Chapter 16
"Rong Yuan."
As expected by Michelle and others, Rong Yuan had no intention of hiding his feelings, let alone the fact that he would compromise as a newcomer . However, he still revealed a hint of helplessness in his tone when he suddenly encountered such trouble.
But that's all.
"Ha!" Snow exhaled, stretched his body and said, "Fight with me! If you win, I will ensure that you have unimpeded access to the central city; but if you lose--" He stretched his palms, his knuckles cracked, "Either die... or join the Howling, how about it?"
Michelle's face was one side, Mia was confused. Lei Duo's face was full of envy and jealousy. He wanted to pinch Rong Yuan's neck and ask him to agree to join the Knights immediately. He even wanted to be the one invited.
"That sounds good." Rong Yuan said calmly, "I guess you don't give me any room to refuse?"
"Of course - no!" Snow roared and leaped down from above like a tiger out of a ravine. A strong wind blew up and a huge shadow covered his head. Redo was so scared that he fell down and his body involuntarily moved backwards.
"call--"
A small breeze blew, lifting the loose hair on Mia's forehead.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
The residents of Prison Star who were watching the battle from their windowsills and the railings of the nearby overpass opened their mouths in astonishment, their jaws almost hitting the ground.
Snow's powerful punch was clamped by Rong Yuan's three fingers. The skin color of the two hands was in sharp contrast, with a big fist and slender fingers. However, these hands, which seemed to be only capable of painting and plucking strings, easily restrained the deputy leader of the Whistling Knights, and even made him unable to pull his hand back even if he used all his strength.
Lei Duo was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of the frame, as if he had seen the most incredible scene in the world.
But the person who found it most unbelievable was Snow himself.
He was the one who faced the hand directly, and the one who felt the power of the hand the most directly. Even if it was a rock as hard as iron, it would not be silent if he punched it, but he could not shake the hand at all.
But what made him feel the coldest was the other person's eyes - so indifferent, so nonchalant, as if the one swinging the punch was not him, Snow, but a mantis that overestimated its own capabilities.
Snow's body began to tremble uncontrollably . He wanted to resist and wanted to use his other fist to smash the indifference on that face. However, the fact was that although only his right hand was grabbed, it was as if his entire body was controlled by the opponent and he could not move.
——How could there be such a person?
——How could there be such a gap?
"Ahhhhhh————" Snow suddenly roared, gathering all his strength and raising his left hand!
"Ah!" Zhihuo, who was close by, screamed in fright. It was clearly the man below her, but she felt that the man was as scary as a ghost and she didn't even dare to look at his face.
"Be careful!" Mia couldn't help but shout at Rong Yuan.
"Huh?" Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Snow also changed a little.
Snow's extremely powerful hand slashed towards, not Rong Yuan, but his own right arm!
——Since you can’t control it, just give it up!
Rong Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled, and Snow's body was pulled forward. At the same time, a finger pointed at the side of his neck, knocking him unconscious instantly, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Even though he fainted, the man's expression still didn't relax: ferocious, resolute, cruel... and a little bit aggrieved?
Rong Yuan looked down and said, "Lei Duo."
"Ah...ah, here!" Lei Duo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up from the ground, his eyes flickering and he didn't dare to look at Rong Yuan.
"Go call one of their people and bring him back."
"Hey? Is this necessary?" Lei Duo asked subconsciously, and suddenly realized who was talking to him, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!"
"This guy is an enemy, not a friend. It's good enough not to kill him. Why bother with him?" Zhihuo said what Leiduo dared not say.
"This place is so messy. If we leave it alone, something might happen!" Mia said.
"Little girl, why are you still so naive?" Zhihuo glanced at her with an expression that said, "You are so stupid and ignorant." He said, "What does his life or death have to do with us?"
Mia choked, she glanced at Rong Yuan, and suddenly said: "Then what does your life or death have to do with Mr. Rong?"
Zhihuo: ...
Zhihuo was speechless. Reminded by Mia's words, several people secretly glanced at Rongyuan, and even Mia, who was speaking, had a nervous expression on her face.
Yes, even though they thought were with Rong Yuan, in fact, they were not related to each other. Although they had traveled together for several days, they could not even be called partners. The reason they followed Rong Yuan in the first place was that they hoped to come to the central city together... Speaking of which, Rong Yuan actually brought them to this city for free and safely, which made him a super kind person in Prison Star. Not only could they not give him the slightest return, but they even benefited a lot from him... Now, why should Rong Yuan continue to give them shelter and even help?
