Chapter 51: Questions
When they came out the back and returned to the main club in the front, there was still no one in sight.
It was like everyone had suddenly disappeared and there was only this empty building left. It was almost like being in a ghost building…
But they didn't mind any of this and walked right out the entrance to a street that was also completely empty.
This time, Lin Fan was surprised because this was a popular street in the second ring and to empty it like this, it definitely took quite a bit of influence. This showed just how much power this "young miss" had…
Even if the street around the club was cleared with the police raid, there should have been plenty of people and cars that would have passed by this place since this was a street that connected to many places…
But now, it was completely empty.
In the end, Lin Fan decided not to care about this since there was nothing he could do even if he did care about it.
Lin Fan walked down the street with Murong Yue and went around the corner, walking forward until they finally came to a street that had people there.
There wasn't a blockade around the area that the club was at, it was almost as if there was some kind of tacit understanding between everyone who was around the area not to head that way. It was almost as if there was an invisible barrier that was keeping them out.
It didn't take long for Lin Fan to deduce that this had to be the power of some power user.
It seemed like the powers of a power user varied quite a bit and there were even things like this…
Lin Fan also began wondering just how many power users there were under the "young miss"...
It didn't take them long to find a taxi which they took right back to Lin Fan's apartment.
Neither of them were in the mood for anything after what had happened tonight, so they both headed off to go to sleep.
It was a sleep without any dreams for Lin Fan and when he woke up, he was still tired, but his body refused to continue to sleep, so Lin Fan had no choice but to wake up.
The first thing Lin Fan did was check the system interface since it had told him that he had finished the E rank quest last night.
"Congratulations host on finishing the E rank quest 'Metamorphosis'. You have now unlocked the A rank quest 'Princess of Disaster'."
"The rewards are now available to be released, please take the time to accept them."
These were the words that had popped up after Ouyang Yan's charcoal statue had been turned into ashes.
Lin Fan looked at the rewards that he had received and found that they were simply points and a spin chance just like last time. He didn't even receive a special reward like the Nova Group or the Yasha Group like last time.
However, there was also something different from last time.
"Congratulations host. Since you have saved all your load chances, you have received five free load chances."
This was something that Lin Fan had also received when he completed his first F rank quest, but it had been grayed out the entire time, so Lin Fan never had access to it before. But when Lin Fan looked in his inventory now, he was able to see the information for the load chances that were there.
As it turned out, these were free load chances that he could use on top of the load chances that the system gave him for each mission.
For Lin Fan, this meant that each of these free load chances was an extra life that he could use if he ever ran out of lives. They were basically one up mushrooms for him!
That meant that these things were incredibly rare and he should try to save them for as long as he could just in case there was a very dangerous quest, namely these B and A rank quests…
But this was also a very good piece of information for Lin Fan.
He had never been able to save any load chances before, so he never knew about this. However, now that he had learned about this, it changed the way he viewed his loads.
In the second quest, he had thought that loads should be used as freely as he could to get as much information as he could, but now that didn't seem to be the case. If he was able to save them, they would be much more valuable to him in the future.
But of course, that didn't mean that he should avoid using those loads as much as possible since they were also very valuable that way. Lin Fan began to consider how he would use this system in the future…
While he was thinking about this, Lin Fan's phone suddenly rang that drew him out of his thoughts.
Lin Fan turned to look at his phone and found that it was from a familiar person. It was Yan Luo.
When Lin Fan picked up, the first thing he heard was Yan Luo's laughter, "Ha, ha, ha, you really are something!"
Lin Fan was confused as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Yan Luo continued to laugh as he said, "I only told you about that place last night and you already got them all arrested, I really don't know what to say."
Lin Fan knitted his brows as he asked, "What is going to happen to that place? How are you going to get it?"
Yan Luo was clearly surprised as he fell silent, but then he said, "It's currently being held by the police as a crime scene, but once the investigation is over, it will be available again. We've already contacted the owner and "coerced" him into giving this place to us. It's already an established place, so it won't take us long to get it up and running again. I'm sure it'll earn us quite a bit."
At this, Yan Huo broke out in laughter once again.
But Lin Fan knitted his brows since it all seemed too smooth to him.
After a bit, Lin Fan asked, "Doesn't it all seem like it's going too smoothly? Almost like it's a trap?"
Yan Luo immediately understood Lin Fan's concern and said, "Don't worry about it, we have our own contact that is making sure that everything goes smoothly, so there's nothing to worry about."
Lin Fan immediately picked up on this and asked, "Who is your contact?"
Yan Luo paused for a second, but then he said with a sigh, "Alright, since you're the boss, I guess I can tell you this. It's someone called Yan Huo. He was actually the one who gave us the information that I gave you..."
Lin Fan heard nothing else after that.
The words Yan Huo echoed in his mind as he remembered that person that he had met last night.
It seemed like his suspicions were correct, this had all been set up by the "young miss" so that she could meet him…
She also had connections in the police based on how they had followed her orders last night without any questioning. Could it mean that even the actions of Chief Zhao were ordered by her?
Just how much of this was all planned by her?
Lin Fan found it hard to grasp, it almost felt like he had been dancing in Kou Yu Na's palms the entire time…
That was more than enough to show him just how small and insignificant he was.
But it also made him wonder, since these were girls that he knew in other worlds, just how had he met them?
What kind of lives was he living in all these other worlds?
While Lin Fan was standing there in a daze, Yan Luo kept saying, "Hello, are you still there?"
Yan Luo had finally finished talking, but for a long time, he didn't hear anything from Lin Fan, so he didn't know what was going on.
It took Lin Fan a while before he came back to his senses, but when he did, the first thing he asked was, "What are you planning on doing with the club?"
Yan Luo was taken aback by Lin Fan's sudden question, but then he said, "What else would we be doing? We wanted the club because it made money and it was influential, so of course we'll be running it the same way."
Lin Fan immediately said, "No, we can't do that."
Yan Luo was confused as he asked, "Why not?"
Lin Fan said, "Change the plan, don't do anything they did before other than the legal stuff."
Yan Luo was even more confused as he asked, "Is there a reason why we should do that?"
While Lin Fan didn't know much about this, he knew that the things that the Starry Club was doing before were not good. If it wasn't for the "young miss" helping them suppress everything, they would have been caught a long time ago.
Lin Fan didn't know how the "young miss" would feel about him, but without that same support, they would certainly be caught much faster.
Since that was the case, they should stop everything that would bring trouble to them.
Lin Fan said, "It's for our own good."
Yan Huo didn't give up as he said, "But we have the young miss…"
Lin Fan suddenly cut him off, "She won't help."
Yan Huo knitted his brows on the other side, but then he said, "Alright, I get what you're saying. The club will earn enough even if we run it legally that it won't be a problem, especially if we tear down some of the space in the back, so I'll take care of it."
Lin Fan didn't say anything else, he just said, "Thanks."
After saying that, he hung up.
There was somewhere else he needed to go first.
