The bandit checkpoint wasn't that far from the city, so it only took an hour of traveling for Lin Fan to arrive.

He would have arrived sooner, but he had deliberately gone slower just so he could avoid the other carriage. He wanted to let them enter the city first before he entered the city, so he waited for them to finish their check with the city guards.

But he was surprised to find that he had made a mistake when he arrived at the gates.

It was that there was no check at all.

However, that made sense for a city that did business like this.

This was a place that was filled with all kinds of questionable activity, so they wouldn't check too strictly in the first place since it was something that everyone turned a blind eye to.historical

Still, it was surprising that there was no check at all.

Everyone that entered the city was just waved in by the guards at the gate and they were allowed to go wherever they wanted to go.

There were even signs on the gate that said that everyone was responsible for their own safety. If anything happened to them, it would be their own fault and the city wouldn't be obligated to help or protect them.

That was just what kind of place this was.

It didn't take long for Lin Fan to be allowed to pass through the gates.

When he stepped into the city, he couldn't help looking around himself with a surprised look.

That was because this place looked much cleaner than he thought it would be.

There weren't shifty people hanging around or dirt all over the ground, it looked no different from any other city that he had been in before.

But when Lin Fan looked closely, he was able to see in the corners of the streets that there were some people waiting. As they waited, they watched over all of the people who entered the gate.

With the look in their eyes, it was as if they were looking for prey.

However, that wasn't strange since this was just what kind of place this was.

Lin Fan could also feel a few glances in his direction.

These didn't last long as it was clear whoever these belonged to lost interest in him.

That was..except for one pair of eyes.

It was unknown if he was the one that had chased off the others or if he had better eyes than others to lock onto Lin Fan, but it was clear that Lin Fan had been made a target.

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he felt this gaze on him.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan took his carriage deeper into the city and went to a restaurant by the side of the road. He didn't care as he casually ordered a few dishes and then just sat there with a bag of money on the table.

It was clear to anyone that saw him that he was trying to bait someone into stealing from him, so most people ignored him.

That was, except for the pair of eyes that had been on him the entire time.

However, that person didn't strike while Lin Fan was in the restaurant since there were too many people there.

After he finished his meal, Lin Fan headed off to find an inn to sleep in.

As he headed through the crowded street, he could feel the person that was watching him getting closer.

Lin Fan deliberately chose this crowded street since he knew that there was a higher chance of his getting stolen from in this crowd. He had even noticed quite a few pickpockets making their way through the crowd while walking through the crowd.

Not a single one of them targeted him though.

When the pair of eyes that had been on him came right up to him, Lin Fan didn't do a thing as he let the wandering hand reach into his pocket and take his wallet away.

Once the wallet was taken, that person quickly left the area and headed towards an alley.

Lin Fan didn't follow right away since he had a way of tracking this person, so he casually made his way to the inn and settled his carriage at the inn before heading out again.

This time, he didn't take the crowded roads, but rather the hidden alleys.

He moved at a speed that didn't make it seem like he was someone who was not from Hidden Fang City, it was almost as if he was a local of this place.

It didn't take him long for him to arrive in the place that he was heading to.

This was a building that was in the middle circle of the city and was a place that everyone seemed to avoid.

Of course, that wasn't strange since this place was the headquarters of an infamous gang even in Night Fang City. It was a gang that had plenty of members and businesses all over the city, so it wasn't a gang that people wanted to mess with.

But Lin Fan wasn't a normal person.

After he arrived at this place, he used his illusion spell to make his way into the building without being seen.

Even if this was a powerful gang, that was only by mortal standards and the strongest person that Lin Fan had encountered was only in the High Qi Gathering Realm.

Not a single one of them was able to see through his illusion spells.

With this illusion spell, Lin Fan was able to make it to the top floor where he could sense his wallet.

As for what he had done to track his wallet..he had left one of Greeny's seeds inside of it, so that he could use Greeny to track where it went.

It didn't take him long to find the one who had taken it.

This was the very definition of a thug with his appearance. He had the rough hair, the ugly mug covered in scars, and tattoos all over his body.

No matter how one looked at it, they would be able to tell that he was a bad guy.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he had deliberately allowed him to take his wallet, it would be impossible for Lin Fan to miss this person.

Once he located the person that he wanted, that meant that everyone else in the room was unnecessary.

So with a simple flick of his hand, there were icicles that appeared in the air that instantly stabbed everyone who was here.

The people here might be important people for this gang, but they were just mortals, so he wasn't afraid of taking care of them all. Not to mention, these weren't good people in the first place, so he didn't have any scruples about taking care of them.

It would be a good thing for him to clean out these people.

As for the consequences, Lin Fan didn't mind since it wasn't possible for people to trace this matter to him in the first place.

Once everyone except for that pickpocket was dead, Lin Fan knocked the pickpocket out with a single chop to the back of the head before revealing himself.

When he appeared, he reached his hand to grab the body of this thug that was falling forward and then he gave another snap before both of them disappeared on the spot.

If the thug hadn't been knocked out, then he wouldn't have been able to do this.

Of course, it didn't take long for people to find out what had happened in this room.

That was more than enough time for Lin Fan to make a clean getaway though.

He brought the thug back to his inn and rented out a shed in the back.

To his surprise, the inn didn't ask a single thing and just let him rent it without a single complaint.

Of course, it wasn't as if Lin Fan had carried the thug in on his back. He had put the thug in the Pet Storage Space without any fear because he..wouldn't be letting this thug live in the first place.

Lin Fan was just surprised that the staff of the inn wouldn't ask a single thing about him renting a shed.

Still, he took it as it was and went to the back with the thug.

When he came into the shed, the first thing that he did was create a barrier around him that would prevent any sound from being leaked. At the same time, he had Greeny create a surveillance net around the shed so that he would know exactly when someone came near it.

After all of this, Lin Fan pulled out the thug from the Pet Storage Space and threw him in the chair in front of him.

The thug was still knocked out, but he didn't remain unconscious for long as Lin Fan threw a ball of water in his face.

When the thug woke up, the first thing he did was look around himself to see where he was.

It was interesting to see that the thug didn't panic at all.

With the way that he acted, it was almost as if he was already used to this kind of situation and knew what the best thing to do was.

After gauging the situation in front of him, he finally saw Lin Fan and couldn't help revealing a surprised look.

After all, he had never thought that the one who had kidnapped him was the sucker that he robbed earlier.

Lin Fan just waited for him to look at him before saying with a smile, "I have a few questions for you."
