Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 562 - 555: What Is the Meaning?
"Is this a threat?" Lu Ran raised his eyebrows and said.
Behind Zhang Pan, there were some so-called henchmen.
Not as many as Liang Shaoyu’s.
After all.
Following Zhang Pan didn’t offer resources like following Liang Shaoyu would.
Sticking with Zhang Pan was just a way to show off using his father, Zhang Huaiyang.
"Not really, I just want to make friends with you. If you don’t want to, then we’re enemies." Zhang Pan said with a sneer.
Even.
The so-called henchmen around Zhang Pan began to echo him.
"Lu Ran, you’d better wise up."
"Even if you have a hidden profession, you don’t even have a rank."
"If you accidentally get assassinated, it’d be a pity."
"Being friends with Young Master Zhang is an honor for you."
...
To be honest.
Lu Ran was quite curious.
What was Zhang Pan’s purpose in coming?
If it’s really to make friends with Lu Ran, with that attitude, it’s impossible.
Could it be pure threats?
Trying to assert some presence on Lu Ran, the number one genius in the academy?
That must be the only possibility.
"Zhang Pan, right? If I recall, your profession is the normal profession of a thief, correct?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yeah." Zhang Pan frowned, saying.
Clearly.
Zhang Pan wasn’t very satisfied with his own profession, but there was no choice. Once awakened, it’s unchangeable; that’s fate.
"Exactly, just a mere thief wanting to be my enemy? Have some dignity, who do you think you are?" Lu Ran said directly.
It was downright discourteous.
This left Zhang Pan and others stunned.
In the past.
Although Lu Ran didn’t get along with them, he wasn’t this open and arrogant.
Unexpectedly, now his attitude was like this.
Completely disregarding them!
"What’s wrong with a thief? I have my dad. Do you know the consequences of crossing me?" Zhang Pan threatened.
That’s why.
This whole making friends thing didn’t exist.
Zhang Pan was still the same, liking to show off everywhere.
Now that he’s awakened a normal profession.
Probably feeling upset with nowhere to vent, he came to seek some presence from Lu Ran, the newly awakened number one genius with a hidden profession.
Trying to regain some sense of existence from Lu Ran.
"That’s it, in the end, it’s still all about Zhang Huaiyang. These henchmen of yours are also here because of Zhang Huaiyang. Without him, what do you think you are?" Lu Ran asked.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? Even without my dad, I can easily handle you with my network and influence!" Zhang Pan said angrily.
To be honest.
The current situation made Zhang Pan very uncomfortable.
He came looking for a sense of presence, not to be reprimanded by Lu Ran.
In his understanding, although Lu Ran awakened a hidden profession, he was introverted; faced with his provocation, he would definitely remain silent.
He could perfectly enjoy his superiority.
But unfortunately, he failed.
Lu Ran not only didn’t remain silent but instead, with a few words, left Zhang Pan speechless.
"Have some dignity, your network and influence? With these henchmen, without Zhang Huaiyang, do you think they’ll stick with you? I’m quite curious, after you’ve used them for so long in the academy, will they hold a grudge against you?" Lu Ran asked.
"Hmph, what’s the use of saying so much? My dad is in Black Fire City, he won’t disappear." Zhang Pan said proudly.
Anyway, using his father to show off wasn’t a secret.
Nothing to hide.
"Come on, do you have your father’s contact on your communication device?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yeah, so what? Isn’t that a given?" Zhang Pan said.
"Open your communication device and stare at your father’s name, do it now." Lu Ran said.
"What do you mean? My father’s online; I can have him deal with you anytime." Zhang Pan said.
Lu Ran sighed.
This kind of guy is quite something, always yelling "let my dad hit you," it’s funny. Doesn’t he feel embarrassed?
Lu Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "You seem completely unaware of my background, let me give you a glimpse."
"What? What do you mean? What background?" Zhang Pan looked at Lu Ran in confusion.
"Do you really think I’m just a poor student from the slums?" Lu Ran asked.
"Aren’t you?" Zhang Pan said disdainfully, looking at Lu Ran.
"Of course not; I can immediately have my men kill your dad. After all, your dad isn’t a good guy; his reputation precedes him, so I’d be upholding justice." Lu Ran said.
"Haha... you’re killing me with laughter. Are you feigning calm to scare me?" Zhang Pan was unperturbed and laughed heartily.
Lu Ran’s eyes were cold.
He raised three fingers, saying, "Whether it’s to scare you, you’ll soon know. It only takes me three seconds."
Finishing.
He didn’t even give Zhang Pan a chance to react.
And directly started counting down:
"Three."
"Two."
"One!"
...
At the moment the countdown finished, Zhang Pan was still puzzled, trying to respond.
But from the corner of his eye, he saw on his communication device.
His father’s name turned gray.
What?
Gray, there are only two possible reasons: either dead or invisible.
But at this critical moment, why invisibility?
Moreover.
The timing with Lu Ran’s countdown was spot on!
Could he really be dead?
How is that possible!
"No, it’s impossible! My dad went invisible; he couldn’t have been killed by you!" Zhang Pan shouted angrily.
But it was clear; his emotions were on the verge of breaking down.
Lu Ran just looked at him coldly without explaining.
"Impossible, even though my dad’s name turned gray, it’s a coincidence, it’s gotta be a coincidence!" Zhang Pan said, trembling.
Meanwhile, he continually sent messages to Zhang Huaiyang.
But all messages went unanswered.
In broad daylight, as long as someone is alive, they can receive messages; it’s impossible not to reply.
But there was absolutely no response.
This...
At this moment.
The henchmen around Zhang Pan were also dumbfounded.
"No way, really turned gray?"
"Countdown three seconds, and it turned gray? Don’t mess with us."
"Could he really be dead?"
"Damn, to be able to kill Zhang Huaiyang must require incredible methods!"
"Zhang Pan, ask again; see what’s going on."
...
Lu Ran glanced at these people.
He said, "Get lost; if you don’t scram, I’ll kill you all too. I mean what I say. If you don’t believe it, try it."
Saying this calmly.
Zhang Pan’s henchmen scattered immediately, leaving not a single one behind.
Zhang Pan looked at the communication device panel with no response, utterly dumbfounded.
He didn’t even notice when Lu Ran slipped past him and left.
After a brief silence.
He, along with his henchmen, began running back in retreat.
And this time.
His father, Zhang Huaiyang, was lying over the table in the eating position, with his health bar emptied.
