56: Chapter 56 Garbage Needs to Be Sorted

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiongxiong woke up with a clang.

"Where am I?"

Zhao Xiongxiong was completely baffled. The only thing he remembered was his 'desperate counterattack,' and nothing after that.

"Brother Overlord, we're by the lake. Do you want to wash your face, Brother Overlord?"

"Wash my face?" Zhao Xiongxiong looked around in confusion. There really was a pool nearby.

Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a wave of dizziness.

His head felt as if it had been run over by a large truck.

It was a pain like being struck by a heavy hammer.

He pushed away the hand supporting him and staggered to the edge of the pool.

As there was little wind at the moment, Zhao Xiongxiong easily saw his current appearance.

His hair was filthy and damp with mud, and the dried mud on his face had left white imprints.

His entire body looked as if he had rolled around violently on the ground and someone had then buried his head in the dirt.

"Who did this?" Zhao Xiongxiong gritted his teeth. No one had ever dared to humiliate him like this.

"Fang Jiangqin."

Someone prompted him.

"Oh..."

The teeth Zhao Xiongxiong was gritting suddenly relaxed considerably.

Hearing that name, he immediately recalled the punch Jiang Qin had thrown, and his eyes instantly cleared up a lot.

"Brother Overlord, what do we do now? Should we go find the Captain later? Should we talk to the Captain about this?"

"Talk to the Captain?" Zhao Xiongxiong thought of Wu Ming, and his eyes narrowed again.

Their trip to East City this time was not just for fun.

The key was to find the person standing behind Jiang Qin and establish contact with that person.

Preferably, they needed to offer that person terms that could not be refused to pull them into the Imperial Capital.

But now...

"I remember, doesn't Fang Jiangqin have an older brother? Is he just an ordinary person?"

"Yes.", someone immediately replied, "I heard he's a Chuunibyou, fantasizing all day about being some kind of superhero or something."

"Then let's pay him a visit. If the sister is ignorant, the brother can't be ignorant too, right?"

"But Brother Overlord, what about Captain Wu?"

"Don't worry. As long as we can get news about that Senior, we can do anything."

...

...

"Achoo."

Fang Xun was at home, stroking the Flower Branch Rat gifted by Qi Lian, looking like he was casually watching TV, when he suddenly sneezed.

"What's going on? Does the girl miss me?"

This unprompted thought made Fang Xun alert, and he quickly opened his phone to check.

Unfortunately, there was no message from Jiang Qin.

"Tsk, she's in college now. She's forgotten her brother. I'm not lonely at all being home by myself."

Fang Xun muttered while editing a message on his phone.

But after editing it, he deleted the message piece by piece.

Messages like that were too embarrassing.

"Forget it. Jiang Qin will probably be back for lunch. I'll go buy some groceries first."

Fang Xun thought this, turned off the TV, and headed out with his vegetable basket.

Although he wasn't short on money, over the years, Fang Xun had developed a habit of frugality.

When Fang Xun went downstairs and out the door, just as he was tossing the trash into the bin downstairs, a group of seven people walked past him with a clanging sound.

On Fang Xun's shoulder, the Flower Branch Rat chirped at them twice.

Fang Xun looked at the person leading the group with a very surprised expression.

Is this a new tenant?

Good heavens, all those big iron chains on him—they must be worth at least five yuan to sell!

However, no matter how alternative they looked, it had nothing to do with him.

Fang Xun, carrying his vegetable basket, prepared to go buy groceries first.

"Hey."

Fang Xun hadn't taken two steps before he was called back.

When Fang Xun turned around, it was the person with the big iron chains.

"Do you know where Fang Xun lives?" Zhao Xiongxiong asked directly.

"Who?" Fang Xun frowned. Why were they looking for him? He shouldn't know anyone so messy, right?

"Fang Xun, Fang Jiangqin's older brother.", Zhao Xiongxiong said impatiently.

Why did this person seem like he couldn't understand human language?

"Don't know him.", Fang Xun felt this person wasn't quite right and couldn't be bothered to engage further.

He would ask his sister about it later.

Just as Fang Xun was about to turn away, he heard the alternative person blurt out something.

"Tsk, where does that little symbol live? Once I find him..."

With a loud crash.

As if a basketball had been violently dunked, the few people in front of Zhao Xiongxiong didn't even react before Zhao Xiongxiong vanished from sight.

"What exactly are you guys here for?"

Fang Xun frowned and stood in front of them again.

"None of your..."

Crash.

This time, because Fang Xun was standing in front of them and made a move, they barely managed to see what had just happened.

Fang Xun merely raised a hand, and the person who spoke was thrown out, landing headfirst into the nearby green trash can.

At this moment, they finally understood where Zhao Xiongxiong had gone just now.

Zhao Xiongxiong was currently flailing his feet inside another trash can.

"Who... who are you?" Seeing this, the few people knew they had messed with someone tough.

"Who am I? Are you worthy of knowing? Take these two idiots and scram.", Fang Xun said unhappily.

"Yes... yes, yes..."

The remaining five people immediately nodded repeatedly, not daring to say anything more.

"Still not leaving?"

"Leaving! Leaving immediately!"

Just as the group was about to fish Zhao Xiongxiong and the other fool out of the trash can, Fang Xun suddenly remembered something.

"You guys saw me, right?"

"Yes... no, no! No! No!!!!"

"Too bad. I can't feel at ease."

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

Regardless of gender, not a single one was spared.

Looking at the overflowing trash cans, Fang Xun clapped his hands in satisfaction and left.

The Great Memory Erasure Technique is still quite useful.

After leaving the complex gate, Fang Xun suddenly realized something.

"Hey, my strength, I can use it freely now?"

Fang Xun thought this and casually stomped his foot on the ground.

With a 'crack,' the concrete brick paving the ground immediately fractured.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xun looked at the brick, his gaze drifting as if he were an unrelated party leaving the crime scene.

When he reached the vegetable market, Fang Xun rubbed his face forcefully.

He had been holding back laughter the entire walk, and his face was almost twitching.

"A portion of my strength is finally permanent. Is it because I needed it, and felt it necessary to exist?"

Fang Xun thought while looking at the vegetables in the market.

Now, he had a rough idea of the nature of his power.

It was the power that he needed and absolutely had to believe in.

But obviously, achieving this was quite difficult.

When decades of common sense told him that fire was hot, how could he convince himself that fire was ice-cold?

...

"Brother Overlord!!! Brother Overlord!!!!"

"Who on earth was that person! Who was it!!!!"

Amidst the scattered trash, Zhao Xiongxiong sat in the pile of garbage, with sewage slowly dripping from his head.

A young girl in a short skirt was sitting on the ground sobbing, with unknown food smeared on her pretty face.

"I will kill him!!!!!!"
