Chapter 81 I'm strong enough to kill the construction workers (13)
"Xiao Tong? What's wrong with you?"

The aunt noticed something was wrong and asked a question. Li Xiaotong suddenly woke up, sweating profusely, and shook his head with difficulty:
"Mom, I'm fine"

She glanced again at the young man in the cloak below her and found it difficult to breathe.

In her eyes, the figure was surrounded by the brilliant light of an extremely powerful being, accompanied by a pure white mist, and was surrounded by darkness. She could see ten different worlds floating in the darkness.
There are many strange visions,

fear,
mystery,

powerful.

He is completely two different people compared to a few days ago!
Li Xiaotong swallowed.

The old lady also approached, stretched her head to look, and said in surprise:

"Is it really Xiao Chen? Let's go, I'll pick him up myself."

She brought Li Xiaotong to the first floor and strode out.

"Xiao Chen, I thought something happened to you. The change in the Eight Rings this time is really shocking."

Chen Xiang smiled gently:

"Aunt Li, I'm fine. I'm lucky."

"Okay, come in and tell me, come in!"

The auntie smiled and pulled Chen Xiang into the hotel, all the way to the familiar top floor.

"I've reserved your room, the same one as before, and I've never let anyone else live here. From now on, you should treat this place as your home. I'll always reserve a room for you!"

Chen Xiang smiled politely, sat on the sofa in the reception area, and chatted with the aunt, mainly to inquire about the situation of the refugees in the Eighth Ring.

"Auntie knows you have a kind heart, but Jiuhuan, you know that nine out of ten people are criminals. But since you have brought it up today, I will make the decision!"

The aunt said proudly:
"Refugees in zones one to four are temporarily issued 'protection certificates' and will not be 'committed to crime' for three months. As for longer periods or more, I can't do anything about it. The Nine Rings are governed by three people, and I can't break the rules too much."

"very good already."

Chen Xiang smiled:
"I thank you on behalf of the refugees from the Eighth Ring."

"Since you call me aunt, we are family. There is no such thing as thank you or not between family members. This is too formal!"

Li Xiaotong looked at the two people chatting and laughing, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She wanted to remind her mother that the person sitting here was not a good young man, but
A completely terrifying monster shrouded in pure white.

But in the end she couldn't say anything.

Time passed bit by bit, and Chen Xiang had his tea refilled cup after cup. As night was about to fall, the roar of many car engines could be heard outside the hotel.

The smile on the aunt's face gradually faded:

"The guests are all here, Xiao Chen. I'll introduce them to you later, including the other two leaders of our Nine Rings."

"That's what I wanted." Chen Xiang nodded in agreement.

Led by a servant,
Chen Xiang came to a large dining room on the 99th floor. The room was decorated in a relatively retro style, with half-human-sized sheep skulls hanging on the walls.
In the middle is a copper table about two meters wide and thirty meters long. There are about a hundred high-backed wooden chairs on both sides of the table. In the dim candlelight, it shows a deep meaning.

At this time, there was no one else in the dining room.

"Mr. Chen, please wait here for a moment. Guests will arrive one after another."

The attendant pulled out a high-backed wooden chair for Chen Xiang, bent down slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Thank you."

Chen Xiang sat down slowly, and next to him was Li Xiaotong, who was asked by the aunt to accompany him.

He was bored, looked sideways and asked with a smile:

"Xiaotong, is it different when you see me now?"

Li Xiaotong trembled.

Chen Xiang understood and stopped teasing her. He asked:
"The main body of the academy has moved to the Sixth Ring Road. I checked there and the two fat guys from the Yuan family are not there. Are they in the Ninth Ring Road?"

"Yes, yes." Li Xiaotong replied hurriedly:

"The whole family fled to Jiuhuan and are now settled very well. Xiaoyan, Dapang, Abu, and Yuan Wanli will also be here later."

After a pause, she whispered:

"This banquet was hosted by the new owner of the Seven Ring Construction Group. The invitations were sent to my mother and the other two top bosses. I heard that they had bad intentions."

"I know."

Chen Xiang nodded affirmatively:
"It is indeed a bad omen."

Li Xiaotong timidly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the terrifying figure so close. Even though she was in a very high spiritual state at the moment, she was still a little dazed.
The ten illusory worlds overlapped, shadows, abysses, whispers full of taboos
Li Xiaotong hesitated for a while and whispered:

"You, you have become even more powerful. If that unknown person really comes with malicious intent, can you help my mother?"

Chen Xiang thought for a moment and smiled:
"Auntie and I have some friendship, I will give her a chance."

"Opportunity?" Li Xiaotong was confused and didn't understand what this meant.

The candlelight in the banquet hall and dining room flickered slightly. There were some chaotic footsteps and conversations outside the door. After about a few breaths, the quaint old-fashioned door that seemed to have been moved from some ancient ruins creaked and slowly opened.

