Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Outer Ring Road, on the road from Wildfire Town to Pallet Town.

The roads here are dusty, and sandstorms blow in from time to time, making the road conditions extremely bad.

Without an experienced driver to guide you, accidents often happen here.

On the road at that moment, a large truck was leading the way, followed by four motorcycles and three cars.

It was Su Chen and his group who were heading directly to Pallet Town to inquire about Perlman's whereabouts.

Today, however, Nicole finally seized the opportunity to push Ling off Su Chen's motorcycle and take over the back seat.

Although it might seem like he was cursing his mother after putting down his bowl, Su Chen had to admit that he felt much more comfortable today than when he sat on the bell yesterday.

After all, it's common knowledge that Nicole is really big.

When Su Chen's motorcycle and Ling's car were not far apart.

Nicole suddenly hugged Su Chen's waist tightly and exclaimed loudly, "The wind on the outer ring road is really strong! I have to be careful, I can't fall!"

She glanced triumphantly at the car bell behind her, feeling a sense of revenge.

"Nicole, if you're afraid of falling, I can switch with you. I wasn't scared at all yesterday!"

Ling was a little angry, but she pretended to be concerned.

"No, with Su Chen protecting me, I won't get into any trouble."

Nicole buried her face in Su Chen's neck, showing off her affection to Ling.

"Tch, so pretentious."

The bell gently ground its teeth, releasing a sour taste.

Yesterday it was her spot, but today Nicole took it. How infuriating!

"Alas!"

Nicole became even more smug and laughed out loud.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

At this moment, Ling was not the only one who was feeling distressed.

Then there's Zhu Yuan, who had only recently finished pretending to be Su Chen's girlfriend. Even though she wasn't actually dating, she experienced the feeling of being cheated on beforehand, which felt really strange.

The one who was more seriously injured was Caesar, who was riding alongside Su Chen on his motorcycle.

"..."

Caesar looked at the happy young couple next to him, feeling both envious and melancholy.

They suddenly started showing off their love, and it was so sweet.

Tone it down, you bastard!

They're both leaders, so why is she still single while Nicole has a boyfriend? That's not fair!

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine looking at Caesar's face, which resembled a traffic light, and quickly interrupted, asking, "Caesar, how far are we from Pallet Town?"

"Ask me?"

Caesar snapped out of the distorted emotional drama and paused for a moment before realizing what had happened.

She looked at Su Chen somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "It's about another hour's journey. Our outer ring motorcycle alliance has a unified transportation route. Generally speaking, each company is far apart and won't randomly enter other places to transport goods."

"Is that so?" Su Chen nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "So, if Caluton's son goes with us today, there's a good chance a conflict might break out. Are you all alright?"

“That’s nothing. If the Triumphs really have someone like Perlman hiding in their ranks, the son of Caluton will not be afraid of conflict.”

Caesar scratched his head and smiled brightly, "Besides, we're all friends, so of course we should help if we can."

"Oh, thank you all." Su Chen responded with a smile as well. "I'll treat you to a big meal after this is all over."

Just then, Bernice said she wanted to throw a party, and he could provide plenty of delicious food.

Tsk tsk, even though things haven't even started, he's already thinking about celebrating.

They've really become complacent.

Su Chen suddenly became alert; even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its might.

The heroes of this world are as numerous as carp crossing a river; they should never be underestimated!

Triumphant ones: You think too highly of us.

……

On the other side, Pallet Town.

This is the headquarters of the Triumphs, the current dominant force in the Outer Ring Motorcycle Alliance. Although it is not as prosperous as New Ellie City, it is much better than Wildfire Town.

In recent months, Pompey, the true leader of the Triumphs, has been away negotiating with another faction to develop new transport routes.

Therefore, the actual power of the entire Triumphs fell into the hands of Lucius, the Triumphs' second-in-command and strategist.

"Boss Lucius, a convoy has entered our territory. Judging from the lead vehicle, it should be the son of Calydon. There's also a police car behind them. I don't know what they're here for."

One of the triumphant members hurriedly reported to a thin, sinister-looking young man, resembling a coyote.

Clearly, the sudden visit of Caluton's son made them uneasy, and the presence of the police vehicle following behind amplified this unease.

It should be noted that the outer ring road is vast but desolate, almost equivalent to a lawless zone, and the police will not be sent out unless there are special circumstances.

"Caludon's son and the police?" Lucius murmured softly, his face darkening.

He didn't know why the son of Caluton was here, but he did know something about why the police were here.

It was simply Perlman, whom he had hidden away. This man knew a lot about the inner workings of the city's large corporations. He was also another pawn in his organization.

That's right, he's also a pawn, a pawn used to seize actual control of the outer ring. If they can get the outer ring, it'll be a win-win situation for both him and the organization, but if they can't, he's just a dispensable dog to the organization.

Even chess pieces have their own thoughts, ambitions to break free from control, and a strong need to survive.

Therefore, when Perlman fled to the outer ring, he knew his opportunity had arrived. This person possessed something that Bollinger desperately needed and knew many of the city's secrets.

The previous times Bollinger sent people, he hid Perlman very well and did not expose him at all.

He knew that Perlman was a considerable threat to Bollinger and the organization behind him, and they would not be at ease until they caught Perlman.

But because he knew the organization's methods too well, Perlman remained hidden there without being discovered by the police or the organization.

Is sending someone again a test, or does Bollinger confirm that Perlman is in his hands?

Lucius had deep concerns, but he was not prepared to hand over Perlman so easily.

"Boss Lucius, what should we do?"

The younger brother looked nervous, intimidated by the large crowd: "Should we inform Boss Pompey? There are many people here today, and the son of Calydon is a force that Boss Pompey greatly admires."

Lucius snapped out of his thoughts, glanced at his underling, and said calmly, "Boss Pompey is at a crucial moment in the negotiations, we can't hold him back. I'll handle today's matter."

"Get the brothers ready for battle. They'll follow my orders when the time comes."

He knew Pompey's character well; once Pompey returned, Perlman would definitely be sent away and punished.

"Yes, Boss Lucius."

The younger brother initially agreed, but then asked somewhat hesitantly, "I still think we should inform Boss Pompey; this matter seems a bit too big."

Lucius glanced coldly at his underling and said calmly, "Then tell Boss Pompey that I will handle everything and he doesn't need to worry."

"Yes."

The younger brother was startled by Lucius's gaze, and after a shiver, he quickly moved away.

"Pompey, Pompey, no one can forget Pompey." Lucius watched his underling's departing figure, his eyes sinister: "Once I take over the Outer Ring and bring the Triumphs unparalleled power and glory, you'll know who the real boss is!"

He snorted coldly and began to make preparations.

Wait and see how he stirs up trouble, then twists the truth, and then uses his superior numbers.

With all three strategies employed, those who came looking for trouble will surely suffer a crushing defeat and learn that the outer ring is not a place anyone can mess with!
