Chapter 1682: 2 Masters
At this moment, Gu Fan and Gu Xiaojin had swaggered into the Demon Refining Island Base. Although Gu Fan’s identity was still under suspicion, both DNA and fingerprint comparisons confirmed one thing—this man was the Demon King, the leader of the X Legion.
Gu Fan put on an air of authority, casually asking, "So, how’s your progress? Have you found that thing yet?"
Someone immediately responded, "The volcano has already been handled. Several teams were sent in earlier, and we believe we’ll receive news soon."
"Oh, that’s good. You’ve done well." Gu Fan offered his praise, even patting a team captain on the shoulder in a gesture of encouragement to keep up the good work.
The captain asked, "The resistance forces are attacking us now—what’s your order on handling them?"
"Just hold them off. Don’t let them get near here," Gu Fan dismissed the issue with a simple reply.
Right at that moment, the rhythmic sound of high heels echoed through the hall. Hearing it, Gu Fan immediately knew who had arrived. He turned around, smiling faintly. "Ning Qi, I knew you wouldn’t miss the chance to welcome me."
"Of course. How could I pass up the spectacle of a lamb walking into the lion’s den?" Ning Qi replied smugly, looking at Gu Fan as if he were a fool marching into a trap.
The soldiers of X Legion were confused, stunned by this unfamiliar attitude. Typically, Ning Qi treated the Demon King with the utmost respect; this kind of demeanor was unheard of.
