Chapter 149: The Three Leaders Who Came to Visit

At that moment, one of them slammed the table and said unhappily:

“I say, isn’t your boss taking us a bit too lightly? We came sincerely to visit, and this is how you treat us—just leaving us here like this?”

The speaker was Zheng Gang, a Level 7 Evolver, the younger of the Zheng Brothers. Having just evolved to Level 7, he was especially arrogant in his conduct.

His elder brother, Zheng Hua, had been a Level 7 Evolver for a while and was relatively more composed.

Sitting beside them was another leader from the northern part of the city, Liao Tie.

“What’s the rush? You’re the ones who insisted on meeting our boss. The fact that the boss is even willing to consider seeing you is already a courtesy!”

Chi Youyou stood with her arms crossed. Though she was only at the peak of Level 5, she showed no fear in the face of the three. As long as Gu Fan was at the base, she dared to poke a hole in the sky.

Zheng Gang’s face immediately darkened, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by his brother Zheng Hua.

“What this young lady said isn’t wrong. We’re not in a hurry. But I wonder if Brother Liao Tie is. I heard there’s a big creature causing trouble on your side lately. You’ve been away from your territory for quite some time—aren’t you worried?”

At these words, Liao Tie did indeed look anxious. He frowned and looked at Chi Youyou:

“Go hurry up your boss. I don’t have time to waste.”

Chi Youyou still wore an arrogant expression and said with a smirk:

“If you’re in a rush, then leave. The door is right there. It’s not like we begged you to come.”

“Besides, our boss’s time is far more valuable than yours. Meeting our boss isn’t something that comes easy!”

“Heh, what a joke—‘not easy’!” Liao Tie sneered coldly.

Ever since the outbreak of Zombies, he had slaughtered his way forward without pause, cutting down countless people and Zombies.

After unifying the northern part of the city, he became a dominant figure whose words were law. When had he ever endured such humiliation? He was about to explode with rage.

In his eyes, this so-called boss of the hospital shelter was just someone deified by weaklings.

The most absurd rumor he had heard was that this Gu Fan had once single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred thousand Zombies. That’s right—just one person!

After hearing such tales, Liao Tie was even more convinced that this Gu Fan was just an overhyped myth.

Killing over a hundred thousand Zombies alone—even if the Zombies stood still and let him kill them one by one, he’d die from exhaustion!

With a face full of cold sneer, Liao Tie stood up and began walking toward Chi Youyou.

“If he won’t come out, then I’ll go urge your boss myself!”

With that, he reached out with his large hand, intending to grab Chi Youyou.

Chi Youyou’s expression changed drastically. She hadn’t expected to actually run into such a hotheaded fool—someone who dared to lay hands on her here!

At that instant, a cold snort echoed through the air.

Immediately, Liao Tie let out a muffled groan, feeling as if a giant hammer had slammed into his chest, forcing him back several steps.

“Trying to urge me out—exactly how do you plan to urge me?”

The three seated men instantly turned pale and looked in the direction of the voice.

There, they saw a young man dressed in a black ancient robe and wearing a hair crown, walking toward them at a leisurely pace.

Although the young man’s aura was restrained, the terrifying pressure and oppressive force emanating from him were still clearly felt.

The three exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

“Boss! Sister Yan!”

Seeing her backer arrive, Chi Youyou immediately turned even more arrogant.

“Good thing the boss arrived in time, or else I would’ve been bullied by this crude brute!”

Liao Tie’s face turned black—what did she mean by crude brute?

Gu Fan looked at Liao Tie with a sneer and said with a curled lip:

“So, you were going to lay a hand on my subordinate?”

Liao Tie hesitated slightly. Under that terrifying pressure, he compromised and could only open his mouth to explain:

“I was just in a bit of a rush, so…”

“Did you or did you not lay a hand on my subordinate!!”

Gu Fan shouted coldly, and a wave of divine soul power swept through the entire hall, instantly stirring up a fierce gust of wind!

Liao Tie was a leader who had slaughtered his way forward step by step—when had he ever endured such humiliation?

Now, to be scolded coldly by a mere youth, his face immediately darkened:

“With that kind of tone, aren’t you disrespecting me a bit too much? Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!”

Gu Fan let out a few hearty laughs.

“So there really are those who aren’t afraid of death!”

As he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to glare at Liao Tie and barked with a snort:

“Kneel!”

Boom!!

An invisible aura exploded in an instant.

Liao Tie immediately felt like he was being crushed under the weight of ten thousand jin, forced to kneel hard on the ground!

The pressure pinned him tightly in place—he couldn’t move at all!

Zheng Gang and Zheng Hua were both so frightened they hurriedly backed away.

Liao Tie, kneeling on the ground, felt as though a pair of massive hands had clutched his throat. He gasped violently for air.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would be forced to kneel by a single glance, unable even to utter a plea for mercy!

“I... I... was wrong... please... I beg you...!”

Zheng Hua and Zheng Gang didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

They knew exactly how strong Liao Tie was. He had been the first among them to break through to become a Level 7 Evolver in the area.

He was undoubtedly the strongest in single combat among the three of them—yet now, he had been reduced to such a sorry state by a single word from that youth.

In that instant, the two recalled all the rumors they had heard about Gu Fan.

Mysteriously powerful, bloodthirsty and cruel, like a ghost or demon!

Just minutes ago, they had scoffed at these tales, thinking people were simply exaggerating. But now, it was far too late for regret!

Gu Fan’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he swept his eyes across the group, then casually withdrew his oppressive force.

“Three Level 7 Evolvers? Must be that I was bored. With strength like yours, you think you’re worth my time?”

“You’re not even qualified to spark my interest!”

Liao Tie clutched his throat, gasping for breath as he lay sprawled on the ground. Ever since awakening his evolution, this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying opponent.

One that brought utter despair, making it impossible to even summon the will to resist!

“Cough... cough cough... I was wrong!”

Zheng Gang and Zheng Hua swallowed hard and quickly added:

“We heard of your great name and have long wished to visit you—there’s truly no other intention!”

“Yes, yes, Leader Gu must have misunderstood. We came with sincerity to pay our respects. After all, you are the mighty one who unified the eastern and southern parts of the city!”

Gu Fan curled his lips in a mocking smile, then looked at the two of them.

“Unifying the east and south wasn’t my goal. This place is tiny. My ambition is the entirety of Chi City, Hui Province, even the whole country and the entire world! What do you think—can I achieve that?”

Before the two could reply, Liao Tie, still kneeling on the ground, was already nodding frantically.

“You can! I’ll be the first to support you. From now on, the north of the city will follow your command!”

Then, ignoring Zheng Gang and Zheng Hua’s astonished expressions, he kowtowed a few times toward Gu Fan, pressing his forehead against the ground to show his submission!

And Liao Tie felt no regret whatsoever. Seeing the stunned look in Zheng Gang and Zheng Hua’s eyes, he sneered inwardly.

These two had not stared directly into the killing intent of this youth in ancient robes, so of course they couldn’t understand that feeling of imminent death!

Nor could they comprehend the despair of standing before such overwhelming power.

Liao Tie swore to himself—he would rather lose his freedom and serve under this man than ever again face that feeling!

As for the looks from the Zheng brothers right now, he didn’t care at all. In fact, he was even looking forward to them resisting!
