The bodyguard screamed as his head split open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xu Hongzhi beat the screaming bodyguard, while I launched an attack on the other one. He had been distracted by the situation with Xu Hongzhi, so he wasn't paying attention and was knocked to the ground by me. I stomped on his head repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a thing happening inside the bar, others naturally noticed. Before long, five or six big men arrived. I recognized the leader—a thug under Zhang Longtao named Chen Kai. Chen Kai arrived, saw the two bodyguards lying on the ground, his face darkened, and he looked at me coldly: \"Yang Yun, are you here to smash the place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see Zhang Longtao!\" At this moment, I had no respect or awe for Zhang Longtao, shouting his full name directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Brother Tao someone a loser like you can see? You dare to start trouble here today; I think you’re tired of living. Get him!\" Chen Kai signaled to the five or six subordinates around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five or six big men rushed over. Seeing this, I leaned against Xu Hongzhi’s back and whispered: \"Watch the situation, look for a chance to run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't an idiot. After all, this was their territory, and they had more people. I didn't think we could kill them all like gods descending from heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother nodded, and we both jumped down the stairs, intending to run out of the bar. Seeing this, Chen Kai got anxious and shouted: \"Stop them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rushed to the bottom of the bar, grabbed a wine bottle from a table, and swung it behind me. Only two people were chasing me, so it was relatively easy to escape. Just as I was about to run out of the bar, I discovered that Third Brother had been intercepted. Three or four people were surrounding and beating him. Seeing this, how could I leave? I rushed over, grabbed a chair from the side, smashed it into one of them, and swung the chair wildly at the people around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people were pushed back by me. I grabbed Third Brother’s hand, pulled him up, and with my other hand, threw the chair at them, dragging Third Brother and running frantically out of the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We ran for a long time and finally reached an alley. Looking behind us, we found they hadn't followed. Only then did we sit on the ground, gasping for air. I looked at the bruised Third Brother and asked with concern: \"How is it? Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I won't die! Damn it, they just rely on having more people. Fuck, 1-on-1, I’d kill them!\" Third Brother cursed angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took out a cigarette and handed one to Third Brother, and we sat on the side of the road, smoking. Third Brother flicked the ash and asked: \"What are you going to do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought about it. Given the situation, my chances of seeing Zhang Longtao were very slim. The other side had strength in numbers, and he wasn't at the bar every day, so there was basically no opportunity. I let out a long sigh and shook my head: \"I don't know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s plan carefully. Zhang Longtao is not someone to be trifled with. Even if we want revenge, we have to wait until we become stronger!\" Third Brother stood up and comforted me, patting my shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lowered my head powerlessly. Third Brother was right, but I wasn't reconciled. I was extremely unwilling, my heart in complete chaos. I shook my head in agony, then stood up and said to Third Brother: \"I want to go for a walk alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother didn't say anything. I walked on the street like a headless fly. Suddenly, I stopped at a certain place. This was the path Zhang Yinuo took home from school every day. Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat there waiting until school let out. Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Yinuo appeared. She was alone. I hid to the side, then watched, grabbed her hand, and pulled her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Zhang Yinuo was startled by the action and wanted to struggle, but after seeing it was me, she stopped and looked at me with a confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Zhang Yinuo with a fierce gaze: \"Don't talk, come with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Zhang Yinuo had seen me like this. She didn't speak, letting me hold her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I brought her to my place, pushed her fiercely against the wall, and said coldly: \"Tell me, where is your brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yinuo was pushed against the wall: \"You’re hurting me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m asking you a question, damn it! Where is your brother?\" I looked at Zhang Yinuo with a ferocious expression, like a crazed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know!\" Zhang Yinuo said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have the patience to listen to this. I’m asking you, where is your brother!\" I roared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I didn't believe Zhang Yinuo didn't know where Zhang Longtao was. She was his sister; how could she not know his whereabouts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Yun, what’s wrong with you? Why have you become like this? And why haven't you come to school these past few days?\" Zhang Yinuo looked at me in confusion, not frightened by my previous appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still have the face to ask? What are you pretending for? Why am I like this? This is all thanks to your brother! The woman I loved most is dead, dead! Do you know that? She died at your brother’s hands!\" I shouted at Zhang Yinuo in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I don't really know much about Zhang Longtao’s affairs. If it really was my brother who did it, I will go back and persuade him to turn himself in!\" Zhang Yinuo’s expression was apologetic. She had heard rumors at school a few days ago about someone dying at the bar, but she hadn't expected that person to be my girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re still pretending? How long are you going to keep pretending?\" I was so angry that I grabbed Zhang Yinuo and threw her onto my bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me so crazy, Zhang Yinuo was startled, subconsciously retreating a few steps on the bed, then said: \"I really don't know what you’re talking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, you don't know, right? Good, then I’ll tell you. That day you asked me out to eat, you didn't say anything, you didn't look like anything was wrong. You were clearly trying to stall me to create an opportunity for your brother, right? Then Su Xueyan died. How could there be such a coincidence? And you still say you don't know. I thought you were a kind woman, but I didn't expect you to be so venomous. It was you and your brother who killed the woman I loved most. You are both bastards, you deserve to die!\" I frantically pressed her struggling arms down on the bed and cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yinuo had tears in her eyes, but she didn't cry, nor did she beg for mercy. Instead, she opened her big, watery eyes and looked at me through her tears: \"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this, but I really didn't help Zhang Longtao. Believe me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0532c0165931aa618a54e768071fbcfcfbcdfff08d6d7494a1c848a5fc13964f","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-26","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-24",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
