Chapter 128 Hope City, How Can You Be So Arrogant? [1st Update, Map Change Was a Bit Laggy]
Zhang Zhao returned home.
Ai Xuan was sitting quietly in the living room, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
When she saw Zhang Zhao return, she immediately stood up.
“‘Your Majesty,’ you are back,” Ai Xuan said softly.
Zhang Zhao nodded slightly and walked to the sofa to sit down.
Ai Xuan sat down as well, and the two remained silent for a moment. The ticking of the clock seemed to remind them of the passage of time.
Zhang Zhao stared at the clock on the wall, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Saying goodbye to so many people all at once.
It was a wonderful experience.
He didn't know what the next world would be like; it was full of unknowns and challenges, but he was also full of anticipation.
Ai Xuan watched Zhang Zhao quietly, her heart also filled with unease.
But she knew that as long as she followed Zhang Zhao, she would not be afraid, no matter where she went.
"Ai Xuan, are you scared?" Zhang Zhao suddenly asked.
Ai Xuan was slightly taken aback, then said firmly, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid. As long as I can follow you, I am not afraid of anything."
Zhang Zhao smiled slightly; he knew of Ai Xuan's loyalty.
The two fell into silence again.
Zhang Zhao found some things to do.
Passing the time.
Waiting for the countdown to end.
As time goes by, the countdown gets closer and closer to zero.
Ai Xuan was unaware of the countdown.
She was just waiting with Zhang Zhao.
Finally, the countdown reached zero.
A mysterious light enveloped them, and Zhang Zhao and Ai Xuan felt their bodies lighten, as if they were being pulled by a powerful force.
But the brilliance was fleeting.
The power quickly vanished.
"Is this the end?"
Zhang Zhao looked around at the familiar scene.
It's still my home.
Take out the summoning device.
What was obtained in the world of Nava is still there at this time.
But the house still exists.
"It's a completely different feeling from the first time, but so this thing is the secret to being able to travel through time."
now.
The countdown to zero has completely disappeared.
The interface has returned to its original state.
The progress bar has simply refreshed again.
card……
Thunder Yatalis's card has finally returned to its golden state, meaning he can use it in this world.
He rummaged through the remaining cards.
Everything is normal.
Feel your Ox's power; it still exists.
The air here isn't any sweeter than it used to be.
Where could this be?
Zhang Zhao took out his phone; the signal was full. He turned on location services.
A name appeared prominently on the screen.
Hope City!
The most powerful conglomerate in the city is the BaWang Group.
Here?
Based on the information provided, Zhang Zhao quickly determined the world he had entered.
For some reason, he thought of what he had done when he got the Xingtian card, and the dream that followed that concerned the Dark Xingtian.
Is there any connection between these?
Or is it just a coincidence?
Also, isn't that the guy who owns the BaWang Group?
"In that case..."
Zhang Zhao decided to go a step further and began searching carefully online.
"The owner of BaWang Group."
"Armor Hero"
"Armor Hero Emperor Warrior..."
To Zhang Zhao's surprise, this time he successfully searched for some information.
Although there are.
But most of it is spread in the form of urban legends.
No one has publicly stated that Armor Heroes exists.
But judging from the toys on display for sale, they were exactly the same as the ones Zhang Zhao had bought before.
They look exactly the same.
And you still say you don't have real armor?
But no information could be found about City D, and the place wasn't even on the map.
"Is it independent again?"
It reminds me of toys.
He quickly returned to his room.
Check out the figurine display case.
He was surprised to find that the original location where the model was stored was now there.
Figurines of characters from the Nava world, such as Nava, Tonado, Tsmina, Krevo, and Yatalis, have mysteriously appeared there...
But the others are still nowhere to be found.
"Looks like this is still a toy-finding show?"
Zhang Zhao smiled.
"Let's go out for a stroll..."
After gaining a basic understanding of the situation, Zhang Zhao decided to go out.
He paused for a moment when he saw his uniform displayed at the door.
I didn't pay attention.
Just walked out.
Open the door.
The layout of this neighborhood is almost identical to his old home, as if he was always meant to be here.
Unlike last time when he was hit by a car right at the start, this time Zhang Zhao was unable to determine the exact timeline.
Looking at the calendar, he couldn't quite make it out either.
