Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Great-Niece, Stop Seducing Me

"Are you even a man anymore, hesitating like this? Have you lost all your spirit? Are you going to just stand by and watch your own people get slaughtered by those beasts?"

Lin Fan’s refusal made Xu Zhi Rou burn with anger.

Wasn’t he supposed to be different from other men?

Now he had turned into a scared turtle.

"Don’t try to morally blackmail me. This isn’t standing by idly, nor is it being cold-hearted, it’s using our brains!"

Lin Fan looked at the seemingly gentle and quiet Xu Zhi Rou.

This girl really had a fiery temper.

"As long as we are not caught or killed, the people from Jiujui Sect won’t easily slaughter prisoners. They’re beasts, but definitely not fools. We are far from their mainland, closer to our own forces. If they get surrounded, these prisoners are their bargaining chips. Most importantly, having prisoners means even if our forces spot them, they can’t use heavy fire—they have a chance to turn the tables. So rescue is not the top priority!"

"That’s all your speculation. What if these beasts don’t think?"

Xu Zhi Rou didn’t want to listen to Lin Fan’s analysis.

Rescuing her brothers was her top priority right now.

"You can despise the enemy strategically but you must pay them due respect tactically. For an organization like the Jiujui Sect, which has become a global cult, they absolutely lack humanity, but they aren’t brainless. If they weren’t capable of such simple yet critical analysis, they wouldn’t be a global target, nor worthy of being your hated enemy."

Seeing that the blood on the wound had turned red.

Only then did Lin Fan tear off his sleeve and use a dagger to make it into strips.

He started to bandage Xu Zhi Rou simply.

"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what you want in order to help me rescue them."

The powerless Xu Zhi Rou sat down in the rain.

She knew that without Lin Fan’s cooperation,

rescuing her comrades would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

"I’ve said it, this isn’t a good time to rescue. Acting rashly will only get ourselves killed, which equals indirectly killing those brothers. I won’t do something so foolish."

Having seen plenty of battles, Lin Fan knew the importance of decision-making well.

Being strong doesn’t mean you can solve every problem by force alone.

After all, he currently had too many weaknesses.

He couldn’t afford even the slightest mistake.

"Enough with the evasions,"

Xu Zhi Rou interrupted Lin Fan bluntly: "Look, if you agree to help me rescue my brothers, I’ll let you use the ’Divine Artifact’ on me, how about that?"

"Niece, are you being so open-minded?"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Zhi Rou in surprise.

He never expected her to say such a thing.

That was really bold.

"It’s just letting you enjoy the benefits early, no big difference,"

Xu Zhi Rou muttered.

After all, her father approved of him.

And she didn’t dislike him, so the marriage could work.

It might just be enjoying the benefits ahead of time.

She didn’t think it a loss: "Enough with the dawdling, old men. If you agree, come now. I’ll cooperate as much as I can, but given the special circumstances, just don’t take too long."

"Niece, don’t tempt me."

Lin Fan said with a wry smile, shaking his head: "I’m allergic to that trick!"

"What do you mean by that!"

Xu Zhi Rou who suddenly sat up, glared at Lin Fan furiously: "Do you look down on me, or are you just cowardly and want to act scared?"

"Is there a difference?"

Lin Fan stood up.

By now, the rain had stopped.

Faint footsteps approached from afar.

He knew that supplies were coming.

"Of course there is!"

Xu Zhi Rou glared at Lin Fan, "I have the looks and the figure, I am skilled in both arts and combat, you have neither the right nor the qualifications to look down on me, so, you’re just a coward, a trash who’s scared as a mouse, a worthless good-for-nothing!"

"Fine, say whatever you want, but for saving lives, you better find someone more capable!"

Lin Fan turned off his flashlight.

He bent down to pick up the dagger stained with poisoned blood from the ground.

Without waiting for Xu Zhi Rou to speak again, he disappeared from the spot like lightning.

"Swoosh...

Just then, several bright flashlights suddenly shot out from the bushes.

Shining on Xu Zhi Rou.

The pursuers, wearing bulletproof vests and holding assault rifles.

Formed a fan shape, closing in on her bit by bit.

"Pup pup pup..."

Suddenly, a figure shot out from the bushes nearby.

The dagger in his hand flashed a chilling, captivating light.

In just a few breaths, he silently annihilated the small team of six.

"No guns, no cannons, the enemy has made for us..."

Lin Fan hummed a tune, tossing the dagger he held to Xu Zhi Rou, who was still sitting on the ground.

He then bent down and began to loot the bodies.

"Why won’t you help me save people with skills like yours!" Xu Zhi Rou said, standing up with her still numb body.

She stepped up to Lin Fan.

Just with the skills he had just displayed.

Even at her peak, she wouldn’t have been capable of that.

Not just her, probably not even the three Divine Guards by her father’s side.

This man was too strong.

"I was just proving to you that you need brains to fight a war," Lin Fan said as he gathered the ammunition.

He then reached to strip their clothes.

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhi Rou asked, puzzled.

This abrupt remark was weirdly random.

"If your special forces were taken down by the enemy, do you really think they couldn’t kill you? Your escape here without being shot is surely because the enemy already knows your identity, so they refrained from using brute force and instead set a trap with poisoned snakes to paralyze and capture you alive, thereby securing their trump card."

Lin Fan pulled out two compressed biscuits, tossing one directly to Xu Zhi Rou.

"So I could be sure, the moment they saw you, they would not fire. Thus, using you as bait, I just waited for them to step into their own trap. That’s decision-making analysis on the battlefield. It might seem complex, but it’s actually quite simple. Clearly, they also guessed you’d go back to save people and set up an ambush. You already fell into a trap; don’t you understand that? Jumping knowingly into a trap set by the enemy is idiocy."

Lin Fan looked at the loot in front of him, quite pleased.

With that, flashlights, firearms, and food, they had enough to last a few days.

"You...you’re the fool!"

Xu Zhi Rou, having been told off by Lin Fan, clenched her fists in anger.

Yet she couldn’t find any retort to argue against him.

"Fool or not, it doesn’t matter; at least we won’t go hungry for now. I advise you not to get too agitated. Although I sucked out some of the toxin, the residue is still enough to trouble you. Getting agitated and stimulating rapid blood circulation can affect your body, so I suggest you’d better lie down for a while!"

Lin Fan held the compressed ration in his hand, smiling.

One had to admit, the trap was useful.

"Alright then, I’ll lie down with you!"

Seeing Lin Fan’s arrogant demeanor, Xu Zhi Rou gritted her teeth.

She had to keep this guy wrapped around her finger.

To have a chance to rescue her brother.
