Chapter 203 Negotiating an Alliance
Chapter 203 Negotiating an Alliance
After being away from Duanmu's house for some distance, Duanmu Hong and I looked at the location of Chu Fangjun's house. We stepped on the snow on the ground. The temperature at night was close to minus sixty degrees Celsius, which was the lowest temperature for human beings.
I asked Duanmu Hong if he could handle it, and took out a snowmobile from the space.
Duanmu Hong said to me loudly through the thick mask: "Brother Huo, how come you are so powerful and still have room for improvement? I feel that after I was promoted to the second level, my physical fitness has been much stronger, and my ability to resist cold is much stronger than before!"
I nodded in agreement with him, because I didn't feel that such extremely cold weather had such a big impact on me.
This is what makes us completely different from ordinary people after evolution: we have become stronger!
I got on the snowmobile, carried Duanmu Hong on my back, stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the door of Chu Fangjun's house with ease. At first, I wanted to take Duanmu Hong directly into his villa, but I felt that it was not polite to break in, so I just went to the front door of his house and asked him to open the door.
Chu Fangjun was from a wealthy family, and there was someone on duty at their gate at night. Fortunately, the person on duty at night knew me, and he used his home's internal telephone to contact us and let us in.
Telephone wires are still very good communication tools. They are not affected by harsh environments. Communication is completed by just picking up the call on one side and answering it on the other side.
I stopped my bike at the entrance of Chu Fangjun's main building and put it back into my space. I did it for convenience without any other intention.
When I looked up, I found Wan Qian and Chu Fangjun were looking at me in surprise at the door. I explained that I had a supernatural space.
They also understood the matter of the supernatural space. Chu Fangjun politely welcomed us in. As soon as I walked into the living room, a wave of heat immediately refreshed me. At this time, their house was really warm like spring, making people feel as if they were in a comfortable greenhouse. My eyes fell on the blazing fireplace. The blazing flames danced, emitting a warm and bright light.
At this moment, I felt my mind become clear.
Rich families like theirs have no shortage of servants, let alone resources such as charcoal. Even in this extremely cold doomsday, they are still able to maintain their elegance and warmth, showing the demeanor of a wealthy family.
On the sofa in the living room, we saw Su Keshan wearing a red coat. This coat looked more like a comfortable home outfit with fleece. It was fitted with a black belt at the waist. Although this dress did not reveal much, her graceful figure showed as she walked towards us gracefully. Her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, looked very charming under the outline of the black belt.
I glanced at Su Keshan, thinking that this woman had reconciled with Chu Fangjun again. Her face was flushed with joy. Had she forgotten her parents' home, which had little savings, after all the happiness? She must have been so happy that she didn't want to leave.
I didn’t know what was going on. I just said hello to Su Keshan and walked past her to talk to Chu Yuan and Gu Mingyan.
Su Keshan glanced at me and didn't take it seriously, but when she saw me bringing Duanmu Hong with me, she said in surprise: "Isn't this the young master of the Duanmu family? Why are you here too?"
Duanmu Hong is different from his brother Duanmu Qing. First of all, he is not very clear about the competition between his brother and Chu Fangjun. Since they all grew up in this villa complex, he used to call Chu Fangjun "brother" politely. Later, after becoming friends with Chu Yuan, he felt that Chu Fangjun could be very close.
So as soon as he saw Chu Fangjun, he quickly pulled Chu Fangjun aside and spoke to him in a very intimate manner, calling him brother.
At this time, we were all in the small conference room of Chu Fangjun's house, discussing the current dilemma.
Chu Fangjun looked at Duanmu Hong and asked tentatively: "You know about Fu Yu, right?"
Duanmu Hong did not hide anything and repeated what she had said to the people in the conference room. Now in the conference room there were me, Gu Mingyan, Chu Yuan, Chu Fangjun, Su Keshan, and finally Chu Fangjun's capable subordinate Wanqian.
They are all our own.
Chu Fangjun was silent for a moment and then asked solemnly, "Didn't your brother tell you when he would be back?"
