Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The Guild Headquarters Building is located in the eastern section of Xingfuli Community.

The man in the suit pushed open the basement door.

A pungent smell, like rotten apples, wafted through the damp air.

Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, the man frowned, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his mouth and nose, and glanced at the emaciated figure slumped over in the prison cell.

He glanced to his left and right, his eyes filled with anger:

"These old things! I told you to clean them regularly, what have you been doing all this time?!"

The surrounding guards trembled and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Zhou, we've been cleaning every day, but lately... we've been getting so many people coming in that we're running out of rooms..."

Before they could finish speaking, Zhou Kang sneered and said:

"Not enough? How could it not be enough? Sometimes, you can't be too rigid in your approach; you have to be flexible."

He pointed to the figure in the cell and said:

"They're not prisoners, why do we have to lock them up here? Composting room, boiler room, suicide squad... We have so many places where we're short of supplies, why not let the veterans use their remaining energy? It's a win-win situation, everyone benefits."

Everyone's expression changed drastically:

"But, Chairman Zhou, this...this isn't quite right. If we really do these things openly, I'm afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of? If you don't have any drive, how can you build a career?"

Zhou Kang sneered, patted the guard captain on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"If we do it cleanly, no one will know..."

The guard captain shuddered, feeling the terrifying power of Zhou Kang's eighth-order power. He remained silent for a long time before nodding woodenly.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhou Kang's face. Just then, a sneer came from deep within the prison cell.

"Beast...scum...pah!"

Zhou Kang slowly turned his head, looking at the gaunt figure nailed upside down to the cross, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You still have the energy to speak? It seems I've been treating you too well."

"Heh... You unfilial son, you're still alive, how could your father bear to die?"

The voice was extremely weak, but the eyes were frighteningly bright.

He stared intently at Zhou Kang, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"What good stuff have you prepared today? Hurry up and bring it over for your father to see."

Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, Zhou Kang narrowed his eyes, then smiled after a moment:

"Hua Wuye, all you can do is talk a good game."

Before he could finish speaking, a brightly lit door opened beside him.

A spotted hyena the size of a pickup truck slowly emerged, its green eyes scanning the elderly men in the surrounding cells as if eyeing some delicious prey.

"Go ahead, I know you're hungry."

"Awoo!"

The hyena let out a cheer and pounced to one side. Soon, accompanied by the agonizing screams of teeth tearing flesh, the cries echoed through the underground space.

Several guards shuddered and turned their heads away, unable to bear it.

"Zhou Kang, you beast, come at me if you dare!!!"

Hua Wuye's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled violently on the cross.

The long nails embedded in his limbs rubbed against his flesh, tearing open the wounds, and large drops of blood dripped onto the ground.

The stench of blood filled the air, and the hyenas' attacks became even more ferocious.

Zhou Kang's smile grew even more delighted:

"That's the expression, Hua Wuye. Shout, why aren't you shouting anymore? What can you do now?"

Zhou Kang grinned crookedly, walked up to Hua Wuye, raised his foot, and kicked him in the stomach.

wow-

Hua Wuye, who was cursing angrily, paused, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became even paler.

He opened his mouth weakly, his throat trembled, but no sound came out.

Through his blurry vision, Zhou Kang slowly squatted down, reached out, and shoved a phone into his face.

Ding-dong-

A crisp notification sound rang out, and several ellipses appeared on the screen.

After a moment of silence, lively music suddenly started playing.

"His chubby nose is like a hairdryer, blowing away all his worries and troubles. He loves to jump high and low in mud puddles..."

The music stopped abruptly, and a cold, mechanical voice announced:

"Ding! Facial recognition complete—Overseas Assistant Officer Hua Wuye has successfully checked in. We're glad you're still alive."

After the notification tone ended, Zhou Kang put away his phone, stood up, and kicked Hua Wuye again.

"If you weren't afraid of losing contact and being contacted by other branches of Wuyou Township, would you still be alive today?"

"But don't worry, you'll be free soon too..."

Zhou Kang smiled and said:

"Your colleague, Wu Haowen, seems to have run into some trouble at the Ancient Capital University. Coincidentally, we just received an unusual message about him. Chairman Xu has already led his men there, and now... he has probably taken them all down."

"Ancient Capital University, what a wonderful place! We must thank you, Wuyou Township, for this great gift."

After saying that, he kicked Hua Wuye in the face with his leather shoe:

"Don't worry, I'll let you make the most of your last bit of value, at least... enough to trick us into giving you supplies for the next Worry-Free Land."

Just then, there was a knock on the basement door.

"Open the door, we've brought back some trash."

The guards, unsuspecting, opened the gate.

When Wang Fugui came into view, the guards were stunned.

"Old Wang, why are you the only one who came back? Where are the others? Where's the good-for-nothing?"

The next second, the wolf-headed hammer roared, answering their questions.

