Duke Hotel, luxury suite.
"Sir!" Paul cautiously entered the study, "Everything is arranged."
Moses nodded, then turned to head for the door.
Gan Yuan turned around, yet stood still, "I want to talk to you."
Moses stopped in his tracks, his voice calm and without emotion, "Delaying is pointless, you should know that no one can stop what I want to do."
Gan Yuan gazed at his back, "I only need one minute."
Moses turned around, locking eyes with her for several seconds, then raised his finger, and Paul immediately stepped out with several bodyguards, tactfully closing the door behind them.
Gan Yuan took a deep breath and slowly began, "Let’s make a deal."
"A deal?" Moses smirked coldly, "What do you have that is more valuable than their lives?"
Gan Yuan furrowed her brows, peering into his eyes, "The secrets of Red Flame, your documents are in my hands. Let me go, and I guarantee that the documents will never be exposed."
A flicker of something unusual passed through the depths of Moses’ eyes. "Did you read those documents?"
"It was you who taught me to hold a strong enough card." It was apparent that he cared deeply about the documents; Gan Yuan slightly relaxed, her gambit seemed effective. "If you still insist on taking me, the file will soon be leaked for the entire world to know."
Moses’ gaze flickered, he inwardly sighed with relief.
"Indeed, you are my best student, you remember everything I’ve taught you!"
Gan Yuan bit her lip, silent.
Their relationship had come to this point, and even if the document could restrain him, she still couldn’t feel happy about it.
"Pity though." Moses’ pupils gradually constricted, "That document, you’ll never be able to decrypt. A teacher always keeps one move ahead, and my code is one you can’t crack. So... the deal is void, you still have to come with me!"
Gan Yuan’s fists at her side tightened bit by bit.
"Very well, very well!"
She spat out three words through gritted teeth and, with an enraged expression, strode forward. When she reached his side, she suddenly twisted her body and swung a fist towards his face.
She had promised Huangfu Jue that she would rather die than leave him again.
If she simply walked away, what would he do, what would Gan Tang do?
Even if it cost her life, she was determined to make a final stand against Moses.
Moses dodged to the side, being a bit too slow, and was hit by her fist on the chin. He managed to avoid the brunt of the blow but was still grazed on the cheek by her fist, feeling an immediate burning pain.
Gaining the upper hand, Gan Yuan promptly went on the offensive, and Moses raised his arm to meet her. They clashed on the spot.
He had taught her how to fight, so Moses was, of course, aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She was the quickest and most agile of all his students, with only her strength inferior to his.
Gan Yuan knew this too and didn’t try to match him in power, instead relying on her speed and agility to spar with him.
She wasn’t in a rush to win, knowing it wouldn’t be easy, but there was one thing she was equally aware of—the other man would come.
She had deliberately played along just now to buy time; once Huangfu Jue went back and didn’t find her, he would surely come.
This was his turf, Moses wouldn’t be able to fight him here!
Gan Yuan could anticipate this, and Moses, of course, realized it quickly too. Seizing an opportunity, he kicked at her knee. Gan Yuan flashed to the right, nimbly avoiding it.
