This time, under Xiao Zheng’s clever handling, the turmoil quickly subsided, and the crowd that had gathered in front of the Qianqiu Group Building had all dispersed.
Meanwhile, Han Shirong, trapped inside the car, was ignored by everyone and could only suffer under the scorching sun, filled with regret at this moment.
Upon returning to the company, Xiao Zheng found many eyes on him.
Because Xiao Zheng’s performance just now had been astonishing; Han Shirong’s car had already started, but he charged in front of the car like a bolt of lightning, thrust his hand out, and fiercely slapped it, causing all four tires of the luxury car to burst simultaneously.
This was simply unbelievable, unimaginable!
It was just like the superheroes in American blockbusters.
Xiao Zheng, however, just smiled, utterly unconcerned.
Although he had displayed the extraordinary side of the Evil God, those who had seen it firsthand would probably not believe it; at most, there would only be some strange rumors, which would not affect his life.
No sooner had he sat down than his phone rang.
Xiao Zheng pulled out his cell phone, and his brow furrowed immediately when he saw the name displayed on the screen—it was Luo Yusheng from the Luo Sheng Sect!
He had already instructed Luo Yusheng not to call him unless it was something important, as he didn’t want his life to be disturbed. Now, with this call coming during work hours, clearly, there was an issue.
Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, then walked to a quiet corner and answered the call.
Luo Yusheng’s voice could be heard.
Xiao Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Here’s the thing, Qing Liancheng and Luo Qianhua have set up a banquet. They heard that you were back and wanted to throw a welcome banquet for you. So, they contacted me through my connections to ask if you would attend," Luo Yusheng said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s eyebrows lifted, and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on his lips.
This welcome banquet seemed a bit late!
"The location, the time?" Xiao Zheng asked succinctly.
"The banquet will be held at a villa located at the border between the East District Qing Sect and the West District New Heaven. It is scheduled for tonight," Luo Yusheng quickly replied.
Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Yusheng, let me test you. What do you think is the purpose of this banquet?"
Luo Yusheng paused for a moment, then spoke gravely, "I think... they have ulterior motives!"
Xiao Zheng laughed and asked, "The reason?"
Luo Yusheng explained, "The location of this villa, although it is said to be at the junction of the East and West Districts, is actually under the control of both forces; this means they have very strong control over this area."
"It’s akin to a tiger’s den!"
"If you really go, Brother Xiao, they could, if they wish, mobilize a massive force against you. This... it appears to be a welcome banquet, but in reality, it is akin to the Banquet at Hong Gate!"
"Since the split of Tianji Sect, these two have become regional magnates, skilled and deeply connected; they certainly can’t tolerate any threats. Thus, I feel this banquet, ostensibly a welcome, is actually... intended to warn you, Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "It appears you’ve grown quite a bit over the years, able to discern the subtleties here."
Upon receiving Xiao Zheng’s praise, Luo Yusheng felt extremely happy, but soon he hesitated and asked, "Then, Brother Xiao, are we still going to the banquet this time?"
"Yes, why not?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "These two people were once part of the Tianji Sect and had helped me conquer territories. Since they are hosting a banquet to entertain me, how could I possibly not go?"
"But..." Luo Yusheng hesitated for a moment, and said with some worry, "It’s very dangerous."
Xiao Zheng said indifferently.
Upon hearing these words, even though he was on the other end of the phone, Luo Yusheng stood up straight, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he declared: "As long as it’s your command, even if I were to go through a sea of flames and a mountain of knives, I would dare to take it on!"
"Very well, then tonight, accompany me to the feast."
After hanging up the phone, a hint of cold light flashed across Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
Qing Liancheng, hot-tempered and brave, was also a fierce general in the Tianji Sect at the time, contributing significantly to the growth and expansion of the sect.
Luo Qianhua was even more formidable than Qing Liancheng, not only matching him in bravery but also possessing deep strategic insight. Under his cunning and martial prowess, the Tianji Sect captured many territories!
Both were once Xiao Zheng’s most capable assistants.
Xiao Zheng, not a cold-hearted man, did not wish to be overly harsh on these former subordinates, so although they had ignored him since his arrival in Zhonghai City, he had merely issued a mild warning.
Hence, despite knowing that they harbored ill intentions, he decided to go to the banquet.
Because he wanted to give these two men a chance to see how they would act.
"Qing Liancheng, Luo Qianhua, I hope you will not disappoint me."
Xiao Zheng muttered to himself, as a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes.
In that instant, Xiao Zheng was gone, replaced by the Evil God, who dominated the underworld forces across North Africa and the rest of the world!
When the Evil God grew angry, Zhonghai was tranquil!
Xiao Zheng, Luo Yusheng, and Yun Tianlong stood in front of a brightly lit villa,
just the three of them.
Originally, Luo Yusheng had planned to bring more formidable bodyguards to the banquet, but Xiao Zheng had vetoed this, leaving only the three of them.
It could be considered as going alone into the lion’s den.
It was then that on the second floor of the villa, both Qing Liancheng and Luo Qianhua stood, observing Xiao Zheng below.
"That exceptional youth from those days is still as heroic as ever. To come to a feast with just three men—such courage is not found in ordinary people,"
Luo Qianhua said, dressed in a well-tailored suit, his complexion fair, always wearing a confident smile that made him look like a successful businessman.
He said this with a smile.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful Xiao Zheng is, he only has three men! I think his brain’s broken. Coming to our place with just three people, does he really not take us seriously?"
Qing Liancheng scoffed.
He waved his hand, pointing behind him to the numerous bodyguards—each with fierce expressions and armed with pistols and even assault rifles—and scoffed, "Even if a god came here, they would only be kneeling down!"
