Exploring the Ruins

Third District was divided into several districts after the Supreme Council took control of Winter. Third District had the largest population, many of whom had migrated from other Shelter.

Buildings are springing up everywhere, some already erected, others still under construction.

The Third District, located in the eastern part of the Rich District, contains a separate estate.

This estate was not only expensive to build, but also had extremely high-end security facilities.

Strictly speaking, this area cannot be called Rich District, because most of the residents here are not tycoons, but rather some powerful and influential Winter.

Inside a detached villa, the floor is covered with expensive carpets, and the place is furnished with genuine leather sofas and various luxurious decorations.

This renovation alone could buy another detached villa in Rich District.

It is also equipped with many training rooms for training in combat and firearms.

At this moment, a mature woman dressed in combat attire was practicing martial arts in a training room.

Her punches and kicks were extremely fierce, each one accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom.

In other words, the soundproofing of this room is good, otherwise the sound will travel out and sound like thunder in summer.

Such a mature figure can easily attract the hearts of some Blood Qi young men.

Even in training clothes, her chest was still heavy, swaying back and forth as she practiced, which was quite alluring.

After she finished her practice, she left the training room wearing a towel draped over her shoulders.

As I walked out, I ran into a woman with a curvaceous figure, wearing an office lady suit and black-rimmed glasses. She looked very alluring.

This woman gave off a very cold and aloof vibe, and seemed to be the kind of person who was used to giving orders.

The beautiful woman in combat gear nodded at her.

The alluring woman in the OL Suit said, "Sister Yan Zhi, just finished practicing?"

This mature and beautiful woman is Yan Zhi.

Her skin was slightly tanned, but it looked healthier, and her fighting outfit perfectly outlined her curves, making her very alluring.

The rhythmic movement of the waist and hips while walking is even more exhilarating.

Yan Zhi nodded. "How's the situation outside?"

The alluring woman in this outfit was none other than Moli.

When Chen Wang first met her, he thought she was a bar hostess who later went into the arms business and then left Winter.

Chen Wang had inquired about her whereabouts but had no idea where she was, and later he didn't pay much attention to it.

In short, Yan Zhi, who had been being hunted outside, was hiding in Moli's manor.

Moli shook her head upon hearing this. "Nothing has changed. The Supreme Council is basically under control."

Yan Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and when she raised her hand, her chest trembled, even larger than Moli's.

However, because of her years of exercise, she appears very upright.

"Still no trace of Chen Wang?"

Yan Zhi's voice was somewhat bitter.

Moli shook her head. "No."

Then, the two fell silent.

Moli's Lineage was one of the founders of the original Qiongqi Mining.

However, her father died early, and she didn't get along with her mother from a young age. She was somewhat rebellious and liked to do things she enjoyed.

He later returned and took over the family business.

Later, a major upheaval Winter, and the Council came to control the Winter Church.

Moli's true identity was already well-hidden; she was a slightly eccentric woman, and naturally, no information about her could be found using her real name.

However, now that Chen Wang has disappeared and the Church's original power has been eliminated, a major upheaval has occurred in the dead of Winter.

Everyone could sense that the entire Winter had changed again! Yan Zhi hesitated and said, "Do you think... he might have already been killed?"

Moli thought for a moment and said, "No, if that were the case, it would have been publicized extensively by now."

Yan Zhi nodded.

She could actually think of this, but she still needed to hear it from Moli to comfort herself.

Where did he go?

Yan Zhi sighed.

Soon, a car entered from outside the manor.

Moli hurried away, and a handsome young man with slightly curly hair got out of the car. He immediately said, "Sister, something terrible has happened!"

Moli frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Didn't we tell you not to come here?"

This young man is her younger brother; he was the one who went to the Shelter to find Moli.

The young man exclaimed excitedly, "Grandpa is dead!"

His excited expression would surely surprise anyone else.

His grandfather died!

But a light also appeared in Moli's eyes, "What happened?"

There are clearly many sordid things happening within this large Lineage.

The relationship between the siblings and their immediate family members was extremely strained.

The young man with slightly curly hair laughed and said, "The Speaker is back. He easily slaughtered those three bishops, and even my grandfather, as a defector member of the council, was killed!"

The young man spoke with great excitement.

I don't know why someone who's 36 degrees Celsius would say such cold things.

He felt a sense of satisfaction at his grandfather's murder.

