Chapter 150: The Lin Family!
Accompanying Zhou Yao back to school, as for Wei Feng, he naturally had to stay behind. After sending Zhou Yao back to her dorm, two men in black walked over. "Are you Lin Tian?" one of the men in black asked, his tone devoid of any emotion. Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brow and nodded, "That's right, I'm Lin Tian. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Please come with us, after investigation, our young master Lin Wei was killed by your hands!" Another man in black said. On that day, Lin Tian killed Wang Hao, Lin Wei, Yamamoto Taiyo and those Japanese samurai, but he didn't destroy the bodies or cover up the evidence. He just called Long Haohai to help deal with it. With the power of the Lin family, it's not difficult to find out that Lin Wei was killed by Lin Tian. It's probably because Lin Tian went to the Zhou family to attend their family gathering that they came looking for him now!
Lin Tianwei hesitated for a moment: "Alright, I'll go with you. To be honest, if you didn't come looking for me, I would have gone to the Lin residence myself!" The two black-clad men looked at each other in surprise, killing someone and still daring to knock on their door, this guts was truly not small! "Hmph, that's good, saves us from having to use force!"
"Are you kidding me?" Lin Tian couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The two black-clad men's cultivation was quite good, both having achieved the Earth Level Initial Stage, but compared to him, they were far inferior. A Heaven Level Great Perfection expert like himself could easily defeat hundreds of Earth Level Initial Stage cultivators with ease!
Three people left the campus, a black sedan stopped at the school gate. "Please!" Two men in black let Lin Tian get in first, then one of them sat beside Lin Tian and stared at him tightly, while the other man drove the car away!
"Yao'er, I have something to do and will be out for two days, don't worry!" Lin Tian thought for a moment, took out his phone and sent a text message to Zhou Yao. "Don't be so tense, I didn't plan on running away. By the way, where are we headed? The Lin family's headquarters is in Sichuan, right? Are we going straight to Sichuan?" Lin Tian lay back on the soft headrest, relaxing his body and smiling as he asked. The black-clad man sitting next to him ignored Lin Tian and spoke into his earpiece: "The mission is proceeding smoothly, the target is being taken to the family headquarters, no violence has been used, the target is cooperating voluntarily!"
Lin Tian already knew what he wanted to know from this conversation, so he stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
An hour later, Lin Tian and his group had already boarded the plane to Chengdu, Sichuan. "I used to not even know what a plane looked like, now I'm flying back and forth every other day!" In first class, Lin Tian was checking out the pretty flight attendants while muttering to himself in boredom.
Three hours later, the plane landed and Lin Tian and the two men in black exited the airport. Outside, a car was already waiting for them. The driver was a fat man who looked at Lin Tian with an expression as if he were looking at a dead person. "Kid, enjoy your last few hours of life well, Young Master Lin is the son of the clan leader, you killed him, and you still have the guts to do it!" The fat man sneered. Lin Tian looked out the car window and said calmly: "Even if I didn't resist, giving your clan leader a thousand guts wouldn't dare kill me!"
His identity is a special consultant of the Dragon Group, although Lin's family may not know very well, but they must know that he has connections with the Dragon Group. Before figuring out what Lin Tian's identity is, Lin's family would at most let him suffer some physical pain, as for killing him, it won't happen. If Lin Tian has a particularly high status within the Dragon Group, killing him would be unbearable for Lin's family to withstand the wrath of the Dragon Group!
The Lin family was also a ancient martial arts family, but now the family has declined a lot. The most powerful master in the family is only at the mid-level of the Heavenly Rank, which is far inferior to the Zhou family. Compared with the Dragon Group led by Long Lingtian, who possesses spatial-type heterodox abilities, it's even more worlds apart!
The Lin family's headquarters is far from Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan. After driving for three or four hours, it was almost dusk when they finally arrived at a small village where the Lin family's headquarters is located. The majority of the villagers are members of the Lin family, and the rest are loyal subordinates of the Lin family.
The village looks ordinary, but as a top-notch master of the Heavenly Round, Lin Tian's perception can cover an area of 500 meters, and it's easy to see that this place is extraordinary. The first extraordinary thing is that most people here have martial arts skills, although most are at the human level, there are about thirty who have reached the earth level, and five who are above the heavenly level; the second extraordinary thing is that this village has an underground cave, which should be a relatively large underground base.
