The waiter cleared the table.
"Amazing, they didn't even add sugar…"
Looking at the empty cups, the waiter admired the two who had just left. They were truly impressive.
Alliance High Court.
The Starry Sky Great Clans gathered in the meeting room.
"Stay or leave, it's your choice. Although it's unclear whether the Planet Devouring Crocodile will come, I don't want to face any irreversible danger."
A disciple of a Starry Sky Great Clan spoke.
He had learned about the Planet Devouring Crocodile from others. Only ancestors of their clans could deal with an adult Planet Devouring Crocodile. However, ancestors weren't cabbages; they wouldn't just appear when summoned.
Mu Hao said, "What's there to be afraid of? Whether it comes or not is still uncertain. If you want to leave, then leave. I'm not going anywhere."
The other Starry Sky Great Clans glanced at Mu Hao. They hadn't expected this guy to be so addicted to teaching, taking it so seriously. It was undeniably quite comical.
"Everyone, we agreed to join the Alliance High Court to bring a group of slaves back to our territories to mine. Now is the time to leave."
"Ah, it's a pity about the mountains and ancient relics here. They've gradually recovered, only to be destroyed by the Planet Devouring Crocodile. What a shame."
"Not necessarily destroyed, but the people on this planet definitely won't survive."
"Highly likely. It wouldn't be a bad idea to come back and excavate these ancient relics later."
Mu Hao said, "I won't stop you from taking people back to mine, but don't touch my students. I'll turn against anyone who does."
The Starry Sky Great Clan disciples didn't take Mu Hao's words to heart. They also didn't need to target Wu Sheng's students. There were plenty of people at the Alliance High Court, more than enough for them to divide.
"I think we can tell them about the Planet Devouring Crocodile. Now, we, the Starry Sky Great Clans, are willing to take them back to our territories and protect them. I believe more people will join us."
"Good idea."
"Yes, I agree."
Soon.
The students of the Alliance High Court turned pale when they heard what the Starry Sky Great Clan teachers told them.
Doomsday!
In the blink of an eye, the news spread online.
Special Department.
"Chief, there's talk of doomsday circulating online. It's already having a significant impact, causing widespread panic. The news that the giant beast appearing in the United States was a juvenile Planet Devouring Crocodile, and that an adult one is coming, originated from the Alliance High Court."
Jin He Li reported the situation.
There had been a lot happening recently.
And now, the Planet Devouring Crocodile incident was the most serious.
The news had already spread across the global network.
"Is this another trick by the Starry Sky Great Clans?" the one-eyed man asked.
Jin He Li shook her head. "No, we've already detected powerful figures from the Starry Sky Great Clans leaving the planet. It's highly likely to be true."
The one-eyed man waved his hand, dismissing Jin He Li to continue dealing with the situation. It was imperative to understand the situation clearly.
The one-eyed man searched for Lin Fan. It was as if this guy had completely vanished from the face of the earth. He couldn't be found anywhere, and no one was at his residence.
Finally…
He found the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow.
"Yes, it's true. The Planet Devouring Crocodile is a ferocious beast from the depths of the universe. The one killed by those two idiots was a juvenile. In the end, the Planet Devouring Crocodile was indeed calling for an adult."
The Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow ate KFC, stuffing spicy chicken wings into his mouth. He seemed hurried, yet there was an air of elegance about him, like a nobleman.
That kind of temperament couldn't be concealed.
"How strong is an adult Planet Devouring Crocodile?" the one-eyed man asked.
The Eighth Prince spoke while eating, "Unimaginably strong. An adult Planet Devouring Crocodile is enormous. It can swallow stars whole. You tell me, how big is that? Only the ancestors of various clans can stop an adult Planet Devouring Crocodile. But listen carefully, only stop, not kill. They might not even be able to stop it and could very well be killed instead."
The one-eyed man lowered his head, pondering.
Could Lin Fan handle it?
"Eighth Prince, you're still so calmly eating at a time like this. You must be confident, knowing that we're still safe here, right?" the one-eyed man said with a smile.
Even though he appeared worried, he maintained his composure.
This was the demeanor the chief of the Yanhai City Special Department should possess.
The Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow looked up at the one-eyed man, appearing surprised. "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this stuff later, so I ordered more. I plan to leave after I finish eating."
"Don't think that just because I'm a Golden Crow, I can contend with that kind of beast. I'm like an ant in front of it. Of course, I am the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow, possessing the Golden Crow bloodline. It might not dare to swallow me. But just in case, this Prince is still preparing to return to the clan."
He spoke the most cowardly words while simultaneously elevating the Golden Crow Clan's status in the starry sky.
Did you hear that?
This Prince has the Golden Crow bloodline.
It wouldn't dare swallow me.
The one-eyed man looked at the Eighth Prince. He hadn't expected this guy to be running away, and even enjoying a good meal before doing so. He was quite cunning.
