Chapter 254: Chapter 253: City Lord of Anshan City (Please Subscribe)

Anshan City, mountaintop villa.

This is the highest and most luxurious place in the city.

The area alone covers tens of thousands of square meters, with facilities such as swimming pools and golf courses complete.

On top of the three-story villa, several military helicopters are even parked.

The inside of the villa is even more magnificent, like a palace.

At this moment, several women with hot figures and scantily dressed are playing in the pool outside the villa, occasionally casting flirtatious glances at the two men on the shore.

"Brother Yan, your days are truly carefree and enviable."

On the shore, a man with a buzz cut lying on a lounge chair looked at the women in the pool and laughed, "With a city under your control and beauties in your arms, tsk tsk tsk."

"Brother Du’s words truly flatter me."

The man beside him smiled and shook his head, "If Brother Du wants such days, isn’t it just a matter of a single thought? If Brother Du wants my position as City Lord, one word, and I’ll hand it over directly."

Du Hao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Brother Yan, you have quite the guts, but I don’t have that thought for now."

Yan Ming’s smile deepened upon hearing this.

But what he said earlier was not just polite words.

If the other party truly wanted it, he could give it up, because he could gain more compared to losing a city lord position.

"Brother Du."

As he spoke, a cigarette box appeared in his hand, from which he drew a cigar and handed it over.

After the other party took it, he snapped his right fingers, and the cigar lit up instantly.

"Hahaha," Du Hao laughed when he saw this, "Brother Yan’s control over flame superpower is getting higher and higher. I’m afraid it won’t take long before you catch up with Lord Yan Monarch."

"Brother Du flatters me. Lord Yan Monarch is undoubtedly an A-level Awakened, while I am merely a C-level Awakened. How could I be worthy of comparison?"

After saying that, Yan Ming also lit one for himself.

"Brother Yan, don’t all A-level Awakened grow up from C-level? Take it slow."

Du Hao slowly exhaled a smoke ring, turned his head, and asked, "Brother Yan, you invited me over this time, saying there was good news. I wonder what it is?"

Yan Ming smiled and asked, "I wonder if Brother Du would like a Celestial God Fruit?"

"Celestial God Fruit!"

Du Hao’s expression changed, and a burning look appeared in his eyes.

The Celestial God Fruit can significantly increase the Spiritual Power of Awakened, especially for C-level and below, its effect is even more pronounced.

Many C-level Awakened have broken through to B-level thanks to this thing.

However, this thing is extremely precious, sold at 50,000 points each in the Association, and even for him, it is not easy to buy one.

"Could it be that Brother Yan?"

"That’s right."

Yan Ming smiled, "I know the location of a Celestial God Tree."

Du Hao’s breath immediately quickened, his body leaned forward, and his eyes stared straight at the other party.

Knowing the location of a Celestial God Tree.

Wouldn’t that mean there’s information about Celestial God Fruits?

After a moment, he took a deep breath, lay back in his chair, and said, "Brother Yan has such good news to tell me, there must be some conditions, right?"

"Brother Du overthinks it," Yan Ming smiled, "That Celestial God Tree is in a forest full of Fierce Beasts. With just a few of us here, it would be difficult to pick the Celestial God Fruits, so I specially invited Brother Du to lend us a hand."

To tell the truth, there are more than ten Celestial God Fruits on that tree. If we manage to pick them all, Brother Du can take three."

"Three!"

Du Hao was shocked.

One Celestial God Fruit is 50,000 points, three make 150,000 points!

Even for him, that’s not a small sum.

Yan Ming sending out such a large gift, only a fool would think he has no ulterior motive.

"Brother Yan, given our relationship, is there a need to be so indirect?" He looked at the other party calmly, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Yan Ming smiled and said, "Actually, it’s a small favor I’d like to ask of Brother Du."

Du Hao didn’t say anything.

"I would like to ask Brother Du to put in a good word for me in front of the Jiulong City Lord." Yan Ming said with a fawning smile.

"Oh?"

Du Hao showed a hint of surprise on his face, "Brother Yan wants to come to Jiulong City?"

"Yes."

Yan Ming sighed lightly, "People aim high, water flows low. Jiulong City is one of the top mid-sized cities in Yan Country. Naturally, I want to go, but my strength is what it is,

C-level Awakened might be someone in Anshan City, but in Jiulong City, they are as common as cows, so I would like to ask Brother Du to put in a good word with the City Lord to get me a good position."

