Chapter 41 (2/2)

Harry teared up as he felt the sincerity of Mu Fan’s friendship. “Mu Fan!”

Mu Fan patted Chubby Harry’s shoulder and smiled.

“I’ll follow your car tomorrow afternoon when you leave.”

“Okay.” Chubby Harry didn’t say an extra word.

Mu Fan then quickly entered work mode as he scheduled Chubby Harry for two training sessions. The first one was the stamina training where he threw Chubby Harry onto a treadmill that he set for 10,000 meters, ignoring Harry’s cries.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan started to think, and it was rare for him who always hunted beasts by himself. Now, he wasn’t only thinking for himself.

“Okay… So the situation is that these two… have been watching Harry for some time… No! They’ve been keeping an eye on the rich people! Then, they noticed Harry, which means that they are always moving in the city district and are quite familiar with the environment.”

This was the first time that he was planning so thoroughly, and his head hurt from it. It would be much better if he could just go and fight them, but the half-hidden message in their conversation made Mu Fan feel like things weren’t so simple.

Sigh, my head hurts!

Chubby Harry cried out loud on the treadmill, “Mu Fan, my lungs hurt!”

Mu Fan scratched his cheeks as his brain automatically blocked out all the sounds, forcing himself to continue thinking.

“Keeping an eye on the rich people… And it is a mission? Which means that the mission is to monitor the rich people. It seems that they only sent these two… What does this mean…”

Meanwhile, Chubby Harry was about to fly away on the treadmill, but Mu Fan tied a rope around his waist so that he would probably be crippled if he really flew away.

Tears and snots slid down Chubby Harry’s face as he shouted, “Look at me, Mu Fan! Why aren’t you paying attention to me? I’m almost dying here…”

Wait. Attention!

A light bulb lit up in Mu Fan’s head.

“It means that their higher-ups’ attention isn’t here! Yet, they still have people monitoring this place. Because there are only two of them, they could choose to do things on the side without permission. The fat sheep that the shorter man mentioned is about this!”

Mu Fan suddenly whipped Chubby Harry’s butt, making the crying fatty stop making noises and run faster on the treadmill.

“With everything connected now… They are monitoring many rich people, and District 22 is only one of the locations… Robbing Harry is only an unimportant side job. Therefore…”

“A powerful force or someone high up in status is monitoring many rich people, and they are planning something big and dangerous. Harry who is being targeted now is also involved in this big plan.”

“Then, what I need to do tomorrow is… Save Harry, and then follow the lead to find out who’s behind all this… before saving Harry again.”

It’s decided then! Mu Fan rubbed his chin as he felt a thread was connecting all the loose pieces of information together in his head. It was a strange but fascinating feeling! He became extremely clear-headed.

“I don’t want to play anymore!” Chubby Harry’s voice sounded as sorrowful as ever.

“Oh.” Mu Fan clapped his hands and pushed the stop button as he said, “Why didn’t you say it earlier.”

Like a blanket, Chubby Harry fell onto the treadmill and covered it.

“Phew… I… I… I don’t want to talk.” Chubby Harry’s finger was shaking as he pointed at Mu Fan without any strength.

“So, you’re blaming me now?” Mu Fan was in a good mood because he had figured out everything, but now his expression turned a bit cold.

“Darn… you…” That was the last sentence that Chubby Harry said while still trying to catch his breath.
