Chapter 1378: An Attack
For three whole days, Gu Fan had not been summoned by Catherine, as if she had lost interest in him.
However, this was a relief for Gu Fan, who felt that staying out of the spotlight was beneficial for his survival.
Yet, what was bound to come eventually came. Catherine’s subordinates came to inform Gu Fan to report immediately for an urgent mission.
"How is there another urgent mission?" Gu Fan frowned, puzzled. Why did Catherine always turn to him when she faced difficult situations, when she had so many subordinates at her disposal? She couldn’t possibly think that all newcomers were cannon fodder.
With a nervous heart, Gu Fan went to Catherine’s nightclub, where he saw Li, and immediately sensed that this operation was not going to be straightforward.
Catherine summoned Gu Fan, Li, and three other subordinates and disclosed the top-secret mission.
To overpower the other nobles, the Western Nobles and the Northern Aristocrats decided to join forces to target Gu Fan and his group, attempting to achieve what even the Xue Wang had accomplished.
Li was somewhat worried and raised a question, "But didn’t the Xue Wang explicitly forbid us from troubling Gu Fan and his group?"
"That’s because the Xue Wang is afraid he couldn’t defeat Gu Fan and would instead infuriate him. Now that we are joining forces with the Northern Aristocrats, with elite troops at our disposal, I don’t believe we can’t eliminate them," Catherine confidently responded, adding, "As long as we can take down Gu Fan and his group, the Xue Wang won’t say anything."
