Chapter 241: Chapter 148: The Hospital Like a Dragon’s Pool and a Tiger’s Den, Zhou Family’s Killing Intent (4.5K)
Walking up to the Pangu Biological Hospital,
Xu Gu couldn’t help but frown.
All around were watchers.
The entire hospital had already been taken over,
sealed tight and impenetrable.
Everywhere you looked were patrolling drones and powerful Auto Men.
B-level high-ranking bodyguards patrolled all around.
There were even A-level Auto Men experts secretly stationed there.
"It seems the Sun Family is determined to package and sell Li Qifei and Pangu Biology,"
Xu Gu thought.
He didn’t find anything wrong with this.
It was quite a normal situation.
After all, in this half-apocalyptic era, cities weren’t directly connected and were surrounded by Steel Beasts and Mechanical Abyss creatures, always at risk of being breached.
Thus, profit outweighed everything.
The family invested in you, supported you, and you always needed to contribute or sacrifice for the family.
The value of Pangu Biology and Li Qifei obviously justified their actions.
However,
from what he knew, Li Qifei hadn’t actually received much favor or support from the Sun Family. Initially, due to disagreements, she was expelled, only to be granted some favor after achieving some success.
Li Qifei’s development was quite similar to that of Liu Bei, the Imperial Uncle of Han.
Just a figurehead.
Liu Bei held the title of the Imperial Uncle.
Li Qifei held the title of the legitimate daughter of the Sun Family.
Giving back was to be expected.
But, what did they mean by taking everything?
The Emperor of Han, with a single sentence, could make Liu Bei hand over the kingdom he fought hard to establish. Was that possible?
Just like now, the Sun Family thinks Li Qifei was running out of time and wasn’t very valuable anymore, so they planned to incorporate her with Pangu Biology Technology Company and sell them both as a package deal. Was it appropriate?
"Of course not,"
Xu Gu squinted his eyes.
Pangu Biology and Li Qifei were his, after all.
Who dared to take them away?
The ownership should be determined by Li Qifei!
And not by the Sun Family!
Besides, Xu Gu had talent but no virtue, so what was the point of arguing?
Since in this half-apocalyptic era, fists rule everything, then let’s compare fists!
...
"Sure enough, he came."
"Not surprised."
"Li Xingyue, that little woman, attached herself to Xu Gu to have him solve her problems."
"So, he certainly would come. It was just a matter of time."
On the rooftop of the Pangu Biological Hospital,
stood a group of powerful Auto Men.
Their aura, although restrained, was deep like an abyss, instilling fear in onlookers.
They were all skilled from the Zhou family,
ranked A-level, with levels 70, 80, or even higher, equipped with priceless high-grade components. Their firepower was in the tens of thousands.
The leader was a young man,
Zhou Qing.
He was also SS-level from the Zhou family, awakened four years ago, with unfathomable strength, known as Zhou Shengwen’s cousin.
He had stirred up countless storms and was once considered a future family head, though he never passed the family’s test.
Just like Zhou Shengwen.
But he survived. For the past two years, he had been biding his time, rising insolence with the mundane, with deeply hidden ambitions. Becoming ever more terrifying.
Now, emerging once again, he was sure to unleash thunderbolt-like methods to restore his reputation.
Zhou Qing, with an indifferent expression, looked ahead, a slight smirk on his lips.
"Surviving the airship, quite a life."
"But daring to come alone into my Magic City as if ignoring my Zhou family?!"
"If that’s the case, then stay here forever."
"The name you carry won’t protect you!"
He had long anticipated Xu Gu’s actions,
and had prepared accordingly.
From the layout of the Provincial City’s airship port to Pangu Biology’s setup, he even made arrangements in some Secret Realms to be fully prepared.
The people beside him immediately shouted, "Pledge to kill Xu Gu, Xu Gu must die or the innocent souls of our Zhou family can’t rest in peace!"
"Today is his doom!"
"This will be his grave!"
Nobody found anything wrong with that.
As for the possible repercussions of killing Xu Gu?
The place belonged to Pangu Biology.
The assassin of Xu Gu would also be from Pangu Biology!
...
On the other side,
Xu Gu’s arrival in Magic City disturbed the higher-ups of the city’s various associations.
Especially upon learning Xu Gu came alone.
Nearly inciting their fury.
"Ridiculous!"
"What kind of place is Magic City?! The Zhou family’s word is law here!"
"He just offended the Zhou family dearly!"
"And now the powerhouses supporting him were severely injured, not a single bodyguard left!"
"He snuck in, not informing us in advance. Does he think his disguise can fool the Zhou family’s spies?!"
The association higher-ups were incredibly anxious.
Xu Gu was an SSS-level hero of the Human Clan, critical to them.
Normally, there were mysterious powerhouses and forces safeguarding Xu Gu, so the Auto Man Association wasn’t too worried about his safety.
After all, nobody would like being under the protection of unknown forces and powerhouses, which resembled an alternative form of surveillance.
The stronger the talent, the bigger the secrets, reluctant to be known by others.
They felt that Xu Gu’s backing forces wouldn’t agree to their protection.
But now, Xu Gu charged into Magic City alone,
putting them on edge.
Caught them completely off guard.
Because no one expected that Xu Gu would be so reckless!
"My little ancestor!"
"A big name is useless!"
"You truly underestimated the influence of notable families!"
"No bodyguard, just say so! We’ll prepare for you!"
