Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong Webnovel - Chapter 618
618 Face
Pei Jie was one of the officials on the investigation team.
“It only took three days to beat him up to that state.”
Chu Yan also noticed Pei Jie.
“Brother Lu, you might not know this,” Zhang Chuchen said, “Pei Jie is the son-in-law of the city chief of Luo City.”
“I reckon that the chief of Luo City took out a top-grade medicine to treat Pei Jie’s serious injuries.”
!!
Lu Benwei nodded slightly. This was reasonable.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Zhang Chuchen, “In that case, aren’t you afraid that I’ll implicate your family?”
When Zhang Chuchen heard this, he said indifferently, “Brother Lu, since we’ve cooperated with you, we’ve naturally considered all the consequences.”
“Since that’s the case, I hope the Zhang family can rest assured that no one will dare to go against the Zhang family in the secret realm!” Lu Benwei said.
“By the way, Brother Lu, I haven’t been able to explain to you the division of aristocratic families in Rodu these past few days.” Zhang Chuchen added, “There’s still some time before the entrance of the secret realm opens. Why don’t we sit down and talk about it first?”
Lu Benwei nodded and answered, “Alright.”
The three of them entered a small tent and sat down. Zhang Chuchen began to explain the division of power in the Rodu aristocratic family.
There was a total of seven forces that would enter the secret realm this time. Other than the investigation team of the government, the Liang family, and the Zhang family, there were four other forces from different families. They were the Liu, Ji, Yang, and Ma families.
Among them, the Ma family of Rodu was a branch family of the Ma family of Dragon City’s eight great families. It was the strongest family in Rodu.
The six aristocratic families were all involved in the same industry. They dabbled in antiques, divine materials, and precious treasures. They were all competitors.
The Ma family had Dragon City as their backing, the Liu, Ji, and Yang families were united, and the Liang family and the Guan family were flirting with each other. Among the six aristocratic families, only the Zhang family was the weakest and urgently needed to break through and rise.
Zhang Chuchen spat out a mouthful of anger. “In the past few years, the other five families have been eyeing us covetously. They all want to squeeze us out of Rodu. Therefore, we have decided to fight to the death for the opportunity in the secret realm!”
When Lu Benwei heard this, he asked indifferently, “Chuchen, let me ask you. Is the identity of a member of an aristocratic family very important to you?”
Zhang Chuchen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Benwei meant.
“In other words, how about being an ordinary person?” Lu Benwei asked.
“How is it possible to be an ordinary person?” Zhang Chuchen was in disbelief.
“Brother Lu, I’m not as talented as you. If it weren’t for the Zhang family, I’d have been reduced to an ordinary person.”
“It’s true that the monsters have not made any moves, but you know the situation this year. During the incident in Li City and Canglong City, the monsters have the tendency to attack in large numbers. At that time, if I were a child of an ordinary family, I’d only be reduced to a sacrifice.”
Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zhang Chuchen to answer him like this. He had thought that Zhang Chuchen was like the other hedonistic sons of rich families, who coveted wealth and glory. However, the result was that he was worried that he would drift with the tide of this era.
“The entrance to the secret realm has opened!”
Suddenly, someone from an unknown family shouted, and a large group of people moved forward.
Lu Benwei and Zhang Chuchen returned to their senses and walked out of the tent.
“The descendants of the Zhang family, the hope of revitalizing the family is right ahead! We must firmly grasp this opportunity!”
The second head of the Zhang family stood on a huge rock, cheering for the Zhang family that was about to advance.
His daughter, Zhang Kangya, walked past him and rolled her eyes. “Come down. It’s not embarrassing enough!”
“Child, how can you talk to me like that!” The second head of the Zhang family jumped down from the huge rock, his face red.
At this moment, a few young people at the side laughed mockingly.
“Kangya, Kangle, your father is so funny! Oh, right, I heard that your family invited a very powerful hunter. Why isn’t he here?”
It was a group of boys and girls dressed in luxurious clothes. Their elders had asked them to come along. Firstly, they wanted to see the world. Secondly, if they encountered an opportunity in the secret realm, they could let their children undergo purification.
This group of young ladies were all from various families in Rodu. They were born with pride and naturally looked down on the declining Zhang family.
“Oh right, I just saw that Wu Lu of the three Wu brothers that you invited was frozen into an ice sculpture.”
A short-haired girl placed one hand on her waist and teased.
“What exactly happened? Do you need my brother to help?”
Zhang Kangle and Zhang Kangya’s faces turned red, and they gritted their teeth. However, the two of them were helpless.
Behind this group of boys and girls, there was either a hired strong hunter or a talented elder brother and sister of the same race.
Wu Lu, one of the three Wu brothers, finally escaped from the ice sculpture. Hearing that he had been ridiculed for no reason, an unknown fire immediately surged in his heart.
“You kids, didn’t your families teach you how to talk to seniors?”
Wu Lu crossed his arms. The veins on his arms bulged and he was filled with strength.
However, in the next second, a cold wind blew, and a black shadow descended like a ghost.
Lu Benwei instantly became vigilant and protected Chu Yan behind him.
However, the black shadow passed through everyone and headed straight for Wu Lu! A huge hand reached out and grabbed the back of his neck like a chick.
“It’s a joke between children. Why are you getting involved as an adult?”
The person who spoke was a man as tall as a mountain. His upper body was naked, and his skin was bronze. The muscles on his skin were knotted together like a horned dragon as if he could crush Wu Lu’s head in the next second.
The eyes of the girl who had mocked Wu Lu earlier lit up. “Brother!”
Wu Lu’s back was covered in a cold sweat.
The mountain-like man’s body seemed to have a black hole hidden in it, continuously absorbing his energy!
Wu Biao and Wu Hai did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid that the man in front of them would accidentally twist their brother’s neck.
“You, you’re the ‘Human Black Hole’ Ma Zheng?” Wu Lu gasped.
The second head of the Zhang family rushed over. “Nephew Ma Zheng, this is the helper my family invited. He’ll help us when we enter the secret realm later!”
“Give me some face and let him go.”
“Who are you? Why should I give you face?” Ma Zheng smiled noncommittally.
