Chapter 106: Dark Forces
“Where’s Xiao Zhu?” Huo Xuan changed the topic.
“Little Bamboo just asked Uncle Zhang to bring her back to the Huo family 15 minutes ago to pack a change of clothes for you.”
After Xu Huan said this, he tried to change the topic hurriedly.
“Brother Huo, big news! You would not have expected Little Bamboo to be the legendary leader of the Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon, Master Long! Besides that, many major things happened here last night before we returned to Cloud City!”
Xu Huan was very excited at this moment. He danced around excitedly as he explained the huge incident that happened last night.
After explaining the sequence of events one by one, Xu Huan seemed to have recalled something and suddenly pounded his fist on the bed. “Little Bamboo’s killing move last night was too amazing. She could defeat a hundred enemies by herself. Who would have thought that a skinny and small high school student would have such strong skills!”
In Xu Huan’s understanding, a girl of Mo Zhu’s age should stay at home and never leave her house. Besides studying, she would only watch television dramas and watch variety shows after dinner. Therefore, he was really shocked that Mo Zhu had such powerful abilities.
Originally, Huo Xuan could already be considered a genius in their circle, especially since he was able to expand the Huo family’s business field several times at a young age. However, this girl, who was only in her teens, was so powerful. This had completely overturned Xu Huan’s imagination.
Not only was Mo Zhu skilled, but she also had superb medical skills. Besides that, other than having the outstanding status of Master Long, she also had superb talent in computer skills that others couldn’t compare to.
Shaking his head lightly, Xu Huan sighed lightly again. “From the looks of it, Little Bamboo is indeed a good match for you!”
Upon hearing Xu Huan’s words, Huo Xuan calmly raised his brows. “Of course. Didn’t we already know that girl wasn’t simple? However, she’s still a member of the Huo family, and she’s also my fiancée. This little achievement isn’t worth mentioning.”
Xu Huan narrowed his eyes and returned to the accompanying chair. “However, Brother Huo, although the Du family has been uprooted by Little Bamboo, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Over the years, there have been many forces that have been secretly in contact with the Du family. I’m worried that Little Bamboo will be in danger.”
A cold glint shot out of Huo Xuan’s eyes. Xu Huan’s thoughts actually coincided with his. He pondered for a few seconds before shifting his gaze coldly to the window. “Inform the Dark Forces. In one week, they will take over all of the Du family’s assets and the forces behind them. Release the news that whoever dares to openly probe the Du family’s business and find trouble with Xiao Zhu is openly going against the Dark Forces!”
The Dark Forces was a power that Huo Xuan had personally nurtured in recent years after he had strengthened the Huo family’s influence. Although it was as famous as the Pavilion of Love in the pugilistic world, the difference was that the Dark Forces didn’t sell any secret information at a fixed price. Apart from the various families and cities that had the contact methods of the Dark Forces, it didn’t open up services for ordinary people.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Huan frowned and was a little worried. “Brother Huo, it’s not that I’m not worried about Little Bamboo’s safety, but if you do this, the secret department will be exposed. I’m afraid that in the future…”
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Xuan looked up and met Xu Huan’s eyes. “Second Uncle has been making some moves recently. He has put in so much effort to set up this trap. It’s time to reel in the net. Take this opportunity to quietly allow the Dark Forces to make its entrance. No one will suspect us.”
Xu Huan paused for a second. No matter what, he was still a good assistant who had been by Huo Xuan’s side for more than ten years. He immediately understood the man’s intentions. “So, Brother Huo, you want to lead them to think that the Dark Forces are from the Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon?”
Huo Xuan nodded and said casually, “That’s right. In this case, no matter what tricks the Du family has up their sleeves, they won’t dare to lay their hands on Xiao Zhu easily. With the power of the Eighteen Cities and the deterrence of the Dark Forces, anyone would have to think twice about their own abilities.”
“Impressive, impressive. I didn’t expect Brother Huo’s brain to work so quickly despite his severe injuries. You can even consider everything so thoroughly!” Xu Huan couldn’t help but applaud Huo Xuan’s arrangements.
“Alright, alright, stop joking. Help me up first.” Huo Xuan had been lying motionlessly on the bed the entire night. In addition, he had lost too much blood previously, so his entire body was now aching indescribably.
Xu Huan quickly walked forward and placed two soft pillows on the bed. After gently helping the man up, he placed the pillow behind Huo Xuan.
Realizing that Huo Xuan might have not eaten or drunk for a long time, Xu Huan poured a glass of water for the man and handed it to him. “Have some water, Brother Huo. Before Xiao Zhu left, she didn’t say if you could eat in your current condition. If you’re hungry, why don’t I call and ask her?”
He raised his uninjured hand and waved it gently. Huo Xuan simply moved his sore limbs. “It’s alright, I’m not very hungry right now. Based on my calculations, Xiao Zhu should be back in a while. Let’s talk about this later.”
Xu Huan nodded, picked up his phone from the table, and stood up. “Rest well, Brother Huo. I’ll go and carry out what we discussed earlier.”
Before Huo Xuan could reply, a commotion came from the door.
