The minority must submit to the majority; the other three will surely persuade Ota Katsumi to cooperate.

Afterwards, Chu Zhong returned to his room, took some cold medicine, and went to bed for a nap.

I need to get some rest and recover from my illness...

And the next room.

Sonoko and the martial arts fanatic Ran stared at each other, wide-eyed.

For a long time,

Sonoko spoke first, "Ran, how far have things progressed between you and Chu Jun?"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan tilted her head, recalled Chu Zhong's instructions, and shook her head, "I can't say."

The more ambiguous the answer, the more Yuanzi's imagination ran wild. Her eyes widened: "Ran, could it be that you took advantage of Chu Jun's cold and forced yourself on him..."

Recalling her best friend's two instances of forcibly holding Chu Zhong down, Sonoko firmly believed that this was definitely going to happen!

"I can't say." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan gave the same answer as always.

"Ran, you're so bold..." Sonoko's cheeks flushed: "Share it with us..."

"I can't say." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan immediately turned into a broken record.

At 2:50 PM,

Drop drop-

Chu Zhong woke up to the sound of his phone alarm.

I looked up at the window and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker. The rain was a little heavier than before I went to bed, and it was drizzling.

Stepping out of the room, I found the rest of the villa's inhabitants gathered at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Below, Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, guarded the first-floor stairwell, waiting for the impending hourly attack.

Taking advantage of this time, Chu Zhong asked Lingzi for paper and pen, put them in his pocket, and also found a flashlight and spare batteries.

"Lord Chu, do you really want to..."

Sonoko came closer, her face showing some worry.

"Shh—" Chu Zhong made a shushing gesture, not wanting others to know his next move.

Sonoko immediately lowered her voice: "But it's still raining outside, and you haven't recovered from your cold yet..."

Chu Zhong smiled and said, "It would be better if it rained."

"?" Sonoko looked puzzled.

Chu Zhong didn't say much, but gently squeezed Yuanzi's palm, "I'll say it again, protect your sister, keep an eye on Xiaolan, don't worry about me."

was saying,

"It's exactly three o'clock!" Kakutani shouted, holding a camera.

Everyone's eyes turned to the lobby on the first floor.

Soon, six bandaged men wielding axes rushed in, but did not immediately launch an attack.

Four bandaged men kept their distance, surrounding the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan from the front, while two others stood on either side, a little further away.

This scene made Chu Zhong frown slightly.

These bandaged men are clearly playing tactics, but there's no communication or interaction whatsoever...

Chu Zhong glanced out of the corner of his eye at the short and stout Takahashi Ryoichi, who, like everyone else, was intently observing the battle below, showing no sign of anything amiss.

squeak--!

Chu Zhong moved the sofa that was blocking the second-floor stairwell, creating an opening.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to help.

The four bandaged men swung their axes in unison, each striking one of the four different spots on the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

"Haha!" Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan laughed heartily, took two steps back, and jumped up, landing behind the bandaged man.

With a left punch as swift as the wind and a right punch as fierce as a tiger, he took down the two bandaged men in one fell swoop.

But the other two immediately turned around and blocked the path of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

The bandaged men who had been guarding the left and right sides took the opportunity to rush upstairs, swinging their axes at Chu Zhong, who was blocking their way.

"Watch out!" Sonoko couldn't help but exclaim.

Chu Zhong remained calm and composed. Instead of retreating, he strode forward down the stairs, knocking the two bandaged men tumbling down the stairs before the axe could strike.

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

At this moment, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, had already dealt with the bandaged man blocking her way and immediately stepped forward to finish off the fallen bandaged man.

At this point, all six bandaged men had been dealt with.

"How about that?!" Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan stood in front of Chu Zhong, looking smug.

Like a child who has done chores and is eager for praise.

"..."

Chu Zhong glanced at the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, somewhat speechless.

They were so easily lured away by the bandaged men, and two of them almost broke into the second floor.

How could they not even realize there was a problem?

"It's pretty good, but there's still room for improvement."

Chu Zhong knew that Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, had a childlike nature and couldn't be explained by common sense, so he leaned close to her ear and said, "Next time you can use..."

Chapter 98 Conan is being quiet, he must be up to no good!

After hearing Chu Zhong's suggestion, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, and she patted Chu Zhong on the shoulder, "You always have more tricks up your sleeve!"

