"Who sent you here?"

Zhang Lin instantly turned his head and glared at her, "The monster isn't coming for us, why are we meddling in other people's business?"

The city lord was somewhat bewildered and couldn't help but look at Xia Xiaonuan. "Are you sure what I'm saying is right? I have a feeling he's going to scold me if I keep going."

Xia Xiaonuan nodded.

The city lord could only continue, "I think it would be best to intervene."

Qiao Yu quickly replied, "The city lord is truly sensible!"

"Why are you being so nosy?" Zhang Lin immediately turned around and looked at him, coldly saying, "Anyway, I don't agree."

"You!" Qiao Yu was truly furious. What was going smoothly had been ruined by Zhang Lin, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer. "City Lord, I don't think it's necessary to involve this kid in our conversation, is it?"

The city lord hesitated, "There's no way around it..."

Qiao Yu immediately scratched his head. Who exactly was this Zhang Lin? How could he be so disrespectful to the city lord, yet the city lord couldn't do anything about it...

Is this an act?

But the city lord's aggrieved tone didn't seem fake!

Now that things have come to this, Qiao Yu has no other choice. He knows the monster must be nearby, and if they split up, no one will be safe.

But Zhang Lin was stubborn and refused to believe it. He was truly helpless and dared not gamble that the monster would let him go after they split up, and instead attack the people of Hope City.

Now, he only has one option left.

“Brother Zhang, City Lord, as long as you are willing to join forces with us to fight the monster, I am willing to pay any price…”
