The Eve (3)

The two had entered a much smaller room, where only Wayne and Mu Fan were present. When the double-layered airlock doors closed, they completely blocked out external sounds.

"This room is extraordinary; it completely blocks the signal. If I hadn't taken up residence in your Sky Communicator in advance, the headset would be unusable now," Black said in amazement.

"This room has the highest level of security in this manor." The Family Head of the Fowen Conglomerate gestured and led Mu Fan to a seat. Then, he bowed to Mu Fan Mu Fan, who quickly stood up again.

Please let me know.

"Gedio Bar, New Guard Society, Wen Family, six safe locations in this district, June 2nd..." Mu Fan slowly uttered a few key words.

Wayne was suddenly startled.

When the two reappeared in the VIP room ten minutes later, Gao Lingsen was already impatient. If Sherry hadn't been comforting her father, he probably would have gotten up and left long ago.

So when he saw Wayne appear, Gao Lingsen stood up immediately. "I'm really not interested in playing house with you guys. I'm leaving now, right now!" As he spoke, he tried to drag Sherry away.

Wayne then forcefully waved his right hand, his tone resolute, "Issue the Family Head Order! Tonight, the entire Fuwen Family is under complete lockdown. The manor is on high alert for 24 hours! I will give everyone an explanation afterward."

"Another explanation!" Gao Lingsen was truly enraged, slamming his fist on the table. "I'm not from your family, what can you do to me?!"

Wayne pressed the alarm bell directly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "Guards! Please have the two distinguished guests rest in VIP rooms 1 and 2."

A group of fully armed security personnel entered, standing in an arc with guns on their hands, surrounding Gao Lingsen and his daughter.

"Wayne! Have you thought about the consequences of offending the Gaoling Family?!" Gao Lingsen stopped resisting, but his eyes were extremely gloomy as he looked at Wayne with pity.

"I've made up my mind, please!" Wayne then said gently to Sherry, whose eyes were filled with fear, "Sherry, stay here for a day, I won't hurt you."

"Hmph!" Gao Lingsen dragged the delicate-looking Sherry out of the VIP room, surrounded by armed guards.

Even the fat man didn't know what had happened in the past ten minutes. Seeing the angry looks in the eyes of the five elders, Wayne didn't give any explanation. Instead, he kept issuing orders without any hesitation, from counting the number of servants to arranging the areas for the family members tomorrow.

He, Wayne, is the current Family Head of the Luoqie Star Fuwen Conglomerate, a self-made legend in the business world! Here, he has no responsibility to anyone!

The fat man's eyes lit up. This was his father! When the family faced a crisis, he saw his father's domineering and decisive side for the first time, and he was deeply moved.

"Harry, take Mu Fan to Room 3, the VIP room, and then you follow Mu Fan's instructions!"

Mu Fan patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Harry, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, I'll tell you in detail later."

The fat man gritted his teeth, and perhaps influenced by his father, nodded vigorously and took the lead in walking out, displaying a heroic air of going to one's death.

Mu Fan looked at the fat man's righteous expression, shook his head with amusement, and followed him.

The two quickly arrived at their rest room. The Fuwen Family manor only had five deluxe rooms, reserved for the highest-ranking VIPs. Each room was approximately 200 square meters, complete with a garden balcony, steam therapy room, private cinema, and more. However, before Mu Fan could even sit down, the fat man grabbed his arm.

"Mu Fan, what were you and my dad talking about just now?"

"I've tracked down the hideout of the group that withdrew from your house and obtained information. It's basically certain that the space pirates will launch an air raid tomorrow, and there are people within the government involved. So, Wayne gave the order immediately after receiving the information."

Mu Fan saw the beige bed in the bedroom, leaped up, bounced a couple of times, and then lay down comfortably. Looking at the ceiling, he continued, "There are six safe spots in District 2. I checked the map, and the closest one to your villa is Westwood Street No. 45, which is three streets away. By the way, don't ask me how I know."

"Lu Yun Restaurant!" The fat man stroked his chin, directly picking up where Mu Fan. "It's owned by the family of Hua De, the second-in-command of the military Logistics Department! His son and I get along fairly well, well, mainly because we both like to eat there." He shrank back a little, a bit embarrassed, before finishing the last sentence. He hadn't even considered the last part; ever since he met Mu Fan, the fat man felt like Lady Luck had been dancing in front of him.

Mu Fan decisively said, "It's better than I expected. If, I mean, you need to evacuate to a safe location tomorrow, then choose that one."

The fat man nodded miserably, then suddenly sensed something was wrong and asked Mu Fan, who was lying there, "And what about you?"

"Me?" Mu Fan answered comfortably with his eyes closed. "How could I miss out on such an opportunity? I still need to make this first deal a success. I'll stay with you tomorrow, and if anything happens, I'll act as long as your safety is guaranteed."

The fat guy's heart was pounding. "Brother, this isn't playing a game, it's playing with your life! Your mentality makes me feel like I'm in a mental hospital!"

Mu Fan opened his eyes and saw the fat man's lifeless expression. He laughed, which lightened the atmosphere considerably. "Harry, I still want to go to school with you on Landu Star. Even if it's the lowest-level D-class academy, I want to go."

The fat man couldn't understand Mu Fan's thinking at all. "Why do you want to go to school so much? I heard that the instructors scold you every day, which is terrifying. I think your qualifications are good enough for enlisting in the army. The army has very good benefits."

Mu Fan's eyes sparkled, filled with anticipation, showing no trace of the tension that awaited him in the coming turmoil. He murmured, "You know, Harry... before this, I had never been to school, I had always lived alone, I had never met my parents, I had never had a full stomach, I had never left District 22..."

The fat man actually saw something called a dream in Mu Fan's longing eyes.

"And now, I've arrived at the other side of the planet. I have the chance to avenge my adoptive parents. If I can get revenge, I'll have no more attachment to Luoqie Star. Next, I'm going to make those scenes that only exist in my dreams come true one by one." Mu Fan withdrew his gaze, saw the fat man staring at him, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry you had to see that."

The fat man opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Only then did he realize the most direct comparison between himself and Mu Fan. He envied Mu Fan's skills, but he had never experienced anything a normal teenager should have, not even one percent of it.

Today, Harry's casual question unexpectedly evoked the deepest resonance within him, yet Mu Fan also felt a sense of relief and comfort after venting.

In Training Base 341 on PO Battle Network, Black didn't speak, but simply broadcasted Mu Fan's voice. The Fighter stood quietly to the side for a long time, his tone carrying a deeply hidden nostalgia and reminiscence, "I vaguely... see... myself from back then."

On the night of June 1st, Fatty Harry was quietly counting sheep next door, while Mu Fan looked up at the ceiling and slowly drifted off to sleep.
