“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Kuma said proudly.

“Either you are all going to die, or only that piece of trash is going to die. I don’t care whether you’re afraid or not,” Mo Fan replied grimly.

Kuma scanned her surroundings. She was a Super Mage. As a matter of fact, the Mailong Private Military Group had three Super Mages. Colonel Gavin was also one of them.

However, the terrifying shadows had already placed their axes on everyone’s necks. Kuma was totally unaware of when Mo Fan used his magic, or that he could just kill everyone in a short burst!

Either way, Mo Fan was right. The mercenaries were as helpless as useless dogs in his eyes. Once he gave the order, over seventy percent of them would die instantly!

Kuma was not afraid of Mo Fan. She actually believed she was stronger than the young man, but her men were most likely going to die!

“It’s your personal matters. I won’t intervene with it. However, I won’t do anything if you’re killed by him, either. Don’t overestimate yourself. You don’t want to mess with Gavin,” Kuma finally said.

Personal matters!

It was exactly what Mo Fan was hoping to hear. It was unnecessary for him to kill all of them. Luckily, Kuma still had enough brains to make the wiser choice!

The demon sprouts were the true cure to the illness. Mo Fan gave Ai Jiangtu, Lingling, Mu Ningxue, and the others the water he had boiled with the little plants. They all recovered in no time.

“I’ll do it myself,” Mu Ningxue told Mo Fan.

“Let me handle it. You’re my woman. I should show them the consequences of messing with my woman,” Mo Fan stated firmly.

Mu Ningxue did not say another word.

Mo Fan approached Gavin. The Colonel seemed to have some privileges in the group. A few female mercenaries were treating the wounds that Mu Ningxue had inflicted on him. Gavin was still unaware of what was going on.

“Don’t bother treating the wounds. He’s going to be messed up soon,” Mo Fan stood close to Gavin. He was staring down at Gavin, who was sitting on the ground.

Gavin looked up and burst out laughing. He said, “You already mentioned we have lost control of ourselves. You have such a beautiful girlfriend. I bet every man in the group has dirty thoughts about her. You are a man too, I bet you can understand.”

“Of course I do, I swore to make her my woman during our first encounter. Unfortunately, thinking about it and actually doing something are two different things,” Mo Fan replied evenly.

Wasn’t it normal for men to have dirty thoughts?

Mo Fan did not mind what the men in the Mailong Private Military Group were thinking. He could not care less about their lowly bets, either. Even those who were not addicted to gambling had taken part in the bets out of curiosity. However, only Gavin had tried to act on his evil thoughts.

Was it because he had lost control of himself?

Obviously not. He would do the same thing whenever he had an opportunity, even if he was not under the influence of the Mountain Frost Lotus!

“I can tell that you’ve done similar things in the past,” Mo Fan said.

“So what? Are you a cop or a judge? Go ahead and sue me. I’m willing to be jailed if I’m sentenced guilty,” Gavin answered confidently.

“Nothing happened to you before because the women you preyed on were too weak. However, it seems like you’ve used all your luck, since you’ve stumbled into someone you shouldn’t be messing around with, like me,” Mo Fan answered simply.

“You think too highly of yourself. Please enlighten me with your petty skills!” Gavin rose to his feet with a formidable aura.

Gavin was a Fire Mage. Flames burst out of his body and spread rapidly the moment he stood up. The others quickly backed away.

“You’ve made a mistake standing so close to me!” Gavin swore.

White tongues of flame burst out of his body. The flames from before were only little sparks that had leaked out of his body. The real deal was the blinding flame on his body. Even his blood and bones were visible under the bright flame. The blood flowing in his body was about to erupt like scorching lava!

The man was like a ticking bomb of wild flames!

The two female mercenaries were terrified. They quickly ran for their lives while Mo Fan remained where he was standing.

“You’re asking for it,” Gavin yelled when Mo Fan’s inactivity ridiculed him.

The flames exploded and surged wildly through the canyon!

The ground within the flames trembled from the force. The forest soon turned into a sea of flames. The steep cliffs collapsed, while the uneven landscape was scorched black.

The people of the Mailong Private Military Group were all well aware of Gavin’s strength. They had long moved to a safe distance and set up a defensive barrier. However, many people were still knocked flying and injured by the flames.

The closer they were to Gavin, the stronger the impact from the explosion. Mo Fan was only a few steps away. No one apart from Gavin could possibly survive the impact!

“I’m the one whom you shouldn’t have messed with, imbecile!” Gavin took a deep breath. His body was releasing white steam like a steam engine, cooling down after executing the powerful move.

The white steam dissipated rapidly. Gavin had a grin on his face. He began searching for the young man whom he expected to be lying on the ground like a dying dog.

However, he saw a dark figure only a few steps away from him as he was trying to focus!

For some reason, the figure’s outline was blurred like a phantom. It slowly returned to normal and reclaimed its color as time went by.

“You…you…you….” Gavin’s face twitched like he had just seen a ghost when he saw Mo Fan at the same spot with a mocking grin on his face.

The younger man was unharmed!

Even a Ruler-level creature would be knocked flying by the explosion at such a close distance, yet not even a corner of the young man’s shirt had caught on fire. How could he possibly be standing in the same spot and staring at him in such a terrifying manner?

“Colonel, isn’t it better to be alive?” Mo Fan asked him rhetorically.

“You…you’re a monster!” Gavin cried out in disbelief.

The Dark Aura circling Mo Fan thickened. It looked like his outline had grown deeper somehow…

He clenched his hand like a claw and swung his arm. The Elder of the Darkness Tribe that was attached to him immediately pounced forward like a starving fiend!
