Tang Yong’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He had heard about the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association.
It was said that the chairman was very powerful and had once single-handedly killed several B-level Awakened from Jiulong City in the association’s hall.
Of course, this was just a rumor. He wasn’t sure if it was true and had no desire to verify it.
Anyway, the fact that the chairman allowed them entry into Anshan City was indeed a good thing for them. They were just here to lay low until the storm passed and then leave, so they didn’t think they’d have to deal with Chairman Li.
But he never expected that the chairman would appear in front of them right now and seemed to be targeting them.
The others beside him also sensed that something was wrong.
Someone tentatively asked, "Who are you?"
"Li Ping."
Chen Fan continued, "Chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association."
"Li Ping? Chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association!"
Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes showed extreme shock.
"Are you that Chairman Li?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet, and time seemed to stop.
The onlookers also stood there in shock, their eyes fixed on the figure in the center.
Was this really Chairman Li?
The Chairman Li who had let them stay without asking for anything in return?
Many people felt their faces burning with embarrassment.
Earlier, they had been complaining in their hearts that this Chairman only bullied a weak woman and kicked her out of the city in the middle of the night.
But now, they felt differently.
The person that Chairman Li expelled couldn’t be a good person, right?
Maybe she was a cultist!
Instantly, the crowd looked at Wang Lingling with suspicion instead of pity.
Wang Lingling bit her lip.
Her plan to manipulate public opinion had failed. It seemed tonight she would have to find a small village to stay in.
However, those few people seemed to be hiding their strength just like her.
She decided to wait and see what happened next.
Chen Fan’s gaze fell on Tang Yong, and he asked, "Your strength isn’t at the Meridian Refining Realm, is it? Neither are the others beside you at the Ming Jin or Transforming Force levels, right?"
As his words fell, Tang Yong and his companions’ faces changed again.
However, they also felt a sense of relief.
They had thought their identities had been exposed, prompting this powerful figure to show up personally.
If that were the case, whether they could survive today would be in question.
"Why would Chairman Li say that?"
Tang Yong quickly regained his composure and smiled, "I am indeed at the Meridian Refining Realm, Mid Stage. My brothers here are all at the Entry Force Realm."
"Yes, yes, Chairman Li, our big brother is right. We’re all at Entry Force Realm, my strength is just a bit better, at the Transforming Force level."
"I’m at Dark Power."
"Me too, Dark Power."
"And I’m at Ming Jin."
The other four quickly chimed in with fawning expressions on their faces.
Unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t want any conflict with this man before them.
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan looked disappointed, "I gave you a chance, but like her, you don’t treasure it."
Tang Yong and his group exchanged looks with Wang Lingling, who appeared innocent.
"You all, along with her, must leave Anshan City now."
Tang Yong and his group looked at each other.
A moment ago, they were mere bystanders.
The next, they became the subjects of the matter?
"Chairman Li, this is a bit unreasonable, isn’t it?"
Tang Yong smiled uncomfortably.
"Oh?"
Chen Fan didn’t get angry, merely asked, "How so?"
"Everyone here came because of your grand reputation, including my brothers and me. But,"
Tang Yong sighed, "It seems Chairman Li isn’t as benevolent as the rumors say."
"Big brother is right."
One of his companions immediately agreed, "Chairman Li, as the owner of Anshan City, if you want to chase us out, we have nothing to say. However, it’s unreasonable to do it in the middle of the night."
"Yeah, there are fierce beasts outside the city. Once we go out, we might be surrounded and killed by them."
"Chairman Li, we’ll leave first thing in the morning, okay?"
Their tone had lost the respect it held earlier.
At this point, they didn’t hold any hope of staying the next few days.
But going out at night, even the big brother at the True Essence Realm was at risk of getting hurt or killed.
