Chapter 254 Lord of Anshan City (Please Subscribe)

Anshan City, a villa on a mountaintop.

This is the highest point in the city, and also the most luxurious and grand place.

It covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and has a full range of facilities including swimming pools and golf courses.

On the roof of the three-story villa, there were even a number of military helicopters parked.

Inside the villa, it was even more magnificent, like a palace.

At that very moment, in the swimming pool outside the villa, several hot, scantily clad women were playing, occasionally casting flirtatious glances at the two men on the shore.

"Brother Yan's life is so carefree and leisurely, it's truly enviable."

On the shore, a man with a buzz cut, lying on a beach chair, looked at the woman in the pool and chuckled, "Owning a city and having a beauty in your arms, tsk tsk tsk."

"Brother Du, you flatter me too much."

The man beside him smiled and shook his head. "If Brother Du wanted this kind of life, wouldn't it be a matter of a single thought? If Brother Du wanted my position as city lord, I would simply hand it over with a word."

Du Hao was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Brother Yan, you have great spirit, but I don't have that idea for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming's smile deepened.

But what he just said wasn't just polite talk.

If the other party really wants it, he can give it to them, because he can gain more than he would lose the position of city lord.

"Brother Du."

As he spoke, a cigarette case suddenly appeared in his hand. He took out a cigar from it and handed it over.

After the other person took it, he snapped his fingers with his right hand, and the cigar was immediately lit.

"Hahaha," Du Hao laughed upon seeing this, saying, "Brother Yan's control over fire abilities is getting better and better. I'm afraid it won't be long before he catches up with that Lord Yan Jun."

"Brother Du, you flatter me. That Lord Yan is a true A-rank Awakener. I am merely a C-rank Awakener. What qualifications do I have to be compared to him?"

After Yan Ming finished speaking, he lit another cigarette for himself.

"Brother Yan, which A-level Awakener didn't start as a C-level? Take it slow, shall we?"

Du Hao slowly exhaled a smoke ring, turned his head and asked, "Brother Yan, you asked me to come here this time, saying you had good news. What is it?"

Yan Ming smiled and asked, "Brother Du, would you like some Heavenly God Fruit?"

"God Fruit!"

Du Hao's expression changed, and a burning light appeared in his eyes.

The Celestial Fruit can significantly increase the mental strength of awakened individuals, especially those at or below the C-level, where the effect is particularly pronounced.

Many C-level Awakened individuals have broken through to B-level thanks to this thing.

However, this item is extremely precious. Within the association, it costs 5 points each, and even for him, buying one is not easy.

"Could it be Brother Yan?"

"That's right."

Yan Ming laughed and said, "Brother, you hold the location of a Celestial Tree."

Du Hao's breathing quickened, he leaned forward, and stared intently at the other person.

I know where the Heavenly Tree is.

Doesn't that mean we have information about the Heavenly God Fruit?

After a moment, he took a deep breath, lay back in his chair, and said, "Brother Yan, you must have some conditions for being able to stand on my side like this, right?"

"Brother Du, you're overthinking it," Yan Ming laughed. "The Heavenly Divine Tree is located in a forest teeming with ferocious beasts. With just a few of us here, it's probably not going to be easy for us to harvest the Heavenly Divine Fruit. That's why we specially invited Brother Du to come and lend us a hand."

To be honest, that Heavenly God Tree bears more than ten Heavenly God Fruits. If you pick them all, Brother Du can take three.

Three!

Du Hao was startled.

One Celestial Fruit costs 50,000 points, so three fruits would cost 150,000 points!

Even for him, it was not a small sum.

Yan Ming's generosity is so extravagant, only a fool would think he has ulterior motives.

"Brother Yan, given our friendship, is there any need for such beating around the bush?" He glanced at the other man calmly and said, "Just tell me, what exactly do you need my help with?"

Yan Ming smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask Brother Du for a small favor."

Du Hao remained silent.

"I'd like to ask Brother Du to put in a good word for me with the City Lord of Kowloon City," Yan Ming said with a fawning smile.

"Oh?"

Du Hao's face showed a hint of surprise. "Brother Yan, you want to develop your career in Kowloon City?"

"yes."

Yan Ming sighed softly and said, "People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill. Kowloon City is one of the top medium-sized cities in Yan Kingdom, so naturally I want to go. However, my strength is what it is."

A C-level Awakened is someone of importance in Anshan City, but in Kowloon City, they're as common as hairs on a cow. Therefore, I'd like to ask Brother Du to put in a good word for me with the City Lord so I can get a good job."

Du Hao's lips curled slightly as he looked at him and said, "Brother Yan, have you really thought this through? Although the bigger the city, the more opportunities there will be, and you might even meet some big shot and rise to prominence, to be honest, if you go to Kowloon City, you definitely won't have the same carefree and happy life as you do here."

