Chapter 1224: Important Task

Somewhere in the forest.

“Fu Rou, why didn’t we beat them up earlier?” one of the Dragon gang members inquired.

He and the other members were unhappy with Fu Rou’s decision, so they wanted to know why she told them to leave earlier.

“Use your head before asking a question.” Fu Rou replied angrily. “First, they still behaved calmly and dared to make fun of us even though they knew that their opponents were twenty-one people. Second, that old bodyguard is not an ordinary bodyguard. You saw his skills and power, right?”

She then continued, “Only influential and rich families can hire a powerful bodyguard like that old man, so I suspect that they are from a rich family. Remember our goal! We are still not undefeatable now, so we have to act carefully.”

“But are we going to leave it like this?” the blue-haired man could not accept it.

“Of course not!” Fu Rou replied instantly. “Don’t worry. I will investigate their family and talk to our leader later. We will attack them if our leader agrees. If he disagrees, we will forget it for now. For now, not forever!”

“Alright.” The other Dragon gang members replied in unison.

What Fu Rou said made sense, so they suppressed their anger. For now, they only needed to focus on their goal, and their goal was to control Shanghai.

Of course, they knew that their goal was not easy to achieve because they were many powerful families in Shanghai like Xiao and Li families.

Xing Hanxian’s house, Backyard.

Xiao Tian and the others were sitting on the ground. They decided to take a rest after working for more than two hours.

Yes, they had finished their tasks!

Xing Ranqing’s Bodyguards helped them, so they could finish it sooner than they had planned.

“So, when are you going back to the city?” Xing Hanxian asked curiously.

“Whenever Crystal is ready to leave the forest.” Xiao Tian would get out of the forest immediately after Crystal was ready to leave the forest.

Xing Hanxian shifted his gaze from Xiao Tian to Crystal. “When are you going to leave the forest?”

“Maybe tomorrow.” Crystal gave an honest answer.

“I see.” Xing Hanxian suddenly felt a little sad after hearing her words.

They always spent time together every day, so he felt down when he imagined Xiao Tian and Crystal leaving the forest.

And what saddened him even more was that his granddaughter would return to the city in a day or two. 

“Grandpa, let’s return to the city. Aren’t you lonely living alone in this big forest?” Xing Ranqing tried to get her grandfather to live with her again.

“Elder, why don’t you go back to the city with us? With this, we can eat and talk together again later.” Xiao Tian also wanted to talk and spend time with Xing Hanxian again, so he tried to get Xing Hanxian out of the forest.

“That’s right, grandpa. Don’t you want to spend time with me every day?” She could not spend time with her grandfather every day if he kept living in the forest.

“I will think about it.” Xing Hanxian did not give his answer immediately.

“Huft! You are really annoying!” Xing Ranqing was unhappy with his reply because he always answered like that.

Yes, he always gave an answer like that since a few years ago, but he kept living in the forest!

For this reason, Xing Ranqing was unhappy because she was sure that her grandfather would continue living in the forest.

‘What is the pleasure of living in the forest? There are many wild beasts, and you will be alone later.’

She did not get it.

She did not understand the reason why her grandfather liked living in the forest. In her eyes, it was much better to live in the city than in the forest.

They could do anything in the city, including eating delicious food or hanging out with their friends.

Xing Hanxian could only rub his granddaughter’s hair when he saw her expression. Of course, he knew what she had in mind.

‘Should I return to the city now?’

He would think seriously about this later.

Shangbian City, Dragon Gang’s Headquarters.

Fu Rou was currently talking with her leader in the living room. After arriving at their base, she immediately told him what had happened to them earlier.

“She is from a powerful family, so let’s forget her for now.” the masked man uttered, “Our hands are full now, so let’s not make another enemy for now.”

“Alright.” Fu Rou agreed with his words.

“You also don’t have to look for Xiao Tian in the forest anymore from today onwards.” The masked man told Fu Rou to stop looking for Xiao Tian because there was no point in doing that now. 

Even though Fu Rou still wanted to find Xiao Tian and Crystal, she did not say anything because he was their leader.

“I have an important task for you now. This task will help us in destroying Xiao Tian and his gang.” after saying that, the masked man told Fu Rou what her task was.

“I understand.” Fu Rou rose to her feet before finally leaving.

Forest, Cliff.

Xiao Tian was currently sitting on the cliff with Crystal. 

After making a fence and talking with Xing Hanxian and the others, they immediately headed to the cliff.

“Xiao Tian, let’s go back to the city tomorrow,” Crystal spoke abruptly.

“Are you sure?” Xiao Tian inquired.

“Yes.” Crystal replied as she nodded her head. 

“Alright. Let’s meet them before leaving tomorrow.” Xiao Tian agreed instantly because Crystal was the reason why they were still in the forest.

‘I can finally meet them tomorrow.’

He was sure his mother and the others were worried about him because he didn’t give any news for a few days.

After talking for about an hour, Xiao Tian and Crystal returned to the cave.

Forest, Cave.

As usual, Xiao Tian and Crystal sat on the leaves near the bonfire. They talked about what they should do after getting out of the forest later.

At this moment, Xiao Tian had a wild idea.

He suddenly had an idea to attack other gangs and force them to become his slaves!

Yes, he would force them to help him fight the Dragon gang.

Sure, it was cruel, but he did not care about it. They needed more people to fight the Dragon gang because they had more members than his gang.

This was a world where the strong rule the weak, so Xiao Tian did not feel sorry for them because he would do anything to achieve his goals.

Crystal did not say anything about his idea because she knew how cruel this world was. She also wanted to destroy the Dragon gang, so having more people were better.

After talking for a few hours, they slept. The following morning, they went to Xing Hanxian’s house after waking up.

They did not make a fence again because they had finished making it yesterday. As usual, they talked in the backyard.

Because they would get out of the forest later, Xiao Tian decided to inform Xing Hanxian because Xing Hanxian had helped him. “Elder, Crystal and I will get out of the forest later.”

“Hmm?” Xing Hanxian was startled by Xiao Tian’s words.
