Chapter 109 - I Must Declare That Im Really No Robber (1/2)

“Everyone, to tell the truth, I really didn’t want to see the two splendid scenes just now.” Lin Liqiang couldn’t help but sigh. He acted as if Qin Fen was his opponent while Lev Mirov was his close friend. “It’s a pity. It’s really sad… that I’ve seen your beautiful experience of being killed instantly twice.”

“Young Master Lin….” Lev Mirov gave a bitter laugh. “Please do tell of what conditions you have to help keep this secret.”

“Oh?” Lin Liqiang’s expression turned incomparably delighted. He patted Lev Mirov on the shoulder. “You’re all right, kid! It looks like this bro has been blabbering too much. I take pleasure in adding details when telling a story like adding oil and vinegar to a dish. Has news already gotten around in the circle?”

Lev Mirov could do nothing but smile wryly. An awkward incident as small as an ant would become as large as a tyrannosaurus if Lin Liqiang spread it with that mouth of his.

These two incidents today were already incomparably shameful. If Lin Liqiang were allowed to exaggerate and spread rumors about it, it was possible that their families would kick them out of the list of candidates to be the successor of their respective families.

“That’s good. I won’t beat around the bush either.” Lin Liqiang suddenly sighed. “You know that I am a man of two hobbies. I love to gossip, and I love to chase beautiful girls. I need to spend money for the latter hobby, and I don’t like to use my family’s money. Even the money used to come here for the concert was earned by Old Enz’s blood, sweat, and tears.”

“I understand, Young Master Lin.” Lev Mirov nodded. “How much do you need?”

“How much?” Lin Liqiang’s expression turned righteous. “First of all, I must declare that I am no robber that profits from another’s misfortune. I’m just a bit tight with cash on hand. I just want to borrow a bit of money from you guys. Help a brother out, you know.”

Lev Mirov could only force a smile with the situation coming to this. “What Young Master Lin says is right, what Young Master Lin says is right. Personally, I quite respect Young Master Lin. It is an honor to lend you money.”

“Since you feel like its an honor, then I can’t possibly refuse your request.” Lin Liqiang had an appearance of grief. “Lend me around a hundred thousand….”

“A hundred thousand?” Lev Mirov smiled wryly. “From each person? Or in total?”

Big families didn’t control the spending of the youngest generation too strictly, but there was still some control. This was to avoid cultivating a prodigal child.

Lev Mirov and the others had some money on hand, but if the money wasn’t in the stock market, the money was invested in other things. Probably not a single one of them possessed a hundred thousand truly liquid funds on hand.

“A total of a hundred thousand is fine.” Lin Liqiang understood the circumstances within the circle quite well. “No matter what, my tender heart and I don’t wish for your reputations to stink within our circle.”

Lev Mirov could only smile wryly once more. He took out his cell phone and quickly carried out the transfer of funds from his bank account. He took half of his bank account savings and transferred it to Lin Liqiang. The others all did the same in transferring money.

They watched Lin Liqiang rake in the money and leave, and Lev Mirov could only sigh. Though he clearly knew how weird it was that Qin Fen used Lin Liqiang to fight, he was unable to use this as blackmail. He still didn’t know what his opponent’s greatest trump card was, after all.

It was because he didn’t know that Lin Liqiang was able to cheat him this time, but everyone didn’t feel too uncomfortable about this. There were rumors in the circle that quite a few people had been cheated by Lin Liqiang. It really wasn’t shameful to be cheated by him.

After failing two rounds of competition, Lev Mirov and the others no longer had the face to stay in the group. He arrived before Qin Fen and said. “Today we still have some things to do. I don’t know if student Qin Fen is free tomorrow? I’ve realized that I can learn many things from being with you. If possible, I wish to learn a few other things from you, sir.”

The others all nodded one by one. They had lost today because they weren’t prepared enough. They wanted to get a night to prepare then fight tomorrow if possible, so as to have a great possibility to reclaim their pride. Lin Liqiang wouldn’t have anything to threaten them with then.

More competition tomorrow? Qin Fen could hear the provocation, and his eyes immediately flared with light. If he encountered a field he wasn’t proficient in for tomorrow, he could always just avoid the challenge. Qin Fen was completely serious when it came to the possibility of losing money.

————-

Lev Mirov and the others left, and the group’s atmosphere immediately eased.

Song Jia was a clever girl. She knew that Qin Fen and Lin Liqiang certainly had several things to talk about having not seen each other for so many days. She didn’t force herself to stay in the group. Instead, she planned a dinner time with Qin Fen, and she left the group along with her sister students.

In the blink of an eye, the group went from consisting of several people to merely Qin Fen, Lin Liqiang, Enzo Rota, and Xue Tian, who was brazen-faced and determined not to leave.

“Hehe….” Lin Liqiang studied Xue Tian, soon chuckling casually.

“Haha….” Xue Tian likewise studied Lin Liqiang, and his smile was just as casual.

The two looked at each other face-to-face and chuckled a few times. Then both of them sniffed the air around each other’s bodies.

Suddenly, the two extended their hands and clasped them together in a tight handshake!

“The smell is of the same kind!”

Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian spoke in unison. They looked like old friends that had met in a foreign place, causing Qin Fen and Enzo Rota, who observed from the side, to be stupefied.

What in the world are these two? Are they wolves? When they first met, they laughed and smelled each other’s scent. They were able to determine whether or not they were the same kind of person just from this?

“I’ll introduce myself again. I’m Xue Tian, a new friend of Qin Fen’s.”

“I’m Lin Liqiang, an old friend of Qin Fen’s.”

The two quickly went from shaking hands to hooking arms around each other’s shoulders. Anyone who saw this and didn’t know the truth would believe that Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian were old friends of many years.

“Here.”

The silent Enzo Rota took a pen out of his chest pocket and gave it to Qin Fen. In the modern era of digital mediums, physical pens were often more for aesthetic purposes.

Qin Fen was a bit puzzled. Why did Enzo Rota suddenly give him a pen?
