Everyone in the store looked at each other in blank dismay, they never expected that the owner of this store was a Gold Realm Expert!

Just by being a Gold Realm Expert, he could apply to create his own noble family and receive benefits from the Union Government, but he was actually spending his time running a pet shop. ​​

If there was even a Gold Realm Expert running the shop, just what other secrets was this shop hiding?

On the side, Momonga and Angela found what they watched funny. These weak humans were already this shocked by the weak Lin Fan, they really didn't know how big the world was.

Seeing that no one else was coming forward to challenge him, Lin Fan moved back to the counter and sat back down, watching everyone in his store.

The smarter ones that had tried probing Lin Fan weren't surprised by this at all since they figured that something like this was normal. This was a shop recommended by that Lord Mu, how could it be anything but extraordinary?

As for the others who were just watching the fun or had other plans, they were completely shocked since they never expected Lin Fan to be this strong.

In the end, they came to the same conclusion as the smarter people. This was a shop recommended by that Lord Mu, how could it be anything but extraordinary?

With this change in mentality, the young masters began looking around the shop seriously and they found the special ingredients.

Being from noble families, they of course had an understanding of high class ingredients, but they were also spoiled children so they had no idea of the price. Their followers on the other hand were capable people, so when they asked their followers about the prices, they learned that this place was selling these items at a very cheap price.

Once they learned of this, the young masters began concocting plans to bring these elixirs back to their families and earning credit from their family heads.

As for the young master of the Zhao Family, he went outside where he found the Young Master Ding being treated by his followers.

Young Master Zhao came over to help Young Master Ding up, which surprised Young Master Ding, but he had no time to care with the pain in his arms.

Young Master Zhao brought Young Master Ding to the closest hospital and after Young Master Ding's injuries were treated, they began having a secret conversation.

Young Master Ding first said, "Many thanks to Brother Zhao for bringing me to the hospital."

Young Master Zhao said in a humble voice, "Young Master Ding, it's nothing, it's nothing."

After that Young Master Ding's eyes turned serious, "Young Master Zhao, is there something you need from me?"

Young Master Ding was a bit hotheaded, but that didn't mean that he was an idiot. Once he had calmed down, he could easily see that Young Master Zhao had other motives.

Young Master Zhao came closer and lowered his voice, "Young Master Ding, you've seen how strong that shop's owner is, but if our families work together…"

…

Meanwhile in the store, there were fights that were starting between the young masters over the elixirs, but most of them kept it civil.

That was until the argument between two young masters had reached a point where they were about to start a fight.

At that point, Lin Fan had no choice but to interfere.

Lin Fan came over and said with a cold look, "Alright you two, break it up or you'll be blacklisted from this store like that fellow with the broken arms."

The two young masters shuddered when they thought of what had happened to Young Master Ding earlier.

Young Master Duanmu was a rather proud person, so while he didn't have any thoughts of fighting Lin Fan since he knew he couldn't win, he still wouldn't show a weak side to him. After matching Lin Fan's gaze, Young Master Duanmu just gave a snort before walking away.

As for the other young master, Young Master Situ revealed a smile as he came over to Lin Fan, cupping his hands as he said, "Brother Lin, I've troubled you."

Lin Fan just looked at him with narrowed eyes before saying, "Just follow the rules of the store."

Young Master Situ came closer with a flattering smile as he said, "Of course, of course, but I do have a question that I wonder if Brother Lin can answer."

Lin Fan was the owner of the store, so he had to answer the questions of the customers, but he didn't have a good impression of this Young Master Situ.

Still Lin Fan said, "Ask."

Young Master Situ leaned in even closer as he lowered his voice, "Brother Lin, do you harvest your own stock or do you have a supplier?"

The people that were smarter had been listening the whole time and of course this was something that they wanted the answer to as well. If they could create a contact with a supplier that provided them elixirs of such quality as these low prices, they would be able to consolidate their power in their families.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look over this Young Master Situ before calmly saying, "I get my own stock."

Young Master Situ had a trace of disappointment flash in his eyes, but he quickly recovered before saying, "Then Brother Lin, are you interested in cooperating with me? My Situ Family has many connections that would make distributing your stock much easier."

Lin Fan knew what this Young Master Situ was up to, but he could still use this kind of people, "For now, I don't have enough stock to discuss cooperating with Young Master Situ, but we might be able to discuss something in the future."

Young Master Situ wasn't disappointed when he heard this, Lin Fan clearly had his secrets and if he pulled too hard, he would lose this fish. Young Master Situ just said with the same smile, "Of course, of course, but isn't Brother Lin being too insincere? There's no need to call me Young Master Situ, you can just call me Brother Situ."

Lin Fan didn't respond and just gave a perfunctory agreement before walking away.

Young Master Situ didn't stop him since he had achieved his goal, he had at least made the connection to Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan walked to the side, Brainy stopped its game to slither up to Lin Fan's arm.

Brainy wrote, "Isn't it a good thing to make a connection with a noble family, especially since we've already offended two of them?"

Lin Fan looked at Momonga who responded with a nod before saying, "He's not someone good to cooperate with, he's someone who wouldn't hesitate to betray you for benefits. Didn't you see everything he did before?"

Brainy was confused as it wrote, "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan said, "That Situ fellow secretly provoked that Young Master Duanmu to create a fuss since he knew that Young Master Duanmu would be too proud to lower himself with an apology. He wanted to create a fuss to draw my attention, that way he could have a reason to approach me and get the information he wanted."

Brainy still wrote, "Even if he is someone who is moved by benefits, we clearly have more to offer than those two noble families, so we could use him temporarily."

Lin Fan still shook his head, "No, rather than someone like him who's always plotting, I would rather work with that Young Master Duanmu?"

Brainy was surprised, "You want to work with that unfriendly fellow?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile, "Even if he is unfriendly, he is someone who is frank and honest. He was just acting that way because of his pride and the position he was put in, but I'm sure he's someone who sticks by his friends."

Brainy couldn't understand what Lin Fan was saying, "How are you so sure?"

Lin Fan's eyes turned distant and a trace of fondness entered his smile, "Well, I've seen plenty of people like him before." As he said this, Lin Fan fell into his memories of the distant other world, one where he had been deeply trapped in the world of the upper class.

Brainy saw that Lin Fan had his own ideas, so it didn't say anything else.

As for whether or not the other people in the store had heard Lin Fan and Brainy's conversation, Momonga had taken care of that. He had used his spiritual senses to create a barrier around them that stopped sound from spreading.

After Lin Fan came back to his senses, he asked Brainy, "Did you plant the seeds on them?"

Brainy nodded its vine head.

Lin Fan revealed a cold smile as he said, "Good."