Moli's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed her brother's arm, making the young man grimace.

Are you serious?

The young man was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

He spoke only after Moli released his grip, "Of course it's true. We've already received the notification, and many people have already been arrested!"

Moli's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around to go back.

The young man suddenly became a little shy and called out to his sister, "Sister Yan Zhi... are you alright?"

Yan Zhi had a stunning figure and was a captivating beauty; hearing his words, it was clear that he was extremely attracted to her.

Moli turned around and gave him a deep look. "Stop having these unnecessary thoughts. There are plenty of women out there. Don't hang yourself on this one."

The young man looked hurt. "I was just showing concern. Who dares to steal the Speaker's woman? Can't I even show concern?"

Moli rolled her eyes at him. "No way!"

His expression seemed even more hurt, and he clutched his chest before turning and leaving.

Moli shook her head.

Yan Zhi was originally the head of the action department, a high-ranking and powerful figure, on par with her grandfather, and she also had that kind of relationship with Chen Wang.

Jasmine thought, "If I let my silly little brother get caught up in this, it will be even more terrifying!" Moli quickly told Yan Zhi about it.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhi's eyes lit up, and she jumped up, making Moli feel a little dizzy and nauseous.

"Are you serious!"

Yan Zhi asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true! They've already launched a counterattack, and many officials and military commanders have been arrested!"

Yan Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, great, that's wonderful!"

A sixth-tier warrior is terrifying in itself.

But suddenly three of them appeared and took control of the Supreme Council with overwhelming force, leaving no place for anyone to hide.

Fortunately, Chen Wang is back now, and a huge weight has finally been lifted from Yan Zhi's heart.

Chen Wang did not expend too much effort in quelling the rebellion of the Winter.

These high-ranking officials didn't need Chen Wang to say anything; the rest was a matter of course, with a large-scale arrest of the rebels.

They don't want anyone to take away the rights they've gained.

Chen Wang always acted like a hands-off manager, which made him a more likable leader.

Coupled with Chen Wang's iron-fisted approach, no one dared to harbor any disloyal thoughts and they all sprang into action.

The entire massive organization began to function.

Moli reported the news through some clandestine channels.

Chen Wang met Yan Zhi at her villa estate.

This stunningly beautiful woman was dressed casually, yet her graceful figure was still undeniable.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Chen Wang said.

Yan Zhi felt a warmth in her heart.

All the hardships along the way seem insignificant compared to this one sentence.

In Chen Wang's mind, she was nothing more than a female subordinate, a beautiful woman with a great figure.

But Yan Zhi's feelings were clearly different.

The two sat down naturally.

Chen Wang, unaware of Yan Zhi's inner turmoil, asked, "Where's Xiao Lang?"

Yan Zhi sighed, "He might not wake up; he'll become a vegetable."

Chen Wang's eyes turned cold.

Xiao Lang was his intelligence agent, and he was later promoted to Intelligence Division, a position of great power and influence. Now, he has become a vegetable!

"Take me to see him," Chen Wang said.

Yan Zhi took Chen Wang out to see Xiao Lang, and they bumped into a woman wearing high heels and a polka-dot dress, walking towards them with a clattering sound.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

Moli just looked at him quietly and said softly, "Don't you recognize me?"

Chen Wang possessed the ability to remember everything he saw; how could he possibly forget?

What are you doing here?

Yan Zhi said, "I am very grateful to Moli for taking me in during this time and for helping me evade capture."

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Both women were somewhat surprised by these words.

Yan Zhi was somewhat flattered.

Chen Wang was a decisive and ruthless man, and in her eyes he was an all-powerful and imposing figure with an iron fist.

Now he's actually thanking people for his own sake.

Moli looked at her strangely and said with a smile, "Hearing you say that... feels quite novel."

Her eyes held a hint of amusement.

A ruthless man who has some humanity is always more pleasing to the eye.

A man who doesn't care about anything is the one who's scary.

Chen Wang ignored the two women's thoughts and went with them to Xiao Lang's room.

Xiao Lang's face had become extremely thin, and he looked emaciated, with many tubes inserted into his body.

Various instruments were continuously administering intravenous fluids to him, which saved his life.

"At that time, you were missing. They launched a coup, and Xiao Lang escaped with me, but he was severely injured. If it weren't for Moli, Xiao Lang would not have survived," Yan Zhi explained.

