Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 258: Chapter 51 We Can Give You a Glamourous and Wealthy Life (For Alliance Hierarch Bai’s Fan, Added 4/10)_1

The road conditions in the inner city zone were decent. At least the route from the military headquarters to the villa district was quite good. This referred not just to the quality of the roads, but also to the number of vehicles. Before the apocalypse, Yanjing City was notorious for its congestion, but now...

Wen Yu delighted in having the entire highway to himself. Coupled with the admiring and surprised glances from the soldiers on the roadside, he couldn’t help but marvel.

This is the advantage that power brings!

The car Kuangliu had given Wen Yu had an unusual license plate. This was clear from the fact that he could enter or leave the military headquarters building without stopping for inspection. Wen Yu naturally indulged in this privilege.

Pressing hard on the accelerator, feeling the inertia press against his back, the exhilaration Wen Yu felt was palpable!

Although Wen Yu had never driven a car nor possessed a driver’s license, with a professionist’s reflexes, these things were simple. Wen Yu had understood how to operate the car just from observing Kuangliu’s actions the previous day.

As for traffic regulations... Before Wen Yu could contemplate these issues, the villa district was already in sight.

「...」

He slammed on the brakes, the inertia causing his body to sway slightly. Seeing the military vehicle that had appeared and Fang Yuan standing at his doorstep, Wen Yu sighed.

Commander Lin is such an old fox; he even guessed this...

Then he sighed inwardly for these members of the Aristocratic Families.

I hope you all show some sincerity; otherwise, this celebratory feast will turn into a funeral.

Wen Yu didn’t consider the task Commander Lin had assigned him as something he absolutely had to complete. This was a collaboration, not a commitment!

If the Aristocratic Families offered substantial enough benefits, he could completely overturn the terms of their cooperation. So what if it offended Lin Haifeng?

Thus, as Fang Yuan beamed with a friendly expression, he likely didn’t realize that his own attitude, or what he was about to offer, would determine the life and death of many people!

When Wen Yu got out of the car, he feigned a perplexed look.

”You are Colonel Fang Yuan, right? We met yesterday.”

Fang Yuan hurried over to Wen Yu in just a few steps, a genial smile on his face as he spoke.

”I’m truly sorry, Brother Wen Yu. I was blind not to recognize your greatness yesterday and may have offended you. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me.”

Amidst their pleasantries, Wen Yu invited Fang Yuan into the villa. The two professionists Fang Yuan had brought with him followed. Their strength wasn’t low; both possessed the strength of the Mid-Third Stage. This also served as proof that the Aristocratic Families weren’t actually weak.

Unfortunately, they probably didn’t understand just how powerful the true experts at the peak of this world really were!

「...」

In the villa’s main hall, Fang Yuan sat in the guest’s seat, chattering away with Wen Yu about everyday matters. These were the old, pre-apocalypse conversational gambits. Of course, Fang Yuan himself was quite cultivated. Although it was just casual conversation, chatting with him still felt very relaxed—mainly because Fang Yuan told many risqué jokes. This could effectively close the distance between two young men.

So, in this peculiar dynamic where Fang Yuan spoke and Wen Yu listened, half an hour slipped away.

「...」

Seeing Wen Yu give a large yawn, Fang Yuan instantly knew that the man before him was running out of patience. He decisively changed his approach!

”The first time I saw you yesterday, Brother Wen Yu, I knew you were no ordinary man. After returning, I looked into your identity a bit, and I never imagined you’d be Sequence Number 2! It truly astonished me.”

Hearing this, Wen Yu’s gaze turned ”cold”!

Although he already knew from Lin Haifeng that these people must have discovered his identity, the act still had to be played out in full! This is an actor’s dedication to his craft!

Seeing Wen Yu’s expression, Fang Yuan’s heart gave a sudden lurch. Wen Yu’s expression wasn’t surprising; anyone would be somewhat wary of such unauthorized investigations into their affairs.

”Don’t be angry, Brother Wen Yu. Actually, this is a good thing.”

”Oh? You investigating me is a good thing? I don’t quite understand what you mean by that.”
