Fang Zhou, why do people say I am a succubus?

In addition to Gray Hat, Sword Guard, U-Official, Queen's Voice, Scavenger, Arturo and others, major forces such as Thor Industries, Rose Newspapers, Victoria Bank, Rhine Life, etc. have also set their sights on this flying city.

Even Shi Huaiya, who was far away in Longmen, wanted to open a Taikoo Plaza in the floating city after receiving the news.

Chapter 20 The Scavenger is a Kind Old Man

The activities of the Victorian nobles in Jushui City once again refreshed people's three views.

At the same time, the news that the Sky Kingdom, controlled by the Tower Relief Array, will stop and open the Peninsula County liberated by the Deep Pool reached Londinium, alarming all forces.

A week later, under the watchful eyes of the public, the city in the sky slowly descended into the clouds and appeared before the eyes of the residents of Peninsula County.

Subsequently, a total of eight huge lifting blocks landed smoothly in Peninsula County. Each lifting block was equipped with a receptionist whose job was to register visitors and ensure safety.

The governor of Peninsula County was a Shenchi cadre whom Chen Zhou was not familiar with, but he was very enthusiastic and even built a number of tents for the receptionists to rest.

Not long after, a large group of people filed out of Peninsula County and entered the floating city on the lifting blocks.

At this moment, the Kingdom of the Sky is filled with a festive atmosphere. The new signs of the food stores are lit up, the Tara flags are flying on the commercial street, cats are chasing each other on the crowded streets, beautiful melodies are flowing in the Colossus Park, and tourists with cameras are walking in the quiet and peaceful Taolin Cemetery.

"They are so lucky! We are all from Tara, but why do they live so well? I'm so envious." A male tourist from Tara in Peninsula County sighed.

The cake shop owner who was packing his egg tarts shook his head. "It's true that Mr. Chen Zhou saved us, but are we lucky? Who among the people in Qie City and Xiaoqiu County didn't survive the brink of life and death?"

"That's true." The male tourist nodded and then sighed.

At this point, a female tourist named C interjected, "But the floating city is indeed the most developed of the Tara cities. As a useless electrician, I don't even know why I didn't have the opportunity to move up here."

"Shh!"

At this time, the cake shop owner's face darkened and he looked a little unhappy.

"Don't belittle electricians. All professions are equal in the floating city."

"That's right!"

At this moment, an ordinary passing man named Draco said earnestly:

"Whether it's the amusement park's rides, bridges, rails, or power lines, there are people checking and maintaining them without our knowledge. That's why the floating city is brightly lit, children can play happily, people can ride trams, and cross bridges. Because this is a matter of course, people don't cheer for it, nor do they think about who checked it when. But don't you think it's all an amazing job?"

Everyone nodded in agreement at first, then realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Hello, Leader!"

The cake shop owner stuffed the egg tart into the male tourist's hand, then turned around, took out a new cake from the counter, and stuffed it into Chen Zhou's hand without saying a word.

The reactions of the surrounding shop owners were exactly the same. They quickly took out their own food from the counter and were about to stuff it towards Chen Zhou.

"No, no, no, don't do this kind of thing."

The enthusiasm of the people was overwhelming, so Chen Zhou quickly waved his hand and quickened his pace to escape from here.

"The leader escaped again."

The bosses smiled warmly, and the leader was nice in every way except that he was too polite. He always refused to accept the gifts given to him.

The tourists who saw this kind of close relationship between the government and the people for the first time were stunned, and then they regretted that they did not ask for an autograph or a photo.

"Sir Chen Zhou, I'm here on behalf of Duke Caister to seek cooperation. Speaking of which, you're quite welcome."

In the reception room of Tajiezhen, the man in the gray top hat who witnessed the scene sat on the sofa and bowed slightly to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "I've said too much, Caister's henchman. If your Duke could put in a little more effort to treat his subjects and the people of Tara well, I believe she would be very popular. There's a saying that goes -

If you give a commoner 10% of the benefits, he will be your servant. If you give him 20% of the benefits, he will be even more attentive. If you give him 50% of the benefits, he will be loyal and unwavering. If you give him the full benefits, he will die for you and charge against any enemy. The Duke of Caister is cunning and obsessed with plotting, but he has fallen behind.