Lin Tian's arrival attracted some attention, and everyone's eyes turned to this side. "Lin Tian, the master of the house is waiting for you, let's go!" The fat man came over and pushed Lin Tian with a shout, but he didn't push Lin Tian forward, instead, a counter-shock force from Lin Tian's body shocked him back two steps! "Good guy, indeed has some skills!" Although his mouth was cursing, the fat man did not dare to push Lin Tian again.
"Fat uncle, is he Lin Tian? Did he kill Lin Wei?" Some men and women curiously gathered around to ask. The timid one nodded: "That's right, it's him, okay, let's make way, I'm going to take him to see the clan leader!" "I don't think he looks very strong, can he beat Lin Wei?" A young man looked at Lin Tian with disdain. Lin Tian glanced at that person and smiled faintly, after all, his cultivation was only in the later stage of the human level, which was considered a high hand among ordinary people, but it was just the lowest level of the three levels of martial artists: heaven, earth, and man!
"Hey kid, what's with that look in your eyes?" Lin Tian's smile had become a mockery in the young man's eyes, provoking him to great anger. "Whatever you think it is, then that's what it is!" Lin Tian said calmly, this time he came to the Lin family, his mood wasn't very good, if the other party didn't know better and let him vent a bit, Lin Tian would be more than happy to do so!
"You—" The young man's fists were clenched. "Alright, alright, Lin Ke, you'd better behave yourself. The clan leader wants to see him, and if you delay any further, the clan leader will blame me, don't say I didn't plead for you!" The fat man said coldly. "Hmph, sparing you this once because of Uncle Fat's face!" Thinking about Clan Leader Lin Zhen's furious expression, the young man trembled all over. Normally it was already terrifying enough, and now that Lin Zhen had lost his son, going to provoke him again... the consequences would probably not be just being locked up for ten days or half a month...
As they arrived in front of a magnificent villa with golden walls, the two bodyguards stepped forward to search Lin Tian's body. Lin Tian let out a cold snort: "The head of the Lin family is indeed very cautious, don't worry, I'm not carrying any guns or explosives!" This mocking voice was transmitted into the villa, and immediately a gloomy voice responded from inside: "Let him in!"
"Listen, kid. Be honest when you see the clan leader, or Fat Brother will let you know what it means to be worse off than dead!" The fat guy said in a low voice. Lin Tian entered the villa alone, while the fat guy stayed outside.
Inside the hall, apart from Lin family's patriarch Lin Zhen, there were four elderly men. They were Lin family's First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder and Fourth Elder. The four elderly men all had cultivation at the Heavenly level early stage, while Lin Zhen only had Earthly level late stage cultivation. As soon as Lin Tian entered the hall, his gaze was fixed firmly on Lin Zhen!
They eyed each other, a moment of silence between them! "Lin Tian, a life for a life, a debt to be repaid, I'm sure you're aware!" Lin Chen said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with intensity! Lin Tian's expressionless face replied: "That's right, I'm aware, so I killed Lin Wei. However, the two billion US dollars he owed me from our bet have yet to be repaid. As the head of the Lin family is well-informed, you should know about this matter. I wonder if the head of the Lin family wants to repay this debt for his son?"
"You scoundrel, Lin Wei and you have no blood feud, yet you killed him and still dare to argue with me here!" Lin Chen slapped the red wood tea table in front of him heavily! A gleam of hatred appeared in Lin Tian's eyes: "When I was nine years old, my parents left this world. I think the head of the Lin family must be very clear about how my parents died?!"
Lin Chen's face changed: "You, you know your parents' identity?" Lin Chen regretted in his heart, cutting grass without removing the roots, and indeed it was endless trouble. At that time, he thought Lin Tian was just a nine-year-old kid, what could he see? When he grew up, all the clues were broken, even if he knew some clues, but as an ordinary person, how could he pose any threat? So after Lin Chen ordered the elimination of Lin Tian's parents, he didn't kill Lin Tian. Watching Lin Tian grow up in pain, he also had a kind of perverted pleasure in his heart!
