Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Situation
Editor: Noodletown Translations
“””
Except for Conroe, no one knew what Mu Fan said, but those around could see him half-crouched on the ground in a humiliating posture, his face full of pain and fear. This was because Conroe finally rembered a rumor that Wen Zheming had been injured a while ago. The details were unclear, but perhaps it was related to this frightening young man before him. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shiver.
No one knew what Mu Fan whispered in Conroe’s ear, but everyone knew Conroe had really hit a wall this ti. Seeing the young man pinning both Conroe and an adult bodyguard, people quickly realized that this teenager in a tailor’s shop uniform was definitely not soone to be trifled with.
“What a pathetic existence! Lord Black had such high expectations.” Black’s voice resonated in Mu Fan’s ear with a tone of disappointnt. Mu Fan couldn’t be bothered with him.
At this point, Mu Fan released his hands, letting them naturally hang by his sides. Conroe and the bodyguard quickly withdrew their almost-numb arms, gritting their teeth as they rubbed them back and forth.
Conroe’s face turned from pale and cold to a sickly flush. He let out a low growl and left the hall, supported by a small group of people, taking a deep look back as if he wanted to etch Mu Fan deeply into his mory.
The minor upheaval ended just like that. The fat brother was excitedly stamring, while Shelly stared at the boy before her with wide eyes full of curiosity. Was he really that strong, and yet so down and out?
Several of Fat Brother’s classmates put away their underestimation. To think this guy had such a formidable friend! Conroe suffering such humiliation would definitely seek revenge; this was going to be quite a show.
Looking around, Mu Fan softly asked, “I’m just here for a al, can everyone disperse a bit?”
The crowd naturally dispersed. After an incident like this, lingering to watch was not a good decision, especially considering Conroe might return with repercussions. Moreover, this young man was downright scary, dressed in plain clothes playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Seeing that people were no longer watching, Mu Fan then faced Shelly, dressed in a white gown, patting the back of his head and smiling, “Thanks for standing up for
at lunch, I really didn’t have any money.”
Fat Brother quickly slapped his thigh, rushed forward, and pulled Mu Fan to the side, asking in a low voice, “You’ve t my cousin before!? ”
“She’s your cousin!?” Mu Fan was shocked, glancing back and forth, comparing them. Her figure and appearance didn’t match what he expected at all.
“What are you thinking?” Seeing Mu Fan’s expression, Fat Brother imdiately knew what he was thinking, slapped his arm and said, “She’s my distant cousin, just ca from Blue Capital Star, the administrative planet of the fourth district.”
Mu Fan understood the first half and reluctantly accepted that this pleasant-speaking, good-looking girl was indeed Fat Brother’s relative.
“Then why are you wearing tailor shop clothes?” Shelly’s curiosity was piqued beside them. Ignoring Fat Brother’s actions, her gentle voice made Mu Fan turn his head.
Right, didn’t I ask the butler to tell you the clothes were ready? Fat Brother also wanted to ask.
“Hmm, these clothes are indeed nice, quite comfortable, so I didn’t bother changing into the ones prepared here.” Mu Fan replied, leaving Fat Brother speechless at his earlier grumblings.
Shelly nodded, understanding the situation. The boy’s appearance here was indeed just a coincidence, and her investigation revealed he had no friends. Her cousin actually made such a civilian friend, and he seed quite unusual.
But that was probably all there was to it. With her curiosity satisfied, Shelly nodded politely to Mu Fan and then, content, told Fat Brother, “Cousin, you two chat well; I’m going over there to talk with my friends.” Her graceful figure gradually disappeared with elegant steps.
Go ahead, go ahead. Fat Brother waved his hand, as Mu Fan could tell that these two didn’t get along well.
After Shelly left, Fat Brother seized Mu Fan and broke away from the crowd, walking out of the banquet hall and standing before a wall by the exit. Fat Brother asked, “Why didn’t you notify
you were coming?”
Mu Fan rubbed his nose, “I did think of informing you at first, but once I ca in, I saw your family’s pastries, and, um… sorry, hehe, they were really delicious. It’s the first ti I’ve tasted sothing so good.”
