Chapter 267 - 267: Debate

Song Fan was no longer worried about the act of killing. She had completely forgotten the panic she felt when she first became a mercenary.

She wasn’t inherently indifferent to life. Initially, she joined the mercenary group to cover her godmother’s medical expenses and performed perfectly on her first mission.

However, when the blood spurted out, Song Fan was stunned, and it took her a long time to recover after returning.

It was a soon-to-be-retired mercenary who consoled her. Since she chose this profession, she had to accept its inevitable aspects. There was no room for hesitation.

For mercenaries, any sentimental comfort was useless. They earned their living by taking lives, so remaining indifferent was the best approach.

However, the day after comforting Song Fan, that mercenary died on a mission. Such incidents weren’t unusual for a mercenary group, and there was no mourning for him.

Only Song Fan, following the tradition of Hua Country, established a grave and offered sacrifices for him before leaving the mercenary group, wearing a mask and moving alone until she eventually founded her group.

Gu Chen didn’t understand these past experiences, but he could see that Song Fan had been through a lot.

A 19-year-old girl who could pick up a gun without hesitation, chat with people after killing, and even plan a dinner date with Sasha as if they weren’t currently on a cruise ship engaged in a killing spree—it was all beyond Gu Chen’s comprehension.

Following them, Gu Chen found himself unable to join their conversation. They were too familiar with each other. A single glance conveyed what the other wanted to say, and they could keep up with each other’s unconventional thoughts.

For the first time, Gu Chen felt he couldn’t see through Song Fan.

He always believed that he could take care of Song Fan. But after so many things happened, he realized that he had been saved by Song Fan all along. It wasn’t just his body, but also his soul that she rescued.

In so many instances of life and death, it was Song Fan who saved him.

From initially being intrigued, he had come to believe in her completely.

Even he couldn’t explain why he had turned into this, but now, he didn’t want to know why anymore.

He was willing to follow behind Song Fan. As long as she needed him, he would immediately appear to help. He believed he held a certain position in Song Fan’s heart.

While Gu Chen was lost in his thoughts, Song Fan had already wiped out a group of mercenaries. Her subordinates began reporting on other mercenary groups on the ship.

“Are you planning to kill them one by one?” Gu Chen asked.

With possibly hundreds of people and not knowing how many groups were on the ship, it would take a considerable amount of time just to locate them. Sasha had brought many people, and they could easily split up to handle them.

Of course, Song Fan was aware of this. She shook her head and said, “I won’t tire myself out like that. Besides, we need to return to A City for dinner tonight. It’s just that these people ruined my Tango Fruit; I must settle the score.”

Upon hearing Tango Fruit, Sasha jumped up. “Boss, I’ve told you not to look for Tango Fruit anymore. No one can predict its side effects. The last person who used Tango Fruit has already gone crazy. Do you also want to end up like that?”

Before Song Fan could respond, Gu Chen asked, “Can’t she eliminate the side effects, even for herself?”

“Even if she were a deity, it wouldn’t be possible. That thing grows on the top of a snowy mountain guarded by wolves. It’s not something that can be casually used,” Sasha complained.

Gu Chen was relieved that the Tango Fruit had been destroyed earlier. He initially thought Song Fan’s medical skills were extraordinary and that she could use the fruit with confidence. but now he realized she had taken a risk.

“Don’t count on me to help you find Tango Fruit again,” Gu Chen made his stance clear. “I can fulfill any other request you have, except for that one.”

Song Fan didn’t expect Gu Chen to suddenly say such words. Despite successfully finding Tango Fruit for her before, he now declared that he would never assist with that again.

“Gu Chen, I’ve saved you with great difficulty, and I’m treating your illness. You’re ungrateful!” Song Fan exclaimed.

She didn’t care about anything else, but the Tango Fruit was the one thing she wanted the most, surpassing her desire for revenge against Song Yin and her daughter.

Gu Chen was the first person to successfully find the Tango Fruit, and if he didn’t help, Song Fan didn’t know when she would find another one..