Chen Wang took a deep breath, feeling somewhat moved.

Xiao Lang was once a spirited young man, but now he's become this half-dead, half-alive state.

Thank you.

Chen Wang thanked Moli for the second time.

Moli shrugged and accepted it calmly.

Yan Zhi sighed, "Actually, there's no difference between him living like this and being dead, except it's still better than dying."

Her tone was somewhat regretful.

Chen Wang nodded. "It's alright, I won't die."

Both women thought he was just making a casual remark.

But the next moment, Chen Wang took out a pill, opened Xiao Lang's mouth, and put it in.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a pure power flowed into the limbs and meridians.

Xiao Lang's body immediately regained its vitality.

Beep beep beep, all sorts of instruments lit up frantically.

Xiao Lang, who had been emaciated, now had a visibly rosy complexion, and his withered body had regained its vitality.

Yan Zhi and Moli were dumbfounded, somewhat incredulous.

They also used expensive Essence of Life on Xiao Lang, but it had no effect at all; it could only barely keep him alive.

At this moment, Xiao Lang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze initially somewhat blank. But after recognizing the people beside him, he quickly struggled to sit up.

"Brother Chen!"

A person who had been emaciated and in a vegetative state is now sitting up, lively and energetic.

Moreover, he also possesses a powerful inner strength that supports his actions.

Yan Zhi and Moli were both amazed! After Xiao Lang woke up, he looked down and saw that all his injuries had been healed. He couldn't help but marvel at Chen Wang's miraculous methods.

Moreover, his physical condition seems to be better than before he suffered this serious injury.

Taking Gene Serum can lead to organ failure, but his body was actually cured to some extent.

Chen Wang left Xiao Lang and the other person here for the time being.

The situation in the Winter is now largely under control, but it remains somewhat uncertain.

Chen Wang did not allow them to surface so quickly.

Xiao Lang recovered his health and was lively and energetic, drinking heavily, eating large chunks of meat, and smoking profusely in the manor.

Moli also arranged for him to meet several beautiful women, and he lived a very carefree life.

With her power and status, it would be very easy for her to do this.

Chen Wang arrived at Yan Zhi's manor.

Now only the two of them remained, with an expensive bottle of champagne on the table.

Yan Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go earlier? I thought you'd been murdered!"

Chen Wang thought for a moment and said, "We went to explore some ancient ruins."

Yan Zhi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"That's right, the thing that saved Xiao Lang was obtained from the ruins," Chen Wang said.

"I never expected that after dragging on for so long, such a big change would occur."

Yan Zhi said, "These people seem to have appeared out of thin air. They have actually broken through to the sixth level, Old Director has also been killed. They quickly took control of the Supreme Council and, with the cooperation of some people, went with the flow."

Chen Wang nodded. "I have found some clues about this matter. A messenger who called himself the God of Order found them and directly upgraded them from second-tier warriors to sixth-tier warriors."

Yan Zhi was somewhat surprised.

"Directly upgraded to the sixth rank?!"

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right. There was no sixth rank in the Winter originally. Old Jiang might have been, but he himself wouldn't admit it. Yet those three people actually rushed to the sixth rank in one step."

Yan Zhi was somewhat incredulous; this was a shock to her worldview.

Each advancement in rank has an extremely high mortality rate, so how could it be possible to go directly from rank two to rank six? "This matter is a bit strange. I still need to continue exploring those ruins, and there are some things you'll need to keep an eye on for me," Chen Wang said.

Yan Zhi nodded.

She liked the feeling of being needed; Chen Wang's entrustment gave her a sense of being valued.

"Don't worry, I will investigate these matters thoroughly."

Chen Wang nodded. "Strength is the only true measure of success."

Yan Zhi wholeheartedly agreed.

Chen Wang took out several pills.

"Take one pill and adjust your body."

Yan Zhi was somewhat excited, "Is this the same magical pill that Xiao Lang took before?"

However, she then showed a surprised expression.

"I wasn't injured, so I don't need it. You can keep it for self-defense."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "No need. I still have a lot to offer. After exploring for so long, I've naturally gained some insights."

Seeing that Yan Zhi was still hesitant, Chen Wang commanded, "Open your mouth and take it in!"

He then picked up a pill.

Yan Zhi blushed and obediently opened her mouth.

However, she not only held the pill in her mouth, but also Chen Wang's finger...