"What trick? That's called wisdom!" Chu Zhong corrected.

Even after improving his combat strategy, Chu Zhong was still somewhat uneasy, and a thought struck him.

[20000 Spirit Essence deducted, successfully purchased "Immortal-grade Golden Body Armguards"]

Current Spiritual Energy: 40600

[The "Golden Body Armguard" has been equipped on teammate Ran Mouri, a Demon King-level character.]

"?!"

As if sensing something, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan looked at her hands with great joy, then looked at Chu Zhong.

"old--"

"Ahem!" Seeing her happy expression, Chu Zhong guessed what she was going to say, so he coughed to interrupt the spellcasting, raised his hand and pressed a finger to the lips of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

Increasing defense is equivalent to improving attributes, which means becoming stronger. For Xiaolan, who is obsessed with martial arts, this is undoubtedly the best gift.

"Hehe~" Having been warned multiple times, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan understood what Chu Zhong was reminding her of, and smiled mischievously.

Chu Zhong also realized from her reaction that even though the equipment was not visible, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan could still sense the presence of the "Golden Body Armguard".

Chu has limited spiritual resources and cannot afford to provide a complete set of equipment for the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

Furthermore, Xiao Lan, who is obsessed with martial arts, could easily defeat the bandaged man. Buying an arm guard was simply to help her better defend the stairwell.

With the "Golden Armguards" protecting my arms and fists, I won't have to worry about the axe in the bandaged man's hand later.

Once the dungeon is over, the equipment can be returned to your inventory.

"By the way, where did Conan go?"

Chu Zhong was about to go out when he suddenly spotted a short figure that had been missing for a long time.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Chu Zhong then went upstairs to inquire about Yuanzi and Lingzi.

"He should stay in his room," Sonoko said, pointing to the room on the second floor assigned to Conan.

Several people knocked on Conan's door.

"what happened?"

Conan quickly opened the door, rubbing his eyes as if he had just woken up.

The brat, always bursting with curiosity, not only failed to investigate the origins of the bandaged man, but also showed no interest in 'Ran's' battle situation...

Something is wrong, nine out of ten times something is wrong!

In my memory, Conan is not a well-behaved kid.

Conan is being quiet all the time; he must be up to no good!

"nothing."

Chu Zhong noticed that Conan's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't ask any questions. He quickly turned around and went to Sonoko's room, carefully scanning everything inside.

Bed, bedside table, wardrobe, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony...

Sonoko, Ayako, and the martial arts fanatic Ran were all behind them, and seeing Chu Zhong like this, they couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Lord Chu, is there something wrong with this room?"

Sonoko couldn't help but speak up.

"..." Chu Zhong did not explain, silently closed the door, and his gaze swept over the three women.

Doing that to all three of them would be extremely impolite...

Chu Zhong quickly withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then thought of another method.

"Shh-"

Chu Zhong first made a shushing gesture, then spoke to himself: "Conan, you actually used this kind of thing to spy on privacy!"

"Ten seconds left, get over here right now!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Amidst the puzzled, perceptive, and curious gazes of the three women, the countdown reached its final three seconds.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and there stood Conan, just as expected.

Chu Zhong immediately revealed a smug smile, grabbed Conan and pulled him into the room, then closed the door.

"Tell me honestly, where did you hide the listening device?!"

Conan was stunned upon hearing this, but quickly realized what was happening and felt annoyed at being tricked: "You tricked me?!"

"Ah—!" Conan screamed in pain.

Sonoko punched Conan on the head, yelling, "You damn brat! You planted a bug and you still have the nerve to get angry?!"

As she spoke, Sonoko, extremely annoyed, raised her hand to continue punching Conan.

Ayako also frowned, her eyes showing disgust.

Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, looked on with curiosity.

In short, no one spoke up for Conan.

Chu Zhong stopped Sonoko again, but sneered, "Conan, now that things have come to this, you'd better confess honestly."

"Take out the bugging device within ten seconds! Otherwise..." A cruel glint flashed in Chu Zhong's eyes.

I thought I'd have to try a few more times in the other two rooms, but I didn't expect to trick Conan out of there so easily.

However, Conan really does like to court disaster and pry into other people's privacy, just like always.

Thank goodness he noticed something was wrong this time!
