Second Senior Brother

Chapter 1278 The Traitor

"Summon someone."

Lan Kuang was outside, leading people to fight against demonic beasts.

So, he could only call for others.

"City Lord."

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

A Shi Dai?

This voice, too familiar.

Creak.

The door opened automatically, and A Shi Dai walked in, bowing slightly. "Lan Kuang is out. The current Wenlan City is protected by me and my people."

"Mm."

Chen Fan nodded. This was not what he cared about. He then asked, "How is the fight with the demonic beasts?"

A Shi Dai shook his head. "Not very good."

Seeing the City Lord's confusion, A Shi Dai quickly explained, "The demon race is very strong. Under the same realm, human cultivators are no match for them. Moreover... the number of human cultivators who have taken action is not as many as expected."

"What do you mean?"

A hint of anger flickered in Chen Fan's eyes. "There are still people who haven't made a move?"

"Yes."

A Shi Dai dared not meet Chen Fan's gaze and said softly, "Many people are observing."

Observing.

Observing what?

Needless to say, they were observing the situation.

There were too many powerful figures among the demonic beasts. Dozens of Supremes descended, turning into forbidden zones where living beings were not allowed to approach.

As for the human side, the total number of Supremes from all factions did not exceed ten.

"What are you guys doing?" Chen Fan sighed.

Yes, he could only sigh now.

The human race was already in such a state, and you were still choosing to observe.

What, if the human race was defeated, would you be willing to become food?

"City Lord."

A Shi Dai's voice was weak. "I've heard some rumors."

"What rumors?"

"Someone said..."

A Shi Dai swallowed. "They said the human race is doomed to lose, and those who did not attack the demonic beasts before humanity's downfall would have a chance to be taken as slaves by the demon race Supremes, and have a chance to live. But once they become enemies of the demonic beasts, they can only end up as food."

"..."

Chen Fan said nothing.

A Shi Dai continued, "Then, some people are speculating whether they can become managers overseeing and raising the food."

"..."

Chen Fan still said nothing.

However, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive.

It was as if a cold air was spreading in the room, or as if a ten-thousand-year-old block of ice had been placed inside.

"Alas."

After a long pause, Chen Fan finally sighed. "This is human nature."

The depravity of human nature was fully exposed in the face of crisis.

"Can you find them?" he asked again.

A Shi Dai knew what the City Lord meant and nodded. "Everyone has been recorded."

Chen Fan rubbed his temples.

The girl was still lacking something. If it were Lan Kuang, she would probably have directly eliminated them. Those who spoke would probably not have survived.

Forget it. After all, she was a girl, and it was not appropriate for him to say anything.

"Go find Hong Si and resolve this matter," Chen Fan said.

"Yes."

A Shi Dai left.

Chen Fan rubbed his temples. It was too troublesome.

The external troubles had not yet been resolved, and these useless trivial matters were disturbing his mind. Chen Fan was extremely annoyed.

...

Sensing that Hong Si had left with his men, Chen Fan closed his eyes.

His spirit had been constantly tense. He needed rest.

No city was without its scums, no situation was without its unavoidable events.

In the Oriental Manor, it was quiet.

The hustle and bustle continued, but everyone's face carried a trace of worry and solemnity.

Some people had not left the city for a long time and had no idea about the current situation outside.

And at this moment, in a tall building.

The building was named Hong Chen, a building under the Lanting family.

This building operated on a rental basis, with companies renting out each floor.

Such buildings could be found in every city.

The Hong Chen Building had a total of thirty floors. Floors fifteen to thirty were rented by a powerful company.

Because of cultivation, the stronger one's power, the more the brain was developed, and the higher the intelligence.

Of course, this excluded some idiots.

A company called Teng Fei, which had dozens of Nascent Soul realm cultivators. The boss of the company was a divine-level expert.

At this moment, all the high-level executives of the company were gathered in the office.

"Everyone."

The boss of Teng Fei company looked very young, with fair skin, appearing to be no more than thirty years old.

But in fact, this boss was eighty years old.

At this moment, the boss smiled. "I have already contacted a demon race expert. As long as we inform them of the locations of the human race experts, they will accept us under their command, not as slaves, but as equals."

"In the future, when all the human race Supremes are dead and the demon race rules the world, they will grant us a piece of land, a country within a country, to exist independently."

"Really?"

The people below were pleasantly surprised.

If this was true, they would have a way out.

If the human race won, they could still live a life of superiority.

If the demon race won, they also had a way out, and would not end up as food like others.

Below, a middle-aged woman's expression was somewhat solemn. She said, "But if we betray the whereabouts of the human race experts, once we are discovered..."

"Who can discover us?"

The boss sneered. "Didn't our Teng Fei company also send people to participate in the great battle?"

Yes, Teng Fei company had sent people.

It's just that the people... were a bit weak.

The boss continued, "I have summoned you all here today for only one matter. All of you will join the battlefield with the masses, with the sole purpose of collecting the whereabouts of everyone and reporting it to me."

"Yes."

Everyone stood up.

"Alright, you may dismiss yourselves."

The boss nodded with satisfaction. "Remember, this matter is between you and me. It is not to be mentioned to anyone. Our future is destined to be glorious."

Clap, clap, clap.

Everyone applauded.

Everyone was very satisfied.

Who would want to die if they could live?

Both paths were viable. No matter who won, they were on the winning side.

"Hehe."

Someone chuckled lewdly. "Let those fools go fight to the death. They are just working for us, haha..."

"Alas..."

A sigh suddenly sounded.

"Who is it? Why are you sighing?"

Just as they were happily preparing to celebrate, this sigh was like a fly falling into a jar of rice.

Bang.

The office door was violently broken open.

A stranger with an Eastern face walked in.

Hong Si had arrived in person.

In the room, everyone's faces changed drastically. "Hong Si..."

The boss had seen Hong Si's face. Others might not recognize him, but they were all too familiar with the name Hong Si.

Hong Si had arrived.

The boss, standing at the very back, his face contorted, then he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Mr. Hong Si, these fellows have betrayed humanity and colluded with the demon race in secret. I gathered them here intending to catch them all in one net, and then send them to the manor."

"Now that you are here, it's perfect. We can act together, so these people won't resist..."

"Bang."

Before others could react, the boss made his move.

With a palm strike, he instantly killed the subordinate closest to him.
