The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 62 Thoughts

In the imperial palace, the Emperor was pacing back and forth. What he had done today was a mistake. Now that Lin Tianjiao had returned to the Lin Family and not the Cloud Palace, the situation was bad. Others didn’t know, but Muting Wayne did. Lin Tianjiao was only his wife in name all these years, but they did not do anything actual. The reason she hadn’t returned this time was because she had broken up with him. It was just that they hadn’t made it public.

Why? It was because he underestimated the Lin Family and thought that they didn't have the strength they had before. Today, he stood on the side of the Empress Zhou. Who was Lin Tianjiao? What he did completely angered her. Waiting for her to come back? It was impossible. Even if he abandoned his pride to pick her up, it might not work.

"An Long." Muting Wayne shouted towards the darkness.

"What orders does Your Majesty have?" A middle aged man wearing a gray robe walked out from the shadows.

"Go and check on the Lin Family! Report back to me if there are any movements from the Zhou Family. Be careful not to alarm them," Muting Wayne ordered.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Muting Wayne massaged his forehead as he mumbled, "What troubled times. Why did the Lin Family’s loser suddenly rise to power?"

"Your Majesty, the guards at the gate of the Lin Family are elites of Golden Army, and there are eight of them. The Zhou Family hasn't taken any action yet," said An Long.

"Did I overstep my boundaries today, An Long?" Muting Wayne asked him.

“The world belongs to you, Your Majesty can do no wrong.” An Long bowed.

"So what if I'm wrong? You're right, the world belongs to me. If I ask them to die, they have to die. I'd like to see what kind of storm the Lin Family can cause," Muting Wayne said gloomily.

“Your Majesty, even though this is the truth, the Lin Family’s strength can’t be underestimated. Even if you capture the Lin Family, the empire will suffer heavy losses,” said An Long in a low voice.

"I'm not that impulsive! We still need the Lin Family to fight for Garnett Kingdom, haha," said Muting Wayne with a sinister smile.

"Your Majesty is brilliant." An Long bowed and said.

As soon as Lin Tianjiao and Lin Feng returned to the General Manor, the Lin Family took action. The General Manor began to be on high alert. There were Golden Army secretly patrolling the streets. Not only the elites of the Golden Army were on duty, but also shadow guards were secretly mixed in.

The important members of the Lin Family were gathered in the main hall.

The captains of the Golden Army, the commanders of the Shadow Guards, and the other leaders were lined up according to order in the hall. There were three chairs in the center.

Lin Feng stood on Lin Tianjiao’s side, and Yun Yi stood on her other side.

“Feng’er, have a seat.” Lin Tianjiao pointed at the tiger fur chair in the middle.

“I wouldn’t dare. Aunt, please have a seat,” Lin Feng bowed.

“Why wouldn’t you dare? You took the Valiant Tigers’ token and you’ll be the head of the Lin Family. A good man dares to do what he wants, sit on it!” Lin Tianjiao said loudly.

Lin Feng glanced at his aunt, walked to the middle, pulled the front hem of his robe and sat down.

Lin Tianjiao gestured to Yun Yi, and the two of them sat down.

“Feng’er, I am a woman. The Lin Family needs you. What do you think of today’s matter? What do you think of the future paths?” asked Lin Tianjiao.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng asked Lin Tianjiao seriously, "Can I really make the decision?"

“Yes. Ever since you got the Valiant Tigers’ token, the Lin Family will be under your command even if it fails,” said Lin Tianjiao.

“Very well. Since that is the case, let me share my thoughts.” After speaking, Lin Feng stood up.

He took a step forward and said, "In the past, the Lin Family played a decisive role in the empire. Why? Merit? Hehe. Merit is only part of it. The main thing is strength. Why did the emperor remove the privilege of the Valiant Tigers' token today? Because the Lin Family no longer has the strength to enjoy the privilege!"

“Well said. Straight to the point.” Yun Yi clapped his hands.

“The ones seated here today are all my trusted aides. I will not beat around the bush. If we want to establish ourselves in the empire, what we need is strength. We may not mean harm, but others will. The family’s fate is in our hands, not theirs. A single word from them and we will be nothing. We will be slaughtered at their whim.” After speaking, Lin Feng worriedly looked towards the surroundings.

Why? Because in this era of the monarch, Lin Feng’s words were rebellious. In this era, loyalty and devotion to the monarch were emphasized.

“It might be disgraceful, but it’s reasonable. What do you think?” Lin Tianjiao asked the people below.

“The old general and the great general have sacrificed their lives for the country, but now the emperor is attacking us. It’s really disappointing. Everything we have was given by the Lin Family. Without the Lin Family, we would still be working hard for food and drink. In the future, we will obey the orders of the chief.” The commander of the Golden Army, Lin Ke, said.

Lin Ke was an orphan in the war and had been rescued by Lin Tianhe. Lin Tianhe had taught him martial arts and he was very loyal to the Lin Family.

