162: Chapter 162 You Don't Have to Bow to Anyone

The living environment here was simply atrocious!

Although she was a Demonic Beast and didn't understand human daily life...

...she knew clearly that Lin Fan hunted Demonic Beasts and sold their corpses, earning massive amounts of wealth with ease.

Just the Demonic Beasts she had seen him hunt today were enough to earn him millions. Why did he still live in a place like this?

However, it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask further.

After the two entered the house, they found it empty.

"Huh, no one's here? Did they go out?"

Qing Yu looked around the living room and immediately sensed that there was no one else in the house besides them.

Lin Fan's brow furrowed, sensing something was wrong.

It was already evening.

His mother and sister were always home at this time, and even if his father worked overtime, he wouldn't be this late.

Something must have happened.

He immediately pulled out his phone to call his mother.

A few seconds later, the call connected.

"Hello, son, are you home? Wait a little longer, we'll be back soon. I'm at the hospital settling the bills."

His mother's voice came through the receiver.

Hospital?

Bills?

Why would they be at the hospital?

Lin Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for what happened and who was injured.

His mother didn't hide it, telling him that his father had been swept off a roof by a violent wind at the construction site and was sent to the hospital by his coworkers.

Fortunately, he wasn't injured; that strange weather this morning had nearly cost his father his life.

Qing Yu clearly heard the words from the other end of the phone.

Learning that Lin Fan's father was hospitalized because of the violent wind—a wind she had caused herself—her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"He won't blame me, will he?"

Lin Fan asked for the hospital's name, said he would head over immediately, and then hung up.

He turned to look at Qing Yu beside him. The girl trembled under his gaze and hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

After staring at her for a moment, Lin Fan spoke:

"Stay here. Don't move."

Having said that, he left the house directly.

After Lin Fan left, Qing Yu slumped onto the floor, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

"Too terrifying."

She muttered to herself.

The moment Lin Fan looked at her just now, it felt as if she were being stared down by the God of Death.

Everything about Lin Fan filled her with dread.

Meanwhile.

Lin Fan left the outskirts and rushed toward the hospital where his family was.

Despite his mother's deliberate attempts to hide it...

...Lin Fan had still picked up on something wrong from the background noise of the call.

Night fell.

Most areas on the outskirts had no streetlights and were pitch black.

Lin Fan took out his mask and black robe and continued rushing toward the hospital.

After nearing the hospital...

...he used Void Walk, relying on his sharp perception to easily lock onto the ward where his family was, opening a spatial gate to arrive there directly.

Lin Fan stepped into the white space and arrived at his destination in an instant.

He didn't reveal himself immediately, standing at the entrance of the spatial gate.

He could see everything outside clearly, yet outsiders could not perceive his existence.

Seeing the scene inside the ward, a thick killing intent instantly flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

As expected, something had happened!

His father sat on the hospital bed; his body was fine, but his expression was very grim.

His sister, Lin Duo, snuggled beside their father, looking around with a face full of terror.

His mother stood in the center of the ward.

She was facing four men dressed in formal suits with cold expressions.

Several hospital staff members stood outside the door, peeking in at the situation in the ward.

"We don't care about the reason; your husband should have sped up the work schedule to avoid damaging the Materials."

"He must pay, or don't even think about leaving here!"

One of the men in suits declared coldly, his eyes showing no sign of compromise.

Lin Fan's mother looked distressed.

"We will pay, but can you give us a few days' grace?"

"It's already a blessing that my husband is safe; our money is only enough to cover the medical bills. I beg you, just give us a little more time."

She pleaded bitterly.

But those people weren't willing to listen at all, blocking the ward door and staring at the family with fierce eyes.

Lin Fan instantly understood the situation.

These people must be the bosses from his father's construction site. His father had damaged some building Materials when he was swept away by the wind, and now they had actually come to demand compensation?

What audacity; they were simply seeking death!

They didn't care about his father's life at all. If his father hadn't been wearing a Magic Accessory, he would be in critical condition right now.

"But you won't get any money by keeping us here."

"Please let us go first; we will definitely compensate for the damaged Materials."

Lin Fan's mother was still trying her best to persuade them.

One of the men was clearly annoyed by the mother's pleading.

He slowly released the aura of a First-Order Mage and approached her with a vicious look.

"Bitch, shut up!"

He barked harshly, raising his hand to slap her.

A cold light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he acted instantly.

Swish!

He streaked out of the white space at high speed, appearing in front of the man.

Slap!

Before the man's palm could fall, his wrist was gripped tightly by Lin Fan.

"As a Mage, to use your power to oppress a Mortal—you are not worthy of this strength."

Lin Fan said coldly as purple stars appeared around him, condensing into a Star Map.

"Thunder Strike."

He whispered the words, and thunder instantly coiled around his fingertips, surging into the mage's body.

The man convulsed violently under Lin Fan's restraint.

Lin Fan didn't stop there, throwing him toward the corner like a piece of trash.

Bang!

The man slammed hard against the hospital wall, smashing right through it.

He crashed through several walls in a row before finally rolling out of the hospital.

He looked wretched in the extreme, covered in blood and dust, his suit in tatters, and his limbs twisted and deformed.

One look was enough to tell that many of his bones were broken.

Inside the ward.

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the suddenly appearing masked figure.

They hadn't seen wrong—it was Mr. Chen!

The other three men in suits saw Mr. Chen.

First came shock, then they looked at the wall their companion had been smashed through, and their faces were gradually replaced by despair.

The ward was deathly silent; no one dared to make a sound.

In their eyes, Mr. Chen had appeared out of thin air and stopped the man who was about to strike.

He had severely injured him with thunder and then ruthlessly thrown him out of the ward. His movements were clean, efficient, and incredibly fierce.

Lin Fan's mother looked at Mr. Chen's tall back with a face full of astonishment.

For some reason, she felt this person was inexplicably familiar, and standing behind him gave her a great sense of peace.

Especially that head of black hair; it was exactly like her son's.

But she quickly dismissed the thought.

Her son was just a novice young mage.

While the person before her was the famous Mr. Chen; the two couldn't possibly be the same person.

"Mr. Chen, th... thank you for your help."

She took half a step back, wanting to bow in thanks.

Lin Fan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

He appeared before his mother like a ghost, supporting her shoulders to prevent her from bowing.

"That was close."

Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his confused mother, he spoke:

"You don't need to bow to anyone."

After saying that, he let go of his mother's shoulders and turned to look at his father.
