Abyss Summoner

Chapter 536 - 523: Breakthrough Point

Chen Feng likes smart people.

Just like Yan Xiu sitting not far from him, as a strong person, who doesn’t have pride and self-respect? Especially as a leader of a faction, face is their second life.

Yet this is the kind of person who, after sensing some information, kneels without hesitation and admits mistakes sincerely, without leaving any flaws.

In the room, there is a table filled with various foods, not just seafood, but also a dazzling array of other ingredients. Some small bowls even contain golden liquid, and the rich sweet aroma wafts into Yan Xiu’s nose, prompting him to sniff a few times.

Yan Xiu likes sweet food. As a child who grew up in the south, sweet bean curd and sweet rice dumplings are indispensable foods, and even buns taste better with sugar.

Just like the ingredients in the bowl, he only sniffed them and knew this was honey, fragrant and thick. In Xiamen City, he had never seen such top-quality honey.

Sweet foods, he hasn’t tasted those familiar foods for a long time.

With his strength, getting some ingredients isn’t difficult, but now is the apocalypse, an era where survival is uncertain every day, and death may come in the next second, so how could he have the spare mind for desires of the palate?

In this world, the only purpose of food is to fill the stomach.

So, when Chen Feng invited him to eat, he initially thought it was just a formality. But when the table was filled with numerous delicacies, he felt a bit at a loss.

Familiar dishes, unfamiliar dishes, one after another appeared before him. For a brief moment, he seemed to feel that he returned to a peaceful era, tasting delicious food in a hotel with an important guest.

But the pain on his cheeks kept reminding him, he had just been slapped by the other party over a dozen times, and even his subordinates were slaughtered a third by the other party with just a word.

The other party is somewhat unpredictable. Who sends fish one moment and kills people the next?

Yan Xiu warned himself not to show any resentment. Once the other party sees that he holds a grudge because of his companions, he might also suffer the consequences.

He did well, not daring to move his chopsticks from the moment he knelt down, performing flawlessly. But perhaps one thing needs clarification; he found that he wasn’t pretending, but it was reality. He was scared, scared like a quail, a man in his forties not daring to raise his head.

He feared that if the opponent saw him even once, he would rise up and kill?

But Chen Feng didn’t care at all, his face showing no gloominess despite causing dozens to die with a single sentence. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said to Yan Xiu, "Eat."

Yan Xiu lowered his head, picked up his chopsticks, and without looking at the food, stuffed it into his mouth, nodding while eating, as if trying to show Chen Feng his actions, saying look at how obedient I am.

"Originally, our relationship didn’t need to be so stiff." Chen Feng tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "Of course, it doesn’t rule out that you wouldn’t suffer casualties. I came from thousands of miles away to collect resources along the way. You have ships and supplies, which are my targets for this trip."

"Sending you fish was just to ask about the situation here. Later, I may take a liking to some things, or I may leave without them. But what I like, you must give me. If you don’t, I will kill you. People say the world has changed, and yes, it has become simpler. For me, what I like is mine. If you compete with me, you are the enemy. Enemies, should all die."

"Huh..."

Yan Xiu said nothing, continued burying his head and eating, bite after bite, as if a starved ghost, seeming to ignore what Chen Feng was saying. But his body shook more violently.

At this moment, he could finally confirm one thing: the other party is not only a villain but also a madman.

"Alright, stop eating. I have questions for you." Chen Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks, his tone not high.

When Chen Feng uttered this sentence, Yan Xiu had been eating continuously for over ten minutes. Despite being a professional with enhanced abilities, he still felt a bit stuffed, feeling as if moving might cause him to throw up.

This nearly thirty-year-old powerhouse didn’t have the courage of glaring at him earlier, only wiped his mouth with a napkin, secretly swore, even if his stomach burst, not a single morsel would escape from his mouth.

"What’s the name of this city? How many factions are there inside? How many are stronger than you? I need you to tell me everything, rest assured, after you finish, I will release you and your brothers."

Chen Feng sat in the chair, his gaze as calm as ever.

Yan Xiu took a moment, waited for his condition to improve, and then began to articulate.

Time passed quietly, an hour had gone by since Yan Xiu started his narration, he disclosed everything he knew, Chen Feng realized the other party wasn’t lying.

Xiamen.

Special Economic Zone, an important central city, port, and scenic tourist city on the southeast coast.

During peacetime, the resident population of over four million, but this is only one-fifth. Knowing that as a city with superior economic conditions, it attracted fortune seekers from all over, with a floating population exceeding ten million. In the past, it was a paradise for countless promising individuals to start businesses.

With the apocalypse arriving, Xiamen was equally impacted, but heroes emerge in chaos, the probability of heroes appearing in this populous city is certainly much higher compared to impoverished cities.

According to Yan Xiu, in this city, there are about a dozen people like him, and five stronger than him. These people are all legendary figures in Xiamen City, holding resources and connections, establishing their own dominions.

Everyone has built their own legacy.

Through some indirect indications, Chen Feng also deduced that Yan Xiu was not fighting alone, in the past, although he was free, when fighting for territory, he also needed to choose the right side, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had a foothold.

"Five factions? Which side are you on?" Chen Feng asked with interest.

Yan Xiu softened his voice, trying not to make Chen Feng think he was boasting, and said somewhat submissively, "I mainly rely on the sea for livelihood, therefore, I rely on the [King of the Sea Curtain] Li Hongyi."

Chen Feng also knew the rumors of this Xiamen City, every celebrity seemed to like giving themselves catchy nicknames.

"King of the Sea Curtain?"

Chen Feng muttered to himself, no one knew what he was thinking.
