Chapter 56: Time to take care of you
I quickly turned around to grab the Ice Princess as she fell forward.
When she fell into my embrace, I could feel a soft feeling on my chest which made me blush a bit.
She really was big and soft…
But I quickly shook that thought out of my mind since I was in a dangerous situation right now.
Even if I had pushed back the C Rank leader, that didn't mean that he was finished yet.
He was still a powerful C Rank leader that normally someone like me wouldn't be able to handle.
That was right, the 'normal me' wouldn't be able to handle it.
But that didn't mean that I wasn't able to handle it at all.
That was why I was happy to see that the Ice Princess had fainted.
If she hadn't, then I wouldn't be able to use my full powers.
I lifted her up and held her in my hands as I started walking towards the forest.
The C Rank leader and the other C Rankers were caught off guard seeing how calm I was.
During the time that I had pushed back the C Rank leader, the C Rankers had already finished off the rest of the D Rankers or had chased them off. Those D Rankers didn't stand a chance against the C Rankers, so they couldn't do anything against them.
They did their best to scatter in every direction and only a few of them had escaped.
But there was also a poison that was in the air, which was why they weren't afraid to let these D Rankers escape.
They would die eventually from the poison, so there was no need for them to personally take care of them.
They turned their attention to the one that had sent their boss flying. But when they saw who it was, they all started teasing the C Rank leader.
"Boss, aren't you letting your guard down too much?"
"Even a kid like this can sneak up on you like this?"
They began laughing, but the C Rank leader had his brows knitted the entire time.
That was because he knew that Lin Fan wasn't as simple as he seemed.
Even though he looked like an amateur that couldn't threaten him at all, there was something off about him that gave him a sense of danger.
Not to mention…he hadn't seen how Lin Fan had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, catching him off guard. It was almost as if Lin Fan had appeared out of thin air, but that shouldn't be possible…
As far as he knew, there wasn't any power that would allow a person to do that.
So even if his men teased him, the C Rank leader narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before saying, "Who are you?"
The other C Rankers all looked at him with a strange look since they recognized Lin Fan as the porter that had been with the Ice Princess. They had been with him for so long that they didn't think that there was anything special about him.
He had only caught the C Rank leader off guard to blow him away like this.
With the poison in the air, it was a matter of time before he fell, so they didn't even need to do anything to them.
When I heard this question, I couldn't help revealing a smile.
I could tell from the looks on the faces of these C Rankers that they were completely looking down on me. The only one who actually thought I was a threat was the C Rank leader.
And he was right.
I just calmly said, "Freeze."
The moment that I did, all of the C Rankers couldn't help knitting their brows.
They finally realized why their leader had been acting the way that he had been acting.
It wasn't that he was being paranoid…but rather there was a valid reason for him acting this way.
They found that after hearing what Lin Fan had said, they weren't able to move an inch.
There were some that tried to resist this, but all that happened was that they started twitching. It was them trying to go against the strange force that was holding them, but they weren't able to move at all in the end.
The C Rank leader was one of the few who didn't try resisting since he knew that it was impossible in the first place. Instead, he looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Who are you and why are you doing this?"
When I heard this, I shook my head with a smile before saying, "Why are you attacking the Ice Princess in the first place?"
The C Rank leader was confused at being asked a question in response to his question, so he didn't know how to respond at first.
But in the end, he said, "Does that matter?"
I just calmly said, "Then why does it matter who I am?"
The C Rank leader didn't know how to respond to this since he still had the mentality of someone who considered themselves superior.
After all, while Lin Fan was freezing them all here, he was someone that had the pride of being a C Ranker.
That was like someone who drew the winning ticket in the game of life. So he had the pride of someone who considered himself a winner.
That pride was not something that was shattered easily, so it didn't matter if Lin Fan had caused them to be frozen in place like this. He would still act the same way that he did before.
So I gave a sigh and said, "I think that it's time for me to take care of you now."
"Huh?" The C Rankers all revealed confused looks on their faces when they heard this as they had no idea what Lin Fan was talking about.
I picked up the sword that the Orc King dropped and then walked over to one of the C Rankers.
Then in front of the rest of the C Rankers, I lifted the sword to that person's throat and slit it.
As that C Ranker bled out, he looked at me in disbelief as he couldn't understand what had just happened.
But I ignored him and turned to the rest of the C Rankers with a smile.
At this, the C Rankers felt a chill run down their spines as they realized what I meant.
