Chapter 54

Hearing the man's words, the big man who had turned to leave suddenly turned his head, staring at the lean man who had spoken, and angrily asked, "Iron Monkey, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Gray Wolf, I'm telling you, the woman next to this kid is none other than the once-famous Task Queen, Gray Rose. Otherwise, do you think she could have survived with just a first-rank martial power? Now, this kid telling you that the woman next to him isn't a task woman, isn't that a lie?"

"Is that right, Miss Gray Rose?" The lean man Iron Monkey stepped forward, looking at Feng Yuan, and said with a cold smile.

Feng Yuan's face suddenly turned pale, showing a look of shame and embarrassment, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Iron Monkey's eyes!

"Hey, kid, is what Iron Monkey said true? I'm taking this task woman!" Seeing Feng Yuan's expression, Gray Wolf realized that what Iron Monkey said was most likely true. His face immediately showed anger, and he walked to Feng Yuan's side, pulling her hand without a word, and said angrily.

However, just as Gray Wolf was about to pull Feng Yuan away, he suddenly felt another hand gripping his wrist, stopping him in his tracks.

"I don't care if she was a task woman before. This time, she is my task companion, so you can't take her away!" Bu Fan extended his hand to block Gray Wolf and said calmly.

"What if I insist on taking her away?" Gray Wolf's anger intensified when he heard Bu Fan's words. He looked at Bu Fan and said coldly.

At the same time, he gradually increased the strength in his hand, trying to pry open Bu Fan's right hand.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Bu Fan's right hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping Gray Wolf's wrist, preventing him from moving an inch.

Gray Wolf was shocked. This young man looked frail, but he never expected him to be so powerful. With his fourth-rank Warrior strength, he couldn't break free from the young man's grip.

Gray Wolf hesitated. Was it worth it to confront such a martial artist over a task woman, especially when the young man didn't look much older than him?

Just then, the young man suddenly exerted another powerful force, so strong that Gray Wolf's wrist felt intense pain, and he involuntarily released Feng Yuan's hand.

"Thank you, Brother Gray Wolf, for your understanding. We still have a task to complete, so we'll be leaving first!" After shaking off Gray Wolf's wrist, Bu Fan didn't take the opportunity to mock him. Instead, he bowed and said solemnly, then led Feng Yuan and Zhang Ke forward.

Before leaving, Bu Fan indeed turned his head and gave Iron Monkey a cold, indifferent stare.

Realizing the gap in strength between himself and Bu Fan, Gray Wolf naturally wouldn't come forward to seek trouble. Besides, although Bu Fan had won, he had left Gray Wolf some face. If Gray Wolf were to step forward again, it would be suicidal.

"Hmph!" Gray Wolf coldly snorted at Iron Monkey and then turned to leave. Clearly, he had seen through Iron Monkey's provocation.

Iron Monkey ignored Gray Wolf's cold snort and just stared at Feng Yuan's departing figure, his eyes revealing a look of malice!

"Stinking bitch, wait, this time, I won't let you off easily!" After saying this coldly, Iron Monkey walked to the other side of the street.

"Do you have a grudge with that Iron Monkey?" On the way, Bu Fan asked Feng Yuan, clearly recognizing that Iron Monkey knew her.

"Um!" Feng Yuan answered in a low voice, paused for a moment, then raised her head, seemingly gathering her courage, and said seriously to Bu Fan, "Mr. Bu Fan, I want to leave!"

Bu Fan's steps paused slightly, and after a moment, he continued to ask calmly, "Is it because of Iron Monkey?"

"Yes, he is now a member of the Flying Eagle Team. The captain of the Flying Eagle Team is a sixth-rank Warrior, and he is very protective. If we have a conflict with Iron Monkey, he will definitely intervene!" Feng Yuan looked at Bu Fan and said softly.

Bu Fan shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, "As expected!"

To be honest, Bu Fan's personality is rather easy-going. Although he can be particularly stubborn at times, like when he stubbornly fought with Mad Tiger.

But in general, he tends to laugh off many things and doesn't overly pursue perfection.

In simpler terms, this attitude now means he has no great ambitions!

However, as a shut-in, he still retains the fiery passion of his online days, when he was a keyboard warrior, fighting for justice and righteousness through words!

Before his穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which can be translated as "穿越" in English, but in this context, it means "before he was transported to this world"), whenever something unjust happened online, Bu Fan would type furiously, taking on the role of a keyboard warrior, fighting for justice and righteousness!

At that time, although he wasn't strong in physical combat, his verbal combat skills were formidable. One could say that Bu Fan was a loving and righteous good boy.

Now, having arrived here and gained some strength, how should he handle this situation?

Actually, he could guess that after Feng Yuan left them, there would be only two outcomes: one, she would escape alone, fleeing from this cage, but in this post-apocalyptic world, where could a first-rank martial artist like her go?

The other possibility is that she would be caught by Iron Monkey, and then...

To be honest, Bu Fan didn't have much ill will toward Feng Yuan. Not only because she supported him when Wu Guang and the others wanted to abandon him, but more importantly, he felt that this woman was very smart, knew when to advance and retreat, and understood how to get along with others!

Moreover, in the matter of going on this mission, Bu Fan owed her a favor. Without her, it would have been very difficult for him to reach the supply point so quickly.

"Do you want to find Iron Monkey?" Bu Fan asked softly at this moment.

"Of course not!" Feng Yuan answered instinctively, seemingly harboring endless hatred toward Iron Monkey.

"Then follow me. After we complete the task, you can go wherever you want!" Bu Fan said calmly.

Hearing Bu Fan's words, Feng Yuan looked up in surprise, her face showing a look of gratitude, and she said with a slightly dazed look, "Thank you, Bu Fan, but I can't harm you!"

"You know the old saying, 'Live for today, who cares about tomorrow!' If it rains, let it rain; if your mother wants to remarry, let her remarry. Let it be! Now, let's go report and then complete the task!" Bu Fan smiled at Feng Yuan and continued walking forward.

On the other side, Iron Monkey also came to a dilapidated house. Inside the room, six or seven people were sitting silently.

"Where's the boss?" Iron Monkey asked a man nearby casually after entering.

"He's inside talking with Brother Da Xiu!" The man answered casually. Iron Monkey nodded and then walked to the side, sitting down with a cold expression.

For the next two days, Qian Shan will be attending a friend's wedding, so updates will temporarily be reduced to two per day! One update around noon and another around 6:30 PM!
