The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Blanco was startled, but he quickly nodded: "It can be done, it can be done."

Then, with a bitter face, he said, "However, what kind of person is the head of the Duville family? Although I can send someone to deliver the message, whether or not it gets through is entirely up to him, so I... I can't guarantee it either."

Gu Ran: "It's good that you were able to contact the Duville family. It seems you are still somewhat useful. Just tell them that Kelly Duville, the Duville family's genius but useless general, is in my hands. If they don't want the Duville family to be disgraced and unable to become the ruling family next year, then they should connect to this communication immediately."

"Huh?" Blanco hesitated. Was he really that arrogant? Would the Duville family beat him to death later?

"Hmm? You can't do it?" Gu Ran frowned slightly. "You can't even pass on a message?"

"I can do it, I can do it!" Blanco dared not hesitate any longer. If he relayed the message, he might be beaten to death, but if he didn't, he would be beaten to death right now.

Soon, Blanco connected with the Duville family's communications, but it was clear that he was only speaking to the Duville family's external communications receptionist.

Of course, even the Duville family's dedicated external communication channel is not something that ordinary people can access.

Because Gu Ran was watching from the side, Blanco didn't dare to make much of a fuss and relayed Gu Ran's words almost verbatim.

To ensure the credibility of his words, Blanco had to reveal his job title.

Soon, another man appeared on the screen that had previously shown Yang Tian.

31. Afraid to kill? I'll kill him right in front of you!

The person on the projected screen was much older than Yang Tian, ​​with blond hair, blue eyes, a hooked nose, and a sinister look in his eyes.

He first scanned the scene in the control room through video projection, lingered for a few more seconds on Kelly Duville, who was trapped in the stagnant space, and finally focused his gaze on Gu Ran.

Although Gu Ran has not yet revealed his identity, he understands from the positions and situations of the various people that this extremely handsome young man is the one who needs his attention.

Gu Ran quickly confirmed that this person was indeed the current head of the Duville family—Finn Duville.

Finn Duville, as the head of the Duville family, one of the candidate ruling families, also had a need to promote himself, so his photos can be found in some newspapers.

Gu Ran had seen Finn Duville's photo while collecting all the books and materials he could find.

However, before Gu Ran could speak, Finn Duville preemptively spoke with an intimidating aura:

"No matter who you are or who you represent, in Saint-Joel City, no one can provoke the Duville family and get away with it!"

"You caught that piece of trash, so you caught him. You can kill him if you want, I won't even flinch. The Duville family does not accept any threats."

"But anyone who does something wrong must bear the consequences!"

"That good-for-nothing's life may not be worth mentioning, but he is still a member of the Duville family. If you kill him, the Duville family will immediately retaliate."

"No matter where you hide, the Duville family will find you and make you pay with your life, including your friends, relatives, and everyone connected to you. You will be implicated!"

"Of course, if you can abandon your foolish ideas at this time and be willing to become friends with the Duville family, then everything that happened before can be regarded as never having happened."

"The Deauville family will offer you the most loyal friendship, no matter what you want. The Deauville family has always been generous to its friends."

"Young man, you should think carefully before you answer."

Finn Duville's sinister eyes looked at Gu Ran, like an eagle eyeing its prey.

The air in the control room seemed to freeze. The officers and soldiers were trembling with fear. Even through the communication equipment, they felt suffocated by the pressure.

......

Outside the light screen.

"I had long heard that Finn Duville, the former head of the Duville family, was a very imposing man, capable of scaring people to death with a single glance. I never imagined that even from such distant memories, he could still exude such a terrifying aura."

"Yes, even I was momentarily stunned just now. Look at the other people on the screen, most of them were so scared that they collapsed to the ground."

"This is troublesome. It seems that Finn Duville is an extremely tough person. Kelly Duville is not only not a bargaining chip, but has instead become a nuisance that will incur the Duville family's wrath."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, some admiring Finn Duville's imposing presence, others expressing concern for Gu Ran.

Seeing the scene on the screen, Lin Fan was in a great mood and said with a smile, "You see, I told you, for these big families, unless it has a significant impact on the rise and fall of the family, no member will become a bargaining chip for others to threaten the family's interests."

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head slightly: "This is troublesome. We made so many promises to the Yang family, thinking that we could use Kelly Duville as leverage to blackmail the Duville family. Now that old fox Finn Duville has struck first and eliminated that possibility."

"Using Kelly Duville as a bargaining chip at this point would only make us a laughing stock."

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, it seems he's not going to use Kelly Deville to blackmail Finn Deville... Is he going to kill Kelly Deville? Has he gone mad?"