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
In fact, they have thought about this issue countless times in recent days. For example, Zhihuo, Ulves and others have made a lot of efforts in secret, hoping to get closer to Rongyuan and save more food and property to cope with future changes. They have made a lot of preparations, but they don't want the moment of separation to really come, so they have been vague and try their best to treat themselves as Rongyuan's subordinates or friends, until Mia pointed it out nakedly at this time.
Mia, who was speaking, was actually more hesitant than the others. The others had some experience of surviving alone on Prison Star, but she was the only one who had doubts about whether she could survive once she left the guidance and protection of others.
Everyone was secretly looking at Rong Yuan's reaction, and Rong Yuan...his reaction was no reaction.
Lei Duo found a man in a Knights uniform to carry Snow away, and then took them to the city center as Rong Yuan requested. The few people looked at each other, and seeing that Rong Yuan did not object, they shamelessly followed him, as if the previous dispute had never happened.
They walked in silence for a while, the atmosphere was awkward, even Lei Duo walked incoherently several times. Zhihuo looked at Rong Yuan's face, and chuckled to start a topic: "Haha, come to think of it, that guy just now looked so powerful, but he was really weak... He dared to challenge you like that, he really didn't know what he was talking about."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely. She couldn't help but touch her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"That..." Lei Duo interrupted, "Lord Snow, although he is the deputy leader of the Knights, he is stronger than the leader. In terms of personal strength alone, he is known as the 'strongest man on Prison Star'..." Lei Duo quickly raised his eyes to look at Rong Yuan, and added, "Of course, that was before today..."
"Yuxing is the strongest?" Zhihuo couldn't believe it. "Is he that powerful?"
"Of course!" Lei Duo affirmed, "It is said that he alone is worth an entire legion! In the past, Tyrant Army wanted to exchange the five streets in his hand for Lord Snow with Howl, but he failed!"
"If he alone is worth a legion, then..." Zhihuo turned his gaze to Rong Yuan.
— —How strong is Rong Yuan who could defeat him so easily?
Although she had known for a long time that Rong Yuan was very capable, at this moment, with a clearer reference, this woman whose life goal was to "become the most beautiful vase" seemed to truly realize this.
——Could such a powerful Rong Yuan be an ordinary prisoner?
Michelle lowered her head, her face gloomy.
What Rong Yuan was thinking at this time was completely different from what they were thinking.
[Is Prison Star the strongest?] Rong Yuan thought of the man just now, and he became more interested. He thought to himself: [He doesn't look like the kind of person who would be inferior to others... The leader of the Knights is quite generous.]
The captain must have an extraordinary mind and character to be able to tolerate such a subordinate who is stronger, more famous and more unruly than himself.
Central City was neither big nor small, but it was clear that the news of Rong Yuan defeating Snow in one move had spread all over the city. The place they passed by was mostly empty in the blink of an eye, and some people even jumped directly from the overpass in panic, but fortunately there were other overpasses or rooftops below to catch them.
After taking many shortcuts, they finally reached the place in the city center where Leiduo said they could rent a house. It was a two-story building built on the roof of a building that was 150 meters high. It had a unique shape and elegant style, and even had a small garden and a swimming pool.
Mia's eyes widened: "Are you sure... this is the house we want to rent?"
Lei Duo laughed dryly and said, "It's because it's too good that it's too expensive to rent out!"
Mia pursed her lips and looked at him suspiciously. As for Ulves and others, they were already on high alert and ready to escape or fight.
Rong Yuan was not surprised at all. His mental power had already allowed him to see everything around him clearly, so he said, "Let's go."
He walked past Leido and walked to the small building first, pushed open the door, and stepped in. Mia and others hurriedly followed behind him.
As expected, there were many people in the living room - many of them looked like tough guys. A tall man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he heard the door open, he said in a deep voice, "Very good... Lei Duo, right? You can go and claim your reward." He turned around and said, "This guest who has come from afar, I..."
Then he saw Rong Yuan's face.
“Rong…Rong…Rong…Rong…”
The man's reaction was exactly the same as when Redo saw Snow. With a clang, he took a step back and hit the window frame behind him. He fell out in a sprawling position, while letting out a throat-wrenching scream:
"Rong Yuan?!!"
