A demon girl in a black JK uniform and a canned girl with a floral skirt.
With an arm around Chen Yu’s shoulder on either side, Chen Yu sat smiling on the eaves, gazing at the people in the street with a gentle smile in his eyes.
“Lord City Lord!”
Upon seeing Chen Yu appear, A Li’s eyes instantly lit up with a bright smile.
Saved.
No matter how difficult it was for Alwen and Hu Tou to join forces, Chen Yu’s arrival would declare their failure.
Those trapped would also be rescued.
“Yabo, do you see? That’s our new City Lord.” A Li, with a face full of smiles, put his arm around Yabo’s shoulder. “Alwen and Hu Tou won’t be able to cause trouble for much longer. The division of this city is about to end.”
Looking up at Chen Yu, A Li’s eyes were filled with hope for the future.
The other members of the food-gathering team, seeing Chen Yu’s appearance, also surged with bright smiles, cheering and shouting “Lord City Lord!” Their gazes towards Alwen and Hu Tou were like looking at a pile of rotten flesh.
Robbing food?
Let’s see how these people could rob food now. The City Lord himself had arrived. How could these ragtag mobs fare well in the hands of the City Lord?
With their meager strength, the City Lord could turn them to ashes with a slight raise of his hand.
“Hahahaha, you’re doomed!”
The food-gathering team members burst into unrestrained laughter, pointing mockingly at the surrounding thugs who were holding weapons, unsure whether to continue.
Yabo, with A Li’s arm around his shoulder, frowned and tried to shake it off.
“Don’t move.”
Sensing Yabo’s intent, A Li tightened his grip on him.
“We don’t seem to be this close, do we?” Yabo whispered, glancing sideways. “Don’t think that just because I saved your food-gathering team earlier, we’ve reached the stage of putting arms around each other’s shoulders. If Alwen hadn’t stepped up, your food-gathering team wouldn’t have been able to escape at all.”
A Li snorted and ignored Yabo’s unfriendly whisper.
“No matter your attitude towards the food-gathering team, you are at least much better than the scoundrels like Alwen and Hu Tou who are eroding Hurricane City. You can disregard our past friendship, but you’d better not move rashly now. I’m doing this to save your life and the lives of those under you.”
“Save me?”
Yabo’s brow furrowed deeply, and he glanced subtly towards the eaves.
“With him?”
If Yabo wasn’t mistaken, the person on the eaves was only in his early twenties, about the same age as their Little Liu. His strength might not be that great.
Moreover, he had two beautiful women beside him.
This was clearly someone who indulged in pleasure. This City Lord position was probably granted to him by the kingdom, and he was most likely a member of the royal family.
“I really don’t know how you could favor someone like this.”
Yabo scoffed. “In my impression, you’ve never been the type to fear power. Did your royal background make you hesitant? Old friend, the royal family of the Tatu Kingdom has been a mere formality for half a year. In this chaotic world, survival depends on the tools in our hands.”
“Royal family?”
A Li immediately let out a sarcastic laugh.
“Our City Lord isn’t from the royal family. I can roughly guess what you’re thinking, but capable people in this world are never bound by common sense. Don’t be too hasty. Just watch slowly, and in less than half an hour, you’ll thank me, old friend!”
A Li’s words carried a palpable confidence. From Yabo’s understanding of him, there must be a reason for him to say this.
This made him somewhat puzzled.
Could the youth sitting on the eaves truly possess extraordinary abilities?
Despite his inner confusion, Yabo patiently refrained from speaking further. He was curious to see what kind of abilities this person, so highly praised by A Li, possessed.
“That person with his arm around A Li doesn’t seem to be getting along very well.”
Chen Yu heard the little demon’s whisper in his sea of consciousness. Upon hearing this, Chen Yu glanced over with a smile and remained silent.
Since Chen Yu and his companions appeared, they had been observing the movements of everyone present. The subtle actions between A Li and Yabo were naturally noticed by Chen Yu.
“Let him be.”
After smiling for a while, Chen Yu whispered softly.
“Since A Li wants to protect him so much, let’s give him face. We’ll find out what kind of person that person he’s hugging is from Cleve after we resolve the trouble here. What’s important now is to quickly deal with the two leaders. I didn’t become the City Lord of this city, but now I am the City Lord of Fengqi City. If they dare to snatch resources within the city, they are draining my blood!”
Having been in the caves for so long, Chen Yu had always been the one draining others’ blood.
Draining his blood? Impossible!
“Who are you?”
Hu Tou wouldn’t normally pay attention to a mere brat suddenly appearing on the eaves. For some reason, from the moment the youth appeared and sat on the eaves, his sense of crisis was constantly sending warning signals, warning him that the youth before him was extraordinary.
Having survived in the caves for so many years, he relied on his keen sense of crisis to stay alive.
Even though his experience and knowledge told him that the person before him was just an inexperienced greenhorn, he still dared not underestimate him. His eyes, as he looked at Chen Yu, were filled with vigilance and caution.
“Your question is rather interesting.”
Chen Yu on the eaves grinned and said to Hu Tou below.
“You were just shouting about me, and now you’re asking who I am? What, you dare to spout such nonsense without even knowing who I am? Even if you knew me, with so many people shouting my name, are you deaf? Why are you being so redundant here?”
“You… you’re the new City Lord?” Hu Tou’s expression stiffened.
“Don’t I look like it?”
Chen Yu stood up with a smile, spreading his hands. Then, he deliberately adopted a profound demeanor, resting one hand on his leg, trying his best to project an air of authority.
“Do I not possess the demeanor of a City Lord?”
Faced with such deliberate pretense, Hu Tou couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, you, a mere brat, are fit to be the lord of Hurricane City? How can a city with a territory of seven thousand li be managed by a pubescent boy like you? Stop embarrassing yourself. While I’m in a good mood, scram, or your tenure as City Lord ends here.”
Chen Yu’s face was full of smiles as he shook his head at Hu Tou and said.
“Seeking death.”
For some reason, seeing Chen Yu say these two words with a smile, and the disdain in his eyes when facing mockery, Hu Tou inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.
In that instant, he suddenly felt that Chen Yu was by no means simple.
If it were an ordinary young man, he would have been furious at such mockery, and at the very least, he would have shouted back, not uttered those two words with a smiling face like Chen Yu.
“Where does your confidence come from? Is it from them?”
Chen Yu, with a face full of smiles, looked at him and then raised his hand. On the rooftop behind him, a troop of cavalry appeared, holding several captives who looked like walking corpses.
Chen Yu tilted his head slightly, and the cavalry troop threw the captives down into the street.
The moment the captives rolled into the street, Yabo, Hu Tou, and Alwen all revealed expressions of disbelief.
Looking back up at Chen Yu, their terror was undeniable.
