A week passed just like this and as expected, the two gangs weren't able to find a single thing.
During this ti, Lin Fan wasn't completely idle either.
He had gone to various different rchants, the above ground side of the intelligence selling ga and had gotten so information that he wanted.
Once they were done with these two gangs, he had already figured out where to go next.
That is unless there was so new information from the cloaked figure.
The gangs stayed in their hideouts all day, going over the information that they had.
Lin Fan had already been watching them all week, so he knew exactly what kind of information they had for the cloaked figure. With what they had, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to avoid the "punishnt" that the cloaked figure had ntioned.
So Lin Fan was curious what the punishnt would be.
When night fell, the two gangs headed to the sa bar again.
When they t outside the bar, they looked at each other with grim looks before heading in together.
When the people in the bar saw this, it created another stir.
There was that eting between the two gangs just a week ago and now there was another eting like this.
Many people thought that sothing big was about to happen in this Flowing Mud Town with how active these two gangs were being. So many of them started gathering in this bar, waiting to see what would happen.
But neither of the gang leaders cared about this.
They only cared about what was in front of them.
Lin Fan was watching them the entire ti as they went into the room.
After both of the leaders entered, neither of them or any of their n dared to sit down in the chairs in this eting room. They just all tensely stood there as if they were afraid of sothing.
However, even though they had all gathered there, there was nothing that appeared.
It was only an hour later that there was movent as the cloaked figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Even though he had been scanning the room the entire ti, Lin Fan still wasn't able to see through this.
If he had to guess what it was, it was most likely so kind of cloaking ability just like his illusion magic. It obscured people's vision of the cloaked figure, allowing them to go wherever they wanted without being seen.
That is unless there's a more powerful cultivator that can overpower their ability.
Lin Fan's Appraisal Eyes just weren't strong enough for that.
That is what he believed because the other option…was too unbelievable.
The other option was that this cloaked figure was using so kind of space attributed ability.
This would allow them to teleport into and out of the room however they wanted, allowing them to move without being tracked.
But space attributed abilities were very rare.
He had heard from Mu Bao Bao that only those in the Nascent Soul Realm were able to do things like that without a very powerful cultivation technique.
So if this cloaked figure was using a space attributed ability…that would most likely an that they were in the Nascent Soul Realm.
If they were…then they couldn't even touch that person's feet. They would have no choice but to run with their tail between their legs.
After the cloaked figure arrived, both of the gang leaders and all of the n behind them imdiately fell to their knees in front of them.
The cloaked figure didn't acknowledge this as they just stared at the gang leader without saying a word. After a long ti, they finally said, "Rise."
The gang leaders looked up, but they didn't dare stand up.
As for the subordinates behind them, they just kept their heads down the entire ti.
The cloaked figure didn't say anything when they saw this, they just reached a hand out as if they were expecting sothing.
Both of the gang leaders had ugly expressions on their faces when they saw this, but they still waved a hand at the subordinates behind them. One of the subordinates from each gang took out an envelope for the bosses to take.
The bosses hesitated for a second after taking the envelopes, but they still brought them forward for the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure didn't react at all when it took the envelopes and they just pulled out the docunts instead to scan.
After scanning over the reports, the cloaked figure didn't do a thing as they just stood there as if they were still scanning it.
Then all of sudden, without any warning at all, the cloaked figure raised the report in their hand and threw it at the two bosses in front of him. The papers flew through the air in a manner that paper shouldn't have done and hit the bosses in the face.
When they were hit in the face with the paper, it was as if they had been hit with a club as they were knocked to the ground from this heavy blow.
Then after hitting them in the face, the paper fell to the ground like normal paper. However, both of these bosses had their heads stuck in the ground as if they had been slamd into the ground.
It took a bit of effort for them to pull their heads out of the ground and when they did, one could see the swollen cheeks on their faces. It was clear that this blow wasn't a light one.
But neither of the bosses dared to say a word about this.
The cloaked figure looked at them and there was a pressure that fell onto the bosses and their n. This pressure was so strong that they didn't dare look up at all.
Finally, the cloaked figure said in a cold voice, "Is that all you have?"
This cold voice sent a chill down their spines and they felt like they were on the edge of death. It was as if there was a noose that was tightened around their neck that would drop them at any mont.
But they couldn't back down now…
So the bosses looked up at each other before one of them said, "We just need a bit more ti. A week is just too short."
The other boss nodded and said, "If we can just have a bit more ti, we'll get all the information that you want and more. We promise that we will not disappoint you."
The cloaked figure just looked at the two of them as if they were considering sothing.
Then they walked forward and picked up the pieces of paper from the ground before walking back to where they had been standing before. They looked through the pieces of paper as if they were looking for sothing again.
When the bosses and the subordinates saw this, they couldn't help feeling a bit of hope.
After another long period of silence, the cloaked figure finally said, "Hmm, you did put in so effort, I can see that. It seems like I had been too harsh with my requirents. It seems like I've had too much hope in you."
The bosses and the subordinates couldn't help being taken aback when they heard this.
This was the first ti that they heard this kind of more gentle tone from this cloaked figure.
But of course, it also lit the sparks of hope inside of them.
Judging on what the cloaked figure said and the tone that they said it in, it seed like they were willing to forgive them.
So the bosses quickly looked up and said, "Master, we promise that we will not dis…"
Before they could finish though, the cloaked figure raised a hand to cut them off.
Both of them imdiately shut their mouths and waited for the cloaked figure to speak.
The cloaked figure looked at them and said, "Wait and let finish first."
They were confused by this, but they nodded and fell silent, waiting for the cloaked figure to speak.
The cloaked figure continued to look over the reports in their hand for a while before suddenly ripping it in half.
The bosses and subordinates were shocked and confused when they saw this as they couldn't understand what was going on.
Then before they could react, the cloaked figure ripped the pieces of paper in his hand in half again. He continued to rip the paper in his hand in half until he only had a bunch of scraps in his hand.
Once he had a bunch of paper scraps, he suddenly threw them into the air.
The bosses and subordinates all looked up at the pieces of scrap paper in the air with confused looks as they didn't understand what was happening.
The pieces of scrap papers just floated there in the air, completely defying the laws of physics.
The cloaked figure then said in a cold voice, "I'll release you now. You'll receive eternal release."
The subordinates were confused by this, but the bosses had looks of realization as if they understood what he was saying. Without any hesitation, they both stood up and started running towards the door.
But as soon as they started running, the pieces of scrap paper fell from the air.
The subordinates didn't even understand what happened, but the bosses knew what cut right into them as the pieces of scrap paper landed in their backs.
These pieces of scrap paper didn't stop at all as it cut right through their bodies, cutting them into pieces.
There was only the cloaked figure left standing by the end of this.
