Chapter 1592: Chapter 1592: The Rift

Gu Fan, watching Jie’s grief-stricken, throat-wrenching sobbing made him feel very guilty, wishing to say something but found himself unable to utter a word as the grave mistake had already been cast.

"Jie... you have to believe me... I really didn’t know..." Gu Fan wanted to reach out to Jie but was met with Jie’s angry glare.

A punch, this was the first time Jie had struck Gu Fan, hitting him squarely in the face.

Gu Fan was full of guilt, he didn’t dodge or avoid the punch; if enduring this could win his friend’s forgiveness, he would take not just one punch but a hundred, but would it even help?

"Why, why?" Jie grabbed Gu Fan by his shirt and loudly demanded answers.

Gu Fan turned his head away and looked down, unable to face Jie’s resentment.

Jie threw another punch, knocking Gu Fan to the ground, then violently kicked him repeatedly.

Seeing things spiral out of control, Lu Yi quickly intervened, holding Jie back and trying to mediate, "Jie, stop hitting him, you have to trust me, and believe Gu Fan as well. We truly didn’t know he was Brother Hai, otherwise Gu Fan wouldn’t have hit him so hard."

Now, nothing could make Jie listen; he just wanted to beat Gu Fan as revenge for Hai.

Gu Fan kneeled on one knee, supporting himself with one hand on the ground, offering no resistance to Jie’s punches and kicks, his own heart also agonized.

"Get out of the way!" Full of fury, Jie broke free from Lu Yi and delivered another harsh kick to Gu Fan.

Just when everyone thought Jie would lose all control, he held back his tears, wiping the corner of his eyes, then glaring fiercely at Gu Fan before abruptly picking up the lifeless body of Hai and leaving.

Lu Yi watched Jie’s departing figure, then looked at the stunned Gu Fan, feeling at that moment that the friendship between the three had been irreparably torn, never to return, never to return.

Xiaojin hurriedly checked on Gu Fan’s condition, concernedly asking, "Dad, how are you, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, I won’t die!" Gu Fan sighed, then stood up, looking in the direction Jie left, his heart filled with immense guilt and pain.

Lu Yi patted Gu Fan’s shoulder, consoling, "This isn’t entirely your fault; I was there, I understand your feelings."

"Sadly, Jie will never forgive me." After saying this, Gu Fan looked toward Xiaojin, hoping for an answer.

Xiaojin expressed that she, too, did not understand why Hai insisted on keeping the helmet on. If he had taken it off sooner, none of this would have happened.

At this time, Xue Heng and Ye Yue also arrived, and Xue Heng explained.

It turns out big names from various forces had gathered the five masters to deal with Gu Fan, hoping to use the strength of these masters to capture Gu Fan and imprison him forever.

The reason for Hai always wearing the helmet was because they feared that upon seeing Gu Fan, Hai would hesitate to act, or might even end up helping Gu Fan.

Indeed, if not for the helmet, Hai would have truly found it difficult to severely injure Xiaojin in front of Gu Fan.

Sadly, Hai was unaware of the consequences of injuring Xiaojin, nor the extent of the impact it had on Gu Fan.

"You all go back first, I have some matters to handle." Gu Fan’s expression was grim, as if he was about to vent through some action.

Lu Yi was not worried about Gu Fan’s safety; after all, Gu Fan was invincible with the protection of the Destiny Stone Body Guard, and even the top five masters couldn’t take him down.

However, Gu Xiaojin was very concerned, clutching Gu Fan’s hand tightly, not letting him leave, and said, "Dad, listen to me, let’s go back together and figure out a solution."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan glanced at his daughter indifferently and asked, "Do you know what is going to happen next?"

Gu Xiaojin’s eyes flickered with panic, as if indeed something bad was about to happen.

"Alright, dear, go home first, I will be back shortly." Gu Fan’s tone was calm, but his expression was resolute, as if nothing could stop him.

But Gu Xiaojin refused to let go: "Dad, listen to me, even if you have to go, wait until I’m ready, at least let us minimize the impact of the situation."

Lu Yi sensed trouble and quickly joined in to persuade: "Gu Fan, you should trust what your daughter says, the situation is already bad, we can’t let it get worse."

"I know, I just don’t want such things to happen again." Gu Fan’s words revealed a trace of anger, as if he wanted to blame someone for this mess.

Lu Yi guessed what Gu Fan was about to do and again tried to stop him: "Hold on, Gu Fan, listen to me, I know those people are despicable, making you accidentally kill Hai, but think about why Hai worked for them, what they have in their hands, think about Jie."

"I know, I will make them hand it over." After saying this, Gu Fan looked at Gu Xiaojin who was still holding on to him, looking at the face that resembled Lin Xi’s exactly.

Gu Fan was truly frightened just now, almost thinking he was about to lose Lin Xi again, about to experience that heart-wrenching pain once more.

Gu Fan then said, "You know some things are inevitable, they will happen no matter what."

"I know, but let me prepare a bit, to at least add some variables to the imminent events that might influence the future trends," Gu Xiaojin pleaded.

Gu Fan thought about it and then nodded: "Alright, since you think Lu Yi can bring a change, then the three of us will go together." After saying this, Gu Fan grabbed Lu Yi and soared into the air.

Gu Fan’s power was too great. Gu Xiaojin tried to pull him but couldn’t, and she could only stomp her feet in frustration, then she also followed.

Only Xue Heng and Ye Yue were left behind, who had not gotten along since their days in Organization X; unexpectedly, even after its demise, they were forced to work under Gu Fan.

Ye Yue teased, "I didn’t expect someone as arrogant as you to submit to others. You weren’t scared by Gu Fan, were you?"

Xue Heng snorted coldly, "You are no different, even more eager to surrender than me, what we have here is the pot calling the kettle black."

"Alright, I won’t talk about this anymore, do you know what Gu Fan is going to do? You seem to be gloating a bit." Ye Yue knew Xue Heng too well; this guy thrived on chaos.

Xue Heng’s lips curled up in a cunning smile and then said, "If I’m not mistaken, Gu Fan is going to deal with the instigators. This could have widespread consequences; I remember when Organization X did something similar and nearly caused havoc."

"Oh, if that’s really the case, then this will be interesting." Ye Yue laughed, she too loved excitement.
