Xia Na was staring in awe beside her, drooling over the sight. Such a stunning beauty, paired with that kind of sexy attire, perfectly accentuated An Nishang's allure.

Chen Che personally slipped red high heels onto those black silk feet.

The agitation brought by Luo Qingtian had long been swept away, replaced by an uncontrollable excitement.

He was already impatient for the banquet to end.

Leaving Xia Na alone in the villa, An Nishang proactively looped her arm around Chen Che's and walked out of the villa together.

The two dogs were so astonished by An Nishang's appearance that they became stupefied.

Once they snapped out of it, they quickly backed away, not daring to take another glance.

As Chen Che and Nishang got into the car to head to the location of the banquet, An Nishang slowly opened her mouth to ask, "How's the fight with Luo Qingtian going? I received some news which isn't favorable; he's captured someone from the Apocalypse Society, seemingly intending to use that person against you."

Chen Che placed his hand unapologetically on An Nishang's thigh, kneading through the thin black silk, and smiled as he said, "No worries, Nishang, I can handle it. If I can't even deal with someone like Luo Qingtian… what right do I have to make you kneel before me?"

Upon hearing this, An Nishang's red lips curled into a seductive arc, matching her attire perfectly, causing Chen Che's breath to quicken.

An Nishang stretched lazily, prompting Chen Che to hug her waist, pulling her close and leaving marks on her delicate collarbone and white jade neck.

An Nishang didn't mind the love marks on her collarbone and neck, knowing that Chen Che did it on purpose, wanting to assert his sovereignty in front of others.

For Chen Che, she granted such an honor, giving him the rights he should enjoy.

Seeing Chen Che somewhat distressed, An Nishang whispered softly by his ear, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"With a great beauty like you by my side, how can I hold back? I don't know if I can endure past this banquet… No worries, even if I can't, I have to."

"Want me to help you out?"

(If you can't read, just recognize it (・︡ω・︠))

Chen Che raised his eyebrows, gave a dry cough, and said, "Can we? Or should we just forget it?"

"You're the one who said so."

Seeing that An Nishang genuinely had no intention to help him anymore, Chen Che got anxious, grabbed An Nishang's chin, brushed his fingers over the vivid red lips, and chuckled:

"I'll just hold back a bit."

"Help me out…"

…

Chen Che looked out the window, thinking about everything regarding Luo Qingtian and the Apocalypse Society, exhaling a deep breath.

Since Luo Qingtian wants to play, he'll play along with him.

He wanted to see who could outplay whom in this game with Luo Qingtian.

Chen Che stroked An Nishang's smooth long hair.

Softly spoke to An Nishang, who was helping out, "Nishang, I heard you suffered at his hands too; watch me avenge you."

An Nishang's red lips curved slightly.

Chen Che closed his eyes and lifted his head.

…

Finally arriving at the banquet.

Located at a manor in the Upper City District.

In any era, there's a fundamental gap between the rich and the poor.

The poor toil over their small room's lodging tax, straining themselves to the limit.

Yet, the rich can own a sprawling manor in this safe zone.

As An Nishang stepped out of the car, she instantly drew countless gazes.

Whether it was her stunning beauty or her sexy camisole, it captivated everyone present.

Most eye-catching was the lace strap wrapped around the long legs beneath her dress hem.

Stockings were something that hadn't appeared even in the Upper City District.

They may look simple, but the requirements for light industry were quite complex.

They required precise knitting machines.

The light industry in the Wasteland could produce socks akin to stockings, but compared to the lace garter stockings on An Nishang's legs, the quality was noticeably inferior.

The stockings on the perfect, long legs shimmered under the light.

In that moment, it captured innumerable gazes.

Whether it was women or men's eyes, all were drawn to the stockings on An Nishang's legs.

Women found it beautiful, while men found it enticing.

Regardless of the reason, it made An Nishang the center of attention for an instant.

Already a stunning woman with the title of Judicial Bureau Director, one of the most powerful political figures in the Ninth Special Zone.

On all fronts, An Nishang was nothing short of perfect, drawing all eyes.

In particular, Xu Ziang, who was also at this banquet, had his eyes fixed intently on An Nishang.

The aura emanating from this stunning woman was incredibly alluring to men, and Xu Ziang had already imagined countless scenarios in his mind.

He had previously attended a banquet as An Nishang's male companion.

He knew An Nishang was beautiful, but he never expected her to be as breathtaking as she was today.

After the initial shock and desire, jealousy surged immediately.

