Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Thousand-Year Hatred!

"The Ji Family?"

Upon hearing this surname, Lin Fan’s brow slightly furrowed.

This surname was no longer common; it belonged to one of the ancient eight great families.

"Yes, I was originally a minor figure in the Ji Family. It was only through their support that I achieved what I have today. Logically and emotionally, all my wealth has come from the Ji Family’s support. However, the hardships I’ve endured throughout half my life, that pain is known only to me. Moreover, in every partnership, I have always handed over the lion’s share as agreed, never once being disloyal!"

Mr. Jiang sighed deeply.

Despite being the hidden tycoon behind billions in assets, his real estate was nothing compared to theirs.

"Now, as I grow old, all my hard work for the Ji Family seems to be erased in one stroke. Although this accumulation of capital indeed cannot be separated from the relationship with the Ji Family, my own ability played a part as well. Otherwise, why would I, out of so many people, be the only one who has come this far? Yet, what I get in return is a demand that I should never set foot in Modu again. I am not willing to accept this!"

"So, since I met you, I have wanted to take control myself. I can forsake my fortune of billions, but I want to hand it over to you and also find someone dependable for my inept daughter so that even if I am gone, she can live a good life in this world and not become just a pawn of the Ji Family."

Mr. Jiang’s words also made Lu Feifei look towards Lin Fan.

In her heart, Lin Fan truly was a suitable person to entrust and rely on.

That is why she gritted her teeth and left her comfort zone to venture into the deceitful Modu.

She realized Mr. Jiang’s intentions; after all, if Jiang Yuting really ended up with Lin Fan, what he owned would also be hers.

"Do you know how long the Ji Family has existed?"

After hearing Mr. Jiang’s frank confession, Lin Fan suddenly laughed.

He was not familiar with martial cultivator families, but he was very familiar with these ancient great surnames.

After all, it was they who had united to overthrow all the systems he had established in his former life.

Their existence was essentially the nemesis of his previous life.

Especially the Ji Family, who were the leaders.

"I’ve only heard about a legacy spanning over a thousand years..."

Although he had served as a loyal tool for the Ji family all his life, Mr. Jiang still didn’t really understand it.

He only knew of its immense power, much like many other wealthy henchmen.

"Then do you know how powerful the Ji Family really is?"

Lin Fan merely smiled and continued to ask.

"I... I only know that many years ago, a martial cultivator family claiming to be centuries old tried to force their way into Modu with a team of a hundred, all of them top experts, more than half of whom were ranked highly. Yet, they were annihilated by a single person sent by the Ji Family."

As Mr. Jiang was not a martial artist, he naturally did not understand the power behind this.

All he knew was that this person, with just a sword, completely eradicated a martial cultivator family that had lasted for hundreds of years.

This event had once shocked all of Modu and to this day, it remains a legend.

"Then what makes you think that I can overturn the Ji Family’s decision?"

Lin Fan continued to maintain a smile as he looked at Mr. Jiang.

Despite the continuous questioning, he expressed no opinion.

"Because I believe that you are capable enough. The Ji Family indeed needs someone like you. As long as you prove your worth, I believe that the Ji Family will definitely use you to replace me. I have never misjudged someone."

Mr. Jiang’s words let the hall sink into gloom.

Lin Fan did not speak further but instead stepped out of the living room.

Looking at the lush green trees in front of him, his gaze deepened.

At that moment, Lu Feifei had no idea what Lin Fan was thinking; she could only sit there silently, waiting.

"Fine!"

Finally, after a long silence, Lin Fan spoke.

When he turned around, he looked directly at Mr. Jiang and said, "I will take on this matter, but I was born with a stiff backbone, especially these damned legs of mine that can’t bend, so I can’t live on my knees. I’m taking over the Jiang Family’s assets!"

If anyone else had said this, it would have been a joke, after all, such assets were worth billions, and no one else had the status to claim them outright.

But Lin Fan was different; what he wanted wasn’t the assets of the Jiang Family, but rather the connections between the Jiang Family and the Ji Family.

However, he definitely wouldn’t just sit back and listen to them anymore.

"Thank you, Lin,"

Mr. Jiang actually had to thank him although he agreed to take over his billion worth of assets.

This was perhaps something that hadn’t happened in a thousand years.

But at the moment, this money had become the Jiang Family’s execution block, enough to keep him restless.

If someone could take it away, it would indeed be a good thing for him.

"I will first deal with some other matters, then I will make my way to Modu. When the time comes, I’ll handle everything. Don’t worry, I guarantee it won’t be long before you can return to your native land in glory."

He naturally knew that since the great eight families had survived until now, they were certainly not common in their prowess, and there might definitely be some old monsters in the Ji Family.

With his current capabilities, he still couldn’t fully handle it, and he couldn’t guarantee if there might be any collusion behind these eight families. If there were any slight missteps, the consequences would be unimaginable; he would definitely not make the same mistakes again and let his beloved die in vain at Lu Platform.

Thus, he needed to enhance his own strength first.

"No problem, I will notify Jiang Yuting then, and we will coordinate everything with you. Just be aware, the people from the Ji Family are quite arrogant, especially those recently promoted within their ranks, who are also flexing their newfound power."

Mr. Jiang did not know whether this choice was right or wrong.

But now, he was at a point of no return and had to take his chances.

"Don’t worry, I’ll teach them how to be proper human beings,"

Lin Fan squinted his eyes.

The rules in Modu might have to change quite a bit because of his arrival.

"With Lin here, I believe that Modu will definitely reshuffle."

Mr. Jiang was quite aware of Lin Fan’s capabilities,

especially the gleam in his eyes, which carried a certain innate nobility.

He couldn’t predict the future, but he could guess it.

From the day Lin Fan arrived in Modu, the city would welcome a new overlord.

They chatted briefly about the recent happenings and the general situation in Modu.

As the day turned to dusk, Lin Fan and Lu Feifei finally stood up.

"Shall I arrange for someone to prepare some dinner?

Knowing the two were leaving, Mr. Jiang felt somewhat reluctant.

"No need, we already have dinner plans tonight,"

Lin Fan said, smiling while holding Lu Feifei’s waist.

Since Ning Mengyao had been so thoughtful in giving him a surprise,

he had to give her one in return.

Moreover, this surprise had been long in the making, appearing countless times in his mind.

Since everyone is good sisters, let’s not push and shove.

It might be better to sleep together under one big quilt.

One fiery and sexy, the other mature and voluptuous.

This night was destined to be sleepless.