The first person to walk in was an old lady, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane, and an elderly cripple who used an umbrella as a crutch. Behind them followed a group of people, each of whom had a very strong evil aura.

"Everyone, please take a seat first." The aunt smiled and asked the waiter to lead everyone to their seats. About half of the hundreds of seats were occupied.

Almost all those who are here at the moment are well-known figures of the Nine Rings, except for a chubby little fat man.

"Teacher Chen! You are here too!"

Yuan Wanli came panting and rolled over like a big ball, and sat down on the seat next to Chen Xiang, his face full of surprise:
"You also came to Jiuhuan to escape? No, that's not right, you can't be escaping."

Chen Xiang smiled gently:

"Where's Qianli? Didn't he come with you?"

"My brother stayed at home to take care of my parents. When the Eight Rings changed, my parents were injured, but fortunately, they were not serious."

Chen Xiang lowered his eyelids:
"Are there many people injured this time among the Eight Rings?"

"Many, many, many more died."

Yuan Wanli sighed:
"The flood was not severe at first, and very few people died in the disaster. Most died in the chaos after the disaster. The repressed evil of many people was released, and it was very tragic."

Chen Xiang remained silent, knowing that what Yuan Dapang said was true. When disaster strikes, the most terrifying thing is not the disaster, but human nature.

In that situation, people are free from any constraints, and no one can predict what they will do or what they can do, but most of it is pure evil!

Yuan Wanli whispered again at this time:
"But it's much better now that the Nine Rings are here. Although the Nine Rings are chaotic, at least there is some order, albeit, it is a distorted order."

Chen Xiang sighed softly and felt someone was staring at him. He looked sideways and saw the elegant middle-aged man with a top hat and a cane. That was probably the knight. An old acquaintance next to him was trembling slightly and seemed to be breathing rapidly.

Owl Tiger.

At the same time, the aunt clapped her hands, and the noisy banquet hall gradually quieted down. As the host of this place, she was the first to speak:
"Everyone here is an old acquaintance, so I don't need to introduce you in detail. However, there is one person."

She stood up with a smile on her face, walked to Chen Xiang, and placed her broad palm on his shoulder:
"This is Chen Xiang, a close friend of our Zenith Hotel, and the 'Terrible Giant' who hammered to death the crazy woman at the Valley Road Bar."

There were whispers in the banquet hall, and many people looked at Chen Xiang with fear. They had all heard about the deeds of this "terrible giant"
Someone turned his gaze to Xiaohu, who trembled his lips and lowered his head slightly.

'Tuk tuk tuk'

The middle-aged man in a top hat tapped the slightly musty wooden floor with his cane, making a dull sound. Then he spoke with a half-smile:
"I've heard a lot about you"

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment.

moment,

The aunt's hearty laughter broke the silence and she patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder:

"Xiao Chen, let me introduce you to this famous Sir. Um, do you know the origin of the name Sir?"

"Appreciate further details."

Chen Xiang spoke slowly, and the aunt introduced with a smile:
"He was a baron of the White Star Country. Later, he committed some crime and was expelled from the White Star Country. He came to our Great City. It is said that he has a connection with you. He also worked as an assistant teacher at the Colossus Academy."

The lame old man not far away smacked his lips:
"Hmm, there is such a thing? I seem to have some impression of it, but it must have been a long, long time ago, right?"

After a pause, he said cheerfully:

"Auntie, don't pick on me. Weren't you just a fishmonger?"

The aunt snorted twice, her voice became a little colder, and then introduced Chen Xiang:

"The one I'm talking about is the famous and powerful 'Old Cripple' in our Nine Rings. When I was still a nobody, he was the one who held an umbrella for me and drove me. Later, he made a great career on his own!"

The old cripple raised the umbrella he was using as a crutch and said:

"Yes, it is this umbrella. I am nostalgic, so I have kept it forever."

As he spoke, he patted his lame leg again, with a smile on his face:

"I almost forgot, this leg of mine was also given by you, Auntie."

The air was filled with gunpowder, and as soon as the three met head-on, they were about to start fighting.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a blind, fat black man came out to smooth things over:

"Alright everyone, now is not the time for internal strife. The new owner of the Seventh Ring is about to arrive. His intentions are unclear, so it is better for us to unite and face the outside world."

The aunt's expression eased a little, and finally introduced:

"That fat black guy is just the fat black guy. He doesn't belong to any faction. He's a very good broker and information dealer. He's good at getting along with everyone and is quite capable of handling things."

Chen Xiang smiled and nodded, watching everything with interest.

The aunt returned to her seat, and one of the knight's men patted the table:

"What the fat black guy said is right. But now that we are here, where are the people from the Seventh Ring Construction? They are so shameless. Do they really think they are important?"

The old cripple also sneered at this time:
"What's Seven Rings Construction? I'm enough to kill them all by myself. If the new owner of the construction company is sensible, just cooperate. If he really has bad intentions, I'll beat him to death!"
