85: My daughter's birthday

The City Lord isn't in the City of Chaos?

With Lie Ruman, the leader of the Evil Wolf Gang, arriving, Lu Yuan caught a crucial piece of information!

Lie Ruman is also a Transcendent Realm Practitioner, but her strength is lower compared to the leaders of the other two major forces; she is a Transcendent Realm Two-Star.

Lie Ruman's words were very effective. Upon hearing the words 'City Lord,' Lian Hongyi regained his composure.

"Everything will be handled according to the rules. In a life-and-death battle, whoever wins, the loser concedes and gives up a portion of their interests," said Lie Ruman, wearing a mask.

Among the three major forces, only the Evil Wolf Gang completely defers to the City Lord.

As for the Slaughter Arena and the Drunken Gang, the City Lord has favored the Drunken Gang more in recent years.

The reason is simple: Qiu Jinsong is strong but simple-minded and easy to control.

As long as he's well-fed, well-drunk, and his carnal desires are satisfied, Qiu Jinsong will obediently listen.

Lian Hongyi is different; he has no weaknesses in the City of Chaos.

He doesn't indulge in women, and even treats his adopted daughter, Luo Xishuang, with cold indifference. His eyes only see demon crystals and demon cores.

"Lian Hongyi, tomorrow, obediently hand over one-third of the Slaughter Arena's profits to me!" Qiu Jinsong drained the strong liquor in his hand and let out a satisfied burp.

He was full of confidence for this life-and-death duel, having sent out two of his top generals.

Wei Yuheng, a Profound Gang Realm Peak, and Gao Tianyou, a Divine Ability Realm Peak!

Especially Gao Tianyou, he is a dual fire and earth attribute Practitioner, both of whom have comprehended divine abilities.

With this strength, even the fourth-year geniuses of the Five Great Top Academies are no match for him!

On the other hand, the two people Lian Hongyi sent out...

Chu Wushe is only a Profound Gang Realm Seven-Star, and Lu Yuan is merely a Divine Power Realm One-Star.

"We shall see." Lian Hongyi turned and left.

"You must be Jiang Hao."

A man weighing over 300 catties, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, looked at Lu Yuan.

"Something wrong?"

Lu Yuan asked.

This person was Gao Tianyou, his opponent in tomorrow's life-and-death battle.

"Get ready to be crushed into meat paste by me!" Gao Tianyou sneered.

"Fatty."

Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered with Gao Tianyou.

If Gao Tianyou weighed 200 catties, Lu Yuan wouldn't have called him a fatty.

This guy's weight was about to reach 400 catties, almost catching up to the Drunken Gang's leader.

"I hate it most when people call me a fatty. Say it again if you dare!"

Lu Yuan accurately infuriated Gao Tianyou.

"Fatty, fatty, fatty..." Lu Yuan didn't speak, but Han Junchen, on the other hand, got excited.

"Little Silkworm, Little Silkworm, Little Silkworm..."

Han Junchen said, he loved to see others get triggered.

"You're asking for death!" Gao Tianyou clenched his fist, but was quickly stopped by a gang member.

The Drunken Gang's leader didn't dare to fight in the city, let alone one of his gang members.

"I've never seen such a request. He likes people to call him a fatty, so be it," Han Junchen shrugged.

Crash—

The sound of smashing things rang out. Lu Yuan looked at Lian Hongyi, who was triggered and letting out a low roar.

Clearly, Qiu Jinsong had touched Lian Hongyi's sore spot. Although Lian Hongyi forcibly endured it for the greater good, it didn't mean he wasn't angry.

After knocking over all the bottles and jars in the room, the gray-haired Lian Hongyi turned to stare at Lu Yuan and Chu Wushe.

"If you win tomorrow, take the dragon blood crystals and leave the City of Chaos immediately."

"You are not death row inmates; there's no need to stay here for a long time!" Lian Hongyi put the storage rings from his pocket onto his fingers one by one, having already made a decision in his heart.

"Where is the City Lord?"

Lu Yuan asked.