“The same goes for the shadow guards.” The metal mask wearing shadow guard commander spoke with a hoarse voice.

“Alright. For the time being, we will maintain the status quo as we deal with any changes. The most important thing is to develop our strength. The Emperor should not make any moves. Of course, if he is not stupid.” Lin Feng said.

“Mm, Feng’er is right. We won’t make any moves for the time being. Although we are not at our peak, we aren’t a force to be trifled with. Brother Ke, Uncle Tie, the two of you will work together to increase the security of the General Manor. Uncle Yun, do you have any other opinions?” Lin Tianjiao asked.

“Ahh, if big brother and Zhen’nan could be as decisive as Feng’er, they would not have ended up like this,” Yun Yi said with deep emotion.

“Alright, all of you can leave now.” Lin Tianjiao said gloomily.

Only Lin Tianjiao and Yun Yi were left in the hall. Lin Feng looked at Lin Tianjiao and asked after thinking for a while, “Aunt, are you not going to return to the palace? Will you be in a difficult position if I do this? After all, you are a part of the Wayne Family.”

“Feng’er, you’re overthinking it. There’s no harm in me telling you some things. In the past, the Emperor and I only had a name, but from today on, we had not relationship and no names.” Lin Tianjiao shook her head.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he said, “That’s good. I do not wish to make things difficult for you. It is not time for us to shed all pretenses yet. It is better for us to keep a low profile. As long as they do not cross the line, we will act peaceful now. The war with Garnett Kingdom will be the time for me to emerge.”

“Do you have the confidence to be the champion of your grade?” Lin Tianjiao asked in surprise. Lin Feng had won today, but don’t forget that Divine Academy’s experts would be participating in the following competition.

“Aunt, please rest assured, I will.” Lin Feng nodded.

“Hurry up and cultivate,” said Lin Tianjiao earnestly.

"Aunt, rest early. Find me at the academy if anything happens," Lin Feng said.

“Mm! Didn’t you say you weren’t going to train at school for now? It’s dangerous for you to go out now,” said Lin Tianjiao.

“It’s fine, you have returned to General Manor. If I don’t go to the academy, then the situation will clearly turn wrong and public opinion will not be good. I will still go to the academy to cultivate.” Said Lin Feng.

“You’re right, but you need to be careful,” said Lin Tianjiao.

Pausing in his tracks, Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, “Aunt, remember, when training the family’s army, you must instill the beliefs into them. The first priority of the Lin Family’s army is to be loyal to the Lin Family. Our orders are above all else. This is because we had given them what they had now. Also, I hope that tomorrow, regardless of what kind of edict comes from the Imperial Palace, you will not return.”

“Alright, just take care of yourself,” said Lin Tianjiao.

Watching Lin Feng leave, Lin Tianjiao nodded to herself. Lin Feng’s current actions were just too strange, too mature, and he was able to see things clearly. Was he still that submissive nephew of hers? But this was also good, at least he wouldn’t suffer any losses. Wasn’t her father and big brother living examples?

Look at Prime Minister Zhou? And Venus Magnus? Compared with her father and elder brother, they were nothing. However, they were in the same high and powerful position.

A cold breeze blew by at night. Lin Feng’s mind was extremely clear, and a weight fell off his shoulders. He wasn’t afraid of fighting against the Zhou family, the Magnus family, or even the Imperial Family. Why should he be afraid? He was afraid of something happening within the Lin Family. It would be very difficult for a large power to collapse, but once there were internal differences, it wouldn’t be long. Today, he had clearly expressed his thoughts and obtained the approval of the Lin Family. The future path wouldn’t be difficult.

Another concern was dispelled. Lin Feng was initially worried about his aunt's relationship with the royal family and could not accept his thoughts for a while. After all, his aunt had married into the royal family. Now it seemed that in his aunt's heart, that relationship was bullshit, and the future of the Lin Family was above everything else.

When Lin Feng entered the academy, he ran into Old Gary.

“Aren’t you going to hole up in your home? How dare you come to the academy?” Old Gary laughed.

“Hole up? What a nasty way of putting it. If I were in War Tiger Academy, wouldn’t you protect me?” Lin Feng teased Old Gary.

"Your grandfather and father are basically idiots. Fortunately, you're not. I will tolerate you. As long as you stay at War Tiger Academy, I'll protect you. Now, get out of here." After that, Old Gary snorted and left.

Lin Feng mumbled to himself as he returned to his residence, “Sh*t, to think that he had the same thoughts as me, if Lin Feng’s grandfather and father weren’t idiots, they wouldn’t have died easily and pushed the Lin Family to such a sorry state. Cultivation? I’ve already obtained the rank of a young general and have real power, why the hell would I worry.”

After taking a shower, Lin Feng changed his clothes and went to Nalan Yunjie's residence.

What happened today made Nalan Yunjie worry. The Lin Family and Lin Feng had reached the forefront, and she needed to talk to her father. While Nalan Yunjie was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
