Chapter 1604: 1603 Negotiations

Tan Rou was surrounded by those Dawn Guardians, but this time they didn’t rush to attack her. Instead, they circled around her, as if they wanted to intimidate her.

“Miss Rou,” Gand said from the side, “you still have the chance to change your mind. I don’t want to hurt you, as it would pain me if you were injured.”

“Heh!” Tan Rou sneered. “From the tone of your voice, I thought you were going to send me on vacation.”

Gand smiled and said, “I could send you to the operating table for a three-day tour.”

“Keep that treat for yourself.” Tan Rou declined. “I’ll be leaving first.”

Gand didn’t believe Tan Rou could escape. “If you can defeat them, I’ll let you leave safely.”

Tan Rou didn’t need Gand’s reminder—she was absolutely going to knock these people down. They were just individuals controlled by drugs; there was no way she would lose to them!

“Let’s see how tough you all are!” Tan Rou roared, pinpointing a Dawn Guardian and charging at him like lightning.

This time, Tan Rou didn’t hold back. She used all her strength to attack the Dawn Guardians, and those sinister-looking guards were no match for her. She quickly took one of them down.

After felling a Dawn Guardian, a gap opened up, and she dashed through it, heading straight for the shooting training platform.

“Stop her!” Gand was a bit unsettled now. “If you don’t take her down, you’re all dead!”

The Dawn Guardians, having received the order, charged at Tan Rou like madmen. They were incredibly fast, but at that moment, Tan Rou was not slow either; she managed to grab a handgun before they could catch up to her.

“Don’t move!” Tan Rou held a gun in one hand. “I’ve just checked this gun, and it’s fully loaded. With my shooting skills, I can take you all out before you reach me!”

Faced with death, those Dawn Guardians who were still conscious didn’t dare to advance further. They looked at each other, then finally turned their gaze back to Gand.

Gand was nearly fuming with anger. He had spent so much time training these Dawn Guardians, and yet they couldn’t even defeat a young girl—what use were they to him? On the other hand, from another perspective, his judgment was still pretty good—Tan Rou indeed had not let him down.

“Miss Rou, let’s all calm down. If you have anything to say, we can sit down and talk about it slowly,” Gand said with a smile.

Tan Rou didn’t dare let her guard down for a second, as these Dawn Guardians were far more formidable than the patrolmen. “Mr. Gand, there seems to be nothing left for us to discuss. However, I am rather curious about one thing—why do you know my real name?”

“Someone told me, of course.” Gand said, sitting down quite relaxed. “Do you want to guess how you all got here? You and that noble princess.”

“Indeed, you knew our identities from the start,” Tan Rou said. “From the beginning, I felt that many things were not logical, like you never asked where we lived or about our family situations. I doubt the Dawn Society would be that careless.”

“Yes, your arrival was indeed planned by us,” Gand responded. “From the moment you entered that room, you were under our surveillance.”

“Were the patrolmen deliberately drawn there by you?” Tan Rou asked.

“That’s right,” Gand laughed. “Faler’s abode is not on a major route—why would patrolmen pass by there? At that time, our goal was not you, but the noble princess. We originally intended to use her as a hostage, but during that battle, we discovered someone even more valuable.”

“I guess I’m rather unlucky then,” Tan Rou said self-deprecatingly. “If I had run away directly, I probably wouldn’t have all this trouble today.”

“Miss Rou, I advise you to stop resisting,” Gand said. “This is my turf, and you won’t be able to escape.”

“I think I can escape,” Tan Rou’s finger rested on the trigger of the gun. “As long as I take you all out, I can easily leave this place.”

Gand’s expression became very serious. “Miss Rou, I think we can still negotiate.”