Bang bang bang!

The heads of several guards exploded like watermelons, and the heavy stench of blood filled the entire basement.

"Awoo!"

The hyena looked towards the doorway, baring its teeth.

"Something happened?"

Zhou Kang covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf and frowned as he looked towards the door.

But when he saw who it was, he paused for a moment, then scoffed:

"Heh, I thought it was someone important. A few ninth-ranked players, daring to break into my guild building?"

"Since you've come to us, don't leave."

Zhou Kang's face was full of contempt, but his actions were decisive.

As they spoke, four more summoning gates opened, and ferocious beasts, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, slowly emerged.

"Three eighth-sequence summons and two ninth-sequence summons—no wonder Wu Haowen said this guy is the hidden powerhouse."

Zhong Mo looked at Zhou Kang, a look of seriousness flashing across his face, and gripped the heavy hammer tightly.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

The next second, a roar like a dragon was heard, and Zhong Mo crashed out like a dump truck, heading straight for Zhou Kang.

"Hehe, I guessed it."

Zhou Kang chuckled softly, and behind him, another door opened.

"Spirit Fusion!"

A pair of snake eyes, the size of lanterns, appeared and slowly overlapped with Zhou Kang's eyes.

A terrifying aura surged skyward, and Zhou Kang grinned maliciously:

"With the power of two eighth-order sequences, it's an honor for you to die under my full force."

Before he could finish speaking, a hoarse hiss was heard. Zhou Kang's arms writhed like snakes and stretched out instantly. His left arm, like a snake's tail, tightly wrapped around Zhong Mo, while his right arm, like a snake's head, lunged at Zhong Mo's head.

Zhong Mo raised the wolf-headed hammer and wedged it between the snake's sharp teeth.

Click—click—

The sharp teeth rubbed against the heavy hammer, producing a hoarse hiss.

The snake tails wrapped around his body tighter and tighter. Zhong Mo's face turned red, and he opened his mouth frantically, but he couldn't breathe.

A faint creaking sound came from my chest, and my vision slowly blurred.

The heavy hammer in Zhong Mo's hand slowly fell, and the snake's teeth had already touched the top of his head.

"Brother Zhong Mo!"

Kong Changhao exclaimed in surprise and tried to go to help, but he was tightly entangled by a spider-like summoned beast.

The others were also tied up and filled with anxiety.

"Hahaha, that's the look on your face. Just wait, once he's dead, you'll be the next... um, what is it?"

My hands seemed to be held in place by an invisible force.

Zhou Kang's smile vanished abruptly, veins bulging on his face. He exerted all his strength, but could no longer lower the snake's head even an inch.

"No...impossible!"

Zhou Kang's face was full of disbelief, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

Without any hesitation, he released Zhong Mo and turned to run into the secret passage.

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. Let me lie low for a while, and then I'll take care of whoever it is... wait, whose body is this?"

Zhou Kang stared at the half-shoe on the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

Just as I was thinking this, my feet suddenly lost their footing, and my gaze slowly plummeted downwards.

"Oh! My legs!"

Zhou Kang belatedly screamed and turned to look at the young man holding the little girl.

"No, no, you can't kill me! We have a hidden treasure vault here, and no one knows its location except me. Without me, you'll get nothing!"

Xiao Yun raised her eyes, looked at him with pity, and said calmly:

"You're talking about the secret room beneath the chessboard in the middle of the pavilion by the artificial lake in the west area, right? The solution is to flip the table when you encounter a losing situation, right?"

Zhou Kang stood frozen in place, forgetting even the pain of having his legs amputated.

"How...how did you know?"

This young man, whom I've never met before, not only knew the location of the secret room, but also revealed the solution to unlock it in a single sentence.

"Impossible, impossible, how could you possibly know? How could it be!"

Zhou Kang shook his head like a madman, hugging Xiao Yun's leg, crying and laughing at the same time:

"Let me go! I'm still useful, really, I still have value!"

"Value...heh, you do have a little bit."

Xiao Yun sneered and kicked him aside:

"I'll spare your life, but once I find the rest of the scum, I'll throw them all at the other neighbors to vent my anger."

"No, no, no! Please don't!"

Watching Zhou Kang being dragged out by Zhong Mo, Hua Wuye chuckled hoarsely and spat:

"You bastard, you deserved it! Good riddance!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Yun, forcing a smile:

"Brother, thanks. Give me a hand and put me down. I'll personally send that bastard on his way in a bit."

Xiao Yun frowned.

The guy in front of me was covered in blood and his condition was almost at rock bottom; any rat could kill him.

Even so, his demeanor remained erratic, his gaze on the other person both fiery and frivolous.

Like a brazen, blond-haired thug on the street.

"People from the Land of No Worries even have this kind of temperament..."

Xiao Yun looked at Hua Wuye lying on the cross, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat complicated.

"The Hanged Man?"
