Chapter 97: Chapter 97- A Deal

This was also the reason why he ordered ingredients he didn’t even use. To make his plan successful, he needed all these ingredients.

What Yang Chen was refining inside his room was a special medicinal liquid. Once this liquid was absorbed by the seeds of the thorn flower he asked the second elder to sow around the garden, they would grow up to become a blood red plant.

This blood red plant takes only a few days to grow and disperses a pheromone that is highly toxic and untraceable when they bloom.

[Traceless Shadow Advent], [Ghost Walk] Yang Chen used two of his battle skills to quickly hide his presence and made his way to the garden.

Thanks to the [Traceless Shadow Advent] skill that allowed him to assimilate with shadow itself, and the [Ghost Walk] that allowed him instantaneous and ghostly movements, Yang Chen was able to quickly arrive at the garden of the Zhang clan without alerting anyone.

When the second elder gave the seeds to the servant to plant, Yang Chen was keeping a close eye using his [Boundless Nature Eyes] on them. Thus he knew where exactly the seeds were planted.

Making his way over there, he sprinkled the special medicinal liquid on the ground before slowly walking away.

Now that his plans were all set in motion, he hurriedly needed to get away from here and reap his rewards from a safe distance. After all, this place was soon going to be turned into a cemetery with the poison of the thorn flower soon spreading its toxin all around the manor.

He did not have any plans to stick around here any longer and add to the number of casualties. Wouldn’t that be stupid? As such, Yang Chen quietly left the Zhang manor without getting detected all the while carrying a smile on his face.

One might spite and call his methods evil but so what? Yang Chen who needed to utilise the powers of the Greedvil system had long shaken hands with the evil.

Even in his former life, he had no time to be taught any values. So why would he start bothering about having some at this point? His distorted way of thinking born from his tragic past did not care for any such things.

For Yang Chen, results meant more than the means. He would do anything to get what he wanted. If somebody came in his way, he would simply eradicate them. It didn’t matter if the ones opposing him were villains, heroes or saints all would have the same fate.

If Amon overheard his inner thinking, he would have no doubt been overjoyed.

The morning of the next day, Yang Chen headed towards the Lin clan auction house to meet Lin Mang.

"Oh? Young friend Yang Yan, I was waiting for you" he was led by a subordinate to the side hall of the third floor where a chubby man was waiting for him.

"Did the young friend come to a decision?" the chubby man was none other than Elder Lin Mang from the Lin clan.

"Yeah, I have thought about this carefully and decided to participate in the entrance test" The reason why Yang Chen was here was to get sponsored by the Lin clan.

According to the rules of the holy orchard academy, one needed a recognised sponsor if one wanted to join the outer academy. Hence he was here to give his answer.

"In that case, I will immediately prepare your application and send it to the examiners" Lin Mang smiled and pulled out a document from his desk.

As expected of a competent merchant, he finished filling the document in a couple of seconds.

"Young friend Yang Yan, although I have already explained all the information that you need to know, if there is anything you want to know please don’t hesitate to speak up".

Yang Chen nodded his head at those words, he wasn’t among the ones to shy away when he needed to know something.

"In that case, how many members are participating from the Lin clan and would I have to work together with them?".

"About that, young friend does not need to worry. Only two people from our Lin clan would be participating this time. Although you are sponsored by us, there is no special rule obligating you to work together with the participant of our clan. As such, young friend is free to act as he wants."

Lin Mang explained tapping his pen on the desk. If it was someone else other than Yang Chen, he would have advised them to stick with the group. However, given Yang Chen’s strength, he felt that there couldn’t possibly be any hurdle that he wouldn’t be able to overcome.

"Young friend, I will send this to the examiner. So please make sure you are present before sunrise tomorrow near the East Gate. A carriage from our Lin clan will take you to the place where the entrance test will be held".

Seeing Lin Mang helping him take care of things, Yang Chen finally decided to tell them about the information he was withholding within him the entire time.

"Since Elder Lin Mang is helping me so much, it wouldn’t look good on my part if I didn’t contribute anything".

"Haha, young friend does not need to worry about such stuff" With Yang Chen’s potential, he was sure to get admitted into the inner academy one day. When that time comes, their Lin clan who was the sponsor would surely reap many benefits.

Lin Mang had his own motives for helping Yang Chen, he was just about to reject the latter’s gesture when the words that came out from the other froze him in his place.

"Just listen. A few days ago I happen to overhear an interesting piece of news from some members of the Zhang clan that concerns your Lin clan"...

"What does young friend mean?".

Seeing the immediate change in the facial expression of Lin Mang, Yang Chen nonchalantly continued. He told them about how the Zhang clan was planning to impede the participants from the Lin clan especially the daughter of their clan head who was going to participate this time.

He also told them about the two participants from the zhang clan and their strengths.
