Chapter 293: Chapter 292: What’s the Situation?
“Yes!”
The thin man named Heit nodded vigorously after hearing Lance’s words and said excitedly, “Brother Lance, I understand. Don’t worry, I will try my hardest, I will definitely strive with all my might.
Winkle Chairman is a great man; I wish him good health and long life.
Though I might be a bit slow, I believe that with my efforts, one day I’ll be able to gather enough people to become Vice President, to become a great person like Chairman Winkle.”
“It’s good that you have this mindset. Alright, we have arrived; let’s go inside.” In front of a dilapidated house, the tall Lance stopped and spoke to the thin Heit.
Heit nodded, nervously adjusted his dry linen old clothes, shook the mud off his shoes, and cautiously followed the tall Lance into the house.
Just as the two approached the house, on a nearby wooden building, a short, fat man like a winter melon pushed the door and walked out. The fat man was gasping heavily, his eyes blank, looking around, appearing completely hollowed out.
Seeing Lance and Heit enter the house, the fat man let out a cold snort and muttered, “What other fools has Winkle tricked into coming here! Hmph, more fools than I expected. Just wait, when there are too many people and they can’t support themselves anymore, let’s see what happens. Of course…”
The fat man hesitated, thought seriously, and said, “Of course… what if they really can hold out? Supposedly, according to Winkle’s deceiving method, to become a Vice President, one would need to recruit over two thousand people into his gang. In that case, if we really do end up with several Vice Presidents, wouldn’t the entire White Stone Tower belong to him? Impossible…”
The more he thought, the more frightened he felt. Just as he was feeling uneasy, suddenly footsteps sounded behind him, followed by a pair of soft, fragrant arms wrapping around his thick neck.
“Little Alex, what are you looking at?” a beautiful woman asked.
“Uh, that Lady Amanda, I was… watching…” The fat man’s anxiety about what Winkle had vanished completely, replaced by an even stronger unease. Hearing the beautiful woman’s words, his face was already sweaty.
“You’re not impotent, are you?” The woman looked at the fat man who had been silent for a long time and suddenly asked with a plaintive tone, “If that’s really the case, then I truly look down on you!”
“No way!” The fat man, feeling greatly offended, argued loudly in annoyance, “How can I be impotent, Lady Amanda? Don’t you know my capabilities? I am very capable…”
“That’s good.” The woman interrupted the fat man, “It’s good that you’re capable. Come on, I’ve prepared the bathwater, let’s bathe together. Isn’t this what you like the most? Come on…”
The woman pulled the fat man towards the inside of the wooden building. The anger on the fat man’s face gradually disappeared, turning to astonishment, then to fear, and finally to despair. Step by step, the fat man walked, his legs getting softer and his body trembling more.
Just as he was about to enter the door, feeling utterly despairing, a loud explosion sounded from a nearby house. Flames soared tens of meters high, lifting off the roof and engulfing the entire building. The fire illuminated the entire sky, the flames burned fiercely, and the exploding house shook precariously as the fire slowly spread to the surrounding area.
Both the fat man and the woman were startled by the sudden loud noise, standing frozen in place, subconsciously watching the rising flames for a long time before they could react.
“This…” the woman trembled, fearfully shrinking into the fat man’s embrace, “Little… Little Alex, what happened? How…”
“I…” the fat man was also extremely nervous, his face breaking out in sweat, but still he tried to maintain his composure and comfort her, “Lady Amanda, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s just an accidental fire. We are far enough away; it shouldn’t reach the wooden building. It’s just someone else’s dilapidated house burning, no need to be afraid.”
“Uh, okay then.” The woman nodded after listening, “Then Little Alex, let’s go in and bathe quickly before the bathwater gets cold…”
The fat man’s body stiffened, and the next moment he suddenly pushed the woman who was nestled in his arms. His face changed to an expression of pitying heaven, feeling the weight of human life, conscience, and aligning with the Divine Society.
“Lady Amanda, I just remembered, even though it’s someone else’s dilapidated house burning, there are still people inside; I must go and save them! Otherwise, if they die, what then? They are my neighbors after all!” the fat man exclaimed loudly.
“Uh…” The woman seemed a bit stunned. “Then how did you save…”
“Thanks to you, Lady Amanda, muah!” The chubby man fervently kissed the woman’s face and hurried into the room. Not sure if it was the critical moment that triggered his potential, he somehow managed to lift a bathtub filled with most of its water, wobbling and staggering towards the outside of the building that was on fire.
“I… I’m going to fight the fire! Ah… Lady Amanda, you… wait for me, I… I’ll be right back… yes, I’ll be right back, no need to rush, just wait here for me, please don’t follow, it’s dangerous! I can handle this dangerous situation myself!”
While speaking, the chubby man descended the stairs with the bathtub, thinking to himself: I should find a place to dump the water and then rest for the night; I absolutely won’t return before dawn, after all, older women are really too scary…
With that thought, the chubby man reached the ground floor, and his gaze drifted involuntarily toward the wooden building on fire in the distance, blinking he said, “Hey, isn’t that Winkle’s house that’s on fire? Could it be that his deceitful tricks have offended someone, so he got wiped out? No way, right?”
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw two people emerge from the raging flames.
Yes, two people, two unharmed persons dressed in Black Robes, walked out of the flames.
This!
The two Black Robed Men glanced at the chubby man, who shivered violently all over, nearly falling to the ground, the bathtub slipping from his hands with a clang.
As he looked at the two Black Robed Men, obviously not to be messed with, the chubby man gulped audibly and stammered, trying to prove his innocence, saying, “I… I’m here to fight the fire…”
“No, no!” The chubby man suddenly changed his statement, “I’m not here to fight the fire, I… I was dumping bathwater, yes, dumping bathwater.”
Saying this, the chubby man tipped over the bathtub, causing the water inside to rush out onto the ground with a splash.
The two Black Robed Men watched his action silently, but one of them then extended a hand toward the chubby man.
The chubby man screamed, “Ah,” and immediately collapsed on the ground, pleading, “Don’t… don’t kill me, I… I really was just dumping bathwater, I…”
The Black Robed Man remained silent, extending one hand, with the water on the ground under some mysterious force began to coalesce and freeze.

After a while, a hard pattern made of solid ice appeared before the chubby man.
Looking at the pattern, the chubby man saw that on the outside was a circle, inside the circle was a triangle and a vertical line.
What’s this?
Confused, the chubby man looked toward the Black Robed Men, only to discover that they had vanished without a trace.
This…
“Whew—”
The chubby man let out a long breath, grateful to have survived, then scratched his head, looked at the ice pattern before him, and at the burning fierce fire, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “What… What in the world is going on?”
What’s going on?
