Doomsday Code

Chapter 995 Bad Premonition

"Alright, my brothers and sisters have had a long day, and we've helped you clear your name of all the stains you've been carrying. It's getting late, why don't you let us rest here for a bit?"

Chen Cheng flashed a bright white smile, but his eyes kept glancing at Martin's neck.

Martin, who was very sensitive to killing intent, felt a chill run down his neck. He then pointed to the lord beside him and said:

"My lord, please don't make things difficult for me. This is the true owner of this place, and we need his permission."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng chuckled and said:

"If I heard you right, you said you paid for it. Now I'm asking you to give me some charity. Why are you dragging him into this?"

As they spoke, Noah and the others understood Chen Cheng's intentions. They weighed their weapons in their hands and glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the places in the town where people were lying in ambush.

Seeing that things were going to get complicated today, Martin could only say with a bitter face:

"Then please don't find it offensive, sir."

Then he looked at the old butler and said:

"Hurry up and arrange guest rooms for these gentlemen to rest."

The old steward was quite loyal; he even looked at his former lord, wanting to hear what he had to say.

The bloated, fat man had already silently vowed not to mention him, but now that he saw everyone looking at him, he cursed the butler inwardly for being inconsiderate, and then pointed at the butler and said:

"Why are you looking at me? The castle now belongs to Martin and the lords. Just do as they tell you to do."

Then this guy looked at Chen Cheng and the others with a sycophantic expression.

Judging from this guy's bloated and fat appearance, it's clear he's exploited the people outside. If Chen Cheng didn't want to expose his identity, he would have killed him long ago.

However, even if he can't be killed, he should still be taught a lesson.

"What are you still doing here? Get out of here right now!"

This guy thought Chen Cheng wanted him to leave, and he immediately wanted to leave with the butler. However, Chen Cheng just grunted and said:

"Don't you understand what you just said? This place has nothing to do with you anymore. I don't want you still staying in this castle while I'm staying here, so get out."

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Looks like you're going back on your word?"

As he spoke, Chen Cheng was about to draw his knife.

This guy was really afraid of dying, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger and slowly shuffle out of the castle gate.

With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut by Lei Li alone.

It's currently winter, and being in the north, the temperature is even colder.

He had plenty of heating in the castle before, but now that he's outside, the biting wind has made him shiver.

He pushed the gate, but it didn't budge. Then he turned around and saw that the entire town was desolate, with not a single pedestrian in sight.

Regardless of how much this guy cursed Chen Cheng and his group, Chen Cheng and his party arrived at the castle's main hall.

Chen Cheng, without any hesitation, plopped down in the main seat and gulped down the tea in front of him.

After he had finished drinking, Chen Cheng turned to Martin and said:

“This northern land is barren. You assassins need to be supported. Coming here to the north won’t earn you enough to cover your expenses.”

Chen Cheng's main purpose in coming here was to ask this so-called "elder" for information, but now, he's ended up encountering a deacon from an assassin's alliance.

The information he has is much more detailed than what I could find out if I went into the city myself.

When Martin heard Chen Cheng ask about it, he smiled and said:

"Does Your Excellency not know about these recent major events?"

Chen Cheng crossed his legs, tapped the table, and said:

"Don't try to fool me. My brothers and sisters have been spending the last half month in the woods working on our assessment tasks. How would we know about this big deal you're talking about?"

Chen Cheng's answer was not unexpected by Martin. After all, although the recent events had not yet become common knowledge, they had already caused quite a stir, and who among those of certain status and position did not know about them?

Unless it's like what Chen Cheng said, that they were in a deserted place and had just returned.

Of course, when it comes to intelligence, Martin also has his own professional ethics. After all, their assassin alliance can't afford to support those high-level assassins by taking on assassin missions. The real money comes from intelligence trading.

So he rubbed his hands together and made a gesture as if asking for money.

Chen Cheng wasn't angry about this. He smiled, then tossed out a bag of gold coins and said:

“I’m not breaking the rules, the money’s all here. But if you dare to hide anything, when I get back and find out, I’ll make sure you assassins never rest until you’re done with me.”

After saying that, Chen Cheng forcefully threw a bag of gold coins at Martin.

That's quite a bit of force; one wrong move and you could break bones and tendons.

Martin was sent here by the assassins' alliance, so he must have some skills. He accepted the money with an air of nonchalance.

He weighed the money bag in his hand, and the amount was indeed correct. Then he began to tell Chen Cheng about all the major events that had happened in the past two weeks.

First, there was the shock caused by Chen Cheng condensing his divine spark, and then there was the matter of the Northern Border being sealed off by the Great Wall overnight.

At the same time, this also involves the movements of other major powers and kingdoms, as well as the list of reclusive demigod-level powerhouses that was revealed because of Chen Cheng's ascension to godhood.

It can be said that the major events that have occurred in the past half month are greater than those that have occurred in the previous hundred years, especially since each of them involves Chen Cheng himself.

"Oh, no wonder I was stunned by the light in the sky that day, it was flashing all sorts of colors."

Chen Cheng said, feigning understanding.

"So, according to you, such a big thing happened in the Northern Territory, and those kingdoms didn't make a move at all? Don't try to fool me."

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes and said.

Martin shook his head upon hearing this and said:

"There really hasn't been any movement at all, at least that's the information we've received so far."

Although Chen Cheng looked incredulous after hearing this, his heart sank.

Only Chen Cheng himself knew that they could remain indifferent even when such a major event occurred in the Northern Border.

This means that they must have something more important to do in this session of the House of Representatives, and that this matter is even more important than his joining forces with the Wall Army to take over the entire North.

Moreover, there is an extremely important point: after he became a god, none of these great kingdoms officially mobilized to search for him, the first person in thousands of years to become a god.

All these signs indicate that these major kingdoms are preparing a major plan, one that is big enough to compensate for the loss of a newly ascended god and the entire Northern Territory.
