Lin Fan squeezed his hands together and tested his strength as he walked outside of the Fan Sect. He'd at least reached the Apotheosis stage, but felt much stronger and faster and powerful than what he was expecting as he sent out a burning right hook into the icy air.
There was someone a few feet from him, wearing a pinstripe suit with a black hat with a few bodyguards around him. He seemed to be staring at Lin Fan as Lin Fan returned his strange presence with a glower, it was odd, and he walked over to him as Mimi Fan hugged tight to his arm.
Mimi Fan seemed more afraid than normal which was strange considering that she was in the Forbidden Realm and getting stronger every day, almost every moment, from the gifts that the Undying Night Organization had given her as well as the Infinity Super Clan. They had given her cultivation manuals, rare spirit boosting pills, dozens of weapons and materials, and a large set of spatial treasures that could help her with insights.
She had gained quite a bit of knowledge about the metal law as well because of Ag Kan's parting gift to Lin Fan was to help out Mimi Fan. Dark Light Palace really expected a lot from Lin Fan after he crushed Boris Long, and mentioned the Blight, however, they were forgetting that Lin Fan only did things if they benefited him and the Fan Sect.
"Excuse me... How did you get in the Fan Sect?" Lin Fan asked cautiously as the man smiled and waved his body guards away... "Did.... did you happen to come here for one of my new pills, or for a piece of armor?"
"I'm here to talk about the first battle of the war..." The man stood up and walked over to the large shield Lin Fan had built... "You seem to have barely broken into the Apotheosis stage, but that should be enough to start making the audience happy, right?"
"You... you are from the Battle Arena Network?" Lin Fan could extrapolate that much from the guys manner, seeing his pompous stare, but decided to ask politely rather than assume... "How... how much are you willing to give me in exchange for airing the battle?"
"You... you need supplies for the war, and we'll help you get rare materials for the new pills you're making..." The man smiled and took out a spatial ring that he tossed into Lin Fan's hand. "There is ten thousand year [Tame Frozen Fruit] in there and [One hundred thousand year Red Diamond Grass] with a few dozen other rare supplies.
"The sky is the limit if you choose to let us profit off your war... However, you've been waiting six months and the time after the Forbidden Tournament is passing... The longer you wait, the more the viewers are going to forgot about the small, dominating Lin Fan and replace him with another second world loser..."
"Are you saying that you want me to start a war just for views as soon as possible... We will need at least a few months to plan the first attacks..."
"Do it in two days and you can expect supplies to rain down from Horizon... Do it in two months, and you can expect nothing but your death... Do you get what I'm saying?" The man smiled and floated into the air before a small planet seemed to appear in front of him. He climbed into that small planet and waved as his body guards turned into little beams of light that went into his spatial ring... "Remember, don't take too long, or this little sect of yours will lose its value..."
Lin Fan waved and immediately made a resolve to kill that bastard when he got to the God Rank. He also recognized who that was after spending a few months keeping in contact with Blare Ron and Ha Kong. He was Wen Wen... Senior Director of the Battle Arena Network and also one of the top 100 strongest gods in Sacred Light City.
The fact that there were a hundred gods in Sacred Light City was mind boggling for Lin Fan, but that suggested much more than a hundred gods. He sighed and looked down at the ring in his hand as Mimi Fan came over and hugged his leg...
"He... he kept staring at me... He wants to find somewhere for me to go to school, but I don't want to leave you Chicken Man!"
"You're my little wing... If anyone tries to take you they'll be experience a pain worse then death for thousands of years..."
Mimi Fan smiled and hugged Lin Fan as Ind Quin walked over and took a knee. He'd only supposed to been Lin Fan's apprentice for three months, but had decided to become a full time member of his shop.
"Lin Fan... The Sacred Ring of Assassins once again extended the deadline for saving Little Quin... However, if we can't give them the Ascent Treasures they want soon, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry... I don't like kids dying when I can stop it... I take it they liked the eighth grade black fire armor?"
"They ordered a hundred more, and I'll start working on them soon... However, are you going to expand this territory soon? My father says it's always good to have ten places to hide and to have a thousand allies behind your back..."
"We seem to only have one race as allies, and as an Empyrean I know we won't be allowed to help you fight..."
"Your father..." Lin Fan said as he picked up Mimi Fan and put her on his back... "Your father will owe me an arm and a leg when I get Little Quin back and I expect a favor when I go up to Sacred Light City..."
"Obviously, he already started building you the buildings you requested in his district... However, are you really going to start a war because of that Wen Wen? He's clearly just using you to make money..."
"I plan on using him in the future too, it's how it works, and sometimes you have to take a punch in the gut so you can knock out your opponent with a right hook to the face..."
"I'll start the war in a month... He should accept that... After I finish building all that I need to build to ensure a quick victory... I'll sweep out and destroy the four races... Even if it takes sixth months of bloodshed, it will happen..."
"Anyways, time to go have some fun getting points! See you back in the shop after I break a few backs!"
