And then, predictably, the whole day ended in failure.

The Hua family team, used to having help from others, was completely unable to adapt to the new rhythm, causing them to sigh and complain all day long.

The captain wanted to boost morale but also felt uneasy, so he asked the special envoy, "Are you sure the five of us can complete this dungeon?"

"This is the judgment made by the Divination Stele."

The special envoy's words shut down the captain's next words.

After they've said that, what else can they do?

Hua Ning rested her chin on her hand; the long-term struggle with her conquest had robbed her of her elegant demeanor, making her appear somewhat rough around the edges.

"Hey..."

"Captain! That person has appeared again!"

Appeared!

The Hua family's strategy team perked up, and someone couldn't help but say, "I almost thought he wasn't coming. What happened yesterday? Did he get an upset stomach?"

"Never mind all that! Let's start the strategy! Today we're going to fight the Lion King Ape to the death!"

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Within just a few days, they had already been able to reliably summon the Lion King Ape and engage it in prolonged battles. They believed that once they were fully familiar with this dungeon lord, they would be able to completely conquer it.

-

Someone came to the Jincheng Card Masters Association.

"Where is Yue Yong? Tell him to come see me."

"Haha! Senior! Long time no see!"

Yue Yong laughed as he approached the middle-aged woman with an unfriendly expression. "Shall we talk in the conference room? There are too many people here."

The two entered the conference room.

Before he could even sit down, the middle-aged woman said coldly, "You really have a lot of nerve, Yue Yong, daring to scheme against even us!"

"What makes you say that, senior?"

Yue Yong spoke innocently, showing none of the domineering arrogance he displayed when raiding the Pan family's property.

The middle-aged woman said, "You orchestrated Pan Yi's affair, didn't you?"

Yue Yong chuckled and said, "Senior, you're joking. The Heavenly Wolf Devouring the Moon has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Don't try to fool me! I didn't mention 'Sirius Devouring the Moon' at all; I was talking about Pan Yi!" The middle-aged woman's tone was chilling. "You wanted to stir up trouble between our two families, but you didn't expect the Pan family, a small and insignificant household, to be so audacious, did you?"

Yue Yong continued to smile, with an air of incomprehension that I couldn't understand.

The middle-aged woman didn't say much, but turned and left after saying, "Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. It's not your place to rule the land of China. This is a warning. If there's a next time, don't blame us for turning against you."

Bang!

The conference room door slammed shut without any wind, concealing Yue Yong's composed expression.

Chapter 104: The Orphaned Son of the Li Family (6/102)

Zhou Chen received another call from her mother.

He was half asleep, still a little groggy. "Why have you been calling me so often lately?"

"Are you... are you alright?"

The mother's voice was filled with trepidation.

Zhou Chen asked, puzzled, "I'm fine, why do you ask that?"

Before the other end could say anything, a rather unfamiliar female voice came through, "Is this Xiao Chen? I'm your aunt."

Aunt?

Zhou Chen's mind went blank for a moment before he quickly checked the caller ID.

He didn't remember having any aunts. "A scam?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, the unfamiliar female voice said, "It seems your mother has never mentioned me to you."

Zhou Chen: "Indeed, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Nothing else. You're going to take the entrance exam for Shendu Academy, right? If so, just focus on that. Yue Yong is coming to see you, but don't pay any attention to him." The aunt's words were puzzling.

Zhou Chen became wary. "Why would Chairman Yue come looking for me?"

The aunt said, "Because you are the abandoned son of the Li family, and Yue Yong is a ruthless man, you will be taken advantage of by him."

The Li family... an abandoned child...

"Is there a way that won't involve me? I really don't want to get involved with any powerful families."

Zhou Chen was speechless.

The aunt said gently, "Focus on your studies, don't answer calls from strangers, and don't open the door for strangers."

Zhou Chen: "I understand."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Chen was wide awake and extremely upset.

In a building in Shanghai, Li Li looked at Li Wanyi anxiously, "Sister, is this really enough?"

"If you think that's not enough, bring him back."

Li Wanyi glanced at her and said coldly, "In the end, you should have brought him back when he awakened. It was your weakness that led to all of this."

Li Li's face turned pale. "I... I'm just an ordinary person. Bringing him back to the Li family will do him no good."

