In less than ten minutes, the room that originally only had Xie Ming was now filled with four more people, three men and one woman.
The four found places to sit. One of them asked in confusion, "Big brother, what is it? You sounded so urgent on the phone, making us drop everything and come here immediately?"
"Yeah, big brother, when you called me, I was just about to eat. I’m still starving right now."
"Fatty, all you know is eating!"
Each of them spoke one after another.
"What do you mean all I know is eating? Don’t talk nonsense."
The slightly chubby man retorted with a look of defiance, "You all know my superpower. The more I eat, the stronger I get. So, how can I get stronger without eating?"
"..."
Everyone looked at each other with complex expressions after hearing this.
Indeed, among them, this chubby guy was one of the strongest. The key is, his superpower was just too enviable.
As long as he eats, he can get stronger. The process of eating was also the process of continually enhancing his superpower. The better the food, the faster his strength increases. It was simply defying the heavens.
"Alright, I’ll have someone bring some food in right now."
As Xie Ming spoke, he took out his phone and talked for a while.
Soon, someone wheeled in a cart full of food and drinks. The sight of it made even the others swallow their saliva.
"Let’s eat and talk at the same time."
Xie Ming said with a smile.
"Alright, big brother, since you said so, I won’t hold back."
The chubby guy lunged at the food as if he hadn’t eaten for days.
The others looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh and shake their heads.
Xie Ming sat down on a sofa, looked at the people in front of him, and sighed, "Of the people who left Anshan City back then, only a few of us are left now."
Everyone’s actions stopped as soon as Xie Ming’s words fell.
Even the chubby guy, who was happily eating a roast lamb leg, stopped and looked at Xie Ming dumbfoundedly, "Big, big brother, why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"Yes, big brother, it’s been almost three years now, hasn’t it?"
"Almost three years."
Everyone fell silent once again.
This was a past they did not want to recall.
Three years ago, they lost everything, became like stray dogs, and were driven out of Anshan City. During that journey, many of their relatives and friends died.
Even later, when they found a place to settle, they lost many more people in conflicts with other forces.
Back then, they were over ten D-level Awakened, but now, only a few of them remained.
"Someone just called me. Do you know who it was?"
"Who?"
"Who?"
"Yan Hao." Xie Ming uttered two words.
"Yan Hao?"
"Yan Hao? That Yan Ming’s brother?"
"No wonder, no wonder the name sounded familiar to me. Big brother, why did that guy call you? We’ve already been driven out, and they still won’t let us go?"
"Let’s fight them!"
"Calm down, everyone, listen to me."
Xie Ming waved his hand, his only remaining right eye sweeping across the crowd, "From his words, I learned something incredible. Yan Ming is dead."
"!!!"
The room fell silent in an instant.
Everyone looked at each other with disbelief.
"Big, big brother, what did you say? Yan Ming is dead?"
"Yes."
Xie Ming turned around, brought the computer over, and placed it in front of everyone, "At first, I didn’t believe it either, thinking it might be a trap set by Yan Hao. Until I saw this..."
Everyone instinctively looked at the computer screen.
The moment they saw it, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Yan Ming is really dead?"
"He’s really dead?"
"Died at the hands of a Martial Artist?"
"Is it true?"
Everyone spoke one after another, desperately hoping it was true but also afraid it was just an empty joy.
Nobody knew Yan Ming’s strength better than they did.
A few years back, when they were still D-level Awakened, Yan Ming had already become a C-level Awakened.
Now, out of the five of them, three were C-level Awakened, yet they still didn’t dare to go to Anshan City to trouble Yan Ming.
How could such a formidable guy die so unceremoniously?
"No need to doubt its authenticity," Xie Ming said, "This is information from the main association. You can take out your phones and check yourself."
"Let me see."
"I’ll check too."
Everyone immediately took out their phones, and soon, the sound of gasps filled the room.
Yan Ming was really dead!
