Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 30: Giving Face, Not Taking It!

No wonder this group of people is so rude.

Without a doubt, this matter now concerns the life and death of their whole family.

The ruthlessness of the Dragon King Gang is well-known around here.

If someone plans to undermine them, they are almost certain to die.

Yet, even so, they are determined to take the risk themselves.

Because being poor is scarier than death.

"What do you mean, Uncle Fugui? Are you planning to threaten me?"

Jiang Fan squinted, looking at the group.

The saying goes that deceitful people come from poor and treacherous lands.

That's because when people are poor and hungry, they'll do anything to survive.

Don't assume villagers are honest and simple.

For profit, they won't care if you're from the same village.

Not to mention, their relationship was ordinary to begin with, just acquaintances.

"Xiaofan, Uncle Fugui isn't threatening you either."

"But you must understand, Uncle Fugui is risking his life, and can't help being extra cautious."

Song Fugui said quietly.

There was a hint of malice in his eyes.

Even though the other person is indeed a long-time neighbor, for the sake of his family's life,

he can only act as the villain.

"Oh, Uncle Fugui, you're being ungrateful, aren't you?"

"Who do you think you are, trying to hold something against me?"

Jiang Fan's eyes showed a hint of coldness as he gently stomped his foot.

Thud!

Immediately, a terrifying force was exerted on the floor of the house, causing it to shake slightly. The floor couldn't withstand the massive force and shattered instantly.

A clearly visible pit appeared on the ground just like that.

Just this one stomp displayed unparalleled destructive power.

Having advanced to the Refining Flesh Realm, and consuming Red-Scaled Treasure Fish Meat these days, his strength has been continually increasing. Now, he has the strength of a thousand pounds.

His every move carries immense destructive power.

Just a few ordinary people thinking to threaten a martial artist is simply madness.

What?!

Upon seeing this, Song Fugui and the others' pupils shrank, their hairs stood up, and they trembled all over, looking at Jiang Fan in disbelief and fear.

Even though they haven't seen much, they know a pig when they see one, even if they haven't eaten pork.

Ordinary people can't achieve that.

So the only explanation is that Jiang Fan is a martial artist, and a fairly strong one at that.

No wonder this guy is so confident.

Even when surrounded by several people, he was not panicked at all, but rather calm and composed.

Of course, a martial artist wouldn't fear being surrounded by them.

It's like a group of sheep surrounding a tiger—how could the tiger be afraid? They're just food.

The question is, Jiang Fan was just like them before, an ordinary fisherman. Why did he suddenly become a martial artist? What happened?

No, upon careful consideration, they aren't well acquainted with Jiang Fan either.

Jiang Fan rarely socialized with villagers, mostly keeping to himself.

He was thought to be a pushover, easily manipulated.

But who could have imagined that he had become a martial artist in secret?

This guy has hidden it too deeply.

"Fan, Fan, no, Lord Fan,"

Song Fugui and others said tremblingly, their bodies shaking.

They were no longer as arrogant as before and no longer intended to hold anything against Jiang Fan.

After all, if they really angered him, given their strength, it would take him just a few moves to beat them to death. The difference in power between a martial artist and ordinary people is just too vast.

It's like the difference between heaven and earth.

They are now deeply regretting their actions.

If they knew Jiang Fan was so terrifying, they wouldn't have provoked him, but now it's too late.

"Uncle Fugui, don't worry."

"Honestly, I understand your situation well; it's not really your fault."

"The Dragon King Gang has pushed you too far, making you resort to this."

"We're all villagers; in some sense, we're the same."

"I won't report you to the Dragon King Gang. It doesn't mean anything to me."

"In fact, I'd be happy to see the Dragon King Gang in trouble."

"Of course, you can choose not to believe me."

"The issue is, my fists are bigger than yours, so you have no choice but to believe."

"So, go back, I won't involve myself in this matter, and I will act like I've never heard of it."

Jiang Fan looked at Song Fugui and others, speaking directly.

"This."

Hearing his words, Song Fugui and the others calmed down immediately. Hearing Jiang Fan's straightforward words, they chose to believe him.

After all, it's not like they could stop a martial artist from reporting them.

Obviously, Jiang Fan is considerate, not wanting to turn against fellow villagers.

It's definitely a good thing for them.

No one can withstand the wrath of a martial artist.

"Lord Fan, we realize our mistake, this matter was indeed our fault."

"Let's pretend it never happened."

"We were never here to bother you."

Song Fugui and the others immediately swore, promising not to involve Jiang Fan in it.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Jiang Fan nodded, turned, and left.

Watching Jiang Fan leave, a young fisherman sighed, "Who would have thought Xiaofan, no, Lord Fan, became a martial artist without a sound, hiding so deeply."

"Right? Cracking the floor with a stomp, even a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist wouldn't be much stronger, maybe even some Dragon King Gang elites aren't a match for Lord Fan. No wonder he doesn't care about our business."

"Exactly, a martial artist can easily earn more than ten taels of silver a month, he wouldn't care about our little dealings."

"Luckily, Lord Fan is generous; otherwise, we'd be finished today."

A few young fishermen discussed, still feeling lingering fear.

Who would've thought that the sheep-like Jiang Fan could turn into a tiger in the blink of an eye.

"Let it end here."

"We shouldn't spread it around either."

"Lord Fan doesn't want to reveal his identity probably for his reasons."

Song Fugui reminded.

He believed Jiang Fan's background was already unfathomable.

It's not easy to become a martial artist; one must have a master.

Which means Jiang Fan's master must be a powerful martial artist, or how else could he train Jiang Fan?

Moreover, he might have many martial artist brothers.

So there's a considerable force backing Jiang Fan.

If he dared expose Jiang Fan's strength and angered him, his whole family might die without knowing how.

Even if the business gets exposed, he shouldn't rashly incriminate Jiang Fan.

Even if it has an effect, once Jiang Fan reveals he's a martial artist, the Dragon King Gang would think twice before offending a martial artist faction.

Though the Dragon King Gang acts domineeringly, they bully the weak and fear the strong.

Offending Jiang Fan would not only make enemies with the Dragon King Gang but also with Jiang Fan.

So the best course is to pretend nothing happened.