"Hmph, as expected, my parents didn't die in an accident, but were killed by your poisonous hands, Lin Tian! You're really something, killing your own brother!" Lin Tian said with a cold smile. "Your father disregarded the family's opposition and insisted on being with your mother, he wasn't suitable to be the head of the Lin family," Lin Zhen said in a deep voice. "Unfortunately, my father gave the position of tribe leader to my brother before his death, but that position can't be given to him. What I did was for the good of the Lin family!"
Lin Tian's face showed a hint of disdain: "If you want to covet power, then just covet it, what's the big deal? Why say it's for the family's good? I know my father's personality, he doesn't care about power or not, as long as you ask him, he might even hand over the family heirloom to you. But what did you do? You used underhanded means to persecute him, forcing my father to leave Lin Family and live in a small village. If it had ended there, that would have been fine, he could have lived his quiet life, and you could have been the Lin Family head. But no, you still found him and killed my parents! Lin Family Head, I really want to dig out your heart and see if it's still made of flesh, can you even do such a vicious thing to your own brother?"
Lin Chen's face changed constantly: "I didn't expect that my brother would have a son as bold as you, Lin Tian. Originally, I only wanted to imprison you for life, but now, I've changed my mind. You're so calm that it's making me a little afraid!"
"Four elders, Lin Tian is doomed, what do you think?" Lin Chen said to the four old men.
"Oppose, Clan Leader! Lin Wei is dead and none of the younger generation in the family are qualified to be the next heir. However, Lin Tian does meet the requirements. Therefore, I request that Lin Tian return to the clan and become the next Master of the Lin Family. Clan Leader, please put the interests of the family first!" The Great Elder said loudly.
Lin Zhen's face turned gloomy as he said: "Great Elder, Lin Tian has no good feelings towards the Lin Family and will only bring disaster upon us!"
Lin Tian said at this time: "No matter what, I will not join this cold-blooded family. I think my parents would not want me to do so either, let alone make me the master of the Lin family!" As soon as Lin Tian's words came out, Lin Zhen laughed, but the four elders slightly furrowed their brows!
"Lin Tian, no matter what you say, the blood flowing through your veins is also that of the Lin family. You have a duty to fulfill for the Lin family! What's wrong with being the master of the Lin family? Power, wealth, beautiful women - whatever you want, you can have it!" The elder said in a deep voice.
"Duty? Haha" Lin Tian laughed loudly, "Elder, you're joking. I've been wandering since I was nine years old, and my family hasn't given me any benefits at all. All they've given me is endless pain. A family like that wants me to fulfill my duty? I spit on it! As for power, wealth, and beautiful women, with my abilities, what can't I possess?!
In terms of power, I'm now a special advisor to the Dragon Group - isn't my power greater than that useless clan leader's? In terms of wealth, although I don't have an endless supply, the wealth in my hands is absolutely worth more than the entire Lin family. And as for beautiful women, how many can be found who are more beautiful than Yao'er?"
"Dragon Group's special advisor?" Lin Chen and the four elders all changed their faces, "Lin Tian, do you think we are three-year-old children? What kind of place is Dragon Group that would have a special advisor as young as you? If you're going to lie, at least make it sound plausible!" Lin Chen said, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Lin Tian took out the special advisor's certificate from the Star Ring space and threw it onto the tea table, sneering: "I believe that with the Lin family head's discerning eye, you should be able to tell whether this is genuine or fake!" Lin Zhen looked at the cover and had a bad feeling in his heart. He had seen such a cover many times before, and it was exactly the same as Lin Tian's!
He picked up the document and opened it, and when he saw Lin Tian's photo inside, as well as the words "Special Consultant of the Chinese Dragon Group", Lin Chen's hands were already shaking slightly. This document was real, Lin Chen had already confirmed it in his heart! He just couldn't understand why a person who was originally ordinary had changed so much in such a short period of time?! Not to mention that he had reached the level of reporting to subordinates at the prefecture level, but he had also become a special consultant for the Dragon Group!
The four elders also took turns looking at the certificate, and after exchanging a glance, they all nodded in agreement that this was indeed the real Dragon Group member's certificate. "Lin Clan Head, now you know why I wanted to kill Lin Wei, right? The son pays for the father's debts, I'm sure you've heard of it! Moreover, he even dared to kidnap Yao'er with someone else! His crime deserves punishment!"
