Chapter 514: Sudden chaos
No matter the time, humans would find ways to express their superiority. It didn’t matter if the world was sunny or in chaos.
The entire country and the world was a battle between humans and mutated lifeforms. There wasn’t any mercy; there was also killing and blood. They were fighting for the top of the food chain.
Even in the city, many dirty and immoral things were happening.
But this didn’t stop the few people in power from organizing a banquet that could even be called luxurious in peacetime to show off their power.
A beautiful hall, clean servants, delicious food, old wine, elegant music, soft mat… Each could make one forget that they were living in the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming looked at all of this calmly, but his gaze was disdainful.
Was this something an organization that was asking for help should do? What were they showing? Their strength? Their riches?
They just wanted respect. They showed they wanted to ask for help but didn’t want to lower their status.
Although the things in the banquet hall couldn’t be exchanged for much outside, it would be enough to feed a few thousand people for half a month.
Ye Zhongming’s impression of Cloud Port Alliance dropped because of this.
Ye Zhongming attended the banquet with Liang Chuyin. They were informed they couldn’t bring weapons, so they went empty-handed. The influencer hugged his hand. Ye Zhongming had the space equipment, so the weapon was placed there.
Apart from Ye Zhongming, Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng attended too. After all, Cloud Peak wasn’t the only reinforcement. He brought the two of them to reduce suspicion.
The boisterous hall got quiet when the four of them entered.
Even in Cloud Port, where people could often get dozens or even hundreds of crystals quickly, it was eye-catching to see four five-star evolved together.
After Ye Zhongming took the five-star potion, his aura became more discreet unless one had special scouting abilities; if not, they wouldn’t be able to see his true strength.
Liang Chuyin and Zhao Xingmei were both well-stressed. They were already beautiful, and now they looked much better. People used to seeing dirty women were now impressed when they saw two clean-looking beauties.
The women in the banquet were bright but not as good-looking as the two.
Many people walked over. In the center were the five leaders of Cloud Port Alliance. The leader was energized and smiled from afar.
“Mr Ye, hello, are you used to staying here?”
Ye Zhongming shook hands with this old fellow, and the other four came to greet him. This was the second time that they met.
“Let me introduce; these few are friends that rushed here to help. This is Huan City Ancestor Defense Team’s Liu Zong; this is South Tang Town’s defender, Duan Fei, God Stealing Squad’s boss Ling Ye…”
Meng Xiangjiang introduced a dozen leaders one by one. They were quite strong; most were five-star, and some were four-star.
Based on Ah Yang’s intel, they discussed joining hands to get more interest. Meng Xiangjiang introduced the few leaders first for some reason and used this method to hint that he knew many things.
After the introduction, everyone moved towards the banquet hall, but after two steps, they noticed that Meng Xiangjiang didn’t move.
Everyone turned their heads and didn’t know what he was doing. It looked like he was waiting for someone.
The five leaders and the other four members frowned. Was someone else coming? Why didn’t we know?
Footsteps spread from outside, and it was very orderly. Ye Zhongming frowned.
Just the footsteps alone told him that it was a well-trained army.
Nine people appeared, and the leader was around 30. He stood straight, and behind him were two people, a guy and a girl. The guy was very tall, and the two-meter-tall him stood out in the hall. That female’s face was ice cold, but her looks and body weren’t weaker than Liang Chuyin and Zhao Xingmei.
The six people following them were lined up.
“Guang Yao, you are here; we were waiting for you.”
Meng Xiangjiang smiled, and his attitude was warmer than when he welcomed Ye Zhongming.
“Uncle Jiang.”
The leading guy smiled, and after nodding to Meng Xiangjiang, he looked over this old man and at the people behind him.
“Let me introduce; this is Guang Yao, my good friend's son. Everyone should look out for one another. He came to help Cloud Port Alliance so we can get closer.”
The others were polite and greeted Guang Yao. He recognized that this was a six-star evolved. Since they had the same goal, having someone so strong was good.
The goal of the banquet was not just eating. Once everyone was here, the negotiations began.
The reinforcements wouldn’t help for nothing. They had to decide how much they were to be paid. It was best to be clear rather than brush across it.
Their men left, and only 20 people remained. These were the stars of today.
“Let’s be direct; I know your requests, and after careful thinking, while thanking all of you for coming to help, there are some objections that we have to discuss.”
Shi Yang saw Meng Xiangjiang holding his glass and not speaking. He started it off politely.
Many people, including Ye Zhongming, knew the main show was here.
When everyone considered getting the best rewards, Guang Yao smiled and attracted everyone’s attention.
“There is nothing to discuss. Helping Cloud Port Alliance is like helping ourselves. Since that is the case, it is too low to discuss payment. I suggest building an alliance army to face the beast wave.”
After hearing Guang Yao’s words, many expressions changed. One of the leaders was hot-tempered and interrupted, “Kid, you want us to work for free? Who are you even?!”
Guang Yao was not angry and spun the glass in his hands, “Remember, I will only say this once. I am Sky Elephant Division’s Guang Yao; those who don’t listen can all die.”
The wine splashed towards the person who spoke it. At the same time, there were loud sounds in the banquet hall, outside the city, Cloud Port City!
