A large group of armed guards rushed into the office. Looking at the broken window, all of them were shocked.
This was Luo Ying's office, the second most powerful person in the headquarters. Luo Ying had always been known for her bravery and fighting skills.
The commander of the headquarters was Yue Guang, but everyone knew that Luo Ying was stronger. Now, Luo Ying was missing. The third most powerful person in the headquarters, Yue Feng, stood at the side with an ugly expression.
The group of guards did not know what to do. They could only look at Yue Feng and wait for him to speak.
Yue Feng let out a long sigh and said to the guards, "Leave. Everyone, keep this a secret. If I find out who leaked the news, you will have to bear the consequences. "
The guards knew the seriousness of the matter and obeyed.
After the guards left, Yue Feng returned to his office and heaved a sigh of relief. His legs were still weak, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
He was really scared out of his wits just now!
Yue Feng was not a coward. He often participated in battles and even went deep underground to hunt powerful star beasts. But for the first time in his life, he was so close to death.
The person Gao Zhengyang killed was Luo Ying, who was slightly stronger than him. The entire battle took less than two seconds!
It was not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter by Gao Zhengyang. One palm and Luo Ying exploded!
Gold Star Masters had differences in strength, but the difference was very small. Even if a winner could be decided, it would take at least a few hundred moves. There were many Gold Star Masters in the Dawn System, but everyone's level was about the same.
Because everyone's strength was about the same, everyone guarded their own planet. No one had the ambition to conquer other planets.
As the third most powerful person in the headquarters, Yue Feng was used to this balance. Everyone did their own things, and no one could take more than the others.
Gao Zhengyang's appearance changed Yue Feng's understanding of Star Masters. It turned out that Star Masters could be so powerful.
With the power that Gao Zhengyang displayed, even if the headquarters gathered all their forces, they might not be able to defeat him.
What did this mean? It meant that Gao Zhengyang alone could flatten the headquarters and sweep the entire planet.
If Gao Zhengyang was willing, he could become the king of Planet Crater! He could even conquer other planets in the Dawn System!
As a Gold Star Master, Yue Feng knew very well what Gao Zhengyang's power meant!
Of course, it was also possible that Gao Zhengyang had gone all out and pretended that nothing had happened.
However, Yue Feng rejected this conjecture. He could clearly see that Gao Zhengyang's strength was unfathomable. Against Luo Ying, he didn't even use any strength.
This was the intuition of a Gold Star Master towards power. Yue Feng also believed in his own judgment. At that time, if Gao Zhengyang wanted to kill him, it would only take a palm strike. Because of this, he felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, he had always been polite to Gao Zhengyang.
Yue Feng sat in front of his desk, enjoying the cold wind blowing in from next door. He slowly calmed down.
Gao Zhengyang obviously looked down on Planet Crater and the Dawn System. In fact, he had never hidden his thoughts. Therefore, he had always been lazy and didn't care about anything.
Of course, Yue Feng had seen this in the past, but he didn't think much of it. He thought that Gao Zhengyang couldn't accept the huge changes in the times and couldn't accept the huge gap between them.
In this era, everyone had to work hard to survive. People like Gao Zhengyang were undoubtedly useless.
Yue Feng now understood that Gao Zhengyang wasn't without self-awareness. He really looked down on everything here, including the Gold Star Masters.
Therefore, Gao Zhengyang couldn't be bothered to show off his power. He just fooled around every day.
His sudden attack this time was probably not to show off his power. There must be a reason behind it.
Yue Feng calmed down and first contacted Yue Guang. Although they both had the surname Yue, the two of them were not related by blood.
The people who escaped from Orion Star Region mainly had the surname Yue, Wang, Chen, and Lu. Now, people with the surname Yue made up about 15% of the people in the Dawn System.
Such a big surname made everyone lose their sense of identity with it. It was the same for Yue Feng. Yue Guang's surname wasn't important. What was important was who he was.
Having the same surname wouldn't make two people closer.
Yue Guang was the oldest and was already semi-retired. Of course, he still held a lot of power. Before he died, he wouldn't give up on this power.
Yue Guang usually cultivated at home and would only attend important meetings at the headquarters. Yue Feng was very surprised when he received Yue Feng's message.
