CHAPTER TEXT:
"Third update! Thanks to my brothers, Mad Bai Kai Shui and Love's Eternity, for their generous donations of 1888 each today, as well as to Old Master Sito for his 588. And to the friends who bet on the roulette, Old Phantom thanks you all here."
After becoming an evolver, Bai Feng had not felt the heat for a long time.
But today, under the not-so-big sun, sweat began to bead on his forehead.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xingmei beside him, and he noticed a hint of sparkle in her hair.
It turned out that even the current number one in Ying City could feel nervous.
He shifted his gaze back to the team not far ahead. Even though he already knew this fact, there was still an unreal feeling, along with an almost overwhelming sense of fear.
When he faced the incredibly powerful Demon Gold Sacred Seat, who could take on the entire Ying City alone, Bai Feng felt no fear. After being heavily injured, he stood up again and finally fought to a standstill against that individual. At that time, he didn’t understand fear, even after losing an arm and an eye.
But now, as he and Zhao Xingmei, along with many other forces, finally caught up to their target, when he saw the figure standing there with crossed arms, Bai Feng finally confirmed that the man had returned.
Only that man could make the Copper Kettle obedient.
Zhao Xingmei couldn’t do it, Bai Feng couldn’t do it, not even Sister Xia from Cloud Summit could. Only that man could.
He had not died; he was alive… he was back.
If he was alive, many others would have to die.
This was Bai Feng's first thought. Then came the concern: would he be among those who would die?
It was no wonder Bai Feng thought this way; after he and Zhao Xingmei arrived here, they found that although they hadn't seen that man yet, there were already three five-star evolvers among the group.
Bai Feng knew very well that these people were not directly under that man, but he had just returned and had already brought out three five-star evolvers, and… Bai Feng began to count and then gave up. In any case, there were dozens of four-star evolvers. So when that man returned to Cloud Summit Villa, what would his direct subordinates gain?
Bai Feng suddenly felt that his beloved mechanical arm was a bit awkward.
Both sides stared at each other without moving, but when Bai Feng and his group appeared, many of those caught in the middle felt a sense of security and began to run toward them.
However, what awaited them was ruthless slaughter.
On that side, whether it was Bai Feng, Zhao Xingmei, or others, they just stood there and watched, motionless…
Thus, the scene fell silent, only the sounds of some scouting teams on the fringes occasionally hunting nearby zombies and mutated creatures could be heard.
Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng exchanged glances and finally walked towards that team, just the two of them.
“Copper Kettle, isn’t Boss Ye back?”
Bai Feng noticed his voice was a bit hoarse; he was somewhat afraid of hearing a positive answer.
“What does it have to do with you?”
Copper Kettle showed a look of disdain on his face as he glanced at these people, muttering.
Regarding Zhao Xingmei, Copper Kettle didn’t think much of it. Although Star Beauty Corporation had dealings with Cloud Summit, most of the time it was during Boss Ye’s presence, as a cooperative effort. So, when danger arose, standing by and watching was understandable.
But what about you, Bai Feng? Cloud Summit and Boss Ye saved your life and supported you in re-establishing the Renxing Battle Team. Can anything you contributed offset those debts? Even if you didn’t go to help Cloud Summit, directly refusing wouldn't have drawn any criticism, but why did you reject? What about your mechanical arm? Didn’t others know?
“Can we see Boss Ye?”
Zhao Xingmei also noticed that Copper Kettle and his group had no goodwill towards Bai Feng. Communicating would only increase tensions, and things might escalate into a fight. She had to step up herself to see if she could meet the man who had been missing for over half a year, even if it was to ease relations a bit.
