Where is this?
Zhao Feng slowly woke up. Jiang Yuan, who was sitting next to him watching the smart device, didn't even look up and said, "The Zhao family, the home of your cheap father."
"How could it be the Zhao family?" Zhao Feng was somewhat confused. He had forgotten part of the battle; all he knew was that he was furious, so furious that he had lost the ability to think.
"Just focus on recovering. Your mother has been brought here!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, but after a pause, he added, "However, if you want to maintain your current position, you still need to demonstrate your value."
"The Zhao family has accepted me?" Zhao Feng's expression changed, and the hatred he had harbored for the past seemed to lessen.
Jiang Yuan observed all of Zhao Feng's changes and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. This Zhao Feng was different from what he had imagined. He had initially thought that being abandoned by the Zhao family would make him hate them, but now it seemed quite the opposite. Precisely because he had been abandoned by the Zhao family, Zhao Feng's feelings towards them were complex. What he held in his heart wasn't hatred, but rather a desire to gain the Zhao family's approval. Therefore, when he was accepted by the Zhao family, his behavior was exactly the opposite of before; there was no hatred, but rather even greater loyalty.
"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself after all!"
At this moment, Jiang Yuan had already given up on Zhao Feng. Now that he had infiltrated the Zhao family and gained Zhao Runnian's trust, there was no need to use Zhao Feng anymore. He could find out on his own whether the Zhao family had any connection with other races and was doing things that betrayed their own kind.
"Brother Aoki, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to come back here in my entire life!" Zhao Feng said gratefully.
"You owe me a favor. I'll contact you if I need anything!"
After shutting down the AI, Jiang Yuan left Zhao Feng's room. He couldn't stay in Dongcheng for too long, so this mission had to be completed between the two of them. Now, he had to investigate the Zhao family's affairs.
Walking through the Zhao family compound, he couldn't help but lament the enormous wealth gap after the catastrophe. Families like the Zhao family, possessing divine realm power, could easily occupy a large area within the safe zone, while the newly awakened weaklings could only huddle in dark, damp corners like insects, barely surviving.
"Who are you?"
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to enter a construction site that had not yet been built, several fully armed security guards stopped him.
"I am Young Master Zhao's friend!" Jiang Yuan stated his identity. His intuition told him that this construction site, surrounded by green iron sheets, held a secret that no one knew about.
"Young Master Zhao? Are you a friend of the eldest young master?" the security guard asked tentatively.
"What, does the Zhao family only have one young master?" Jiang Yuan said coldly. Zhao Runnian had three sons. Zhao Zhen was the second son, and Zhao Gang, who was at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, was the eldest son and was quite powerful.
"And who are you?" The security guard was unsure of Jiang Yuan's confidence and could only continue to probe for information.
"I'm a friend of your third young master, Zhao Feng!" Jiang Yuan didn't give them a friendly look, and his tone even sounded like he was scolding the two security guards.
"Zhao Feng! Is that the talented third young master who just returned?" The security guard's expression changed drastically. As security guards, they naturally knew about the incident during the day when the illegitimate son of the Zhao family head caused a scene at the Zhao family.
"Good to know. Get out of the way and don't delay the Third Young Master's business!" Jiang Yuan said, taking advantage of the situation.
"this……"
The two security guards hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Yuan became even more arrogant, saying, "Two outsiders, you dare to stop the Third Young Master's people? You don't want to stay here anymore, do you!"
"No, no, no, sir, please calm down. That's not what we meant. It's just that we haven't been authorized yet, and we're not sure if we can let the young master's people through!" One of the security guards immediately lowered his posture and apologized.
"Heh, so you're saying that the Third Young Master is dispensable in this family, right?" Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
"Shut up!" Another security guard quickly shoved the one who was speaking aside, then fawned over Jiang Yuan, saying, "Sir, we'll let you through right away. We hope you'll put in a good word for us two brothers with the Third Young Master!"
The protective array was removed, and the two men bowed and scraped to Jiang Yuan.
“Alright, although the Third Young Master is very talented, his foundation is still shallow. He does need to build his own power to gain a place in the Zhao family. I will recommend you to the Third Young Master!” Jiang Yuan gave the two a promise and then calmly walked into the undeveloped construction site.
As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the construction site, he activated the disguise ability of his divine power. After taking a few steps, he discovered the trickery of this place. Beneath this unfinished factory, there was a huge underground palace, which must be the core location of the Zhao family.
"I'd like to see if your Zhao family has colluded with any foreign races!"
The information provided by Tianfu Military Network is not clear. Normally, such infiltration work requires a long period of preparation, but this time the spies colluded with the alien race very quickly, making it impossible to plan for a long time. The only option is to send people to forcibly enter the target organization to investigate.
"Three divine realm auras, two of whom are human, plus one powerful alien. It seems that infiltration is easy, but uprooting them will be quite difficult!"
Jiang Yuan already had a fairly intuitive understanding of the difficulty of this mission. Obviously, if the Zhao family really was colluding with the alien race, it would be very difficult for him to take down this stronghold with his strength.
Moreover, it's only the Zhao family that hasn't been investigated yet; there's also the Taishi family. Even worse, the worst-case scenario is that both the Zhao and Taishi families are colluding with foreign tribes. If that happens, completing the mission will be extremely difficult, since there are only two of them. Even if they request assistance, it will be very difficult to work together from within and without to eradicate these two cancerous growths.
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Jiang Yuan found the entrance to the underground palace and went in without hesitation. He had ventured into dangerous places in the past, so how could he be afraid of a small Zhao family?
