Chapter 3927 Wilderness: I know a big secret about the [Shop]!

Every child dreams of having their own secret hideout when they are young... and Young Master Ge Fan is no exception.

This is Young Master Ge Fan's [base], a place where he feels safe.

Of course, he wasn't really sure whether his father, the governor, knew about this place—perhaps it was his father's tacit approval, or perhaps his father also believed that the child needed space to grow up... or even that his father believed that even if the child had some little secrets, he could keep them under control, so he never cared.

……

"May I ask your name?"

Back at his private residence, Young Master Ge Fan appeared much more relaxed... a sense of ease from the inside out, and naturally, the warm smile that used to radiate from him was almost gone.

"I've long forgotten my real name," the person surrounded by black mist said calmly. "Young Master Ge Fan can call me 'Dead Fire,' which is the name I always use when I'm traveling."

Young Master Ge Fan nodded, not paying too much attention.

Many immortals who walk through the void no longer use their former names, perhaps as a separation from the past, and also to signify a new life after entering the void—walking with code names was a very popular practice at one time.

"Young master, someone has arrived outside," Rost said in a low voice.

Young Master Ge Fan glanced at [Dead Fire] indifferently.

"My friend must have arrived."

"Dead Fire" hummed as it spoke.

"Guests are guests, please come in, Rost." Young Master Govan then gave the order... but in his heart he was silently calculating just how many layers of worlds were behind the [Deadfire] group.

The development of the [Kasyapa] world is currently underway, with all parties making intensive preparations. With the two colossal entities of [Heavenly Court] and [Heavenly Kingdom] already in place, individual investors have also begun their activities in this short period.

After all, the entire [Kasyapa's Journey to the West] is not simply a matter of each entity acting independently... The time it takes to pass through each layer of the world will affect the benefits of subsequent layers.

For example, the investment made by the small group facilitated by Young Master Gefan, Master Mo, is someone Young Master Gefan believes he would definitely not just accept tea from one party—after all, he is the [designer] of the most important first stage.

Young Master Ge Fan thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Lord [Deadfire] shouldn't have design authority, right?"

This guy lost the battle for the last layer of the world and didn't have the design rights... but he did manage to buy the last share of the beacon's profits, which is why he was qualified to participate in [Kasyapa's Journey to the West].

Otherwise, Young Master Gefan would not have paid much attention to someone who took the initiative to seek cooperation.

There's a fundamental difference between him seeking help from others and others seeking help from him, isn't there?

"I'm just a matchmaker," [Deadfire] said calmly. "Don't worry, Young Master Gefan, the team behind me will definitely satisfy you."

Young Master Ge Fan did not deny it... Just now, Rost had secretly observed, and according to Rost's special ability, the other party should not have reached the [Radiant Moon] level.

As long as he is below the [Radiant Moon] level, Young Master Ge Fan is confident that he will not need to rely on his father, the Governor.

As for Rost, as a death squad member whom his father, the governor, bought and raised from a young age, his strength is between [Radiant Moon] and [Morning Star], and with his special abilities, he should not be mistaken.

Soon, the friend that [Deadfire] mentioned came in, led by his servant.

He was wearing a long black robe, with a hood covering the upper half of his face... Young Master Gofan casually sized up the other person, while receiving a subtle glance from Rost.

This is a sign that things are safe.

As an aspiring entrepreneur, Young Master Ge Fan quickly stood up to welcome him—he genuinely valued talent, especially talent that could benefit him.

"Haha, what a lively evening!" Young Master Ge Fan chuckled. "Lord [Deadfire], won't you introduce your friend to me?"

Then the person who came took the initiative to slowly pull off his hat.

This was a dignified-looking face with a distinctive "fleshy topknot" and long ears... The moment he saw the person's face clearly, Young Master Ge Fan's gaze narrowed slightly. "You are, [Void Spirit Mountain]..."

"Hello, Young Master Gefan, I am [Visafu]."

Instantly, Young Master Gefan tensed up instinctively. "The third of the Seven Buddhas of the Past... Rost!"

After the exclamation, Young Master Gofan instantly retreated to Rost's side—and Rost, who was almost telepathically connected with the young master, was also ready immediately.

Vishav smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and moved his lips slightly.

A soul-stirring whisper continued to spread... The moment Rost came into contact with this whisper, he instantly became dizzy!
He roared in frustration, forcefully drew his sword, and slashed at [Vishav] without a word.

The opponent remained motionless until the very moment the blade was about to strike, at which point Rost's body involuntarily paused, and then he collapsed to his knees in a daze.

"Rost!!"

Young Master Ge Fan was both shocked and furious. After gritting his teeth, a powerful blood-red light erupted from his body. His pupils turned crimson, his appearance became even more handsome, and a pair of bat wings with pulsating pulses spread out behind him!

“I never expected that Young Master Ge Fan would possess the bloodline of the Void Blood Clan…” [Deadfire] said calmly at this moment, “However, as far as I know, Young Master Ge Fan’s parents don’t seem to be Void Blood Clan members, do they? It seems that the Governor has really put a lot of effort into your growth.”

