High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery

Anshan City, under the guidance of a group of Awakeners, the relocation process was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Those carrying their luggage, with their families in tow, all had smiles on their faces, and were full of praise for Chairman Li.

In contrast, the faces of the residents standing on both sides of the road darkened with hostile glares fixed on these newcomers.

They had paid a huge price to earn a spot in the city, but these outsiders?

They were moving in for free?

How is that fair!

Not far away, someone whispered in Hua Jun's ear, "Chairman, it seems like the people in the city are not happy."

"Hmm."

Hua Jun nodded.

Though the city's residents had strong opinions, they wouldn't dare act out in public with their presence. But what might happen in private, there's no telling.

In fact, he didn't really care about the lives of these ordinary people; what did it matter if more of them died?

However, if the city's security were compromised, it would reflect poorly on his leadership, and he'd have a hard time explaining to the Chairman.

The next moment, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"Pass the word, whether they are original residents or new arrivals, anyone who causes trouble will be killed without mercy."

"Understood!"

Several Awakeners immediately responded.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The phone in Hua Jun's pocket vibrated.

Hua Jun took out the phone, and when he saw the name on the screen, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It was Yan Hao calling.

"Why is he calling me?"

Hua Jun frowned but answered the call, "Hello?"

"Chairman Hua, it's me."

Yan Hao chuckled, "I hope I'm not disturbing your work, Chairman Hua?"

"It's alright."

Hua Jun sighed in relief, his tone softened a bit, and he asked, "Brother Yan, what makes you call me suddenly?"

"I do have something important."

Yan Hao said.

"Something important?"

Hua Jun asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

"Chairman Hua, it's best to discuss this in person." Yan Hao lowered his voice, "It concerns the safety of Anshan City, and your safety as well. Please come over as soon as possible."

"The safety of Anshan City and my own safety?"

Hua Jun's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "Can't you tell me over the phone?"

Yan Hao gave a wry smile, "Chairman Hua, it's very complicated and can't be explained in a few words. It's best to talk face-to-face."

He paused, then added, "Chairman Hua, you'll understand how important it is to come in person once you hear what I have to say."

"Alright, I'll come over now."

After a brief consideration, Hua Jun agreed.

Better safe than sorry.

"You guys stay here and keep watch. I need to make a quick trip."

As soon as these words fell, before the others could react, he disappeared from sight.

"?"

Several Awakeners looked at each other in confusion.

"What happened? Where's the Chairman?"

"Probably something urgent. Since he asked us to keep watch, we'll just stay here and do that."

"Yes, maybe he got a call from Chairman Li and had to rush back."

"That's possible."

None of them thought much of it.

Meanwhile, Hua Jun had already appeared downstairs at Yan Hao's house.

"Brother Yan."

He called up to the upstairs.

"Chairman Hua."

Yan Hao walked out from the living room on the first floor, "Chairman Hua, please come in."

"Alright."

Hua Jun didn't think much of it and followed him in.

The large villa seemed to have only Yan Hao inside.

A faint scent lingered in the air, with sandalwood burning in a distant censer.

They sat down on the sofa.

"Brother Yan, you mentioned on the phone that there was an urgent matter. What is it, related to Anshan City and myself?" Hua Jun asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

"That's correct."

Yan Hao said, pouring water into the cups in front of them, "Chairman Hua, you must be tired from this morning, have some water first?"

"I'm not thirsty."

Hua Jun pushed the cup aside, urging, "Brother Yan, this is urgent. Please tell me, what's the matter?"

Yan Hao smiled.

He had anticipated that the other wouldn't drink the tea, so he hadn't tampered with it.

The strange thing was the sandalwood.

It wasn't ordinary incense; once inhaled, it could immobilize a person, rendering them unable to move and making instant teleportation items unusable.

Though inexpensive, it did take some time to take effect.

"Alright, since Chairman Hua asked, I'll tell you."

"Please do."

Hua Jun perked up, looking tense.

