The news surprised Chen Fan even more.
He hadn't expected Luo Sheng to make such a wager with Dai Wei for his sake, especially since Luo Sheng was unaware of his situation.
Luo Sheng seemed to have guessed Chen Fan's thoughts. He chuckled and shook his head, "The Enforcement Hall has already harbored ill intentions towards me. I was planning to clear out my own ranks anyway. While losing the Enforcement Hall is a loss, being able to remove the pawns around me will make my future actions much easier."
"Moreover, this will also grant you peace. It's a win-win business."
Chen Fan frowned, "Losing an Enforcement Hall? Are you so sure the mission won't be completed today?"
Huh?
"What else?"
Luo Sheng looked at the calm and composed Chen Fan in front of him, stunned. "Brother Fan, could it be..."
Chen Fan stood before him with his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow.
"Could it be that you've divined for me again and know that there will be a variable today?"
Heh.
Chen Fan patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder twice.
It hadn't been easy to survive this long.
Chen Fan nodded affirmatively, "That's indeed the case. So, regarding the Enforcement Hall, you'll need to find another way to extricate yourself."
As Chen Fan spoke, he was already leading the way towards the Enforcement Hall.
Luo Sheng frowned, his expression one of deep sorrow, as he slowly followed behind him.
The Enforcement Hall was no stranger to the name Chen Fan.
His ears had been filled with it in the past two days.
Before, they hadn't been able to see it. This man was ordinary, so why would Luo Sheng treat him as an honored guest?
Now, this feeling was particularly strong.
"I heard that you proactively asked to accompany us this time?"
Chu Feng was a standout in the Enforcement Hall.
He was also the highest-ranking member of the Luo Sect present on this mission.
Chen Fan nodded, "Yes."
Chu Feng snorted and faintly warned, "The command of this operation lies with me from the Enforcement Hall. I hope you won't cause us any trouble when the time comes."
"Of course, if you get into trouble yourself, we won't rescue you."
"Understood?"
Chen Fan glanced at him indifferently, "Coincidentally, that's exactly what I meant."
Heh.
Quite the actor.
Chu Feng shot him a cold glance, then looked at Luo Sheng behind Chen Fan, "Young Master, two teams have been dispatched by the Enforcement Hall this time, totaling fifty-four people."
Luo Sheng nodded, "The cargo this time is special. I'll have to trouble everyone."
"Although I will also be accompanying you, please don't worry about me. Everything is secondary to the cargo."
Chu Feng responded, "Young Master, you don't need to worry too much. Our Luo Sect's Enforcement Hall is not made of paper. Even if Jin Chi Yan himself leads the interception, he may not be able to snatch the goods from me."
This was, of course, the best-case scenario.
Luo Sheng smiled and waved at him, "You've picked up cargo in the East District several times. No one knows the terrain better than you. All subsequent actions will be according to your arrangements."
Chu Feng was just about to discuss this.
He signaled to the two people behind him, and in the next moment, they unfurled a huge scroll for everyone to see.
Chu Feng stepped forward leisurely, "This is the terrain map of the East District near the port."
"There are a total of three routes from our location to the destination."
"Although we've already informed the Viktor Party and they've vowed to give us passage, due to what happened yesterday..." Chu Feng cast a cold glance at Chen Fan, sneering slightly, "This operation might encounter some unforeseen difficulties."
"Of the three routes, this central street can be ignored. After all, the entire Viktor Party's firepower is concentrated here. If we take this route, it would be equivalent to walking into a trap."
"This route is our original planned route. It's smooth and takes less time." But there are mountains on both sides, and they might set up an ambush here.
As Chu Feng spoke, he pointed to the mountain road he had in mind. "I suggest we take this route."
"Although the mountain terrain is treacherous and it will take longer, our Enforcement Hall brothers are highly capable. This is definitely not a problem. Moreover, the terrain here is open and lacks vegetation. The Viktor Party would never set up an ambush here."
"As long as it's not an ambush, we'll have a fighting chance."
Chen Fan frowned, "Let's take the original route."
He wanted to finish quickly.
He couldn't feel at ease leaving Chen Xing'er alone at home.
As soon as he spoke, Chu Feng's cold gaze swept over him, "Did you forget what I told you at the beginning?"
"Since you want to accompany us, don't interfere with the affairs of our Enforcement Hall!"
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, jeers from behind him targeted Chen Fan, "It seems he's afraid of making a fool of himself in front of us and wants to avoid the mountain route because he's not skilled enough."
"If the original route were feasible, who wouldn't want to take it! Don't you realize who caused this trouble in the first place!"
"This is a stroke of terrible luck! I never imagined I'd be on a mission with such a liability one day."
"Alright, alright, all of you, say less. Mr. Chen is the Young Master's guest. If you criticize him like this in front of the Young Master, won't it displease the Young Master with us from the Enforcement Hall!"
Chen Fan's gaze fell on the last person who spoke.
At first glance, his words seemed reasonable, but upon closer examination, they were most effective at sowing discord.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
It seemed, as Luo Sheng himself had said, the hearts of the Enforcement Hall members had long been scattered.
Chen Fan spread his hands, "Fine."
"I was just offering a suggestion. The decision on how to proceed is yours."
