Lin Fan looked at the two corpses in front of him and he gave a cold snort before turning to the owner of the bar to say, "What do you want to do with these?"
The owner of the bar deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.
After a while, he said, "I'll have my subordinates take care of them." Then after a pause, he added, "But the fact that they are now sending these people to watch over us is a troubling sign…"
Lin Fan shook his head before saying, "It's not to watch over "us", it's to watch over me."
The owner of the bar revealed a slightly surprised look as he asked, "What do you mean by that? Why would they…"
But then he suddenly revealed a look of understanding before looking at Lin Fan with a complicated look as he said, "It seems like we've become a burden to you."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It would have happened eventually, but now I've gotten the help of your Flying Feather Organization in return, it's worth it." Then his eyes narrowed as he looked at the owner of the bar, "Of course, that is on the basis that you keep your promise."
The owner of the bar waved his hand and said, "Are you doubting my sincerity now? I have no other place to turn other than you, so what else can I do?"
The owner of the bar revealed a serious look and said, "All of the power of my Flying Feather Organization will be at your disposal as long as you're willing to help us take care of that president."
Lin Fan nodded before reaching out a hand, "It's a pleasure to be working with you then."
The owner of the bar took his hand with a smile and shook it as he nodded in agreement.
After this had been settled, there was nothing else for Lin Fan to do since the owner of the bar and Xiao Huo were heading back to the bar. Xiao Huo's group would be staying with the owner of the bar just in case the Mercenary Guild tried anything, so Lin Fan wouldn't need to worry about them.
So he headed off to his residence since it had been a long day.
When he arrived, he was surprised to find that it wasn't just the two girls, but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOuyang Qian was also there waiting for him.
All three of them were just as surprised to see that he was back as he was to see them here.
Lin Fan couldn't help asking Ouyang Qian, "What are you doing here?"
Ouyang Qian looked at the two girls and turned back to look at Lin Fan as she pointed at the wine and dishes that she had brought. Then she explained, "I thought that these two would be lonely with you gone, so I came to spend the night with them."
Lin Fan revealed an understanding look when he heard this.
These were the subordinates that Yue Lan had trained up and he had heard her mention before that they acted like sisters, so he could understand how they cared for one another.
So after that, he said, "Alright, I'll just head to my room then and I'll leave you to it."
But before he could take a single step, all three of the girls came forward to grab him and said, "Wait, come and join us."
Lin Fan hesitated for a bit, but he chose to join them in the end.
He really wasn't in the mood to drink after what had happened today, but there were some things that he wanted to get off his chest that he could only do by drinking. However, the people at the bar were all strangers that he barely knew, so it wasn't as if he could let himself loosen up in that place.
It was different here since all three of the girls here were the subordinates of his subordinates, they were all his people. He could open himself up to them without worry since they weren't strangers.
So after sitting down, Lin Fan drank a whole cup of wine in one go.
All three girls were surprised to see him acting this way.
It was Ouyang Qian who had the most tact out of all three of them that understood that something was wrong. However, she was also someone that understood people and knew that before he got drunk, he wouldn't want to talk about it.
So she helped him pour another cup which he immediately downed.
After around four cups, Lin Fan finally slowed down as his eyes glazed a bit and he slouched back in his chair.
Ouyang Qian knew that he was slowly getting drunk and lowering the wall around his heart, so she asked, "Young master, is something wrong?"
Lin Fan looked into the cup of wine that he was holding in his hand for a while before saying, "I met something that is unforgivable today, but I didn't know how to handle it and now I'm filled with regret."
He took a sip of the wine before continuing, "I don't know if I did the right thing or not, I don't know if I gave up on the people that I could have saved, I don't know if I should be the one who can decide everything for them, but that was what I did in the end…"
Lin Fan looked down in the cup of wine as if he could see the scene from the cave again.
After giving a sigh, he added, "I do feel anger and disgust, but this anger and disgust isn't just towards this matter, but also towards myself. It felt like I could have saved everyone, but I chose to give up because that was what was easier for me…"
He gave another sigh and then put his head down on the table.
Ouyang Qian had been silently listening from the side, but seeing him put his head down, she came forward to pat him on the back as she said, "But that isn't your fault, you know."
Lin Fan looked up at her with a strange look that was filled with complicated emotions as he said, "How do you know that?"
Ouyang Qian gave a sigh before saying, "There are many different people in this world and each of them have different fates. The only thing that any of us can do is what we think is best because we can't predict what else can happen in this world. All we can do is believe in what we think is right because that is what defines us as people."
Lin Fan's eyes cleared a bit as he looked at her before he asked, "But what if I don't think that I did was right?"
Ouyang Qian shook her head and said, "As long as you did it, you have to believe that it is right. That is the only thing that any of us can do."
Lin Fan was silent for a few minutes before suddenly collapsing onto the table.
The moment that he had vented everything that he wanted to vent, it was like the tense string that was in his heart was suddenly cut.
Even if he didn't show it, it was quite the stressful situation for him and it had been hard for him to keep his cool, so all that tension and exhaustion had built up inside of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as that tense string in his heart was cut, he suddenly collapsed as all that exhaustion suddenly filled him.
Seeing this, Ouyang Qian wasn't surprised at all since she had already expected this.
So all she did was lean in from beside him and placed a kiss on his cheek before saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
The two other girls had been in a daze watching this, but seeing Ouyang Qian placing a kiss on Lin Fan's cheek, Lu'er and Lan'er couldn't just keep sitting there anymore.
Lu'er came forward and grabbed Ouyang Qian by the arm as she said, "Big sister, you can't jump ahead of us like this! It's not fair!"
Lan'er also came forward and grabbed the other arm before saying, "You're not playing fair like this!"
Then working together, the two of them pulled Ouyang Qian away from Lin Fan.
However, Ouyang Qian just said with a smile, "First come first serve, that's always been the rule between us."
Lu'er and Lan'er had bitter looks on their faces as they glared at Ouyang Qian.
But after they squabbled with each for a bit, all of them turned to look at Lin Fan with concerned looks on their faces.
After a long period of silence, Ouyang Qian said, "The young master is working hard for all of us, so the only thing that we can do is silently support him. In times like this, all we need to do is be there for him when he needs to vent."
Lu'er and Lan'er looked at each other before nodding in agreement.
After another period of silence, Lu'er still said, "That still doesn't give you the right to cut in front of us, big sister! We all agreed that we would wait until the young master was ready!"
Ouyang Qian just tapped Lu'er on the head before saying, "Help me bring the young master up to his room. He needs his rest and he won't get it lying here."
Lu'er and Lan'er nodded before going to opposite sides of Lin Fan to help him up before carrying to his bed.
Once they were done, they were about to sneak into bed with him, but Ouyang Qian grabbed the two of them and dragged them out.
Lin Fan was deep asleep during all of this and he hadn't heard a single thing they said, but his lips couldn't help curling in his sleep.
