That day, Ning Fan reunited with Ouyang Feifei in Chen Fengnan's estate, where he had a message to deliver to her.
"I might have to go to Europe for a while, and I'll have to leave the affairs of the Shadow Team to you."
On the Phantom Guild's side, A-Jiu had already located Apollo's current position, prompting Ning Fan to decide to head to Europe to confront Apollo soon thereafter.
"What are you going to Europe for? Could it be that you've found Apollo?"
Ouyang Feifei was initially stunned, then quickly figured out what was going on.
Recently, Fang Guild had attempted to target Ning Fan, and they were secretly planning to eradicate the Phantom Guild as well. Ning Fan was certainly going to seek revenge for this.
Now that Apollo, the new leader of Fang Guild, was in Europe, it was clear why Ning Fan planned to go to Europe—it was definitely to deal with Apollo.
"Yes, my people have found Apollo. He's currently in a small nation in Europe and has become a distinguished guest of the local royalty."
In the royal family of a small European country, Apollo was there and had become a distinguished guest of that place.
"Several business tycoons will be negotiating there, and I guess that's also the reason Apollo is there. That bastard is wildly ambitious, probably even crazier than DiGulas and the others before him. These maniacs are always dreaming of conquering the world!"
Ning Fan spoke with a sigh. Not many were aware of why Fang Guild was established or what their ultimate goal was, but Ning Fan happened to be one of the few in the know.
Moreover, people in the Dark World could somewhat guess the grand ambitions of Fang Guild based on their style of operation. Now, with an even more aggressive leader at the helm, if they were allowed to develop unhindered, the world would definitely be in for a surprise under Apollo's leadership.
"Are you confident about this trip?" Ouyang Feifei asked with some concern.
If Ning Fan wasn't entirely sure of his ability to deal with Apollo on this trip to Europe, it could potentially end in disaster.
Just from the way Apollo had orchestrated the coup within Fang Guild, it was clear that he was no simple foe, and they knew all too little about him. With Apollo appearing in Europe, it was likely that Fang Guild's elite were by his side.
"I must go this time. Do you know what Apollo is planning to do?"
"What more can he do? Is he trying to rule the world now?"
Ouyang Feifei joked, but Ning Fan nodded earnestly.
Seeing Ning Fan's confirmation, Ouyang Feifei's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "No way, is he really that crazy?"
"He is indeed that crazy. He plans to unite the forces of North Africa to make a move on Europe. He doesn't just want to be the King of North Africa; he's also aiming for the whole of Europa!"
This was all from A-Jiu's analysis, and to be honest, when Ning Fan first heard about it, his reaction was nearly identical to Ouyang Feifei's.
Declaring war on the whole of Europe's powers, if things turned sour with the North African forces led by Apollo's Fang Guild, it could very well escalate into an overt war.
"NATO won't just sit by and watch, and the world's policeman certainly won't let North Africa's monkeys cause trouble in his turf!"
Ouyang Feifei sneered, indicating that the various powers in Europe were invariably connected with officialdom in some way, with some storied forces being supported by significant powers.
As far as Ouyang Feifei was concerned, Fang Guild's current ambition to consolidate North African forces against European powers was simply a death wish.
"But aren't they just mad?" Ning Fan shook his head and bitterly smiled. To be able to even consider such a mad scheme, he truly held a kind of respect for Apollo.
If they won, they would truly ascend to heaven in one step, but if they lost, they would plummet directly into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, with death being their only way out.
"The King of Europa, such a lofty ambition; no wonder you said you had to go."
Ouyang Feifei probably understood why Ning Fan was so anxious to go to Europe now. If after a while Apollo managed to consolidate forces in North Africa, then they would be difficult to deal with. By then, with numerous experts at Apollo's side, it would be even more challenging to face him.
"I need to go to Europe before he unites these forces. This guy is currently focused on this matter and certainly won't expect me to come for his life at this time. When his guard is down, that's when I will twist his head off!"
This time, Fang Guild's actions had thoroughly enraged Ning Fan, and Apollo had been marked for death.
Ouyang Feifei nodded, deciding not to persuade Ning Fan to postpone his plan, as striking at Apollo now seemed like an opportune moment.
"This trip to Europe will be fraught with danger. Do you plan on using the power of the Phantom Guild?"
"Not for now. I think Chen Fengnan will be happy to help me with this favor."
"...That's good, after all, with the Chen Financial Conglomerate behind him, he has quite a bit of influence in Europe. But still, you need to be very careful; I've always felt that Apollo isn't as simple as he appears on the surface."
"Don't worry, I never fight battles I'm not sure of!" Ning Fan patted his chest, confidently responding.
The matter was thus decided, and Ning Fan would soon make preparations for his trip to Europe.
"So I'll be counting on you to take care of the Shadow Team's affairs."
Ning Fan patted Ouyang Feifei's shoulder, wearing a smile that made her feel very helpless.
"I'm starting to regret it..."