This was because a man's hand was gently wrapped around An Nishang's perfect waist; Xu Ziang's attention swiftly shifted to the owner of the hand, Chen Che, who appeared relaxed and at ease, feeling no pressure at such a banquet.

He had already learned the reason for this banquet from An Nishang.

The organizer of this banquet was a Count named Cooper, who had significant influence throughout the Ninth Special Zone; he was one of the earliest founders of the zone.

Vazmir had succeeded Count Cooper as the President of the Council from his hands.

Behind this Count is a deep network and power, so everyone in the Ninth Special Zone shows him respect.

Today is the Count's 99th birthday.

Chen Che was also in disbelief when he heard this.

To live to 99 during the apocalypse is indeed a feat of greatness.

One must know, even some high-level Catastrophes, due to various reasons like competitiveness, living past 60 in this ruthless apocalypse is already quite remarkable.

Like Ten Directions Blade and Hawkeye.

They are considered strong figures in the entire Ninth Special Zone.

Yet, even they didn't die so casually?

To live to 99, as an ordinary person, this Count Cooper is truly a significant figure.

Chen Che also understood that the real movers and shakers aren't necessarily those whose names you know.

Some true figures of power are people whose names you've never heard, but when they want to do something, it's often momentous, with countless others willing to execute their wishes.

They only need to voice an idea, and countless people will do whatever it takes to bring it to fruition, not needing to lift a finger themselves!

Such legendary figures intrigued Chen Che.

Chen Che naturally also sensed the jealousy of others, and with a confident smile, he tightened his grip on An Nishang's waist.

Simultaneously, others could clearly see the striking, vivid kiss marks on the beautiful woman's neck, collarbone, and even further down.

No need to guess who left them.

Chen Che whispered in An Nishang's ear, "Nishang, there's something at your lip corner."

Upon hearing this, An Nishang's tongue flicked to swallow a white residue at the corner of her lips.

That one simple motion captivated countless hearts.

Instantly, many other guests at the banquet approached An Nishang to greet her.

An Nishang raised a glass of champagne with her fair hand, discussing matters with the guests wearing a formal smile.

As An Nishang's companion, Chen Che naturally attracted attention, and those who knew his identity immediately approached to flatter and fawn over him.

Owner of Three Demons, underground godfather of the entire Upper City District, every title loudly announcing that Chen Che was no ordinary pretty boy.

He was a capable pretty boy!!!

Standing not far away, Xu Ziang saw Chen Che's back and was consumed with insane jealousy.

In Xu Ziang's view, the one who should be holding An Nishang like this, who should be blessed like this, ought to be him.

In contrast to Chen Che's rising fame, Xu Ziang has been having a rough time lately.

As the Head of Political Department in the Military Department, sent by Night Empire Headquarters here, he was originally intended to disperse the military's power in Ninth Special Zone.

Simultaneously, with Luo Qingtian's actions, once the power of the entire military was dispersed and transferred, Luo Qingtian would come to Ninth Special Zone, and the two could coordinate.

This plan aimed to weaken the political power in the Ninth Special Zone, allowing the Night Empire to centralize control over it.

Who'd have thought, after Xu Ziang came to Ninth Special Zone for so long, the tasks given by headquarters showed no progress, leading to Luo Qingtian losing patience and actively applying to Night Empire for a command to clear Ninth Special Zone without Xu Ziang's assistance.

Now, Night Empire Headquarters is questioning him, with the Military Department alienating him, making Xu Ziang feel overwhelmed.

Jealousy and rage filled Xu Ziang's head, yet he was helpless, and then he saw another familiar and infuriating figure.

Luo Qingtian.

Luo Qingtian has been gaining considerable fame recently throughout Ninth Special Zone.

He and Chen Che are hailed as the dazzling young twin stars in the Ninth Special Zone.

Luo Qingtian's process of seizing power was much easier, easily grasping control of 1/3 of the Finance Bureau's authority.

Compared to him, Xu Ziang was clearly outmatched.

Xu Ziang even approached Luo Qingtian, seeking cooperation, asking for help to establish himself in the Military Department, but received mocking laughter from Luo Qingtian.

Seeing Luo Qingtian beside another beautiful woman, seemingly named Qin Qingyan, Luo Qingtian's wife, approaching Chen Che and An Nishang.

Xu Ziang, who knew Chen Che and Luo Qingtian were in a power struggle, downed his glass of red wine, his eyes filled with venomous jealousy: "Two bastards, fight on, let's see how long you can fight, hopefully to death and ruin, let's see how you can turn the entire Ninth Special Zone upside down, what heaven you'll raise!"
