With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The inquisition squad leader turned around to look at the owner of the bar and said, "Xiahou Dun, there's no need for you to get involved in this matter."

The inquisition squad leader had even included his surname when he addressed him, making it clear that he wasn't giving him any respect at all.

However, the owner of the bar didn't care about this at all.

The owner of the bar just casually said, "But you're free to take someone against their will in my bar?" Then his voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you really think that you can act however you want here?"

As soon as he said this, there were a few people that started moving towards the inquisition squad.

These people were different from the rest of the mercenaries that gathered in the bar as patrons. These people were the subordinates of the owner of the bar that he had placed in the bar for when things got too rowdy.

They weren't scared off by the inquisition squad at all and rather it was the inquisition squad that was scared by them.

After all, these were the personal subordinates of the owner of the bar, so they weren't weak like the mercenary patrons.

The inquisition squad leader deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He didn't care about these kids, but if he were to offend Xiahou Dun over this matter, it would be a big problem. Even the president was careful when dealing with Xiahou Dun, so there was no need to mention him.

As the stalemate had been established, Xiao Huo was the one who broke it by saying, "We can go to the Mercenary Guild with you…" The hopes of the inquisition squad leader were raised when he heard this, but they fell right away, "But that's only on the condition that the boss and big brother Lin can go with us."

The inquisition leader once again knitted his brows as he thought this over.

If Xiahou Dun were to come to the Mercenary Guild, it wouldn't be a problem since they still had the president backing them. With that person that the president left, they wouldn't have a problem if things came to force.

However, there was this unknown "big brother Lin" that he had just mentioned.

So the inquisition squad leader said in a righteous voice, "We can't have people unrelated to the Mercenary Guild getting involved in a Mercenary Guild matter."

Lin Fan took this moment to step up.

He came forward and said, "Who said that I have no relations to the Mercenary Guild?"

The inquisition squad leader was surprised to see this person and he was even more surprised by the dangerous feeling that was coming from him.

He narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan more carefully before asking, "Who are you?"

Lin Fan just said with a casual smile, "I'm big brother Lin."

The inquisition squad leader and the rest of the inquisition squad all couldn't help revealing shocked looks in response to this.

All of the inquisition squad were experts since this was what was required from them. After all, if they weren't able to back their inquisitions with power, there was no way that they would ever be able to bring in the people that they needed to bring in.

So every single one of them felt the same feeling coming from Lin Fan as the leader.

They knew that even if all of them worked together, it was very unlikely that they would be able to beat Lin Fan.

But the question was, where did this person come from?

However, the inquisition squad was only shocked and didn't panic. After giving a cough to calm himself down, he said in a reasonable voice, "How can you prove that you have any relations to the Mercenary Guild. This isn't something that can just be proven with your word alone."

Lin Fan held up his Mercenary License with a smile and said, "I think this should be enough."

The inquisition squad leader looked at the Mercenary License and then his eyes almost popped out onto the ground as he stuttered, "Special, Special A, A Rank Mercenary?"

Everyone around looked at Lin Fan with shock after hearing this.

They never imagined that the newcomer that they had been partying with just yesterday was actually a Special A Rank Mercenary! They all knew what this rank meant and they were shocked to hear that someone as young as Lin Fan had this rank.

But for the inquisition squad leader, there was a different meaning.

As someone who worked for the Mercenary Guild, he naturally knew more about the workings of the Mercenary Guild than other people. This Special A Rank was only given to those that had the recognition of the headquarters, so it could be said that these people were directly or indirectly related to the headquarters.

For one of these people to show up now, it most likely meant that headquarters had suspicions about what was happening in Brilliant Light City…

The inquisition squad leader was also one of the Brilliant Light City branch president's close subordinates, so he knew more about the plan than other people did.

For a Special A Rank Mercenary to show up at this time, could it be that headquarters knew about…?

But as these thoughts passed through his mind, he didn't allow a single one of them to show on his face.

