Chen Fan stood in the hall, surveying his surroundings.
Of course, at this moment, he had already disguised himself as Fang Liang. This way, he could smoothly infiltrate the opponent’s secret base and also meet the leader here.
In a way, it was using the opponent’s methods against them.
At this moment, many people in black robes were standing around the hall, gathered in groups of two or three, whispering to each other as they watched him.
"Isn’t Fang Liang supposed to be in Anshan City? Why did he suddenly e back today? If I remember correctly, he just left yesterday, didn’t he? It hasn’t even been two days."
"Yeah, they went together in a group, but why is he the only one back tonight? Could it be that something bad happened? Did the entire team get wiped out?"
"Doesn’t look like it though? He seems to be in a good mood. If the entire team was wiped out, he wouldn’t be showing this expression, right?"
"Could it be that the mission is already pleted?"
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere instantly became quiet, and many people in black robes looked incredulous.
No way?
The mission is already pleted?
This quickly!
"Impossible, right? That was an army of ten thousand!"
"I think it’s likely. Look at him, so casual and relaxed. If the mission wasn’t pleted, how dare he e back alone and with this attitude?" someone said sourly.
"Hmph, what’s so great about that? He was just lucky. If we were sent there, we could have pleted it too."
"Yeah, look at him, acting so smug."
Everyone was envious, jealous, and resentful.
"I’ll go and ask him."
One of the black-robed men said, smiling as he walked up.
"Brother Fang, back so soon? Mission pleted?"
He spoke while subtly observing Chen Fan’s reaction.
"Whether it’s pleted or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Chen Fan glanced at him.
He had heard all their conversations. Judging from the content, the relationships between everyone here weren’t all that good.
The most important thing was, there was no need to speak kindly to a man who was about to die.
"You!"
The other party was furious, his face alternating between red and white.
"Fang Liang, Lu Yuan was just showing concern for you. Do you need to be this angry?" Another black-robed man stepped up and stood beside Lu Yuan.
"Yes, if you had pleted the mission early, we would be happy for you." Another person walked up.
The others in the hall also pricked up their ears at this moment.
To be honest, they didn’t want Fang Liang to have pleted the mission so soon.
However, if Fang Liang really had pleted it early, it would prove that Anshan City was indeed a treasure land, and they would go next.
"Heh."
Chen Fan sneered, not bothering to waste words with these people.
The three of them exchanged glances and walked away angrily.
"This Fang Liang is so arrogant! He better pray he doesn’t fall into my hands one day, or I’ll make sure he pays dearly!" Lu Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"Unlikely."
The man beside him looked serious. "Judging by his behavior, he must have pleted the mission ahead of time. When Lord Bishop es and hears this, he’ll definitely reward him."
"Yeah, it might widen the gap between us and him even more."
"What’s there to be afraid of?" Lu Yuan snorted, "He went to Anshan City, can’t we? When Lord Bishop arrives, we’ll volunteer. If he doesn’t approve, we can secretly take people there ourselves."
"Let’s do it!"
The eyes of the two others lit up.
"You’re dreaming."
Chen Fan smiled faintly.
It’s just that, you won’t have the chance.
"Tap, tap."
Footsteps echoed.
In an instant, the people who had been discussing in the hall fell silent, standing solemnly.
Chen Fan looked in the direction of the sound,
a man wearing a red robe, holding a staff, was slowly walking towards them.
"It seems that this person is the Bishop."
Chen Fan thought.
Yang Yi frowned.
He felt that Fang Liang seemed off today.
In fact, it wasn’t just him, the others had also noticed it.
Everyone else had their hands in front, slightly bowing, their eyes on the floor.
But this one had his hands behind his back, head held high.
"Is he just being arrogant because he finished his task early?"
Everyone was practically exploding with jealousy.
Yang Yi was infuriated by the sight.
This Fang Liang, returned without his order, fine.
But now seeing him, still acting so superior, who gave him this courage? Hmm?
