Chapter 28
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Michelle knocked on the door and asked, “Brother, can I come in?”
There was no answer from the other side of the door. He waited patiently for a long time before he heard a panting voice saying, "Come in."
When I pushed open the door, as expected, I saw a muscular bald man holding a stone as big as a cart and doing squats. Sweat was dripping from his body, making the ground under his feet look like a basin of water was poured on it.
This is Anton, the number one in the Bajun family. Everyone knows that he is a fitness fanatic who is only interested in increasing his own strength and doesn't care about anything else. In Bajun, no one can order him around except the head of the family, who is respected by everyone as "Dad". He doesn't like women or men, doesn't like food, doesn't value enjoyment, doesn't care about power and money, and is not even interested in fighting. All year round, except for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, he has been doing all kinds of devilish training in his training room.
Although Prison Star is already hell, many people in the Tyrant Army privately said that if they were asked to live the same life as Anton, they would rather die.
However, all the officers of the Bajun family knew that Anton was actually a very easy-going person with a low temper. As long as he was not asked to leave, he would be friendly to everyone. Even if you pointed at his nose and yelled at him, he would remain indifferent and would not get angry at all. The officers of the Bajun family were regarded as brothers and sisters according to their ranking. In fact, there was a lot of intrigue and competition among them. Only Anton was always like a big brother and was very tolerant of them.
Howling Snow used to be known as the "strongest man on Prison Star", but many people in Tyrant Army scoffed at this, and they believed that Anton was the strongest man on Prison Star. It was a pity that this big brother had no desire to fight, so he could not justify himself, which led to Tyrant Army not having the confidence to argue with Howling about this.
But now, this false reputation is completely irrelevant.
Michelle closed the door and said, “Brother, I have something to ask you.”
"Well, ask." Anton said while exercising.
"Have you heard of Paradise City?" Michel asked. He reported his observations and judgments about Rong Yuan to his superiors, but unfortunately, few people believed his words. Others thought that it was impossible for a human to do such a thing, and that what he said was just an illusion derived from seeing a spider web in a weak state - the venom of that spider did have a slight hallucinogenic effect. But Michel believed his own eyes, and he also noticed that when he said that Rong Yuan was asking about Paradise City, the fourth brother Victor's expression changed subtly.
As a newcomer who was promoted to a cadre soon after joining the family, there were many people in the Tyrant Army who disliked Michelle, and there were many secrets that he didn't know. It was because he was eager to make merit and improve his voice that he took the initiative to investigate the legend about the appearance of the ice coffin. Who knew that he was almost sold as a slave because of his lack of strength and carelessness. After returning, his prestige plummeted, resulting in many undisguised laughs when he walked on the road these two days.
But none of this matters anymore.
Michel gritted his teeth. The vague attitude of others regarding Paradise City gave him a very bad premonition. He was anxious to get verification, and perhaps only Anton could tell him the answer.
So here he comes.
Then he heard Anton answer casually: "I have heard that it is the pillar industry of the Tyrant Army."
Michel was stunned by these words like a bolt from the blue. It took him a long time to find his voice: "Paradise City... belongs to Tyrant Army?" He could hear the weakness in his voice.
"Yes." Anton looked at him strangely and said.
Michelle still refused to believe it and said, “Brother, are you…are you sure?”
"Yeah, Dad told me before." Anton's attention was still completely on his sports.
Michelle asked again: "Brother, do you know what Paradise City does?"
"I don't know. I haven't asked." Anton finally asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Michelle stood there for a long time, opened her mouth, her lips trembling, and said after a long time: "Well, I'm fine. Brother, I, I'll go first?"
"Oh. Don't forget to close the door for me." Anton said nonchalantly.
Michelle walked to the door, turned back and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it and turned away.
Half an hour later, Anton's door was pushed open again. He frowned and looked over. Seeing that the person didn't see him, he looked around his room and asked impatiently, "Brother, has Seventeen been to your place?"
Anton said: "Yes, I have been here."
The visitor, Victor, asked, "What did he say?"
"Nothing." Anton thought of Michelle's pale face and asked, "Did you bully him?"
"No, I have something urgent to find him!" Victor asked with a dark face: "Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know. He didn't say."
Hearing this, Victor rushed out and slammed the door. Anton shook his head and continued to exercise without distraction.
At this moment, Michelle had disguised himself and arrived at the mine tunnel out of the city. He looked back in the direction of the Bajun family and walked in without any reluctance.
On the other side, after finally getting rid of Bai Xiang's entanglement - or it can be said that Bai Xiang saw that time was almost up and finally gave up teasing him - the people Victor sent to investigate also received a reply: Paradise City was already littered with corpses, and all the people sent before had died, only the children were missing.
Most importantly, the marks on the bodies showed that their people were killed at the same time without offering any resistance.
——What kind of person can achieve this?
At this moment, thinking of what Michelle said before, Victor realized how much important information he had missed. But when he wanted to find Michelle to ask further questions, he found that he could not find him at all. After running around like a headless fly for a while, Victor suddenly realized that Michelle had escaped quietly. He was so angry that his teeth were clenching, and a trace of regret arose in his heart.
Victor no longer tried to find Michelle. He had a gloomy face, gathered his men, and was thinking about his next move, but bad news came one after another.
Howling suddenly went to war with Tyrant Army unilaterally. The scattered members of Tyrant Army suffered heavy casualties under the sudden attack of Howling's group of battle maniacs. Many territories were occupied by Howling. Mingzhao College remained strangely silent, even when Howling's men were walking around in front of their college gate in a show of force, they did not make a sound.
