After the door closed behind him, not a single person in the room spoke.

There were three old men sitting in front of Lin Fan, two that he recognized and one that he didn't.

It was the president and the two vice presidents of the Tamers Guild.

They just sat there in silence looking over Lin Fan for a bit, but Lin Fan didn't mind as he came in and took a seat in front of them.

There was a long silence before the president suddenly asked, "Where did you get that technique?"

Lin Fan looked at him with surprised eyes since he never expected him to be this direct, but that didn't mean that he didn't know how to answer.

After a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, Lin Fan casually said, "It's a secret inheritance that I received." Once he said that, he just sat there calmly looking at the president.

The president didn't say anything else in response to this, but this was to be expected.

After all, it was commonly known that experts should respect each other's secrets since it was related to their trump cards which was considered their bottom lines. Trump cards were used to save oneself when one was in danger, so this wasn't something that could be revealed easily.

After another long moment of silence, the president looked right into Lin Fan's eyes and said seriously, "What are you planning?"

The fact that Lin Fan was willing to show this kind of ability must mean that there was something that he wanted, so the president didn't beat around the bush at all since that wasn't the personality that he had.

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help revealing a look of praise since this was the personality that he liked working with.

He wasn't someone that liked beating around the bush, trying to figure out the other side's intention. It was much easier to be direct and lay all your cards out on the table directly.

After a slight pause, Lin Fan said with a faint smile, "Well, I was hoping that we could cooperate."

The president slightly knitted his brows before he said, "The Hunters Organization?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod.

The president said in a voice that didn't seem to care, "What benefit would that bring us? It's not like you can offer us your special training technique, can you? In that case, it's better for us to remain neutral instead of taking sides. Unless there's something else you can offer us."

He had already heard about Lin Fan from Qiao Yi Fei, so he knew how close Lin Fan was to the Hunters Organization. For Lin Fan to propose this was something that he had already expected, but he couldn't think of what Lin Fan could possibly offer to make it worth his time.

Lin Fan had also expected this, so he said, "If I have this technique, it must mean that I got it from somewhere. Or rather I got it from someone."

The president knitted his brows the moment he heard this.

He had also thought of this possibility, but even if it was true, it wouldn't have affected anything since this was too vague of a promise for them to rely on. Even if there was someone or some organization behind Lin Fan, would they be willing to share the secret technique that easily?

A promise like this was almost worth nothing.

Seeing that the president didn't say anything, Lin Fan then said, "The Thunder Sect's ambitions aren't as small as you'd think."

The president immediately knitted his brows when he heard this. He looked at Lin Fan with a deep look as if he was trying to see through him, but he couldn't see through Lin Fan's stone face at all.

Finally, the president asked, "Then tell me, how big are those ambitions?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "If they didn't have some kind of unusual backing, do you really think that they would dare to make such a big move?"

The president knitted his brows even deeper when he heard this.

Lin Fan could see that he was seriously considering it, so he just waited. However, the knitted brows slowly relaxed on the president's face which was the opposite of what Lin Fan wanted to see.

It was then that he played his final card, "The Assassins Association is also involved."

This time, the president and the two vice presidents both revealed shocked looks since this was information that they didn't know about previously.

If three different factions were banding together, this was not something that they could ignore.

After a long moment of silence, the president finally asked, "What are you proposing then?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile before he started explaining.

…

In a dark alley outside of the Tamers Guild.

There was a single figure that was standing here and the walls all around him were filled with holes.

This figure was on the ground with his fists on the ground while he was panting. It was clear from the surrounding area that he had just gone on a form of rampage, which had caused all this destruction.

There were also traces of blood that stained his fists.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, this person looked up and the face that was revealed was Fei Jun's. However, that face was twisted with rage and something even more terrifying.

As for why he had this kind of expression, his reasoning was that it was all because of Lin Fan.

After the Monster Trainer Exam was over, he had been given a license as an Expert Monster Trainer, but that was all.

