Chapter 1150: Four Toasts, Fondly Remembering Old Friends!

……

Lower City District.

Fengxu Grand Hotel.

"Come, come, come, the dishes are up!"

Cai Xu hurriedly carried the dishes and placed them on the table, then immediately pinched his Earlobe to cool down.

"Wow, so lavish?!"

Zhuang Wu looked at the large table of colorful, fragrant, tasty dishes and immediately began to salivate.

Unable to resist, his index Finger twitched.

Having just fought all day, he was both exhausted and starving to death.

Now, with his chest pressed to his back, he could easily gnaw through a whole cow.

"This hotel was opened by my cousin, and fortunately it hasn't been struck by a Monster."

"Most of the ingredients are fresh, big fellow, eat to your heart's content, this meal is on me!"

Cai Xu spoke generously, patting his Chest and said.

Lin Yang gave him a glance, Laughing gently said, "Then we won't be polite any longer."

"First, let me ask, is your wallet thick enough?"

"Everyone sitting here are big eaters, they won't easily get off the table."

"When the time comes, don't have leftover food, and your wallet will be empty."

Cai Xu heard this with an indifferent expression, waved his hand and said, "Cai has no other skills, but I always keep my word."

"Since we're treating, then treat to the end!"

"Brother Lin Yang, don't worry about the money; if it really doesn't work, I'll owe it first."

"Anyway, it's my own cousin!"

Su Yang picked up his chopsticks and hesitated.

Mainly, these days he's been eating only vegetable salads and whole‑wheat bread and the like.

Mouth was just about to let a bird out.

Facing so many delicious dishes, his eyes didn't know where to start for a moment.

"Let's dig in, big fellow, celebrating the side of justice that won!" Cai Xu said loudly.

"Start eating!"

Zhuang Wu and Wang Defa instantly became 'starving ghosts', tearing through the food like a whirlwind, eating at fire‑speed.

Lin Yang and Zhang Tiancheng also refused to be outdone, quickly joining the scramble.

Afraid that a second's delay would mean missing out on a big crab.

Sight this speed, Cai Xu was instantly dumbfounded.

His hand holding the chopsticks didn't know whether to move or not.

"Hmm, the needle doesn't tangle, the spiciness is just right, the aroma is rich." Zhuang Wu had an octopus tentacle stuffed in his mouth.

Then, with a puzzled expression, he looked at Cai Xu and asked, "Eat, why are you standing there?"

"Uh…" Cai Xu forced a dry laugh, silently set down his chopsticks and walked toward the back kitchen.

Now he realized that this group hadn't been bragging.

But their stomachs were truly huge.

They say being able to eat is a blessing.

Their way of eating could be considered more than enough.

But Cai Xu couldn't help feeling a bit of muscle soreness.

It was hard to earn some money from Su Yang, and today it seems most of it will be spent here.

"Cousin, fry ten more dishes!"

"Ten?!"

"If it's not enough, I'll call you again."

"Huh?"

The cousin, holding a wok spatula, was stunned.

He glanced at the chef beside him, who was flipping a ladle with smoke billowing, his eyes showing both surprise and excitement.

"Alright, no problem, as much as you need, we have!"

"We haven't opened for several days; today this meal should make up for the losses of the past few days."

Hearing that made Cai Xu's heart ache even more.

At the dining table, after Su Yang and the others took a few bites, they would clink their cups.

Such an occasion certainly cannot be without wheat juice.

"Come, first let Su Yang say a few words," Lin Yang gestured with his eyes.

"Cough~"

Su Yang stood up, glanced around, and said, "Everyone has worked hard these past days."

"This Clash we have gained a lot, and also lost a lot."

"The life‑and‑death struggle is always full of regrets, and my biggest regret is not being able to protect everyone."

"So this First Place Cup—"

"I want to first toast Ximen!"

Su Yang lifted the cup with both hands, his eyes flashing.

Ximen Zhirou is my dependent, and our partner.

His story shouldn't have ended here, yet my momentary negligence caused his death.

From the dependents' perspective, most people think that even a double loss is preferable to a single win.

But he did it, and to be honest I was very surprised.

I didn't expect Ximen would go this far for me, and I didn't expect his heartfelt words to be so plain.

The most ironic thing is humanity.

A person who has done a hundred good deeds, when committing one bad deed, will be condemned by a thousand people.

Conversely, a person who has done a hundred bad deeds, when doing one good deed, will move the masses.

In fact, what happened to me is not absolutely right or wrong.

Everything has two sides, but Ximen happened to choose the less populated side.

I say all this not to make those who bear grudges against him set aside their prejudice.

I simply wish to honor him purely as a partner.

Cheers to Ximen!

After speaking, Su Yang drained it in one gulp.

The sharp, spicy sting of alcohol hit his mouth cavity and rushed straight to his brain.

He was originally allergic to alcohol, but since the gene modification the condition has improved a lot.

Su Yang never touches alcohol on ordinary days, but today he wants to reminisce through this method.

Cheers to Ximen.

Lin Yang and the others raised their cups and drank together.

Wen Ran stood up, refilled everyone's drinks, and kept his gaze on Su Yang.

This second cup…

Su Yang looked at Yue Lan's team.

He smiled and said, "Our Yue Jie truly sacrifices herself for others, asking for no return."

During this period of interaction, I believe the big guy also saw it.

Whether it's Tian Cheng or Luo Qing, they are both first‑rate great people.

They speak of loyalty, value promises, and dare to risk their lives.

They would even, for my sake, be willing to shed blood to return to the prison at the first moment.

Regardless of the original intention, the saying still holds: a gentleman is judged by his deeds, not his heart.

This cup, I toast you alone!

Having said that, Su Yang drained it in one gulp.

Yue Lan and the other two exchanged smiles, raised their cups, and drank.

As for the third cup…

Su Yang looked at his own partners, softly said, "Naturally I must toast my dearest dependents."

Compared to the toil, I feel more heartache for you who labor and rush for the greater cause, throwing your heads and shedding hot blood.

Especially Lin Yang and Wei Yang, you two came specially from Firefly City to White Bear City to help.

A thousand thanks and ten thousand gratitudes are in the wine; cheers to you.

Su Yang smiled broadly three times and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yang grinned and said, "You still play this game with us, truly not treating us as family."

Qin Weiyang glared at him, grabbed the cup and drained it in one go.

Having said that, Lin Yang still invited the big guy to raise their cups together.

We are all family; in the future there will be many more opportunities to fight side by side.

I believe this will not be the last time.

In the future, no matter what we encounter, we will work together, overcoming difficulties!

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately clapped and cheered.

Well said!

After three cups of wine, Su Yang still did not choose to sit down.

Instead, he continued to refill the wine, looking around.

Seeing familiar faces one by one, his heart was filled with countless emotions.

Unwittingly, we have arrived at the final Death Game of the Third Stage.

We are about to head to a new battlefield, and will also face new challenges.

Talk of a bright future must have already bored the big guy.

Here, I wish everyone that in the future, no matter what situations arise, you can face them calmly.

Bon voyage!

Cheers to Freedom!!
