Continue Being a Lone Wolf

Although Ke Qingshan's voice, distorted by voice change, sounded unnatural and stiff, it carried an irresistible allure.

The shadows were cast face-to-face on the screen, but the figures were still not visible, as if waiting for Mu Fan's reply.

"After all that you've said, are you implying that the Mountain Haze Society will also become one of these forces in the future?"

"Wrong. It is at this moment when these corrupt forces are wasting away at each other's lives that we are reborn! Positions are fixed, resources are fixed, out with the old, in with the new. Now, the Mountain Haze Society needs fresh blood like you. If you join, you can make any request you may have. At the same time, you can also use the organization's power to better accomplish what you want to do."

After he finished speaking, silence fell behind the screen.

Clearly, Ke Qingshan was waiting for Mu Fan to speak.

To join, or not to join?

Wealth and power seem to be readily available to the other party.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I've decided not to join." Mu Fan gave his answer after only a moment of silence.

"Why!" The metallic voice carried a question and an indifference.

"I only believe in myself." Mu Fan gazed calmly at the screen and said lightly, "If the Mountain Lord has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave."

"It seems Mr. Mu Fan has made up his mind, so I, Ke, will not force him. This door is only half closed now, and the other half awaits the day when you change your mind. After all... I don't want to be your opponent in the future."

Ke Qingshan's voice was completely calm, as if the two had just met, but his last sentence sounded rather Sen Ran.

Mu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mountain Lord. I will take my leave Mu Fan."

"No need to see me out."

The light behind the screen dimmed and gradually faded into darkness, and Ke Qingshan's shadow disappeared.

Even until the end, Mu Fan never saw Ke Qingshan's true face.

After Mu Fan left, a faint murmur echoed from the deepest part of the room, "You have one last chance..."

Unfortunately, Mu Fan could no longer hear him. He walked out of the room, through the entrance made of piled rocks, and saw Yuan Rui standing upright.

It was obvious that the other party had also seen him.

"Mr. Mu Fan, I'll take you home."

Without saying anything superfluous, it seemed that the mountain lord had just informed this rather old-fashioned young man through some means.

It was the same Hover Car, returning the way it came, moving at high speed, the mottled appearance of buildings and trees constantly flashing in its eyes.

Mu Fan sat quietly in the back seat, the atmosphere inside the car eerily calm.

As they approached Dingchuan Academy, Mu Fan looked ahead and asked, "Is Mr. Yuan Rui a soldier?"

"It used to be," Yuan Rui replied with a smile, then got out of the car and opened the door for Mu Fan.

As Mu Fan stepped out of the car, the sharp and resolute young man bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Yuan Rui watched Mu Fan's figure until it disappeared at the academy entrance before turning back to his car.

The Hover Car quickly disappeared into the traffic.

After Mu Fan's figure disappeared from the other party's sight, Mu Fan looked at the ground and lightly tapped his teeth.

"Black, track that Hover Car, track the two people in it, and monitor all their information."

"The other party has a strong counter-surveillance awareness. They have just entered an underground area without surveillance. We cannot guarantee the effectiveness of tracking them." Hei spoke frankly, clearly indicating that the other party, Yuan Rui, was highly skilled in the field of tracking and counter-tracking.

"It's alright. Help me check the records of Ke Qilian and Ke Qingshan to see if they really exist. The mountain lord just now claimed to be the son of the former First Army Group Commander."

Mu Fan is currently heading towards the library, choosing relatively quiet areas along his route, as he has other plans for later.

"Ke Qilian was a real person, the former First Army Group Commander of the Federation. The relevant files have been sealed, but according to some information circulating on the public internet, it should be related to the political disputes Two Houses of Parliament and the succession of military power. Ke Qilian was secretly sidelined and eventually died in frustration."

"What about Ke Qingshan?" Mu Fan asked.

"No such person found. Ke Qilian's only son, Ke Xingyan, died in battle on the border seven years ago."

call...

Then why did the other party still say that?

"There are also unofficial rumors circulating that Ke Qilian has an illegitimate child, but he has never made an appearance."

As the dark news gradually came together, Mu Fan seemed to see the hidden illegitimate son revealing a hateful gaze in the shadows after the Ke family's decline.

The other party's mindset was definitely not that of someone developing a normal organization; their words carried dissatisfaction with the Federation, making it impossible for Mu Fan to agree to their conditions.

Having joined such an organization shortly after joining the academy, Mu Fan was well aware of his place.

With the presence of darkness, his best option is to continue being a lone wolf!

"Hey, estimate the other person's age."

"It's impossible to estimate. The eldest son, Ke Xingyan, died seven years ago at the age of 32, and there's currently zero information about Ke Qingshan. We just hacked into the Cloud Mist Mountain Villa and discovered that his information wasn't entered either. Should we add Ke Qingshan to the list of monitored keywords?"

"With the addition of the Mountain Haze Society, I have a feeling that their intentions go beyond this," Mu Fan muttered to himself.

After doing all this, Hei asked, "Mu Fan, the room you just went into was blocked by strong electromagnetic interference. I didn't get any information. What exactly did that mountain lord say to you?"

"I was invited to join the Mountain Haze Society, but I declined."

"Good for you to refuse! The commander of the Shadow Fleet would never submit to someone else!" Hei surprisingly agreed with Mu Fan's answer.

What Mu Fan did was exactly what this intelligent life form wanted.

"Yeah, even you think so, I definitely won't join," Mu Fan said with a smile.

"Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'Even I think so'? Don't pets have human rights?"

"Because you're not even human..."

Mu Fan sighed.

Black fell silent instantly, having suffered a second blow from Mu Fan.

"Teasing your loyal intelligent life like this will incite public outrage."

"What public outrage?" Mu Fan glanced at his watch. It was only 3 p. m., and there was still time to proceed with the next part of the plan.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will post all the photos that Li Xiaoxi secretly took of you."

"..." Mu Fan stopped, forcibly suppressing the feeling of oxygen deprivation rising in his chest, and then looked ahead expressionlessly and said, "I take back what I just said."

"Hahaha~ This is another victory for the great intelligent life!" Black's arrogant laughter rang in his ears. Mu Fan gritted his teeth, wanting to switch the headset to silent mode, but thinking about what he was about to do, he held back.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Black, look up the advanced moves for the Soglier Series. Time is of the essence; we need to master as many mech skills as possible before the competition."

Mu Fan looked up at the magnificent library building in front of him; he had arrived at his destination.

Although he had just experienced a virtual battle, which was not a real battle, he could not say that he had mastered the Arc Light Dash.

However, after Mu Fan saw the prototype of the Extreme Soldier in the Nautilus Warehouse, the tension of the upcoming competition immediately overwhelmed him.

The best way to help Wang Nuonuo is to surprise her in the competition.

Thinking of the girl whose eyes crinkled when she smiled, Mu Fan a warmth in his heart.

"What a diligent young man! The search is complete. The advanced techniques of the Soglier Series have seven skills under A-level access."
