Chapter 599 Private Emotions
However, it seemed that these Star Constellation Grandmasters did not know how Cheng Mo actually disappeared.
Bei Xuan took a step forward and chuckled lightly, "So you're looking for Cheng Mo. Why don't you ask the Zhou family?"
The six Star Constellation Grandmasters immediately sensed something was amiss in his words. Their gazes all fell upon Zhou Lihao and Zhao Jiamo.
It was Zhao Jiamo who told them about Cheng Mo's disappearance, and Zhao Jiamo was now a member of the Zhou family.
It seemed that things were not as simple as they had imagined!
No wonder the Zhou family was willing to help mediate!
"Zhao Jiamo, how did your master disappear? Does it have anything to do with you!"
Although the relationship between the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations was not as close as brothers, their status dictated that they had to unite.
If the Zhou family was indeed causing trouble, then the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations would naturally seek justice.
Zhao Jiamo's legs felt weak when a martial artist of Grandmaster level roared at him.
"I... my master went to the Magic City Association at that time, and then Huang Chen said that he had offended the association and was taken away. I really don't know anything else!"
"Oh, right, Huang Chen is Bei Xuan War God's subordinate. He must know what's going on!"
War God Bei Xuan smiled even more heartily and then told everyone about that day.
"Cheng Mo was indeed captured by me, but it was because he committed an unforgivable crime. For the sake of your Twenty-Eight Star Constellations' reputation, I didn't publicize this matter."
"But Cheng Mo has nothing to do with the Magic City Association, so why would he go to that place?"
Now, everyone understood. Even though War God Bei Xuan did not elaborate, the six Star Constellation Grandmasters already knew that Cheng Mo must have colluded with the Zhou family in some way.
Regardless of the specifics, this was indeed very embarrassing for the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations.
"What War God Bei Xuan said is only one side of the story, but we believe War God Bei Xuan. We will not get involved in today's matter, but we still need to see Cheng Mo."
The six Star Constellation Grandmasters then left the Zhou family's stronghold, not even looking back. They felt that they had been tricked by the Zhou family!
After coming out, one of them let out a long sigh and patted his chest in fear, "That scared me to death. It's the first time I've encountered four War Gods appearing at the same time. What exactly did the Zhou family do?"
"Hmph, so what if the Zhou family caused a great deal of trouble? It has nothing to do with us! As for Cheng Mo, if I find out he colluded with the noble families, I'll cripple him!"
"I find what War God Bei Xuan said very strange. Colluding with noble families is a disgrace to us, but does injuring an ordinary person really require the dignified War God to personally pursue and capture him?"
...
The people at the Zhou family's stronghold were unaware of what the six Grandmasters were thinking, and Bei Xuan didn't care.
What Bei Xuan cared about now was the owner of that restaurant!
"Zhou Lihao, where are the two people you captured!"
Zhou Lihao broke out in a cold sweat facing War God Bei Xuan's interrogation.
Zhou Lihao never expected that the two ordinary people he had captured could provoke this War God.
After a brief mental calculation, Zhou Lihao said with a bitter smile, "War God Bei Xuan, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Why would our Zhou family capture people?"
"I just arrived in Magic City, and my intention was to watch our Zhou family's football match. Now you are searching the Zhou family without any evidence. Aren't you treating our Zhou family with too little regard?"
"The Zhou family also provides great support to the War Gods every year. Doing this is truly disheartening!"
Chen Yang, who had been silent beside him, frowned immediately upon hearing this.
The Four Great War Gods have connections with the Zhou family?
This was something he had never heard of!
Seeing the expression on Chen Yang's face, Dong Cang smiled as if to explain, "Every family does provide support, but this is definitely not a 'get out of jail free' card."
"Furthermore, you speak of being disheartened. Are you speaking on behalf of Old Master Zhou?"
Zhou Lihao's heart stirred, and he immediately shut his mouth.
If the old man of the family found out, his share in the company would definitely decrease.
His brothers in the family were all watching him.
"If you want to prove your Zhou family's innocence, it's very simple: let us investigate." Dong Cang was not aggressive. The most important thing now was to rescue those two ordinary people.
"Alright, although I don't know which two people are so important to the War Gods, since War God Dong Cang has said so, I will take a step back."
As Zhou Lihao spoke, he actually moved aside, as if he were not afraid of the four War Gods investigating at all.
Chen Yang naturally saw Zhou Lihao and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. His heart immediately became alert: "Could it be that neither of them is here?"
After entering the depths of the stronghold, Chen Yang said in a low voice, "Does the Zhou family have any other hidden locations in Magic City? The people might not be here."
Bei Xuan shook his head slightly, "The Zhou family's businesses are too vast. I really don't know how many places they have in Magic City."
Nan Zhu rubbed his forehead, appearing dispirited, "If we can't find them, this matter will become quite big!"
The four War Gods pressuring Zhou Lihao would undoubtedly spread to all the noble families the next day.
At that time, the pressure they four would face would probably be no small matter.
The Zhou family still had considerable influence among the noble families!
Xi Bai gritted his teeth and smiled, "Can't find them? I don't believe it. We'll turn this place upside down, and we won't find them. I want to see how the Zhou family will deal with this."
Although the Zhou family's stronghold was not large, in order to inspect more carefully, they still separated.
Chen Yang was originally searching alone, but after a while, Dong Cang stealthily caught up.
"Brother Chen, although we don't know what grudge you have with the Zhou family, judging by your demeanor, you seem intent on turning the Zhou family upside down, right?"
Chen Yang did not speak, only let out a soft hum. He didn't want to say that he wanted the Zhou family to disappear from this world.
"Since that's the case, the four of us are willing to help, but only the four of us."
Chen Yang, who was searching carefully, stopped his steps upon hearing this.
The Four Great War Gods are willing to help him?
This made Chen Yang a little strange. The situations of the War Gods were very complex, and taking action against the Zhou family would definitely cause a backlash.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Although the War Gods had quite a few privileges compared to other martial artists, and could even act first and report later, they were also subject to many restrictions.
