The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 715: Chapter 716 Dao Jiu’s Enlightenment

Liu Chao was very cautious and kept his distance from Pangolin, as he noticed that Pangolin had been especially irritable over the last few days, often threatening to kill him. This gave Liu Chao the feeling of being in the presence of a ferocious tiger, so he preferred to keep some distance from Pangolin now.

At this moment, Dao Jiu appeared. Pangolin instinctively stood up. Since he was showing up now, why hadn’t Su Changfeng appeared?

Glancing at a few people from Purgatory, Pangolin gritted his teeth and walked towards Dao Jiu.

Regardless of whether getting close to Dao Jiu would attract the attention of those from Purgatory, Pangolin had no choice but to proceed. He had to find out if the person in the hood was indeed the one he had in mind.

“Dao Jiu,” Pangolin called out, moving closer.

“Where is Brother Changfeng?” Dao Jiu asked.

Pangolin gasped sharply. As expected, the man really was Su Changfeng.

He wasn’t mistaken.

But why would Su Changfeng come to Purgatory, and how did he become so powerful compared to the Su Changfeng he used to know?

“Why did Brother Changfeng come to Purgatory?” Pangolin asked.

Dao Jiu snorted coldly and said, “If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve been out of contact, Brother Changfeng wouldn’t have come to Purgatory personally. It’s all because of your incompetence.”

Pangolin didn’t complain about this, only sighed. Even though Purgatory didn’t give him any opportunity to investigate, it was indeed his failing that he couldn’t argue against.

“I admit my incompetence this time, but even so, Brother Changfeng shouldn’t have come to Purgatory,” Pangolin said helplessly.

“Then where did Brother Changfeng go?” Dao Jiu asked.

“He might be locked in the little black room by Purgatory, or maybe because Brother Changfeng killed someone from Purgatory, so he was… secretly executed by them,” Pangolin said.

Upon hearing the word “execution,” a violent aura surged from Dao Jiu as he grabbed Pangolin by the collar, asking, “Are you saying Brother Changfeng might have been killed by Purgatory?”

“Ever since Brother Changfeng entered Purgatory, they’ve been targeting him, constantly forcing him to participate in arena matches. So I think Purgatory intends to kill Brother Changfeng, and in the previous arena match where Brother Changfeng killed someone from Purgatory, they definitely wouldn’t let it go,” Pangolin said. He wasn’t the only one who thought this way; basically, everyone inside Purgatory believed the same.

Killing within Purgatory is taboo, let alone Su Changfeng, who instantly killed more than ten people, all of whom were Purgatory staff.

Dao Jiu angrily kicked Pangolin.

Pangolin staggered back several steps before collapsing to the ground.

The people from Purgatory, seeing this scene, didn’t intervene to stop it. Such minor conflicts played out almost daily, and they merely watched the show unfold.

Pangolin clutched his stomach, a grimace of pain contorting his face.

Dao Jiu took two steps forward, stood in front of Pangolin, and said, “You’ve been here for so long. Have you found any valuable information?”

Pangolin shook his head and replied, “Not only valuable information, but I haven’t even found any information of no value. Purgatory is completely different from what I imagined before coming here. It has no connection with the outside world, and no one can escape from it.”

Purgatory was not just an ordinary high wall. Even though Pangolin was skilled at jailbreak, he found no opportunity to leave Purgatory in such an environment.

After spending a week in Purgatory, Pangolin had already resigned to his fate. His only hope was to help Su Changfeng find information about Ye Qingtian. Unfortunately, he had no way to access Zone A, and all he had charted was part of the routes within Zone B, not even knowing which direction Zone A was in.

Dao Jiu adjusted his emotions. Venting his anger on Pangolin was of no use now. The immediate issue was to ascertain Su Changfeng’s current situation.

“Is there any way we can find out where Brother Changfeng is?” Dao Jiu bent down and quietly asked Pangolin.

“If there was a way, do you think I’d be sitting here waiting like this?” Pangolin replied helplessly. Besides waiting, he couldn’t think of any other way because security within Purgatory was extremely strict, and nothing was left to chance.

“Can’t we think of another way? Are we just going to keep waiting for Brother Changfeng to appear?” Dao Jiu clenched his teeth, filled with unwillingness!

Pangolin nodded. Although it was extremely frustrating, it was a situation he couldn’t change.

“Now, all we can hope for is that Purgatory hasn’t killed Brother Changfeng,” Pangolin said.

Dao Jiu’s chest heaved violently. He was particularly agitated now. The feeling of having strength but unable to use it frustrated him immensely.

Wait?

Not knowing anything about the situation, just watching, not knowing how long they’d have to wait.

Dao Jiu didn’t want to wait for death idly; he must find a way to clarify Su Changfeng’s situation, at least knowing if he was alive or dead.

“If I kill a few people, is there a chance that Purgatory will treat me the same way as they did Brother Changfeng?” Dao Jiu quietly asked.

Pangolin froze, then said with a horrified expression, “Dao Jiu, what are you planning? Don’t do anything foolish. If you act like this, you won’t be able to save Brother Changfeng, and you’ll end up losing your life too.”

Dao Jiu looked indifferent and said, “As long as I can understand Brother Changfeng’s situation, even sacrificing my life is worth it.”

Pangolin quickly stood up to block Dao Jiu, worried that he might do something irreversible.

“Don’t be hasty. Let’s wait a few more days. Maybe Purgatory will let Brother Changfeng show up. If you die now, how will I explain it to him when he comes out?” Pangolin said anxiously. Though Su Changfeng’s situation was still uncertain, he knew that if Dao Jiu really acted, he’d surely die because he and Su Changfeng were different.

“Die? If I were afraid of dying, do you think I’d come back to prison?” Dao Jiu said calmly.

In Dao Jiu’s eyes, from the moment he decided to come to Purgatory, he no longer cared about his life.

Wang Xiaoyun had Zhu Lie’s care, giving him peace of mind.

Plus, Dao Jiu knew that if he really managed to escape Purgatory or died, Wang Xiaoyun would be held dear by Zhu Lie for the rest of her life, treated as his own daughter.

So Dao Jiu didn’t care about his own life.

As long as he could ascertain Su Changfeng’s current situation, it would give him peace of mind. He had no fear of death.

Seeing Dao Jiu’s firm stance, Pangolin felt a headache. What was with this guy, and why was he not afraid of death?