"I understand Brother Du's good intentions, but I've already thought it through. I wonder if Brother Du would be willing?"

His face was beaming with joy.

"Alright."

Du Hao nodded upon hearing this and said, "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. However, staying in a small town really doesn't offer much of a future."

"yes."

Du Hao nodded with a smile.

In reality, his strength was already comparable to that of a B-level Awakened, but he simply hadn't taken the advancement mission.

Anshan City is indeed a bit too small for him now. He needs to go to a medium-sized city or even a large city to have greater development opportunities and to meet more powerful people. These are all opportunities.

In addition, there was another reason that drove him to do this.

That means the beast tide will break out again soon.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like much—it's just a beast tide, right? It's happened several times in previous years.

However, this time is different from any other time. According to Meng Xue, it is very likely that the scene from ten years ago will be repeated.

Those three beast king-level ferocious beasts will make their move again!

Let alone them, even any low-level commander-level ferocious beast would be enough to sweep through Anshan City.

Rather than ending up with nothing, or even perishing here, it's better to plan ahead and find a way out as soon as possible.

"About the Divine Fruit that day?" Du Hao smiled slightly.

"In two more days, the Heavenly God Fruit will ripen. At that time, Brother Du, just sit here quietly and wait for our good news," Yan Ming said with a smile.

"it is good."

Du Hao was overjoyed and picked up his wine glass, saying, "Then I wish Brother Yan a swift success."

Just as the two were about to clink glasses, a sound of footsteps was heard.

A burly man with tanned skin walked over.

Yan Ming's eyes narrowed immediately.

Fang Yun would never bother him unless it was something extremely important.

"Brother Du, please wait a moment, I'll be right back," he said apologetically.

"Brother Yan, go ahead, you have more important matters to attend to." Du Hao smiled dismissively.

"it is good."

Yan Ming winked at the women in the pool, then stood up and walked over to the man.

"What happened?"

"Brother Yan," Fang Yun said, "Guan Dehua is probably in trouble."

"What?"

Yan Ming was taken aback and glanced towards the swimming pool.

Seeing Du Hao surrounded by a group of beautiful women, having a great time, he turned around and lowered his voice, saying:

"What happened? Where is he now?"

"I don't know. He left early yesterday morning and hasn't come back since. I've been calling him but no one answers. The people who went with him are also nowhere to be found. I had a feeling something was wrong until a few people came over just now..."

Fang Yun briefly recounted the events.

Yan Ming's expression grew increasingly grave as he asked, "Where are those people now?"

"I brought them all here from the villa. They don't seem to be lying."

"What a piece of trash."

Yan Ming cursed.

With the departure date just two days away, Guan Dehua unexpectedly had an accident.

It's not that the plan couldn't be implemented without Guan Dehua. After all, with his current strength, he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered an elite-level ferocious beast like the Firescale Boar.

However, it will always be a lot of trouble.

"Oh, right, Brother Yan, there's one more thing."

Fang Yun hesitated before speaking.

"Another piece of bad news?"

Yan Ming frowned.

Fang Yun nodded.

"Go ahead and say it, one more won't make a difference."

"Something's happened to the trading company."

Fang Yun whispered, "Someone broke into the business in broad daylight and killed several martial artists. Manager Lu Yang is missing. He was probably taken away by the murderer, and he's probably in grave danger."

"What?!"

A surge of anger rose in Yan Ming's heart.

To be honest, if Guan Dehua wasn't still somewhat useful, he really wouldn't bother to care whether the other party lived or died.

But if the business gets into trouble, it's a blatant slap in the face for him, isn't it?

Who doesn't know that behind the trading company stands Yan Ming?

Do you know who did it?

He suppressed his anger and asked.

Fang Yun shook his head. "No one saw what the murderer looked like, but judging from the traces at the scene, he should be a martial artist at the Qi Refining Realm who used a knife."

"A martial artist at the Meridian Refining Realm?"

Yan Ming laughed in anger. How dare a mere Qi Refining Realm martial artist dangle his nose in his face and piss on him?

Do you really think he's made of clay?

"Let's go inside first and talk about it."

After saying that, he walked forward.

At this moment, in the living room on the first floor.

Several figures stood on the carpet, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Yan Junwei, Tian Guo, and Bai Hong, who came from Songjiabao, were among them.

Besides them, there were two or three other people whose faces were deathly pale.

Until a sound of footsteps was heard.

The group of people shuddered and looked up in unison.

Two men are walking towards us.

"City, Lord City Lord!"

"Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

"Lord City Lord!"

The group of people knelt down with a thud.

In their eyes, Awakened Ones were already beings they looked up to, let alone the city lord of Anshan City, who was someone even the Awakened Ones in the city looked up to.
