Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549: Good News Keeps Coming
These days have been rather peaceful, the city where Gu Fan resides hasn’t witnessed any extreme events; it’s as if vampires truly don’t dare to cause trouble in this city anymore.
Gu Fan is not worried about anything happening on Helen’s side, he believes that Helen, Xue Lang, and Qiao Ya will manage things well.
Right now, what Gu Fan is most concerned about is how far the Blood King and his group have developed. Placing himself in their shoes, if he himself were the Blood King, he would definitely create more vampires quickly and rebuild an invincible army.
"That’s good!" Gu Fan has his plans too; as long as Organization X makes a comeback, it will be other forces that will lose sleep over it. And since Gu Fan is the only one capable of fighting against Organization X, it is certain these forces wouldn’t offend him and wouldn’t bother Helen either.
As expected, Su Hui looked somewhat solemn today after work, as if she had encountered some thorny issue.
Seeing Su Hui in a bad mood, Gu Fan quickly offered her tea and water: "What’s wrong? Who has upset our beautiful Su Hui? Tell me, and I’ll vent your anger for you."
Su Hui shook her head, "I have one piece of good news and one piece of bad news; which one do you want to hear first?"
"Why is it always one piece of good news and one piece of bad news? Can’t it all be good news?" Gu Fan’s face showed a bitter expression because the combination of good and bad news always seemed predominantly bad.
Su Hui looked at Gu Fan seriously and then said: "Your judgment is correct. Recently, many new vampires have appeared in various strongholds of Organization X, and they are expanding at a rate beyond our prediction. This battle is becoming tough for the Hunter’s Guild and all other forces involved."
Hearing this, Gu Fan chuckled: "Sister Su, don’t tell me that various forces are now appealing to me for reinforcements, hoping that I will lend a hand."
Sister Su nodded: "Yes, after all, Organization X is our common enemy, and the various forces have learned from this lesson that vampires cannot be completely eradicated and have accepted the reality that humans and vampires must coexist."
"Those big shots change their minds pretty fast," Gu Fan said with a lack of enthusiasm.
Su Hui asked, "What do you think, will you go?"
Gu Fan shook his head flatly: "I don’t mean to disrespect you, Sister Su, but why do I feel like I’ll be working for these big shots for free? I won’t engage in a losing business."
"The higher-ups said that as long as you help completely eliminate the Blood King and Organization X, the big shots promise not to trouble Helen and the others," Su Hui said, hoping Gu Fan would give it some more thought. But Gu Fan replied immediately: "It’s okay, let those big shots trouble Helen and the rest. I will protect Helen and them, I will help Helen fend off all invaders."
"This..." Su Hui pondered and realized it was true - if they couldn’t defeat them, they could hardly expect them to back down out of benevolence.
"Let’s wait a bit longer, I’m not in a hurry," Gu Fan said, showing a bit of laziness, which instantly made Su Hui want to laugh, yet she playfully punched Gu Fan in frustration.
Gu Fan’s plan is simple: as time goes on and Organization X grows more powerful, they won’t be on the defensive but will launch a counterattack instead, making those who dare to offend them pay, including the big shots.
Think about it; as your enemy grows stronger, wouldn’t you be afraid and unable to sleep? At that moment, when you see a powerful individual capable of opposing the enemy, you ask for their help, willing to accept whatever tough conditions they set.
However, Su Hui kindly reminded him to know when to stop and not to push the big shots too far.
To this, Gu Fan didn’t take it seriously. If they get anxious, so be it. If these big shots couldn’t even handle Organization X, it just shows they’re not very capable – what else could they do?
Su Hui squinted at Gu Fan, feeling that he was a little too confident and getting carried away.
Honestly, ever since Gu Fan, in a one-against-two battle, defeated the hunter and the big boss, he truly started feeling invincible—be it the forces of various factions, Organization X, or vampires, he considered them all irrelevant.
Su Hui reminded Gu Fan of a crucial difference between him and the big boss – the big boss had no attachments and could act recklessly, but Gu Fan couldn’t. He had to first consider his family, then his friends.
If others can’t match Gu Fan in hard power, they can certainly overpower him with their soft power. Unless they employ soft power tactics, and Gu Fan responds with hard power, which he wouldn’t do.
After some contemplation, Gu Fan realized the truth in her advice and so toned down his contemptuous attitude. The old problem resurfaced - if it’s possible not to offend those big shots, then don’t.
Just then, Gu Fan received a call, surprisingly from his parents. He answered and heard their joyful voices.
It turned out that a large company had taken interest in his parents’ achievements and offered them a job with a salary several times higher than their current one, which made them ecstatic.
Gu Fan rarely heard his parents cheer like that and he too was happy, yet he felt that this development was both sudden and strange.
Soon, Li Shi also called, asking Gu Fan to handle some company matters promptly. Recently, for unknown reasons, several businesses with projects had approached them, seeking proactive collaboration. If feasible, the company could soar.
"This..." Gu Fan began to feel that something was off and believed more good news would follow.
Indeed, Gu Ling also brought joyous news; not only had she succeeded in her graduate admission, but her advisor turned out to be an internationally renowned professor. She felt like she was dreaming.
Today’s good news just kept coming, one after another. Even Lu Yi, who had been performing so-so, somehow got promoted and was moved to a newly opened branch as a manager, which left him doubting life itself.
What could Gu Fan say, other than to offer his congratulations? Could Gu Fan warn that there was something fishy about all these events?
Su Hui couldn’t help but remark on the cunning tactics: truly worthy of the big shots of various forces, who could mobilize so many resources.
With this turn of events, Gu Fan found himself caught in a difficult position, as if he could hear the voices of the big shots of various forces saying, "We’ve already bestowed such great favors on you, Gu Fan, it’s time you returned the favor to us."
"Fine, just think of it as doing something for the family, for friends," Gu Fan’s words carried clear intent – he had decided to help, to completely eradicate the Blood King and Organization X.
But Gu Fan asked Su Hui to convey one message when she returned: he insisted on absolute command, meaning everything must be done at his behest, or there would be no deal.
"Sure, no problem!" Su Hui agreed, indicating that this kind of bargaining was necessary. It should not create the wrong impression that Gu Fan was easily controlled, preventing others from employing such tactics again.
