qin.

Even the pent-up Life Qi caused by Yan Hao's expulsion dissipated considerably.

As for Yan Hao and his father, it was pure terror.

"It's over, I knew it, I knew it..." Yan Hao kept muttering.

In his heart, he had long regarded Lin Chuan as a vengeful spirit sent specifically to claim his life.

Every time he encountered Lin Chuan, he would only be more unlucky than the last.

And Yan Yuanqing was already considering how many tables they would need if he and his son were to have a joint funeral feast.

The old man was still hale and hearty; it was truly possible he might restart a new life.

The words he had spoken to Yan Hao yesterday, might they now come true for himself?

With a "thud."

Yan Yuanqing directly knelt down.

"Dad, you..." Yan Hao watched in disbelief.

Although this child was used to bullying others by relying on power, he had clearly never experienced the harsh realities of society. When things came to him, he didn't know how to react and hadn't realized that the Yan Family could truly be annihilated at any moment.

This kind of matter could be big or small.

Ultimately, it still depended on obtaining Lin Chuan's forgiveness.

"I don't have a son like you, quickly kneel down for me."

Yan Yuanqing pulled Yan Hao down to kneel with him.

Then, he crawled on his knees to Lin Chuan.

"Student Lin Chuan, it's my fault, I kneel to apologize to you. Do as you please, whether to kill or to flay."

Yan Yuanqing looked as if he was ready to die, his attitude at this moment was very important.

"Then you two commit suicide."

"Huh?"

Yan Yuanqing and Yan Hao were both dumbfounded at the same time; this script wasn't right.

"What 'huh'? Didn't you say it?" Lin Chuan was too lazy to play these deceptive games with them. "Get up, I'm not used to people kneeling and talking to me; it makes me look like I'm bullying others by relying on power."

"???"

Isn't he?

The other three thought simultaneously.

However, Lin Chuan's words sounded like heavenly music to Yan Yuanqing and his son.

Asking them to get up meant that this matter could be discussed, it was simply a matter of the price.

"Student Lin Chuan, you decide how to handle this matter. I only ask that you explain to President Qin that it was all a misunderstanding, haha," Yan Yuanqing said ingratiatingly.

"Logically, this matter isn't for me to handle; Old Qin should discuss it with you."

Lin Chuan was telling the truth. Qin Yan had only heard what Yan Yuanqing said to Lin Chuan and didn't know that this guy had also threatened Lan Lan earlier.

Otherwise, the consequences would be far more severe than now; who knew what Qin Yan would do.

But clearly, these two people had no idea about this deeper connection. Otherwise, even with ten times their courage, they wouldn't dare to speak so presumptuously here.

"We wouldn't dare trouble Old Qin again. Whatever your demands, Student Lin Chuan, just say them directly."

"I am reasonable. Not to mention the effort and resources the school spent on Yan Hao, just regarding his collection of protection fees, what do you say we do about that?"

Let this brat enjoy himself for two and a half years, now cough it all up!

"Double, all of this will be returned double," Yan Yuanqing said hastily.

Double? Was he trying to imply that Lin Chuan hadn't seen much of the world? If so, then he couldn't be blamed.

"You just made my most respected Principal Lan Lan angry."

Lin Chuan said slowly.

"I'll compensate, another double compensation."

Yan Yuanqing seemed to realize that double repayment wasn't much; it was just a reflex born of urgency.

If Yan Hao's consumed resources and collected protection fees were used as units of measurement, one-time conversion would only be equivalent to 500 Spirit Stones and fifty vials of each of the two potions.

Among them, protection fees were the largest portion.

"You just slammed the table, damaging public property."

"Add another double."

"You dirtied the floor."

"Add another double."

"You..."

Lin Chuan couldn't think of any more reasons for a moment.

Breathing air as a reason seemed a bit excessive.

"Add another double."

Fortunately, Yan Yuanqing had already learned to anticipate.

"Alright, that'll do for now, exactly ten times, to make it a round number."

The total amounted to 5,000 Spirit Stones and 500 vials of each potion.

Even though the Yan Family had a small fortune, this time it would severely impact them, at least two years' worth of profits gone.

"As for my demands, I'll state them after you've finished talking with Old Qin."

"Huh?"

"What 'huh'? That was compensation for the school just now. The matter of you threatening me hasn't been settled yet."

"Alright."

What else could Yan Yuanqing say? He could only agree.

"Don't look so gloomy, at least you achieved your goal of coming to school, didn't you?" Lin Chuan consoled him.

Why did they come to school again?

That's right, they came to arrange Yan Hao's transfer.

At this moment, Yan Yuanqing finally understood why Yan Hao absolutely insisted on transferring; this guy was a devil!

...It wasn't until Yan Hao and his father left dejectedly that Lin Chuan remembered what he had come to do.

Damn, wasn't he here to beat up Yan Hao?

He thought about it and decided against it. After all, he had knelt and paid compensation.

Beating him again would be impolite.

"Uh, Principal, I'm taking off too, okay?"

Lin Chuan said, then planned to sneak away.

"You're really bold, daring to extort the Yan Family?"

"This isn't extortion. That kid is just an ungrateful wretch; he must return ten times over."

Lin Chuan said nonchalantly.

"Old Qin has been fair and upright his whole life, how could he have someone like you..."

Lan Lan stopped halfway through her sentence and glared at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, was puzzled. Why did she suddenly get angry while talking? But it didn't seem to be directed at him.

"Since you've driven Yan Hao away, then Third High School will have to rely on you."

"Is that all? No problem, leave it to me."

"You said it. In that case, give me another star promotion this month, there shouldn't be..."

As Lan Lan spoke, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. "You're already Black Iron Seven Stars?"

"Yes."

"Wait, wait... If I remember correctly, you only Breakthrough to Six Stars last week, right?"

"Yes, I had some insights after a major battle, so a Breakthrough shouldn't be a problem."

Lan Lan: "..."

After a major battle?

Didn't you just unilaterally abuse others?

Had some insights?

What insights? Beast Tamer, in essence, relies on accumulating resources. Whoever absorbs faster and absorbs more can level up quicker.

"Heh, hehe..."

Lan Lan no longer wanted to speak and simply told Lin Chuan to get out.
