#481 - Chapter 481 No Way Out
“The Night King's son was killed by the War College, that's why he hates the War College so much!”
Zhou Li explained to her husband.
“And because the Night King hates the War College so much, he chose you and me to be the bait this time!”
However, Zhou Li was quickly disappointed to see that her husband, who was good for nothing except being handsome, was so scared upon hearing the word 'bait' that he collapsed to the ground.
Judging by his appearance, he was terrified.
Seeing her husband acting like this, Zhou Li was furious and slapped him a few times!
Slap, slap, slap!
“Wake up, Zhang Yang!”
At this moment, Zhou Li no longer had her previous gentle and charming appearance, but instead looked like a ferocious woman.
“You damn bastard.”
Zhou Li grabbed Zhang Yang's collar and said fiercely.
“Zhang Yang!”
“Stop acting like a coward in front of me!”
“I'll tell you the truth.”
“From the beginning, I hid this from you because I was worried you couldn't handle the news.”
“Do you know why?”
“Because you damn fool, ever since I met you, you haven't shown any signs of being capable of handling important tasks!”
“I don't care if you're scared or desperate.”
“You better buck up and get your act together!”
After receiving a few slaps, Zhang Yang recovered from his initial shock.
However, Zhou Li still looked fierce.
“I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not allow you to ruin the greatest opportunity I can get in this lifetime!”
When she said the word 'opportunity,' Zhou Li couldn't help but swallow, unable to hide her greedy look.
However, what Zhou Li said was actually correct.
Because in a sense, Zhou Li being appreciated by the Night King and becoming a traitorous lord was indeed the greatest opportunity she could get in this lifetime.
In the Human Empire, Zhou Li and Zhang Yang, and even their guild, were not the top tier.
In fact, they weren't even considered upper-middle class, but rather middle-to-lower class among the endless lords.
Without any family support or alliance support, even forming their own guild was very difficult.
Moreover, this helplessness of the lower-middle class was not only reflected in Zhou Li and Zhang Yang.
The other six members of their guild were also genuine lower-middle class members of the Human Empire.
Without family background or resource accumulation, they were essentially the same as Zhou Li and Zhang Yang, the lowest tier among the lord groups.
“In fact, if I hadn't chosen to join the Night King in the first place.”
“Then we wouldn't even have the good life we have now!”
“We might have even been completely wiped out by other covetous guilds a few months ago!”
“But with the support of the Night King, not only do we have billions of resource points every month.”
“Our warriors have also been improved by the Night King.”
“In addition, you and I have also obtained two bountiful planes bestowed by the Night King.”
“Doesn't all of this deserve you and me, and our guild members, to risk our lives for?”
“As long as you and I can complete the Night King's mission, you and I will have an incredibly bright future!”
“I...”
“I understand!”
Zhang Yang completely recovered.
At this time, he also got rid of his previous state of fear.
Because he knew very well that what his wife said was right.
If he hadn't joined the Night King, then he and Zhou Li would likely have been killed by other lords a few months ago.
In a sense, they were earning a day for every day they lived.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's eyes also changed.
But unfortunately, just as Zhang Yang was about to express his determination in front of his wife, a human lord belonging to Zhang Yang and Zhou Li's guild suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.
“Huff... Huff...”
“Zhou Li, Zhang Yang!”
This human lord stood panting in front of the two.
“The Empire!”
“The Empire's punitive legion has arrived!”
“Moreover, the ones who came to punish us this time are the War College!”
Hearing the words 'War College,' Zhang Yang suddenly felt his vision darken.
The courage he had finally mustered disappeared completely.
As for Zhou Li, she snorted coldly.
“I know!”
“Good!”
“I've been waiting impatiently!”
“Let these damn Empire bastards taste the terror from the Night King in our territory!”
After speaking, Zhou Li and the human lord pushed the door and left together, leaving only Zhang Yang, who was still in shock.
“....”
Left in place, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and still followed Zhou Li and the others!
Because he also understood that at this time, he had no so-called retreat.
