With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

They looked at each other for a bit before Mu Bao Bao reached her hand out to tap Lin Fan\'s arm. Then she asked in a soft voice, "What\'s wrong?"

Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard this and he said, "They all died."

When they heard this, both of them couldn\'t help looking surprised.

They didn\'t need to ask who \'they\' were since they already knew everything from what Lin Fan had told them. They even knew about the plan that had been put into place.

They just couldn\'t believe that they were all dead.

After a moment of silence, Mu Bao Bao asked, "What happened?"

But this time, instead of answering, Lin Fan just shook his head.

Mu Bao Bao looked around and realized that they were still in the restaurant, so she nodded and fell silent.

However, it was clear by the way that Senior Sister Bing and Mu Bao Bao had stopped eating that they were bothered by this. Not just because the mercenary group was dead, but they had lost their only lead into finding the true identity of the fake Mu Bao Bao.

Lin Fan didn\'t say anything when he saw them like this.

Instead, he fell into deep thought once again.

When he had been observing the slaughter of those mercenaries, he had noticed something that had caught his attention.

It was when Yi Xue had suddenly run forward to stand in front of the bearded man. Instead of just finishing them off with a single blow, the fake Mu Bao Bao had taken her time in asking them questions and taunting the bearded man.

But the questions that she had asked sounded very strange…

It was as if she was really trying to figure something out that she just couldn\'t understand…

It didn\'t make any sense at all.

So Lin Fan couldn\'t help thinking of doing something…but this plan of his was really hard for him to accept since it was something that went against his morals. But he also accepted that this was probably the best thing that they could do in this situation.

At this moment, there was a powerful internal struggle inside of Lin Fan as he decided whether he should actually do this plan of his or not.

The girls had been in a daze of their own, but then they found that there was something off about Lin Fan.

They looked at each other again before Mu Bao Bao reached her hand out to tap Lin Fan once more.

Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts as she asked once more, "What\'s wrong?"

This time, Lin Fan didn\'t answer right away. Instead, he just sat there looking at the two of them in silence that made them uncomfortable.

However, the two of them didn\'t say anything as they just waited for Lin Fan to tell them what he wanted to say.

After a long period of silence, Lin Fan finally said, "I have an idea about what to do next, but…"

As his voice trailed off, they could see a slight tremble in his shoulders.

As soon as they saw this, the two of them immediately moved their chairs so that they were sitting beside him. Both of them leaned in to take him in their arms as they tried calming him down.

With the cloaks that they were wearing, it really was a strange scene seeing them like this.

But with the chill that Senior Sister Bing released, they all minded their own business.

Lin Fan took a while to calm down before saying, "Thank you."

The two of them didn\'t say anything as they still looked at him with worried looks.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "I have a plan that goes against my morals, but it is the best plan for this situation."

They could hear the pain in his voice, so they knew just how hard this was for him.

Senior Sister Bing turned to look at Mu Bao Bao while staying silent. She knew that Lin Fan was doing all of this for Mu Bao Bao, so it really wasn\'t her place to say anything.

Mu Bao Bao looked at Lin Fan with a mist in her eyes.

She was touched that he would do all of this for her, but it also hurt her to see him like this.

There were many things that she wanted to say, but she wasn\'t able to say it in the end since she knew that it would just hurt him more if she did. So the only thing that she could say in this situation was, "I\'ll stand by you no matter what you do."

Lin Fan looked right at her before giving a nod.

In the end, his love for Mu Bao Bao came through.

Even if this was a plan that disgusted him to his core, he knew that she was more important to him.

So he made up his mind to put this plan into action.

He could only apologize to all the people that this would affect.

…

Back in Stirring Sands City.

Inside of a certain restaurant.

There was a group of mercenaries who were currently having a meeting.

This was a group that was made up of three men, one who was in heavy armour, one who was wearing hunter armour, and one who was dressed in a simple robe.

The one in heavy armour looked like a rough middle aged man, the one wearing hunter armour was a gruff looking young man, and the one in the simple robe looked like a handsome cultivator.

These three were known as Triple Axis, one of the most famous C Rank Mercenary Groups in all of Stirring Sand City.

As for where their name came from, it was naturally from their party composition. They were the triple axis of power.

As they sat there, not a single one of them said a thing as they waited for their food to arrive.

When the waiter came over with their food, he couldn\'t help being surprised by how silent they were. But still, he left the food that they ordered in front of them and then walked off.

After he was gone, the three of them picked up their eating instruments and started stuffing their faces.

It was also then that the three of them started talking.

The rough looking middle aged man was the one to speak first, "Ah, this is it! It\'s been a long time since I\'ve had properly cooked food!"

The hunter then followed up with, "Aye! It\'s been too long since we\'ve had proper food like this!"

These two were expected to act this way because of how they looked, but it was different for the handsome swordsman. With the appearance that he had, it was really expected that he would speak in a gentle and cultured voice, but…

"Ha, ha, I know what you mean! It\'s been too long since we\'ve had good grub like this!"

He spoke in the same gruff voice as the other two.

The moment that he did speak, all of the girls who had been peeking at him from around his table couldn\'t help looking disappointed. It was like the illusion on them had been broken the moment that he had spoken.

But this was also the reason why they got along well enough to create this mercenary group.

The three of them all had the same personality, so they got along quite well.

After a loud meal like this, all three of them fell silent again.

They looked around the restaurant, causing the people who had been staring at them to turn away. Then the three of them all leaned in closer to each other before the middle aged man said, "Are we still set for this evening?"

The hunter took out a bag that he placed on the table before saying, "I already got everything." He turned to the handsome swordsman and asked, "What about you?"

The handsome swordsman patted his chest as if he was indicating something before saying, "I\'m ready."

With this, all three of them shared a nod before waving at the waiter.

The waiter quickly came over with their receipt and they all pulled out a few coins from their own pockets to cover their own meal.

Once they paid, they put on their cloaks and headed out of the restaurant.

In no time, they disappeared from sight.

When they reappeared again, they had just landed in an alley.

After leaving the restaurant, they had all jumped onto the roof of a nearby building and had run along the rooftops to reach this place.

Even after arriving in this alley, they looked around to see if there was anyone who was hiding there.

After making sure that there was no one here, they all let out a sigh of relief.

It was then that the middle aged man asked the handsome swordsman, "Are you sure that this is the place?"

The handsome swordsman had a bit of doubt on his face, but he still gave an affirmative nod in the end.

This was where he had been told to come by that cloaked person…but there didn\'t seem to be anything here.

That is until a voice suddenly asked, "Do you have the stuff?"

They all looked in the direction of that voice and there was a cloaked figure that appeared out of nowhere.
