Qiangu Dongfeng looked at his secretary's back as he went to do as he asked. He was actually thinking that Fan Lin would have a way to communicate with the soul beasts but that turned out to be wrong.
They had already captured the soul beasts two months ago and there had been no news of Fan Lin attacking any of the Spirit Pagoda bases. He also wasn't seen in the Boundless sea.
His men were monitoring every part of the Boundless sea that was around the location where the soul beasts lived and where Fan Lin was seen the most times, but there were no news.
It can just mean one single thing, Fan Lin didn't know about the soul beasts. Now Qiangu Dongfeng was more panicked than the soul beasts.
He made the plan especially to kill or trap Fan Lin and then kill him, but if he doesn't come, then what's the point of them planning this for?
He was using the things that Fan Lin once said to him a long time ago to gain the public attention.
Fan Lin once told him to use the other part of the money to grant free spirit soul for the first spirit ring of the kids.
This was one of the reasons why Qiangu Dongfeng was able to get out of the suspicions on him at that time. The public was with him.
Fan Lin had read the first two parts of the Douluo Dalu, although not completely, but he was sure that those were the might is right novels and he had read the Douluo Dalu till Shrek Academy entrance exams and a few chapters more of that.
He thought that the third part was also like the previous ones. Might is right and public opinions ki maa ki aankh.
But he was proved wrong. The third part was totally skewered from the first and second part. So in turn, he shooted himself in the foot on his own.
That's what happened when you think of doing something good while doing bad things.
After that incident, Fan Lin and Qiangu Dongfeng had become enemies and they were not able to sit properly to talk it out.
Qiangu Dongfeng used the strategy that Fan Lin gave him once more and he was able to uphold the majesty of Spirit Pagoda higher than before.
If not for the fact that Wulin had protagonist aura, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect would be a thing of history now.
Due to Fan Lin, Qiangu Dongfeng knew the importance of public image and satisfaction and launched many things that granted him huge public satisfaction.
He was also able to buy 2/3 of the Federation parliament this way too. This was the main reason why Qiangu Dongfeng said that Fan Lin would have been a better leader for the Spirit Pagoda.
He knew and understood both the sides, be it the humans or the soul beasts. He would have been able to calm Di Tian into becoming a spirit soul. Probably.
And now, Qiangu Dongfeng had spent a lot of his fortune to set this trap for Fan Lin. If Fan Lin didn't come then, he was sure that he would not be able to set a trap like this once again.
He wouldn't gain the chance to gather that huge a force, nor would he will be able to kill him in the future. Fan Lin's strength growth was the most terrifying thing about him.
He was able to increase his strength at a horrifying rate. Qiangu Dongfeng didn't have the luxury to gave Fan Lin time to prepare.
He will strike right now!
He had already checked the situation and the envoy will reach the Deep North headquarters in 6-7 days. Fan Lin would then teleport to the Bright City directly and then he would be able to kill him.
Qiangu Dongfeng was scared deep inside. He had seen Fan Lin grow stronger everyday, he had seen the amount of humans that he had killed in the Spirit ascension platform and he had seen those eyes of his.
Those cold emotionless eyes that looked at the humans like nothing.
Nothing at all.
He had seen the footages of him slaughtering the Mechas and Titled Douluos with just a single hit.
He knew of his ruthlessness and he knew that if he is even a single point wrong in his planning then he would die.
Fan Lin would definitely kill him. And painfully at that.
He knew that Fan Lin could do that. He knew that Fan Lin would do that.
Fan Lin was never a saint to begin with. Once enraged, he would do what he wanted to do from the beginning.
Qiangu Dongfeng had seen the deep anger and hate that Fan Lin had against humanity and he knew that Fan Lin was controlling himself to not burst out. Him killing humans in the Spirit ascension platform was a way to cool down for him.
He knew that Fan Lin now would have become stronger than most of the people, he just didn't know how much?
If he did then he would not even dare to think of crossing his bottom line.
Qiangu Dongfeng was looking at the view of the Bright City. He was reminiscing of the time that he spent with Fan Lin and he was reminiscing about his grandson.
His grandson was the most talented person in his generation. His talent was even higher than Qiangu Dongfeng.
Qiangu Dongfeng adored his grandson a lot. He was thinking of making his grandson the new Spirit Pagoda head and he wanted the best for his grandson and he would have it.
The reason why he thought Fan Lin was a threat was also due to his grandson. Fan Lin was a threat to the position of his grandson.
Many higher ups of the Spirit Pagoda had seen and heard of Fan Lin due to his frequent visits at the Earthrock Alliance.
And Fan Lin rejected many of them by saying that he was a part of Tang Sect. Many of the higher ups knew that he was not telling truth, but they didn't want to force Fan Lin.
Qiangu Dongfeng was not one of them. He personally went to meet Fan Lin but got rejected to his face. He could have cancelled all the reservations that Fan Lin had at that time but he chose to see exactly what was it that made him reject Qiangu Dongfeng.
He saw the reports of his fights in the spirit ascension platform and then he sent an envoy to protect him from the shadows.
He knew that Fan Lin was going to come to the Shrek Academy and he thought that he could have him there.
It was at this time that he got the shocking news that the small kid that he was interested was the mass genocider of the Federation. It was at that time. Qiangu Dongfeng's interest became greed.
He wanted to make Fan Lin work for him at all costs. He prepared everything and went to meet him the second time, but he was rejected once again along with a threat that he couldn't ignore. He never cared about the masses but the powerhouses from Shrek and Tang Sect were different matters.
It was at that time that he started to seriously find all the accomplices of Fan Lin.
He was able to find most them a year later. It was a group of upcoming idiots that sold themselves to him after a few promises and benefits .
After that, he was able to get out of the trap that Fan Lin laid due to them. He killed them later to not arouse any suspicions on him. They were fools and he could find hundreds of them easily.
