Laying the bait

"You're saying the envoy is here?" The Duanmu Family Head said in a shocked voice.

It had been several days since the banquet at the palace and during this time, nothing had happened.

The Duanmu Family Head thought that this was just the time that Lin Fan was giving their Duanmu Family to prepare while he was also getting his plan ready.

So he was caught off guard to find that Lin Fan was actually visiting them.

There was a part of him that was worried about Lin Fan being seen visiting their Duanmu Family, but then there was something else that he suddenly became worried about.

He realized that while he promised a third of the Duanmu Family's wealth, he actually hadn't sent that wealth over.

During this time, he had been so focused on getting the Duanmu Family ready that he had actually forgotten about this. But the main reason that Lin Fan was even willing to support their Duanmu Family was because he had promised to give this wealth.
