Chapter 682: City Lord Horton

Everyone in the room heard the sound and turned around to see that Lord Holden accidentally broke the tea cup.

They immediately turned their heads back. After all, it was a very embarrassing thing for the city lord to accidentally break the cup, and he couldn't keep staring at it.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

These officials looked at Zhang Xing at the door, and one of them said with a cold expression.

"You don't know me?"

Zhang Xing said strangely.

Except for Holden and Jer, who opened the door, everyone else in the room was new.

As the saying goes, once the emperor is the emperor, all the officials in the city lord's palace will be replaced by his cronies as soon as he takes office.

These people were all recruited from his family's business houses in various cities, so there was no chance of him getting to know Zhang Xing.

"Know you? Who do you think you are? The city lord is in a meeting, get out!"

An official said disdainfully, now that Lord Horton is the boss here, they naturally don't have to give face to anyone else.

"Where did you come from, little bastard? This is the city lord's palace. Don't you know you can't break in? Ask the guards to drive him out."

"Jer, go and call the guard captain and ask him if he still wants to do it?"

"Boy, what's your name? Which family do you belong to? Let me take care of you later..."

"Bah bang bang!"

Before the official finished speaking, Holden stepped forward and slapped him three times, plus a kick.

Plop!

The official fell to the ground, covered his red and swollen face with both hands, and looked at the city lord in confusion.

Why are you hitting me? Going crazy! I didn't do anything wrong!

I felt so aggrieved that I wanted to cry.

Looking at the Lord Horton, he didn't give up yet. He slapped and kicked the people who just spoke.

"How outrageous! How dare you be disrespectful to Mr. Zhang? I've had enough of life, and I want to die, right?"

Holden said panting and sweating profusely.

"Master Zhang? Which Master Zhang?"

They were racking their brains, but they didn't think of any Master Zhang in the Starry Sky Empire who could make Lord Horton take him so seriously.

Oh no! It should be said that it is fear, or the kind of death fear.

Holden didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his face, straightened his clothes, put on a flattering smile on his face, and bowed to meet the nobles.

"Haha! Mr. Zhang didn't even notify you when he came back, so I could go and greet you in person!"

"This city lord has just taken office. Although he is busy with official duties, he must receive you as soon as possible when you come, and other matters must be put aside."

When Holden thought about it, Zhang Xing was once his student, so there was no need to be humble and he could just treat him as an equal.

As for why Zhang Xing is alive, he plans to ask again later.

Let’s talk a few common words first to lighten the atmosphere.

Although Zhang Xing is the city lord, that is already a thing of the past.

He was afraid that Zhang Xing would go crazy and beat someone regardless of Thirty-Twenty-One.

"My city lord? Who gave the order?"

Zhang Xing walked into the room and said coldly.

This mentor who once hacked him actually also took a fancy to the big cake of Bauhinia City, and his mobility is quite strong.

"This... is the unanimous decision of the Presbyterian Council to appoint me to take your place."

Holden looked at Zhang Xing nervously, and cold sweat broke out again.

I haven’t seen Zhang Xing for more than a year. His aura is too strong.

Just two sentences of dialogue made him feel stressed and had difficulty breathing.

The rumors about Zhang Xing made his ears calloused.

He didn't want to hear it, but everywhere he went there was talk about Zhang Xing, and it was hard not to listen.

"Why don't I know? Take your people back and ask if the Presbyterian Council made a mistake."

"Or you heard me wrong, okay, you can go."

Zhang Xing waved his hand, walked to the city lord's seat and sat down.