The man in the gray hat froze for a moment. Duke Castle still wanted him to win over Chen Zhou, but this opening...

"Your Excellency the Duke treats his subjects very well." He could only say it vaguely.

Chen Zhou said, "You're not so friendly towards people who are not your subjects, right?"

"Hey hey hey, I didn't say that!" The man in the gray hat got anxious.

"What about the matter between Xiaoqiu County and Jushui City?"

"Duke... Duke..."

To be honest, even Gray Hat didn't know whether it was Caster who did it.

After all, this method of stirring up trouble and tripping others up is quite Duke-like.

But the work was so crude that to say the Duke did it was an insult to him.

He changed the subject and said, "Sir Chen Zhou, do you have any concrete evidence to prove that the Duke did this?"

Chen Zhou was silent for a moment. When he tortured Hamilton, he only found out about the baron who delivered the message. When he investigated further, the baron died suddenly. The clue ended here.

"But the Duke acquiesced, right?" Chen Zhou asked back.

This rhetorical question left the man in the gray hat speechless.

Chen Zhou waved his hand and ordered them to leave: "If you are here to travel in the floating city, then I welcome you. If you are just here to convey the Duke's will, then you'd better get out of here. I have no interest in cooperating with Duke Caister."

"..."

The man in the gray hat stood up reluctantly, took off his hat and bowed, then stood up and left.

The moment he walked out of the Tower Jiezhen Building, he seemed to see a white-haired Filin nobleman, leaning on a cane, walking into the gate with steady steps.

That long white tail dotted with black spots...

Wait, isn't this the Duke of Caister's distant relative, Kjerag?

Next to him, the beautiful bodyguard in military uniform is the triple champion of the Casimir Knight Championship - Mace?

Aren't they training the secret warrior 'Mountain Snow Ghost' in Askara County? Why are they here too?

The man in the gray hat breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had a small gain that could answer the Duke's questions.

Not long after, the door of the reception room was pushed open again. Looking at the visitor, Chen Zhou frowned unconcealedly.

This was an old man with a strange appearance, dressed in complicated clothes. His face was hidden by several white straps hanging from his hat, and he exuded a faint smell of corruption.

The one that was most familiar to Chen Zhou was the dead wood scepter in his hand - the scavenger's cane.

You still say you are not a Jipi!

This also confirms the identity of the person in front of him, the king of scavengers!

The way the King of Scavengers moved was a little strange, and Chen Zhou couldn't tell whether he was walking or floating over.

"Young descendant of King Drake, I have long heard of your great name." The old man sat on the sofa, his voice hoarse and mocking, difficult to hear.

Chen Zhou suppressed his heartache and didn't look at the sofa. He felt a headache. "A lord of the royal court is here! It seems that you really value me..."

"We value you, but you didn't even prepare a cup of tea." The Scavenger King sighed.

Noticing the blackened red velvet sofa, Chen Zhou caught a glimpse of the sewer at the intersection. It had rained heavily yesterday, and the accumulated domestic sewage was so much that the sewer was almost blocked.

Then he had an idea: "Old man, you don't look like you can drink tea. Why don't you lie down and drink some?"

Niecilei's face turned dark, but fortunately it was covered by the straps, so Chen Zhou couldn't see it and didn't feel guilty.

So he just stared at Chen Zhou silently without saying a word.

Being stared at by a Lord of the Royal Court, Chen Zhou had no choice but to call Corleone.

After a few brief words, Corleone left the Tower Solution Array headquarters with a strange look on his face.

Seeing that Chen Zhou was free, the scavengers began to question him:

"Oh, you just downplayed the extinction of the Wendigo. They were the most powerful fighting species of the Sarkaz. Even the oldest Red-Eyed Demons didn't dare to fight them. They were cowards, afraid that their cannibalistic rituals would devour their flesh and blood."

The Scavenger King exuded a powerful aura and rebuked, "And now, the last Wendigo has died at your hands, at the hands of a young alien, and you simply call it respect? Red Dragon, how did you kill the last pure-blooded Wendigo? Tell me!"

"I didn't kill him. He died of exhaustion."

Chen Zhou lay back on the main sofa, his tone somewhat regretful, "Bozhukasti, the great Sarkaz warrior... Alas, there are so many Sarkaz heroes, it's a pity that the Demon King can't make good use of them. If he could..."

