Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1083 Hongmen Banquet

"Everyone is probably well aware of the dangers of the Purple Mountain Secret Realm."

Upon hearing Cheng Kun's words, many people nodded in deep agreement.

The most terrifying thing about the Purple Mountain Secret Realm is not monsters like the White Ghost.

Rather, it can subtly alter human cognition and memory, thereby erasing people's existence.

"Fortunately, we had Boss Su this time. If it weren't for his quick wit and ability to see through the existence of the secret realm..."

"I'm afraid the brothers who entered the secret realm are all in grave danger!"

"Here, I propose that we all raise a toast to Boss Su."

Cheng Kun picked up his wine glass as he spoke.

The people in the audience also raised their glasses.

"You're too kind, everyone. I just did what I should have done."

Su Chen also picked up his wine glass and, like everyone else, drank it all in one gulp.

After downing a glass of wine, Cheng Kun changed his tone and said with a smile,

"Now that the secret realm has been fully explored, it's time to reward those who have contributed."

coming.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm, quietly watching Cheng Kun's performance.

"As agreed beforehand, all the rewards obtained from the secret realm must be shared equally among everyone."

"right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But they were also a little puzzled.

You should know that this trip to the secret realm didn't yield any benefits!

"Boss Su, you cracked the secret realm, what are the benefits?"

Cheng Kun asked with a forced smile.

Su Chen did not answer immediately, but slowly poured himself a glass of wine.

After finishing his drink, he said calmly,

"Minister Cheng, if I remember correctly, I have already told Wu Zheng that there was no result."

"Boss Su, you must be joking."

Cheng Kun sneered.

"Exploring hidden realms is never without reward."

Liu Hailong, standing to the side, also spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, we were all unconscious at the time, only you and Zhanwei were still conscious."

"You might have taken all those treasures for yourselves."

Although the others present did not speak, the way they looked at Su Chen also changed.

Although they were able to escape, it was all thanks to Su Chen.

But when it comes to their interests, they don't care about anything else.

I have to say, that bastard Liu Hailong's guess was pretty accurate.

Su Chen gave Liu Hailong a cold glance.

His gaze was like lightning, and Liu Hailong was instantly terrified, unable to meet his eyes.

"These are all just your guesses, but what evidence do you have?"

"There is naturally no evidence."

Cheng Kun paused, then looked at Peng Yu.

"You're Peng Yu, the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang, right? You tell me, is there any benefit to be gained?"

"no!"

Peng Yu answered decisively.

Cheng Kun was not discouraged, and looked at Zhan Wei and Zhong Yage again.

"Manager Zhan, Miss Zhong, why don't you two speak?"

Before the two could speak, Cheng Kun reminded them again.

"You two are from Suzaku, so be mindful of your position."

"Minister Cheng doesn't need to remind me of that."

Zhan Wei said expressionlessly,

"I didn't see any benefits from this trip to the secret realm."

"I didn't see it either!"

Zhong Yage nodded in agreement.

While the three answered, Cheng Kun and the others kept their eyes fixed on them.

However, nothing seemed amiss in their expressions.

No wonder.

The reason why Qinglong gave Su Chen benefits was because it happened within Su Chen's consciousness space.

Zhan Wei and the other two hadn't seen it at all, so they weren't lying.

The atmosphere at the banquet instantly turned cold.

"Has Minister Cheng finished asking his questions?"

Su Chen put down his wine glass, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on Cheng Kun.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back. I've had a bit too much to drink."

"Boss Su, I hope you're telling the truth, otherwise, the rules of the Vermilion Bird are very strict."

Cheng Kun's words were full of threat.

"Minister Cheng need not worry about this!"

Su Chen stopped talking and stood up to walk outside.

"Excuse me, Minister Cheng, I'm also a bit tipsy."

Zhan Wei also stood up and followed Su Chen away.

"Excuse me……"

Peng Yu and Zhong Yage also stood up and left.

After they left, Cheng Kun's face turned ashen.

With a slight increase in pressure, he crushed the cup to pieces!

At tonight's banquet, Cheng Kun originally intended to publicly challenge Su Chen and then find Su Chen's weakness.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen handled the situation with such ease!

As Su Chen and the others got up and left, the banquet came to an abrupt end.

"Damn it, Su Chen is such a show-off!"

As soon as he returned to the tent, Liu Hailong couldn't help but start cursing.

"Brother-in-law, why don't we just break ties with Su Chen completely?!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Kun almost burst out laughing in anger.

"Tear off the mask? How exactly did you tear off the mask?"

"Let alone whether we can subdue Su Chen, even if we can, how can we convince the public if we arrest him for no reason?"

"What do the leaders of other factions think of us?"

"Besides, capturing Su Chen is a minor matter; if it forces the Watchers Alliance to rebel, that would be a real problem!"

Hearing this, Liu Hailong felt somewhat discouraged.

"What can we do then? We can't just stand by and watch this kid take all the benefits, can we?"

Cheng Kun was also furious.

He originally intended to use this secret realm to eliminate Su Chen.

Not only did they fail, but Su Chen also broke through the secret realm, stealing the limelight and monopolizing all the benefits!

"No need to rush, I have another plan."

Cheng Kun suppressed his anger and sneered.

"It won't be long before we find out what Su Chen obtained from the secret realm!"

……

With the disappearance of the Purple Mountain Secret Realm, this operation has come to an end.

Zhuque naturally wouldn't linger here.

The day after the banquet, Cheng Kun ordered the camp to be packed up and the return journey to begin.

A few hours later, Suzaku's convoy returned to Star Harbor City.

"Boss Su!"

As soon as Su Chen got out of the car, he saw Wang Yan and Ding Di, along with Meng Qi, quickly coming to greet him.

He was slightly taken aback.

Why didn't you go back?

"We're just worried about you."

Wang Yan said with a smile.

Su Chen had previously instructed Luo Xiaotian and the others to return to the Watchers Alliance.

Alone, he followed Zhuque to explore the Purple Mountain Secret Realm.

However, Wang Yan and Ding Di were really worried about Su Chen.

Although they couldn't go to Zishan with them, they still took Mengqi with them and waited in Xinggang City.

Knowing that Su Chen and the others had returned safely, the two of them and Meng Qi waited here specifically for them.

Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart, smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, without saying anything more.

"Ok?"

Mengqi sniffed at Su Chen, then asked in confusion,

"Boss, why do I feel like there's a familiar aura about you?"

Su Chen's heart stirred, remembering Qinglong's words.

He patted Mengqi's head and smiled.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."
