80: Chapter 80 Arriving at the Wang Family's Residence

"That's right, that's right. We are indeed interested in joining the Wang Family. I wonder if you big brothers could do us a favor and pass that on?"

Ye Fan rolled his eyes at Li Hao, who was on the ground, then shifted his gaze to the five people in front of him who claimed to be from the Wang Family. With a slight smile on his face, he slowly spoke.

However, the reason Ye Fan did this was not because he feared the Wang Family or the five people before him.

It was simply out of a desire to avoid unnecessary trouble, and also to build a rapport with these five people so he could later learn about the Wang Family's current situation from them.

This would make it easier for Ye Fan and his companions to accomplish the purpose of their visit.

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he kept his eyes fixed on every move the five people made.

"Brother Gou, this..."

After the five heard what Ye Fan said, they quickly exchanged glances. A thin young man among them looked at a burly middle-aged man beside him and whispered.

The burly middle-aged man was silent for a few seconds, then his gaze quickly swept over Ye Fan and his two companions again.

Then he slowly said, "In that case, you three come with us! I'll take you to see Family Head Wang first. As for whether you can join the Wang Family, that depends on your performance."

"Alright, alright, thank you very much, brothers." Ye Fan beamed with an excited smile and waved his hands to thank the five men.

"Well, little brother, there's no need to be so polite. If you really do join the Wang Family, we'll be comrades."

The middle-aged man rested the axe in his hand lightly on his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go! I'll take you to see Family Head Wang."

"Okay!" Ye Fan nodded slowly in response.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he quickly shifted his gaze away from Ye Fan and his companions and looked at the four men beside him.

"Listen, you four keep patrolling. I'm going to take these three to see Family Head Wang."

"Sure thing, Brother Gou, go ahead! You can leave this to us; we've got it covered." The four men nodded quickly, smiling and patting their chests confidently.

"Alright, you guys be careful."

"Don't worry, Brother Gou, you be careful too!" The four men gripped their weapons tightly and said to the middle-aged man.

After they finished speaking, all four pairs of eyes turned toward Ye Fan and his companions, as if reminding the middle-aged man to be wary of the three of them.

Once they finished talking, the middle-aged man turned to Ye Fan and the others and said, "Come with me!"

He then turned around quickly and headed toward the Wang Family's location. Ye Fan and his companions followed closely behind.

Along the way, Ye Fan learned some information from the middle-aged man, most of which was about the Wang Family.

The middle-aged man leading them was named Zhao Ergou. He was just an ordinary person who had not awakened any special Supernatural Ability.

However, in this apocalypse, due to the lack of food and water, he had been forced to join the Wang Family just to survive, becoming one of their underlings.

Ye Fan learned from Zhao Ergou that the Wang Family's influence was now immense, having recruited hundreds of survivors.

As for the exact number, Zhao Ergou wasn't entirely sure, because since the apocalypse began, survivors had been coming to join the Wang Family every single day.

He only knew that among these hundreds of people, there were thirteen Ability Users. Of those thirteen, three had reached the level of Tier 2 Ability Users.

One of those three was the head of the Wang Family—Patriarch Wang Quan.

Therefore, Patriarch Wang Quan held great influence over these survivors. It was precisely for this reason that the majority of survivors chose to join the Wang Family.

Of course, that was only one reason. The primary reason was still for food, to be able to survive in this apocalypse.

After hearing this information from Zhao Ergou, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration for Family Head Wang. He thought to himself that the Wang Family was indeed worthy of being one of the three major families in Jiangcheng City. Even with the apocalypse upon them, they still maintained such influence; they were truly extraordinary.

This forced Ye Fan to re-evaluate the Wang Family. After all, the Li Family, also one of the three major families in Jiangcheng City, was completely incapable of exerting such influence.

Shortly after, Zhao Ergou brought Ye Fan and his companions to the front of a luxurious villa complex.

Around the villa complex, groups of four or five survivors could be seen patrolling from time to time.

As soon as Ye Fan and the others arrived at the gate of the villa complex, their path was blocked by two survivors wielding giant axes.

"Halt! What are you doing here?" The two men looked fierce and asked loudly, staring at Ye Fan and his companions.

As for Zhao Ergou, who had been following Ye Fan and his companions, he was ignored by the two men, who acted as if they hadn't seen him.

"Hey, hey, hey, brothers, it's me! Zhao Ergou, Captain of the 31st Squad. These three were brought in by me from outside. They also want to join our Wang Family. Could you please trouble yourselves to relay this to Family Head Wang?" Zhao Ergou said quickly, his face full of smiles and a fawning expression.

"Oh! Wait here, I'll go in and report." After hearing this, the two gatekeepers quickly sized up Ye Fan and his companions before speaking slowly.

"Then I'll trouble you, brothers." Zhao Ergou said with a squinting smile.

Watching all this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of admiration for Family Head Wang. It seemed the Wang Family's security awareness was truly strong—something that even made Ye Fan feel slightly inferior.

A moment later, the guard who had entered the mansion to notify Family Head Wang slowly walked back out.

His gaze slowly fell on Ye Fan and his companions as he said in a calm tone, "The three of you, come with me! Family Head Wang is waiting for you inside."

"Alright, go on in. I'll leave you here; I have other things to attend to." Zhao Ergou nodded slowly at Ye Fan and his companions and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help along the way, Brother Ergou."

"Ah, don't mention it! Once you successfully join the Wang Family, we'll all be on the same side."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy."

After the two parties said their goodbyes, the guard who had delivered the message led Ye Fan and his companions toward the mansion.