As soon as the exam was over, he had been shown the way out. Even Bai Chen who had brought him here had completely ignored him.

It was clear from the attitude of the Tamers Guild that they had completely abandoned him, but that also confused him.

Even if his display during the exam was a bit shameful, that didn't mean that they should completely abandon him since he was still a talent no matter how one looked at it. Even if there were a few minor personality problems, he should have been welcomed into the higher rankings of the Tamers Guild.

The reason why this didn't happen was all because of Lin Fan.

After all, the winner was king and everyone else was worthless.

The talent that Lin Fan had displayed was far above his own, which was why the Tamers Guild was willing to drop Fei Jun like this.

In Fei Jun's heart, Lin Fan was the one that had taken everything from him.

The last straw was when he saw Qiao Yi Fei congratulating Lin Fan on passing the exam with a smile on her face. The way that the two talked, it completely crushed his heart.

He wanted revenge, but he didn't have a way to do so since his family wasn't a part of the twelve great factions. He didn't have the power or influence to deal with even Qiao Yi Fei, not to mention Lin Fan who would surely receive the full attention of the Tamers Guild.

But that was what drove him mad.

He was unwilling!

He was unwilling to accept this!

While Fei Jun was slowly going more and more insane in this alley, there was a figure that entered the alley. This figure walked up behind him and silently observed him for a bit until it finally said, "Do you want your revenge?"

Fei Jun had been completely lost in his anger that he hadn't noticed that someone had come up behind him, so he was surprised when he heard this voice. But after that surprise, he quickly turned around with a vigilant look at this figure.

When he turned around, he found that it was the cloaked figure from the exam, the one that had been lucky enough to get a bye in the final exam.

Fei Jun revealed a look of disdain when he saw this person and he said with a snort, "What can you do for me? Get lost before I cripple you!"

The cloaked figure didn't make a single move when he heard this and he just gave a laugh before saying, "Good spirit, but you should be careful who you talk to like that. You might provoke someone that you shouldn't provoke."

The look of disdain on Fei Jun's face became even heavier and he was about to say something, but his gaze met the eyes of the cloaked figure. The moment his gaze met those red eyes, he was filled with terror and he swallowed all the words he was about to say.

The cloaked figure gave another laugh when he saw this and then he said, "Good, you aren't a fool either. Now, are you willing to come with me?"

Fei Jun couldn't help feeling a shiver run down his spine when he heard this. After a slight pause, he asked, "Who are you?"

The cloaked figure didn't answer this, instead he said, "I'll give you your revenge if you follow me, that's all you need to know."

Fei Jun couldn't help asking, "Are you the devil?"

The cloaked figure gave a laugh before saying, "Maybe I am. Are you willing to make that deal with the devil?" Then after a deliberate pause, he added, "Then again, it's not like you have much choice."

Fei Jun was silent for a while before saying, "You're right, I don't have a choice, but that doesn't mean that I have to take your deal. After all, it's not like you're saying you'll give me anything after I take my revenge. Once my revenge is taken, if you can't guarantee my safety, what meaning would that revenge be?"

The cloaked figure gave a nod in response to this before asking, "Then what do you want?"

Fei Jun said, "What can you offer me?"

The cloaked figure revealed a smile under that hat that hid his face and said, "All that you want and all that you deserve will be yours. Will that be enough for you?"

Fei Jun didn't answer right away, instead he asked, "Is that a promise?"

The cloaked figure said in a stronger voice, "It's a guarantee. I think that should be enough for you, right?"

Fei Jun could tell that the cloaked figure was slowly losing patience, so he didn't push his luck as he said, "Alright, as long as you can guarantee it, I wouldn't mind making a deal with the devil."

The cloaked figure gave a nod before saying, "Good, I like working with smart people."

Then without even waiting for a response from Fei Jun, he turned around and started walking as he said, "Follow me."

This time, Fei Jun didn't hesitate at all as he followed that cloaked figure out of the alley.
