Chapter 1743: The Many Bully the Few
Gu Xiaojin furrowed her brows slightly, feeling that Ning Qi was holding back something important, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it.
The atmosphere was tense, war was imminent. Facing the enemy multitude, Gu Fan showed no sign of discouragement. Instead, he managed to smile, appearing calm despite being in a disadvantageous position.
Now it was Ning Qi’s turn to worry. She knew Gu Fan well and understood that his composure was not a façade; he had something to rely on.
Ning Qi took a good look around, seeing only Gu Fan, Gu Xiaojin, and Qian Xue. They were completely outnumbered by Organization X and, according to intelligence, there were no others around to help Gu Fan.
One remould person said, "Although you’re strong, Gu Fan, you can’t defeat so many by yourself, even the Demon King can’t do it."
In response, Gu Fan remained calm, smiled, and shook his finger, "Wrong, it’s precisely because I am the same person as the Demon King that I can say without a doubt that I won’t make any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood the source of Gu Fan’s arrogance — not just because of his immortality, but also because he was destined to become the Demon King, making him untouchable.
Ning Qi knew Gu Fan’s reliance wasn’t on the Destiny Stone.
Indeed, Gu Fan knows the Destiny Stone protects him, so he can act as he pleases. Although he dislikes admitting it, the Destiny Stone Body Guard is undeniably useful sometimes.
