Throne Of The Apocalypse - Chapter 3
Farion spat on the ground while wondering whats happening today, he was
doubtful. He was holding the debt contract, but Mafa didnt fawn over him. In
fact he looked him up and down as if he was some sort of a clown, not a debt
collector.
Farion wanted to threaten him with some words, to make him beg for mercy, but
the words stuck in his mouth. Farion found that he didnt have the courage to
face his nephew, nor speak to him.
Be careful of what you dont care about. Anyway Ill say this, if you didnt sell
your mansion to pay off your debt today, Ill hand the contract to thousand sails
citys chambers of commerces union and no one will dare to do business with
your [Golds.h.i.+re] chamber of commerce
When these words came out, the old butlers face distorted.
Farions method was indeed vicious. The old butler knew that this situation was
only temporary, even if they sold the mansion to pay of the debt. After all the
reputation that the old master built for decades wouldnt just disappear because
of the s.h.i.+pwreck incident. If it was given enough time, the [Golds.h.i.+re ] chamber
of commerce would completely get out of its current predicament. Maybe its
impossible to restore its former glory, but at least its enough to support the
young master to continue his magic studies. Maybe hell have the chance to
become an official mage, maybe.
The contract mustnt be handed to the chambers of commerces union.
Reputation is the foundation of any chamber of commerce. Once the union
decide to adjudicate, things will get out of hand.
The old butler’s face gradually turned white, and his right hand that was holding
Farions arm gradually trembled.
Lin Yun on the other hand looked as carefree as ever, as if he didnt even hear
the threats of Farion. He even had the heart to joke with the old butler: I
always said that Uncle Farions always cared about us, hes even worried that
no one will do business with us anymore
You must be joking, young master the old butler didnt know whether to laugh
or cry.
Lin Yun smiled and didnt say much. He held a lot of respect for this old man.
The old butler stayed with the [golds.h.i.+re] chamber of commerce until the end,
trying his best to take care of Mafa Merlin. That was above the responsibilities
of a butler.
Okay kid, lets talk about business Falions face was thick, and Lin Yun couldnt
help but feel annoyed You already saw the contract, your father owe me 8000
GC. either pay them now or use the mansion to pay back. I have business to
attend, so dont waste my time
The mansion is out of the question, Your price is too fair, that im afraid youll
suffer a loss
To use a mansion worth 100,000 GC to pay a debt of 10,000 was by no means
fair.
Farion didnt mind the sarcasm in Lin Yun voice, and asked So, youll pay?
Its not impossible
“Do you really want to pay back the money?”
The answer surprised Farion, he felt that he couldnt understand whats going on
any more. The entire thousand sails city know that after the s.h.i.+pwreck accident,
the [golds.h.i.+re] chamber of commerce didnt have a single dime left, after being
raided by the creditors and families of victims.
Now, the mice wont even enter. So from where will he get the money.
Thats impossible.
Farion coughed twice while trying to calm down himself Thats good, if you
have the money to be that would be for the best, now bring the 8000 coins
“There is no problem with paying back the money, but Uncle Farion, I only come
back few days ago. You have to give me some time to figure things out.
Otherwise, how do I know if someone wants to con our family?” Oh sorry, uncle
Farion , I didn’t mean you are a con man ”
“Are you joking with me?” When Farion heard this, his face darkened, staring at
Lin Yun like a poisonous scorpion: “Jimmy Jimmy, Get the fu** down here!”
A few macho gangsters rushed through the door. Their boss was a bald man
with a big scar on his face.
“FARION!” Watching this group of people rush in, the old butler suddenly
changed his face, and he did not care that he was old, and he stood up facing
those gangsters
“Farion is too much, did you forget how the master treated you when he was
here? Now, you hired those thugs for the sake of eight thousand gold coins!”
The old butler lived in thousand sails city for a long time, so how can he not
recognize these people. They were a villainous thugs that made a living by
being loan sharks, and they had taken a lot of lives on the course of their
careers. Especially, their boss Jimmy, he had connections to the underground.
Get out of the way, Old man
Jimmy didnt put the the old butler in his eyes at all. He raised his hands and
pushed the old butler the ground. Then he looked at Lin Yun and said: Hey
kid, Your name is Mafa Merlin?
Was it your right hand?
Huh..?
Was it your right hand that used to push Pavio? Lin Yun asked patiently.
What nonsense are you spouting? For Jimmy who had a notorious reputation
during his long career as a lone shark and a member of the red scorpion gang,
that was like a slap in the face.
Feeling humiliated by the way Lin Yun talked to him, He raised his right hand to
slap Lin Yuns face.
Liny Yuns expression didnt change as he caught the hand coming his way, and
polity asked:
Would you like it well done?
Huh?
What followed was a scream. Then a thick scent of a roasted meat filled the
room. When they looked around, they saw Jimmys right hand caught on fire all
of a sudden. It was cooked thoroughly under the blazing flames.
It was really well done, no more, no less.
Jimmy wasnt weak by any means. When he was in the red scorpion gang, he
even managed to kill an official magician. Otherwise, he couldnt have survived
in thousand sails city, where good and bad apples are mixed.
It was a pity that he met Lin Yun, a monster that formed his mana vortex under
10 minutes, and can be considered a top notch magician. Although, he was only
a level one mage, he could destroy Jimmy 10 times.
Lin Yun didnt even chant any spells. His hand just caught on fire all of a
sudden, and that was the end of a famous villain of thousand sails city.
As he let go of the burnt hand, Lin Yun didnt seem to hear the screams as he
looked at his uncle Farion and smiled.
Farion just knelt on the ground as his face bore an incredible expression with
his eyes and mouth wide open while thinking that the situation didnt go as he
expected.
What he imagined, was that he would threaten the kid a little, and the kid would
just hand him the mansions deed. But now Jimmy, the source of his confidence,
is lying in the ground screaming while holding his burnt hand, while the kid was
looking at him with a weird smile.
Farion thought that this smile looked similar to how the kid smiled at Jimmy
before burning his hand. Farion couldnt help but take a few steps back, while
shouting wha…what do you want to do? I,I,I,…I am your uncle, If you hurt me,
I will.
Stop joking, Uncle. I dont have time to hurt you. Im very busy
Lin Yun smiled and walked past Farion to help the old butler who fell to the
ground. Then he looked back at farion and said Ill get you the money in three
days.
Farion was stunned. He stumped as he left through the door before turning
back and saying well, youre a grown up now, not giving your uncle any face.
Ill come back in 3 days and see what youll get me.