He just gave a cough and said, "Alright, since you are a Special A Rank Mercenary, then you are free to come along."

To save himself from any more embarrassment, he turned and waved his hand at his subordinates before walking out and saying, "Let's go then."

He tried to act like he was in charge still, but it was clear who was in charge here.

The mercenaries all looked at Xiao Huo with a worried look since they were all still afraid of the Mercenary Guild. They knew that this matter wouldn't be as simple as it seemed, so they were worried that something would happen to these kids.

But Xiao Huo just said with a brave look, "It's fine, even the boss and big brother Lin are coming with us. Nothing will happen at all."

The mercenaries all couldn't help looking at Lin Fan again with looks of surprise and awe.

They really never thought that this young looking man would be a Special A Rank Mercenary…

It seemed that one really shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Since Xiao Huo already said that it was fine, there was nothing else that they could do but wait.

The owner of the bar had one of his staff take over his job and then headed out with Xiao Huo's group and Lin Fan following behind him.

When the inquisition squad leader who had been waiting outside saw them finally coming out, he didn't say a thing as he started leading the way to the Mercenary Guild. The owner of the bar just exchanged a look with the rest of them before following the inquisition squad leader.

But in the end, they didn't even get to enter the Mercenary Guild.

When they arrived at the entrance, there was someone that suddenly came out of the Mercenary Guild to greet them.

When he appeared, everyone revealed shocked looks. That was everyone except for Lin Fan since he didn't recognize this person. That was, he didn't recognize him until the inquisition squad leader spoke.

"Bo…President, what are you doing here?"

Lin Fan understood from his words that this was the president of this branch that he had long heard about. As he understood this fact, he couldn't help taking a better look at this person.

This person was considered quite handsome with nice carved features and a pair of deep and bright eyes, but he couldn't help feeling that there was something sinister about him. It was as if there was something dark that was clutching onto him that gave off a cold feeling.

The president just looked at the inquisition squad leader and asked, "Is there a problem with me being here?"

The inquisition squad leader trembled when he heard this and he immediately bowed his head to say, "No, there's no problem at all!"

The president just waved his hand and said in a cold voice, "Go and stand on the side."

The inquisition squad leader trembled again, but he didn't dare disobey the president at all, so he headed off and stood on the side without making a sound.

The president turned his attention back to Lin Fan's group, or rather it should be said that his attention was fully on Lin Fan.

He ignored the rest of them and came up to Lin Fan and said, "This friend, I'm sorry that my incompetent subordinate has wasted your time." He cupped his hands and gave a slight bow as he said, "Please accept this apology from me."

Lin Fan was surprised to see how the president was acting, but since he was doing this, it wasn't as if he could reject his apology in public. So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was cup his hands and give a bow in return as he said, "It's been no trouble at all. I think that we all just want to get to the bottom of this."

The president nodded and said, "Un, everyone had good intentions, that's all. I'll personally take care of this matter, so this friend won't have to worry about it."

He then finally turned to Xiao Huo's group and said, "It was a mistake on our part today, so I hope that you can forgive us and not think ill of the Mercenary Guild. You are all free to go and there's no need to worry about the mission anymore."

​ Everyone was caught off guard when they heard this.

They had thought that the president showing up meant that this matter would become even bigger. But they never expected that the president would end this matter with just a few words.

This…seemed too strange for them to believe it.

Xiao Huo couldn't help asking, "But what about the beast? Isn't it still out there and hurting people?"

The president narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Huo for a few seconds before saying, "You don't have to worry about this. We've realized that it was a mistake assigning this mission to you since we've underestimated this beast's power. We have already assigned someone better suited to this mission already, so you don't have to worry."

All of Lin Fan's group immediately knitted their brows when they heard this.

They already knew the truth of the matter, but now the president was sweeping everything under the rug like it was nothing…

It was clear that the president was up to something!
