However, with the added task of recruiting Allied prisoners, the trip will take longer this time.

...

While Zhang Lin was leading his team to clear out supernatural creatures and gradually absorb prisoners of the allied forces, Peng Bing also received the news inside Hope City.

"What? Ushikawa and most of the allied forces have been captured?"

Some lucky Allied deserters who escaped back to Hope City brought back news.

Upon hearing this, Peng Bing nearly died of anger on the spot.

He didn't care whether his useless son-in-law Niu Chuan lived or died, but the allied forces numbered over a thousand, which was his entire fortune.

They were all captured by Zhang Lin.

Whether they were killed or absorbed by Zhang Lin.

He lost a lot of money.

Peng Bing felt that things couldn't continue like this.

"Keep an eye on the house, I'm going to Hope City!"

He gave his men an order and hurried off to Hope City.

He wants to see the city lord.

Last time, he sent Niu Chuan to try and get the city lord's promise not to interfere in his fight with Zhang Lin.

The city lord did not even see Niu Chuan.

Are you kidding me? You're going to mess with my people and you expect me not to get involved?

The fact that the city lord didn't kill Niu Chuan on the spot is already considered a sign of consideration for the overall situation.

Peng Bing had originally sent Niu Chuan to test the waters, but the city lord refused to see Niu Chuan, indicating that the city lord valued Zhang Lin even more than Peng Bing had guessed.

His heart sank at that moment.

But Peng Yong was killed by Zhang Lin, a blood feud that stemmed from the murder of his son. There was no turning back for him and Zhang Lin.

But Peng Bing still harbored some illusions. He hoped that he could personally negotiate some terms with the city lord. He was willing to give anything, as long as the city lord agreed not to interfere in his struggle with Zhang Lin.

As long as the city lord agrees.

Then, he will gather all his strength, and the moment Zhang Lin returns to Hope City, he will unleash all his power, giving Zhang Lin no chance to grow, and kill him directly.

Having spent many years in the underworld, Peng Bing's decisiveness and ruthlessness were fully revealed at this moment.

However, when he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he still did not see the city lord.

"Excuse me, the city lord is currently meeting with an important guest. Boss Peng, please wait a moment..."
