With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1387: Seeing the products

Chapter 1387: Seeing the products

“Yes, I’m currently single.” Lin Fan said in the end.

This wasn’t the truth, but it was the truth for the identity that had been arranged for him.

As such, he had no choice but to say this.

It was just a good thing that there was no one around to hear this or else there was no doubt that this would have made its way to Haku eventually.

When they heard this, the eyes of the Highoaks lit up. However, they knew how to control their emotions and quickly calmed themselves.

It wasn’t hard for Lin Fan to guess what their next words would be, but he stopped them before they could say anything.

“I think that I’m here to see some samples. Can you please guide me to them?”

There was a trace of disappointment that appeared in their eyes when they heard this, but that also quickly disappeared.

In fact, the professionalism that these people had really was something else as Daniel said, “Eliza, that’s enough of that. You can leave now.”

Eliza didn’t mind the way that her husband talked to her at all and left the room after a simple farewell.

Once she was gone, Daniel said with a friendly smile, “I’m sorry about that. Sometimes she gets a bit too excited and forgets herself. I hope that you don’t mind her.”

Lin Fan was a bit taken aback since he didn’t expect Daniel to say something like this about his own wife. But it was clear that these people only cared about profits like merchants, which was why there was no hesitation in his voice when he said this.

It seemed that he had to brace himself once more to deal with these people.

After taking a few seconds to calm himself, Lin Fan said, “I don’t mind this at all. Rather, I’m just hoping that I can see the products as soon as possible.”

As soon as he heard this, Daniel stood up with the same smile on his face as if he didn’t mind how Lin Fan was pushing things forward.

Gesturing with one hand, he said, “Then shall we go and have a look?”

Lin Fan stood up and followed with a simple nod.

Though his attitude seemed positive, it actually took them a while to reach the workshop where the products were. Along the way, it seemed like Daniel was very interested in explaining all of the different paintings that were hung up in the corridor.

Lin Fan would have rushed him, but he didn’t want to seem impatient.

However, the fact that these paintings that he was talking about was related to the past of the Highoak Family did have a sway on this.

It was his task to learn more about the Highoak Family, so any information that he could get was useful information.

Only when he arrived at the workshop, it became quite obvious why they had been stalling the entire time.

There was an acquaintance that he hadn’t seen yet on this trip to the Highoak Family Manor.

The way that she was acting was as if she was just working a normal job, but the clothes that she was wearing told a completely different story. It was obvious what she was doing here.

Once she saw them open the door, there was a wide smile that appeared on her face as she came over to greet Lin Fan.

Of course this person was Penelope Highoak who had shown interest in Lin Fan previously.

It seemed that the Highoak Family really didn’t miss a single beat.

As long as there was an opportunity for them to gain something, they would do all that they could to seize that opportunity.

Lin Fan just humoured her a bit before saying, “So, where are the products that you were planning on showing me.”

The smile on Penelope’s face twitched for a second, but she was still able to keep that smile on her face in the end.

The way that she looked at Lin Fan was as if she was wondering if there was something wrong with him.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t pretty, it was just that compared to certain other girls in Lin Fan’s life, she just couldn’t compare. At the same time, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan was here to pick up girls.

So in the end, Daniel came forward and sent Penelope back with a look before gesturing towards a door in front of them, “Sir Ralot, please come this way. We store our finished products here.”

Lin Fan just gave a nod before following Daniel.

The others remained behind since they could see that the family head wanted to talk to the guest alone.

Though as they were heading towards that door, Lin Fan could hear a few whispers behind him. They thought that they were being silent, but they just couldn’t escape Lin Fan’s sharp hearing.

“Is there something wrong with him? I’ve already done everything that I can to seduce him.”

“It’s because you’re not charming enough, do you not even get that?”

Of course, Lin Fan would never say this out loud.

After they entered the room, Lin Fan’s attention was completely taken by what was in front of him.

The moment that he entered the room, he immediately felt the same sensation that he had felt at the gate.

It was clear that all of these arrays in this room were made of the same special technique. That meant that there was a better chance of him discovering what the special technique was.

At the same time, it meant that he would be able to finally use his greatest asset to help him.

Though there was a part of him that was worried that something unexpected would happen. After all, they were the remnants of the Dao Sect and there was no telling what kind of special things had been passed down.

In the end, it seemed that there was no need for him to be worried as there was nothing special placed in this room.

The only problem was that his Appraisal Eyes weren’t able to find anything either.

The only thing that his Appraisal Eyes gave him was that these were nothing more than normal arrays. In fact, the description told him that they were the same as the arrays that he had seen before from the Laver Empire.

From what his Appraisal Eyes could see, it really didn’t seem like there was anything special about this array.

It was just that Lin Fan knew that this wasn’t the case since he could feel the sensation that came from it. That sensation alone told him that this array was indeed something special.

Seeing that he was silent the entire time, Daniel couldn’t help asking, “Is something wrong?”

Lin Fan snapped back from his thoughts when he heard this before looking up at him with a smile and saying, “It’s just that I’ve never seen arrays like this before, so I couldn’t help being caught up in them.”

A smile appeared on Daniel’s face when he heard this before he said in a proud voice, “Our Highoak Family prides ourselves on our arrays. If there wasn’t something special about them, then how could we take pride in them?”

Then changing his tone, he said, “I’m sure that we’ll satisfy whatever needs Sir Ralot has.”

There was a certain implication in his voice that Lin Fan didn’t miss.

Lin Fan didn’t answer right away when he heard this and instead just calmly looked at Daniel.

Seeing this, Daniel just looked right back at Lin Fan with a calm smile on his face as if he wasn’t bothered by this at all. At the same time, there was a confident look in his eyes as if he was saying that he could handle anything that was thrown at him.

After a long silence, Lin Fan finally said, “I do have some things that I can use your help with.”

A wide smile appeared on Daniel’s face before he said, “We will do our best not to disappoint.”

The way that he replied was as if he was just waiting for Lin Fan to make the first move.

This was his way of maintaining the edge in negotiations since he would have the initiative from letting Lin Fan make a move first.

Lin Fan knew what he was doing, which was why he didn’t say what it was that he needed.

Though it wasn’t as if it was a problem to let this initiative go.

In the first place, the plan was to make a deal with the Highoaks and then use that as a chance to investigate the Highoak Family. So it really didn’t matter how the negotiations went since it wasn’t as if there would be an actual deal.

It was just that Lin Fan had hoped that he would have been able to figure something out with his powers before that came to pass.

Still, he had to play his role properly.

After going back and forth like this for a bit, Lin Fan finally said, “There are a few arrays that I need from you. I wonder if I can consult with you on how viable it would be to create these arrays for me.”

Daniel’s smile widened when he heard this before he said, “Of course, it is our Highoak Family’s honour to serve.”

As soon as he said this, he went over to one of the tables and took out some pen and paper before saying, “Please tell me what kind of things you need from us.”

The Highoaks really were an established merchant family with how they acted.