Du Hao’s lips curled as he looked at him, "Brother Yan, have you truly thought this through? Although the bigger the city, the more opportunities, and you might even meet some big shot and achieve great success, to be honest, going to Jiulong City won’t be as carefree as here."

"I understand Brother Du’s good intentions, but I’ve thought it through. I wonder if Brother Du can?"

He smiled like a blooming flower.

"Alright."

Du Hao nodded, "Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t persuade you further. But staying in a small city does indeed have little future."

"Yes."

Yan Ming smiled and nodded.

In fact, his strength was already comparable to a B-level Awakened, he just hadn’t done the promotion task.

For him, Anshan City was getting a bit small, it’s better to move to a mid-sized city, or even a large city, for greater development and opportunities to meet more powerful figures. These are all chances.

Moreover, another reason drove him to do this.

That is the impending Beast Tide that will break out again soon.

At first, it doesn’t seem like much; hasn’t there been Beast Tides in the past few years?

But this time is different from any other, according to Meng Xue, it could very likely be a re-enactment of the incident ten years ago.

Those three Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts might make a move again!

Let alone them, even any low-level Commander-level Fierce Beast would be enough to raze a small city like Anshan City.

Instead of ending up with nothing, or even dying here, it’s better to plan ahead and find a way out early.

"What about the Celestial God Fruits?" Du Hao asked with a slight smile.

"In two days, the Celestial God Fruits will mature, and then, Brother Du can wait here for our good news." Yan Ming said with a smile.

"Good."

Du Hao was overjoyed immediately, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Then let me first wish Brother Yan a speedy success."

As the two were about to clink glasses, a sound of footsteps was heard.

A man with wheat-colored skin and a burly figure walked over.

Yan Ming’s eyes squinted immediately.

If it wasn’t something extremely important, Fang Yun would never have come to disturb him.

"Brother Du, excuse me for a moment. I’ll be back soon." he said apologetically.

"Brother Yan, go ahead. Business matters." Du Hao responded with a smile.

"Alright."

Yan Ming gestured to the women in the pool, then stood up and walked to the man.

"What happened?"

"Brother Yan," Fang Yun said, "Guan Dehua seems to be in trouble."

"What?"

Yan Ming was shocked and glanced at the pool.

Seeing Du Hao surrounded by a flock of beauties having a great time, he turned back and lowered his voice, saying:

"What’s going on? Where is he now?"

"No idea, he’s been missing since he left early yesterday morning, not answering his phone, and the people who went with him are also unaccounted for. I felt something was wrong until a few people came over just now..."

Fang Yun briefly explained the situation.

Yan Ming’s face grew more serious, "Where are those people now?"

"They’re in the villa. I brought them all over. They don’t seem to be lying."

"What a waste."

Yan Ming cursed.

Just two days before departure, and Guan Dehua had an accident.

It’s not that the plan couldn’t go on without Guan Dehua; after all, with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of any Elite-level Fierce Beast resembling the Fire Scaly Pig.

But it would definitely be much more troublesome.

"By the way, Brother Yan, there’s one more thing."

Fang Yun hesitated.

"Another bad news?"

Yan Ming frowned.

Fang Yun nodded.

"Go ahead, it won’t make a difference now."

"The business firm had an incident."

Fang Yun said softly, "Someone entered the firm in broad daylight, killing several Martial Artists. The officer Lu Yang is missing, possibly taken by the assailant, likely dead."

"What!"

Yan Ming felt a surge of anger.

Frankly speaking, if it weren’t for Guan Dehua being somewhat useful, he really wouldn’t bother with his fate.

But the business firm being hit, that was a direct slap in his face!

Who didn’t know that the firm had him, Yan Ming, behind it?

"Do we know who did it?"

He repressed his anger and asked.

Fang Yun shook his head, "No one saw the perpetrator, but from the scene, it should be a Meridian Refining Martial Artist using a sword."

"Meridian Refining Martial Artist?"

Yan Ming laughed in anger, a mere Meridian Refining Martial Artist dared to pull such a stunt on his turf.

Did they really think he was made of mud?

"Let’s go inside first."

With that, he walked forward.

At this moment, in the first-floor living room.

Several figures stood on the carpet, trembling.

Yan Junwei, Tian Guo, and Bai Hong from Song Family Castle were among them.

Besides them, there were two or three others, their faces pale.

Until a sound of footsteps was heard.

Their bodies shook, and they simultaneously looked up.

Two men were walking towards them.

"City, City Lord!"

"Greetings, City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

With a thud, they knelt down.

In their eyes, Awakened were already beings to look up to, let alone the City Lord of Anshan City, who even Awakened within the city had to revere.
