Chapter 294 The Zhao Family
Zhao Xingwei did not dare to neglect, and answered truthfully no matter what Liu Jianan and the others asked.
It was not that he did not want to lie, and he did not know where the young man in front of him got the ability. As long as he lied, he would be exposed by the other party.
The price of lying was torn skin and flesh.
He absolutely did not want to try it again even once!
From Zhao Xingwei's answer, Liu Jianan gradually pieced together the truth of this trial city.
The trial city they were in should be one of many parallel worlds, and this was just a secret place in the parallel world.
This may be a bit complicated, but if the trial city is understood as a stadium, then every open gate can be the entrance to the stadium.
Normally, the stadium only opens the main gate, which is how Zhao Xingwei and his people enter the Trial City. So in their minds, the Trial City is their territory.
But during the competition, the side gate of the stadium is also open, and Liu Jianan and his people entered through the side gate.
Such people are collectively referred to as outsiders by the Zhao family.
The Zhao family has been entrenched in the Trial City for a long time, and almost all the inns and hotels in the city are their properties.
Every time an outsider comes, they have to pay a price.
Hearing this, Jian Kant said embarrassedly: "I thought the prices were all unified, but I didn't expect them to engage in monopoly."
It can be heard that they were cheated a lot last month.
Liu Jianan said to Zhao Xingwei with a hint of meaning: "Brother Zhao is not the kind of person who is only interested in profit. We are also strangers. Brother Zhao, won't you invite us to stay for a few days?"
Zhao Xingwei: "..."
No matter how stupid he is, he can't fail to hear the threat in Liu Jianan's words.
But it's good this way. When he returns to the Zhao family, the head of the family and the ancestors will naturally seek justice for him!
He is a branch of the Zhao family, and he was bullied by outsiders. He doesn't believe that the head of the family and the ancestors can sit idly by.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind me, I will treat you well." Zhao Xingwei smiled, but he wanted to cut Liu Jianan and others into pieces in his heart.
"Brother Zhao, what about the law enforcers you just mentioned?" Liu Jianan asked curiously.
Zhao Xingwei explained: "Law enforcers are strong people who maintain the stability of each secret realm. They all come from the central city and are very powerful."
If we continue to compare the Trial City to a stadium, then the central city is the world outside the stadium.
Law enforcers are police officers who run around various stadiums to ensure the safety of the people.
Zhao Xingwei said: "Lord Chi Yuan is the captain of this group of law enforcers stationed in the Trial City. His strength is completely immeasurable."
Is that so?
Liu Jianan looked at the data of clearing the first level in four minutes and was a little unconvinced.
When they were analyzing the bosses, Xu Zhaoxin had calculated the estimated time to clear each level.
The first level boss was a shadow beast, whose strength was equivalent to that of a second-level mutant. Even Huang Dabei, whose abilities and weapons were the most auxiliary among them, only needed three minutes to clear the level without Jin Wu and the others' participation. Of course
, the premise was that they already knew that the weakness of the shadow beast was the energy storage core on its chest.
Liu Jianan continued to look down. The second level boss, the shadow master, cleared the level in three minutes and forty seconds, and the killer was still Chi Yuan.
The third level boss, the shadow dragon god, cleared the level in five minutes and twenty-three seconds, and the killer was Chi Yuan.
The fourth level's boss, the Time Twister, cleared the level in six minutes and forty-one seconds, and was killed by Chi Yuan.
The fifth level's boss, the Shadow Guardian, cleared the level in eight minutes and seven seconds, and was killed by Chi Yuan.
That's the end. No one has yet cleared the next five levels' bosses.
Just looking at these data, Liu Jianan found it difficult to guess what Chi Yuan's strength was. It's very likely that he just didn't want to continue to break through the levels, so no one has yet cleared the sixth level.
It's also possible that Chi Yuan's strength is only enough to clear the fifth level.
We can only speculate after they meet the bosses.
The most urgent thing is to follow Zhao Xingwei to find a place to stay.
As for breaking through the levels, now that we're in, we're not that anxious.
Zhao Xingwei led everyone to the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is worthy of being the owner of the Trial City. The Zhao family villa directly occupies about one eighth of the entire Trial City, which is equivalent to 10 million square meters.
It is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
"Mr. Zhao, you are back." The bodyguard at the gate greeted with a smile, but was kicked away by Zhao Xingwei.
"Need you to tell me, you rubbish!" As soon as Zhao Xingwei returned to the Zhao family, his arrogant temperament returned.
Perhaps he felt that he had someone to rely on, so he pointed his finger at the security guard at the door and a group of servants in a bossy manner: "Go, take down these country bumpkins who offended this young master!"
Liu Jianan raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing? Guests are welcome, is this how you treat guests in your Zhao family?"
"You bunch of lowly outsiders, do you know who I am? You dare to humiliate me and seek death!" Zhao Xingwei pointed at Liu Jianan's nose, "You dare to force me to kneel! How dare you!"
Liu Jianan looked at him leisurely. He really didn't want to make a big fuss on the first day of entering the secret realm.
But there were always people who didn't have eyes and forced him to take action.
"How about this, as long as you kneel down and admit your mistakes to me, this matter will be over." Zhao Xingwei put his hands on his waist, thinking that he had won.
Liu Jianan sneered and was about to teach him a lesson.
But at this moment, someone shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in his early twenties rushing over. When the bodyguards and servants saw each other, they hurriedly saluted, "Young Master."
Zhao Mingxi waved his hands, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and panted and begged, "All of you retreat, I'm here."
Zhao Xingwei was still shouting, "Zhao Mingxi, you have no right to speak here. Everyone knows that you, a waste, will not live past the age of 25! This Zhao family has long been mine, why are you trying to show off in front of me!"
"My cousin Xingwei, guests are welcome. It's not appropriate for the Zhao family to treat guests like this." Zhao Mingxi didn't mind Zhao Xingwei's rude words and advised him gently.
Zhao Xingwei rolled his eyes: "Who is your cousin? Zhao Mingxi, you sickly person should not get involved. If I hurt you, I will be scolded by my father again."
"Xingwei..."
"Enough, I told you not to call me!" Zhao Xingwei simply ignored Zhao Mingxi and ordered the bodyguards and servants: "Why are you still standing there? Do it!"
In just a few sentences, Liu Jianan had already seen that the situation of this eldest son in the Zhao family was not very good.
But this was the family affair of the Zhao family, and it was not convenient for him to intervene.
But Zhao Xingwei openly provoked him and asked his bodyguards to beat them. He properly defended himself. Isn't this reasonable?
Liu Zhenan was about to use his supernatural power, but someone came to stop him: "Everyone, get out of here! Zhao Xingwei, I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to be the boss of the Zhao family!"
Compared with Zhao Mingxi's sweaty forehead, this middle-aged man who came later came in front of everyone after a few ups and downs, but his face was not red or out of breath, and even his hair was not messy.
Zhao Mingxi lowered his eyebrows: "Father."
Zhao Xingwei, who behaved eccentrically, had to restrain his temper: "Uncle."
Liu Zhenan understood.
It seems that this person is the current head of the Zhao family, the real boss of the Zhao family.
