After the fat man finished speaking, his gaze immediately shifted to the people from the Advanced Alliance in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to have changed his expression, and his face became increasingly ugly! The flattering expression from before vanished in an instant, replaced by a threatening look as he stared at the people from the Advanced Alliance.
Ning Qing'er and Yuan Ziyi both heard this and wanted to explain, but Chen Zhou interrupted them. Chen Zhou stood in front of the two women, looked directly at the fat man opposite them, and said, "These people are my men, they have nothing to do with them. Tell your men to release the old man."
Chen Zhou spoke in a somber tone. The middle-aged merchant had never heard Chen Zhou speak in such a tone before, and hearing it now, he was quite shocked.
When did Chen Zhou become so strong?
In fact, Chen Zhou had always despised this kind of behavior—using the other person's most precious possession as leverage when they couldn't get what they wanted. For example, now this fat man had finally found something to hold against the two women: the sudden gathering of so many people meant he could use it to kidnap their most prized possession, their grandfather.
This way, he could use the opportunity to control the two women. Clearly, that was the fat man's plan.
Chen Zhou stepped forward at this moment because he didn't want to see his people drag down this family, and he also deeply disliked this behavior. Chen Zhou could say he despised this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh? Showing off in front of my men? Kid, you'd better understand the situation." The fat man's expression changed slightly. He had been the tyrant of this village for many years, and this was the first time he had seen a kid like this. However, he seemed somewhat interesting. The fat man hated these pretty boys the most, who would stand up and say a few words at the most important moment, trying to show off in front of two beautiful women. Little did they know, they had run into him! Showing off could cost them their lives.
The fat man's face grew increasingly grim, and his gaze towards Chen Zhou became more sinister.
"Can't you understand me? I said, now, release the old man." Chen Zhou raised his voice, and it immediately echoed throughout the courtyard. Even the people who were holding the old man and preparing to leave were so frightened that they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
"Today, I'll show you what happens when you do this!" The fat man was clearly anxious and shouted loudly. He then said to the men beside him, "Go! Arrest that person! Gathering a crowd without permission! I want to see what you're capable of!"
The fat man was clearly angry. He had brought quite a few subordinates, but compared to Chen Zhou's Advanced Alliance, his group was relatively small. It could be said that the current situation was completely under Chen Zhou's control. Chen Zhou only needed to speak to resolve the current situation, because the members of the Advanced Alliance had not yet made a move and were all waiting.
"What are you all standing there for? We didn't come to the eighth level to suffer the resentment of these people! Take them down!" Chen Zhou said to the people from the Advancement Alliance. Since they had already passed through such a difficult teleportation channel, it was no easy feat, so they couldn't just swallow their anger on the eighth level.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's command, the members of the Advanced Alliance immediately replied, "Yes!"
They had been waiting for a long time. They had been following Chen Zhou and the middle-aged merchant's advice not to cause trouble, so they had refrained from making a move. They watched helplessly as the old man was taken away, and naturally, they were not happy about it either.
Although they were all veterans of the battlefield, they maintained a sense of dignity and would never harm the elderly. This was true even on the tenth floor. Now, seeing these thugs not only attack the old man but also openly provoke him was utterly shocking!
This immediately provoked the resentment of the members of the Advanced Alliance, who had long wanted to teach these people a lesson.
The moment the members of the Advanced Alliance made their move, they immediately surrounded everyone present and intercepted the men who were holding the old man down. The Advanced Alliance now outnumbered the fat man's men considerably, and the fat man's face slowly turned ashen.
It seems these people are not what I imagined!
They're not like that old man who gets bullied! I've really messed with them this time!
"Stop them! Rescue the old man!" Chen Zhou shouted. Immediately, several members of the Advanced Alliance attacked the group of people. Unexpectedly, the group of people had no strength at all, and the members of the Advanced Alliance quickly knocked them to the ground, thus rescuing the old man.
Seeing that the old man had rescued them, the two women were relieved and quickly walked towards him. The fat man, though embarrassed, had lost his previous arrogance!
"You just wait! I'll go find someone!" the fat man shouted, then glared at Chen Zhou fiercely before turning to leave. But at that moment, the doorway was already blocked by members of the Advanced Alliance.
Chen Zhou looked at the fat man with amusement and said, "What did you just say? You said you were leaving?"
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the fat man's expression changed drastically: "What do you want to do?"
"You're the local tyrant in this village, aren't you?" Chen Zhou asked slowly.
This disgustingly fat man had clearly done a lot of bad things in this village; he didn't look like a good person at all, and Chen Zhou naturally wouldn't show him any mercy. At that moment, a new plan formed in Chen Zhou's mind.
"Hmph! Good that you know! You know but you still won't move aside? I still have a lot of brothers to call over! You just wait, when I call my brothers, you'll be sorry!" The fat man kept thinking about his brothers to bolster his courage. The current situation was very unfavorable for him! It all depended on whether Chen Zhou and his group would let him go.
