Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: The Importance of a Meal

The great war outside was intense; even Gu Fan, locked in his cell, could feel it. This was not a disturbance that mutant vampires could have caused.

Gu Fan didn’t think that just Lin Xi and Su Hui alone could accomplish this, so who exactly was capable of doing so?

Helen walked into the place where Gu Fan was being held. The room was not merely constructed of reinforced concrete but was also covered with sturdy steel plates that even the big boss’s strength could not penetrate.

In addition, a strengthened glass dome was installed, impervious even to bombs. Gu Fan was locked inside this glass dome, wearing a very gloomy expression.

"This room is prepared for the most special prisoners, and Gu Fan, you are the first to enjoy this treatment," said Helen, her words tinged with a hint of mockery, unsure what else she could say to lighten Gu Fan’s spirits a bit.

Gu Fan gave a self-deprecating smile: "Thank you for giving me such great treatment; if possible, I really wish you’d treat me like a normal person."

Helen sighed helplessly: "There’s no way around it, who told you to be so extraordinary? Since the establishment of Dark City, no one has caused Organization X such significant losses as you, Gu Fan. You are the first."

Gu Fan responded: "This isn’t a problem I can create on my own; it is thousands of small issues converging together that have ignited such a huge trouble. Those mutant vampires aren’t my creation."

"Alright, you didn’t call me here just to talk about this," Helen looked seriously at Gu Fan, who nodded: "That’s right, I want to know who exactly has been able to cause such a commotion outside that even Organization X can’t control the situation temporarily."

"You want to know..." Helen showed a troubled expression, then shook her head: "Sorry, Xue Wang has instructed not to let you know what exactly happened outside, to prevent you from using your cunning to formulate a new plan."

Hearing this, Gu Fan looked innocent: "Stop joking around; I’m locked up here by you all, cut off from the outside world, what else can I do? You all are being too cautious."

Helen responded: "To deal with you, we obviously need to be more careful, because of you, the price we’ve paid is truly too great."

Gu Fan could only give a wry smile: "Okay, I called you here hoping you would relay a message for me. If it’s Lin Xi and Su Hui out there causing trouble with Organization X, please spare them some face on my behalf, and don’t harm them."

Helen agreed: "Okay, I’ll definitely pass on your message, but you know, with both sides at war, and life and death at stake, many things are hard to control. It would be best if you could persuade them to cease."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan’s brow furrowed: "So, the fight outside really does involve Lin Xi and Su Hui?"

"I’m sorry, your companion Lin Xi came, but not Su Hui." Helen’s words made Gu Fan deeply puzzled; he didn’t understand how Lin Xi alone could sustain such a long fight.

Gu Fan immediately pressed: "Impossible, with just Lin Xi alone, it couldn’t last that long; Helen, tell me, who else is there?"

"I can’t tell you that, but one thing is certain, even if Lin Xi has a very powerful helper now, this is Organization X’s territory. We have more people and more powerful individuals than you guys, you can’t win, I hope you, Gu Fan, surrender sooner rather than later, joining Organization X has no downsides." Helen’s suggestion sounded quite good, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for Gu Fan.

"Alright, I’ll think about it," Gu Fan displayed a hesitant look.

Helen didn’t want to stay any longer, she didn’t know how to face Gu Fan anymore; she wanted to help him, but she could not go against Organization X.

Just as Helen was about to leave the room, Gu Fan suddenly asked faintly, "Helen, if I take down all the top brass of Organization X, do you have the capability to take over?"

"What do you mean?" Helen turned around, looking at Gu Fan with a shocked expression.

Gu Fan then gave a foolish smile: "It’s nothing, I was just speaking casually, don’t mind it."

Perplexed, Helen dropped such a remark and left. Her heart was uneasy; she felt that Gu Fan wasn’t just speaking casually, but how could it be possible to take down all the top brass of Organization X?

In fact, Gu Fan already had a preliminary plan. Through his confrontations with Organization X, he realized it was a massive, deeply-rooted organization, difficult to completely eradicate — essentially an invincible enemy that would continue to entangle with him.

Thus, Gu Fan thought, if a new leader took over Organization X, the situation might improve greatly, and this new leader must maintain a good relationship with Gu Fan. After thinking it through, the most suitable candidate seemed to be Helen.

However, realizing this idea was incredibly difficult. Helen’s status was mediocre not just within Organization X, but even among the East Nobles.

Gu Fan wondered how many of Organization X’s high-ranking officials he needed to eliminate to elevate Helen.

"Really troublesome!" Unable to devise a good strategy, Gu Fan could only fret, then looked around his living environment — all around were walls of sturdy steel plates, he was covered by a glass dome, and many cameras were aimed at him.

Gu Fan suddenly realized he had just let something slip. If Organization X heard what he said about overthrowing all of its high-ranking officials and having Helen take over, wouldn’t that put Helen in danger?

But perhaps only in dangerous situations could Helen completely break away from Organization X. Truth be told, as long as Helen was in Organization X, Gu Fan could not fully go against them.

Gu Fan would never forget how second granduncle sacrificed himself to save Gu Fan’s family. Gu Fan was determined to help Helen, and he truly hoped she could break away from Organization X.

The noise of fighting outside interrupted Gu Fan’s thoughts, causing him some irritation. Right now, his concern wasn’t Helen but the safety of Lin Xi and Su Hui.

"What can I do, I’m stuck here and can’t do anything." Gu Fan paced back and forth within the confined space of the glass dome, unable to think of any effective strategies.

Was he really going to sit here and wait for death? Gu Fan sighed deeply, feeling helpless and exhausted.

The more helpless he felt, the more he wished someone could come and assist him, easing his burden.

At that moment, the room’s door opened — it was a few people from Organization X coming to deliver food. Despite being enemies, Gu Fan was important to Organization X, and they wouldn’t be so petty as to not even let him eat well.

"Thanks, you’re quite generous with the food for an enemy," Gu Fan said as he took the food through a small opening and began to eat with relish.

However, Gu Fan wouldn’t have imagined that this meal would inspire Li Shi, leading her to discover his location.