Many of the partners of the Tyrant Army in the central city - most of whom were also frequent guests of Paradise City - were suddenly sniped and killed by an unknown force. The survivors received the news and hurriedly sought protection from the Tyrant Army. However, the four most elite combat teams of the Tyrant Army were all lost in Paradise City, and they were already unable to take care of themselves.
Many rumors against the Tyrant Army suddenly appeared in the central city. The content was horrible. The residents in the city were furious. The hot-tempered ones beat up the Tyrant Army. Some people set fire to and robbed their shops and strongholds on the streets. The situation was in chaos. The people below were unable to cope with it and could only withdraw temporarily. Many of them who did not withdraw may have died.
There were 500,000 to 600,000 residents in the Central City, and the Tyrant Army had 20,000 combatants. Normally, this was indeed the largest force in the Central City, and even the other three combined were no match for them. But when the anger of the entire city came towards them, they were like a small splash of water, which was dispersed by the huge waves.
Victor, who is regarded as the heir by his father, usually boasts that he is second to none and above everyone else, but at this moment, he feels as helpless as a child. He has to put aside his pride and return to the main residence of Ba Jun for help.
The main residence of Ba Jun is on the top of an artificial mountain that is more than 200 meters high. There are pavilions and buildings on the mountain, stacked stones and winding water, green plant beds and many beautiful yet dangerous creatures are kept in captivity. It is naturally an extremely luxurious expression to artificially build such a mountain in the central city. It is also a symbol of Ba Jun's power, hated by countless people, and also yearned for by countless people.
When Victor arrived, he found that his father Orion had already received the news. All the cadres of the Tyrant Army, including Anton, who almost never went out, were summoned and arrived at the conference hall one after another.
Victor quickly explained the situation. Everyone frowned, with worries or nervousness on their faces. Some people gloated, thinking that this was the result of Victor's poor performance and that he would definitely be punished by his father.
The patriarch of the Tyrant Army, Orion, was tall, with white eyebrows and white hair. Although he was old now, his voice was as loud as a bell and his strength was amazing. He sat there like an unshakable mountain. Seeing that everyone had a worried look on their faces, he laughed and said, "Don't worry. Although the situation is not favorable to us now, it is not that easy to defeat my Tyrant Army."
He first said to Victor, "Seventeen ran away, it won't be too late to find him after this is over. You don't have to worry about the rumors in the city . Bombs have been buried in the tunnels of Paradise City for a long time, and I have sent people there. As long as the tunnels are blown up, there will be no evidence, and the rumors will just be rumors. If the shop is burned down, it will be burned down, and it can be rebuilt. As for those who take advantage of the chaos, they can be easily incited, but they can also be easily suppressed with just two slaps. I will give you three teams, and you will be responsible for this matter."
"Yes." Victor was relieved to see that his father did not blame him, and responded immediately.
"Besides, the Howling people only gained the upper hand when we were off guard. In terms of numbers, accumulation, and equipment, which one are we not better than them? Tell the children below not to panic, and gather together first to avoid being defeated by them one by one, and then counterattack. We will surely win if we take steady steps. Anton, you lead the team yourself. No one except you can stop Snow from the Howling Army." Orion said again.
Anton nodded, and without listening to the next content, he turned around and went out immediately. He was in a hurry to exercise, so naturally he hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible.
Fettig, who ranked tenth, said flatteringly: "Big brother has personally come out to take action. It seems that before sunrise tomorrow, Howl will no longer exist."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed.
After laughing for a while, Victor waited for everyone to calm down again and asked, "Then...what about that person?"
Everyone's smiles suddenly froze.
The combat capabilities of the four people including Meifridal were among the best in the entire Central City. The four teams they led were also the most elite and combat-savvy teams of the Tyrant Army. They would go to the ground to hunt wild animals every once in a while to constantly hone and enhance their killing capabilities. Such a team was killed by one person at the same time. They really found it hard to believe, but they had to believe it. This was also the biggest change in the war that the Tyrant Army was currently facing.
"Don't worry." Orion still said this. He said, "I heard about the name Rong Yuan from a criminal who had just arrived at Prison Star. It is said that he is the leader of a small mercenary group outside the empire. His ability is indeed strange, but as long as he is a human, his body cannot be indestructible." He looked at the two people sitting in the front and said, "Boris, I leave it to you."
Boris nodded, not looking embarrassed at all. He was the third child, and was keen on inventing and manufacturing various machines, especially weapons with great destructive power. It was because the experimental weapons he made in his basement went out of control and caused the deaths of hundreds of people that he was thrown to the prison planet.
Victor couldn't help but say, "Dad, forgive me for being blunt, the devices invented by Third Brother are indeed sophisticated and powerful, but if what Seventeen said is true, then those weapons may not be able to deal with Rong Yuan."
Orion and Boris smiled but did not answer, both looking very confident.
A surge of anxious anger was boiling in his chest. Victor took a deep breath and was about to ask more questions when the door was suddenly slammed open and a man rushed in. He lay on the ground and screamed, "He...he...he's coming!"
Everyone turned around and gasped. With a clang, Fettig fell off the stool in panic.
Outside the door, a figure stood against the light, looking somewhat lonely and desolate, ordinary and non-threatening. However, when the figure was set against the backdrop of countless corpses lying all over the place, it looked so terrifying.
