Impossible!
Impossible.
At such an age, how could his strength possibly surpass mine?
Manager Liu found it unbelievable.
But the calmer Chu Fan appeared, the more uneasy he felt.
Just as he hesitated whether to send someone to test Chu Fan’s strength, a chill ran down his spine.
He looked up and saw Chu Fan, as if having seen through his thoughts, smiling at him.
“I’ll say it again, if you don’t want anyone to die, have your person in charge come out!”
He had no patience for fighting these people.
However, if his reminder was ignored and they insisted on seeking death, a little demonstration wouldn’t be out of the question.
That’s right.
Due to nervousness, Manager Liu clenched his fists instinctively, confirming his feelings and suspicions.
Despite Chu Fan’s young age, his strength was definitely above his own.
As he was about to step forward, intending to tell Chu Fan not to rush and that he would contact the person in charge, a one-eyed man beside him spoke first.
“Kid, you’re asking for death.”
The one-eyed man’s status was only slightly lower than Manager Liu’s, and with his continuous performance, he was gradually showing signs of replacing Manager Liu.
Manager Liu, who was about to speak, saw the one-eyed man interrupt and his eyes moved, suppressing the words on his lips.
He had long regarded the one-eyed man as a thorn in his side.
If it weren’t for the lack of a suitable opportunity, he would have dealt with him long ago.
But now, Manager Liu felt the opportunity had arrived.
The one-eyed man wanted to show off, so he would give him the chance to test Chu Fan’s strength. If his own judgment was correct, he could use this to kill two birds with one stone, and let this thorn completely exit the power struggle.
Chu Fan raised an eyebrow and calmly replied, “Yes!”
“Can you grant me my wish?”
“You’re courting death!”
The bald man, provoked, was naturally hot-tempered, and with his subordinates watching, if he didn’t act, how would they perceive him?
He glared with both eyes, suddenly lunged at Chu Fan, preparing to teach this ignorant young man a lesson, reminding him where he was before acting so presumptuously.
The bald man was also a Grandmaster. Cui Fu wisely retreated.
The void vibrated.
Fist against fist.
The bald man’s expression turned astonished, and his heart sank. He hadn’t expected Chu Fan to block his punch, and it seemed effortless.
He had encountered a tough opponent.
At this moment, the bald man began to regret his actions.
He knew that since he had made a move, not continuing would only invite ridicule.
With an arrow already nocked and ready to fire, he immediately prepared to gather his strength for another attack.
But before he could launch his next move, Chu Fan’s attack had already arrived.
Bang…
Manager Liu and the others watched as the bald man was sent flying over ten meters by a single punch, crashing into the wall, spitting blood, and falling to the ground, half-dead.
Among the people from the Hades Palace, only Manager Liu’s expression remained relatively calm. The others were mostly alike, first stunned, and then their gazes towards Chu Fan were filled with terror.
They, as colleagues, knew how strong the bald man was.
Chu Fan’s single punch had heavily injured him, making it unimaginable how powerful he was at such a young age.
“Now, can you notify your person in charge?”
Having achieved his goal, Manager Liu quickly smiled and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll notify them now!”
Bai Xi, who was recuperating, immediately learned that the two who had come wanted to see him. His expression turned cold, and he rebuked, “Am I someone that any cat or dog can meet?”
“I will not see them!”
“Hmm?”
“Is he really that formidable?”
Upon learning that Chu Fan had heavily injured the bald man with a single punch, Bai Xi could only express his surprise, and then said, “Bring them over!”
Underground, Manager Liu said very courteously, “Gentlemen, please!”
While sending someone to lead Chu Fan and the other to meet Bai Xi, he also walked towards the bald man who was lying on the ground, trying to struggle up.
At this moment, the bald man was filled with regret, having never expected his attempt to steal a chicken to result in losing the rice.
Seeing Chu Fan’s arrogance earlier and Manager Liu’s silence, he suddenly felt this might be a good opportunity.
Bai Xi, as the person in charge of this place, was not someone who could be met on a whim.
Since Manager Liu was acting like a timid woman, hesitating to act, he decided to take the initiative and deal with Chu Fan and the other, and then find Bai Xi to accuse Manager Liu and slowly push him out of his position.
At this moment, the bald man understood why Manager Liu had hesitated.
He had long sensed that Chu Fan was not simple. His hesitation was a trap set for him, aiming for a borrowed knife to kill.
Clever!
Truly clever!
The bald man could only offer a wry smile.
Manager Liu squatted beside the bald man with a smile, pointing to his head, and said, “A person not only needs strength, but also a brain.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died!”
“Right?”
Pfft…
Stimulated by this, the bald man spat out another mouthful of blood.
Manager Liu waved his hand, swept away the blood sprayed towards him, and with a hearty laugh, stood up and left.
Whether a Grandmaster or a Master, the worst thing they could suffer was a severe injury.
A normal person who suffers a heavy injury would also need a long period of recuperation to recover. Even after regaining mobility, their strength would be difficult to reach the pre-injury level for a period of time.
The bald man was originally qualified to compete with Manager Liu, but now that he was injured, it would take at least eight to nine years to recover.
After eight to nine years, what qualifications would he have to participate in the competition?
Deep regret appeared on the bald man’s face, along with resentment.
He knew clearly that his future had been ruined by Chu Fan.
…
Upper Base.
Bai Xi sat high on a golden chair, looking down at Chu Fan.
Cui Fu’s strength was too low, not worth his further consideration.
“I heard you wanted to see me?”
“Do we know each other?”
Chu Fan shook his head and calmly replied, “We don’t, but there are some things I’d like to ask you.”
Bai Xi was silent for two seconds, abandoning the idea of testing Chu Fan’s actual strength, and replied with a smile, “What do you want to ask?”
In his own territory, under normal circumstances, an outsider would not be allowed to be so overbearing.
However, after careful assessment, he felt uneasy, lacking a hundred percent certainty of defeating Chu Fan, so he had to compromise and see what he wanted.
“You occupy this place, and your ultimate destination is the secret hidden in the deepest part, isn’t it?”
Bai Xi nodded.
Chu Fan continued, “Then, how much do you know about the secret hidden in the deepest part?”
When the Hades Palace first occupied this place, they hadn’t discovered the secret in the depths, and Chu Fan had thought the Hades Palace was planning to turn it into a stronghold.
But after a tour of the depths, he knew that the main intention of the other party was the mysterious giant door hidden in the deepest part.
The Hades Palace likely knew something about the giant door.
Or rather, the Hades Palace knew where the giant door led, and perhaps even had the intention of opening it.
Facing this question, Bai Xi frowned, then said, “What if I don’t answer you?”
Chu Fan smiled.
“You won’t answer?”
“Then I’ll beat it out of you!”
