Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

The outskirts of Pis City, a place that stinks and makes people unwilling to step into.

That is where Pis City's garbage is concentrated, in order to deal with the outbreak of war and to relieve the meat shield of foreign forces attacking the central city.

Many years ago, when the plague broke out in the outskirts, the only measure taken by the nobles of Pis City was to light a fire and let the flames spread, which lasted for three days and three nights.

This is what Hao Ren told Lin Yi and Zhang Cheng when they first entered Pis City.

But in addition to what Hao Ren said, the outskirts of Pis City are actually more terrible.

The fire that year was not enough to make the plague disappear. After all, the source of the plague was the extremely harsh living environment in the outskirts.

However, just after the fire, people living in the outskirts actually showed a strange mutation-they coexisted with the plague.

This "coexistence" does not mean that people in the outskirts can control the plague, nor are they immune to the plague.

They just became more numb, so that they could not feel the pain brought by the problem, and they really merged with the harsh environment in the outskirts.

The people living there may no longer be called "people".

Nowadays, the people living there can no longer think like normal people. What is left is only the most primitive nature, a creature between "people" and "beasts".

"In the outer area, even the army of Pease City dare not enter easily."

Pease City, Hermes Manor.

Under the leadership of Rory, Lin Yi and others came to the greenhouse again and met Leohard.

He told Lin Yi about the situation in the outer area and wanted to persuade Lin Yi to give up.

"People who enter the outer area are not only likely to be infected with the plague, but also targeted by the people there, and become their...food." Leohard is still the same as before.

Wearing a dirty nightgown and a sloppy look, but when he mentioned this matter, his face was full of solemnity.

In the outer slums, it is not only the people living there who have mutated, but also the creatures living there.

Like the people living in the outer area, the creatures there seem to have changed and can coexist with the plague.

After discovering Hao Ren's disappearance, Leohard immediately sent people to investigate, but after a long investigation, no clues were found.

It was not until the news came from the people planted by the Salvation Organization in the army of Pease City that Leohard learned the truth of the matter.

"So, the people who attacked Hao Ren were from the army of Pease City?" Lin Yi frowned.

"To be precise, it should be the people of the Gray family, right?" Zhang Cheng looked up at Leohard.

Leohard nodded and continued, "This is why I hope you give up."

Although the outside world sees that Pease City is now jointly controlled by the Gray family and the Ross family, one holds power and the other holds abundant financial resources.

However, in the face of absolute power, financial resources are not worth mentioning at all.

"But why did the Gray family attack us?" Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.

Hao Ren entered Eden City as a Kuwaiti businessman. Logically, the Gray family had no reason to attack Hao Ren.

Zhang Cheng frowned as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he whispered: "Mr. Had, it's not just the people of the Gray family who took action, right?"

"Among them, there are also people from your Ross family!"

"What?!" Lin Yi was a little surprised.

Leohard glanced at Zhang Cheng and nodded slightly.

"This person is your brother, Leotos!"

Zhang Cheng recalled the details of entering the city of Pease. Even if the Gray family knew that the Kuwaiti merchants entered the city of Pease, they would not pay attention to such insignificant things.

Unless someone passed this matter to the Gray family and asked them to take action.

And the only person who could do this was Leohard's brother-Leotos!

"Why did he do this?" Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.

"Why else?" Zhang Cheng guessed it, "Of course, it is to grasp all the movements of his 'beloved' brother, to see if his 'long-cherished' brother is secretly planning something, such as-"

"Compete with him for the inheritance of the Ross family!"

"Mr. Zhang Cheng, you are really smart." Leohard sighed.

As Zhang Cheng said, the inheritance of the Ross family originally belonged to Leohard.

However, in order to obtain the inheritance of the family and to control the world's largest Shenrui Bank, Leotos and the Gray family seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

And Leotos' wife is from the Gray family.

Leohard's father was opposed to this most powerful family marriage in Pis City.

He knew the ambitions of the Gray family. They didn't care about the Ross family at all. What they cared about was Shenrui Bank.

But a few days later, Leohard's father suddenly fell ill and was sent to the "sanatorium" by Leotos without Leohard knowing.

"If he wanted to inherit the family, why didn't Leotos just kill your father?" An Chengdao was a little curious.

Logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to just kill your father and seize power? Why did he go to so much trouble to pretend to be sick and imprison him?

"It's not that easy to become the real heir of the family." Jiang Chen glanced at Leohard and sighed, "To become the heir, in addition to getting the approval of the previous person in power, you must also get the approval of other family members and the token passed down from generation to generation in the family."

"If the previous person in power suddenly passes away, then the person who gets the token and gets half the support of the family can become the new person in power."

"The reason why Leotos didn't take action directly is because he doesn't meet any of these requirements."

"Once their father dies, it will be Uncle Had who will become the person in power of the Ross family."

"So, you are like this now?" Lin Yi understood and looked up at Leohard.

"I am deeply sorry for what happened to Mr. Hao Ren. After all, I am to blame." Leohard bowed with an apologetic look on his face.

"Stop!" Zhang Cheng waved his hand, "I said that this happened because Lin Yi and I insisted on coming to Pease City, so it has nothing to do with you."

"I am not interested in your family's affairs."

Zhang Cheng continued: "Thank you very much for telling us about Hao Ren. Goodbye!"

After that, Lin Yi and the other two prepared to leave.

"Are you still not going to give up?" Leohard frowned.

"Give up?" Zhang Cheng snorted, "Sorry, there is no such word in my dictionary!"
