Chapter 1213: Chapter 113: Enemies on a Narrow Road

Just as tensions were high and a fight was about to break out, suddenly the deputy leader’s phone rang, so she answered it. After a few words, her expression froze.

"Fine, you got lucky today, but next time I encounter you, I will definitely not let you off," the deputy leader said harshly before ordering her subordinates to leave immediately, seeming anxious as if there was something urgent she needed to handle.

The skirmish ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Gu Fan, who looked visibly relieved.

According to Gu Fan’s speculation, there must be someone from Organization X in this town. If any commotion occurred that night, the people from Organization X would surely notice the inn, and then notice them.

Irina said, "Well, that’s the end of that. It’s a blessing in disguise. Remember, when you’re away from home, endure when you can; impatience can disrupt grand plans."

Su Hui felt very annoyed upon hearing this, feeling as if it was directed at her.

At that moment, Lu Yi spoke up, "I had a feeling something unexpected would happen before we even started, but hopefully, it won’t be one trouble after another."

"What did you say?" everyone looked at Lu Yi with fierce eyes, scaring him into a cold sweat as he quickly explained, "I didn’t mean that, I...I’m not a doomsayer, I..."

Ouyang Jin became annoyed, "Could you die from talking less? You’re so irritating, I’ll be the first to punch you."

"Hold on, for the sake of our past trials and tribulations together, please, not the face," Lu Yi silently accepted the group punishing him, feeling aggrieved about being a doomsayer.

However, it was more symbolic hitting and not very hard, purely playful fighting among friends.

Seeing them fooling around, someone from the Hunter’s Guild remarked, "Can we really rely on Irina’s group? What are they doing fooling around at such a time?"

To which, Irina shook her head, "Don’t you understand? They alleviate stress this way. We don’t yet know what lies ahead of us; most are probably feeling disturbed and tense, nerves strung tight, needing to do something foolish to distract themselves."

"So that’s it!" the people from the Hunter’s Guild finally understood and began to see them in a new light.

Seeing that the others had fooled around enough, Irina stepped forward and said, "Alright, that’s enough. I predict that all the mercenaries will assemble and set off today, perhaps even as soon as tomorrow, so everyone should rest while they can."

Gu Fan agreed with this point, and just as he was about to speak, another group of mercenaries barged in, obviously needing rooms in the inn as well.

However, these inconsiderate mercenaries, seeing how beautiful Irina was, immediately had crooked ideas, especially a few who unabashedly scanned Irina’s attractive figure with ill-intentioned gazes.

Although very annoyed, Irina still held back, exerting great restraint.

Ouyang Jin said, "Truly a leader, knowing to prioritize the bigger picture, hence did not take action against those bastards."

Seeing this, Gu Fan pessimistically shook his head, "Impossible, it’s definitely going to lead to a fight."

"How can you be so sure?" Ouyang Jin was curious, but then he noticed Lu Yi’s embarrassed expression and suddenly remembered what Lu Yi had mentioned earlier, "Troubles never come alone."

"No way, you doomsayer..." Just as Ouyang Jin finished speaking, he saw those mercenaries start approaching Irina, wicked smiles on their faces.

Seeing these mercenaries foolishly provoking Irina made Gu Fan pessimistic, "Everyone, hurry and get ready. We might have to leave town tonight."

"I have a similar feeling," Ouyang Jin sighed, then quickly retreated.

Sure enough, Irina couldn’t tolerate these fools any longer. She exploded and directly broke one of the man’s arms.

These mercenaries had never been humiliated like this and were immediately furious. They ran outside to find more comrades to help.

The commotion grew larger, attracting many people to notice the inn, so they couldn’t stay. Gu Fan, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Lu Yi, and Ouyang Jin had the foresight to pack everything and then took off with their belongings.

Irina and the Hunter’s Guild were also prepared. They grabbed their things and retreated, feeling extremely resentful. It was supposed to be a well-laid plan, yet it was ruined by these jerks.

Everyone rushed out of the town together. As Irina watched Gu Fan and Lu Yi ahead, she speculated, "Wait, why do they want to beat up Lu Yi? Could it be that Lu Yi really is a doomsayer?"

Just as Irina was about to observe Lu Yi more closely, she suddenly heard a noisy commotion from behind. It turned out that the mercenaries who had been hurt earlier found a large group of reinforcements; unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the inn, Irina and the others were gone, so they started searching everywhere.

As Lu Yi ran, he cursed, "Jerks will be jerks, always so petty. I knew something was going to happen."

"Alright, we get it, you’re amazing. Please just don’t talk unnecessarily," Ouyang Jin said with a pleading look, and Lu Yi wisely kept his mouth shut.

Gu Fan really disliked this feeling. Everything had been planned out, but unnecessary complications arose. They were supposed to head to Dark City after those mercenaries had left, but now they had to venture into the most dangerous place first.

Just as Gu Fan and the others were about to rush out of the town, they unfortunately ran into a group of people, precisely the Lightning Mercenary Corps they had had unpleasant encounters with before.

"Is it you guys?" The deputy commander recognized them immediately and showed a displeased expression.

Seeing the Lightning Mercenary Corps, everyone sported awkward smiles, "Running into you guys again, really quite the coincidence. It must be fate’s doing, letting us meet to resolve our past conflicts. I’m Ouyang Jin, quite single, by the way. And this beautiful lady, may I ask your age, are you betrothed to anyone?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ouyang Jin with weird expressions, secretly thinking he might have taken a fancy to her.

Ouyang Jin explained quietly, "Didn’t you see they are powerful and well-armed, even brought out an armored vehicle, are you sure you don’t want to reconcile?"

Everyone thought about it, and indeed, if it could bring peace, sacrificing Ouyang Jin was worth it.

Ouyang Jin saw everyone quickly agree and immediately became annoyed, "You jerks really want me to sacrifice myself, so unloyal. For such disloyal people, I shouldn’t give you a friendly price. This time, at least give me another million."
