Qin Jin and the others might not be fully aware of Juque City’s current situation, but Han Xu knows it all too well.
This time, the beast tide is even more fierce than the previous ones.
In less than a week, all the surrounding cities have fallen.
In less than two days, the beast tide will reach Juque City.
As a large city, Juque City’s defense strength far exceeds that of medium-sized cities, and there are quite a few A-level Awakened within the city.
But whether they can fend it off by then, no one knows for sure.
After all, there are quite a few large cities in Yan Country.
Each large city is now vying for strong allies, preparing for the impending beast tide.
With Chen Fan’s strength being so formidable and known to so few, Han Xu sees no reason not to win him over.
"I understand Chairman Han’s intentions."
Chen Fan nodded, "But as long as Anshan City hasn’t fallen, I won’t go anywhere."
"I understand your sentiment, Chairman Li."
Han Xu said, "But let me speak frankly, it seems unlikely that Anshan City will hold out. Chairman Li, you should know, with so many fierce beasts attacking this time and being repelled, the next wave will only be harder to deal with. I know, Chairman Li, that you are reluctant to abandon the people living in the city and leave them behind."
He sighed.
"Unfortunately, I’m just a vice president of a branch office in the city and don’t have much authority. Otherwise, I would definitely want to send people over to migrate everyone in Anshan City to Juque City."
Chen Fan chuckled silently at those words.
He couldn’t tell if Han Xu genuinely had such thoughts.
Or if it was just a ploy to win him over.
In actuality, he had considered doing just that.
With his strength, relocating the tens of thousands of people in the city wouldn’t be difficult.
The main issue was finding a place for them.
After all, not every city lord viewed ordinary people as companions like he did.
"Chairman Han, I appreciate your kindness. If Anshan City does fall, I would consider moving to Juque City, especially since I already bought a house there."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Really!"
Han Xu exclaimed excitedly.
With him joining, Juque City would be like a tiger growing wings!
"Yes."
Chen Fan responded, "Is there anything else you need, Chairman Han?"
"No, that’s all."
Han Xu said hurriedly, suddenly remembering something, "Chairman Li, you came to me a few days ago to exchange some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance your Primordial True Qi. Do you need more?"
"I do need more."
Chen Fan was silent for a moment, "But I don’t have enough points on hand to exchange for them."
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Awakened Association might not match those found in a Secret Realm, but they could still enhance his Primordial True Essence by one to two hundred points. Some even more.
And there were quite a few of them; just the branch Han Xu was in could offer heavenly materials and earthly treasures worth tens of millions of points.
Counting those from other branches, it could go up to a billion points.
"No problem."
Han Xu smiled and said, "If Chairman Li needs them, I can decide to lend you those heavenly materials and earthly treasures from our branch that can enhance True Essence. You can pay back the points later."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan was slightly surprised.
He hadn’t expected Han Xu to come up with this idea.
Having those heavenly materials and earthly treasures would certainly be beneficial, but it wouldn’t be a big loss if he didn’t get them.
Since Han Xu had offered, he saw no reason to decline.
Earning a few million points was easy for him, just by killing some fierce beasts.
So he agreed.
Han Xu sighed in relief.
He had been worried Chen Fan might refuse, but since he agreed, things would be much easier.
Actually, Han Xu wished he could outright give those million-value treasures to Chen Fan.
That way, their relationship would undoubtedly become even stronger.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have that authority, though he might try in the future.
"So, Chairman Li, when would you be available to come by? If you’re too busy, I can have someone deliver them to you."
"I’ll come by tomorrow morning."
Chen Fan thought for a moment.
Coincidentally, tomorrow he also had to go to Flame Emperor City to receive the Divine Demon Martial Arts and Observing the Universe Technique.
Stopping by Juque City wouldn’t be a problem.
"Alright, I will be waiting for you at the Association tomorrow then."
Han Xu said with a laugh.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xu breathed out, realizing his back was drenched in sweat.
When previously collaborating with Chen Fan, he hadn’t known his true strength and assumed even if Chen Fan was stronger, it wouldn’t be by much.
But after hearing Qin Jin’s report, facing Chen Fan felt much different.
Afraid of saying anything wrong that might upset Chen Fan.
"Chairman Li might be a bit cold, but he’s still easy to work with, just like before."
He muttered to himself.
He then walked out the door.
Lending out treasures worth over ten million points, he couldn’t make that decision alone. He had to inform the branch president.
Fortunately, his relationship with the president was quite good.
Once he explained the situation, the president would surely agree.
A minute later, he reached the president’s office and knocked on the door.
