What Chen Zhou said was actually quite similar to what the burly man in front of him was thinking. The person who wanted to capture Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi was also that young master Li Gang, and now the people who hurt that young master Li Gang were also Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi.
Therefore, all these executions must be carried out by the young master Li Gang. If these servants were to act first, it would probably anger the young master Li Gang.
So now it's clear that this burly man can't take Chen Zhou's life.
“What you said is indeed correct, but just because I don’t have this authority doesn’t mean that the owner of Xuanyuan Manor doesn’t have this authority,” the burly man said with a tactful smile.
This was the first time Chen Zhou had seen this burly man smile, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Could it be that this young master Li Gang was the son of the owner of this so-called Xuanyuan Manor? Had he offended the son of the owner of Xuanyuan Manor?
Thinking about this, Chen Zhou realized he was in big trouble.
Could this Xuanyuan Manor be one of the three major forces on this eighth level?
If that's the case, Chen Zhou will be in even bigger trouble.
"Then call him here! It would be my honor to witness the magnificence of such a great figure," Chen Zhou said slowly. His body seemed to have recovered somewhat, but he was still very weak, and the ropes binding him restricted his strength, leaving him feeling utterly powerless. It seemed that only by freeing himself from these ropes could he possibly escape. These people here probably didn't know his abilities, so the possibility of escape was high.
“He’s coming. You won’t be tied up here so comfortably now,” the burly man said.
Indeed, if Chen Zhou had truly harmed the son of this important figure, that person would likely have skinned him alive. And even that might not have been enough; he might have tortured Chen Zhou to death.
"As I just said, being able to witness the charisma of such a great figure before I die makes me feel no regrets," Chen Zhou replied.
"Hahaha, it seems you still don't understand the seriousness of this matter. It's not a big deal if you die, but what about the woman next to you?" The burly man slowly shifted his gaze to Chen Zhou's side, which immediately caught Chen Zhou's attention. Chen Zhou also immediately turned his gaze over and saw a shelf next to him with a person on it.
This person is none other than Yuan Ziyi!
Chen Zhou hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings before, because he was tied up and couldn't turn his head, so he hadn't noticed his sides. Now, following Yuan Ziyi's gaze, he saw Yuan Ziyi beside him, and Chen Zhou even felt a little uncomfortable.
Yes, I'm fine despite all the torment I've endured. But if Yuan Ziyi is involved, she might not be able to handle it. And besides, she's a woman.
Chen Zhou planned and led the entire operation. He didn't believe Yuan Ziyi had done anything wrong, so she shouldn't have to suffer like this with him. Therefore, Chen Zhou directly said, "This has nothing to do with her. Release her immediately."
"Hahahaha! What did you say? Release her? That's the funniest joke I've heard lately," the burly man continued.
Just as Chen Zhou was about to speak again in rebuttal, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, immediately making Chen Zhou swallow his words. Chen Zhou and the burly man both looked in that direction. At this moment, the place was very quiet, with only the sound of water droplets from Chen Zhou's clothes falling to the ground, and the other sound being the hurried footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou saw a group of people escorting one person into the place. After entering, the group slowly dispersed, releasing the person they had been surrounding. Only then did Chen Zhou get a clear look at the person.
The material of this man's clothes was probably even better than that of the young master Li Gang. The young master Li Gang's clothes were made of brocade and silk, while this man's clothes were made of the finest silk and even had shimmering gold on them.
Chen Zhou had never seen anything like this, such an ornament, in this magical city.
Because people in Shanghai only focus on combat power and never pay attention to such decorations, this is the first time Chen Zhou has seen a man with such decorations.
The man was tall, but not particularly muscular. His build was somewhat similar to Li Gang's, but he was a bit thicker.
His expression was somber, his arched eyebrows furrowed, and fine wrinkles appeared on his forehead. He stared intently at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou's eyes met the man's from the very beginning. Chen Zhou was fearless and never looked away, and the man did the same. Chen Zhou could clearly sense the man's anger.
It seems this person really dotes on his son. It seems he has put in a lot of effort to raise his son to be the way he is today!
"Are you the one who hurt my son?" the man asked at this moment.
"Indeed, may I ask your surname?" Chen Zhou smiled, acknowledging the situation, and asked.
Hearing this, everyone present felt ashamed for Chen Zhou. At this point, how could he still have the mind to ask someone else's name?
It seems this person is prepared to die, asking such a question at this time.
You must know that the person standing in front of him now is the master of Xuanyuan Manor, the head of the three major forces on the entire eighth level!
"My name is Li Hanmo, and I am Li Gang's father. You have hurt my son," Li Hanmo said slowly, his tone extremely gloomy.
