Zuo Feng remained expressionless, continuing to respond calmly, "I wonder where Chief Hei heard this news, but Chief Hei's information is incorrect..."
"Oh? Please enlighten me, Brother Zuo Feng."
Hei Zhi frowned slightly, looking at Zuo Feng with a puzzled expression, a remarkably convincing act. Zuo Feng, however, knew his intentions and deliberately paused for a moment before continuing:
"Our Peerless Apocalypse is considered the largest force in the City of Dreams in H City, but we dare not claim to be the largest force in H City. Although I don't want to admit it, I must say that the largest forces in H City are the Steel Fortress in the East District, the Glory of Light in the South District, and the Spear of Victory in the West District. These three behemoths are the largest forces in H City; however, our Peerless Apocalypse will also reach that point in the future."
After listening, Hei Zhi's brows relaxed, and he then said, "Haha, it seems I was ignorant and made Brother Zuo Feng laugh, damn it! Last time, a person claimed to be the leader of some Sanshui Gang, boasting to the heavens, but I didn't expect the information he gave me to be wrong after all that, it really is..."
Zuo Feng chuckled inwardly, thinking, he truly is a cautious person, still probing. His question seemed like a complaint, but in reality, it was also to ascertain the truth.
There are too many large and small forces in the City of Dreams; generally, outsiders would only know top forces like Peerless Apocalypse and the Three Giants. How would they easily know about a medium-to-small gang like the Sanshui Gang, which barely makes it into the top ten? Only true residents of the City of Dreams would know about a gang like the Sanshui Gang.
However, Zuo Feng couldn't help but wonder, why would this Hei Zhi specifically mention the Sanshui Gang? Did Feng Yundan, after escaping H City and recovering from his injuries, come to him? Zuo Feng didn't know if what Hei Zhi said was true or false, and he also needed to ascertain the truth.
"Chief Hei met the leader of the Sanshui Gang some time ago? Is Chief Hei sure? What was the exact time?"
Hei Zhi smiled slightly and replied, "It was about half a month ago. At that time, he claimed to be the leader of the Sanshui Gang and brought many subordinates to discuss cooperation with me. Haha, to be honest with Zuo Feng, I always like to make friends, so I had a very congenial chat with that Sanshui Gang leader, but afterwards, I always felt something was off."
Zuo Feng sneered inwardly: Half a month ago, the Sanshui Gang was already gone, Feng Yundan was a lone commander, hiding and recovering from his injuries. Hei Zhi's words were full of holes, clearly a test.
Zuo Feng shook his head, "Chief Hei, you've been deceived. More than half a month ago, the Sanshui Gang was wiped out, and Feng Yundan was severely injured, losing an arm; his whereabouts are unknown. I had some acquaintance with him and originally planned to help him, to bring him into our Peerless Apocalypse, but he ran too fast, slipping away without even saying goodbye. The person you met must have been an imposter!"
Hei Zhi's expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly said, "So that's how it is. It seems I really was kept in the dark. Don't let me see him again next time, or I will definitely not let him off!"
As they talked, a hint of joy welled up in Hei Zhi's heart; he had gotten the information he wanted.
He had only learned about the destruction of the Sanshui Gang a week ago. This person in front of him had such detailed information, he must be from the Dream City, and he was also acquainted with the leader of the Sanshui Gang, so his strength must not be weak. Feng Yundan was someone who had lit Six Lotus Seeds and possessed a Level 7 weapon! It would be very difficult to befriend him without some strength.
In this way, he would have to find a way to bring this person into his plan! Hei Zhi secretly calculated in his heart, but his face remained impassive, and he continued to smile, "Brother Zuo Feng is indeed well-informed, I am truly impressed."
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, humbly saying, "Not at all, I just happened to know some inside information."
Hei Zhi already had a good grasp of the situation and then said, "Brother Zuo Feng, there's still some time before the banquet. This time, I've invited a few friends, and I still need to entertain them. Why don't you come along, Brother Zuo Feng? It would be a good opportunity to introduce you to a few well-known friends in the circles; perhaps there will be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Zuo Feng shook his head slightly, "That's not necessary. Chief Hei, please go entertain them. I've traveled quite a bit and I'm tired; I'd like to rest this afternoon."
Hei Zhi heard this and didn't press the matter, nodding and smiling, "Very well, then Brother Zuo Feng should rest well first. I will send someone to invite you at the time of the banquet, and we brothers can have a good chat then. Oh, and if Brother Zuo Feng needs anything, just say the word. I may not have much else here, but good wine and good food are plentiful, and of course, beautiful women too. Haha, then I'll take my leave now, see you at the banquet!"
Hei Zhi bowed and turned to leave, leaving Zuo Feng in thought.
Zuo Feng watched Hei Zhi's back disappear and mused, Hei Zhi is a very cunning person. It seems that the so-called alliance of strong individuals to kill the Xenomorph must also have other purposes, but he doesn't know what his ultimate goal is.
Walking out of the private room, Hei Zhi's steps were steady, a barely perceptible cold smile on his lips; then, he put on a benevolent smile and walked outside—he was going to greet his other distinguished guests.
"Big pervert, he..." Da Yuanyuan was about to say something, but Zuo Feng raised his hand to signal her to stop, put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Walls have ears."
Da Yuanyuan immediately became alert. Yes, this was Hei Zhi's territory, who knew if there were any listening devices hidden here, and they couldn't easily check.
Da Yuanyuan nodded gently, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Come, Xiao She Jing, you've been traveling for so long, you must be tired, let's rest."
Zuo Feng then pulled Xiao She Jing into his embrace, holding the two women as they lay on the sofa bed. The three of them spent the entire afternoon lying on the sofa bed, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, with Zuo Feng closing his eyes to rest.
He guessed correctly; at this moment, in a secret room, two people were wearing headphones, monitoring every move inside the private room........
The afternoon passed silently, and as night fell, the Black Lotus Base was brightly lit, and the banquet had already begun.
Zuo Feng led the two women and Ying'er out of the private room and walked down the corridor towards the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, music and dancing filled the air. Although there were many people, they were all scantily clad dancers and waitresses, and the air was filled with an extravagant atmosphere.
Zuo Feng scanned the room; only a few dozen guests had been invited, each with women on both arms, looking arrogant.
Hei Zhi stood in the center, a beaming smile on his face. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Zuo Feng.
He raised his glass and announced loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Today, I am honored to invite a strong individual from Peerless Apocalypse in H City! Let us all raise our glasses and welcome his arrival!"
Upon hearing this, a dozen or so people raised their heads from the bosoms of the women in their arms, their eyes perfunctorily glancing at Zuo Feng, then symbolically clinking their glasses before immersing themselves back into their own worlds.
Zuo Feng smiled indifferently, raised his glass, and symbolically touched the rim, but inwardly he sneered: These so-called strong individuals, judging by their appearance, are probably all useless individuals whose bodies have been hollowed out by wine and women. Where did he find these 'strong individuals'?
