Excessive ferocity due to caution

"But there is someone who can."

Zhao Yi's words startled Xu Shengzhi.

But then he immediately thought of someone.

Xu Shengzhi's eyes lit up.

"Boss Feng has come to the ruined city too?"

"However, it seems that Boss Feng... isn't in control..."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.

Xu Shengzhi hurriedly pulled his phone out of the pocket behind his back and answered the call.

"Feed?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the other end.

"You're not Zhao Yi... Let Zhao Yi answer the phone."

Xu Shengzhi glanced at Zhao Yi, and the two exchanged a brief look before Zhao Yi took the phone from Xu Shengzhi's hand.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Yi said lazily.

"Do you still remember my voice?"

The sinister tone was permeated with a chilling resentment.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

"Why don't you remember?"

"Lü Hong, Boss Lü."

"I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon, and now you're finally here."

On the other end of the phone, Lü Hong's eyes narrowed.

The area where he stood was filled with mutilated corpses. One assassin, whose body was reduced to half its original size, was a bloody mess and was being dragged along the ground by the servants behind Lü Hong, who had tied him to a rope.

He was still alive, barely clinging to life.

The communicator belonged to this suicide soldier.

He was under Xu Shengzhi's command and was responsible for monitoring this area.

The assassin's plan was flawless; he was captured because the enemy was too powerful.

Before the divine eyes of the Sovereign, all pretense is futile.

At this moment, Lü Hong originally wanted to give Zhao Yi a "surprise", but Zhao Yi's calm and even prepared attitude made him extremely unhappy!

Remembering Zhao Yi's mockery on the phone earlier, and her son's future, Lü Hong was filled with rage!

"Zhao Yi, don't be so smug..."

Lu Hong turned on the video and showed Zhao Yi the corpses on the ground nearby, as well as the assassin who had been cut in half and was barely clinging to life. Her smile was cruel.

"Did you see that?"

"This is what happens to you!"

"You'd better hide well, or I'll catch you!"

Zhao Yi took a sip of tea.

"I'm in the east of the city. A new casino has been built here, and there are many friends who have come from the capital."

"You are welcome anytime."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Lü Hong's reply.

"Old Xu, make sure all the spies from the Jie Sect are removed."

"The person I'm waiting for has arrived."

"By the way, tell Wu Liang and Yun Fang... to make the necessary arrangements."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Zhao Yi tossed the phone to Xu Shengzhi, who quickly gave the order and went to make arrangements.

Zhao Yi also stood up, walked to the railing, and said to the people below who were still gambling frantically:

"Everyone..."

"I have good news for you."

The commotion immediately stopped, and they looked at Zhao Yi, who was standing by the white stone railing on the second floor, with tense expressions.

"The Lü family has arrived."

"That's right...it's the guy behind the scenes in the capital who's been writing long articles and stirring up public opinion."

"I told them my location, and Lü Hong will be here soon with the Lü family."

"And if the Lü family wants to save you... then the casino's gambling will end prematurely."

The people on the first floor looked at each other in bewilderment.

Some were overjoyed, while others doubted the veracity of Zhao Yi's words.

However, their disorientation lasted only a few minutes before a roar burst in from outside the casino:

"Zhao Yi, you brat, come out and face your death!!"

Upon hearing this noise, the people gambling on the first floor immediately became agitated!

"The Lü family has really arrived! That's wonderful!"

"We're saved!"

"Tsk tsk, that damn Zhao Yi, I knew he'd get what's coming to him!"

"What goes around comes around. Look at his face, still pretending to be calm. He'll be kneeling down and begging for mercy like a dog in a minute!"

"This abandoned city isn't any good either. Look at these damned bastards, actually working for a murderer. They must be filthy, stinking rats. I suggest that after we break the seal, we cleanse this abandoned city together and purify its filth!"

"Exactly! Rather than letting this place be tainted by a bunch of stinking rats, it's better to clean it all up. An empty city looks much cleaner!"

With the support of the roars outside, the gamblers from the capital inside felt much more at ease, and their aura was completely different from before!

We're confident now!

What is the Lü family?

That is the embodiment of justice!

Absolute justice that is willing to sacrifice one's own interests to speak out for ordinary people in the capital!

In the capital, any headlines about the Lü family are filled with praise and positive feedback, with blessings always appearing below, unlike other forces that always have something to be criticized about them!

Why?

What else could it be!

Of course, it's because the Lü family embodies truth, goodness, and beauty!

The people of the capital city could hardly believe how incredibly fortunate they were to be born into the Lü family.

There, the spring breeze is intoxicating, and the grass is lush and green.

People are free and equal, and they are united in their efforts to relieve the suffering of people in other parts of the capital!

In such a utopia, even excrement must smell good, right?

Otherwise, how could there be so many dogs?

Who wouldn't believe in such a righteous and great force?

The Lü family must have discovered their disappearance, which is why they rushed from the capital to kill Zhao Yi and rescue these people who were in danger for the sake of justice!

"Zhao Yi!"

"Don't be a coward! I'm giving you only one minute to come out and face your death, or I'll raze the casino to the ground!"

Lü Hong's powerful voice resounded again, deafeningly loud!

Inside the casino, many people were trembling with excitement!

"The Lü family truly deserves to be called the saviors of the capital!"

"Light is coming!"

"Do you guys remember the highly-rated movie 'Saving Ryan, the Big Dog,' which was filmed at the Lücheng Cinema back then? I watched it hundreds of times when I was a kid, and I cried every time I watched it! It was a realistic film! The Lü family would never abandon anyone! They really... I cried so much!"

There was a commotion inside the casino. The assassins on the side wanted to draw their swords to control the situation, but Zhao Yi gently pressed his palm down, signaling them not to kill.

The assassins pushed aside the rioting crowd, making way for Zhao Yi, who then walked out of the casino and into the dazzling world outside.

A large crowd gathered around, looking menacing!

Leading the group was none other than Lü Hong, whose face was contorted with rage and cruelty.

"Boss Lü...you've finally arrived."

Zhao Yi's lips curled up, remaining completely unmoved despite the other party's deliberate pressure.

Behind him stood a hooded attendant in a black robe, who stood ramrod straight, like a pine tree in the wind!
