The battle was over. At the same time, the battle on Wangchunmen Boulevard also marked the end of the month-long chaos in Luoyang City.
However, Old Li, Xu Ke, and the others could not feel happy when they saw the devastation in Luoyang City.
The supernatural beings from the consortiums had not all been wiped out here. At least a third of them had managed to escape, which made Old Li feel a little regretful.
In this battle, the Knight also realized his shortcomings. Although they were much stronger than normal supernatural beings, when it came to guarding such a large stronghold, the 12 of them were still a little overstretched.
If Wu Dingyuan, Wen Meng, and the others could make it back in time, it would probably be a lot better. However, Wu Dingyuan and the others were also delayed in the wilderness.
With these restraints, they would also have a weakness.
When they were at Stronghold 74, Lee Young-yoon could just leave when things got tough. But in Luoyang City, he could not do that.
It was not because they had a lot of feelings for Luoyang City, but because they could not bear to part with Xu Ke.
A Knight who had nothing to worry about was very terrifying. Even the consortiums would not dare to provoke a united group of 12 Extraordinaires.
But once they were tied to a stronghold, the Knight's advantage would no longer be obvious.
For example, Luo Yunxian was stationed at the Qinghe Group's building the entire time. It was only when he learned Xu Ke was in danger that he finally left. It could be said that Luo Yunxian did not face any enemies during the entire battle.
Many stronghold residents who worshiped the Knight felt that the Knight should be invincible and extremely powerful. But while their wishes were beautiful, reality would not lie to them.
This was probably the reason why Huang Xiaoyu wanted the Knight to completely leave the Qinghe Group.
Xu Ke leaned against a wall and slowly sat down. He looked up at Huang Xiaoyu and asked, "So you also considered this a long time ago. That's why you wanted the Knight to leave the Qinghe Group?"
Next to him, Huang Xiaoyu said, "Even if the Knight continues to guard the Qinghe Group, we can't let others see it. Do you understand what I mean? When the enemy finds out what you care about, you've already lost. Actually, I also have feelings for the Qinghe Group and Luoyang City. It's just that the world is already in chaos, so we can't let others have something to blackmail us with. "
In Huang Xiaoyu's opinion, only when the Knight became a sharp sword hanging over the enemy's head could people feel fear.
When the enemy came to Luoyang City again, the Knight would no longer be a guardian. Instead, he would have to become an avenger. He could destroy Luoyang City to his heart's content, but he would also have to face the crazy revenge of the 12 Knight. No matter which financial group it was, they would have to be wary.
In this era, you couldn't have any worries. Even if you did, you couldn't let anyone know. You had to be ruthless enough.
This was what Huang Xiaoyu wanted to say.
Xu Ke nodded. "Then we can start planning. I can't leave the Qinghe Group for the time being, but I'll meet up with you guys in a year's time."
"You're planning to hand over the Qinghe Group?" Huang Xiaoyu asked curiously, "To whom?"
Xu Ke glanced at Ren Xiaosu, then thought for a moment before saying, "Xu Zhi."
"Xu Zhi? That young man? "Huang Xiaoyu frowned." I don't think he can do it. "
"Wasn't I only 23 years old when I took over the Qinghe Group? Who can do it right from the start?" Xu Ke said with a smile, "I've been keeping him by my side for a year. Putting everything else aside, at least that kid's guts and charisma are good enough. Are you talking about him getting kidnapped? That kid got the kidnappers to kill him. He's indeed one of the best among the young."
Huang Xiaoyu still felt it was a little rash to hand over the Qinghe Group to Xu Zhi. After all, Xu Zhi was too young.
In the end, Xu Ke sighed and said, "It's mainly because there's no more suitable candidate. I … also want to be as free as you all as soon as possible."
These were Xu Ke's heartfelt words. After this battle, he suddenly yearned to explore the famous mountains and rivers with everyone instead of staying in a stronghold to be a hardworking tycoon. This was not Xu Ke's dream.
If fame and fortune were his dream, he wouldn't have been able to become a Knight.
Xu Zhi was indeed too young, and Xu Ke was a little worried about him. But after the chaos this time, the entire Qinghe Group had been cleansed, and the core members of the group were not harmed. Instead, the Qinghe Group might become more united.
As for whether Xu Zhi could manage the Qinghe Group well … who cared? He only had 3% of the shares anyway.
Right now, Xu Ke was also showing signs of letting go of himself.
At this moment, the sound of running footsteps came from the end of the long street. Everyone turned around and was surprised to see a girl wearing a cap running towards Ren Xiaosu.
When Yang Xiaojin passed by Old Li, he wanted to thank her, but he realized she did not even bother to look at him.
However, when Yang Xiaojin was far away, she was still running quite fast. But when she got closer, she gradually slowed down. This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had seen Yang Xiaojin being so reserved.
Xu Ke took a look at his injuries and said with a sigh, "What a fucking public display of affection. Can't they consider the feelings of the audience?"
But Qin Sheng egged him on, "Brother Xiaosu, go over there!"
Ren Xiaosu walked towards Yang Xiaojin with a smile. But he was stunned again.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the black muzzle of the sniper rifle not far away and stopped in his tracks.
Yang Xiaojin asked calmly, "I heard you've recently taken in a maidservant?"
"Ah?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned on the spot. He did not expect Yang Xiaojin to suddenly mention this.
With a bang, the bullet brushed past Ren Xiaosu's ear and cut off a strand of Ren Xiaosu's hair. Yang Xiaojin's voice gradually turned cold. "I'm asking you a question!"
Ren Xiaosu retreated little by little. "No, listen to my explanation …"
"I'm not listening!"
Xu Ke exclaimed at the side. This was really reincarnation. Who would the heavens spare to let you show off?
It was such a fierce and dangerous battlefield, and you still said that the person you trusted was here. Bah!
Seeing Yang Xiaojin aiming her rifle at Ren Xiaosu and approaching him step by step, Ren Xiaosu retreated step by step. His back was drenched in cold sweat!
Slowly, the two of them started running, one advancing and the other retreating. The sound of the sniper rifle was accompanied by Ren Xiaosu's shouts, "Listen to me, it's really not what you think it is. She's not a maidservant!"
"Then there really is a maidservant." Yang Xiaojin's voice drifted over from afar.
Their voices gradually faded away as they ran all the way out of the stronghold.
The couple who had just met immediately launched a grand chase.
At this moment, Li Shentan, who was standing on the stronghold's walls, was watching this scene with relish. He said to Si Liren next to him with a smile, "We didn't make a special trip here in vain. There's really a good show to watch! It's so satisfying, so satisfying! "
Of course, Hope Media's newspaper would not mention the master-servant relationship between Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, but Li Shentan would.
Si Liren had seen with her own eyes that Li Shentan had written a sentence in the newspaper that he had given to Yang Xiaojin: "The mysterious young man who's been in the limelight recently, the one who runs around with a maidservant, is also Ren Xiaosu."