Communication technology was very poor. Although they were only a few dozen kilometers apart, the white-haired Yue Guang looked very blurry on the monitor. Yue Feng couldn't even see his expression.
But he was sure that Yue Guang was also very shocked. Yue Feng heaved a sigh of relief. If Yue Guang was the one behind this, things would be troublesome.
Although it was still troublesome, at least it wasn't for power.
Yue Guang didn't come to the headquarters because he hated Luo Ying.
Yue Guang couldn't sit still after such a big thing happened. Ten minutes later, Yue Guang arrived at the headquarters.
Yue Feng took Yue Guang to see the scene and showed him some of Luo Ying's body parts. Although Yue Guang didn't like Luo Ying, he was also emotional when he saw the palm-sized blood armor pieces.
The two of them discussed for a long time in the conference room but couldn't come to any conclusion. Yue Guang had never seen Gao Zhengyang before, let alone understood him.
The headquarters were quite powerful, and they quickly found out what had happened. They knew that the Night Owl Society had attacked Gao Zhengyang and angered him. The people of the Nightingale Society were killed on the spot. Then, Gao Zhengyang went to the headquarters and killed Luo Ying.
The reason was simple. Luo Ying was the boss of the Nightingale Society.
Yue Guang and Yue Feng were speechless after hearing this. Luo Ying was indeed the boss of the Nightingale Society, but he didn't have time to care about what the Nightingale Society did.
Luo Ying actually had more than a dozen such organizations under her, all of them doing her dirty work. He would only think of these people when he needed them.
Because Luo Ying was killed by the Nightingale Society, she died a little wronged.
At least, that was what Yue Guang and Yue Feng thought. They couldn't help but have such people under them.
Fortunately, the Nightingale Society made the first move and stepped on this shocking thunder!
The investigators also said that Gao Zhengyang followed the security captain to the Nightingale Society's lair, where at least 500 people were killed on the spot. All of them died miserably.
The Nightingale Society had a great influence in the third base. The destruction of their lair also caused a stir in the third base. However, most people didn't know the truth. Although it was a mess, it hadn't caused an uncontrollable riot.
Yue Feng sent his subordinates away and said to Yue Guang, "Second Brother, what do we do now?"
Yue Guang was almost a hundred years older than Yue Feng, but they were both Gold Star Masters, so they were of the same generation. Yue Feng was used to calling him Second Brother to show their closeness.
"He has quite a temper."
Yue Guang sighed. Just because the other party provoked him, he killed them. This Gao Zhengyang was very troublesome.
Yue Feng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. I've interacted with him a few times, and he's quite easy to talk to. He's not overbearing. I can't tell that he's so strong! "
"I can't see through him, I can't see through him …"
Yue Guang was a sly old fox. He had seen all kinds of people in his life, but he had never seen someone like Gao Zhengyang.
The other party didn't seem to be interested in money or power, and he couldn't be considered lustful. With Gao Zhengyang's strength, if he wanted to be lustful, he could easily find hundreds or thousands of women.
Just like Wu Zhen, although she was considered an expert. But to a Gold Star Master, it was still very easy. It was just that the few Gold Star Masters in the headquarters weren't lustful, and they didn't really like people like Wu Zhen.
Yue Guang felt that people always had preferences and desires. But Gao Zhengyang seemed to have transcended all these. He had earth-shattering abilities, but he just fooled around every day.
Others were used to calling him a gigolo, and some even called him that in front of his face. If not for the Nightingale Society provoking him, no one would know that he was so powerful.
Wu Zhen probably didn't know either. Wu Zhen wasn't the kind of person who was scheming. If she knew about Gao Zhengyang's situation, even if she didn't say it, she wouldn't be so calm.
Yue Guang thought for a while and said, "He seems to like Wu Zhen more. Let's call her back first. Then, we'll go visit him. "
Wu Zhen's presence could at least ease the atmosphere. Wu Zhen had been nurtured by the headquarters since she was young, and she had a lot of feelings for the headquarters. Moreover, Yue Feng had always admired Wu Zhen and focused on nurturing her.
Yue Feng nodded. Calling Wu Zhen back was indeed a good idea.
Wu Zhen, who was mining, received an emergency order to retreat. She didn't know what had happened, but she could only return home immediately. But it was already four days later when Wu Zhen returned to the headquarters.
