Chapter 1491: The Overlord is Shocked
BAM!
The bedroom of the overlord was pushed open.
"What happened to you, my Military Advisor? You have been following me around for many years. This is my very first time seeing you losing your composure!"
"I have miscalculated the whole thing! Chen Zhufeng managed to save the hostage! And... He even killed Tie Juzhe! The entire Tie Family is in a mess right now!"
"What?! How's that even possible?! Are you sure that he has saved the hostage?!"
Taken aback, the overlord rushed to the entrance of his bedroom.
"I'm sure about it... Including Tie Juzhe, there are dozens of casualties... his father came to my place earlier to knock at my door!"
"It's just that everything happened too damn fast! You are the one who told me that he will not be able to locate the hostage! But... he's now managed to rescue the hostage within two hours!"
"This... This is my fault... Chen Zhufeng is no ordinary person... I have underestimated him..."
"You are not the only one! I have underestimated him as well! Initially, I wanted to use this test to check him out entirely! Now, we've all ended up knowing nothing about him and causing the Tie Family to lose a dozen people! We have completely lost to him in this round!"
"Luckily, there are two more tests for him! This time, I will definitely pour out all my effort to plan the whole thing properly! I swear that I will help you unveil all his trump cards the next time!"
"It seems like we will have to wait for next time! I still need to meet up with Chen Zhufeng later. I need you to calm Tie Family down first. I don't want to listen to their complaints!"
"Yes! I know what to do now..."
Sima Liang then nodded his head and left the place.
.......
At the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
All the core family members of Tie Family were gathered there. The atmosphere inside the meeting room was extremely tense. All of them were filled with anger and sorrow. Even the heir of Tie Family, Tie Hongji could only hide behind his father in a moment like this.
"Big brother! You have to bring justice to Juzhe's death!" shouted a middle-aged man with white hair.
This person was none other than the father of Tie Juzhe, Tue Nulang! He was also the big brother that he mentioned just now, family head of Tie Family and the CEO of Chamber of Commerce, Tie Jingtao!
"Did you manage to talk to Sima, the Military Advisor just now? What did he say?"
"I did see him just now, but you should know his temper better than anyone else! All he asked me to do just now was to wait! After that, he didn't even get back to me!"
"We can't afford to waste time anymore! Chen Zhufeng will take the hostage and escape this place if we continue to wait here without doing anything! By that time, how am I going to avenge my son?!"
"Second brother, please calm down! The Military Advisor normally knows what to do in a situation like this! Let's just wait for him! I'm pretty sure he has something planned right now!"
"I don't care whether he's coming here or not! I must kill Chen Zhufeng!"
"Second Master Tie, don't you worry! I will definitely grant you the opportunity to kill Chen Zhufeng!"
Suddenly, Sima Liang appeared at the doorstep.
"You are finally here!"
Everyone from Tie Family regained their spirits and stood up from their chairs. Tie Jingtao and Tie Nulang rushed to him immediately to ask some questions.
"How do you plan to deal with this matter? Are you going to lock down the entire town to look for Chen Zhufeng?"
"That's not necessary! Chen Zhufeng will not leave Divine Cloud Planet! If I'm not mistaken, he should be going to meet the overlord early in the morning later!"
"How's that even possible?! That son of a bitch just killed my son! He knows that I will never let him off the hook no matter what! I don't think he will be bold enough to stay here! I have to bring someone to go and capture him before it's too late to do so!"
"Second Master Tie, please calm down! Chen Zhufeng will not leave this place because he has not achieved his real goal!"
"His real goal? Are you trying to say that he's not here for the state banquet?! You are right! Though he is still young, he has a huge ambition! He wanted to take the entire South Town Star Temple into his possession! By doing so, he will be able to replace the entire Lu Family at Silver Plume City!"
"Replace Lu Family?! That's simply impossible! There's no way that the overlord will say yes to such a ridiculous request! Not even an idiot would allow him to take control of South Town Star Temple!"
"Second Master Tie, please watch what you say! Actually, the overlord has agreed with Chen Zhufeng's request! However, he's asking him to complete three quests before letting him take possession of South Town Star Temple!"
"What?! I can't believe that the overlord said yes to his request!"
"So, does that mean rescuing the lady was the first quest given to Chen Zhufeng?!"
"Master Tie, you are right about that! That was the first quest! Considering that he's managed to save the hostage, he had passed the first test! Try to put yourself into his shoes. Would you leave this place if you were him?"
"I understand now! Chen Zhufeng will definitely do whatever it takes to complete the other two quests if he wants to take control of South Town Star Temple! That would mean he will never leave Divine Cloud Planet for now!"
"I don't care about all that! I want to avenge my son! I want to kill him personally!" shouted Tie Nulang.
"Second Master Tie! Don't you worry! You will have your chance! Chen Zhufeng will get this second quest when he meets up with the overlord later! By that time, I will try my best to include you in the second quest!" said Sima Liang.
"Does that mean I can kill him?! I have no time to play games with him!"
"Don't worry! You can go all out to kill him! The overlord wants to know all of Chen Xiaobei's trump cards if he's forced into a life or death situation! He does not deserve to live if he fails to survive the fight!"
"Alright! Deal!"
Tie Nulang licked his lips gleefully and the look on his face turned ugly.
........
Somewhere in the sky. Chen Xiaobei was on the Somersault Cloud.
"I have just killed a dozen people and I was awarded with 150,000 merit points! I now have 10,160,000 merit points... more than enough to save Diao Chan! The only problem right now is... when is Shen Gongpao going to get addicted to the game? I'm bored now... Let me head to the group and check it out!"
