Replace the door
Ye Chen, of course, knew that the bodies in Jiangxi would be discovered by Jiangbei, but he didn't care; if they were discovered, then so be it. At worst, he would just have another big battle with Jiangbei.
When they arrived at Twin Lakes, Xiao Fan and the others were already waiting there.
Black Peng was looking around, and when he saw Ye Chen approaching, the tension on his face eased.
"Brother Ye Chen, you're here!" Xiao Fan greeted him with a smile, noticing at the same time that Ye Chen's aura had grown stronger.
Xiao Fan felt a bit helpless. Every time he saw Ye Chen after a period, he felt that he had become much stronger. He was truly a monster.
Many people were gathered around Twin Lakes, all staring at the strange object in the sky.
The giant vortex had thirteen peculiar channels, each of a different color, constantly rotating there.
Some people wanted to go down and see, but they were stopped before they could even get close.
Black Peng said, "This place is heavily guarded. Ordinary people aren't even allowed to get close. A few days ago, an LV70 Breaker insisted on going to see and even clashed with the guards. As a result, he was directly eliminated by a Breaker! Now, no one dares to approach."
Ye Chen nodded. He understood this, of course. There weren't many guards now, but when the channels opened, perhaps all the Breakers in the Second Region would come to guard them.
Many people from other alliances in the Second Region were watching, all planning to rush in when it opened.
Ye Chen had done such things before.
Black Peng said, "Everyone, let's find a place to wait first. If we keep watching here, we might be noticed. And we don't need to go in when the channels open; it's not too late to go in after they've entered."
Xiao Fan nodded in agreement. The group turned and found a restaurant to sit down in. The private rooms upstairs in this restaurant offered a perfect view of the situation outside through the windows.
Upon entering the restaurant, Xiao Fan took out 100,000 gold coins and placed them on the table, saying loudly, "Boss, I've reserved the private room upstairs. Bring all the best wine and dishes you have, and don't allow anyone to disturb us, understand?"
The restaurant owner's eyes widened when he saw the 100,000 gold coins; this was half a month's revenue for him. The boss nodded and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't let anyone disturb you."
Ice Seal couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiao Fan, you're not treating money like money. You just gave away 100,000 gold coins directly. I think 1,000 gold coins would have been enough."
Xiao Fan patted Ice Seal's shoulder and said, "Brother Ice Seal, your awareness isn't good enough. Is 100,000 gold coins a big deal to us? It's nothing. By taking out the money and showing our status, the boss won't let anyone disturb us. Besides, this boss is an ordinary person; 100,000 gold coins is enough for him to do many things. This can also be considered accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, don't you think?"
Ice Seal gave Xiao Fan a thumbs-up after hearing his words, chuckling, "Brother Xiao Fan, your awareness is indeed higher! I'm truly not as good as you."
Everyone was amused by these few words.
Inside the private room, Ye Chen, Xiao Fan, and Black Peng sat by the window, constantly observing the situation outside.
Ye Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed as he pointed to a restaurant across the street and said, "Look over there."
He saw that the window seats of the restaurant opposite were already filled with people, a whole row of them, all craning their necks to look outside.
Xiao Fan laughed, "As expected, we're not the only ones with this idea. Everyone's watching."
Black Peng, who rarely spoke, also chimed in, "Yes, I think people from several regions who received the news have come. Just from what I know, many people from the First Region have arrived, and people from the Heavens Chosen Alliance are here too."
"Heavens Chosen Alliance?"
Ye Chen and Xiao Fan exchanged glances and laughed together.
The Heavens Chosen Alliance were old acquaintances of theirs.
"Sir, you can't go in. This room is already occupied; someone has reserved it."
"Get out of the way! Who dares to reserve a place on our Xiong Alliance's territory? Are you tired of living? Even if the King of Heaven came today, he'd have to get out!"
Noisy sounds came from outside.
Xiao Fan said helplessly, "As expected, the short-sighted ones have arrived!"
Bang!
The door was directly kicked open, and six fierce-looking people with wide, angry eyes stood outside the door.
A one-eyed man cursed, "Who are you? Who dares to reserve a place on our Xiong Alliance's territory? All of you, get out! Don't force my hand!"
The restaurant owner looked at Ye Chen and the others with a distressed expression, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.
Ye Chen and the others looked at them with cold faces.
"Are you talking to me? Are you all deaf? All of you, get out!" the one-eyed man snapped.
Seeing that Ye Chen and the others remained unmoved, the leader, Big Beard, grew angry and directly summoned his pet.
LV64!
"All of you, get out!"
Xiao Fan, somewhat helpless, also summoned his pet, and the others also summoned theirs.
They were all LV66 to LV68!
Each pet was at least Saint Grade.
Ye Chen only summoned Rolling, his LV63 Creation Rank pet, which still commanded a lot of presence.
Big Beard and the others were instantly scared silly when they saw this. They had thought they were just a few trashy outsiders coming to join the fun, but they turned out to be a group of bigshots.
They were not the leaders of the Xiong Alliance, but merely hall masters sent by the alliance leader to check on the situation.
Xiao Fan and Ice Seal were all bounty hunters, and the killing intent emanating from them was chilling.
Big Beard stammered, "Sorry, sorry, gentlemen, we entered the wrong room. Sorry."
With that, Big Beard prepared to leave.
Xiao Fan said coldly, "Did I tell you to leave?"
Big Beard's body trembled, and he stood rooted to the spot.
"Look at this door; you guys kicked it down. Are you just going to leave like that?"
Big Beard visibly relaxed, turned around, and smiled, "We'll compensate, we'll compensate. Boss, here's a thousand gold coins; take it to replace the door."
After speaking, Big Beard took out a thousand gold coins and directly stuffed them into the boss's hand.
"Hahaha, a thousand, a thousand gold coins? Are you trying to send off a beggar here?"
Big Beard was stunned, then quickly took out another 10,000 gold coins, "Ten thousand, ten thousand!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Xiao Fan's cold 'hmm,' Big Beard was startled and took out another 100,000 gold coins, handing them over.
After stuffing them to the boss, Big Beard looked at Xiao Fan tremblingly.
Xiao Fan's expression and eyes were still cold as he looked at Big Beard. Big Beard knew that Xiao Fan had no intention of letting him off.
"Five hundred thousand! I only have this much!" Big Beard was almost in tears.
"Alright, get out!" Xiao Fan waved his hand impatiently.
Big Beard quickly ran off.
The restaurant owner stared at the gold coins in his hand, then quickly stepped forward and respectfully placed the gold coins on the table.
"These gold coins were obtained by you, sirs, please take them."
Xiao Fan took a sip of tea and said, "Take what's given to you. Am I short of these gold coins? Quickly take the gold coins and go replace the door for me."
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll go now!" The boss excitedly grabbed the gold coins and ran off.