Seeing the one-eyed man in a daze, the Eighth Prince sighed. "I think you've been good to me. If you want to leave, I can take you with me. But don't expect Lin Fan to save you. That's an adult Planet Devouring Crocodile. One bite, and you wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth."
He didn't have a good impression of Lin Fan.
A disrespectful fellow.
"Thank you for the offer, but no need." The one-eyed man left. He knew the Eighth Prince couldn't be relied upon. All hope could only be placed on Lin Fan.
The Eighth Prince watched the one-eyed man's retreating figure and shook his head.
"Ah, weak creatures are so pitiful. The arrival of the Planet Devouring Crocodile will be a disaster you cannot avoid."
After speaking, he continued to devour the KFC on the table.
He thought…
Should he just kidnap a few KFC employees when he leaves?
Make them cook KFC every day.
On the street.
"Lin Fan, what's wrong with everyone?" Old Zhang watched the pedestrians on the street hurrying along. Some were squatting and crying, while others were loading various items into their cars, as if in a great rush.
Lin Fan said, "I don't know."
Soon.
There was a commotion ahead.
"Pay me back! I treated you like my best brother. You said your company was in trouble, that you just needed to borrow money for a month. I lent you all the money I saved for my wedding and house. You actually tricked me and disappeared completely! I searched for you for three years before finding out you were in Yanhai City. Do you know how much you've hurt me?" A young man, his face red with anger, grabbed another man and roared.
His emotions were running high.
If he had a knife, he might have stabbed the other man.
"Damn, do you really have to do this? It's the end of the world, and you're still thinking about asking me for money? I don't have any money."
"Damn you! I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then, letting brotherly sentiment get in the way. Is this how you treat me?"
"You were the stupid one. What does it have to do with me? No one else would lend me money, only you. Why don't you think about why no one else would lend me money?"
"I'm going to fight you!"
Instantly.
The two began to brawl.
Normally, passersby would have stopped to watch and taken photos to post on their social media.
But now…
The situation was different.
No one stopped to watch. Many people hurried along, their faces filled with fear, as if they had encountered something terrifying.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang maintained order in the city.
They quickly separated the two men.
Persuading them to stop fighting.
The demonic rooster was puzzled.
The end of the world?
Out of the blue, how could it be the end of the world? Yesterday everything was fine, how could it change so suddenly? Honestly, it was difficult to understand.
Special Department.
A beautiful figure stood hesitating at the entrance, her head lowered in thought, as if troubled by something.
The security guard had been observing her for a while.
Based on his years of experience as a security guard, there were only two possibilities for someone lingering like this.
Good person.
Bad person.
He believed this young lady must be a good person. It would be a shame if she were a bad person, a great loss for society.
He had seen the news outside.
Something about doomsday.
As a security guard for the Special Department, he had to maintain a good attitude. He hadn't seen his colleagues react differently; they seemed as calm as usual, not taking these things seriously at all.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" the security guard asked.
Li Nan Nan was startled for a moment, then replied, "I'm looking for Lin Fan."
The guard said, "They went out early this morning. They're not in the department."
"Is there anyone in charge here? I have something important to tell him," Li Nan Nan said.
If it were an ordinary security guard, he would have said that she couldn't see anyone without an appointment. But as a security guard of the Special Department, he had undergone rigorous training, and various movie plots had taught him one thing.
When someone says they have something important, it must be taken seriously.
"Please come with me. I'll take you to our chief," the security guard said.
Security guards all over the world should learn from this security guard.
This level of professional ethics wasn't something ordinary people possessed.
In the office.
The security guard knocked on the door.
"Chief, there's a young lady here who says she has something important to report."
"Come in."
The security guard said, "Miss, please come in. I'll return to my post."
"Thank you," Li Nan Nan said gratefully.
Inside the office.
"You are?" The one-eyed man looked at the visitor, puzzled. He didn't seem to recognize her. But soon, a memory of a past encounter surfaced in his mind. "You're a disciple of the Starry Sky Great Clans."
He had met her before.
He had even made arrangements for these Starry Sky Great Clans members. However, she seemed to be a servant girl, of low status and nothing special, so she didn't attract much attention. That's why he seemed unfamiliar with her at first glance.
Li Nan Nan said, "Yes, I am a disciple of the Starry Sky Great Clans. I came here to tell you that the Starry Sky Great Clans at the Alliance High Court are planning to deceive your people. They claim they will take them away from this planet and protect them, but they actually intend to bring them to their territories and force them to work as slaves in mines on desolate planets."
The one-eyed man was surprised. "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want to thank Lin Fan. Since he isn't here, I'm telling you. I will be leaving with my mistress and returning to our territory. I may never have the chance to thank him in person, so I can only tell you this." Li Nan Nan said.
The one-eyed man stood up. "I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll be going now. Goodbye."
