Uncle Mu glared, almost brandishing his sickle. "You brat!"
"Your father almost died, and this is what you're focusing on?"
Mu Hen awkward laugh and said, "How could you die? I'm waiting for you to live to be a hundred so I can save money for my wedding!"
Su Zhe remained silent.
Uncle Mu's aura was terrifying, many times more terrifying than Mu Hen's aura when he first entered the Calamity Realm.
Su Xian, meanwhile, was thoughtfully observing the middle-aged man before her. He was said to be Mu Hen's father, but upon closer inspection, they looked more like brothers.
However, their auras are indeed the same.
And what exactly is this so-called War of Kings they're talking about?
Why Mu Hen so agitated?
After the two finished catching up...
Uncle Mu looked at Su Xian this time and smiled kindly, "You must be the second young master of the Su Family?"
"I had heard rumors about it before, but seeing it for myself today, I can confirm that its depth and complexity are truly extraordinary."
Su Xian replied, "You are my elder, so please don't flatter me. I can't accept it."
Uncle Mu chuckled, finding it amusing.
Su Xian and Li Chen seem to have similar personalities, but Li Chen is a bit less warm and aloof, making him difficult to approach.
These two little guys, on the other hand, have pretty good personalities.
Su Zhe glanced at the two men's mutual boasting and pouted, "Uncle, why don't you praise me?"
"I'm very strong too!"
Uncle Mu nodded, looking at Su Zhe with an affirmative gaze, and said, "You are indeed very strong. I value your financial ability. As long as you have enough money, just name it, and I'll do the bidding for you."
Su Zhe quickly waved his hand and gave an awkward smile.
Mu Hen smiled and said, "Father, stop joking. You should know why we're here today."
"Moreover, the inland areas are currently being invaded by Eerie Monsters, so we all sneaked out. You should know that your son is now a big shot guarding a third-tier city."
Time waits for no one!
Uncle Mu looked at the three expectant eyes and said helplessly, "He's in the City of Sin, but he might not be the same person you imagine now."
At this moment, Su Zhe stepped forward and said, "Of course we know, after all, a year has passed."
"He must have suffered a lot here. Now we've come to take him home. Even if he's changed, he'll definitely recognize us."
They were unaware of Li Chen's whereabouts.
So they didn't know that Li Chen had been asleep for a year, and thought that what Uncle Mu meant was that Li Chen had a very bad time in the City of Sin and that his personality had changed drastically.
A glint of light flashed in Uncle Mu's eyes as he said, "I have that kid's phone number now, but the War of Kings is ongoing, and he's also embroiled in the power struggle. You can try to contact him."
"As for taking them away, that's up to you. I can't help you with that."
Su Xian frowned and said, "Uncle Mu, what's the story behind this War of Kings? This is our first time here."
"Having no knowledge, acting rashly will only lead to confusion and a lack of direction. Please point me in the right direction."
Uncle Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Not bad, much smarter than that kid Mu Hen."
"Sinful City, though a prison, is home to the Seven Sins."
"Each sin holds power, and now the Seven Sins are vying for control, killing and devouring the other forces."
"One victory not only brings the power and territory of another, but also greater power; this is the War of Kings."
"Is it a dog-eat-dog world?" Su Xian guessed. In that case, the competition in this City of Sin in the inland areas.
At least in inland areas, there are laws governing those in Sequence User.
This place is more like a cage imprisoning countless ferocious beasts, each beast occupying its own territory and not interfering with each other.
But everything Uncle Mu is saying now indicates that all the beasts in the City of Sin are rioting because territory is being fought over.
Su Zhe was puzzled and asked, "Then why does Chen-ge want to fight for power?"
"I remember Chen-ge, he didn't aspire to power before!"
Back when they were in Canglan, Li Chen never longed for these things. Could things have really changed so much in just one year?
Su Xian pondered for a few seconds and said, "Everyone has their own choices, and everyone changes."
"Li Chen may have changed himself in this environment, or he may have had other purposes."
"After all, we've all changed in just one year."
"Given his circumstances, and having experienced death, it's difficult for him to remain unchanged."
Su Zhe fell silent...
A year ago, they managed to save Li Chen from his coma.
But one of the strongest individuals captured him directly; they didn't even see the man's face.
Li Chen then vanished from the spot.
It was at that moment that they realized absolute power could crush all their efforts.
That's why Jianping went to Dawn Pass to train.
At the very least, he didn't want to be forced to watch helplessly as his friends were brutally murdered when facing a powerful enemy.
Uncle Mu watched the three of them fall into deep thought, he couldn't help but think back to his younger days, to the trusted confidants who had been by his side—but all of that was in the past.
This is the era of these brats.
After all, he didn't have such talent before, reaching the Withered Sea Realm and Calamity Realm in just two years.
These were the pride of their time.
Although not all results were obtained in that Academy Tournament, almost everyone understood the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.
For a long time to come, the survival of Human Race may depend on a group of people.
On the other side.
The bodies on the streets have almost all been cleared away.
Wearing First Seat black overcoat and holding a black umbrella, Li Chen, with his slender figure, stood in front of the casino entrance, seemingly silent for two seconds before slowly walking inside.
Something seemed to be wriggling in his shadow, illuminated by the lamplight.
Today is different from the past.
The once bustling atmosphere inside was gone; the gambling table was still covered in blood, and corpses littered the ground.
The chips rolled to the ground.
Li Chen's indifferent gaze and calm demeanor suggested he paid no attention to anything as he walked towards the familiar elevator.
He casually used the access card of a security guard who had died at the entrance to open the elevator and went inside.
He was in the same position as always, but this time he didn't need Uncle Mu's company.
As I stepped out of the elevator, the camera spun around a few times.
It was instantly crushed by Li Chen's ability.
In an underground mine.
The workers were completely unaware of what was happening outside and continued digging meaninglessly. Even without security guards, they dared not escape.
They had long been ravaged by the daily grind.
Da-da-da-
Li Chen walked on the glass, paying no attention to the people there.
A familiar voice came from inside.
Li Chen pushed open the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was Gluttony sitting at his desk with a glass of red wine.
And on his face was a scar resembling a sharp claw, from which blood was dripping, drop by drop, into the red wine.
Gluttony smiled slightly.
"You've come."