"Fine, this bishop will see what next you have to say."
Suppressing his anger, Yang Yi said in a frosty tone, "Fang Liang, why did you return alone? Where are the others?"
"They’re all dead."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
"!"
His words were like tossing a boulder into a calm lake, causing instant uproar.
All the black-robed men were stunned.
Wait, this isn’t right?
They thought Fang Liang had returned early because he had pleted the mission and, as the team leader, came back to report while the others continued their activities in Anshan City.
But now you suddenly say they are all dead?
Are you kidding?
Yang Yi’s expression wasn’t great either.
Fortunately, he quickly posed himself, his gaze sharp, the temperature seemingly dropped several degrees,
"Fang Liang, what did you just say? All who went with you are dead? Then how did you e back?"
Lu Yuan and the others exchanged looks, their faces showing schadenfreude.
"How did I e back?"
Chen Fan smiled, looked at his feet, then raised his head, "How else, I walked back, of course."
As soon as he finished, the atmosphere in the hall turned tense.
Because anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong!
"What’s up with Fang Liang today? Did he get possessed? Or is he just itching for a fight? Daring to speak to Lord Bishop like that?"
"Could he be possessed?"
"Does he have guts to return early? Even if he pleted his task, he shouldn’t be this arrogant, right?"
"You!"
Yang Yi showed an angry expression.
Since he became bishop, no subordinate had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone!
"Fang Liang, I’ll give you one last chance to explain what happened. If you still resist, don’t blame me for being harsh."
"Are you planning to fight me now?"
Chen Fan sighed, "Why don’t you ask how the mission went instead?"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at one another, unsure of what he was up to.
Yang Yi was also taken aback.
He stared at Chen Fan, wondering if this guy finished his mission too early and got carried away?
He should think about who gave him the intel and sent him on this mission.
"Fine."
He chuckled coldly, "Then let me ask you, how did your task go?"
Speaking this, he made up his mind, even if the task was pleted, no reward would be given, punishment instead, to establish authority.
"The mission hasn’t even started."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"???"
Everyone dropped their jaws, almost questioning reality.
No?
The mission hasn’t started, how dare you e back?
And when the team is dead!
This is suicidal!
Lu Yuan and the others couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Hahaha, Fang Liang is dead meat, and it will be very gruesome!
Previously, Peng Song failed and was executed by Lord Bishop, and Fang Liang played a key role in it.
He must not have imagined retribution would e so swiftly.
However, some sensed something was off.
Because any sane person would escape than face certain death.
But he came back, boldly.
Is he crazy, fearless?
Or confident, thinking Bishop can’t harm him?
"The mission hasn’t started?"
Yang Yi felt his lungs would explode from rage.
He stared hard at Chen Fan, "Fang Liang, do you know what you’re saying?"
"Of course I know."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Fine."
Yang Yi was so enraged that he laughed, "If you know what you’re saying, you must also know that your mission failed, right?"
"Indeed, it failed."
Chen Fan nodded again.
"Good you admitted."
Yang Yi looked at everyone, "You all heard him? A failed mission, you know the consequences."
"No need, Lord Bishop."
"Indeed, Lord Bishop, Fang Liang not only failed but disrespected you, he must be made an example of!"
"Exactly! Sacrifice him to Lord Black Demon!"
Everyone shouted.
Yang Yi raised his staff, signaling silence.
He then showed a sinister smile, staring at Chen Fan, "Fang Liang, you heard them, so prepare to die now."
"No need for that."
Chen Fan shook his head, looking calm, "Fang Liang is already dead."
"What?"
Yang Yi was shocked.
In the next moment, an unforgettable scene unfolded.
With a cracking sound, Fang Liang’s body suddenly grew taller, and his face changed.
In a blink of an eye, no, he had transformed into a different person.
"You’re not Fang Liang! Who are you really!"
Yang Yi yelled, his face showing panic.
