Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Hong Tian!
“Zhou Yu? ”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu squinted and scrutinized the short man.
“Are you from Sang Country?”
The short man smiled slightly.
“Zhou Yu, I am Hong Tian, the supervisor of the Red Sun Branch of the Asia-East Alliance.”
“I heard that Zhou Yu has already been appointed as the Martial Pavilion Minister. On behalf of the Asia-East Alliance, I congratulate you.”
“Originally, I planned to visit you in a couple of days, but who would have thought I’d et you here by chance?”
“How about after I’ve dealt with the matters here, we have a drink together?”
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaoliang, standing beside, was already dumbfounded.
“You… Martial Pavilion… Minister?”
His eyes were filled with shock.
Zhou Yu, who ca from a poor, remote area in Yancheng, Qin State, how could possibly beco the Hu City Martial Pavilion Minister?
Isn’t this the biggest joke ever?
However, looking at Hong Tian’s deanor and words, it’s evidently not false.
Could it be that Zhou Yu really has beco the Martial Pavilion Minister?
For a mont, Yi Xiaoliang stared at Zhou Yu in disbelief.
But Zhou Yu did not notice Yi Xiaoliang’s reaction at this mont.
He was searching for information about the Asia-East Alliance in his mind.
Earlier in the day, he went over all the information about various forces in Hu City.
Among them was the Asia-East Alliance.
The Asia-East Alliance, as the na implies, is a comrcial alliance.
However, it is not just a simple comrcial alliance.
The main mbers of the Asia-East Alliance co from abroad, with a total of nine branches, each representing different countries.
The supervisors of these nine branches are the senior figures of the Asia-East Alliance.
Above the supervisors, there is an Alliance Hierarch and three Vice Alliance Hierarchs.
It is because of the unique composition of the Asia-East Alliance that leads to its powerful strength.
Facing the Asia-East Alliance for the first ti, Zhou Yu naturally wouldn’t shy away from them. Since the other party initiated the invite, Zhou Yu was more than willing to accept.
He smiled lightly and said:
“A drink wouldn’t be a problem.”
“But, this Mr. Yi is my friend.”
“I hold friends in high regard and can’t stand seeing my friends suffer.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Hong Tian’s leathery face disappeared instantly. He sneered and said:
“Mr. Zhou, if I heard correctly, you an to protect Yi Xiaoliang?”
Zhou Yu replied straightforwardly:
“That’s right, you understand correctly.”
Hong Tian’s face imdiately darkened.
“Mr. Zhou, are you aware of the strength of the Asia-East Alliance?”
Zhou Yu nodded.
“I know a bit.”
“Well then, I can clearly tell Mr. Zhou that the Yi family has offended the Asia-East Alliance. If the Alliance doesn’t deal with them, in the Hu City business community, they will beco a laughing stock.”
“Mr. Zhou, if you insist on stopping us, you’re going against the Asia-East Alliance.”
“Of course, if Mr. Zhou chooses not to get involved, the Asia-East Alliance is willing to cooperate with Mr. Zhou and can help you stand firm in the Martial Pavilion in the shortest ti.”
Though Hong Tian spoke politely, his tone already implied a threat.
However, Zhou Yu seed oblivious, still smiling softly:
“Whether I stand firm is none of your concern.”
“I’ve ntioned before that I can’t stand seeing my friends suffer.”
“If you want to cooperate with , we can talk, but the premise is, release him.”
“You won’t refuse this small favor, will you?”
As soon as he spoke, Hong Tian’s face turned completely somber.
Zhou Yu’s words were a clear indication of his stance.
But such straightforward words also frightened Yi Xiaoliang, his face turning pale.
Even if Zhou Yu is the Martial Pavilion Minister, he shouldn’t offend the Asia-East Alliance this much.
Surely, it’s because Zhou Yu is new here and isn’t aware of the Alliance’s power.
Realizing this, Yi Xiaoliang was about to step up and stop Zhou Yu right away.
However, Zhou Yu seed to have a sixth sense. As Yi Xiaoliang approached him and before he could speak, Zhou Yu blocked him.
At this mont, Yi Xiaoliang felt anxious and uneasy inside.
It was then Hong Tian spoke again.
“Being the Martial Pavilion Minister, the Asia-East Alliance naturally gives you so face.”
“Yet, giving face ans losing our face.”
“If the gentleman doesn’t pay so price, it would be difficult for to report back. It’s hard to say what might happen then.”
Hong Tian’s eyes were cold.
The threat was no longer concealed in his words.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.
“You talk too much nonsense.”
“Whether you can report back isn’t my concern. I’ve already given you enough face.”
“Since you’re unwilling to listen to nice words, I won’t be polite.”
“You have ten seconds to leave, otherwise I don’t mind dealing with you now.”
“Fighting in public has already violated the Martial Pavilion’s prohibition, so even if I kill you, it’s justified.”
Zhou Yu’s words showed no rcy, his eyes glinted coldly, filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this scene, the heart of Yi Xiaoliang behind Zhou Yu almost jumped out.
Zhou Yu dared to threaten Hong Tian like this; if Hong Tian got furious, he couldn’t even imagine the consequences.
At this ti, Hong Tian was staring gloomily at Zhou Yu, while Zhou Yu lightly gazed at him.
For a mont, the atmosphere beca extrely oppressive.
This terrifying tension lasted for about five seconds.
These five seconds felt like an hour to Yi Xiaoliang.
After five seconds, Hong Tian took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal instantly.
He looked at Zhou Yu and said:
“Mr. Zhou, you are quite impressive and courageous.”
“I hope you can smoothly stand firm in the Martial Pavilion, be careful not to encounter any accidents.”
After speaking, Hong Tian showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, then waved his hand, leading his subordinates, turned, and walked into the alley, disappearing into the darkness.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xiaoliang fell ‘thump’ directly to the ground, and began to pant heavily.
“…”
Zhou Yu observed this, feeling speechless.
This guy was so arrogant when he was in Qin State, how could he be so scared now…
Just then, a painful wail sounded from nearby.
Yi Xiaoliang imdiately snapped back to reality, changed his expression, quickly got up, and rushed over.
“Uncle Dong!!! “
