When they looked over at the source of the sound, they found a small boy who was being held down by two large men. Standing in front of the boy being held down was someone in gold rimmed robes, looking like the exact definition of a noble.

The rich man looked down at the little boy and said, "You're calling me a scammer? You should be glad that I even took your job for that low price!"

​​

But the boy wouldn't give up even with the two large men pushing him into the ground, "Your pet food was what caused my pet to get ill, how can you deny it now?"

The rich man could see that a few people were looking at him with gazes of doubt, which angered him, so he raised his hand to bring down on the little boy, "You piece of trash, you dare slander me like this?"

The little boy closed his eyes and prepared for the hit, but the slap never came.

Lin Fan had appeared in front of the rich man and had grabbed his hand. He gave the rich man a cold glare and the rich man's legs turned soft, as they gave out under him.

The two rough men who had been pushing the kid down immediately let go of the kid and ran over to the rich man, helping him up.

As for Lin Fan, he just ignored the rich man and reached a hand out to the kid as he said, "Can you stand?"

The little kid looked at him in surprise, wondering why he would help him like this, but he still took Lin Fan's hand. When he stood up, he quickly walked over to where his dog had been slammed into the ground by the rough looking guards and tried to tend to it, but the dog wouldn't respond at all.

It wasn't in Lin Fan's nature to interfere in the business of others for no reason, but when his gaze had fallen over the little kid's dog, the system had suddenly given him a mission.

"Host, how can you accept frauds walking around tricking people?"

"Host, please expose this fraud for what he is and use real pet food to cure this little boy's pet."

"Host, if you fail or reject this mission, you will lose your pet food selling privileges."

Once he heard that, Lin Fan definitely couldn't let this mission fail.

Currently in Lin Fan's shop, the pet food business was earning him more than half of his points.

He was currently at his lowest point and he needed points to gain more power, but if he were to lose his most precious source of points now, it would be equal to shooting him in the foot.

The rich man slowly overcame his fear and his anger over how pathetic he looked immediately surged to his head as he jumped up and roared, "How dare you, how dare you! Do you even know who I am?!"

Without even waiting for Lin Fan to respond, he pointed his finger at Lin Fan and continued to rant, "I am the young master of the Chen Family, Chen Yi and a Junior Alchemist! Do you know who my father is! He is the Grandmaster Alchemist Chen Mu, one of the elders of the Alchemist Tower! You dare to defy me like this, watch how I crush you with a single finger!"

He then waved his hand at the guards and said, "This man is the one who assaulted me, what are you idiots doing! I want you to tie him up and beat him in front of the Alchemy Tower a hundred times! The same with the kid who slandered me!"

The two guards looked at each other before moving towards Lin Fan.

Since their young master had spoken, they had no choice but to follow his orders.

Seeing the two approach, Lin Fan just shook his head with a sigh.

Once the two were close enough, Lin Fan took care of both of them with a single palm thrust, sending flying past Young Master Chen and slamming into the ground. They created two small holes in the ground when they landed.

Young Master Chen looked back at the two in the ground and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

It only hit him this moment that he might have provoked someone that he couldn't afford to provoke. This madman didn't even care about the fact that he was in the Alchemy Tower, he was just beating people as he wished.

Didn't he know that there were plenty of experts in the Alchemy Tower? Or did he just not care?

After taking care of these two, Lin Fan began moving towards Young Master Chen. When Young Master Chen saw Lin Fan approach, his legs gave out underneath him and he slowly began inching back on his butt as he shouted, "Do you really dare hit me! Don't you know who I am! I am the star of the Chen Family, you will feel our wrath fall down on your head!"

But Lin Fan just ignored him as he approached.

However, right before Lin Fan could reach him, there was an old man who suddenly appeared between the two.

Lin Fan didn't recognize this old man, but Young Master Chen acted like he had just seen his saviour as he immediately jumped up to shout, "Elder Gu, you're finally here! This piece of trash dared to act up in the Alchemy Tower, he deserves death for his transgressions!"

But even with Young Master Chen shouting in his ears, Elder Gu didn't act up as he cautiously looked at Lin Fan.

He could tell that even though this man was young, he was in the Platinum Realm just like him. This wasn't someone who could be easily provoked, this kind of talent normally only came from a Legendary Realm Family!

Elder Gu raised his hand and calmly said, "This little friend, perhaps there has been a disagreement, but there's no need to resort to violence."

Lin Fan just gave a slight snort, "We're not the ones resorting to violence, it's the one hiding behind you." Then he turned to the little kid and said, "Tell him what happened."

The little kid hesitated a bit since he was facing one of the ten elders of the Alchemy Tower, one of the only ten Grandmaster Alchemists in this entire world.

But eventually the little kid overcame his hesitation as he said in a firm voice, "My father spent the last of our money to pay Young Master Chen to make a special set of pet food for my little dog so I could do well in our school's competition, but we were scammed in the end! When I fed the pet food we received from Young Master Chen to my dog, my dog immediately lost all its strength and collapsed. Then when I asked Young Master Chen about it, he called his goons onto me to silence me!"

Elder Gu knit his brows when he heard this.

Young Master Chen immediately said, "You're trying to slander me! I am a respected Junior Alchemist, why would I need to fool someone like you? You're clearly trying to pin some mistake you made on me to receive compensation!"

Elder Gu was stuck in a hard spot right now, one side was a Junior Alchemist who was a part of their Alchemy Tower and whose father was one of the elders who held the same rank as him. But the other side had an unknown young expert with an unknown background who was already in the Platinum Realm. It wouldn't be good if he offended either side.

But before he could decide, Lin Fan spoke first, "Committing a crime and being too afraid to admit it, you really are something special."

Young Master Chen suddenly fell silent before being filled with rage once more, "What crime! What proof do you have!"

Lin Fan ignored Young Master Chen as he came over to the dog that the kid was holding and placed his hand on its stomach. He sent in his spiritual senses to see what was wrong with the dog.

The system had already told Lin Fan that this Young Master Chen was a fraud, so Lin Fan would never doubt the system since he knew just how powerful it was.

As expected, when his spiritual senses swept over the stomach of the dog, he quickly found the problem.

Lin Fan opened the dog's mouth and suddenly stuck his finger inside, making the dog puke out the contents of its stomach.

When the dog was finished, there was a dark mass that was found in the center of the vomit.

Lin Fan picked it up after surrounding his hand in life energy and raised it up for everyone to see as he said, "I think this is plenty of proof."

Seeing this, Elder Gu deeply knit his brows.
