Chen Fan saw this scene and secretly laughed.

He thought the old man had resigned himself to death; there’s an old saying, "There’s no greater sorrow than a dead heart." If that were the case, he wouldn’t have had any good solutions.

Turns out, this old man still wants to live.

"Little brother..."

The old man’s plea for mercy continued.

"Enough."

Chen Fan frowned and said impatiently, "Considering you kept your promise this time, I won’t hold past grievances against you. But if you pull that trick again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"It won’t happen, it won’t happen."

The old man felt a sense of relief as if he’d had a brush with death, looking at the three corpses on the ground with lingering fear.

He just wanted Chen Fan to break these three men’s legs to vent his anger. Who would have thought this young brother would be so ruthless and directly took their lives?

But, to be fair, these three beasts deserved it. They relied on their physical strength to collect protection fees in the shantytown and did more evil deeds like bullying men and women and acting recklessly. Each of their hands was stained with several lives.

Just...

"Hey? Little brother?"

The old man glanced at Chen Fan turning around and asked in a panic, "Are you leaving already?"

"What else?"

Chen Fan looked back at him, "I’ve solved your problem. Why stay here? You’re not thinking of having me clean up this mess, are you?"

"Not that, little brother."

The old man looked troubled.

"These three could act so boldly here because they had backing. Most of the protection money they collected went to those people. If you killed them, it won’t be long before this news reaches their superiors. And then..."

"What?"

Chen Fan’s voice turned cold, "You want me to take care of their superiors too?"

"No, no."

The old man trembled, tearfully saying, "I don’t have that kind of guts. I’m saying, little brother, why not complete the good deed and take me in?

You see, I live here alone, destitute, without anyone to rely on. I don’t have enough to eat, and my leg is broken. Just getting up to go to the bathroom is a hassle."

"This old man."

Chen Fan felt speechless.

When he left earlier, he wanted to ask if the old man wanted to come with him? The stronghold was vast, finding someone to take care of the old man wouldn’t cost much.

Considering the secret manuals he could obtain, it was definitely worth it.

But the old man said he wanted to be left alone.

Now, things have flipped completely.

He looked at the old man and asked, "Weren’t you afraid of me earlier? Aren’t you worried that coming with me could be worse than staying here?"

"How could that be?"

The old man smiled fawningly, "Little brother, you clearly distinguish right from wrong. How could you do such a thing? Besides, I won’t come empty-handed."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan’s lips curled slightly, "So how won’t you come empty-handed?"

"Every seven days, I’ll give you a genuine secret manual fragment."

The old man wore an extremely pained expression.

"Fragment?"

Chen Fan sneered, "A week for a full manual wouldn’t be too much."

"Little brother, I want to too."

The old man cried out, "You know, I left in a hurry back then and didn’t have time to bring much. Later, hiding here and there, I lost many ancient texts. The two I kept cost me a lot of effort."

"Heh."

Chen Fan chuckled.

He’s dealt with this old man several times; others’ words may be nine truths and one lie, but this guy’s are nine lies and one truth.

"Alright then, every three days I want a secret manual fragment, every five days a complete one. If you agree, I’ll take you to the stronghold. If not, then forget it."

"Five days, this this..."

The old man anxiously said, "Little brother, I really don’t have that many ancient texts!"

"So, you don’t agree?"

Chen Fan turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey."

The old man cried, "Alright, alright, little brother, I agree. But I must say, I don’t have many complete manuals and won’t be able to keep up with five days forever."

"We’ll talk about that when the time comes."

Chen Fan coolly replied.

In any case, he’ll first extract all the knowledge from this old man.

"Alright, alright."

The old man finally felt relieved.

He didn’t want to leave unless utterly desperate.

And desperate times were now.

Rather than wait here for trouble from Wang Li’s superiors, it’s better to leave while he can. Following this young brother is the best choice.

Firstly, he has what Chen Fan wants. Secondly, Chen Fan is reasonable and can be trusted.

"Little brother, come help me pack. Don’t worry, I don’t have much to take, won’t take long."

The old man said cheerfully.

Chen Fan reluctantly walked over to help him stand up.
