Chapter 1046: Do me a favor and make a bet

Gu Chen didn't care about what kind of earthquake had occurred in the superstructure of a certain European country. He just quietly returned to the rest area arranged for him by Staff Officer Sandy and locked himself in the bedroom.

After checking whether there were any monitoring devices in the room, Gu Chen went to the coffee machine, skillfully made two cups of coffee, and sat back on the sofa.

Place one cup in front of you and one cup opposite you.

"Zoffy, now that you're here, there's no need to hide. Come out."

After taking a sip of coffee, Gu Chen spoke to the air in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Fei's figure slowly appeared in front of Gu Chen. Then he sat down on the sofa and started drinking the coffee that Gu Chen had made for him.

"Mr. Gu Chen, do you know I'm here?"

After taking a sip of coffee, feeling the bitterness and aroma of the coffee spreading in his mouth, Zuo Fei looked at Gu Chen curiously and said.

"I guessed. After all, Taro came with me, so you, as his elder brother, should come with him. After all, in the eyes of us brothers, Taro is still a child, right?"

Gu Chen said calmly, without mentioning that he called him out because he sensed Zoffy's presence.

"As expected of Mr. Gu Chen."

Not only did Zuo Fei exclaim in praise, he also had the idea of ​​abducting Gu Chen to the Kingdom of Light in his mind, but he dismissed the idea the next second.

"Zoffy, can you please do me a favor?"

After silently accepting Zoffy's compliment, Gu Chen looked at the steaming coffee in front of him and said.

"What's the deal?"

Sophie asked curiously.

"I would like to ask you not to intervene in this incident. No matter how miserable the human race will be in the next battle with the monsters, please do not intervene."

Gu Chen's words were not going to stop until he shocked the world, and he made Zuo Fei confused with just one sentence.

Before Gu Chen spoke, Zuo Fei thought that Gu Chen wanted him to help destroy the monster when humans could no longer hold on, but he didn't expect that Gu Chen asked him not to take action.

"Then Taro..."

Zoffy thought about it and decided that if he didn’t take action, didn’t he still have Taro?

"Let Taro go. This is his experience and something he must go through. I believe he will grow after this."

As he spoke, Gu Chen picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

"But...is this a good idea? If Taro is defeated by the monster...do we really have to watch humans being slaughtered by the monster?"

Zuo Fei looked at Gu Chen, trying to figure out something from his indifferent expression, but unfortunately he couldn't read minds and couldn't tell what was in Gu Chen's mind.

But Zoffy doesn't need to have the ability to read minds, because Gu Chen will not hide anything from Zoffy on this matter.

"The Ultra Warriors have taken too much care of humans, which has led some people to have inappropriate thoughts. Zoffy, do you think there will be people who take advantage of the protection of the Ultra Warriors and start to act recklessly or wantonly?"

Gu Chen looked straight at Zoffy and didn't think there was anything wrong with revealing the dark side of human nature to Zoffy.

"But will this cost..."

Even so, Zoffy still felt a little bit reluctant at this moment.

After arriving in a European country, Zoffy saw how miserable people had been at the hands of monsters. If the situation continued to deteriorate, how could he watch humans die tragically one after another at the hands of monsters?

“Maybe the price will be high, but I think it’s necessary.”

Gu Chen said this, putting down the coffee in his hand, with a cold expression that made Zuo Fei feel very unfamiliar.

It was the first time he saw Gu Chen being so indifferent to human life, but he could more or less understand what was in Gu Chen's mind at the moment.

They are simply afraid that humans will go astray under the protection of the Ultra Warriors, and that it will develop to the point where humans and the Ultra Warriors will have no choice but to fight each other with swords.

But such drastic measures still made Zoffy feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the mistakes were made by a small number of high-ranking human officials, but a large number of innocent people suffered as a result.

"Can't we take a more gentle approach? I still think the price is too high."

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Fei shook his head and persuaded Gu Chen.

"In that case, let's make a bet."

Looking at Zuo Fei who still insisted on persuading him, Gu Chen said this.

"What are you gambling?"

When Zuo Fei heard that Gu Chen had the hope of changing his mind, he immediately became interested.

"Let's bet on how humans will react after Taro is defeated. Of course, if Taro can defeat the monster, then the situation you are worried about will naturally not happen."

Seeing this, Gu Chen slowly told him the bet.

However, for this bet to be successful, it is based on the condition that Taro loses to Mururoa.

The specific bet is to see whether people will be completely defeated and indulge in the darkness in their hearts after seeing Taro fall, or whether they will still hold on to hope and support Taro regardless of their own safety.

Of course, Gu Chen did not do nothing during this period. He would tell everyone at that time that the reason why Taro fell was because he lost the light. As long as he was given enough light, Taro would stand up again.

If people can really do this, then there will be no need for innocent people to sacrifice their lives for the few who have made mistakes.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Upon hearing this, Zoffy immediately agreed to the bet.

Because in his opinion, although Taro is young and does not have much combat experience, he should still be able to defeat this monster.

However, Gu Chen is pessimistic about this. If it was Mururoa in the original plot, Taro, who had undergone special training from Gu Chen and Zoffy, might be able to defeat Mururoa directly.

But now, guess why Mururoa disappeared and where did it go after it disappeared?

Others may not know, but Gu Chen knows it very well.

At this moment, Mururoya was enveloped by a black aura that came from nowhere, and his aura was growing little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, when Mururoa appears in front of people again, its strength will be increased to a terrifying level.

It would be quite difficult for Taro to defeat this more powerful version of Mururoa.

"Then let's wait and see."

Seeing that Zuo Fei agreed to the bet, Gu Chen didn't say much. After drinking the coffee in his hand, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

After drinking his coffee, Zoffy disappeared in front of Gu Chen and went to the ruins of the city destroyed by Mururoya to provide some help to those in need, such as rescuing those trapped in the ruins without being discovered.

As for Gu Chen who was resting with his eyes closed, was he really resting with his eyes closed?
