"I can't accept this! We didn't do anything wrong! Why are you dismissing us?"
The fourth army's commander was a big man with sideburns. People called him Copper Hammer King. He stood up and glared at Rose King.
The sixth army's commander, Flying Feather King, looked at Ye Chen, "City Lord, did I and Copper Hammer King do anything wrong?"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "No."
"Then why did you dismiss us? Is it because we're from Scarlet Fire Gang and Flying Fire Gang?"
"Right."
"City Lord's actions are hard to convince the masses. I hope City Lord can retract his order. From now on, my Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang will wholeheartedly support you." Flying Feather King said loudly.
Ye Chen coldly glanced at him, "You mean that if I don't retract my order, Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang won't wholeheartedly support me? That's good too. In that case, there's no need for them to exist. The nine great powers of Sparkle City are indeed a bit too much. It's time to eliminate one or two."
Hearing these words, Flying Feather King's complexion turned incomparably pale. He didn't expect that his words would bring a huge disaster to Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang. He promptly said, "City Lord, I spoke without thinking just now. I hope you can forgive me. Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang will never have second thoughts."
At this time, he no longer dared to talk about Ye Chen retracting his order. If the latter wanted to annihilate Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"That's for the best. Go back and tell your gang leader that if you want to survive in Sparkle City, don't do anything out of line. If I catch you, you'll have to bear the consequences."
He didn't mind annihilating Flying Fire Gang and Scarlet Fire Gang, but he needed a reason. Otherwise, recklessly annihilating other gangs would put everyone in danger.
"Yes!"
Flying Feather King and Copper Hammer King didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Next, Rose King dismissed many more people. These people were all Life and Death Kings close to Zhao Family. Originally, they were hidden very deeply, and ordinary people didn't know about them. However, they couldn't hide it from Rose King and her family.
In the end, among the one thousand three hundred and four hundred high ranking officers, apart from the two hundred Life and Death Kings of the Zhao family, more than four hundred were relieved of their duties. It could be said to be a huge layoff.
Fortunately, there were a lot of Life and Death Realm warriors on the planet. As long as the news was sent out, there would definitely be thousands of Life and Death Realm warriors fighting for these positions.
After all, this was an iron rice bowl. If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't get another one.
"City Lord, Zhao Yang of the Zhao family requests an audience."
The next day, a "guest" arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The person who came in to report was the captain of the guards.
"Zhao Yang? Who is he? "Ye Chen asked.
"Zhao Yang is the number one expert of Zhao family. He's more than three thousand years old this year. It's said that he reached the peak of Life and Death sixth layer two thousand years ago, and even defeated a titled monarch. People call him Scorching Sun King."
"Invite him in."
Ye Chen nodded.
Soon, Zhao Yang arrived at the meeting hall.
Zhao Yang was a tall young man who looked to be in his thirties. He raised his head and looked at Ye Chen, who was sitting at the head of the hall, and said, "I'm the new patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Yang. I've come this time to discuss the matter of the Inferno Flower City. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I've come with sincerity."
"Alright then, tell me your sincerity!"
Ye Chen, on the other hand, wanted to hear the other party's sincerity.
Zhao Yang's brows twitched, "One billion! As long as you give up the Inferno Flower City and choose another main city as your territory, my Zhao family can give you one billion yuan stones in one go. Moreover, from now on, you'll be a friend of my Zhao family. This won't be a loss for you, but a huge profit instead. I believe that there should be a few third grade life planets that are not inferior to the Inferno Flower City."
"One billion, indeed a big sum."
Ye Chen faintly smiled.
For ordinary Life and Death Kings, one million yuan stones was already enough for them to not have to struggle with their lives on the line. After all, not everyone had high potential. For the majority of Life and Death Kings, no matter how hard they tried, they could only linger around the second or third layer. Ten million yuan stones could support the development of a fourth grade family. One hundred million yuan stones could make a third grade family flourish. As for one billion, many people didn't even dare to think about it.
"Have you thought it through?"
Zhao Yang carefully observed Ye Chen's expression, hoping to find some clues.
"To tell you the truth, I don't lack yuan stones."
Ye Chen didn't waver in the slightest.
Faintly creasing his brows, Zhao Yang said, "In this world, everything has its value. It's just a matter of how high or low it is. I believe that in your heart, the Inferno Flower City is not priceless."
"Indeed, the Inferno Flower City is not priceless in my heart, but your Zhao family cannot afford it."
"Two billion!"
Zhao Yang still didn't give up.
"Ten billion, and the Inferno Flower City belongs to your Zhao family."
Ye Chen didn't believe that the Zhao family would be willing to pay ten billion. If they were truly willing, he would consider it.
"Ten billion!" Even though Zhao Yang had already prepared his heart, he was still startled by Ye Chen's huge appetite. Ten billion was equivalent to the entire wealth of the Zhao family. Not to mention the other members of the family, even he himself wouldn't agree. Who knew how many years it would take for the Zhao family to earn back ten billion, and what kind of difficulties they would encounter during this period of time. Zhao Yang didn't get angry, but instead smiled, "You really know how to joke. I can't accept ten billion. It's ridiculous."
"As far as I'm concerned, the position of Inferno Flower City Lord is worth ten billion."
Inferno Flower Planet was a very special life planet. There were very few places suitable for human habitation, less than twenty percent of the planet. Although the other places were not suitable for human habitation, they were the most valuable places on the planet. Inexhaustible metal ores, fire attributed energy stones, and fire attributed spirit grasses were all treasures. In simpler terms, the value of a capital city of Inferno Flower Planet was not inferior to a capital city of a fifth grade life planet.
Zhao Yang's expression gradually turned gloomy. Sucking in a deep breath, he slowly said, "Since you can obtain Inferno Flower City, it means that you're a three star purple gold commander. How about this, if I can win one move against you by luck, can you consider my condition?"
As long as he won, Zhao Yang didn't believe that Ye Chen would still have the face to stay in Inferno Flower City.
"Win one move against me?"
How could Ye Chen not see that Zhao Yang had already entered the seventh layer of Life and Death realm? He was no longer the Burning Sun King, but the Burning Sun Emperor. Having just entered the seventh layer, he was certainly full of confidence.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. As long as you can block one move of mine without falling into a disadvantageous position, there's no harm in giving you Inferno Flower City."
Ye Chen said.
"Alright, it's a deal."
A prideful expression flickered in Zhao Yang's eyes. He didn't expect that Ye Chen would be so easily provoked. In fact, he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in winning against Ye Chen. But now, things were much easier. Not to mention not falling into a disadvantageous position in one move, he could even win ten moves without falling into a disadvantageous position.
"Make your move!"
Zhao Yang's Zhen Yuan erupted. His entire body seemed like a human-shaped sun, emitting boundless radiance.
