Chapter 409 - Invitation
Chapter 409: Invitation
When Zhou Hao heard this, he did not reveal any expressions, but he sneered in his heart!
This Senior Qian was still testing him. It seemed that he still suspected that this matter was related to them!
Of course, his suspicions were right. However, Zhou Hao and the others had not left behind any clues. His suspicions were entirely based on his hunch.
Zhou Hao looked at Senior Qian and said indifferently, “Senior Qian, do you think Boss Zhou’s death has anything to do with us?”
Senior Qian did not expect Zhou Hao to answer like this, but he still took a deep breath.
“I think you do have something to do with it!”
After saying this, the scene immediately became strange. Yin Feng and the other two also took a deep breath and were prepared to fight at any moment. As for Xu Ling and the others, their hearts jumped. They thought that Boss Qian was prepared to attack!
“Commander Zhou, I hope you won’t mind me being frank. In the end, you were the one who benefited the most from this matter. I don’t know why you’re here, but for so many years, the Green Cloud Division has never sent anyone over. There must be a reason why they suddenly sent you here.”
“If you don’t wish to tell me, I will also stop asking any more questions. But I will say this… although I don’t know how you did it, I still feel that you’re the most suspicious!”
Senior Qian’s words were understandable. Actually, most of what he said was right!
However, Zhou Hao shook his head and looked at Senior Qian. He said, “Senior Qian, you’re really overestimating us. First of all, we’ve just arrived at the Hundred City and the Red Cliff Abyss. Our foundation is already unstable. Not to mention dealing with you, we can’t even make the martial artists of the Commander Residence listen to our orders. Why would we provoke you?”
“Secondly, if we do have the ability, there would be no need for us to be secretive, right? Therefore, I still think you’re still thinking too much.”
Zhou Hao’s logic was sound. After saying this, Senior Qian took a deep breath.
“I understand, but I can’t think of anyone in the Red Cliff Abyss who would want to kill Boss Zhou. What is the purpose of this?!”
Senior Qian was very puzzled. He had long believed Zhou Hao’s words. At this moment, he was actually testing Zhou Hao again to confirm his thoughts!
“This… I didn’t know. We just arrived here and haven’t even sat down yet. Today is also the first day we came to the Red Cliff Abyss. Therefore, regarding this incident in the Red Cliff Abyss, I can only offer some of my analysis. As for who the murderer is, I really don’t know.”
Zhou Hao smiled. That made Senior Qian feel much more relieved!
“Sigh… This matter is getting out of hand. Commander Zhou, as you probably know, most of us were chased here because we offended the Green Cloud Division.”
“However, to be honest, many of us have never complained about the Green Cloud Division. After all, many of us here had done bad things. It’s our own fault for being exiled like this. We don’t blame anyone else. Actually, we are not trying to scheme against you at all. We just feel that your purpose here is not simple, so we’re a little hostile towards you. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Senior Qian was rather straightforward. Zhou Hao nodded secretly.
“Senior Qian, you sure are straightforward.” Zhou Hao smiled.
“Senior Zhou, since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. Zhou Kang’s matter is a little troublesome. Now, their Zhou family is acting like a crazy dog that bites anyone it sees!”
Senior Qian also sighed. At the moment, the Zhou family was suspicious of everyone. Thus, the current Red Cliff Abyss was in chaos.
Zhou Hao nodded. After that, Senior Qian also left.
Zhou Hao understood Senior Qian’s attitude and was relieved. After all, the Red Cliff Abyss was currently somewhat chaotic. Thus, Zhou Hao’s next move was dependent on Senior Qian’s attitude.
Zhou Hao and the others originally wanted to stroll around the Red Cliff Abyss. Unexpectedly, they immediately received an invitation from the Zhou Family after coming out of the Brilliant Club!
“Commanders, I’m the Zhou Family’s housekeeper. My family’s Old Master and Eldest Madam have invited you to the auction house.”
The person who arrived was an old man with a peak-level grandmaster cultivation. He held an invitation in his hand, making Zhou Hao and the others stunned.
“If it’s Senior Zhou’s invitation. I’ll naturally go.”
Zhou Hao smiled. He knew that the Zhou family was being kind and did not refuse. Instead, Yin Feng became a little worried.
“Commander Zhou, I think we shouldn’t go. The Zhou family is very powerful. Zhou Kang’s father is a sixth-grade supernatural expert. Even Zhou Kang’s wife is a third-grade supernatural expert. The Zhou family has been operating the auction house for so many years and is very powerful. If they deal with us, we…”
Yin Feng was naturally afraid. The Zhou family was now like a wild dog that bit everyone it saw. He was really worried that he would be affected, so he whispered to Zhou Hao!
However, Zhou Hao smiled. “Vice Commander Yin, you’re thinking too much. The Zhou family won’t make things difficult for us. Instead, if we don’t go, we’ll be even more suspicious!”
As Zhou Hao spoke, he let the person lead the way.
Soon, they arrived at the auction house. Like the Brilliant Club, this auction house was also extremely luxurious. There were even huge palaces that looked like they could only appear in ancient novels. It was somewhat different from the conventional buildings they were used to.
All auction houses needed strength. If not, why would they dare to auction treasures?!
Therefore, the strength of this Zhou Family was definitely above that of the owner of the Brilliant Club!
The group walked straight into the auction house and took the elevator to the top floor.
On the top floor was the office of the auction house. At this moment, several people were seated. The leader among them was a white-haired old man. At this moment, his expression was cold and his supernatural cultivation emitted a murderous aura!
This person was Zhou Kang’s father, Zhou Cangdao!
In this Red Cliff Abyss, he was also considered a veteran expert with a sixth-grade supernatural cultivation. He was definitely an expert. With a stomp of his foot, the entire Red Cliff Abyss would tremble!
Sitting beside him was a middle-aged woman. Her eyes were red and swollen. Clearly, she had just cried. If Zhou Hao was not wrong, this was Zhou Kang’s wife.
Zhou Beishan was sitting there, and his expression was also not very good. When they saw Zhou Hao and the others walk in, they all looked over.
Yin Feng’s expression was incomparably nervous. Hua Manlou and the others behind him were all the same. Only Zhou Hao had a calm expression.
“Senior Zhou.”
Zhou Hao smiled and said when he saw Zhou Cang.
Xu Ling and the others also nodded and did not say anything.
Zhou Cangdao looked at Zhou Hao and snorted coldly. He immediately said, “Commander Zhou, how dare you scheme against my son. If you don’t give me an explanation for this, you won’t be able to leave this auction house today!”
As soon as Zhou Cangdao spoke, the atmosphere immediately became tense. An invisible killing intent spread in the surroundings..
