Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Dragon Group’s Original Hypothetical Enemy

Sun Wan scoffed, "The seven major families are really despicable with this move, using the civilians to try and kill Ning Fan. Shameless!"

With the seven major families’ influence in Capital City for so many years, stirring up public opinion was an easy task.

Even Dragon Group had no way to oppose them at this time.

"Why don’t I just go and kill the Family Heads of the seven major families?" Lu Tong suggested a straightforward solution.

Lian Hongyi rolled his eyes, "That might satisfy you, but what about Ning Fan? Everyone would think it was Ning Fan who killed the Family Heads of the seven major families, even thinking we colluded with him!"

"Oh, my mistake," realized Lu Tong.

Sun Wan sighed, "Let’s wait. As long as Ning Fan can defeat Long Yun, everything will be manageable."

As he finished speaking, the three looked at each other.

Could he win?

Honestly, they did not know.

Only Huo Qiu, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly said faintly, "I think he can do it."

Hearing this, all three turned their heads to look at their recently recovered deputy group leader.

"Just because he severely injured you once, you have such confidence in him?" Lian Hongyi asked curiously.

Huo Qiu shook his head, "Not for that reason, but because I think Ning Fan can win. We had him cornered like that, and yet he escaped. Could Long Yun have escaped?"

With those words, the three fell silent, realizing they had been stuck in a cognitive blind spot.

The original hypothetical enemy of Dragon Group was Long Yun.

Considering the setup from before, even if Long Yun had appeared, the chances of him escaping were minimal.

Yet, Ning Fan had forcefully escaped!

Moreover, he even beat Dragon Group to such an extent that they couldn’t hold their heads up!

"If we go by what Huo Qiu said, maybe Ning Fan can win!"

"Right, looking at it this way, Ning Fan might indeed be stronger than Long Yun!"

But then Huo Qiu changed his tone and said quietly, "But maybe not, after all, our strategy was just based on treating Long Yun as a hypothetical enemy. Whether it can really work against Long Yun, none of us know."

Sun Wan said irritably, "So do you actually want Ning Fan to lose or win?"

Huo Qiu was silent for a long while before mumbling, "I don’t know. I should hope he loses, but he also saved my life."

The conflicting feelings of gratitude and enmity made it difficult for Huo Qiu to decide.

"Forget it, although he seriously hurt you before, if you hadn’t constantly insisted on suppressing him, he wouldn’t have done that," Lian Hongyi consoled.

Huo Qiu sighed, "I just feel that someone with Ning Fan’s strengths poses a huge threat if left unchecked."

"Unfortunately, we’ve realized now that the threat isn’t Ning Fan," Sun Wan shook his head. "The real threat is the people of the seven major families."

Ever since the last time Ning Fan pointed it out, the members of Dragon Group had seen the true colors of the seven major families.

"Get ready," Lian Hongyi yawned and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, "As soon as Ning Fan defeats the seven major families, we’ll immediately act and release the evidence we’ve gathered!"

"If the seven major families don’t take the hint, then the enemies of the Capital City’s civilians won’t be Ning Fan, but them!"

...

Su Family.

Su Qingcheng also received the news of recent days and despised the slandering of Ning Fan.

"Do these people not have brains? They simply don’t care about the truth!"

Su Qingcheng was so furious that she wanted to rush out now and tear the mouths of those chattering people behind Ning Fan’s back!

Su Han still held the same attitude.

"Qingcheng, your second uncle is also helpless. It’s a coalition of the major families, and no matter what I do, I can’t oppose the other major families!"

"You’re about to be married off. Don’t worry about these matters. Just focus on preparing for your marriage."

Frustrated, Su Qingcheng could only sit in front of the computer and sulk, unable to argue online, "Ning Fan... You must win."

However, amidst such chaos, Ning Fan was busying himself with his own affairs.

...

Capital City, Wild Mountain.

Two figures were intensely fighting at the mountain peak.

The tall and burly man was shrouded in a golden glow, resembling a legendary Buddhist Arhat, each punch and kick containing immense power.

Each attack would create a violent sonic boom, and the surrounding rocks and trees would be pulverized by the force of his fists.

The other figure was much smaller but far faster than the burly man.

The entire person almost turned into a phantom in the air.

One second he was several meters away, the next he was already in front of the burly man.

Their battle held nothing back, even the shockwaves from their clashes were enough to injure a Peak Great Master!

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded, and the two figures separated.

Shuang’er was gasping for breath, shaking her right hand irritatedly, "No good! The big guy’s defense is too strong, even using all my strength I can only break through his defense!"

Huo Erba chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head and restraining the golden light on his body, revealing a fierce wound on his chest.

Such a terrifying injury would have split any other Grandmaster in half on the spot.

It was only because Huo Erba’s defense was astonishing that he could still stand.

But Shuang’er’s injuries were also serious; her slender left arm twisted into an awkward angle, deeply bent inward from being hit inadvertently by Huo Erba.

"Not bad, you’ve managed to break through Huo Erba’s defense. It’s just that your burst wasn’t sufficient to severely injure him,"

A serene voice came from nearby; Ning Fan approached the two and fed them each an Elixir.
