Chapter 82: Facing the Grey Wolf Gang Leader

Your mindset adjustment is surprisingly fast.

Gu Han smiled and made a teasing remark.

Not long ago, Wang Keyan still looked like she had lost all will to live.

Now she calmly accepts all of this, even having the mood to joke.

I just want to give it a try, at least do my part.

After Wang Keyan finished speaking with a smile, the dishes from Clear Spring Tavern arrived just in time.

The two people and two wolves immediately began to feast heartily.

The Flame Hound's appetite is huge; just it alone ate as much as Gu Han, Wang Keyan, and Little Wolf combined.

This scene made Wang Keyan secretly startled even more.

Unless there is a huge difference in size.

Otherwise, a monster's food intake and strength are roughly proportional.

This fiery red-haired monster, upon looking, is not the fire wolf she had guessed; it is a flame wolf.

And it might be an even more powerful similar monster!

Wang Keyan took a deep look at Gu Han, who is much younger than her.

No wonder this fellow has the confidence to not call for reinforcements and instead came with me to persuade the foster father to surrender.

Turns out he still has such a trump card!

Looks like this fellow's identity is not ordinary.

"It smells wonderful."

Just then, the long-unconscious Di Kai caught the scent of the food and slowly woke up.

But just as he woke up, before he could even open his eyes, Gu Han punched him unconscious.

Wang Keyan's heart tightened, and her face instinctively changed slightly.

Then she heard Gu Han say,

"I just knocked him out; you surely know this fellow can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth."

Gu Han, while eating and drinking heartily, said,

"If he says something unpleasant, I can't guarantee I won't kill him."

Wang Keyan's beautiful brows furrowed tightly,

"You're a military person; how can you kill without cause?"

The army of Ben Lang Guo is very particular about rules.

Even if Di Kai is indeed guilty, he must be taken back to the army or judged at the City Lord's mansion.

Gu Han snorted contemptuously,

"Rules are only for those who follow them; there's no outsider here—I killed him, so what?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Keyan glared at Gu Han with a grim face.

How could such a person who doesn't play by common sense appear in the army?

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from the private room.

Without waiting for Gu Han to speak, the private room's door suddenly opened.

Gu Han's brow furrowed, a strong sense of danger rose in his heart, and he immediately shifted toward the Flame Hound.

At the same time he rushed toward Di Kai, intending to take him as a hostage.

But a strong surge of energy suddenly hit, forcing Gu Han to stop his movement.

A tall, imposing middle-aged man swaggered in from outside the private room.

"Foster father."

Seeing the arrival, Wang Keyan immediately stood up and greeted him.

The middle-aged man was none other than the Grey Wolf Gang's leader, Di Ying.

Di Ying nodded at Wang Keyan, then glanced at Di Kai slumped on the sofa.

After confirming Di Kai was not in mortal danger, he pulled out a chair and sat down by himself.

Looking at Di Ying's upright appearance, Gu Han found it hard to associate him with such a despicable gang as the Grey Wolf Gang.

Next, Di Ying still didn't speak; instead, he poured himself a cup of drink and began eating.

Although Di Ying said nothing, he gave Gu Han a tremendous sense of oppression.

He had only felt this feeling before with Guan Shan and Guan Zhen!

If that surge of energy just now had hit,

Gu Han knew that even with his astonishing defense now, he couldn't escape losing an arm!

At the same time, Gu Han noticed that even the Flame Hound was no longer as relaxed as before.

It seems this was a bit overambitious!

Gu Han was on high alert, never expecting the Grey Wolf Gang's leader to be far stronger than he imagined!

At least the Great Martial Master instructor Deng Li would definitely not be a match for the Grey Wolf Gang's leader.

Gu Han's heart leapt up, thinking about how to preserve his life if the opponent attacked.

Not long after, Di Ying picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, lifted his chest and head, and sat as straight as a spear.

"Speak up, what business do you have with me?"

"I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation; otherwise, today's situation might not end well."

Gu Han felt wary in his heart, but showed nothing on his face, appearing still calm and composed,

"I am acting on General Guan Shan's orders to investigate the collusion with the enemy in Mu Shan Cheng."

"Based on the clues, I suspect someone inside the Grey Wolf Gang is colluding with Dan Ren Cheng, betraying Mu Shan Cheng's intelligence."

Gu Han said in a low voice,

"Now the Border Army of Mu Shan Cheng is already patrolling and screening inside the city, setting up a dragnet."

"I think we need to give an explanation, and I'm afraid it's you, right?"

Gu Han invoked the Border Army of Mu Shan Cheng; anyone else would probably feel wary.

But Di Ying merely gave a cold snort,

"Gu Han, if I'm not mistaken, your name should be this, right?"

"Although you are extraordinarily talented and unbeaten in the ten major rookie camps, are you treating me like those fools?"

"Guan Shan must have lost his mind to send you on such a dangerous mission?"

"With my strength, I could easily turn you into a puddle of flesh with a casual palm strike; even if Guan Shan were godlike in foresight, he couldn't possibly know it was me who did it."

Wang Keyan, who had been silently observing the two's conversation, couldn't help but startle when her adoptive father mentioned Gu Han's name.

She never expected that the youngster who had just defeated her not long ago would actually be the rookie who won the Ten Camps Competition's championship a month ago!

At that moment, Wang Keyan was instantly filled with a sense of shame.

The Ten Camps Competition, set up especially for rookies, was nothing more than child's play in Wang Keyan's eyes.

She didn't even have the mood to waste time going there.

But she, who was overconfident in her talent, never expected to lose to someone like this.

That is absolutely a disgrace!

Gu Han never expected that someone as strong as Di Ying, who isn't even a military person, had actually gone to watch the Ten Camps Competition before.

Since his identity had been exposed, Gu Han saw no need to hide any further.

He patted the Flame Hound's neck, and the beast, understanding, suddenly erupted with a fierce flame aura.

Di Ying's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Gu Han in surprise,

"Guan Shan's Flame Hound? Looks like I really underestimated you."

Just now the Flame Hound restrained its aura; even with Di Ying's perception, he couldn't recognize its identity.

Moreover, the Flame Hound can be considered a symbol of Guan Shan when outside.

This also means that Gu Han's actions were indeed carried out under Guan Shan's orders.

"Even if the Flame Hound isn't your match, you surely can't stop me from leaving here."

Gu Han clutched an escape talisman in his hand, smiling as he looked at Di Ying,

"You probably don't want General Guan to come looking for you personally, do you?"

Di Ying hadn't expected Gu Han to still have such a trump card, and he leisurely leaned back,

"Do you really think that with Guan Shan as your backing, you can slander my Grey Wolf Gang without any evidence?"

"Without evidence?"

Gu Han snorted coldly, taking out a coarse cloth scroll from his storage space,

This was precisely the city defense map he had snatched from Zhang San earlier.

His gaze icy, he fixed his stare on Di Ying,

"This is a map drawn by your Grey Wolf Gang's members; do I need to explain what these marked points are?"
