Zhao Min clung to Tao Yu’s arm, swinging it as she lowered her voice and said,
"As if you know so much."
Tao Yu glanced at her sideways and flicked her smooth forehead, leaving a red mark.
So many martial artists saw it, and there would be quite a few who would head south to integrate when the time comes.
There’s no way to shut them up, and by then, it’ll be impossible to hide.
"The fact that the Development Zone can pull out such a force definitely means that there are people from Floating City behind them, and their family’s influence in the Inner City might not be weak either. There’s no need..."
Tao Yu looked at the departing backs of the eight men and smiled, then raised his voice to the many martial artists,
"We’ve successfully stopped the Titans this time, and everyone can relax a bit now. Without the Ape Titan leading them, ordinary Titans are not that frightening."
Tao Yu handed Zeke over to Guo Jing.
"Brother-in-law, keep an eye on him first. I think the key to solving the Titan problem and its secrets may well lie with him. Locked up in the dungeon, he can’t transform."
"I’m a bit tired from the journey here, I’m going to rest for a while."
Guo Jing nodded in agreement at Tao Yu’s words,
"Junior brother, you’ve rushed here from the Western Regions, and on top of that, you fought with the Titans, so you should rest well. I’ll have someone prepare your chamber right away."
"Thanks, brother-in-law. I’ll just stay with Zhao Min tonight to make do."
Tao Yu reached out and stroked Zhao Min’s soft hair, eliciting teasing laughter from the rough men around, making Zhao Min’s face flush with a touch of shyness.
Cheng Lixue, standing beside him, wanted to say something, but soon held back. After all, she was currently playing the role of the virtuous Lady Cheng with a husband...
"Wait here for me, I’ll be right back," Tao Yu said. Your is on empire
Tao Yu and Zhao Min arrived at her room, where he promptly tossed her aside, leaving Zhao Min, who had been lost in wild thoughts, momentarily stunned.
"Are you stupid or what? Didn’t you say we shouldn’t leave loose ends?"
Tao Yu looked at Zhao Min’s blushing face with some speechlessness. Had she been influenced by being around Cheng Lixue too much?
Why was her head filled with such nonsense...
"How would I know what you’re thinking? We’re not telepathic," Zhao Min pouted and murmured, leaving Tao Yu somewhat speechless. This foolish heroine really said whatever came to her mind.
Didn’t she mention every single pose she struck along the way? What about keeping in character?
"I understand, my lord. Go ahead and do what you need to do, and be careful on your way."
"Don’t worry, they’re just a few small fry..."
Tao Yu patted her head and hesitated for a moment before rewarding her with a small peck, stepping into a shadow and leaving the room through the gap in the window, in the face of Zhao Min’s suddenly flushed complexion.
He then hurried off in a precise direction.
It shouldn’t be so soon, should it?
They have backgrounds and family power, and they hold a grudge against me. The malice I sense through Spirit Perception is almost becoming substantive; it’s not easy for me either...
"Dammit! Who exactly does he work for? He has no respect for the rules!"
After leaving Xiangyang, the eight men each mounted a horse and rode swiftly along the official road.
The pale, beardless leader now looked grim and ruthless.
The other party was definitely not someone from his hero lexicon, he had at least seen photos of significant family scions from the Inner City!
Someone so handsome, he couldn’t possibly forget.
So, there was only one answer!
"He’s not the offspring of some major family at all, he’s just talented, which is why his background is clean enough to be highly utilized by the Suns."
"Damn it, someone only brave with a noble’s backing."
"It was too frustrating earlier, one man using the natives to deal with us. Does he think he can stay by the side of the natives all the time?"
"What should we do now? Just slink back home ?"
Some among them felt indignant, having traveled a thousand miles, only to find that all the benefits had been snapped up.
They had finally encountered the primary target, only to be faced with someone who has no respect for rules and is resistant to persuasion!
And yet, they genuinely had no way to deal with him.
"We go south! To Lin’an! He doesn’t have the Clone Technique; after dealing with these martial artists, can he also handle the officials at the same time?"
It must be said that these eight individuals were indeed the cream of the crop for siege warfare.
Even if their own experience wasn’t rich, they could learn because of the good conditions at home.
"So, we’re just letting him off ?"
Someone couldn’t help but ask.
"Hehe, let it go? How many people who have relied on a noble’s backing and acted recklessly have gone missing without a trace?"
The pale, beardless captain revealed a sinister and mocking expression, his eyes also becoming more profound.
"The boss is right, let him be arrogant for now. There will always be an opportunity..."
However, at that moment, they realized that on the official road ahead, there was a figure dressed in a partner’s suit standing quietly, watching them approach.
This made them tense up. When did this happen? How had they not noticed before?
"Wait, look at the badge on his chest."
"A special badge? A senior partner?!"
"No way, although the Titans have the strength of senior partners, they don’t have enough points, do they?"
"I remember that badge, it’s ’Deadly Bullet’s!’
Someone recognized the twin gun badge, but quickly they all realized something was wrong.
Hang on, ’Deadly Bullet’ was a person from the old Development Zone, wasn’t he? The teleportation queues weren’t up yet, so how did he get here?
Without waiting for their reaction, Tao Yu immediately utilized the high-speed Gun-drawing Technique he had learned from Deadly Bullet last time.
