C1141 Wishful Thinking
This kind of self-confidence was definitely not out of fear of death. A person who was laying the groundwork for his fear, this was something that could be shown.
Realizing this, he immediately confirmed the reason for Gou Dong's actions, which probably included his fear of Xu Fann.
However, he was sure that the other party wasn't doing it just because he was so sure of Xu Fann. It was very likely that he had thought of something just now.
"Brother Gou once belonged to the same Aurora Town Overlord as our Lord Fu Family. How could you have come back here out of fear?" Realizing this, he smiled and said to Gou Dong, "According to my conjecture, you must have encountered something and had to retreat."
"Or perhaps I thought of something that was even better than the method before. That's why I came back."
As he spoke, the scholarly man maintained his smile.
Compared to the scholarly appearance of the other two people, they didn't observe the other two people in the Fu Family as carefully as they did.
From their point of view, the reason why Gou Dong had retreated was because he was afraid of Xu Fann.
Thus, when they heard someone who looked like a scholar say such words, they were all stunned.
Unable to hold it in, they rolled their eyes. In their eyes, a scholar was purposefully raising Gou Dong up.
On the other side, Gou Dong was secretly vigilant against a scholar.
He had lived in the Aurora Town for dozens of years, had been an overlord of the Aurora Town for dozens of years as well.
In the past few years, he had seen many different kinds of things.
He had also seen many people with different personalities. Right now, he could be considered to have been honed to become an old fox.
Naturally, he could tell what kind of smile was fake and what kind of smile was real.
Because he knew this, he knew that the scholar's smile was real.
Because of this, he became even more vigilant in his heart.
One had to know that he didn't reveal anything just now, as he had thought of a method himself.
Yet, the other party was able to see through it with a single glance and was extremely certain that he had thought of a method. How could he not be astonished?
If not for the relationship he had with Fu Family, they would have become allies. He might even kill the other party without hesitation.
He believed that if he were to kill Duan Ling Tian. When their Gou family rises in the future, they can reduce the amount of trouble they cause.
However, his relationship with his allies made it so that he could only think about it.
A friendly smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Axe, you guessed right." He looked at the scholar-like person and said, "I did come up with a better idea than what I just thought of."
"That's why I suddenly turned around and returned here."
People who looked like butchers and people who looked like children didn't know what Gou Dong was thinking.
When they heard Gou Dong's words, they thought that he was just bragging. The word 'disdainful' immediately filled their eyes.
If not for the appearance of a scholar, they would not have been able to hold themselves back and would have ridiculed Gou Dong.
From their point of view, Gou Dong's so-called method was only an excuse for their fear.
Compared to butcher-like people, and people who looked like children. His scholarly appearance did not change at all.
All of this was almost exactly the same as he had thought before.
Other than fear, the other party did indeed come up with some sort of plan, which was why he had come back here.
"As expected of a person with the same reputation as Lord Axe from the Aurora Town. He truly possesses great intelligence." Thus, he looked at Gou Dong with a smile and said to him, "Brother Gou, may I trouble you to explain the method that you just came up with?"
The scholar's smile was as sincere as ever.
"Alright, I'll tell everyone then." Seeing the scholarly man reveal such an expression, Gou Dong nodded his head in agreement.
Then, he pointed at Xu Fann on the other side with his right hand.
"I believe that everyone retreated and did not dare to go forward because of Xu Fann." Then he followed along with Fu Family three, and said: "When we were worried about attacking Xu Fann, Xu Fann jumped off the wall in a hurry and suddenly took our lives."
"After all, no one wants to lose their lives."
At this point, Gou Dong looked around with a calm gaze.
Those who looked like butchers and those who looked like children quickly avoided his gaze.
Although they hated Gou Dong, they even hated him a little. However, they had to admit that Gou Dong was right.
It was indeed for this reason that they did not take action and allowed Gou Dong to take action.
Compared to the butcher-like people and the child-like people, the scholar-like people had extremely calm expressions.
"That's right, we are indeed afraid of him." He met Gou Dong's eyes and nodded. He frankly admitted, "Because even though we have hostages in our hands, no one can avoid the inevitable."
"With Xu Fann's strength, if he were to fight with us, he would be furious."
"None of us could withstand his attacks."
While they were talking, the scholar-like person looked at Xu Fann with interest.
When he saw Xu Fann, his eyes flashed with strong fear.
It had to be said that Xu Fann's attack just now was too terrifying.
Witnessing his own brother being defeated by a single punch from Xu Fann, he had already felt a shadow over Xu Fann in his heart.
Although Gou Dong saw the fear in the scholar's eyes, he did not notice it.
Wasn't he the same as the scholar? He was extremely fearful of the powerful Xu Fann.
In fact, he was even more afraid of Xu Fann than a scholar would be of him.
As for laughing at others, in reality, he would definitely not do such a thing.
"That's right." Knowing this, he nodded and said, "That's why I wanted to come up with a plan. Since we're all afraid of going to his side to attack him, he's anxious to fight back against us."
"Then why don't we change our minds and go directly to his side, causing him to be injured?"
This time, Gou Dong directly said what he was thinking.
Because of his words, he was not particularly direct. The butcher-like people and the child-like people didn't even have time to react.
"Are you dreaming? If we don't get by his side, how could he possibly be injured!"
"Yeah, if we don't do something to him, who's going to do anything to him!"
A mocking voice came out of the butcher-like man's mouth.1
When they spoke, the disdain in their eyes was even more obvious.
From their point of view, Gou Dong's idea was simply a pipe dream.