"If it worked, you Terran nations would be left with only a shaky existence, fleeing far to the edges." The Scavenger sneered, "Speaking of exhaustion, is this how you honor a Sarkaz hero? Such an ugly... escape?"

"Escape? No, he had already exhausted his life before he was defeated. For a hero fighting against evil, giving it your all is the highest respect."

"That's an okay answer."

At this moment, Corleone walked quickly into the conference room with 'tea' and placed it in front of the scavenger.

Nie Ci Lei, who was feeling thirsty, picked up the teacup, sniffed it, looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "What kind of tea is this?"

Chen Zhou explained, "It's authentic oolong tea from Yan Country."

Corleone at the door felt a little embarrassed.

The scavenger pointed to the scraps of garbage bag in the tea, "What about this?"

"Tea residue is normal. How about you stir it before drinking?" Chen Zhou said with an innocent look on his face.

"What about this cup?" The scavenger pointed his hand at the waste cup he picked up from the garbage dump, which still had traces of dirt on it.

"Sorry, sorry, there are some residues left in the coffee pot I used last time. I'll change it for you right away." Chen Zhou said very ashamedly.

Not long after, Corleone replaced the cup with an old one that had been gathering dust in the warehouse.

"In short, Bodracasti died a hero. If you go to Peach Grove Cemetery, you can see his final march. But you'd better not go. I'm afraid the trees will die and it will spoil the view."

The scavenger's face darkened again, but unfortunately Chen Zhou couldn't see it.

"Just as I heard her final sigh, I witnessed the return of another Wendigo's spirit to Kazdel."

"You're not an ancient Sarkaz, so you can't hear His Highness's sighs." The scavenger drank some gutter water, and his throat felt less dry. "Also, you're saying you're the witness chosen by the Wendigo?"

"That's right." Chen Zhou looked at the empty teacup with relief and nodded heavily.

The old patriot is my enemy and also my Daji.

"Bodracasti's halberd was broken, his shield shattered, and his ideals shattered by Tallulah. All he wanted was a worthy opponent and a hearty fight."

"Hahahaha." The scavenger suddenly laughed. "Yes, that's more like the man I know. I'm satisfied with your answer."

On the other side, seeing that the teacup was empty, Corleone tactfully picked up the teacup and went downstairs to fill it with water from the sewer.

On the way out, he deliberately avoided the rim of the cup, which had turned black due to contact with scavengers.

"Before coming here, I also took a look at the Sarkaz imps living here."

The scavenger's tone became increasingly calm, almost strangely kind. "You've done very well, Red Dragon. My compatriots are living well here. They smile and face no discrimination. They've completely integrated into the community... Thank you."

A "thank you" struck Chen Zhou's heart heavily.

Why are you so gentle all of a sudden?

Old man, I thought you were here to ask for punishment. Why are you saying such things? Are you really, are you really...

If I had known that you were a good person, I would have invited you to drink the clean water of the Ganges.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird?" the scavenger wondered.

"I miss my patriotic brothers." Chen Zhou explained with a smile.

Frost Star: What do you take me for?

"I have only done a small job in treating all the people under my jurisdiction equally."

"Yes, it's insignificant... But how many leaders of the Terran nations are willing to do such a trivial task?"

At this time, Corleone moved swiftly, bringing second-class Ganges water and respectfully placing it in front of the scavenger.

The scavenger said thank you again and drank it all in one gulp.

Corleone nodded sullenly, lowered his head, and his face turned even redder with embarrassment.

Watching this scene, Chen Zhou originally thought that this notorious scavenger king, under normal circumstances, would not be able to say thank you twice a year.

And in just over ten minutes, he said it twice?

"Red Dragon." The Scavenger looked up. "If you completely control Victoria, will you still treat the Sarkaz like this?"

Chen Zhou smiled when he heard this.

Then he said very seriously:

"Only the weak would stir up conflict and seize power. If a person is strong enough, strong enough to look down on the world, everyone else is equally weak in his eyes."

This is why some people say that he looks down on everyone equally.

The Scavenger was speechless and let out a terrible laugh. "Absolutely powerful? Hahahaha, interesting, interesting perspective."

After a pause, he stood up and said, "I am also satisfied with this answer. Get ready. Tracy wants to see you and looks forward to meeting you in Londinium."
