Chapter 32 – Conflict

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"What's going on?"

Wen Yu asked Li Dalong, who was not far away, in confusion.

Li Dalong's face was full of bitterness. "This is trouble. That Ergang used to run with Fei-Ge. They were both from the underworld. I heard Ergang even saved Fei-Ge's life before. Now Sun Aotian just went and killed him-Fei-Ge definitely won't let this go."

After hearing Li Dalong's explanation, Wen Yu stood up straight away. "Let's go. We'll go take a look too."

Following the flow of people, Wen Yu and the others headed directly to the scene. Watching the excitement was human nature.

Li Dalong stayed by Wen Yu's side, talking nonstop about some of the Camp's secrets.

Li Dalong had his own calculations.

If Sun Aotian and Zang Pengfei clashed head-on, the only outcome would be both sides getting hurt. If he could latch onto a new big thigh at a time like this, his own safety would undoubtedly improve by a lot.

And in this Camp, whose thigh was thicker than Wen Yu's?

"The conflict between Tian-Ge and Fei-Ge actually showed up a long time ago. Most of the people were saved by Fei-Ge, and we all agreed Fei-Ge should be the leader. But later, Sun Aotian got some kind of lucky break-who knows what-and his strength shot up fast. In one go he became the strongest in the Settlement, and he even seems to be a Hidden Class."

Li Dalong had seen Wen Yu's Soul Beast, and could infer that Wen Yu was also a Hidden Class. Besides, as time went on, Hidden Class wasn't all that rare anymore.

"That would be fine, except this Sun Aotian isn't quite right in the head. He always thinks he's some kind of protagonist and wants to fight for the Settlement boss position. Fei-Ge obviously won't agree, and that's how the conflict started."

"If you ask me, Sun Aotian is terminally chuuni. He really thinks it's like in novels-he just shakes his mighty body once and we'll all bow down and pledge allegiance. And look at that crappy name he picked, Sun Aotian. Why doesn't he just go 'Ascend to Heaven, Slay Heaven' while he's at it?"

Li Dalong's words were filled with disdain for Sun Aotian.

Wen Yu also felt there was something off about the young man, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that name wasn't given by his parents?"

Li Dalong rolled his eyes hard. "Boss, have you ever seen parents name their kid that? It invites heaven's jealousy. He'd die young."

Wen Yu immediately looked at Li Dalong in surprise. "That's an insightful take-so insightful I've got nothing to say!"

Li Dalong chuckled, and continued. "Actually, aside from being kind of weird, Sun Aotian hasn't done anything too evil. Especially killing-today, who knows what kind of madness hit him. But we Class Holders all know: if there's nothing going on, try not to go rubbing up against Sun Aotian."

"As for that Ergang, he really wasn't a good thing. Leaning on the fact that he had some connection with Fei-Ge, he went around in the Camp bullying men and women-of course, he only bullied Ordinary People. Fei-Ge couldn't manage him easily. This time, getting taken out by Sun Aotian is actually a good thing."

As Wen Yu and Li Dalong chatted while walking, before long they saw the scene of the incident, surrounded tightly by a crowd.

"This place… why does it feel like I've been here before?"

Wen Yu gave Li Dalong a strange look and teased him.

Li Dalong stared at the crowd, and his face instantly went pale. "Fuck-this is my house, isn't it? Fuck me. That dumb bastard Ergang-of all places to die, he had to die inside my house."

Cursing under his breath, Li Dalong broke into a short jog, leading Wen Yu and the others straight over.

"Move aside. All of you, move aside."

Li Dalong shoved aside the Ordinary People gathered around, opening a path for Wen Yu. The Ordinary People he pushed away-or even knocked down-didn't dare say a single word.

In the Apocalypse, a hierarchy had already emerged!

When Wen Yu, Li Quan'an, Li Dalong, and the others walked into the circle, what they saw was a scene of blades drawn and nerves taut.

Zang Pengfei glared at Sun Aotian with fury. The Steel Blade was already in his hand, yet he didn't dare make a rash move.

Sun Aotian, on the other hand, was downright carefree. With one arm around Bai Feifei-her clothes in disarray, sobbing softly-he comforted her in a low voice, looking as if he didn't even consider Zang Pengfei worth noticing.

Between the two of them lay a man, bare-chested. With that massive wound to the head, he was long dead.

Wen Yu saw through the little drama at a glance.

It was nothing more than the same old "hero saves the beauty" routine.

Ergang had gotten lustful and tried to snatch an innocent girl by force, only to be killed on the spot by the protagonist who dropped in out of nowhere-clean solo kill-then walking off with the beauty in his arms.

And then the thug's brothers weren't happy with the protagonist and wanted revenge for their brother.

What a classic setup-enough to write a whole novel.

"By the way, Mayor Li, what do you think?"

Wen Yu glanced at Li Quan'an beside him, whose face looked awful, and asked directly.

"What else is there to think? The new replaces the old. I'll take the loss. That filthy bitch-just you wait till I get my chance."

A vicious glint flashed in Li Quan'an's eyes as he stared hard at Bai Feifei. He could already tell: Bai Feifei had latched onto a powerful thigh; she had no need for him anymore.

"Oh, right-Mayor Li, do you remember? I owe you a favor. Don't forget to use it."

The faint, unreadable smile at the corner of Wen Yu's mouth left Li Quan'an even more puzzled.

"What is it, Brother Wen Yu?"

"Heh. You'll know in a bit."

After saying that, Wen Yu didn't bother to explain further, simply watching what was happening with a smile.

"Tian, your Old Brother hasn't treated you badly in the past, has he?"

Zang Pengfei broke the silence.

But Sun Aotian ignored him completely, continuing to whisper to Bai Feifei.

Sun Aotian's attitude pushed Zang Pengfei past his limit. He roared at Sun Aotian, "You fucking killed my brother! My brother's corpse is lying right in front of you, and you've still got the mood to play with women? I've put up with you for a long time. If you don't give me an explanation, then today I'm going to kill you no matter what!"

Maybe Zang Pengfei's voice startled Bai Feifei. She jumped, immediately shrinking into Sun Aotian's arms-also conveniently drawing Sun Aotian's attention onto Zang Pengfei.

Sun Aotian sneered at Zang Pengfei and spoke bluntly: "Fei-Ge, I call you Fei-Ge to give you face. If I don't give you face, what the hell are you? A piece of trash that isn't even Level 2, yelling in front of me. Believe it or not, if I want to kill you, I only need one move!"

Hearing Sun Aotian's words, Zang Pengfei was so furious his eyelids twitched. He was just about to say something when he saw Sun Aotian turn around and walk straight to Li Dalong's bed.

On the bed was the injured Bai Xiao'an.

Sun Aotian rummaged through the inner pocket of his Protective Suit and pulled out a bottle of Primary Healing Potion.

"Drink it. From now on, you're my little brother. With me backing you, no one will be able to hurt you."

Those words were truly domineering, making Bai Feifei beside him blush as she looked at Sun Aotian with open admiration.

"Tian-Ge… Feifei really has no way to repay you…"

Wen Yu almost couldn't hold back his laughter again. This kid was even more of a weirdo than Sun Ruixing.

Or rather-he was even easier to lure.

This kind of person would get eaten alive by a scheming bitch like Bai Feifei.

Looking at Zang Pengfei's livid face, then at that "happy family of three," Wen Yu silently counted in his head: "1, 2, 3…"

Sure enough, just as Wen Yu expected, before he even reached 10, the situation was completely dragged off course by Sun Aotian.
