Chapter 258: Zhu Guo Ren: Hmm? There's another expert?

At this moment, Huo Che Tou, Shen Hai, and the rest were all dumbfounded.

They watched as Zhao Zheng casually spun around in Zhu Guo Ren's designated chair, their eyes filled with disbelief.

That was Zhu Guo Ren's exclusive seat!

Moreover, Zhu Guo Ren hated it when others sat in his spot. As colleagues of Zhu Guo Ren, Huo Che Tou and the others were well aware of his true nature.

The world's most famous super hero? Kind and benevolent? Detesting evil? An embodiment of justice?

No!

That was merely the false persona crafted for Zhu Guo Ren by the Waut Company.

Zhu Guo Ren's true face was one of capriciousness, selfishness, a twisted mind, and a suspicious nature, all while disregarding life.

Indeed, under the arrangements of the Waut Company, Zhu Guo Ren had saved numerous people.

However, in private, the number of innocent lives that perished at Zhu Guo Ren's hands was not insignificant...

Throughout the Waut Company, those who knew Zhu Guo Ren's true nature feared him.

Even the company's president had to appease and cater to Zhu Guo Ren.

As for Huo Che Tou, Shen Hai, and the others... Although they were members of the Qi Ren Zu, they held no status or dignity in front of Zhu Guo Ren.

Zhu Guo Ren could manipulate them however he pleased.

Resist?

Don't be ridiculous.

Zhu Guo Ren was like a god, possessing terrifying destructive power akin to a nuclear bomb.

Who would dare to defy him? Who could even challenge him?

...

Thus, when Huo Che Tou and the others witnessed Zhao Zheng's reckless behavior, they were utterly shocked.

Truly, after working with Zhu Guo Ren for so long, this was the first time they had seen someone so brazen and reckless.

After the initial shock, they couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Having endured Zhu Guo Ren's oppression for so long, their hearts were filled with resentment, but they dared not show it.

Now, seeing someone provoke Zhu Guo Ren, even if it only caused him minor embarrassment, they felt a twisted sense of joy.

Among the crowd, only Mei Fu Wang Hou looked at Zhao Zheng with a hint of sympathy.

Although Mei Fu Wang Hou had also been forced to collaborate with the Qi Ren Zu, it was out of desperation. Her heart still held kindness.

In Mei Fu Wang Hou's eyes, without a miracle, this young man, who didn't know his place, was as good as dead.

No one could provoke Zhu Guo Ren and survive.

"Why are you all silent?"

Seeing everyone in a daze, Zhao Zheng spoke again, "From now on, I'll be sitting here. You all have no objections, right?"

The crowd turned their gaze towards Zhu Guo Ren.

At this moment, even Huo Che Tou and the others didn't dare to plead for Zhao Zheng.

Of course, they weren't the type to beg for mercy either.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, Zhu Guo Ren burst into laughter.

Pointing at Zhao Zheng in the chair, he said to everyone, "Look at this clown, how adorable."

Huo Che Tou and the others quickly followed with forced laughter.

Subsequently, Zhu Guo Ren approached Zhao Zheng and said, "Young man, I must say, your foolishness successfully amused me."

Although Zhu Guo Ren wore a smile, his eyes held a strong murderous intent.

"Now, you can get up. This seat is not for someone as naive as you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Che Tou and the others immediately held their breath, afraid to even breathe.

They knew that at this moment, Zhu Guo Ren had reached the peak of his anger.

Only Zhao Zheng remained calm.

"Is that so?"

"What if I insist on sitting here?"

Instead of getting up, Zhao Zheng leaned back and crossed his legs, placing his feet on the conference table.

This scene startled Huo Che Tou and the others, causing them to unconsciously take a step back.

They had seen recklessness, but never to this extent.

Chapter: The Hard Nut

They feared that once the Guojia Ren's anger erupted, not only would this foolish boy face his wrath, but it might also extend to them.

After all, sometimes seeing what one shouldn't see is also a mistake.

"Wow! This is so interesting!"

Guojia Ren, in awe, walked behind Zhao Zheng and placed his hands on Zhao's shoulders, leaning closer to his ear.

"Boy! I'm not someone you can challenge."

As the words fell...

Guojia Ren's hands suddenly exerted force.

"Zizi..."

A tense, creaking sound resonated.

Even the chair beneath Zhao Zheng seemed to freeze, as if held in place by an immense force.

Upon seeing this, Huoche Tou and the others' hearts rose to their throats.

They were all too aware of the sheer terror of Guojia Ren's strength.

Even steel, in Guojia Ren's hands, could be molded like clay, effortlessly deformed.

However, the expected gory scene did not unfold.

Guojia Ren's teeth almost shattered, but Zhao Zheng's shoulders remained unscathed.

Moreover, others noticed that Zhao's face still carried a faint smile.

"A Zu, what are you doing?" Zhao Zheng spoke up, "If you're giving me a massage, could you please put in a bit more effort?"

The crowd was shocked!!

Wow!

What's the background of this kid?

Was his body forged from steel?

Even Guojia Ren's strength seemed ineffective against him?

No wonder he was so arrogant; he indeed had the skills!

At this moment, Guojia Ren's expression turned grim upon hearing Zhao Zheng's words.

He finally realized he had encountered a tough nut.

Guojia Ren released his grip, his eyes fixed on Zhao Zheng.

"Who are you?"

His face grew solemn.

Zhao Zheng turned his head, smiling slightly, "My name is Zhao Zheng, an ordinary superpower holder. I came here to earn a spot in the Qi Ren Zu."

Upon hearing this, Guojia Ren paused in thought, then flashed his signature radiant smile.

"So that's it..."

"Zhao... May I call you that? You've just proven your strength, and you indeed have the qualifications to be a member of the Qi Ren Zu."

He pretended to ponder, then said, "...Alright! I should support the dreams of the youth. Coincidentally, our Qi Ren Zu is short-handed. So, I'll take charge and approve your membership in the Qi Ren Zu."

"Zhao, leave your contact information, and go prepare yourself!"

After saying this, Guojia Ren's face still carried a smile.

In the subsequent plot, the former Qi Ren Zu leader, "Soldier Boy," was rescued by the protagonist group.

Upon receiving the news, Guojia Ren, to eliminate potential threats, personally sought out Soldier Boy, intending to eliminate him.

However, the outcome was a brutal beating at the hands of Soldier Boy and Billey.

If not for Guojia Ren's ability to fly, he might have lost his life there.

After escaping, Guojia Ren lived in constant fear, haunted by anxiety day and night.

He feared Soldier Boy would come after him, feared for his life, and feared losing everything.

This revealed a side of Guojia Ren's character—a tendency to bully the weak but fear the strong.

When he realized Zhao Zheng was a tough nut, he agreed so readily to avoid direct conflict.

Although Guojia Ren had agreed...

Zhao Zheng, however, was not satisfied.

"A Zu, I think you might not have understood my intention."

"The spot I need is not just for me, but for five of us!"

As these words left his mouth, the conference room's attendees' faces changed in unison.
