I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

A few days later, the group came to see a mighty river.

The Jiayang River originates from the westernmost mountain of the Great Jin Dynasty and flows from west to east across the entire dynasty. However, the Jiayang River that people generally refer to is the section right in the middle.

Because this place is home to Jiayang City, a major commercial hub with smooth traffic and convenient transportation throughout the country.

The water fortress mentioned in the case file was less than a hundred miles from Jiayang City and was extremely dangerous.

The group presented the Imperial City Guard documents, and the soldiers patrolling the riverbank immediately led them into Jiayang City.

Upon entering the city, Ye Kang immediately gave the orders.

"Everyone should find an inn to stay in, change out of the Imperial City Guard's clothes, and search for information throughout the city."

"Yes!"

One hundred subordinates answered at the same time, but after a moment, they all looked at Ye Kang with blank expressions.

"Sir, what information do you wish to obtain?"

Ye Kang smirked: "Flower thief."

Although they didn't know what the flower thieves had to do with the destruction of the water stronghold, everyone was just an employee and naturally wouldn't disobey their superiors, so they all went to find an inn.

A moment later, only eight of Ye Kang's men remained, as his close followers.

He Zhi was among them. He was quite familiar with Ye Kang and dared to ask questions.

"Sir, the flower thief isn't on our list of targets. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Ye Kang shook his head: "Lord He, your vision is too narrow. Now that we're here, we should naturally help the people of Jiayang City solve their problems. Aren't flower thieves a problem?"

"That's... true."

He Zhi scratched his head; it was the first time he had ever seen a boss take on tasks for him.

Jinbaobei, who knew the inside story, rolled her eyes.

……

A moment later, the group arrived at the largest inn in the city—Wangjianglou.

The place is lavishly decorated, and there are highly skilled guards at the entrance, making it seem very safe.

The group was dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial City Guard, and the waiter was naturally very hospitable, finding them several superior rooms.

Just as I stepped onto the stairs, a commotion erupted on the second floor.

"Waiter, my young master wants today's prize! Bring it out quickly!"

Ye Kang looked up and saw a man dressed as a guard leaning impatiently against the railing.

The waiter hurriedly called out, "Please wait a moment, sir. My manager said that today's grand prize is for Young Master Zheng. It's coming right now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and two cooks carried a huge white porcelain plate with a steamed Jiayang perch on it.

This sea bass is a full meter long. It was steamed whole, no wonder it took two people to carry it.

"Excuse me, sir, could you please let me pass?"

One of the cooks shouted loudly, and Ye Kang and the others immediately stepped aside to let the plates pass first.

But just then, one of the cooks slipped while going up the stairs and fell forward.

Seeing that the large porcelain plate was about to tip over, Ye Kang reacted quickly, reaching out to grab one corner of the plate and catching it steadily.

The two cooks were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed to Ye Kang.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

There's only one of these prized giant bass dishes available each day; if it gets spilled, even ten chefs combined couldn't afford to pay for it.

Ye Kang didn't say anything, but smiled and handed it over.

Just then, the guards on the second floor rushed over, snatched the porcelain plate away with one hand, and angrily kicked the slippery cook, sending him flying off the second floor.

He also cursed and yelled, "You blind fool, you almost spilled my fish! Where's the manager? Fire this bastard!"

The cook, who was already spitting blood from being kicked, immediately scrambled to his feet, crying and kowtowing, when he heard that he was going to be fired. He begged, "Don't fire me! I won't do it again!"

The guard ignored the cook's pleas, glanced coldly at Ye Kang, and turned to walk into the river-view private room next door.

Ye Kang's eyes turned cold as he looked at He Zhi.

"Lord He, give him a beating."

He Zhi was drenched in sweat.

"My lord... he's a top-tier expert, I can't beat him..."

It turns out that although this person was just a guard, he was actually a top-notch expert, no wonder he was so arrogant.

The guard heard Ye Kang's words and his expression immediately changed.

"This is really weird, why are there so many blind bastards today?"

He turned his head with a distorted expression, just in time to see a dark shadow attacking him.

Bang!

A fist landed right in his eye socket, slamming him into the main pillar, drenching him in sea bass soup.

With just one punch, the top-tier expert's eye socket turned black.

Just as he was about to speak, he was kicked in the stomach again, causing his stomach to churn violently. The excruciating pain made him roll around on the ground, covered in fish meat.

Gymboree withdrew her right foot, looking at the scene with some disdain.

"waste."

She uttered two words and turned to leave.

As for Ye Kang, he had already headed towards his room and completely ignored them.

This scene left everyone inside Wangjiang Tower speechless.

The waiter listened blankly to the guard's screams, sweat pouring down his face.

"It's all over! Young Master Zheng's guards have been attacked!"

at the same time.

In a private room with a river view on the second floor, a handsome young man dressed in white, with a white jade belt at his waist and his hair tied up in a high crown, sat opposite a young woman.

The handsome young man's face was extremely dark.

He knew what had just happened, but because the girl opposite him was watching, he didn't lash out, though he was burning with rage inside.

This is the first time in the entire city of Jiayang that someone has dared to attack his own people!

Suddenly, the girl propped her chin up with her hands, blinked her big, watery eyes, and the bell on her wrist jingled softly.

"Young Master Zheng, someone has slapped you in the face. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

The elegant young man took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Miss Ning, how could I, this young master, bully others by abusing my power? My guards were at fault first and deserved to be punished..."

The girl let out an "oh" and casually looked out at the wide river.

"That's a real shame, it smelled so good..."

"If Miss Ning wants to eat it, I'll send someone to catch another one."

"That's not necessary. The number of big fish is limited, and it would be bad if too many people tried to catch them."

The girl smiled sweetly, her expression innocent and naive.

A glint of light clearly shone in his eyes.

It seems a very special person has arrived.
