Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594: Settle the Scores Properly

After learning about the events that will happen in the future, everyone finally understood the meaning behind the words of the mysterious masked man.

Gu Fan’s mind was thrown into a chaos, unsure of how to deal with these impending events, especially since they seemed unchangeable.

Following Lin Yue, Jie was the second one to break with Gu Fan; although Gu Fan thought that not all the blame lay on him, but...

Soon Gu Fan noticed the strange looks everyone was giving him, as if imagining what would make them fall out with him.

When their eyes met Gu Fan’s, they quickly dodged away, deliberately avoiding him, which made Gu Fan’s heart tighten.

It was Gu Ling who noticed that the atmosphere was off and quickly changed the subject: "Right, Xiaojin, why did you come to this era? Is the future really that bad?"

Gu Xiaojin still looked distressed, seemingly reluctant to speak, and even glanced at Gu Fan with a plea for permission.

"Go ahead, I want to know what happens in the future too," said Gu Fan solemnly, trying to calm himself and brace for what was to come.

Under Gu Xiaojin’s narration, the future world was completely controlled by Gu Fan; he did as he pleased, and those who dared to defy were shown no mercy.

In the future, nearly all who dared to resist Gu Fan were killed. The survivors formed a resistance army and hid wherever they could, clinging to a faint hope of defeating someone who seemed unbeatable.

After hearing this, everyone quickly understood what Gu Fan would become in the future—it was truly terrifying.

Indeed, in the future, Gu Fan was protected by the Destiny Stone Body Guard, his power was unmatched, and with legions of vampires under his command, he swept through everything, unstoppable.

In reality, many had realized that not all that had happened could be blamed on Gu Fan. It was largely everyone’s own doing, yet everyone expected Gu Fan to bear the brunt of the blame. It was unfair to Gu Fan, and therefore, everyone was responsible for the person he would become.

Later, the future’s resistance army thought of a method: send someone back in time to change past events, which might prevent Gu Fan from turning into this great evil overlord.

After talking about so much of the future, Gu Xiaojin left everyone in the room unsettled for a long time, the mood silent and suppressed.

"But what is meant to happen has happened; can it really be prevented?" Helen broke the silence, casting doubt over Xiaojin’s actions.

In response, Gu Xiaojin shook her head, admitting that, given the current trend, many things really couldn’t be changed. It seemed Gu Fan was still destined to become the mysterious masked man.

Everyone turned their gaze to Gu Fan, feeling a sense of regret. If Gu Fan did indeed become the mysterious masked man, it meant that he would travel through time to personally kill Lin Xi.

Gu Fan sat on the sofa in silence, his face tense and looking very unpleasant, leaving everyone unsure about what to say to comfort him.

In fact, everyone wanted to know what role they would play in the future, especially Gu Ling, who incessantly pressed Gu Xiaojin for answers.

"Alright, everyone, I really can’t say too much," pleaded Gu Xiaojin, struggling to withstand the expectant looks from everyone.

At that moment, Su Hui asked everyone not to trouble Gu Xiaojin, taking on the attitude of a mother protecting her own daughter.

"Thank you, mom!" Gu Xiaojin was very touched, but then she saw Su Hui’s serious expression and knew that things were not that simple.

Su Hui spoke calmly, "You came to this era and hugged me the first time you saw me, that felt unusual, so I guessed maybe something happened to the future me."

"This..." Gu Xiaojin hadn’t expected Su Hui’s intuition to be so accurate, so she could only nod stiffly.

In an instant, Su Hui’s heart sank, as though she was being dragged into an abyss.

Gu Xiaojin, looking down and speaking timidly, continued, "Dad’s enemies are growing by the day; knowing they can’t defeat Dad, they have taken revenge on us, mother and daughter, and to protect me you..." She didn’t finish, but her meaning was clear.

The atmosphere fell back into silence and oppression, everyone’s heart felt suffocated, and despair for the future had already begun to settle in.

Just then, Gu Fan spoke, "You mentioned the resistance earlier. Does your arrival here mean you’ve joined the resistance? Do they know you are my daughter?"

"They know I’m your daughter, and they welcomed me to join because my goal is similar to theirs. They want to overthrow you, while I want to bring back the father I once respected and deeply loved." Gu Xiaojin looked earnestly at Gu Fan, hoping he would stand up and bring hope once again.

Gu Fan rubbed his head as if troubled, seemingly making some difficult decision.

In the past, everyone unconditionally believed in Gu Fan, supported him, followed him, but now everyone was unsure how to deal with their relationship with Gu Fan.

After a long pause, Gu Fan slapped his thigh and then abruptly stood up, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, "Alright, Xiaojin, I declare your mission in this era is over. Since the past cannot be changed, let’s not waste our efforts and focus on more practical matters instead."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaojin’s eyes widened. She wanted to find this kind of father, one who provided a sense of firm reliability.

"Xiaojin, I have a mission for you, and that is to take me to the future, so I can defeat that bastard and end his rule." While saying this, the fighting spirit in Gu Fan’s eyes intensified, his exhilarated expression as if he couldn’t wait to beat up the mysterious masked man.

Lu Yi immediately understood and blurted out, "You’re going to avenge Miss Lin."

Everyone else made a realization, as if they too believed that must be what Gu Fan was thinking.

Only Gu Xiaojin was taken aback, then asked, "Excuse me, who is Miss Lin?"

"Well..." Everyone started to play dumb, none of them answering Gu Xiaojin’s question.

Gu Xiaojin looked from one person to another and saw no one willing to answer her question; she found this very strange, feeling that Miss Lin was not an ordinary person, yet wondering why no one would mention her in her presence.

"Alright, let’s set off now," Gu Fan had just spoken, and others also expressed their willingness to go. Especially Lu Yi, he felt his doomsayer predictions could definitely be useful.

But Gu Fan waved his hand, declining everyone’s kindness because the opponent they were facing this time was no ordinary one, a foe even more difficult than Gu Fan himself. He did not want Lin Xi’s incident to happen again; hence, he decided to face it alone.

Gu Xiaojin thought carefully and felt that this plan might really work; perhaps the only one who could defeat Gu Fan was Gu Fan himself.
