"Alright, let’s let them go this time."
After Third Brother Zhao finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Tiangong and the others.
"Huh?"
"Sigh, what a pity."
The others showed expressions of reluctance and helplessness.
Wei Tiangong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If a fight really broke out, would they still help Chen Guodong and his people? Doing so would undoubtedly offend everyone in the Zhao Family Castle. If their family members in the fortress wanted to come out safely, it would be difficult.
"As expected."
Third Brother Zhao’s lips curled into a cold smile.
It made sense now why Wei Tianyuan reacted so strongly earlier. It seems likely that these people are from the Chen Family Stronghold.
Despite having many people on their side, if it came to a real fight, the situation might quickly get out of hand.
Even if they weren’t from the Chen Family Stronghold, expecting them to help with something like this was unrealistic.
Third Brother Zhao’s eyes turned cold.
If that’s the case, what use are they? Body Tempering First Layer? There weren’t many in the fortress, but there were some. Still, it would be a waste to kill them. Alright, once we return, let them do hard labor like the rest.
The truck drove away without incident.
Chen Fan’s tensed spirit slowly relaxed.
He caught bits and pieces of the conversation in the opposing truck. These Zhao Family Castle people didn’t seem to be good people either.
Uncle Wei, they had helped them once again.
Watching the Zhao Family Castle group disappear from view, everyone showed expressions of envy.
If they had a truck too, how great would that be? They wouldn’t have to struggle so much. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a fierce beast, they wouldn’t even be able to run.
At that moment, Chen Fan spoke up, "Dad, did you see Uncle Wei and them?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"I saw them."
Chen Guodong turned back, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Not just him, Liu Yong and the others felt downcast as well.
"Dad, I think it’s time to bring Uncle Wei and the others back," Chen Fan said seriously.
The stronghold was flourishing now. As the greatest contributors in the past, Uncle Wei and the rest weren’t here, and that didn’t seem right.
Unexpectedly, no one immediately agreed. The atmosphere was strangely silent.
"Xiaofan."
At that moment, Liu Yong said bitterly, "We also want Uncle Wei and the others to return, but it’s not that simple."
"Yeah," Gao Yang sighed, "It’s easy to get into Zhao Family Castle, but leaving is much harder. In the past few years, many who wanted to leave ended up dead inside. The few who escaped didn’t live long."
"What?"
Chen Fan’s eyes widened.
"So, if you agree to join Zhao Family Castle, you can’t change your mind, or you’ll only meet death?"
"Pretty much."
Liu Yong nodded.
"I know some things about Zhao Family Castle too," Gu Jianghai said after a deep breath, "Don’t be fooled by its bright appearance. It’s rotten inside. The three Zhao brothers abuse their power in the fortress, bullying and exploiting everyone.
Anyone who dares to resist meets only one end: death. Even martial artists who offend them won’t have good days."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