"Release Rost!" Young Master Gofan's aura not only became eerie, but his voice also grew colder and deeper. "This is Saint Gloria Port, not Void Spirit Mountain!"

Even one of the Seven Buddhas of the Past among the high-ranking members of the Void Spirit Mountain!

But the whispers of [Visafu] did not stop, and even had a strong restraining effect on the Void Blood Clan bloodline secretly transplanted into Young Master Gofan's body!
However, the bloodline transplanted into Young Master Gefan's body was of considerable origin, and it actually withstood the whispering voice... Its palm transformed into sharp claws, instantly tearing a blood-red claw light towards [Vishafu]!

【Vishafu】calmly released his palm, and slowly struck out with the flower-shaped hand seal, which already contained the great power to completely imprison Young Master Ge Fan in his explosive state!

Roar--! ! !
Young Master Ge Fan roared angrily, and there were even faint signs that he was about to break free!

【Vishafu】 narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, saying, "A fellow once said that the greatest power of the vampires does not come from anger. Your anger will only lead you astray... Gofan, come to my side, and I will teach you how to truly use the power of the vampires."

"Don't even think about bewitching me..." Young Master Ge Fan was like a trapped beast at this moment.

"Young master, run!!"

At that moment, Rost, who had lost the ability to move, suddenly shouted, and then hundreds of faint cracks appeared all over his body... A terrifying destructive power was being released from Rost's body like a star exploding!

"Self-destruct!!" [Deadfire] was instantly startled, and the black mist on his body transformed into a set of ancient, jet-black heavy armor in an instant!

【Vishafu】 frowned slightly... However, at this moment, the faint cracks on Rost's body seemed to be forcibly pushed back by some invisible force.

The self-destruction state was actually reversed!
[Vishav] paused thoughtfully, and the whispering voice that had filled the air disappeared.

A deep, soft voice rang out from within the luxurious room.

"Now that you know I put my heart into it, how dare you... hurt my child?"

Space was torn open, and a one-eyed figure dressed in a navy blue military uniform walked out with his hands behind his back... a slender sword hanging from his waist!

"Father……"

"Your Majesty the Governor..."

What appeared was none other than the Void Sea Gateway, the master of the port of Saint Gloria, Governor Bradley!
……

Facing the most legendary immortal powerhouse in Saint Gloria, Deathfire couldn't help but lower his gaze the moment their eyes met.

【Vishav】said calmly, "Governor Bradley, hello."

Governor Bradley's gaze casually swept over [Deadfire], and in an instant, [Deadfire]'s jet-black heavy armor exploded, black blood gushing from his body, and he collapsed to the ground!

This terrifying power erupted in a scattered manner... [Deadfire] clearly couldn't withstand it!
【Visvabhu】remained motionless, the smile on his face not disappearing.

"This is the port of Saint Gloria," Governor Bradley said expressionlessly, "not the Void Spirit Mountain."

The same words, spoken by Young Master Ge Fan, carry a weight on a completely different level than those spoken by the legendary governor.

He squinted, staring intently at [Visafu], "[Saint Gloria] Port, while not a large place, is certainly not a place where your [Void Spirit Mountain] can preach... Get lost!"

[Vishafu] smiled slightly and said, "I have a connection with Young Master Gefan and wish to take him as my only disciple. I wonder what the Governor thinks?"

Bradley said calmly, "[Visafu], do you believe that with just one order from me, even a dog from [Void Spirit Mountain] will not be allowed to enter [Saint Gloria] Port?"

“It seems my destiny with Gefan has not yet arrived, what a pity.” [Vishafu] shook his head gently. “In that case, I have disturbed you greatly today.”

He clasped his hands together again, turned around and left calmly... Seeing this, [Deadfire] forced himself to stand up and silently followed.

Revenge?

Didn't you see his confidence? Even [Visvabhu] chose to back down at this point... He can only swallow this loss!
"Father……"

At this moment, Young Master Ge Fan clutched his chest and struggled to his feet... At the same time, Rost also silently got up.

Governor Bradley glanced at Rost, seemingly with a hint of satisfaction, and said, "Rost, you did very well this time... As a loyal follower, you stepped forward when your master was in danger, and you have passed the test."

Rost simply lowered his head silently.

"Father, I..."

The governor merely glanced at Young Master Ge Fan and said, "In the future, don't be too hasty in your actions. During this period, except for going to the Layer World, do not leave the port."

"I see."

The governor gave a soft "hmm" and then tore open the space between them to leave.

There was no scolding or reprimand, only a lukewarm admonition... Young Master Ge Fan breathed a sigh of relief with a complicated expression and slumped onto the sofa.

Rost silently walked out of the room.

……

“【Visabhu】...I never expected Bradley to show up in person…”

[Deadfire]'s injuries are not very serious—at least he can move around without any problems at this moment.

【Visabhu】gazing at the chaos of the void sea outside the port, said calmly, "Bradley... truly a legendary figure stripped from the fourth node, he is truly astonishing."