As soon as Wu Zhen returned, she received a grand welcome from Yue Guang and Yue Feng.
This made Wu Zhen very confused. She had no idea what had happened. Faced with the care and concern of the two Gold Star Masters, she felt goosebumps.
Yue Feng knew Wu Zhen better, so he comforted her first before briefly explaining what had happened to Luo Ying. Of course, Yue Feng was very skillful in his explanation. He criticized Luo Ying for being evil and doing something wrong, which was why she was killed by Gao Zhengyang.
After listening, Wu Zhen was dumbfounded. How could Gao Zhengyang, who was always at home and waiting to die, do such a big thing?
Wu Zhen's first reaction was that it was impossible. Gao Zhengyang was a lazy glutton, enjoyed life, and looked down on everyone. If not for the fact that he was so handsome and was her first man, she would have dumped him long ago.
The living environment of Planet Rock Pit was harsh, and everyone had to work hard. Even if they were bad guys, they had to do their best. A lazy person like Gao Zhengyang would be ridiculed by everyone.
Wu Zhen was also ridiculed when she was with Gao Zhengyang. She was only able to persevere because of her strong character.
Now, Yue Feng suddenly told her that Gao Zhengyang was a powerful Gold Star Master, and the strongest kind at that. This was really hard for her to accept.
Wu Zhen didn't even know how she left the headquarters. In a daze, she was sent back to her residence at Base No.3.
The place she lived in was a cave cut into the stone wall, but it was simply decorated, connected to water and electricity, and had a simple sanitary sewage system.
In Base No.3, it was considered a high-end residential area.
The stairs on the mountain wall were all hanging out, and there was a large open space below with flowers and plants, benches, and a small underground fountain.
This colorful spring water was poisonous and undrinkable. She could only look around.
The open space was always filled with some old people. They were knitting something or making some small tools, and their mouths were never idle.
Ever since Wu Zhen brought Gao Zhengyang home, every time she passed by the open space, there would be people whispering and pointing at her.
Those who could live here were all people of status and background. No one was really afraid of Wu Zhen. Some of the hot-tempered ones even told her to dump Gao Zhengyang right in front of her face.
Some even mocked her for keeping a gigolo, and that the money she worked so hard to earn was all going to men.
Wu Zhen couldn't be bothered with these people. Every time, she would just leave without saying a word.
This time, Wu Zhen realized that the situation had really changed. The expressions of the dozens of old men and women who were chatting together changed when they saw her.
A group of old and wrinkled faces forced out amiable smiles. It was a rather frightening scene.
"Zhen Zhen is back …"
"She's getting prettier and prettier!"
"Miss Zhen, you're so valiant. Just looking at you makes me happy …"
"Miss Zhen, come and have a seat. I have some sweet tea here. Try it …"
A group of old men and old women immediately surrounded her. Their fawning looks gave Wu Zhen goosebumps.
Wu Zhen could only force a smile. "No, no, I have something to do at home."
The group of old men and women suddenly understood. Some of them even looked at her with respect and agreed. "Yes, yes, yes, go home."
"Elder Bei is waiting for you at home …"
Wu Zhen felt her scalp tingle. These old men and women were so old, but they were so sweet!
At this point, Wu Zhen finally confirmed that the situation had changed.
Back in her room, Wu Zhen stood at the door and took two deep breaths before taking out her key to open the door.
Wu Zhen's room was not big. It only had two bedrooms and a living room. One of the bedrooms had been converted into a study. That was because Gao Zhengyang liked to read.
Papermaking was not a problem now. Trees were abundant, so a lot of information could be printed into books. The books were not expensive either. Because Gao Zhengyang liked books, he bought all kinds of books and filled the room.
When Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do, he liked to read in the rocking chair with a glass of wine in his hand.
Wu Zhen opened the door and saw that the light in the study was on. The rocking chair was also swaying gently.
The two guards following Wu Zhen put down the wine, food and other gifts they had brought with them, saluted Wu Zhen, and left.
Wu Zhen had just closed the door when Gao Zhengyang rushed out of the study and hugged Wu Zhen. "Little girl, you're back. Even Master missed you!"
Wu Zhen did not know how to face Gao Zhengyang. Hearing that familiar and intimate voice, the barrier in her heart disappeared. She struggled and said sarcastically, "I heard that you're really awesome. You killed Luo Ying …"
"You can't blame me. He was the one who provoked me."
