114: The Lin family's decision

As the gate opened, the noisy discussions abruptly ceased.

Then, Huang Chen and All the women slowly walked out from the gate.

Jiang Yun and the others stayed directly in the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for Xie Chunyan to allocate resources to repair it.

"He... they're not dead!"

"How is that possible!"

"Could it be... in just a few dozen minutes, they cleared all the monsters in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Chairman Huang..."

...Everyone standing opposite them, who had been kicked out of Forbidden City or chose not to enter the City Lord's Mansion, stared with wide eyes, looking utterly disbelieving.

At this moment, regret and fear filled everyone's hearts.

Huang Chen coldly glanced at the crowd.

Everyone who met his gaze retreated two steps in fear.

He wouldn't attack us, would he?

However, Huang Chen merely glanced at them, then waved his hand and led All the women directly to the teleportation altar.

Seeing Huang Chen leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, some quick-witted individuals immediately ran towards the gate.

What was wrong with them being afraid of death?

It was Huang Chen's fault for not telling them earlier that he had the ability to conquer the City Lord's Mansion.

If Huang Chen had said so earlier, they wouldn't have withdrawn.

So, as long as they explained it clearly to Jiang Yun, with Jiang Yun's amiable personality, she should accept them again.

With someone taking the lead, the remaining people suddenly realized and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion gate.

However, when they knocked on the gate, they were met with indiscriminate skill attacks... When Huang Chen left, he left a message for Jiang Yun: if anyone outside dared to approach the City Lord's Mansion, kill them all without mercy.

Forbidden City had expanded too quickly, and during extraordinary times, if some iron-blooded methods weren't used, there would be endless trouble.

The best approach was to use severe laws in chaotic times, directly deterring with violence!

...Based on the City Lord's Mansion's strength, Huang Chen could conquer one in about 40 minutes. Excluding travel delays, he could take down one on average every hour.

When he arrived at Satellite City No. 2, the full contingent of 3115 people were already lined up neatly in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

And the melodramatic plot from Main City No. 1 did not reappear.

Because Xie Chunyan, to deter the newly joined guild members, had Jiang Yun send some recorded footage directly to the group chat.

Seeing Huang Chen's arrival, everyone stood ramrod straight, their faces solemn.

As if they were afraid of accidentally angering this God of Slaughter.

Huang Chen wasted no words and entered the mansion directly.

With 97 City Lord's Mansions remaining, one hour per mansion, if he fought non-stop, it would take him at least 4 days to conquer all of them.

But could he fight non-stop for 4 days?

Of course he could. Don't forget he still had tens of thousands of soul crystals and Physique in his bag.

These were good things!

When tired from grinding, pop one, and immediately be full of vigor.

The effect was even better than blue pills.

This time, the conquest of Satellite City No. 2's City Lord's Mansion was at full capacity.

Tens of thousands of monsters, when distributed among 3000 people, wasn't actually that many.

It only raised the level of new recruits by seven or eight levels, while the original core members barely gained one level.

It seemed that after clearing the Satellite City, a large-scale leveling event would still need to be organized to quickly meet the requirement of ten thousand Level 50 players.

Fortunately, the drop rate in the City Lord's Mansion was very high, contributing a lot of equipment, life skill books, and materials.

And while Huang Chen was busy conquering the Satellite City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Qinglian and the other woman had already informed their families about their relationship with Huang Chen.

When Lin Kun, the Lin family's grandfather, first heard that Li Jiadong had been killed, he almost fell off his grand armchair in fright.

However, knowing that the killer was Huang Chen, his hanging heart finally settled.

With Huang Chen's strength and dominance, the Li family probably wouldn't dare to do anything excessive.

At worst, he could take the family and directly leave the Official Faction to seek refuge with his granddaughter.

Presumably, his grandson-in-law wouldn't refuse!

After all, in the Official Faction now, these civil officials had been marginalized and had no say.

And the only one present who was indignant was Lin Xiao, Lin Qinglian's father.

His face was gloomy throughout, and his teeth were almost ground to dust.

After all, two 'cabbages' he had raised for 20 years had been 'rooted' by a pig, and it was the same pig.

