Su Fan's mind had simply become more agile after learning the art of strategy; these matters were resolved with a little thought.
At this moment, a figure caught Su Fan's attention. It was a petite figure standing under a lantern, head bowed in thought.
Su Fan suddenly felt the figure was somewhat familiar.
"Xiao Yan, take a look at the person downstairs. Do you recognize her?"
Su Fan asked Xiao Yan curiously.
He wondered if it might be a disciple from Baiyue Villa.
Xiao Yan followed Su Fan's gaze and shook his head slightly.
"No impression."
Su Fan found it strange. Had he misjudged?
The other person was still looking down, so Su Fan couldn't see their face.
"Do you know her? If you do, invite her up for a chat,"
Xiao Yan said to Su Fan. He then turned and shouted towards the petite figure below.
"Hey! Come up for a chat!"
Xiao Yan, the simpleton, shouted directly downstairs, causing everyone to look their way, including the petite figure.
Su Fan's face stiffened the moment he saw the person's face.
Xiao Yan also felt the face looked somewhat familiar.
Then, with a jolt, his drunkenness vanished.
This was the Saintess of Baiyue Villa!
Xiao Yan looked at Su Fan as if wishing him good luck.
"Su Fan!"
Long Die exploded the moment she saw Su Fan.
"How can you be in a place like this!"
Long Die was furious to see Su Fan here. She hadn't expected Su Fan to be this kind of person.
"I... this..."
Su Fan looked at Xiao Yan for help, seeking his assistance.
Xiao Yan gave Su Fan a look of helplessness.
He then left with the young lady, showing no intention of saving Su Fan.
"Su Fan! Get down here!"
Long Die wished she could go up and beat Su Fan right now.
Su Fan quickly pushed Miao Miao aside.
"I have something to do, goodbye!"
Su Fan shouted to Long Die and ran out.
He couldn't let her catch him in the act.
Don't ask why Su Fan was afraid of her; she was the female lead. According to the plot, Long Die had already developed feelings for him by this time. Getting caught would surely affect future events!
Su Fan ran to the end of the corridor and jumped straight down from the second floor, landing outside the main entrance.
"Su Fan! Don't run!"
Long Die chased after him.
It would be foolish not to run.
Su Fan picked up his pace and began to sprint. His equipment had increased his running speed by 50%, and he was incredibly fast. Soon, he had left Long Die far behind.
"Su Fan! Don't let me catch you!"
Long Die shouted angrily in the direction Su Fan had disappeared.
After shaking off Long Die, Su Fan didn't have the courage to go back. He found an inn, booked a room, and went to sleep, returning to reality.
It was already noon in reality, and the sun was high in the sky.
With nothing else to do, Su Fan went to the Martial Alliance.
The base for the Martial Alliance had already been chosen. Dongfang Tingyin had generously bought an entire building. As for where she got the money?
She had taken out all the funds she could from Hongfan Jewelry, excluding Jiang Hongwei's share. She had also invested a large sum of her own money, and Jiu Di, Li Jun, and Wu Yun had also contributed. It had cost nearly a billion. When Su Bei heard about it, he insisted on investing as well.
Money was no longer an issue. Once the news was out, the Martial Alliance would rise strongly!
The building had thirty-six floors and covered an area of 2,800 square meters. It was currently undergoing intense renovation.
Su Fan arrived at the first floor. The renovation on the first floor was nearing completion.
Upon entering, there was a spacious lobby with a reception desk and a lounge area. On either side of the lobby were various counters, where warriors could receive all sorts of convenient services.
Walking straight in from the entrance led to the elevators, which could take you to the second floor.
Dongfang Tingyin planned to renovate the second floor into an exchange area, where items could be redeemed with points.
Above that were warehouses and a series of other facilities, which would require time to complete.
"Why are you here?"
Dongfang Tingyin, who was busy, suddenly saw Su Fan and asked with a strange expression.
Didn't Su Fan do a great job as a hands-off manager? What wind blew him here today?
"Just looking around. Aren't you welcoming? This is my territory, after all?"
Su Fan asked strangely. The territory wasn't even fully established yet, and Dongfang Tingyin was already rebelling. She had a rebellious spirit!
"Besides causing trouble, do you have any other use coming here?"
Dongfang Tingyin tilted her head and asked Su Fan with a smile.
Su Fan thought about it and felt she had a point.
"But you've come at the right time. Someone needs you to handle them."
Dongfang Tingyin suddenly said seriously.
"Who?"
Su Fan asked curiously.
The territory wasn't even built yet, and someone had already arrived?
"The Super Management Bureau."
Dongfang Tingyin said, then led Su Fan to the reception room.
"This is the boss you're looking for."
Several people were sitting in the reception room, and they were acquaintances of Su Fan.
It was Tang Xin and others who had previously gone to Su Fan's house to deal with the martial artist's corpse.
"It's you?"
Tang Xin also remembered Su Fan and was surprised to see him.
"Officer, is there something?"
Su Fan smiled and nodded at her, asking.
"The boss here is you? And this Martial Alliance, you're the one creating it?"
Tang Xin asked with a frown.
Su Fan nodded; there was nothing to hide.
Creating a martial artist organization domestically required approval from the Super Management Bureau. When Dongfang Tingyin submitted the documents, the Director of the Super Management Bureau immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
This was because their Super Management Bureau was also planning to establish a similar model. However, within the system, changing things was troublesome, and they had been unable to implement it due to funding limitations.
Now Su Fan had created something similar, and it appeared to be well-funded and invested heavily. If Su Fan succeeded, what would their Super Management Bureau do?
"Since that's the case, I'll be direct."
Tang Xin saw that the main party had arrived and didn't beat around the bush.
"Your Martial Alliance's model is somewhat similar to the new plan our Super Management Bureau is planning. I hope you can stop construction. An organization with this model will not be approved."
Su Fan frowned.
He was just about to create such an organization, and the Super Management Bureau's plan clashed with his? He found that hard to believe.
"I'm sorry, but I am determined to build this organization. If there are any unsuitable aspects, we can discuss them slowly."
Su Fan wouldn't give up just because of their words.
"There's no room for discussion. Either stop now and reduce your losses, or this organization will never be approved."
Tang Xin's attitude was firm, with a single word: No!
Su Fan frowned; this was becoming troublesome.
"Do you know who you're going against? Is this your decision or your director's?"
Before Su Fan could speak, Dongfang Tingyin was the first to question Tang Xin with an unfriendly tone.
"I am merely acting on orders to inform you of this news. If you continue to act this way, I have the right to suspect you of threatening me!"
Tang Xin stared directly at Dongfang Tingyin. Their gazes met in the air, and Su Fan felt sparks flying between them.
