Chapter 1076: Encountering an Acquaintance
"The Lin Family Army agrees to ally with North City and the Ice Hall. From now on, the three cities are one. However, I have a small request: I hope everyone can coexist harmoniously and without discrimination. After all, my brothers still have a lot of dignity." Lin Kaifeng said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, do you think the ladies of our Ice Hall would bully them? Don’t worry, as long as they are handsome, none of them will escape." Bing Ruxue joked.
"Haha, the Hall Master is quite humorous. Alright, I hereby announce the official joining of East City’s Lin Family Army with the allied forces of the three cities." Lin Kaifeng shouted loudly.
In fact, not far behind him, the thirty thousand troops also let out a loud roar.
The momentum was truly overwhelming.
Fang Yan was overjoyed, this was a very good omen. In this way, even if those old guys from the Celestial Pill Sect wanted to use some trickery, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.
"Alright, everyone get ready, we’re leaving soon!"
Fang Yan knew there wasn’t much time left, it would take 30 hours to get to Black Alliance City, and it was almost time. However, with the thirty ships they had prepared in advance, which were top-notch, as long as they pushed full throttle, they should be able to arrive in less than twenty-four hours.
Around 2:30 in the afternoon, seventy thousand troops, led by Lin Kaifeng, Fang Yan, Bing Ruxue, and other senior leaders, grandly headed to Black Alliance City.
Around the Black Alliance headquarters.
Chen Tianlong and Zhao Lei stayed in the room until evening before going out. By then, both were hungry, so they found a spot at a nearby restaurant.
After sitting down, the two ordered food and waited for Chen Tianlong.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s gaze fell on a table diagonally opposite, where sat a person who was both unfamiliar yet familiar. Chen Tianlong had seen this person in the Capital City, almost killed him and Li Bingshuang at that time.
Back then, Chen Tianlong suspected this guy resembled Hao Jian a lot, and now seeing him in Black Alliance City felt a bit peculiar. Hao Shuai came to the Black Alliance, and this guy is here too, could he be from the Hao Family?
It’s no surprise, as Chen Tianlong doesn’t have x-ray vision and naturally can’t see what people looked like before any plastic surgery.
However, the next scene made Chen Tianlong more certain about one thing: this person was definitely from the Hao Family. Because appearing before him was none other than Situ Feng.
Chen Tianlong was now in disguise, Situ Feng didn’t recognize him, and Zhao Lei was facing away, so he couldn’t see clearly either.
"Hey... Dao, what are you looking at?" Zhao Lei was busy playing on his phone, suddenly raised his head and saw Chen Tianlong staring forward.
"Oh, nothing, just focus on your phone." Chen Tianlong knew that someone like Situ Feng wasn’t someone Zhao Lei could handle. Luckily, he himself had reached Celestial Dao five stars, so there would be a chance for a fight then.
But if more people joined in, then that could be troublesome.
Chen Tianlong didn’t step forward to deal with Situ Feng, even though Situ Feng had killed his master. Once a conflict started now, there would be no guarantee of taking him down, and it would also alarm them. If his family first targets him, it would be disastrous.
"Dihu, how’s Thunder Tiger’s side, when will they take action?" Situ Feng seemed a bit anxious.
"I’m not sure, waiting for instructions, apparently some people from his family are on the way, but it seems half a day has passed and they haven’t arrived yet. He was just about to have someone find out what’s going on." Xu Dihu explained.
"Oh? He needs family members, does he not trust us or what?" Situ Feng frowned, his face turning gloomy.
Xu Dihu gave a bitter smile; before the war even begins, internal strife arises. He explained, "Maybe he’s afraid of accidents, given his dangerous situation. If something goes wrong, he’d be minced by the Red-eyed Eagle, after all, the Red-eyed Eagle commands fifteen thousand troops, three thousand each for me and Xue Kong, but Niu Xiaosan and the Red-eyed Eagle still hold nine thousand. Completely dealing with the Black Alliance isn’t going to be easy."
Situ Feng chuckled bitterly, indeed.
The two discussed for a while, ate some food then prepared to leave. However, as Situ Feng passed Chen Tianlong’s table, he inadvertently glanced at them.
"Hey? Principal? What are you doing here?" Zhao Lei was unaware that Situ Feng was the Third Elder of the Black Alliance, so he asked curiously.
Chen Tianlong was shocked; he had overlooked this matter and forgotten to inform Zhao Lei.
"Who might you be?" Situ Feng clearly didn’t recognize him, presumably because in school, unless one is well-known, he generally wouldn’t deliberately remember them.
"Principal, I’m Zhao Lei from class 1, grade 3, the same class as school belle Wu Mengting, remember?" Zhao Lei felt encountering the principal in Black Alliance City was a very exciting event.
"Haha, so you’re a student from our school. Are you here on a trip too?" Situ Feng finally understood, but for such small fry, he didn’t need to be overly cautious, after all, it’s summer vacation, traveling here to Black Alliance City is normal.
"Yes, Principal. How many days have you been here? Didn’t bring your wife along?" Zhao Lei grinned.
"Haha, just two or three days," Situ Feng, upon hearing Wu Mengting’s name, knew they were classmates. Seeing the person next to him seemed familiar, but couldn’t recall in the moment, thus he asked, "Who might this be?"
"Hehe, it’s my old... old friend, Dao! Taking advantage of the summer break to come here for some fun." Luckily Zhao Lei responded fast, almost blurting out Chen Tianlong’s name.
Chen Tianlong also took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled at Situ Feng, without speaking. At such times, it’s best not to speak if possible. Although Chen Tianlong felt his disguise was convincing, Situ Feng was no ordinary person. If any slip was revealed, it would mean disaster.
"Alright then... enjoy your meal, I have some tasks to attend to, I’ll be going now." Situ Feng had tasks to coordinate at the hotel and no time to idle with Zhao Lei.
"Okay, goodbye principal." Zhao Lei waved.
As soon as Situ Feng left, Xu Dihu immediately walked over. Just then, Zhao Lei urgently stood up, directly bumping into Xu Dihu.
Xu Dihu was obviously furious, grabbed Zhao Lei wanting to hit him. But seeing the familiar face, he hesitated and immediately let him go.
"Damn, dude, can you not be so rough? Swinging fists at people at the drop of a hat?" Zhao Lei found this guy weird, grabbing then releasing him, what’s the idea? Want to hit or not?
Chen Tianlong observing this action, instantly frowned. From this situation, this guy not only recognized him but Zhao Lei as well. Considering the Hao Family connection, Chen Tianlong quickly deduced that this was undoubtedly Hao Jian.
"Hao Jian!"
Chen Tianlong muttered internally, by then Hao Jian had already pushed Zhao Lei away and left decisively.
"This isn’t good, if this person is from Black Alliance and it’s Hao Jian, then Red-eyed Eagle and the others are done for." With this thought, Chen Tianlong quickly pulled out his phone to call Lin Xiaoting in the Black Alliance, only to suddenly find he had no signal.