At this time, Duanmu Hong gave us an important piece of information. He said that his brother had said a while ago that he was rushing back, but he didn't know the exact time of their return because of the current road conditions and temperature, which made it difficult to return. He also didn't know what means of transportation they used to return, but he calculated that the time would not be later than the end of the month at the latest!
It's already late January, and it's almost the end of the month. I feel like it's about time they return.
But what should we do now?
Chu Fangjun frowned and answered with a sigh, "Do you know that the Fugui Gang is now a headache for the entire Banshan Base? There are many powerful and capable desperate criminals in their gang. In this world, the weather outside is cold and the roads are snowy. Without the support of the army, even the government is afraid of them!"
Wan Qian also followed his boss' topic and continued to explain: "In the beginning, the Fugui Gang was just a group of hungry ruffians who joined together to plunder the disaster victims' supplies. You have heard about the time when they wiped out a wanted criminal gang called Hu Haotian in Tianmu, right?"
I know this very well. Gu Qingyan and I nodded together and said that we were present at the time and it was my brother Xiaobai's sister who led the team to annihilate them!
Wan Qian nodded and continued, "Originally, after a severe crackdown by the higher-level government, all these small gangs were disbanded, fearing that they would become the next target of government crackdowns. But at this time, a wealthy businessman appeared. He used funds and his own background to become the behind-the-scenes sponsor of this gang, that is, the behind-the-scenes boss. The wealthy businessman is Fu Yu! With his funding, the Fugui Gang has become larger and larger and has escaped the government's pursuit. Now they are even more evil, committing murder, robbery and other crimes, attracting many high-level psychics to join. Now they are so powerful that even the people who let them go in the beginning can't do anything about it."
Hearing this, Duanmu Hong, Chu Yuan, and Gu Mingyan all stood up in shock. Oh my God! This is so shocking. I didn't expect this person to become Duanmu Hong's stepfather!
Duanmu Hong gnashed his teeth and roared angrily: "I want to kill this old thing!"
I stopped the irritable Duanmu Hong and asked, "Let's not talk about whether we can kill Fu Yu. Even if there is a conflict, it will tear your mother apart. If you really want to sacrifice your family relationship..." Chu Yuan also persuaded, "Don't be excited. We have to work together to find a solution."
Duanmu Hong calmed down and looked at us. He also fell into deep thought. After all, she was his biological mother. If Fu Yu was really killed, would it also hurt her mother? But he couldn't just sit back and watch. He sighed, "It would be great if my mother could listen to me."
I also thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's wait for Duanmu Qing to come back and then discuss what to do next? And to be honest, we don't have the strength to deal with him now!"
I immediately looked at Chu Fangjun and asked, "Mr. Chu, you also have superpowers now, right?"
Chu Fangjun answered me frankly without hiding anything. With the help of the crystal core, he was promoted to a third-level lightning mutant.
I feel that Chu Fangjun's temperament is different. It turns out that he has also reached the third level, and he is a very powerful lightning power user. In fact, I also have lightning power, but I find that it is just like this electronic product or any other object. Once it has many functions, no one is particularly proficient. It's like the saying that too much knowledge is miscellaneous! I am like this, I can integrate everything without being very sure of anything, and I can't compare with people who only have one power...
Chu Fangjun asked me back: "I heard from Keshan that you also have healing abilities? And space abilities?" He looked at me with inquiring eyes.
After thinking about it, I decided not to show off my many superpowers. I just nodded and acknowledged the two superpowers he mentioned, but I also added an ice power.
Wan Qian was very surprised. He had never seen anyone with more than two superpowers. He seemed to admire me a little.
Wan Qian has the ability of speed, and he has also been upgraded to the third-level ability user during this period. I told him that my brother Li has the same ability as him, but Brother Li has reached the fourth level, so his attack speed is very strong. I will introduce him to you in the future and we can discuss together how to upgrade and how to subdue others.
I asked Chu Fangjun about the crystal core again. He should fully understand the origin and purpose of the crystal core after upgrading during this period.
Unexpectedly, Chu Fangjun generously took out an exquisite bag and handed it to me. I opened it and saw about thirty small crystal cores inside. I was immediately shocked: "This is..."