After all, Yan Hao was Yan Ming's brother and might know things they didn't.

"Chairman Hua, I saw that you let people from outside the city move in today, didn't you?"

Hua Jun frowned slightly, "We informed you about this yesterday, didn't we?"

Yan Hao shook his head, "Chairman Hua, do you know what consequences this could lead to?"

"What consequences?" Hua Jun asked instinctively.

"Chaos in the city, leading to the collapse of Anshan City from within."

Hua Jun stared at him blankly.

Could Yan Hao's so-called important matter be this?

"What, you don't believe me, Chairman Hua?"

Yan Hao sneered, "Think about it, Chairman Hua. Those people from outside didn't pay a thing to get in. How do you think the original residents will feel about that? Do you believe they'll just accept it? Maybe nothing will happen in the short term, but small daily frictions will build up and eventually lead to a catastrophe!

Among those people, there are many ordinary folks, but also quite a few Martial Artists. If a big conflict breaks out, it would be a fight involving tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, not something to take lightly, Chairman Hua!"

Hua Jun nodded.

He had to admit, what the other party said made sense.

Even if he ordered against trouble, minor conflicts causing bloodshed would be hard to avoid. Over time, such clashes could escalate into something major.

But so what?

In the apocalypse, the most abundant resource was ordinary people.

Even if the city's tens of thousands of civilians were wiped out, so what? In a few months, new people would fill the city again.

"Brother Yan, get to the point."

Hua Jun frowned.

If calling him here was just to talk about this, he felt there was no need to stay any longer.

"Chairman Hua, the above issue is what I meant by the major issue concerning Anshan City. Now I want to discuss the matter concerning your safety, which I hope you'll listen to carefully."

Yan Hao glanced around.

"Alright, go ahead."

Hua Jun nodded.

"Chairman Hua, don't you realize that doing these things for that man surnamed Li has put your life in danger?"

Yan Hao's tone shifted.

Sure enough, Hua Jun's face paled hearing this.

"Brother Yan, please speak clearly."

"Chairman Hua, that Li person is evidently a tyrant, willing to offend everyone in Anshan City for his own good reputation. Aside from the outsiders, who in the city doesn't detest him?"

"That's true enough."

Hua Jun showed a helpless smile.

From Awakeners like the Yan family to city Martial Artists, ordinary residents, even children, everyone likely cursed Chairman Li in their hearts.

He was despised by many.

"So, Chairman Hua, seeing as you understand this, a man hated by everyone is bound to face dire consequences. You, as his accomplice, won't escape unscathed either!"

"Brother Yan, your words seem a bit exaggerated."

Hua Jun smiled and shook his head, "Though the Chairman's actions have indeed offended most city residents, he still has supporters, doesn't he?

Besides, with his strength, even if he angered everyone, to speak bluntly, no one could do anything to him."

"Can you guarantee that while no one can touch him now, that future remains unchanged?"

Yan Hao gritted his teeth.

A sense of grand ambition arose.

Because he believed he could be the one to manage that Li's fate!

Hua Jun was stunned.

"Chairman Hua, if such a day comes, you, as his henchman, do you think you could escape unscathed?"

"Absurd, just absurd."

Hua Jun said, "Yan Hao, I thought you called me over to share something important, but it's just talking about this. Sigh."

He sighed, "I know you hold grudges against the Chairman, but he's treated you quite fairly, haven't you noticed? He's given the land he took from you to others,

Yan Hao, let's stop here. Stay here peacefully, don't cook up any schemes, and no one will trouble you, otherwise, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"Hahaha."

Yan Hao laughed, "No mercy? Hua Jun, did you show mercy yesterday when you found us? When my big brother was alive, you were like a dog before me, asking you to go east, you wouldn't dare go west. But once my brother died, you started overriding us, calling it showing mercy?"

"Yan Hao, I'll give you one more chance. Take back your words and I'll pretend none of this happened today."

Hua Jun's eyes turned colder.