Although he had watched Xing Tian several times, he still couldn't remember these details.
I only remember that when the summoners appeared, they announced several periods of incubation.
But how can you possibly remember that?
-----------------
The outskirts of Hope City.
The young man wore an orange shirt and blue jeans, with sneakers on his feet. He wasn't tall, and was rather thin, yet he exuded a sense of determination. His hair was somewhat disheveled, gently blowing in the breeze, with a few strands falling loosely, almost obscuring his eyes.
His face was sharply defined, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a deep melancholy and confusion.
He stood quietly by the river, his hands in his pockets, head slightly bowed, gazing at the slowly flowing water.
Memories from the past kept resurfacing in his mind.
That was when he was very young.
He had been here with his parents before.
Then my parents died...
His memory of it was extremely vague.
All we know is that a monster has appeared.
The first wave of monsters attacked his parents.
But it was the parents who were sunk to the bottom of the water.
But it was another monster.
He couldn't remember what the monster looked like at all.
All I remember is that he could freeze people.
He felt some resentment!
I hate myself for having such a bad memory!
But I remember the events that happened shortly afterward so clearly.
An old lady wants to sign a contract with herself.
I signed it without even realizing it.
Then he lost the red camera that had brought him misfortune.
But ironically, my memory of this event is so vague.
"Can't you even remember your own enemies?"
Li Haotian shook his head.
I plan to leave this place.
After taking a few photos with the camera.
He then decided to leave.
-----------------
"This still seems to be the human world, and still in the modern era?"
Zhang Zhao and Ai Xuan walked on the streets of Hope City. The sunlight shone on them, but it could not dispel the curiosity and wariness in Ai Xuan's heart.
The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians hurrying by. Zhang Zhao walked along, observing his surroundings, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
Ai Xuan stayed close to him, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.
She originally thought that time travel would involve ancient times or another world or something.
But I didn't expect it to be a place that was almost exactly the same as the original one.
The shops along the street are full of a dazzling array of goods, and the neon lights on their signs are flashing with colorful lights.
Zhang Zhao would occasionally pause in front of shop windows, gazing at the displayed goods, trying to find clues about this world. Ai Xuan stood quietly behind him, her eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for Zhang Zhao's next move.
BaWang Group
Finally, in front of a tall building.
Zhang Zhao came to a complete stop.
Looking at this building.
Zhang Zhao carefully sensed what was inside, trying to determine if there was anything there.
However, this did not give him a strong energy fluctuation.
There's no reason why I don't want to be a strong person.
But it's also possible that Lufa's willpower is entirely contained within his clothes?
Hidden away.
This still cannot be used as a basis.
"Is there anything special about this building? Is it like the Tiantianhao Group building?"
Ai Xuan watched Zhang Zhao staring at the building.
I thought of the Tian Tian Hao Group, which had been damaged.
Is this a place similar to that one?
"I don't have the habit of tearing down other people's houses."
Zhang Zhao shook his head.
Ai Xuan's statement was refuted.
I wandered around outside casually.
When Zhang Zhao decided to leave the city and explore the outskirts, he found dilapidated ancient pagodas... He searched for Huanhuan Teppanyaki on a food delivery app, but found nothing.
"Is he afraid his business is too good?"
Aside from the BaWang Group, which is publicly known, there aren't many other places he can go.
He planned to find a secluded spot and fly out directly.
But right now.
"Make way...make way..."
Suddenly, a deafening roar of an engine filled the air. A red sports car sped down the road like a wild horse, causing other vehicles to swerve in panic.
The sports car sped toward Zhang Zhao and Ai Xuan without slowing down at all.
Zhang Zhao's eyes sharpened, and in that critical moment, he stepped forward without hesitation, using his body to block the sports car.
Are there really people this arrogant?
But with Zhang Zhao's amazing eyesight...
He recognized the person at a glance.
Xu Tingfei.
The rich kid in the sports car was stunned. He frantically slammed on the brakes, but due to the high speed, the car continued to rush forward due to inertia.
Zhang Zhao stood firmly, without any attempt to hide.
With a sharp screech of brakes, the sports car came to a stop just centimeters from Zhang Zhao.
The rich second-generation got out of the car, still shaken. He was dressed in fashionable designer clothes, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were full of fear and anger.
"Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?!" Xu Tingfei shouted at Zhang Zhao.
He showed no remorse whatsoever.
Instead, they were blaming Zhang Zhao for obstructing him.
Zhang Zhao remained silent.
She just watched him quietly.
He was thinking, "This arrogant and domineering Xu Tingfei, it seems he hasn't obtained the Flying Shadow Armor yet? Or was it just now...? His mentality is a bit too bad, isn't it?"
Although he didn't recall ever hitting anyone, there were quite a few pedestrians there, and the risk of speeding was indeed quite high. He couldn't gamble that he wouldn't hurt anyone.
Passersby gasped in shock at the sight.
When Xu Tingfei got out of the sports car and berated Zhang Zhao.
Whispers began to ripple through the crowd.
Someone recognized his identity.
"Isn't this Xu Tingfei, the young master of the Xu Shipping Group? This guy is too bold to stop his car."
A passerby said in a low voice.
"Yes, I heard that the Xu family has a lot of influence in Hope City. This young man is in trouble."
echoed another.
"But Xu Tingfei went too far. Speeding like that in the city is so dangerous."
Some people also spoke out in defense of Zhang Zhao.
While everyone admired Zhang Zhao's courage, they were also worried for him, fearing that he would face retaliation from Xu Tingfei.
When Ai Xuan saw that Xu Tingfei not only did not apologize but also blamed Zhang Zhao, he was furious.
She stepped forward, glaring at Xu Tingfei, and shouted, "You still think you're right? Speeding in the city and almost hitting someone, don't you feel ashamed? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich and powerful?"
A faint murderous aura emanated from her.
We absolutely have to find a place to teach this guy a lesson.
Xu Tingfei was startled by Ai Xuan's imposing manner, but quickly regained his arrogant demeanor.
Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?
Ai Xuan was not afraid at all. "You did something wrong and you won't admit it. You don't deserve to be a human being."
You're not even as good as Oukser!
Most of the Oxens I know are better than you!
"Why should you admit it? You were the ones blocking the way! He deserved to be run over!"
Ai Xuan thought to himself, "You didn't crash into it. If you had, you and your car would have been destroyed. This broken metal box? If 'Wang' even let out a little bit of his aura, you would be finished."
"People like you should be punished. You don't care about other people's lives at all."
Xu Tingfei, however, remained nonchalant, a slight sneer playing on his lips.
"Hmph, what can you do to me? I have plenty of money and connections. So what if I speed?" His words were full of arrogance and domineering, as if the whole world revolved around him.
Passersby watched them argue, shaking their heads and sighing.
Xu Tingfei's arrogance aroused strong resentment among passersby.
They broke their silence.
An elderly man with gray hair frowned and said, "These young people nowadays are really outrageous. Racing in the city, how dangerous is that?"
A young woman standing nearby chimed in, "Exactly! What if they hit someone? That's so irresponsible."
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing, call the police and let them handle this."
Others echoed, "Yes, call the police! We can't let him continue to act so arrogantly." "This dangerous behavior must be punished."
When Xu Tingfei heard the passerby say he was going to call the police, he showed a disdainful expression.
He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said, "Call the police? What do you think the police can do to me? My family has plenty of ways to handle things."
His tone was full of confidence, as if the police were no match for him.
Racing?
How many times have I done this?
Has anyone messed with me?
Can those rules really control someone like me?
But his smugness vanished the next second.
He rushed forward in one stride, his movements swift and decisive.
He swiftly made his move, using a standard fighting grappling technique to subdue Xu Tingfei to the ground in an instant.
Xu Tingfei was completely unprepared for Zhang Zhao's actions. He struggled to resist, but found himself unable to move under Zhang Zhao's control.
This person is incredibly strong!
Like the mountains
His head was pressed against the hood of the sports car.
The proud head lost its previous luster.
Zhang Zhao expressionlessly pulled out his police ID from his pocket and displayed it to everyone.
The words "Hope City Police Department" on the badge were bright and eye-catching.
"I'm a police officer!"
The surrounding crowd was stunned at first, but then cheered.
"Well done! The police officers should teach this kind of person a lesson." An elderly woman said excitedly.
Whether in Nambo or here, Zhang Zhao's police ID was always in his pocket.
It's just that the name changed automatically.
