Leng Le rolled her eyes and then retorted, "I’m scrambling to save up money for raising kids as it is; where would I get the money to keep a toy boy."

"No worries, if you can’t afford it, as your best friend, I can subsidize you a bit, and help you keep one on the side for myself," Liu Yao joked, making Leng Le unable to contain her laughter.

In a corner, the man who was just there watched Leng Le, observing the two women as they chattered and horsed around with a gratified look in his eyes.

Deep into the night, when all was quiet, the man sped through the night, across mountains and rivers, arriving at an unfinished building on the outskirts of the city.

The man was very vigilant, pricking up his ears to the sounds around him, then he looked towards a certain place and said, "Stop hiding, come on out already."

Straightaway, a slim figure emerged from the darkness, dressed in black clothes and wearing a white mask to hide her true face.

"Haven’t I said that in this world one must always wear a mask," the woman said, and tossed a mask to the man.

The man caught the mask and sighed helplessly, "I just wanted to see..."

The woman said in a plain tone, "I know what you’re thinking, but don’t forget, we have an important mission on our trip here. Our goal is Gu Fan; only by changing Gu Fan’s destiny can we alter the fate of everyone, including that person who is so important to you."

"Can it really work?" The man seemed to lack confidence, "You’ve seen it too, the power of the Destiny Stone is hard to contend with. Even if we find a way to break the Destiny Stone’s hold over Gu Fan, and change Gu Fan’s fate again and again, the Mysterious Masked Man will appear, steering Gu Fan’s fate back to its original course time after time. Whatever is meant to happen still happens, so what’s the point of everything we do?"

The woman was resolute in her response, "Before, the Mysterious Masked Man acted in the shadows. Now that his identity has been exposed, Gu Fan is on guard against him, and we haven’t exposed ourselves yet, so we still have a chance."

Hearing this, the man sighed involuntarily, looking uninterested, even a bit weary, "Honestly, I don’t want to help Gu Fan at all, I have no good feelings towards him."

The woman walked over, her hands gripping the man’s arms as she pleaded, "I know what you’re thinking, and I know this is hard for you, but do it for me and for everyone, change Gu Fan, to win a better future."

The man nodded, "I know, no matter how much I hate Gu Fan, no matter how unwilling I am to help him, I’ll stand by your side. I believe we can complete our mission and then go back together."

Just as the man and woman reached an agreement, a strange noise suddenly occurred, and they quickly hid in the darkness.

It turned out two vampires had also arrived at this unfinished building. After a thorough inspection, they found no one around and couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

"Alright, we finally get to feast tonight." A vampire rubbed his belly, couldn’t resist complaining, "If it weren’t for fear of that Gu Fan, we wouldn’t have had to wait until now to eat."

"Exactly!" the other vampire added while tossing someone onto the ground, their dinner for the evening.

These two vampires were those who had broken away from the East Nobles and refused to return to Organization X, acting completely on their own. The problem was they didn’t dare to cause trouble, with Gu Fan’s warning still echoing in their ears.

The two vampires, after enduring hunger for a long time, finally couldn’t help themselves and snagged someone from the city to feast on today, believing that missing one person wouldn’t be noticed by Gu Fan or the Hunter’s Guild.

As the vampires munched on their prey, they chatted, "It’s laughable, this Gu Fan thinking he can restrict our behavior, expecting us to listen to him, what a joke! What are we supposed to drink if not blood, milk?"

"Indeed, it’s a wild fancy and the same goes for those vampires who chose to stay, must have something wrong in their heads, actually believing Gu Fan, actually thinking of abandoning evil to follow good. What a joke, vampires are evil in people’s minds, and these humans are food in the eyes of vampires, coexistence in harmony is impossible."

While the two vampires were going back and forth, the man hiding in the shadows finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He emerged, although wearing a mask, his anger and killing intent could not be concealed.

"Who’s there!" The vampires got nervous, their acute hearing hadn’t detected a person in the unfinished building, which showed the intruder’s impressive ability.

The man said coldly, "I really don’t know why Gu Fan bothers to protect trash like you."

"Dare to call us trash, state your name," the vampires, sensing an unrecognizable foe but out of face-saving necessity, had to remain tough.

"You’re not worthy of knowing my name." With that, the man charged forward, heading straight for the two vampires.

In just a moment, both vampires were impaled through the heart with wooden stakes, their skin turning ashen gray as they fell down dead, while the man came out unscathed, effortlessly.

The woman had already come out to check on the person the vampires had brought, only to find that they were already...

The man sighed, "I really hate these vampires; if Gu Fan had insisted on wiping them out from the start, we wouldn’t have so many problems..."

The woman shook her head, "You can’t blame Gu Fan for that; history has shown that vampires can’t be completely eradicated, and they can turn many ordinary people into vampires in a short period of time, spreading rapidly like wildfire. Force really doesn’t solve the issue. Gu Fan’s only mistake was that his ideas didn’t align with most people’s, leading to conflicts with many, he’s just too stubborn."

"Yeah, if he had just stood with everyone to fight against vampires, no matter how bad the situation, it would be just an ongoing battle with Organization X." After saying this, the man waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to continue the topic, as discussions involving Gu Fan inevitably led to disputes between him and the woman.

Recognizing this, the woman didn’t press the issue further but pointed at the two vampires on the ground, "Alright, this place is our temporary shelter, could you please take them out? Don’t even think of asking me for help, I’m a woman and given our relationship, you wouldn’t want to see me toil, right?"

"You..." The man wanted to say something, but ultimately removed his mask, with a look of resignation.

"Thanks!" The woman couldn’t help but laugh seeing the man obediently going about the task.

After that, the woman turned around, walking to the edge of the unfinished building, gazing at the city lights in the distance, her eyes turning somber.
