Chapter 2533: A Lone Warrior Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Zu Huanyao’s expression changed at the mention of the Sacred City. His face went from red to black. The strange thing was, his overwhelming Aura was fading away. It was still bone-chilling, but it was not as strong as before. Zu Huanyao took a deep breath and told the others, “The rest of you, give us the room!” “We can execute him on the spot! If the government asks about it, considering how he scolded you in front of everyone...” “Leave the room, do I have to repeat myself?!” Zu Huanyao snarled. The others had no choice but to pack up their stuff and leave the meeting room before Zu Huanyao lost his temper. Mo Fan and Zu Huanyao were the only ones left in the room. The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle circling above the desert. Mo Fan was already burning with anger. He had no intention to treat the man politely. There was no reason to be fearless after he was able to see beyond the facade! “I know why you are here. Take a seat and listen to me instead of barging into the room like a terrorist. Are you trying to blow up the whole place?” Zu Huanyao pointed at the chair in front of Mo Fan. Mo Fan was surprised by the old man’s calm after the scolding. On second thought, the old man must have been through a lot, too… “I just want to know who did it, and whether you colluded with those assh****!” Mo Fan snarled back. He just needed to know if the old man was a friend or an enemy. He was not in the mood to play mind games and politics. He had a list of people who had to die, regardless of their background and status! Mo Fan did not come here to investigate a murder, nor was he here to mess with the enemy’s conspiracies or plots. There were certain things he could not stand. If he could get over a person like Feng Zhoulong’s death just by saying that it was just how the world was, he would be no different from Feng Zhoulong’s murderers! If someone was on their knees for too long, they would not be able to stand again after their knees were rooted to the ground. The first conflict he had shared with the Asia Magic Association was during their operation on that mountain in Europe. Mo Fan had no choice but to leave when he was going up against a group of authorities who had taken the lives of countless children. He also could only stand at the side and watch the incident happen in the Sacred City. This time, Feng Zhoulong had died a meaningless death! Mo Fan was not going to compromise again. He wanted justice to be served for Feng Zhoulong’s death, even if the Holy Judgment Court was going to blacklist him. He had come here to execute the murderers, every person that was involved in Feng Zhoulong’s death! “The Magic Association in Guangzhou isn’t under my jurisdiction. Feng Zhoulong did not tell me about his request beforehand either, maybe because he thought I don’t really have a good reputation. Therefore, you shouldn’t vent your anger on me. However, I must say that I’m responsible for the loss of such an impressive man of our country,” Zu Huanyao said. “Who was the mastermind?!” Mo Fan demanded. “Rumors say it’s Salan. Most people assumed the Black Vatican was behind it to stop the innovation, but I believe it’s more complicated than that,” Zu Huanyao answered quickly. Zu Huanyao knew a lot of things, including the mentor and student relationship between Mo Fan and Zhan Kong. He actually felt sorry for Mo Fan. “I’m not an idiot, I know the way Salan does things better than any organization,” Mo Fan scoffed. “Feng Zhoulong brought a woman with him when he came to Dubai,” Zu Huanyao showed Mo Fan a photograph. It was exactly the reason why Mo Fan had come to Zu Huanyao. Zu Huanyao was a Councilman here. He had to have informers in the Asia Magic Association. Mo Fan was unfamiliar with the situation here, so he needed to ask Zu Huanyao for information about Sharjah’s whereabouts. “I want every piece of information about her,” Mo Fan demanded. Zu Huanyao took a deep breath and snarled, “Who are you treating me as? Don’t forget you have committed the offense of scolding a leader of the Magic Association!” “Cut the crap! Chairman Shao Zheng asked me to look for you because you have never been biased in serious matters like this. I know you all have your concerns and worries of the bigger picture, so you can’t just lay your cards on the table and fall out with the Magic Association! That is why I’m here!” Mo Fan hurled right back at him. “It’s true that I’ve been looking for the woman with Feng Zhoulong, but these are all I have. The trail stops at some noble families in United Arabia!” Zu Huanyao handed the information to Mo Fan. Mo Fan took the files. “Everything you do has nothing to do with us,” Zu Huanyao reminded him. “I know!” “And don’t think we are going to save you if you find yourself in trouble. You are going up against the most powerful people at the top of the pyramid,” Zu Huanyao warned him again. “I never expected to receive any help from you,” Mo Fan answered coldly. —— 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 Zu Huanyao sat down in his chair and looked out of the window blankly for a long time after Mo Fan left. “Am I really getting too old for this? Why am I thinking of how to mediate between the two sides after what happened?” Zu Huanyao murmured. “The enemy is already on a rampage, but I’m still sitting here like nothing happened…” If Mo Fan was aware of the significance of Feng Zhoulong, there was no way Zu Huanyao could not have been aware of the changes that Feng Zhoulong might have brought to their country. Zu Huanyao was not particularly surprised when he heard about the man’s death. He was more surprised at how calm he was after hearing the news. Even Zu Huanyao was starting to hate himself for it! However, he had no choice but to keep blending in while being disgusted by himself. —— As soon as Mo Fan left the tower, a woman whose face was covered with a veil approached him. Mo Fan stepped aside to make way for her, but the woman stepped to the same side too. Mo Fan went to the other side, but the woman kept blocking him. “I’m not in the mood,” Mo Fan said impatiently. “I am, though,” the woman blinked at Mo Fan. Her green eyes were quite dazzling. Mo Fan recognized her voice as she pulled Mo Fan to a corner and removed her veil. She was exactly the woman who had come to Mo Fan’s mind. The devastatingly beautiful woman was both sacred and alluring. She had the sanctified aura of a goddess, but she was brimming with seductive charm at the same time. “Fighting on your own again?” Asha’ruiya asked him. “Mm,” Mo Fan nodded. He was indeed fighting all by himself! “Then I guess you have a reliable and beautiful partner from today onward!” Asha’ruiya grinned, as if charmed by the idea that she was about to cause massive destruction together with Mo Fan.
