Watch them leave.

Qu Jian'er turned her head to look at a corner: "Come out."

Zuo Chen strolled out leisurely, saying like a carefree playboy, "This wall isn't very comfortable to lean against. Oh, what's Ah Jian doing here? Is he waiting for me?"

He lied without batting an eye.

Qu Jian'er: "..." Come on, great mage, let's put this monster into the Demon-Locking Bottle.

Zuo Chen strode towards Qu Jian'er, ignoring her disdainful gaze.

He put his arm around Qu Jian'er's waist.

He glanced at Ou Muqing, who had long since disappeared outside the prison.

He is a smart person who knows his own limitations.

Qu Jian'er stopped bringing up Ou Muqing's matter: "After Ou Xiao's death, it's no use for the Black family to make any more trouble."

Zuo Chen stated a fact calmly: "They won't have another chance to jump."

He stared intently into the depths of the prison.

Dark emotions surged in his eyes, like a raging storm hidden beneath the deep sea.

Once you enter Area 11, whether you survive or not is entirely up to fate.

When you look up, the curvature of the lenses seems to emit a sharp, cold light, which makes you feel intimidated.

Qu Jian'er rubbed her head. Since that was the case, she would go and greet someone else. The original owner's luck hadn't been fully recovered yet, and she couldn't ignore it.

Zuo Chen: "I'll go with you?"

Qu Jian'er: "You go ahead and do your important business."

Zuo Chen: "Spending time with you is the important thing."

He showered her with sweet words.

He is a person who has achieved academic success.

But Qu Jian'er didn't pick up on someone's sweet talk; the empire needed Zuo Chen more than she did.

Seeing that Qu Jian'er persisted.

Zuo Chen didn't press the matter: "Alright then."

He showed no outward expression, but was determined in his heart to complete the change of royal surname within a day.

Zuo Chen watched Qu Jian'er walk deeper into the prison.

He dialed Blood Fox's contact number.

The empire today needs no dissenting voices.

He can't make everyone support him.

Time was of the essence, and special measures were needed for this special time, so he decided to close the net today.

Although all the big fish have been caught, not all the small fish hiding in the nets have been caught yet.

The operation quickly spread throughout the entire empire.

Some people who wanted to speak out during parliamentary sessions had their homes broken into by members of the Gray Web and Holy Sword, and their complaint letters were intercepted before they could be submitted.

This situation is playing out everywhere.

The drizzling winter rain, carrying a chill, drifted into the homes of everyone who disagreed with Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen looked at the list in the smart brain.

It is worth mentioning that all the noble students who had participated in the competition with Qu Jian'er stood on the side of approval without exception, which was a great help.

Of course, there are those who agree and those who disagree.

Zuo Chen stood in front of Ze Ye's house.

He got caught in some rain.

His wispy hair, combed back from his forehead, was damp and stuck to his forehead, but it didn't make him look disheveled.

Instead, it exudes an indescribable sense of intimidation.

A few drops of water clung to his handsome face, conveying a cold and aloof demeanor to everyone.

The Sawano family, undeterred, retorted, "How dare you trespass on a citizen's home!?"

Zuo Chen raised an eyebrow: "Arrest warrant in accordance with the law."

He exuded a coldness and sharpness like a long sword being drawn from its sheath, and when the Zeye family insisted on getting a clear answer, he placed the cold decree in front of them.

The Sawano family members protested, "Who knows if you just did this haphazardly?"

Dean Bai, holding an umbrella, said, "Uh, if even the gold seals are fake, then the empire wouldn't need to exist."

He didn't receive Qu Jian'er's message, but he knew he had to step forward at this moment.

This indicates his position.

Upon hearing this...

The Sawano family was completely disheartened.

Their information was outdated, and they were unaware that the Bai family, a powerful political clan, was standing behind Zuo Chen.

Now I know.

I felt only regret.

Ever since the Zeye family learned that the Han family had been tricked by their juniors and would never be able to recover, they had already made ample preparations.

You can only catch fish in troubled waters.

The Sawano family understood this principle well.

They had hoped to seize the opportunity to gather a new following and make a comeback, but unfortunately, the Lingte Bureau and the Holy Sword did not give them that chance, intercepting their gains just before they were about to succeed.

The Sawano family never imagined that the Zuo family would be the ultimate victor. The fruits of their labor, which they had painstakingly cultivated, were plucked by others before they could even be tasted; the Holy Sword and the Spirit Bureau intercepted the Sawano family's followers.

Reality shattered their hopes of making a comeback.

Not only did they fail to seize the opportunity to uphold their faith and rise above others amidst the chaos, but they also ended up benefiting others.

The Sawano family: "You've been watching us for a while, but you deliberately waited until today... You! Aren't you Graynet supposed to be public servants?"

Gu Xue smiled and said, "Are you angry? Are you furious? Look at your short and ugly figures, jump up and hit us! Public servants are for good people, but are you? You're stupid. We, the Gray Network, are better at double-crossing each other."

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit.

Gu Xue fully demonstrated this virtue, successfully causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter.

The Sawano family member's eyes were bloodshot as he laughed heartily, "You think you can rest easy just because you've captured us? There are many more people like us in this world!"

Gu Xue was so happy that he bent down. He was very curious about who gave the Zeye family the confidence that a small family's opposition would still be effective after the major families supported Zuo Chen.

He activated the AI.

He continued to stab people in the back despite the rain.

Gu Xue narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly: "The Black family, the Lan family, and down to your family, it's like the mud on the ground. Any effort you make will be beaten down by the heavy rain in front of a true strongman, and it will all be in vain."
