The martial artist gasped and said, barely keeping his voice steady, "Have you... Have you brought their heads? We need to verify them."
Lin Dan lifted the bag that she threw casually aside. One could even vaguely see human features underneath the bulging bag and sniff the strong pungent smell of blood. The martial artist who was responsible for receiving her dared not act recklessly. He respectfully received the package and went through all seven severed heads carefully. He was even afraid to make mistakes and asked the branch manager out to verify them.
Other martial artists who were selecting an assignment started crowding around. They were wearing all sorts of expressions – some were skeptical, some were solemn while others were nonchalant.
"This must be a fraud to get the bounty. Someone has done it before. "
"Huh, commit fraud in the World Alliance? She must be asking for death! "
"I think she's the real deal. This woman must be Lin Dan of the Eastern Holy Sect. No one else is capable enough to kill all seven Half-step Grandmasters!"
"Even if it's really her, this is just incredible, I don't believe it. You must know that she has just been promoted to the Half-step Grandmaster. She is still in an unstable state and relatively inexperienced in battles. How is she able to match herself against those veterans?"
While the people were engrossed in the discussion, the branch manager had already finished going through each severed head. He looked at Lin Dan in awe before taking a piece of cloth that was dabbed in a special liquid. He leaped up to the fugitive list and wiped away the names of the first seven fugitives all at once.
"May I know who you are?" Although the branch manager had an idea, he wanted to hear it for himself.
"When can I have the bounty?" Lin Dan asked instead of answering his question.
The branch manager's expression stiffened for a moment.
Bai Yan tried his best not to laugh and said, "Yes, she is Lin Dan. You better give her the bounty soon. "
"Exactly, I still have lots of debt to clear." Lin Dan told him directly.
The branch manager was now baffled. It was the first time he had seen a Half-step Grandmaster that was as poor as her.
Bai Yan could not hold his laughter back anymore and started giggling after turning around.
Lin Dan did not look at him. She walked to the wanted list and thought about her subsequent assignments. The other martial artists who knew her true identity no longer underestimated her. When she took a step forward, the others took a step back and kept three feet away from her. It created a space between them as they looked at her in awe.
Another martial artist leaped to the experts' list and exchanged Lin Dan's tag with the First Elder of Lianyun City. He wrote beside her name, "Possibly promoted to the Grandmaster."
Once he had done writing, the onlookers gasped. Initially, they were only three feet apart, but they backed off even more, for fear of upsetting Lin Dan. A Grandmaster! And still alive! It was someone they had never had a chance to see in this life! Who would have thought that there was a Grandmaster who did not stay in her own sect or city but came out to eliminate the wicked? She was right here with the ordinary people!
For some reason, the onlookers who were still in awe felt that Lin Dan was more approachable than they thought. Grandmasters were the most powerful beings in the land of the East Tang. They controlled an entire city or even a country but none of them were willing to understand the suffering of the people, not to mention personally eliminate the wicked. They were figures that were unreachable and who despised ordinary people. Yet, this expressionless lady was looking at the wanted list with a pair of curious and child-like eyes.
