Under the moonlight, the two could barely see the road ahead. Led by Yuan Ziyi, Chen Zhou crossed one field after another and finally climbed a small hill.
Chen Zhou clearly didn't know how far it was from there to that residence, and he obviously didn't expect that there was a small mountain in front of him.
Chen Zhou subconsciously asked, "Where is the place of residence?"
Yuan Ziyi focused on walking ahead. Upon hearing Chen Zhou's question, she immediately replied, "Just over this small hill, it's right ahead. This small hill is essentially a dividing line for Ningwuzhuang. This side of the hill is all farmland, while the other side is open construction land. That area is completely occupied by the local tyrants; it's their residence. But there are also some small gatherings there. You can go to the market to buy things."
Chen Zhou didn't have a map of the eighth level, so he was completely unaware of its structure. But after hearing Yuan Ziyi's explanation, he immediately gained a preliminary understanding of the terrain of Ningwuzhuang. It seemed that the basin wasn't entirely flat; there were also mountain ranges like this small hill.
The roads on this mountain range were much easier to travel than the paths between the crisscrossing farmlands, as they were much wider. The two of them, one in front of the other, quickly crossed the mountain range under the cover of night and entered the construction site on the other side.
Under the cover of darkness, although it was difficult to see the entire place clearly, Chen Zhou could still make out the general outline of the entire building complex. It was indeed very large. Chen Zhou soon spotted a brightly lit area, which was probably the new territory occupied by the Advanced Alliance.
The rest of the area was dark, because even in the impoverished Ningwuzhuang, not everyone could afford candles for lighting at night.
"It's that place with light up ahead," Yuan Ziyi said to Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then strode towards it. The two were no longer walking one after the other, but side by side. Now that Chen Zhou had a destination, he naturally didn't need to follow Yuan Ziyi anymore.
After passing through a series of buildings, Chen Zhou finally arrived at the residence of the Advanced Alliance.
As Chen Zhou passed through the buildings, he carefully examined them, noting that most were shops. Entering the Advanced Alliance's residence, Chen Zhou initially thought it would be smooth sailing, but he encountered trouble. At this moment, Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi arrived at the entrance of the residence. Two people stood guard at the gate, their eyes scrutinizing Chen Zhou from head to toe.
They had naturally never met Chen Zhou.
When Chen Zhou defeated those three brothers, he didn't show his face at all. Moreover, many people were standing at the back of the group, which numbered over a thousand! Standing at the back of the group, they couldn't see anything at all, so they didn't recognize Chen Zhou at all.
Chen Zhou didn't want to waste words with the two of them, so he said directly, "Call that scarred-face guy out."
It seemed unlikely that either of them would recognize anyone from the Advanced Alliance, so Chen Zhou mentioned the person he had designated to temporarily manage the area. However, Chen Zhou still didn't know his name, so he could only give a rough estimate. He figured that a name like that shouldn't be too far off, since scarred faces were probably rare in this area.
Hearing Chen Zhou's words, the two remained unmoved. Instead, they seemed to have heard the funniest thing they had heard in the past year, and they began to suppress their laughter. One of them, a tall and thin man, spoke up and said, "Have you come to the wrong place?"
Hearing this, even Yuan Ziyi couldn't help but laugh. She now thought of how Chen Zhou had boasted to Ning Qing'er earlier, and it seemed that Chen Zhou wasn't as amazing as she had imagined! It seemed that she had really misjudged him?
"Don't you understand me? I told you to go in and find that scarred man." Chen Zhou's expression was not good as he said in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Is that Scarface you're talking about our Grand Steward? Scarface is not a name you can call anyone!" Seeing Chen Zhou's face darken, the man's tone grew increasingly aggressive. He knew he was now part of the largest local power organization, and although it had been reorganized, it wasn't someone like Chen Zhou could afford to offend! Chen Zhou had considerable backing, and his new leader was incredibly powerful! It was said he could transform into flames! The previous three leaders had been burned to ashes by his flames!
In the end, only the tokens remained in that person's hands.
In the end, all we saw was that person casually holding the token in his hand, and then he began negotiating with the scarred man. In the end, the entire force was his!
So they probably weren't this arrogant before, but now that they know they've changed leaders, they've become even more arrogant, talking back to anyone they encounter.
For example, right now, the two of them seem completely unafraid of Chen Zhou. They treat him as someone who's there to cause trouble or to curry favor with their Grand Steward! You see, the Grand Steward is currently thriving in this faction! He manages most things all by himself! He's taken over all the responsibilities from the previous stewards! It's all because the new leader trusts him!
"I'll say it one last time, go and call that scarred-face guy out here," Chen Zhou said in a deep voice. Chen Zhou wasn't saying that he had embarrassed himself in front of Yuan Ziyi, but rather that the two of them's repeated talking had indeed angered him.
Why were these two making things difficult for him repeatedly? Chen Zhou clearly couldn't understand it.
