Am I very strong?\" Xiao Huan looked at me triumphantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, you are indeed strong. I admit it!\" I panted, gasping for air. Although I was somewhat unwilling to accept it, I had to admit that Xiao Huan was terrifyingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then can I follow you now?\" Xiao Huan jumped up happily and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not even with that. Your grandfather asked me to take good care of you, not to have you help me fight!\" I was still worried. Although Xiao Huan was very strong, she was, after all, too inexperienced in the world. If the other side used some underhanded schemes, Xiao Huan wouldn't know at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care, I don't care! Brother Yang Yun clearly promised me just now. Brother Yang Yun doesn't keep his word, you big liar!\" Xiao Huan was so angry she started crying and shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have been most afraid of girls crying my whole life. Seeing this, I hurriedly tried to persuade her: \"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll promise you, okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my words, Xiao Huan jumped up happily, hugged me, and said, \"Great! I knew Brother Yang Yun was the best to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked helplessly at Xiao Huan before me. I really had no way to deal with this girl. However, it might be good for her to follow me; it would allow her to experience more in this society and let her know how sinister the world outside is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I called Third Brother to tell him I was moving out. However, Third Brother wouldn't agree at all, saying he had everything there and it wasn't necessary. Seeing that I couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, I prepared to go over in person to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived at Third Brother's home, he hurriedly welcomed me and said, \"Fourth Brother, if you move out, you're simply not giving your Third Brother face. Third Brother is making so much money now, I don't mind you living with me at all. Besides, when I first arrived in S City, it was you who took me in; otherwise, how would I have achieved what I have today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Brother, it's not that. It's mainly that I really can't get used to living here. The house is too big; I've never lived in such a big house before, so I'm not quite adapted to it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that matter? You'll get used to it after a while!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it's mainly that Xiao Huan doesn't want to live here. She feels there are too many strangers here and is quite scared, so I'm sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I simply shifted the blame onto the child; after all, Third Brother couldn't fall out with me because of a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother poked his head out to look at Xiao Huan behind me and said with a smile, \"Xiao Huan, look, it's so nice here, such a big house, and there are so many people to play with you. Isn't it great to live here? Besides, your Brother Yang Yun and your Brother Hongzhi will both keep you company, don't be afraid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Huan shook her head in terror and hugged me, saying, \"No, I'm scared, I don't want to live here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Xiao Huan actually started to cry. Damn it, if I hadn't known Xiao Huan beforehand, I would have almost been fooled by this girl's acting. This person is simply a natural-born drama queen. They say children are mischievous and clever; it seems that saying is not false at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Huan crying uncontrollably, Third Brother couldn't continue to persuade her, so he hurriedly said to us, \"Alright, alright, don't cry. I'll agree to it. But if you need any help, you must contact me. I'll definitely help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, said a few polite words to Third Brother, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Third Brother's house, I discovered that at least two groups of people were tailing me. One group was definitely Third Brother's men, that was beyond doubt. As for who the other group was, I didn't know; it could be the Li family, or it could be someone else. In any case, it made me very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Huan naturally knew too. Her strength was far greater than mine, so she naturally could detect these two groups. Xiao Huan whispered to me, \"Brother Yang Yun, where are we going now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To pick a fight!\" After saying this, I hurriedly took Xiao Huan and walked faster, leading them into a dead-end alley, then immediately jumped away. It just so happened that the two groups discovered each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two groups looked at each other, both somewhat surprised. Clearly, they hadn't realized the existence of another group. By the time they came to their senses, I had already escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no choice but to return. Xu Hongzhi sat at home, and upon hearing the report from his subordinates, his face turned livid with rage: \"What did you say? You lost them? What are you all doing? What use do I have for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Brother Zhi. But we discovered that besides us, there was actually another group following them. The people in that group were unfamiliar faces; they didn't seem to be from the underworld!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Hongzhi was also exceptionally surprised and said, \"What? There was actually another group? Did you engage with that group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, we each discovered the other, no one made a move, and we all withdrew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongzhi thought carefully and then said, \"It seems that in this S City, there are still people who don't want Yang Yun to have an easy time. Could it be people from the Li family? Just based on the Li Hong incident with the Li family earlier, they wouldn't easily let Yang Yun go. This matter is getting more and more interesting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Hongzhi finished talking to himself, he ordered the people on the ground: \"You continue to follow Yang Yun. Report his whereabouts and daily movements to me. Try to be careful, don't let him discover you. Send some highly capable people. I've discovered that this guy's strength seems to be much stronger than before; I can't even see through him! I hope he doesn't come to ruin my plans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took Xiao Huan to Huang Laohu's bar from before. I felt that the specific details still had to be handled through Huang Laohu. Judging by Huang Laohu's reaction earlier, this guy definitely knew something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at Huang Laohu's bar again. Because of the noise and chaos here, those people didn't notice me. If it had been Huang Laohu's subordinates from before, they would have probably already gone to report by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, my goal was to have them report it, so I felt I should attract their attention. I took Xiao Huan to the bar counter. I discovered that this waiter wasn't the previous one and didn't recognize me. Helpless, I decided to make a big scene again and said directly to the waiter: \"Give me a crate of beer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the waiter brought the beer, I picked up a bottle and drank it in one gulp, then took the empty bottle and smashed it fiercely on the floor. With a bang, the people around me were stunned. But a moment later, they went back to doing whatever they were doing, completely ignoring me. In their eyes, I was probably just someone who came to drink and seek attention. They saw this kind of person often and didn't take it to heart at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1265,"2026-06-11T10:32:45.822Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1d6d57d7cc2b45605c8abd234aee6ca4d4c1e1dde94d14a1bd83bd93a46d7b4a","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-209","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-207",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