His palm slapped his own cheek, and Fat Brother’s muffled, helpless voice ca through, “You foodie! Do you know who you’ve offended today?”
“I told you I don’t know. Oh, then soone beside
seed to say it was the son of the minister of finance. Ah, I hope I didn’t cause you trouble?” Mu Fan thought for a mont, suddenly replying with so tension.
Moving his hand away, seeing Mu Fan’s face without any other expression, Fat Brother took a long breath as he stared at the lights below the manor, “His na is Conroe, the boss of our class. I’m always scared when I see him. It’s okay; family won’t interfere in troubles among peers. Today, I really need to thank you. You know, it’s the first ti I’ve felt the reassurance of having you as a backup! When you pinned Conroe, I didn’t feel the slightest fear.”
After saying this, Fat Brother curiously stared at Mu Fan, “I say we haven’t known each other long, so how co you seem like a different person now? Even with the sa martial arts hall training, the gap is that wide?”
“That’s because Lord Black exists!” Mu Fan, you and your friend move five ters to the right; there is a monitor I can see. It’s not fun to just listen to your conversation when there’s a chance to talk about Lord Black’s factors.” Black’s shaless words imdiately rang out but were automatically filtered out by Mu Fan.
“I just want to see the world outside Loga Star.” Mu Fan clasped his hands behind his head, leaning against the wall, looking up at the sky. The environnt here was way better than the 22nd district, clearly seeing the starry sky. Since Black ca into his life, he clearly felt the change in his life’s path.
“It’s soon. My old man is now negotiating business with my cheap cousin’s father. Maybe he’ll talk to you later. Firstly, to thank you and secondly, probably to ask about the situation we encountered back then.” Fat Brother, imitating Mu Fan, looked at the sky, feeling inexplicably better.
“Right, Harry, before I ca, I got a piece of news. I need to let you know, so you can prepare as soon as possible; there may be so situation tomorrow.” Mu Fan suddenly rembered the words Black said earlier, so he seriously told Fat Brother.
“What news?”
“It should be related to the Star Thief; I can’t be certain. You’d better notify your father to prepare.” Mu Fan chose his words carefully, sharing Black’s speculation with Fat Brother.
“What! ~” Fat Brother almost jumped in shock. Are you kidding? Everything’s so festive, and a Star Thief’s supposed to co tomorrow? Recently, he hasn’t even had the mind to play Battle Net.
“I need to quickly tell Dad, go, let’s not delay. Fat brother’s heart is pounding with fright now.” Not willing to waste a second, Fat Brother pulled Mu Fan along, and while talking, “If we’re really safe this ti, I’ll convince Dad no matter what to give you a chance. Even if we can’t get into the sa school, we should still be on the sa planet.”
As Mu Fan was being pulled to his feet, he paused for a mont, causing Fat Brother to stop too, who imdiately complained, “What is it, suddenly stopping now?”
Mu Fan suddenly stopped because Black suddenly said sothing in his ear.
“Interesting, Mu Fan, it seems Lord Black has discovered several intruder bugs in the manor, and now they’re retreating in an orderly fashion. Oh, it looks like they’ve discovered sothing incredible. How about it, interested in taking a look?”
Could it be that the situation in Fat Brother’s manor was related to part of Black’s previous speculation? Black’s reaction suggested that mysterious line was becoming clearer?
No ti to lose!
So Mu Fan turned to Fat Brother and said, “You go ahead; it seems there are so issues here, I’ll go check it out, don’t worry about .”
What? Fat Brother’s place is targeted too?
There was no ti to worry about how Mu Fan discovered anything like this. Fat Brother hurriedly prepared to return to the hall.
After Fat Brother left, Mu Fan took a deep breath and his breathing gradually harmonized, making his entire presence vague.
Dark Breath! It erged naturally.
With silent steps, his seemingly harmonious missteps allowed Mu Fan to quietly leave through the vision blind spots of all guards.
“Your skills are far below that old Fighter’s! I’ve blocked all monitors for you now. Move southeast. After vaulting over two walls, stop for three seconds, then run ten ters at full speed and turn right.” Black first humiliated him thoroughly, then endlessly refreshed route instructions for Mu Fan from a Heavenly Eye-like perspective.
The pursuit began!
