After killing those Fire Mist Warriors who came to kill people and steal treasures, Fang Zheng found that his journey became much smoother.
In the past, wherever he went, there would be fire fog warriors who would sense the aura of Tilia's Red World followers and come to cause trouble. But now, wherever Fang Zheng went, before he did anything, he felt that the fire fog warriors and Red World followers there were running very fast, just as if they saw the big devil coming. Of course, in this regard, the fire fog warriors seemed to react more violently, while those casual Red World followers did not seem to be particularly afraid of him. Some Red World followers who felt that they had a "clear conscience" would even come to say hello to Fang Zheng, take a photo with him, sign autographs, etc...
Regarding this, Fang Zheng always had a feeling that after he killed those Fire Mist Warriors, the reputation of the Fire Mist Warriors camp dropped to Cold, while the reputation of the Red World Disciples camp rose to Friendly... Obviously, he had killed more Red World Disciples than the Fire Mist Warriors.
But Fang Zheng didn't care. Anyway, no matter whether it was the Fire Mist Warriors or the Red World People, they were not interesting to Fang Zheng. Of course, when it came to individuals, Fang Zheng felt that the Red World People were more attractive. Because the Red World People followed their own desires, their personalities were mostly independent and full of vitality. As long as they didn't harm humans, it was obviously more interesting to be friends with the Red World People than with the Fire Mist Warriors.
After all, except for a few specific fire mist warriors, everyone else is always talking about missions, revenge, etc... It's really boring.
But when Fang Zheng arrived in Luxembourg, they received an unexpected invitation.
An invitation from outside the hostel.
"How dare these people invite us to dinner?"
To be honest, Fang Zheng was quite surprised when he received the invitation letter from the room service attendant.
I’m afraid this isn’t the Hongmen Banquet.
"Are we going, Onii-sama?"
"Of course I'm going. How can I not take advantage of such a big offer when someone treats me to a meal?"
Fang Zheng was not afraid of the Hongmen Banquet, or rather, he hoped that the other party would hold the Hongmen Banquet, so that he could get more treasures... Oh, you see, it’s not that I’m greedy, they came to me on their own accord, I can’t just take a beating without fighting back.
But when Fang Zheng brought Tilia and Nanoka to the meeting place with full confidence, the reality disappointed him.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Standing in front of Fang Zheng, smiling, was a blond, blue-eyed, bespectacled, and gentle-looking man. More importantly, he was a human being, not a fire mist warrior.
Fang Zheng suddenly felt bored.
"Hello."
Although Fang Zheng was a little disappointed that he didn't meet the Hongmen Banquet he had been looking forward to, it was not a big deal for him. On the contrary, after the initial surprise, he became more and more curious. The Outer Residence was the headquarters of the Fire Mist Warriors, and of course there were humans assisting and managing it. Fang Zheng had heard about this from Shana. But...what was the meaning of these people coming to him?
"My name is Hill, and I'm the head of the Romanian branch of the Outer Space."
"My name is Fang Zheng."
Seeing the other party's outstretched hand, Fang Zheng also stretched out his hand to shake it. Since this man didn't seem to have any hostility, he had no interest in taking action again.
"This is Tilia, my lovely sister. That's Nanoka... well, you can think of her as my maid and student."
"Really?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's introduction, Hill politely nodded at the two girls and then made an inviting gesture.
"Since we're already here, why don't we sit down and talk? The meal is ready."
Fang Zheng doesn't like Western food. It's greasy, not filling, not healthy, and not very tasty. To be honest, if Fang Zheng had to choose, a bowl of beef noodles or fried rice would be the best choice to fill his stomach. If that doesn't work, even instant noodles with just a seasoning packet would taste better than those things.
But Fang Zheng also knew that people didn't invite people to western food just to fill their stomachs. The complicated process and small amount of food were originally prepared for negotiation at the table. Otherwise, if you serve a big bowl of noodles and then just focus on eating, what kind of business would you discuss?
So Fang Zheng didn't say anything, and took Tilia and Nanoka to sit opposite Hill. Soon a waiter came and served them the appetizers and wine that had been prepared long ago.
"I think Mr. Fang Zheng must be very confused when he received the invitation."
"That's right."
Hearing what Hill said, Fang Zheng picked up the glass and swirled the red wine in the glass while nodding.
"To be honest, I thought you had ambushed three hundred fire fog warriors here, waiting for us to come here and give the order, smash the cup as a signal, and then these three hundred fire fog warriors will rush out and chop us into minced meat."
Hearing this, Tilia did not react, but Nanoka trembled involuntarily. Then she looked around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no problem.
"Hahaha, Mr. Fang Zheng, you really like to joke."
Hill smiled bitterly and shook his head. At the same time, he also understood the underlying meaning of Fang Zheng's words.
"There are indeed Fire Mist Warriors who have similar ideas, but I do not agree with them."
