Virus King - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: The Court’s Attitude! The Fang Siblings!

TL: YYang

In the Imperial City, within a special residential compound. Though not large, its location was excellent, and most importantly, evolvers stood guard here, defending against any potential emergencies. Within this compound, there were no elevators, but the spacious flat housed a teenager under twenty, sitting on the sofa with a serious demeanor, as if receiving a reprimand from a superior.

Yet, there was clearly no one else in the living room. The young man was named Fang Zhong. If it had been two months ago, the name Fang Zhong would never have been mentioned in the core discussions of the court. At most, he would have been known as the wayward son of Minister Fang, the unambitious younger brother of Colonel Fang, the insignificant child of the Fang family. That was all.

However, two months later, this name had transformed, becoming one of the most central figures in the court’s core circle. Even within this large residential compound, Fang Zhong now had his own room, just like his sister and father, which was quite significant.

The changes within the court were undeniable. In just over a month, internal forces had been consolidated. A new circle of influence had been established, and Fang Zhong’s father was among them. But Fang Zhong didn’t care about these things. What he cared about now was the attitude of that existence, thousands of miles away, towards the court and towards him. This was crucial.

He had heard more than once from his father and sister that the new circle of influence’s attitude towards Group Chat No. 001 was that they must not offend, must not provoke, and must not become hostile. These three absolutes were the minimum baseline. His current respected and valued status was half due to his special talent and control over the treasury, and the other half was because he was the only court member who could contact Group Chat No. 001.

Now, for the invaluable S-Rank Demon Bloodline, Fang Zhong made a decision on his own, willing to expose his true identity to obtain it. With that item, the court’s power would be significantly enhanced! Most importantly, it would allow his sister’s strength to improve further, providing better protection for himself. He finally had the ability to protect his sister!

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before another message arrived.

[Bai: I understand. Rest assured, I won’t kick you out of the group over this!]

Chen Bai wasn’t just being polite. In the apocalypse, the court’s power was undoubtedly advantageous, but sometimes, advantages could turn into disadvantages. The establishment of power in the apocalypse depended on strength. He couldn’t control that, nor did Chen Bai intend to.

A mere God and Devil Trial Grounds was not even a speck of dust in the vast multiverse. Of course, the arrival of the God and Devil Trial Grounds had a completely different significance and value. As the Abyssal Overlord, the Abyss was his divine kingdom, and he didn’t need to concern himself with power struggles or conflicts with the court’s power.

On the contrary, the court’s power was not to be underestimated. Otherwise, Dragon City wouldn’t have maintained such influence and strength in the previous life.

[Bai: I have just one requirement. If I don’t allow it, the court cannot interfere or even know about certain matters, like Mount Shu! On Mount Shu, I don’t want to see any members who don’t belong to Group Chat No. 001! Of course, you’re definitely fine!]

Fang Zhong finally exhaled a long breath, a hint of excitement in his eyes. Previously, hiding his identity in the group made him feel guilty, but now, revealing it to Lord Bai made him feel incredibly relieved!

[Group’s Only Trash: Rest assured, Lord Bai! Our old man is very sensible and never asks about the inner workings of Group Chat No. 001! By the way, Lord Bai, can I give the Demon Bloodline I bought to my sister instead of using it myself?]

[Bai: It’s your purchase, and even if the money wasn’t yours, you decide who uses it! But next time, getting such a deal will be much harder, so consider it carefully!]

[Group’s Only Trash: Yes! Rest assured, I’ll give it to my sister! It’s like I’m using it myself!]

This kid was a sister-con?! Chen Bai didn’t pay further attention.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial City, Fang Zhong finally saw the item in his possession. A black, seemingly pulsating heart appeared in his hand…

However, before Fang Zhong could examine it closely, a voice sounded at the door:

“Little Zhong, Dad wants you to come eat!”

A woman in her twenties skillfully opened the door. She was dressed in a military uniform, and even her special long boots bore traces of blood, giving her an extremely cold and fierce aura. This aura was somewhat similar to Leng Shuang’s, but perhaps even more intense. Her long ponytail didn’t seem cumbersome; instead, it exuded a sense of freedom.

The woman’s name was Fang Ning, previously an instructor in a special forces unit within the court. Now, she was a core blade of the court’s military forces. She led the surviving and loyal evolver soldiers to clear out zombies in the Imperial City and its outskirts as the sole leader! She also ranked twenty-ninth on the evolver level leaderboard, having reached level 12, a powerful evolver!

However, Fang Ning was momentarily stunned, looking incredulously at the heart-like object pulsating in her younger brother’s hand.

“Little Zhong, this is…”

Fang Zhong immediately stood up, looking excitedly at his sister, who had protected him since childhood. It was precisely because of his sister that he hadn’t followed the path of the second and third-generation scions in the Imperial City’s playboy circles, indulging in vices. At most, he enjoyed playing games and was a bit of a miser.

Fang Zhong directly handed the item over: “Group Chat No. 001 held an auction, and this was the grand finale item put up by Lord Bai. It’s for you, Sister!”

Fang Ning instinctively took it, and upon seeing it, her long, beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her brother. It was an S-Rank bloodline!

She suddenly thought of something: “Does Lord Bai and Group Chat No. 001 know your identity?!”

Fang Zhong nodded and then shook his head: “They do know, but it seems only Lord Bai knows, and he doesn’t seem to mind!”

Fang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly. Her political instincts, honed from her family background, quickly kicked in. Holding the invaluable bloodline, she grabbed Fang Zhong and said, “Let’s go, we need to tell the old man…”

With that, she led him out.