Gao Zhengyang felt wronged. "This guy wants to sell me to another woman. How can that be? I only love Zhen Zhen."
Gao Zhengyang snorted. "This guy wants to break us up. He deserves to die."
Wu Zhen knew that Gao Zhengyang was not telling the truth. But hearing Gao Zhengyang say that, she felt especially sweet in her heart. She asked in a daze, "Really?"
"Look at Little Fool. He can't be any more real …"
Gao Zhengyang held Wu Zhen down with a smirk and released Little Fool to torment her.
After the strenuous activity, Wu Zhen and Gao Zhengyang felt refreshed both physically and mentally. Especially Wu Zhen. She lay there lazily and didn't even want to talk.
She just hugged Gao Zhengyang like a clingy kitten.
Indeed, hugging Gao Zhengyang made Wu Zhen feel like she had the whole universe. She was very satisfied. So much so that she didn't want to ask about things that spoiled the mood.
Gao Zhengyang was a bit puzzled. "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"It doesn't matter if you're strong or weak. I just like you."
Wu Zhen said lazily, "As long as you still like me, nothing else matters."
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't know that a thick-browed, big-eyed guy like you could say words of love."
Wu Zhen felt a bit strange. She glanced at Gao Zhengyang. "What do you want now?"
"Hard work breeds feelings, and hard work breeds true love." Gao Zhengyang hugged Wu Zhen. "True feelings are deeply rooted. Good feelings can't be hard …"
"Naughty Silver …"
The next day, Wu Zhen went to the headquarters to find Yue Feng.
Wu Zhen said, "He said he won't do anything and doesn't want to change anything. Please don't worry."
Yue Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This kind of verbal promise actually didn't have much effect, but at least Gao Zhengyang had expressed his stance.
More importantly, they couldn't restrain Gao Zhengyang. Unless they gathered all their forces and fought to the death with Gao Zhengyang, they might have a small chance of killing him.
However, in such a harsh environment on Planet Crater, humans had long since learned to retreat and endure. As a leader, if they didn't have this bit of wisdom, they wouldn't be qualified to sit in this position.
In fact, the higher the level, the more they understood that only by learning to compromise could they succeed.
However, this matter was too important. It was just that Wu Zhen said no. Yue Feng once again expressed his request to meet with Gao Zhengyang.
Wu Zhen readily agreed. Yue Feng admired her very much, but it was difficult to conceal the arrogance of a superior. Now, however, he was somewhat subservient, which Wu Zhen wasn't used to. However, she could make the decision for a small matter like meeting with Gao Zhengyang.
Wu Zhen also felt that Gao Zhengyang wasn't the kind of person who would pay attention to the rules when meeting. He just lay at home and drank every day without a fart. It wouldn't take much effort to meet with someone.
According to Wu Zhen, she could even bring Gao Zhengyang to the headquarters. However, Yue Feng refused.
Wu Zhen and Gao Zhengyang could be impolite, but they couldn't do the same. Who knew what Gao Zhengyang was thinking if he brought someone to the headquarters.
The next day, Yue Feng and Yue Guang went to Wu Zhen's house together.
Wu Zhen went to the kitchen and made a few dishes.
Gao Zhengyang, Yue Feng, and Yue Guang sat together, drinking and chatting. Gao Zhengyang didn't pretend to be profound, nor did he purposely befriend them. He just casually drank with the two Gold Star Masters.
This relaxed atmosphere quickly infected Yue Feng and Yue Guang. The two of them also slowly relaxed.
The three of them chatted for a long time. Although they couldn't be considered to be sincere, Yue Feng and Yue Guang had a rough idea of what Gao Zhengyang was thinking. They were satisfied with the result of the conversation.
Yue Guang and Yue Feng weren't ambitious. They just wanted to manage Planet Rock Pit and maintain the status quo. That was enough.
Finally, Gao Zhengyang said, "I also have a small matter that I need your help with …"
Although Yue Feng and Yue Guang were dizzy from drinking, they became serious when they heard this. Since Gao Zhengyang had spoken, no matter what it was, they had to try their best to do it.
However, could something that could make Gao Zhengyang speak up be a small matter?
