So Chen Zhou suppressed his temper and revealed his bottom line.
"It's already evening, and the head steward is not receiving guests," the tall, thin man said again.
Clearly, the two were now trying to stop Chen Zhou from going in, and Chen Zhou's expression grew increasingly grim. Only then did Yuan Ziyi speak up, saying, "If it really doesn't work, let's go back first."
Yuan Ziyi's words were meant to give Chen Zhou a way out. In Yuan Ziyi's view, Chen Zhou was probably about to get angry and embarrassed. After all, he brought her here to show her how powerful his alliance was, but now it seemed that he had made a fool of himself. Most of what he said just now was probably a lie.
"Go and tell him that the real leader has arrived," Chen Zhou said slowly, suppressing his anger once again.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the two men's expressions became even more exaggerated! Clearly, they had never seen such a shameless person before, and today they had finally seen something truly eye-opening.
"You're saying you're the one who killed three of our leaders in succession?" the tall, thin man said, trying hard to suppress a laugh.
Seeing the man's expression, Chen Zhou vaguely guessed that there was probably nothing more to say; these two definitely wouldn't let him pass. It seemed he would have no choice but to force his way in tonight, and it would be best to make a big scene so as to alert the scarred man and the middle-aged merchant inside.
As soon as Chen Zhou came up with a plan, he immediately put it into action. Flames slowly appeared from Chen Zhou's body, shining exceptionally brightly in the darkness. The two people's expressions changed drastically upon seeing the flames on Chen Zhou's body! Not only those two, but even Yuan Ziyi, who was standing next to Chen Zhou, paled!
You see, they were probably all chosen and brought here from Tianyun Continent by the Demon Capital. They had only seen people create flames out of thin air in places with true energy, but they had never seen anything like it in this place! But when they saw the flames appearing on Chen Zhou's body, everyone was shocked.
"You...you really are..." The person who had spoken earlier stammered.
"Aren't you going to call that scarred man over? If he doesn't come soon, your gate is in danger," Chen Zhou said directly. It seemed that unless he put some pressure on the two gatekeepers, they wouldn't listen to him.
"Okay...okay...I'll go right now..." the tall, thin man stammered, then his body trembled as he moved to the side and quickly went inside. Then, the other two people, also trembling, said to Chen Zhou, "Why don't you two come in and sit down?"
The two people's attitude towards Chen Zhou has now completely changed. Yuan Ziyi is even a little unaccustomed to this sudden change in attitude. She thinks, even if Chen Zhou can create flames, what if it's just a small flame that can be used as a performance? Why are these two so wary of the flames on Chen Zhou's body? They even went in and called out, as if they hadn't said anything earlier.
"No need, we'll wait here. I want to see how long your so-called Grand Steward wants me to wait here." Chen Zhou's face was still grim. He stood still and looked at the people in front of him, speaking slowly.
"Ah...this..." The gatekeeper's face grew increasingly grim. If this man was truly his leader, and they had kept him waiting outside for so long, if he were to blame them, he would surely blame the Grand Steward. And if the Grand Steward continued to blame them, then the blame would fall on the two of them! The scarred Grand Steward was notoriously ruthless; no one dared to provoke him! Thinking of this, the gatekeeper became somewhat frightened, and didn't even have the courage to glance at Chen Zhou.
Oh no! The two of them thought that with a new leader came new opportunities. They believed that as long as they performed well, they would surely be promoted and make a fortune. But now it seems that they are lucky if they can keep their own lives!
Yuan Ziyi was becoming increasingly interested in this matter, so she stood quietly beside Chen Zhou and waited, wanting to see what would happen next.
In this current situation, if the scarred man Chen Zhou mentioned, the chief steward mentioned by the two gatekeepers, really comes, and if he also admits that Chen Zhou is the leader, then Chen Zhou truly wasn't lying. Otherwise, then this whole thing is really Chen Zhou's doing. Why would I go with someone who lacks integrity to search for Wo Wan?
At least that's what Yuan Ziyi thought.
Soon, the gate opened again, and three people walked out. One of them was the tall, thin gatekeeper, and the other two were Scarface and the middle-aged merchant. The middle-aged merchant had changed into a brand new set of combat armor! He looked like a completely different person, while Scarface hadn't changed much.
The moment Yuan Ziyi saw the middle-aged vendor, she immediately realized that the two goalkeepers were doomed! Chen Zhou really hadn't lied to them!
"Greetings, Chief!"
Just as Yuan Ziyi expected! Chen Zhou really hadn't lied to them. The scarred-face man knelt down as soon as he approached, and then shouted loudly. Seeing this, the two gatekeepers' legs immediately went weak, and they knelt down as well, wishing they could prostrate themselves on the ground.
"Greetings, Chief! It was us two... who failed to recognize your greatness!" the two guards shouted, their tone full of reproach.
