Mu Fan knew nothing about this!
Chubby Harry was here. Young Master Harry was a bit rushed on his way here, mainly because he woke up late.
He had heard the loud chitchat when he passed by the lobby, but he thought that it was normal for the Budokan with this many people; he didn’t care much and went straight upstairs.
Don’t know when Mu Fan’s going to go; I’ll have to talk him out of this.
Then, it was like deja vu when they first met as Chubby Harry and Mu Fan stared at each other without saying a word.
“You… you didn’t go yet?” Chubby Harry looked around and asked anxiously.
Mu Fan was sitting straight up, so straight that his back was almost curving backward. He scared Chubby Harry with his grimacing expression in pain.
This seems odd; shouldn’t Mu Fan be either in the individual training room or be in the virtual world with the optical computer helmet on? What’s this all about?
I didn’t do anything bad these days… Chubby Harry went through the schedule that he had over these few days and couldn’t think of anything wrong.
“Ahem, ahem.” Chubby Harry pretended to cough with his fist covering his mouth.
“Uhm, Mu Fan… What are you doing? Are you waiting for me?” Chubby Harry asked dully as his mind dazed off.
Mu Fan’s face suddenly twitched. “Siii… Ouch!”
Chubby Harry’s heart lurched slightly as he wondered, What’s with Mu Fan’s weird tone. Did he take the wrong medicine?
The intercom near the door suddenly rang. “Beep, Practice Partner Mu Fan, please answer.”
“Practice Partner Mu Fan, please answer.”
It was definitely the internal telecom of the Budokan as it repeated the call.
“It’s Mu Fan.”
Chubby Harry’s heart lurched seeing Mu Fan picking up without hesitation. Is Mu Fan going to head to Wen Zheming’s room now? Chubby Harry’s brows pinched together as he was about to speak up, but what he heard afterwards stunned him on the spot.
“It’s Charison, hahahahaha. Well done, boy! You’re getting an extra 2,000 star coins bonus today. Young Master Wen left in a good mood and even left some money for Man Kun and Jereff. That’s like a miracle! Jereff’s not crippled, so he can still fight, and Man Kun will be moved onto administrative duties. Boy, they should really thank you for this; you really did withstand Young Master Wen!!! You’re going to be the gold medal practice partner of our Starfall Budokan now! Hahahaha… Oh right, do you know what made Young Master Wen change his mind?” Charison’s laughter came right through as soon as the call was picked up. Clearly, he was in a great mood as he talked non-stop, and Mu Fan and Harry could only stare blankly at the wall as they listened.
“Uhm…” Chubby Harry opened his mouth softly.
“Uhm what?! I’m asking about what happened with Young Master Wen today?” Charison was displeased when he got interrupted, but he decided to forgive Mu Fan for his work today!
“This is Harry Fuwen, Manager Charison!” Chubby Harry got mad at Charison, who wouldn’t let him speak, especially when he was still in front of Mu Fan.
You are making me look bad!
“Ugh… Good day, Young Master Harry. I apologize; I didn’t know you were there as well.” Charison paused a bit, and then his attitude turned 180 degrees; he was fawning when he spoke up again.
“Eh.” Chubby Harry nodded in satisfaction. “Mu Fan is my practice partner, who’s going to be here if it isn’t me? You?”
Charison became speechless and politely said his goodbyes before hanging up the call.
Seeing Chubby Harry looking at him with glistening eyes, Mu Fan rubbed his nose and said unnaturally, “Uhm, it has been resolved… With Young Master Wen.”
Chubby Harry was stunned for three seconds. Then, he charged at Mu Fan’s legs. “You’re amazing! Come here!!!”
“F*ck off!” Mu Fan blocked Chubby Harry’s big face with his hand, pushing him away.
“What’s with your hand?”
“It’s injured. That Young Master Wen was strong when he unleashed his power, but I’m fine. The injury is lighter than it seems.”
Finally, taking in consideration of Mu Fan’s status, Chubby Harry dragged Mu Fan into the PO Battle Network with a legitimate excuse of letting his arm muscles rest.