“How could that be? Killing Kelly Duville at this time would only anger the Duville family and bring no benefit whatsoever.” Lin Fan frowned as he looked at the screen. “Any smart person would not do that under these circumstances. The best course of action is to release Kelly Duville, befriend the Duville family, abandon the Yang family, and submit to the Duville family.”

“Even if he’s a bit stubborn, he’s not stupid. Even if he didn’t join the Duville family, he wouldn’t dare kill Kelly Duville. After all, that was when the tyrant was a child. His IQ must have been up to par, so he absolutely couldn’t—” Lin Fan, who wanted to say that Gu Ran would absolutely not “do such an unwise thing,” felt like he had been choked and could no longer continue.

He stared intently at the screen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

......

Let's go back a little bit.

In the light screen.

Gu Ran listened quietly to Finn Duville's words, glanced at the almost completely paralyzed crowd in the control room, and finally his expression changed slightly.

However, it wasn't fear, but rather a slight surprise.

Gu Ran frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows.

"So it's a psychic ability, huh? Tsk tsk, that's quite rare. No wonder it started by launching a barrage of verbal pressure at me."

"It's just a pity, Mr. Finn Duville, your psychic abilities seem to be underdeveloped and completely useless to me."

Gu Ran gave a faint smile, as if mocking Finn Duville's lack of skill.

Finn Duville's expression stiffened slightly, and then he gave Gu Ran a deep look.

Then, in a cold tone, he said, "You are indeed a genius, but countless geniuses die young in this world. Think carefully about what I said, and then give me an answer."

That posture suggested that he was certain Gu Ran had only one choice.

That means agreeing to his conditions and becoming a "friend" of the Duville family!

In the city of Saint-Joël, who could refuse to befriend the Duville family, who were about to become the ruling family?

He didn't make any definitive statements, leaving the other party with the option of "becoming friends" as a way to save face. This was partly because he was genuinely wary of making more enemies and causing trouble, and partly because he truly valued the other party's abilities and wanted to turn an enemy into a friend.

Of course, this is all predicated on the fact that the young man knows right from wrong.

Gu Ran's smile turned slightly cold: "I originally wanted to introduce myself first, but it seems Mr. Finn Duville is getting impatient."

"Very well, then let's begin our formal negotiations."

Kelly Duville suddenly felt the space that had been stagnant, making it difficult for her to breathe, suddenly soften.

He gasped for breath, then caught sight of Finn Duville's video feed and was overjoyed.

"Patriarch, you've come to save me? Haha, I knew he wouldn't dare kill me!"

Then, he glared venomously at Gu Ran: "Since you don't dare kill me, then kneel down and apologize to me! I'll let this matter drop. You wouldn't want your family and friends to be treated badly, would you?"

Gu Ran smiled at him, as if seeing off a good friend.

Immediately afterward, Kelly Duville felt a sharp pain in her body.

He looked down and saw blood splattered all over the ground, and his body had been split in two from the heart.

The pale green power crystal core at the heart had also split in two, completely destroyed, lost its luster, and fallen to the ground.

Kelly Duville was killed by Gu Ran using spatial magic?

And it happened right in front of Finn Duville!

How dare he? !

Everyone, both inside and outside the light screen, was greatly surprised.

32. Have you ever been an enemy of someone with spatial abilities?

Gu Ran's killing spree completely shocked everyone.

Because it makes no sense at all, and there's no need for it.

Moreover, Kelly Duville was killed right in front of Finn Duville after the head of the Duville family intervened and tried to persuade him. This was not just a matter of losing a core member, but also a slap in the face for Finn Duville, the head of the family.

Then the Duville family will inevitably be at odds with Gu Ran to the death, with no possibility of reconciliation!

What about the boast Gu Ran made to the Yang family earlier?

There is absolutely no possibility of it happening anymore.

So why did Gu Ran do this?

Could it be that the young man couldn't stand being wronged, first being threatened by Finn Duville with both soft and hard tactics, and then being threatened by that idiot Kelly Duville, so he killed someone in a fit of rage?

If it were someone else with an impulsive personality, people might understand, but who is this?

This is Gu Ran, the tyrant who transformed the originally powerless General Governor of the Human Alliance into the most powerful person in the world!

His actions shouldn't have been so impulsive and low-class.

"Could it be... that we all overestimated him?" someone murmured involuntarily.

If you think about it carefully, Gu Ran is indeed at the most impulsive and irritable age. His previous behavior made them temporarily forget his age and believe that he must have wisdom and ways of handling things that surpass those of his peers.

Therefore, my expectations for Gu Ran were a bit higher. However, I didn't expect that even Gu Ran couldn't escape the passionate impulses of youth.

"This is bad. It seems that Gu Ran and his sister will have to flee Saint Yor City in a sorry state, and the deal with the Yang family will definitely not be completed."
