"Whose clan is this?" Simeng walked out and asked, looking at the many elves and treants in front of her. Her gaze swept over the lords who had followed her out, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Si Meng didn't even need to guess to know that it must be because these clans had a conflict with Ye Chen and his group. Poor management of the clans was a major taboo for the Wanwu Tower. After all, with so many clans under unified management, the entire Wanwu Tower had to be respected.
"Me! Mine!" a boy stepped out from the crowd and answered weakly.
"Your performance bonus for next month is suspended. We'll discuss the punishment later!" Si Meng said coldly. Then, ignoring him, she went to Ye Chen and the others and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing! The guy who was blocking you earlier was trying to drive us away, but he got eaten by the Hou!" Ye Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Si Meng's heart trembled. That was Wen Tianzong! Was he just going to be swallowed up like that?
However, she remained expressionless, looking at the elves and tree people beside her.
"Lord Simeng, these people killed Lord Wen Tianzong and cheated in the arena. We were ordered to drive them away!" the elven guard said anxiously.
"Cheating in the arena? Who said that? Wen Tianzong? Is the arena under his jurisdiction?" Si Meng rebuked coldly.
"But they earned a million Tier 4 magic crystals in the arena. If that's not cheating..."
"Earning more money means you're cheating? Did your boss teach you that?" Si Meng's gaze swept over the boy, who lowered his head again, not daring to offer any explanation.
"Their victory in the arena has been reported to the lord's manor and to us by the arena's manager, and it has been approved by us. Do you think we're all blind?" Simeng's words stunned the elven guard, who hadn't expected that the other party already knew about this.
"But they still killed Lord Wen Tianzong!"
"Is this any of your business?" Si Meng said sternly. "I sent Wen Tianzong back to his original territory long ago, but not only did he not leave, he is causing trouble here. He deserves to die. Or are you and your lord planning to go and join him?"
"No, no, no! We absolutely did not mean that. This is just a misunderstanding of your meaning by a few clans. This situation will definitely not happen again!" As soon as he finished speaking, the boy waved his hands in a panic, afraid that Si Meng would deal with him as well.
Heaven knows he's just an ordinary laborer. Without a powerful backer like Wen Tianzong, he can't even become a lord. He'll be stuck in the same boat for the rest of his life.
"Hmph! Get out of here. The guards of the central island are temporarily under Qiu Yu's command!" Si Meng sneered. Qiu Yu had too many things on his hands, so much of his power had been divided up by Wen Tianzong. Now it was time to take it back little by little.
Then he looked at Ye Chen and the other two and said, "You guys come with me!"
Shrugging indifferently, the group followed Si Meng into the lord's mansion. Unlike Ye Chen's lord's mansion, which was lush and green, or Jian Mengyi's mansion, which was dazzling and radiant, the mansion was different.
This lord's manor looks extremely ordinary, but it has one huge advantage: it's huge! Exceptionally huge.
A quick glance revealed that this lord's mansion was three times the size of Ye Chen's lord's mansion, making it perfect as an office for Wanwu Tower to handle its daily affairs.
"Please sit wherever you like. You've probably seen this lord's mansion. It doesn't have any special function, it's just big. Most of the lords in our Wanwu Tower use this kind of lord's mansion!" Si Meng said with a smile as she led the group into a room.
"That's great. How about we get one for Fatty too? This kind of lord's mansion is perfect for me, isn't it?" Fatty chuckled. But Si Meng had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, and looked at Ye Chen with a worried expression.
"You really killed Wen Tianzong?" Si Meng asked.
Upon hearing this question, not only her, but also Fatty and Jian Mengyi looked over with slight concern.
If Wen Tianzong were to die at this time, he would surely use the entire power of the Wanwu Tower to target the soon-to-be-existing Duobao Trading Network. At that point, it would be extremely difficult for them to turn the tide.
"Killed it! But it should still be inside the little guy's belly for a few days to digest!" Ye Chen smiled and pointed at the Hou in Ye Xi's arms.
"How many days to digest?" The group was taken aback, seemingly sensing a different meaning in the words.
"Hmm! Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If he goes out now, it means we have to go out too. Otherwise, if they set up a trap outside, wouldn't we be walking into their trap?"
"The little guy's stomach is a self-contained space. Let him digest in there for a few days and leave him with a deep impression. We can then explore the source of darkness and leave as well. There's no point in staying in the trial space any longer!"
Ye Chen said with a smile, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the little guy with great astonishment.
It even has its own separate stomach? Isn't it designed to eat?
"Phew~~~ That scared me to death! I thought you really killed him. If that's the case, we'd probably have to get ready to leave right now!" Si Meng said, patting her chest.
If Wen Tianzong is killed, so be it. He's a major shareholder. It will cause trouble, but it's not like there's no way to deal with him.
We can't let him die too quickly, otherwise, if we plan ahead, we might get badly burned.
"Don't worry, I guarantee he'll come out with us!" Ye Chen laughed. Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly. They would come out together, but in what capacity? That was uncertain! The key was that the psychological trauma of watching himself being digested bit by bit in the stomach would probably haunt him for the rest of his life.
"By the way, Si Meng, Wen Tianzong is dead. He's in the trial space. Will he cause you any trouble?" Jian Mengyi asked with concern, but Si Meng waved her hand dismissively.
"Hey~~~ What trouble could there be? We're about to leave anyway, aren't we? By the way, you came to see me for the auction, right? Come on! I'll take you there right now, the private rooms are all ready!" Suddenly remembering the purpose of their visit, Si Meng stood up and said, leading Ye Chen and the others toward the auction house next door.
Countless people stared at them along the way. Ye Chen and his group had become celebrities in the entire Wanwulou trading area. Not only did they rake in one million Tier 4 magic crystals in the arena, but they also directly killed Wen Tianzong, who was known as the deputy manager.
Seeing them walking together now, everyone has countless speculations about their relationship.
