Chapter 636: The fated day (17)
When it was over, the old master couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a look like he wanted to ask what that black worm was, but he found that Lin Fan had already turned away from him.
Instead, Lin Fan had turned to look at the third master who was currently being restrained by the vines.
The third master trembled when he felt Lin Fan's gaze fall onto him.
He had wanted to say something, but he wasn't able to say a thing.
It was both because of the pressure that was on him and the vines that were holding his mouth shut. The best that he could do was make a few muffled sounds, but he wasn't able to let out a single word.
Lin Fan didn't care as he slowly walked over to the third master.
Then raising his hand, there was another black worm that appeared.
When the old master saw this, he couldn't help revealing a strange look and a bad feeling filled his heart.
Why would Lin Fan be giving the same black worm to his third son?
Lin Fan clearly hated his father for trying to poison him, so it wasn't as if he would spare him…or would he?
Perhaps he had a change of heart and was giving him the same chance as him?
If so, then did that mean that the black worm was something good?
That was how the old master deluded himself into thinking that there was still a chance of survival for him. He just wanted to believe that Lin Fan would keep his promise and spare his life, so he decided to not face the hard truth.
When Lin Fan brought the black worm up to the third master's mouth, the third master firmly closed it.
The vines had gone away, but the third master had firmly shut his mouth as if he refused to open it no matter what.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
He didn't say anything as he raised his other hand up to the third master's mouth and suddenly grabbed his jaw. He started pinching inward on that jaw, putting force on it until the third master had no choice but to open his mouth.
Though he opened his mouth, the defiant look in his eyes made it clear that he planned on resisting to the end.
Lin Fan didn't care as he just casually tossed the black worm into the third master's mouth.
The moment that he did, the third master forced his mouth to close.
The strain that he used was enough to shatter his jaw, that was if Lin Fan hadn't let go in time. If he didn't let go and the third master's jaw was shattered, there was no doubt that the third master would have bled to death before Lin Fan was able to do anything.
So he had no choice but to let go.
After his jaw was released, the third master immediately closed his mouth.
His teeth came down on the black worm and even if there was a strange bitter taste that filled his mouth when he bit through the black worm, he didn't hesitate at all to cut the black worm in half with his teeth.
After he bit through the black worm, there was a bit of black liquid that came out of the corner of the third master's mouth.
This black liquid was so dark that it looked very terrifying, but the third master didn't care.
All he did was look at Lin Fan with a triumphant smile.
Lin Fan shook his head like he was looking at an idiot before saying, "That was poison. All you've done is poison yourself."
Both the third master and the old master trembled when they heard this.
Lin Li Zi couldn't help revealing a faint bitter smile when she heard this, but that bitter smile quickly disappeared. After all, she had already accepted what had happened to her and was with Lin Fan to the end.
A little poison wouldn't be enough to stop her.
The third master looked at Lin Fan as if he was trying to figure out if he was lying or not, but Lin Fan just gave a shrug and started to walk away.
The third master didn't know what to say or what to do, but there was a faint dull pain that was slowly coming from his chest that made him panic a bit. He didn't know what this dull pain was, but it was clear that something was happening with his body.
Was it the poison that Lin Fan mentioned before?
The third master tried to force himself to stay calm, but he could feel that the pain was getting stronger inside of his body.
The more that he tried to resist it and ignore it, the more that it acted up.
It seemed that at this rate, he really would die from this poison.
When his death was in front of him, he couldn't help feeling fear.
Though he wanted to resist Lin Fan to the end, that didn't mean that he wanted to die.
He wanted to find a way to save himself if he could, so his will instantly shattered.
After a moment of hesitation, the third master said, "Wait, what is this poison that you've put in me?"
Hearing this question, the old master focused his ears to listen to Lin Fan's response.
After all, he had the same poison inside of him.
Lin Fan didn't answer this question and instead turned around with another black worm in his hand. He held this black worm up in front of the third master's face and said, "Do you want to be saved? If so, swallow this."
The third master looked at Lin Fan with a very strange look that reeked of doubt, but there was a look of desperation in his eyes. He could feel the pain coming from deep down inside of him getting stronger…
It didn't seem like he would have much time left.
Slowly, he opened his mouth and allowed Lin Fan to put the black worm in it.
However, he didn't swallow the black worm as he looked right at Lin Fan with it in his mouth.
He could feel the black worm writhing, but he did all he could to stop it from going down his throat. He used his tongue to trap the worm as he kept staring at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "Swallow it if you want. The liquid inside of the black worm is a special poison that can only be suppressed by the enzymes of the worm. As long as you don't have this black worm inside of you, the poison will keep acting up."
The third master revealed a look of panic when he heard this.
The black worm was still in his mouth, but his tongue was slowly moving out of the way.
He had no idea if what Lin Fan said was even true, but this was the only hope that he had at this point…
So after a moment of hesitation, the third master moved his tongue out of the way and swallowed the black worm.
Nothing seemed to happen at first when he swallowed the black worm, but then the pain inside of him started to become weaker. He could feel it slowly disappearing from inside of him.
At the very least, Lin Fan hadn't lied about the enzymes of the black worm suppressing the poison that it released.
Though there wasn't much that he could do against the poison of the black worm now that it was inside of him.
The only thing that he could do was see what Lin Fan wanted to do with him.
Both the old master and the third master looked at Lin Fan with eyes waiting to see what he would do next.
But Lin Fan had a very relaxed look on his face as he went over to where the old master was.
The old master wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
After coming up in front of him, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Isn't this seat for the head of the Lin Family?"
The old master was surprised to hear this.
After a moment of reluctance and hesitation, he stood up from his seat and moved out of the way for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't care about the look on the old master's face as he walked right past him and sat down on the seat that had been emptied.
After sitting down, he raised his hand and created a mirror of water.
Both the old master and the third master looked at him with confused looks seeing this.
When Lin Fan turned to look at the third master, it was as if he realized something.
With a wave of his hand, the vines that had been binding the third master were released and he fell to the ground.
The third master slowly stood up and dusted himself off before walking forward.
He stood apart from the old master as they both looked at the mirror of water instead of each other. It was clear that there was some tension between the two of them, but that wasn't strange because of what had happened.
Lin Fan also didn't care as he just looked at the mirror of water.
Only when there was a ripple that appeared on the mirror of water did he say, "Oh, it seems like it's about time. The show is about to begin."
