Chapter 41 (1/2)
Mu Fan’s heart lurched. Fat boy? Budokan? Then, there is only one, and that’s Harry!
Hearing these two people walking away, Mu Fan tilted his body slightly backward, sticking out half of his head. After seeing those two figures again, he quickly looked away.
How come this is related to Harry?
Mu Fan jumped down agilely without making a sound. Then, he pushed his body tightly against the wall in the alleyway and returned to the street that he was on. He poked out half of his body to peek at the two men, and he made up his mind,
He stopped following them as the two men were quite cautious, and it would be easier to expose himself once they were out of the district area.
This won’t work; I’ll have to discuss with Chubby Harry.
After thinking it through, Mu Fan turned around and bought a pineapple for three star coins at a fruit shop behind him. He slowly paced back while enjoying his pineapple; he was trying to blend in naturally with the environment.
“Mhm? This pineapple is so sweet!” Mu Fan squinted his eyes in satisfaction. He purchased it randomly for a cover up, and he didn’t expect it to be this juicy and sweet!
Mu Fan went back to that equipment shop while holding the pineapple in his hand. He smiled at the receptionists who looked a bit awkward, and he was then guided to the baggage area after telling the shop owner what he needed.
The exterior of the most popular outdoor backpack in the district was made with 1000D nylon, and the portion that would be in contact with the body was made with 900D waterproof polyester. The shop owner pounded his chest confidently as he told Mu Fan that this backpack was made with the best fabrics on Planet Loga.
Mu Fan disregarded the shop owner’s pretty words and felt the exceptional fabrics of the backpack. In the end, he clenched his teeth and took out the big portion of his fortune, 1000 star coins, before handing them to the shop owner who looked like he lost out on the deal.
Mu Fan never had thought that he would one day purchase a bag for 1000 star coins. He looked down at it before he put it carefully and checked the time. It’s almost the meet-up time; Chubby Harry should be back by now.
On his way back to the Budokan, Mu Fan bought a bigger pineapple. When Chubby Harry returned to the training room, he saw Mu Fan sitting on the bench, crunching down on a pineapple.
Chubby Harry felt like something was strange about what he saw. Mu Fan was just sitting there and crunching down the big pineapple with a serious expression, but something felt off.
“You’re back,” Mu Fan greeted him.
Chubby Harry walked over at this moment for some reason and asked, “Is it tasty? Give me a bite if it is.”
Mhm? Mu Fan blanked out.
“Oh, nothing. Um… It’s just a habit.” Harry’s face flushed red as he didn’t know what had happened to him!
Mu Fan generously shared a piece with Harry when he saw Harry blush out of embarrassment.
After the two finished the pineapple, Mu Fan wiped his lips and asked Harry in a serious manner, “Harry, did you offend anyone lately?”
“Nope!” Chubby Harry said while wiping his lips.
Mu Fan then told Chubby Harry what he saw, shocking Harry. After thinking for a while, he said affirmatively, “I definitely didn’t offend anyone because I rarely socialize with others; I spend most of my time on the PO Battle Network. You know that I’ve only started coming to the Budokan recently.”
“Are you leaving through the east gate of the district this afternoon?” Mu Fan asked.
“Yup.” Chubby Harry nodded his head.
Mu Fan tapped his finger on the wooden chair and said suddenly, “They exited through the east gate, and it seems like they’re camping out with the sleeping bags they’ve bought. The time and location they mentioned match your schedule and route perfectly.”
Chubby Harry got worried. “I didn’t do anything; who’s doing this to me!”
“Harry, I’ll leave with you tomorrow afternoon.” Mu Fan stared at Harry with the calmness that didn’t match his age, and he continued saying, “There’s one more thing that I noticed. Robbing you is only something that they are going to do on the side, which means they have something more important to do.”
“Mu Fan, that’s too dangerous. It’s best if I call some people over.” Chubby Harry felt scared that someone had their eyes on him. If it wasn’t for Mu Fan, then he probably wouldn’t make it after tomorrow.
Mu Fan pressed onto Harry’s shoulder and said, “Harry, trust me! I didn’t disappoint you with what happened with Young Master Wen, right?”
