The Forbidden Flame

Chapter 17

Lin Fan was currently standing in front of a ripped man, standing at least 2 meters tall, his muscles big enough to be counted as quite suspicious, As if he was on steroids.

"Big Jie, I want you to take this boy here and register him, and get him to join a Greenhorn Course, the b.l.o.o.d.y one of course, I don"t want people saying I am recruiting sissies."

"Haha, Young Master Song, no one would dare say so. Naturally, anyone one you have recruited must have been a dragon amongst men."

"Enough with the sucking up, he"s probably just a salted fish[1],"

"Hey! Who are you calling a salted fish," Lin Fan fumed disapprovingly in his mind.

Big Jie embarra.s.singly looked at Shi Song while rubbing his hands together, appearing quite nervous.

"Alright, you can go now. I have things to attend to."

"As you command, Master Shi. If you need any thing, just give me a call and I"ll be there,"

Shi Song nodded and left without saying a word.

Lin Fan looked at Big J, with a moment of silence wefting between them, until Big J finally broke the silence, "What is your name, boy?"

"It"s Lin Fan, sir"

"Alright Lil"Fan, welcome to the Astral a.s.sociation, you can ask me anything on our way,"

"Then..Thanks in advance mister Jie,"

"It"s noting, Let"s go register you then," Big Jie started walking with large strides, as if in a hurry to finish this "troublesome" task.

"Mister Jie…who is Shi Song really?"

"What? You don"t know?"

"I know nothing, He isn"t that talkative after all,"

"Well, let me explain then. Most importantly, Shi Song is one of the Royal Family. The son of our president,"

Lin Fan was quite shocked as well as confused hearing this. "If he is a big shot, why is he still doing tasks as If he is any Joe?"

"That"s because the president didn"t want him to be raised with a full silver spoon, partial is better, else, he would turn into a good for nothing Young Master, and as a result, disgrace the name of the Royal Family and bring harm to himself as well,"

Lin Fan nodded in understanding as this made sense.

They neared a reception full of people, there was a desk in the middle with a young girl standing behind it and a guy was standing in front of the desk talking to the girl.

What caught Lin Fan"s eye as well was a floating orb that was positioned on a pillar behind the girl. It glowed with a faint blue light looking mystical.

A conversation between the clerk and the man could be heard.

"What about having dinner together tonight, babe, I"ll get you your favorite, roasted chicken,"

"I told you not to call me babe at work!"

"Hmmm…why is that?"

"I need to keep my professionalism in check!"

"What professionalism, anyone who sees my girl"s sweet and lovely face will instantly have a good impression of her"


The girl face turned red from embarra.s.sment and she lightly hit the guy"s shoulder. "Stop that honey mouth of yours"

"Need a tast-"

"Alright w.a.n.g Lui, hate to brake it to ya but I have something on hand here that I need Lili for,"

"Hey old man, can"t you see me flirting with my girlfriend here? Don"t be such a busybody,"

"If an official saw you hindering work here, you will be in trouble. And I am not an old man, I am 34 this year, thank you very much,"

"What ever, still old. Who is this guy with you?" asked w.a.n.g Lui while sizing up Lin Fan.

"This is Lin Fan, a new recruit, a recommendation by Shi Song," answered Big Jie with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

Lin Fan as someone recommended by Shi Song himself, will naturally be given a lot of face by a number of people, although Shi Song is not omnipotent in the a.s.sociation, he still has his own influence.

w.a.n.g Lui looked at Lin Fan for a bit, sizing him up and then he nodded and didn"t bother with him again, giving face doesn"t mean giving attention, attention had to be earned.

Lili was more amiable however, smiling at Lin Fan and greeting him, "h.e.l.lo Lin Fan, It"s nice getting to know you,"

Lin Fan responded quickly, "Like wise, Lili"

Big Jie didn"t bother talking with w.a.n.g Lui anymore and asked, "Lili, can you hand me a registration form?"

Lili quickly opened a wooden drawer in the desk and grabbed a registration form before handing it to Big Jie.

"Aright Lil"Fan, fill this up, I guess you can at least do this much, can"t ya?"

Lin Fan nodded while taking the registration form from his hand.

After filling the form.

"Now, I want you take this needle and p.r.i.c.k your finger,"

Lin Fan did as told and some blood started flowing from his finger.

"Then place your finger on the lower right side of the paper,"

As a fingerprint appeared on the paper, it glowed lightly for a bit before stopping.

"Alright Lili, your turn," said Big Jie while handing Lili the paper.

After taking the form, Lili suddenly closed her eyes and when she opened them her pupils surprisingly turned light blue.

The form abrubtly exploded into a fragments of blue light before heading into the floating orb and getting absorbed.

Big Jie sighed and exclaimed, "I still think it"s amazing every time I see it,"

"Lili, I want you to put Lin Fan in the Greenhorn course, a.s.sisted Execution,"

Lin Fan thought he had heard incorrectly, "a.s.sisted Execution? What the h.e.l.l? What type of course is that?!"

Lili looked with pity at Lin Fan while saying, "Steel your heart Brother Lin," her brows knitting in worry.

w.a.n.g Lui gazed at Lin Fan and said, "You are in for some hard stuff, fella"

"Hard stuff?"
