Lin Fan didn't head out immediately after accepting this mission since that would be foolish.
He had only just heard about this situation and he had no information at all.
Even if he were to ask Ouyang Qian about this, she also wouldn't have any information for him since she had also just learned about this.
Without enough time to gather information, it would really seem like he was charging right into danger. But it was a good thing that he had become acquainted with the Flying Feather Organization, the biggest information organization in all of Brilliant Light City.
When Lin Fan arrived at the bar, the owner of the bar was surprised to see him. However, he didn't keep him outside and brought him down into the secret room in the basement.
After sitting down, the owner of the bar asked in a surprised voice, "What are you doing back here again?"
'Again', that was the key word.
That was because Lin Fan had already come here earlier this morning to ask if he had any information for him, so he was surprised to see Lin Fan coming back so soon. Perhaps he wouldn't be surprised if Lin Fan was here for a drink, but he knew that with Lin Fan's personality, it wouldn't be for that.
Not to mention that it was clear by the look on Lin Fan's face that something was bothering him and he clearly wasn't here for a drink.
Lin Fan was silent for a minute before saying, "What do you know about Clear Water Village?"
"Clear Water Village?" The owner of the bar revealed a confused look before stroking his chin to think about it.
After thinking for a bit, he said, "Well, as far as I know, it's a village that's close to Brilliant Light City. The reason why it's called Clear Water is because of the stream that runs right by it that flows down from Clear Water Mountain, but there really isn't anything else special about it. What about this village?"
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "There's reports that there's another strange creature around there."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe owner of the bar immediately knitted his brows and revealed a serious look, but he didn't say anything. After a few seconds of expressions changing on his face, he looked like he had suddenly thought of something and ran to a table on the side of the room.
This table was covered in many pieces of paper, but he just flipped through all of them until he found a single piece of paper.
As he held this piece of paper up to look it over, he muttered to himself, "It's no wonder it sounded so familiar. I just received a report about it this morning, but I didn't think too much about it."
Lin Fan immediately stood up and walked over to look at the report as well.
But when he read the contents, he couldn't help knitting his brows…
That was because the contents of the report were just too simple for one of the largest information organizations in Brilliant Light City.
Instead of reporting it as a strange creature that appeared, it was just reported as if it was some kind of strange beast that had wandered into the area. There was no mention of the Mercenary Guild interfering at all.
The owner of the bar also noticed this as he muttered, "There's no way that this kind of report should have made it past the check…I didn't notice it since there were more important reports to go through, but…"
Before he could finish his thoughts, Lin Fan asked, "Was it interference from the Mercenary Guild?"
The owner of the bar jolted when he heard this, but he didn't refute it. He just fell into deep thought before saying, "I never thought that the grasp of the Mercenary Guild reached this far and I never thought that there would be traitors in my organization…"
Lin Fan didn't say anything about this since he knew that there was nothing for him to say.
Instead, he just asked, "Can you get me information on Clear Water Village then?"
The owner of the bar gave a nod, but then he also shook his head as well as he said, "I can get you information on the surrounding areas since that's information that we've gathered before, but I can't give you any new information on the Mercenary Guild blockade that's currently around the village."
Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's fine, that's all I came here for."
After all, if the owner of the bar knew about this blockade in the first place, it would have been him telling Lin Fan about it instead of Ouyang Qian.
This was also part of the second reason why Lin Fan had come to see the owner of the bar. He had been suspicious about this and it seemed like his suspicions had been right.
The owner of the bar put down the paper in his hand and went back to the table in the center. He reached under the table and there was the sound of something being clicked that rang out through the room.
Not long after this sound rang out, there was a door that suddenly appeared on one of the walls and someone completely covered in black came out.
This person covered in black took a look at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan couldn't see any surprise from their eyes at all. It was as if they were already used to seeing people like him in this room.
But when he thought about it, he felt that this was normal.
After all, this was a secret room used by the leader of the Flying Feather Organization. It was clear that this room was used to sell and buy information, so there were people like him that had been here before.
Since he was here, the black figure just assumed that he was here to buy information since he had been asked to bring a folder full of information.
After taking the folder from the black figure, the owner of the bar just waved his hand and the black figure disappeared out the same door.
The owner of the bar came over and handed Lin Fan the folder before saying, "If you're going, take care of yourself. The fact that the Mercenary Guild is willing to make a move at this time, it's clear that this is an important matter for them. The people that they send to watch over this won't be weak…"
Lin Fan naturally knew this as well, but he still had to go since these were his subordinates that were in danger.
So Lin Fan said, "I'll be careful. Just keep watching over the Mercenary Guild and make sure to clip the thorns in your side."
The owner of the bar revealed a cold look when he heard this and he said, "When I find out who they are, they won't ever appear again."
Lin Fan nodded before walking out of the secret room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce Lin Fan was gone, the owner of the bar sat back down at the table and pressed a few more buttons under the table.
It didn't take long before a few more black clothed people came out of the side of the room and fell to one knee in front of the owner of the bar. The leader of this group bowed his head and said, "Boss, what are your orders?"
The owner of the bar's eyes swept over them before throwing the piece of paper he had been reading before and saying in a cold voice, "Go and finish off the traitors. Make it as painful as possible."
The leader of the black clothed people looked over the piece of paper before also narrowing his eyes. He let the rest of them take a look before all of them left through the door that they came in.
After a few more minutes, the black clothed figure that had come out when Lin Fan had been here came back into the room. When he saw that it was only the owner of the bar that was in the room, he couldn't help asking, "Boss, where did that person go?"
The owner of the bar was surprised to see this person again and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Why are you back?"
The black clothed figure awkwardly scratched his head before saying, "I forgot to bring one piece of information related to Clear Water Village with me, so I brought it now."
The owner of the bar knitted his brows when he heard this and he reached out his hand for the piece of paper that the black clothed person was holding. After taking it and reading it over, he threw it back at him and said, "There's no need to worry about this, this information isn't important to him."
The black clothed person knitted his brows when he heard this, but since the boss had already spoken, there was nothing else he could say.
After giving a bow, he also left the room, leaving the owner of the bar alone.
"Clear Water God…" The owner of the bar muttered to himself, "What a bunch of nonsense."
…
After Lin Fan left the bar, the first thing that he did was pack up on supplies since he didn't know how long he would be gone from the city.
With his Spatial Ring and his Pet Storage Space, he was able to easily store enough supplies to last him for several months.
He didn't really need this much, but for some reason, he felt that it was better to be safe.
After he was done, he headed out of the city without any delay.