After learning about Lian Hongyi's past from Chu Wushe, Lu Yuan could tell that Lian Hongyi was different from Qiu Jinsong, the leader of the Drunken Gang.

Including most residents of the City of Chaos.

They were purely evil, but Lian Hongyi, who became a death row inmate, at least had a reason.

"He went to kill Lu Yuan."

How could I be so important as to have a Domain Realm Expert hunt me down?

Learning that the City Lord was outside the city to hunt him down, Lu Yuan's expression was strange.

"Did he kill him?" Han Junchen asked, knowing the answer.

"I don't know, but according to my speculation, Lu Yuan most likely returned to Pengcheng University, and the City of Chaos is doomed."

Lian Hongyi said in a deep voice.

"The City of Chaos exists because The Authorities intentionally condone it, turning a blind eye," Lian Hongyi stated his speculation.

"Ninety-nine percent of the people in the city deserve to die. Instead of letting them cause trouble in Huaxia and painstakingly trying to catch them, it's better to let them kill each other!"

The room was a mess, the table split in half, and the floor was covered in shattered vase fragments.

"But the City Lord had to provoke Lu Yuan, who came in national martial arts examination first place. The Alliance Leaders of the Seven Alliances and One Hall allow the City of Chaos to exist, but they will never allow any genius from Huaxia to die in the City of Chaos's hands, especially a genius like Lu Yuan, who is destined to become the backbone of Huaxia!" Lian Hongyi said.

Of course, all of this was his own speculation.

But the City of Chaos was indeed going to be destroyed because of Lu Yuan!

"Lu Yuan is really amazing, isn't he, Jiang Hao?" Han Junchen looked at Lu Yuan.

"Indeed."

Lu Yuan said without batting an eyelid.

"If you lose tomorrow, you will die. If you win, take the dragon blood crystals and leave." Lian Hongyi sat on the ground, his wolf claws retracting as he took out his wallet and looked at a family photo of three inside.

"My dear daughter, we'll be seeing each other soon."

Thump, thump, thump—

A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

Lian Hongyi looked at Luo Xishuang as she walked in.

"Godfather, you asked for me." Luo Xishuang lowered her head, her tone respectful.

"Do you hate me?"

Only he and Luo Xishuang remained in the room. Lian Hongyi lifted Luo Xishuang's chin.

"Do you hate me for forcibly abducting you from the No Mans Land? You hadn't committed any crime and had even gotten into a good First-Tier University. You should have had a bright future after graduation."

"Do you hate me for treating you as a plaything to be trampled upon and used to win over people's hearts?"

"I wouldn't dare." Luo Xishuang shook her head.

"Only because you wouldn't dare, right?"

Lian Hongyi took out a storage ring and placed it on Luo Xishuang's finger.

"Inside are 100 Divine Power Realm demon cores, 20 of which are Divine Power Realm Peak, and a bank card with a balance of 50 million. The password is on the back." Lian Hongyi closed his eyes.

"It's enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Half a month later, come to the place where I abducted you. I will let you kill me, provided I'm still alive."

Luo Xishuang suddenly looked up.

"Go." Lian Hongyi sat on the ground and waved his hand.

Without any hesitation, Luo Xishuang turned and left.

The moment she walked out of the City of Chaos, Luo Xishuang felt disoriented.

"I... am free."

Ding, ding, ding—

Elegant piano music echoed in the Slaughter Arena. Lian Hongyi sat alone in the center of the Arena Stage, playing the piano.

The piano music became more urgent, making his subordinates anxious.

Bang—

His wolf claw shattered the piano, and Lian Hongyi sat upright in the chair.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

Lian Hongyi looked at Hou Zhichen, the third-in-command of the Slaughter Arena, the person he trusted most besides Luo Xishuang.

However, Hou Zhichen was an escaped death row inmate.

"I... I don't know." Hou Zhichen held his breath.

The Boss was moody, and even a slight misstep in words or actions could provoke his anger.

"It's my daughter's birthday!" Lian Hongyi said with a smile.