As he spoke, Hill sighed.
"I don't know what you think, Mr. Fang Zheng, but for many of us in the outer dormitory, your ability to eliminate those fire mist warriors is really a relief."
"Why?"
Fang Zheng didn't react when he heard this, but Nanoka cried out in surprise. She stared at the man in front of her with her eyes wide open in disbelief, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"But, but they are Fire Mist Warriors... aren't they? Didn't they kill many Red World members..."
"Miss Bridget, you don't know."
Facing Nanoka's curious question, Hill sighed. If it was another Fire Mist Warrior, he might not be so easy to talk to. But Nanoka's background was innocent, and Hill had investigated her origins. She was an orphan at birth, and then was taken to the outside world and grew up there. It was only half a month ago that she signed a contract to become a Fire Mist Warrior, so in Hill's opinion, this girl was still a part of the human race, and it was nothing to say these things to her.
"Those fire mist warriors who attacked you before...To put it bluntly, we always hoped that they would die sooner."
"Why?"
"Because of their fight."
Hill spread his hands, his face gloomy.
"You may not know that the seven Fire Mist Warriors who attacked you before were all the most powerful radical members of the Eastern European branch. Every time they fight, they will affect a large area. These people will not stop until they kill the Red World members. Therefore, they have caused casualties many times... To put it bluntly..."
Having said that, Hill looked at Tilia, who was eating cake silently beside him, with some embarrassment, but continued speaking.
"They are not even as good as the Crimson World. It is true that the Crimson World eats us humans, but they only eat until they are full and do not cause too much damage. However, these Fire Mist Warriors will ignore everything for revenge! In many cases, the damage they cause is even far greater than the number of humans eaten by the Crimson World! Moreover, as long as the Crimson World devours enough humans, they will be relatively stable for a while. But what about these Fire Mist Warriors? They will start fighting as soon as they see the Crimson World! They have never considered the damage and losses in the end!"
As he spoke, Hill's face turned pale and his fists clenched.
"We have also protested to the headquarters outside, hoping that they can restrain those Fire Mist Warriors and stop them from acting recklessly. But guess what the Fire Mist Warriors said? 'We are protecting humans, and we have no choice but to cause casualties. Do you want us to let those Red World criminals go and let them devour more humans?'"
“…”
"What can we do?"
Having said that, Hill smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
"After all, we are just 'humans'. Without the protection of the Fire Mist Warriors and the Law of Freedom, we wouldn't even know we were eaten by Zhang Kaifeng Jue. Whatever we say or protest, will it be of any use?"
"Only when you have a gun in your hand can you demand peace."
Fang Zheng picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, then looked at the man in front of him with interest.
"Mr. Hill, I think you came to me not just to complain."
"It's just like you said, Mr. Founder."
Hearing this, Hill's expression became serious.
"I have an idea... It's like this..."
After listening to Hill's thoughts, Fang Zheng finally understood why the other party asked him to have this meal with him.
As Hill said, there are many humans in the outside world who are dissatisfied with the Fire Mist Warriors. However, the Fire Mist Warriors themselves are not very organized, and as Hill said, many Fire Mist Warriors have a sense of being a "superior" savior when facing humans. This makes these humans very dissatisfied, but they have no means to restrain the Fire Mist Warriors, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only endure it.
But then Fang Zheng showed up.
Moreover, he was ruthless to both the Red World and the Fire Mist Warriors, and his strength was also superior. More importantly, Fang Zheng acted with principles. In fact, Fang Zheng did not know that after he killed the seven Fire Mist Warriors, the outsiders all over the world found that both the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red World became more cautious in battle. Not only did the hot-tempered Fire Mist Warriors begin to find some uninhabited places as battlefields, even the Red World rarely devoured the power of human existence in large quantities as before.
Of course, they will inevitably have to hide in the sewers or alleys to eat a few people in secret, but there is no way around it. After all, the killing between people has not completely stopped, and countless people die in the dark shadows every day. Even if some of them are devoured by the Red World, it is much better than Kaifeng's ultimate move affecting the entire city.
In fact, compared to the Fire Mist Warriors, the humans in the outside world are more rational. They also know that it is unrealistic to expect the Red World to not eat people, but the most important thing is that they cannot eat people on a large scale.
Even for the people in the outside world, they think that it is better to be eaten by the Red World than to be killed by others. You know, countless people die every day because of gang fights or vendettas, and the deaths of these people will bring countless pain to their families.
On the contrary, the devouring of the Red World's followers can make them completely disappear from this world. Not only that, their death will not bring sadness and pain to their families.
From a certain perspective, this is even more "humane" than those human criminals!
And Hill's idea surprised Fang Zheng even more.
He hopes to form a tripartite force consisting of humans, fire fog warriors and red world disciples with Fang Zheng as the core!