"Heh, at home he might just be targeted, but outside he could be deadly. Unless he can get into the Divine Capital Academy right away, the number of people watching him will only increase."

Li Wanyi sneered repeatedly, "Pray that your son is talented."

Li Li: "Sister..."

"Don't call me sister! You good-for-nothing! You've wasted more than ten years of your already short lifespan!"

Li Wanyi interrupted her, scolding, "Your tragic life is entirely of your own making, so don't blame anyone else! I've said all I have to say. You can decide what to do next yourself. Anyway, he's in the capital now, so there won't be any problems for the time being."

At this point, Li Wanyi added, "If you really want to help your son, awaken. It's meaningless for an ordinary person to make money. This world ultimately belongs to card masters."

Li Li fell silent.

knock knock knock.

A knocking sound came from outside the office.

Li Li snapped out of her daze and said, "Go in."

A man in a suit walked in respectfully. "President, it's time for the meeting."

"I see."

Li Li dealt with the situation, while Li Wanyi beside her walked out like a gust of wind and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Then, a glamorous woman entered the office and said with a grin, "Your 'mom' is here again?"

"It's my sister..."

Li Li said helplessly, "Lu Linxia, ​​you're not young anymore, can you please stop being so childish?"

"Hehe, if you ask me, you should have signed him up for summer camp so he could go with Ningning, wouldn't that have been great? But he wouldn't have done it, and now look what happened."

Lu Linxia took Li Li's arm, her attitude unusually intimate.

Li Li shook her head sadly, "He won't accept it. Xiao Chen's personality... is exactly the same as his father's."

"Sigh, it's my fault, I shouldn't have introduced Lao Zhou to you."

Lu Linxia sighed, then said proudly, "My Ningning is so well-behaved; she knows to make a quick buck whenever possible. Your Xiaochen is too honest!"

Li Li was speechless. "Has Lao...has he come looking for you?"

"He won't come looking for me! That guy's only thinking about breakthroughs, breakthroughs, and his family has become a burden to him."

Lu Linxia said with dissatisfaction, "He saw Ningning's potential and wanted to be a hands-off manager, which is why he came to us, mother and daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't even look at us if we died."

Card dealers are the most ruthless and cruel group in the world.

Li Li remained silent, yet inevitably began to worry about Zhou Chen, who was far away in the capital.

-

Pfft!

"That was awesome! Come down here too, Chicken Bro!"

In the icy swimming pool, Zhou Chen suddenly popped his wet head out and splashed a large amount of water onto the surface.

Captain Changming flapped his wings to dodge, "Clang!"

Zhou Chen was extremely disappointed. "Both the White Ape and the Spirit Cat came down. Why didn't you come down? You're only a fire attribute, not a water attribute."

As they were talking, the white ape, lying on its back, drifted by leisurely.

A lazy civet cat lay on its belly.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Captain Changming stared at him with sharp eyes, then suddenly jumped onto his head.

Zhou Chen looked up, and it looked down, their eyes meeting.

"...Okay, that works too."

He swam silently in the pool.

The Commandant of Changming stood tall and proud, leading his men forward.

After getting used to killing monsters in secret realms to earn money during the day and doing dungeons to gain experience at night, suddenly having free time is really boring.

But Zhou Chen didn't want to spend 24 hours a day in the dungeon, so he was thinking about how to find something to do.

Want to spar with Mei Xian?

I might as well go to the secret realm with her again.

The capital city is vast, with eighteen large secret realms, hundreds of medium-sized secret realms, and countless small secret realms.

They could easily find a more lucrative job and try to make a living there.

When is making money not considered making money?

While Zhou Chen was pondering, he received a message from Lu Qingning.

"Have you arrived in the capital?"

"Yes, what instructions does Sister Lu have?"

"Summer camp ends next week. Come with me to the secret realm to make money. I heard from Han Baobao that you and Mei Xian made tens of millions; let me earn some too."

"Sister Lu is joking..."

"It's settled then. Make sure you have time."

How many people are there?

"There are four of us. I'll call one more who's AFK and won't participate in the battle."

OK

Has this meant they've made up?

Zhou Chen was delighted to see this, and his mood improved considerably. He turned around and yanked the spirit cat off the white ape's belly into the water.

"Meow!!"

The civet screamed in terror, and then—

It floated up leisurely.
