Chapter 1151: Recognizing the Same Person
Gu Fan and his group, along with Irina’s group, were escaping deeper into the forest. According to Gu Fan, they should get as far away from the coastline as possible. If he were Organization X, having realized Irina’s intention to retreat by sea, he would definitely send people to search along the coastline.
Irina’s team had arrived with forty-five people, divided into three squads of ten each, plus another ten stationed on the highway and five assigned to pilot the boats.
Now, with two squads wiped out and little hope for the boat crew, only seven people remained with Irina. It could be said that the Hunter’s Guild had suffered heavy casualties this time.
These were battle-hardened elites of the Hunter’s Guild. Paying such a price without obtaining anything useful from Gu Fan left Irina somewhat unwilling to accept the outcome. Turning to glance at Gu Fan, she noticed that two people were missing from his party.
Sensing something was amiss, Irina hurriedly asked, "Strange, where are your girlfriend and your mother?"
"They’re just wandering around; you don’t need to worry about them," Gu Fan answered nonchalantly. He had no intention of telling Irina the truth, which was that Lin Xi, capable of using magic to fly, had already taken Mei Fang and left first.
What Gu Fan really wanted was to get his parents to safety. Then, if he encountered any danger later, he wouldn’t need to worry about them and could fight without hesitation. However, to conserve Lin Xi’s supernatural power and stamina, she had only taken one of his parents first.
Hypothetically, if Lin Xi were to leave with both of Gu Fan’s parents, flying with two people, not to mention the consumption of supernatural power and stamina, it would be difficult to respond if they encountered trouble mid-flight, especially since they were in enemy territory.
Irina frowned. She did not believe Gu Fan’s excuse, as she had seen Lin Xi descend from the sky and suspected something.