Moreover, this pig had already 'rooted' 31 'cabbages' before.

This was simply a breeding boar from the countryside.

Lin Xiao now had the urge to flay Huang Chen alive.

Just then, Lin Kun suddenly bellowed, "Lin Xiao!"

Lin Xiao was startled, caught off guard. After recovering, he turned his head and responded, "Father."

"Alas!"

Lin Kun sighed, his expression tinged with sadness, and said, "Xiao'er, do you know how many people die every day in Star Abyss?"

Lin Xiao opened his mouth upon hearing this, but before he could answer, Lin Kun continued:

"Although there are no statistics, the Official Faction estimates that no less than a million Huaxia Clan members die daily during leveling."

"Our Lin family has received the Official Faction's protection and has not encountered any crises yet."

"However, I believe you've also noticed. We useless old geezers are gradually being marginalized by the Official Faction."

"Leaving aside other matters, this time with the establishment of the Huaxia Guild, none of our civil official families were on the first batch of joining lists."

"I estimate that the Official Faction will soon abandon us."

"At that time, where will our Lin family go?"

"I know you're angry about Qinglian and Qingmei, but have you ever considered that if we are abandoned by the Official Faction, with the beauty of these two granddaughters, could you protect them?"

"I'm afraid they would ultimately become playthings for certain people."

"If Li Jiadong had succeeded this time, do you think you could have gotten justice?"

"Although Huang Chen has many women, from what we've seen so far, he treats all of them relatively well.

Perhaps, this is the best outcome for both Qinglian and Qingmei."

"I hope you can understand this principle."

Lin Kun said a lot in one breath, and then ignored Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao stood rooted to the spot, his expression constantly changing. How could he not understand these principles?

It's just... alas!

A moment later, he let out a deep breath, and said dejectedly, "Never mind, never mind, it's my fault for being useless!"

Seeing their father's dejected expression, the two women gently held his hands from either side, not offering words of comfort.

But that strength seemed to directly indicate that neither of them felt wronged.

After a while, Lin Xiao recovered, his mind filled with the desire to become stronger, and his expression gradually firmed.

Then he turned to look at his two daughters and asked, "Since it's already a fact, anything I say is useless."

"But since you've become Huang Chen's women, helping the family should be possible, right?"

"Forbidden City is currently claiming land everywhere for leveling. Can you see if we can join Forbidden City, or have them help us level up?"

Lin Qinglian and the other woman smiled when they saw their father's eyes regain their spirit.

Lin Qinglian said, "Of course that's no problem. I'll tell my husband."

With that, Lin Qinglian sent a message to Huang Chen.

Lin Xiao's face, which had returned to normal, twitched twice involuntarily when he heard the word 'husband'.

Huang Chen replied quickly.

[Huang Chen: Of course, your family is my family. Why don't you come find me now? Leveling up is faster here.]

[Lin Qinglian: We won't go. Mom heard that the Level 50 dungeon is a bit scary, so we'll just level up with the main group here in the main city.]

[Huang Chen: Alright then, Tie Shengnan is currently leading a team to conquer the Level 45 Dark Gold Jade-Eyed Scaled Crocodile Nest. You can go directly to them.]

[Huang Chen: I forgot to add you two to the guild. I'll have Shengnan add you and your family later. Tell your parents that the Lin family should move to Forbidden City from now on.]

[Lin Qinglian: Okay! Thank you, husband.]

After sending the message, Lin Qinglian turned to her father and said, "Husband said to add our whole family. Should we go find Sister Shengnan now? She's doing a Level 45 dark gold dungeon, it's very safe."

"Good!" The Lin family members immediately showed excited expressions upon hearing the two women's confirmation.

Ever since coming to Star Abyss, they had always felt like dependents.

Now, thanks to the two women, the Lin family was finally doing well!

Lin Xiao nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then let's go now."

Subsequently, a group of about twenty people from the Lin family left the inn in a hurry and walked towards the city gate.

And just as they left the inn, a man hiding in the shadows quietly opened his communicator.

[Target's whole family is leaving the city!]

"Good!"

In the Li family's temporary meeting hall, the Li family patriarch stood up with a fierce expression, roaring upon seeing the message...
