Chapter 355: No Banquet Lasts Forever (Please Subscribe)
Chen Guodong spoke with a harmless smile on his face.
Usually, he wouldn't dare to agree so easily. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. One wrong move and it could lead the entire stronghold to disaster.
But with Chen Fan having given a heads-up beforehand, could he distrust his own son?
At the moment, the Chen Family Stronghold seems decent, with food and drink, and safety assured. But if a Beast Tide breaks out or a few High-level Fierce Beasts are drawn here, destruction could occur in an instant.
Zhang Ren and others also chimed in supportively.
This commotion directly left the people in the stronghold stunned.
Ren Hai exchanged glances with the two by his side, then nodded slightly, showing a look of approval, "You're quite decisive and courageous, it's no wonder you developed the stronghold to this extent. Not bad, not bad. But I have to ask you again, have you really made up your mind? No need to reconsider?"
"No need."
Chen Guodong laughed, "Respected Awakeners, if you wanted to harm us, why would you need to use such roundabout methods?"
"Exactly."
Ren Hai was quite satisfied.
After all, he was a C-level Awakener. Killing an Elite-level Fierce Beast might take some effort, but wiping out a whole stronghold would be easy.
"Alright, tomorrow morning, I'll come to escort you to Anshan City. Once you arrive, trust me, you won't regret this decision."
"That's right."
The Awakener on the left swept his gaze over the crowd and snorted, "If it weren't for our chairman's immense compassion, you people would be left to fend for yourselves here. Now, this rare opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, it's gone forever."
When he finished speaking, most of the people's faces still showed skepticism.
"Hmph, why waste so many words on them? It's their own fate. If they don't want to come with us, we can't knock them out and carry them over." The Awakener on the right frowned, speaking with dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for Chairman Li's instructions, we wouldn't bother caring about their lives.
"Tomorrow morning, good, then we'll trouble you respected Awakeners." Chen Guodong hurriedly said.
"No trouble at all, it's just a simple task, besides, it's your own fortunate destiny."
Ren Hai waved his hand, "That's settled then."
After speaking, he leapt and appeared directly on the vehicle.
Simultaneously, the other two also vanished from sight.
Under the complex gazes of everyone, an off-road vehicle swiftly headed into the distance.
The atmosphere in the stronghold first quieted down for a moment, then someone dared to ask, "Brother Chen, should we really listen to them and leave the stronghold to move to Anshan City?"
With someone leading, voices emerged one after another.
"Yes, Brother Chen, is it really such a good offer? Will they allow us to live in Anshan City for free?"
"Impossible. I went to Anshan City before, let alone us ordinary people, even Martial Artists aren't qualified to live there."
"Right, could they have some bad intentions, trying to plot against us?"
"That can't be, Brother Chen also said. With their strength, wanting to kill us is simple. Why would they bother deceiving us?"
"That's uncertain. What if they are from an Evil Cult and they want to capture us alive instead of killing us?"
"This..."
The atmosphere quieted down again, but this time, most people felt even more fearful.
"Everyone should be here, right?"
Chen Guodong looked around.
"Everyone's here."
Liu Yong glanced around, the crowd surrounded them tightly.
"Initially, I planned to gather everyone later to discuss this matter. Since everyone is here now, let's talk it through."
Chen Guodong cleared his throat, "I know what just happened feels unreliable to everyone. After all, where can you find such good fortune in the world?"
"True."
The crowd echoed.
If there truly was such good fortune, they wouldn't have ended up here in the first place.
"But I think there's a significant chance it's true."
Suddenly, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone was wide-eyed, looking at Chen Guodong.
"You also saw their strength; even High-level Fierce Beasts can't harm them in the slightest. Such people, wanting to harm us, could easily do so, right?"
"But, Brother Chen," a man couldn't help but say, "someone just mentioned, what if they want to capture us alive to do hard labor, make us serve them? Wouldn't that explain why they haven't attacked us right away?"
"That's right. We're living well here. Once we arrive there, it's their territory, they can make us do anything." Others also showed worry.
"It seems you still don't understand the power of Awakeners."
Zhang Ren sighed, "If they want to capture us to serve them, they have a hundred ways, even using forceful threats would work. Why use such troublesome methods?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere quieted down instantly.
Because the one who spoke was Zhang Ren, the second most powerful person in the stronghold.
Moreover, what he said made a lot of sense.
