Fan Huan waited for 30 minutes before the rich man returned without his daughter and with a wagon full of the gold taels and the documents for the properties he's going to give him.
The people got out of the way as the wagon was pulled by the two black horses towards Fan Huan slowly.
The rich man was riding the horse and when they neared towards Fan Huan, he jumped off the horse and ran straight at Fan Huan, he was gasping for air when he reaches Fan Huan, clearly, he was exhausted.
*gasp* *gasp* "Lord Fan, I have your taels and most of your properties. Will you let us go now?" He asked while gasping for air.
Fan Huan claps his hands together and said, "Of course. Now, go along. I'll enjoy myself some of these riches."
"Yes, Lord Fan, " He said through gritted teeth before turning around to go and walk towards his house. He knew that he will get an earful from both his daughter and wife later.
But as he walks away, a woman with similar black eyes and white hair walks behind Fan Huan, strangely, they have some resemblance to each other.
The woman had long white hair going through her waist beautifully, beautiful coal-black eyes, luscious lips, and a voluptuous body. She is wearing a beautiful white dress that only reaches down to her knees and on the back of it was the crest of the Fan Family, a knife covered in blood. She is tall for a woman, around 5'8 and her age seems to be around 18 years old.
Every man on the street stared at her with their mouths drooling.
The Eldest Daughter of the Patriarch has arrived.
Fan Huan and the rich man wondered why it was so quiet. They turned behind them and saw the beautiful lady. Fan Huan had a grave look on his face when he saw her, because this was his eldest sister, Fan Biyu. Her cultivation around this time is in Foundation Establishment Realm 2, and she is an Elder in the clan and she is the most troublesome for Fan Huan right now.
Because she is a part of the judgement law enforcers. They basically catch criminals in the clan or in the town. If she were to catch him and send him to the personal prison of the clan, he is basically fucked when that happens.
Fan Biyu looks at Fan Huan sternly and said, ", Fan Huan! I got a report that you were extorting money from the Wang Family. Is that true?"
The rich man seems to have hope when he saw her, he is saved!
He quickly ran towards Fan Biyu before pointing at Fan Huan and said, "Yes, yes, that's true! He threatened to kill me and my family if I don't give him 75% of my wealth! Please bring justice to this scum!"
Fan Huan now knew he is cornered from both sides. If he were to tell her the truth, he would be imprisoned and probably never see the light again. Or, he can lie.
So, he chose what most sane person would do...
Fan Huan puts both of his hands in front and said with a pitiful face, "N-no! I did not do that! L-look! You can see that I don't have a cultivation, right? I couldn't have possibly done that, I only have 1 talent point, r-remember?"
...to just lie.
Fan Biyu thought about what he just said and looked at Fan Huan's cultivation, only to see not a single drop of Qi. He was telling the truth, he indeed doesn't have a cultivation.
"It seems you're telling the truth, hmm, then who did it? I can see a wagon full of gold taels inside it, " she asked with suspicion directed at Fan Huan.
Fan Huan quickly made a plan and he looks at the rich man's eyes before saying, "Hey, I know you know that I didn't do it! Tell her the truth!"
The rich man seems annoyed at him lying and he looks at the eyes of Fan Huan before saying angrily, "What do you mea-" only for him to stop as Fan Huan made a quick hypnosis spell that he learned back when he was the most powerful Devil Cultuvator through his eyes that nobody can see except him.
The rich man lost his pupils and stops for a second before he functioned fully again and said, "Yes, he is right. This young man right here didn't do it, I lied. I was threatened by the Tiger Gang for my daughter in exchange to give my money to them and frame someone else was doing it, so they could avoid the judgment law enforcers."
The Tiger Gang, a notorious band of thieves that still roams around this town. They steal, rape, kill, and sometimes, raids a village nearby. The judgment law enforcers have been trying to catch to them, only to fail.
