With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

Mr. Zhang was startled when he saw the message.

Has his secret concealment of information been exposed?

impossible.

No one else knew about this except him.

He was indeed excited for a while when he received the chairman's order last time.

But afterwards he felt something was off.

While other fathers and sons were fighting, he stepped in and became the bad guy.

In the end, the father and son reconciled, but what about him?

A small branch office manager.

They probably wouldn't even blink an eye if they wiped them out.

After thinking through the pros and cons, he broke out in a cold sweat.

They immediately decided to openly suppress the group's heir, while secretly helping him if possible.

He didn't want to become a victim of the father-son conflict.

So when Zhao Qingcheng asked Old Man Chen and Lu Ziming yesterday if they knew each other, he didn't reply immediately.

Instead, they waited until the second payment arrived today before sending the message back.

If, because of Old Man Chen, the higher-ups decide to cancel the crackdown, it wouldn't be a loss.

Unexpectedly, this has now aroused Zhao Qingcheng's dissatisfaction and questioning.

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice..."

Mr. Zhang opened the message bar and explained his reply.

[Extinct Arrow God: I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, it was my fault for not handling things well. Why don't you scold me a bit to vent your anger?]

At this point, any attempt to defend oneself will only exacerbate the conflict; admitting the mistake directly is the right approach.

as predicted!

Zhao Qingcheng over there seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse on him.

The barrage of messages, like artillery fire, gradually subsided after ten minutes.

Everything returned to peace...

......

It was a few hundred meters away from Mr. Zhang.

Chen Fan and Liu Ruyun teamed up with other guild members to fight monsters.

His face, however, was full of displeasure.

Kun and Skinny parted ways with them.

Everyone says that following Chen Fan is bound to bring bad luck.

Coincidentally, Kun and Skinny got several pieces of equipment right after joining other teams.

In just one day, he became very successful.

Every time she saw Chen Fan and Liu Ruyun, she felt extremely grateful.

Thank you to the couple for letting him and the skinny guy go.

That's how good luck started to follow.

This is simply murderous and heartbreaking.

Aside from infuriating Liu Ruyun, Chen Fan was unusually quiet.

"What are you spacing out about? You've been completely out of it all night!"

The team leader looked at Chen Fan with some disdain.

Everyone else is busy grinding monsters and leveling up, but this guy is just spacing out and daydreaming.

Isn't this hindering their leveling up?

"You guys go ahead and do your thing. Ruyun, come over here."

Chen Fan snapped out of his daze and called to the bewildered Liu Ruyun to leave the group.

The squad leader was more than happy for them to leave the team, so as not to waste their time in his team.

"Never mind him, let's call two people from the guild and continue," he said to the others.

Liu Ruyun was pulled aside by Chen Fan, feeling bewildered.

"Honey, what are you doing? We finally managed to get this team together..."

"Listen to me first, I have a bold guess."

Chen Fan looked serious, even a little excited.

"I think Old Man Chen might be my father."

"what???"

Liu Ruyun was taken aback at first, then looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Did your hair loss remove all the wrinkles from your head?"

“If he’s your father, I, Liu Ruyun, will eat this staff.”

"Please, can you think of something practical instead of such far-fetched ideas?!"

"No, honey, let me explain!"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Chen Fan immediately became anxious.

"Think back to the first day we met him, wasn't his attitude extremely rude!"

Liu Ruyun thought for a moment and hesitated.

“It’s terrible, so what?”

"No, no, no, we only invited him to join our team, his reaction was clearly a bit over the top."

"There are plenty of people with tempers, but that doesn't prove anything."

Liu Ruyun crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"But if we add the two subsequent conflicts, it seems...deliberate?"

Chen Fan thought for a long time before coming up with this word.

Before Liu Ruyun could speak, he continued,

"The guild had already retreated by then, but he still called everyone back, just to kill a few of us."

"So what do you mean?"

“He’s my father! He holds a grudge against us because of what happened to Xiaolu, which is why he kills us whenever he sees us.”

Chen Fan spoke with a serious expression and unwavering conviction.

He carefully recalled everything about Old Man Chen and became increasingly convinced of his guess.

His ID name is Old Man Chen, and his father's surname is also Chen.

They are about the same age, and if they don't look alike, they must have had their appearance altered.

Moreover, they were in the same starting village as them, so they are very likely from Morningwind City.

Coupled with that stubborn and obnoxious attitude, it's definitely his father!

He didn't think about it in that way at first.

But ever since he saw what looked like his father's back in the villa area, he's been racking his brains.

The thought process is incredibly clear!

All the details were quickly put together!

Looking at his confident demeanor, Liu Ruyun was half-believing and half-doubting.

"But... what if it isn't..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan revealed a smug smile.

"That's easy, just go see my dad and you'll know."

If his father really does move into the villa area, then the houses in Happiness Community will definitely be empty.

Whether it's true or false, you can tell at a glance!

The thought that Old Man Chen might be his biological father made Chen Fan impatient.

"I'm logging off now. Wait for my good news at home."

After he finished speaking, he went offline.

Liu Ruyun frowned slightly, shook her head, and sighed.

I was so blind back then.

Is blond hair really that charming?

Even daydreaming is so unrealistic...

Hopeless...

......

Demon world.

The City at Dusk.

The city is gripped by a tense atmosphere after such a severe attack and destruction.

Lord Greg tried to kill the intruder but failed, and the intruder escaped.

The news spread quickly.

All the demons were filled with unease, partly because they feared that Lord Greg would be angered and cause bloodshed for miles around.

On the other hand, there's the worry that the human might come back and launch a surprise attack.

"Have you heard? The area from the City Lord's Mansion to the West Gate has been completely destroyed. That old devil is dead."

"Oh my god, this is outrageous! How dare a human cause trouble in the Demon Realm? They deserve to be skinned alive!"

"That's right, if I were to run into him, I would definitely cleave him into four pieces with one strike."

"Heh, I heard even Captain Otto, who guarded the treasure vault, was blasted into charcoal. You? Forget it..."

"Even Lord Greg couldn't stop that human, and you two think you're better than Lord Greg?"

"I'm just stating my opinion; it has nothing to do with my actual ability."

"Ha, the king of verbal sparring."

"..."

Chen Beixuan, shrouded in black mist, chuckled to himself as he listened to the demons' chatter.

As expected, people of all races love to gossip and brag.

They were unaware that the culprits who attacked and destroyed the city were right beside them.

Still spouting nonsense, they'll all be sent away soon.

The black mist trembled slightly twice, its gaze fixed on the center of the teleportation array in the distance.

Greg was confronting and talking with Carlisle.

Pedro was assigned to the East Gate, the closest point to the battlefield space passage.

That's right, they don't plan to go back the way they came.

Instead, they planned to destroy the teleportation array and then launch a surprise attack.

Fight your way out through the spatial passage on the main battlefield!

At this moment, Kalis and Greg headed out of the city together.

He has clearly accepted Kalis's challenge.

Chen Beixuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he waited for the two to walk away.

He made his way through the crowd to the center of the five teleportation arrays, ready to make his move.

But just as he raised his staff, something unexpected happened!

......