"What?! He actually managed to get into the fourth node?!" [Deadfire] was shocked upon hearing this—he had spent his entire life trying, and he had only barely managed to find his way to the second node!

【Visvabhu】did not answer 【Dead Fire】's question.

[Deadfire] could only awkwardly ask, "[Visafu] Lord, what should we do next?"

[Visva] casually said, "Aren't there many other destined people waiting for me to meet... Who's next?"

[Deadfire] nodded, "I've already found the person... I'll go prepare now!"

Even though the allocation was obtained through an agent, the share from [Void Spirit Mountain] was still too small. But if we think about it another way, does that mean that if someone didn't buy it at the auction, they can't [own] it?
What pilgrims give you isn't considered robbery—that's called a donation!
What a disciple gives is naturally called filial piety!
Anyway, the shop's rules are that once you leave, they don't care about you anymore...?
……

……

……

……

"...They left?"

When Miss Xizi returned to the hotel after the driver had driven around twice, she was told that her "friend" had already left. She was terrified and, without saying a word, hurriedly went out to look for him.

If Ms. Sherry is drunk, locking her up is fine... but if she were to run around in the streets—as a working-class girl, Ms. Xizi would instantly feel like the sky is falling!!
……

……

The moment the water flowed across each bright red welt on her skin, it brought a strange stinging sensation... Miss Sherry looked at her hazy, pus-filled body in the mirror through the steam and felt slightly annoyed.

How could I have such a strange constitution?
Taking a deep breath and wrapping herself in a bathrobe, Miss Sheryl finally pushed open the door and stepped out. Inside the room, the witch, who could be considered her half-companion, was sitting by the bay window, gazing at the bustling port city.

Miss Shirley chuckled softly, quickly walked to Xie Nan's side, reached out and lifted Xie Nan's long hair, cupped it in her palm and gently sniffed it, "Why don't you use the shampoo I gave you?"

"That happened so many years ago." Xie Nan said indifferently, like a customer who had just pulled out his virginity. "You slut, don't stay so long, your stench is getting to me!"

Sherry pouted, "Didn't you say it was too far to come? Why are you here again?"

"Do you have fifty million primordial units?" Ah Nan asked directly.

"...What?!" Sherry was startled by the question and stared at him warily, asking, "Did you lose money at [Eslord] or did you borrow money from loan sharks? I've already paid off over two hundred million for you!!"

"Never mind if you don't have it." Ah Nan said with a cool and sophisticated air. "I'll figure something out myself!"

Sheryl puffed out her cheeks, but still silently ran to the side, took out a ring from her clothes, and then took out a black Void Bank card with gold trim.

"You should save your money..."

Xie Nan felt no pressure at all and simply took the bank card... Her efforts far exceeded this, okay?

"I heard you've been invited to sing at the emperor's coronation ceremony on the [Science Side]?" she suddenly asked.

Sherry nodded, then frowned. "...Don't you dare have any bad ideas. If you disrupt the emperor's coronation, you witch can forget about ever stepping into the [Science Side] again! You know your own situation!"

"We'll see... I'll probably contact you again." Xie Nan waved his hand, casually picked up his coat and slung it over his shoulder. "The room is booked until tomorrow morning, get some rest, I'm leaving! Things aren't very peaceful in the port city lately, try not to go out unless necessary... Listen to me!!"

"You're leaving already?!" Sherry looked at this shameless woman in disbelief, who had eaten and taken everything and then run away!
*Snap*—The door slammed shut.

Sherry threw a pillow angrily toward the doorway, then lay down on the bed in a huff... and began to recall the story in the darkroom again, before curling her legs up.

……

The hotel... naturally, wasn't the one under its own brand; it was another high-end hotel in the port city—Xie Nan wasn't bold enough to play a restricted game on the boss's turf that might be broadcast live.

When she left the hotel, the witch's long hair had already turned back into short hair. After thinking for a moment, Miss Nan, who had returned to the level of an A-rank powerhouse, headed towards the Void Bank in the port city.

I wonder if I'll be able to access my main account at this point...?
The soul fluctuations are obviously in sync, so there shouldn't be any major problems!
After being set up, the maid didn't show up, and as for the boss... he definitely wouldn't see him when he came back this time—but that also meant that the problem wasn't too serious!

However, Xie Nan still felt a vague sense of unease about the sudden appearance of that "little prince"...

—I know a huge secret about the shop!

—You...don't want anyone else to know that I told you about this big secret, right?

"What the hell is this secret?!"

Ah Nan cursed inwardly at this moment!

That wretched little prince only told her: "I know the biggest secret about the [shop]..." That was all!

—Just tell me this big secret already!!!

……

……

The void... somewhere in the forbidden zone of deep space.

The great witch herself was organizing some equipment when she suddenly received a notification message from the Void Bank.

Then, the great witch herself widened her eyes instantly, staring incredulously at the display on the screen.

—Your account successfully withdrew 397.63 million at XXXX, and your current balance is 19.5.

"???"

Is this a scam text message?
It's a scam!!
It must be a scam...right?!
