Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2552: Chapter 2553: Turmoil in the Outside World

After saying that, the man was startled by his own words, quickly closed his mouth, and then looked around anxiously. Seeing no one paying attention to him, he sighed in relief.

But immediately he frowned and muttered softly, ”But such a big evil entity—Xue An—can’t possibly be unaware of it, then why would he still want to enter the battlefield?”

As he pondered this baffling question, a nearby conversation caught his attention.

A group of fierce-looking men with rough faces were gathered together, whispering about something.

”It’s really strange, just a moment ago the Head of the Stronghold was standing there perfectly fine, how come he suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

”That’s what I’m wondering. I even consulted with the Head of the Stronghold earlier about what we should do next, but he completely ignored me, just standing there dazed, as if he’d lost his soul.”

Someone slapped his thigh in agreement, ”Exactly, I also have that feeling! Ever since the battlefield closed, the Head has become really bizarre.”

The Head of the Stronghold? And he suddenly vanished?

The man picked up on this useful information from their conversation but didn’t give it much thought.

Yet the next part of their discussion made the man slightly alert.

”Actually, the Head’s weirdness isn’t something recent. Several days ago, he already seemed like a different person, not only strictly controlling us but also demanding we observe the surrounding people and immediately report to him if we spot any signs of an evil entity!”

The thug’s expression turned slightly unnatural as he spoke, ”Never mind the logic behind that order, but damn, that’s an evil entity! How can we dare to challenge one with our limited strength?”

This statement drew unanimous agreement from the group of thugs.

”And not just that, haven’t you noticed how unusually good the Head has been to that woman recently? There’s no more shouting or beating, and she even doesn’t have to serve him at night anymore! The Head certainly wasn’t like this before!”

”I noticed that too. Haven’t you seen how devoted that woman has become to the Head? Even when he suddenly disappeared, she was the most frantic one, searching all over the square, something that would never have happened before!”

These comments made the man who was about to leave stop in his tracks.

Though usually carefree, he was remarkably astute.

Especially since the situation they described was eerily similar to the behavior of a certain person.

And the next sentence confirmed his suspicion.

”The funniest part isn’t what you’re saying; right before coming to the square, the Head even told us to be prepared for an uprising by the evil entity and to immediately eliminate any signs of rebellion.”

The thug sneered contemptuously, ”This is the territory of the Yin and Yang Clan and the site of the Bai Family conference; I don’t believe any evil entity has the guts to wreak havoc here!”

”Besides, this isn’t really our concern. Honestly, with the Head’s strict control recently, even banning alcohol, I’m truly fed up. If it weren’t for the sake of everyone here, I’d have left long ago!”

This statement acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the emotions of the thugs.

Despite their usual subservience to the Head, not even daring to utter a single complaint.

Now, with the Head’s absence, they all started to voice their grievances.

”That’s right, I’ve long wanted out! Damn it! Can’t drink, can’t touch women, what kind of bandits are we? If the Head keeps this up, Gale Stronghold might as well be renamed Monk Temple!”

The thugs began to clamor in unison.

The man at this point had nearly pieced together the truth, looking at the thugs who brazenly slandered the ”Head,” with a sneer on his lips.

At that moment, a thug spoke deeply, ”Since everyone has such strong objections, coupled with Bao Huarong suddenly disappearing, his life or death unknown, we might as well rebel!”

”I also have that thought!”

”Yes!”

”But rebelling is one thing, just saying it isn’t enough; we need to do something. I propose that when that woman comes back, we take her out first, and this way even if Bao Huarong returns, nobody will dare go against us!”

This proposal was incredibly wicked, essentially binding everyone to the same fate.

Thus, the other thugs hesitated, exchanging glances, but soon all nodded in agreement.

The man coldly glanced at the thug who made the suggestion, noticing his pleased expression, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Just then, a woman returned, looking disoriented.

She was the woman who followed Bao Huarong, the Head of Gale Stronghold.

At the moment, her face was filled with clouds of sorrow, and her eyes were particularly brimming with panic and confusion.

When she arrived, the thugs exchanged looks and quietly spread out to surround her.

Of course, the woman was entirely unaware of this.

The thug who made the malicious suggestion walked up eagerly, ”Miss Chen, how are you? Did you find the Head?”

Chen Zuohui shook her head and said softly, ”No, I’ve searched the entire square and couldn’t find him. What about you guys?”

The thug feigned sorrow and sighed lightly, ”We also haven’t found the Head’s whereabouts, but we’ve discovered something else!”

”Oh? What did you find?” Chen Zuohui shuddered and quickly asked.

”There are too many people here; it’s inconvenient to explain. Please follow me and you’ll see!”

Not suspecting anything, Chen Zuohui followed the thug to a secluded part of the square.

Here, the crowd was sparse, and with the intentional blockade by the thugs, even if something happened, no one outside would know.

”Quick, tell me what you discovered! Is it about him?” Chen Zuohui asked urgently.

At this moment, the thug’s smile vanished suddenly and he spoke in a sinister and vicious tone.

”Seems like you’re quite loyal to Bao Huarong!”

Chen Zuohui shuddered, ”What do you mean?”

”What do I mean? To be frank, we’re no longer people of Gale Stronghold, and as for Bao Huarong, he’s probably already dead, so we’ve come to send you to hell!”

Saying that, the thug charged at Chen Zuohui to attack.

With her mediocre strength, Chen Zuohui stood no chance against these thugs; thus, seeing the thug rushing at her, despair welled in her heart.

Sadly, even until the moment of her death, she would not know your true face!
