"What does Gao Zhengyang mean by this? Why did he take so long to meet us?"
Zhang Zhengyi frowned slightly and complained to He Guofeng in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Zhengyi's sword-like eyebrows were long and black, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were bright. Although he was over sixty years old, his spirit and bearing were like that of a thirty year old.
He was dressed in a well-tailored British-style suit, which made him look even more elegant and refined, giving him the demeanor of a domineering CEO.
As the executive member of the Asian Arbitration Committee, Zhang Zhengyi was an S-class expert from the Dao Sect. However, the Dao Sect's inheritance was complicated, and there were many internal factions. Although they were strong, they did not have a unified organization.
Zhang Zhengyi was actually one of the people in charge of the Longhu Gang.
The Longhu Gang was actually a peripheral organization of Daoism. However, as Daoism gradually lost power, the Longhu Gang became stronger instead. After a few hundred years of accumulation, the Dragon Tiger Gang had become one of the largest Transcendent organizations in the Federation.
The Dragon Tiger Gang had a huge influence on the Federation Government and the various Prefectures. Their representative had even served two terms as the Federation President.
As one of the people in charge of the Dragon Tiger Gang, Zhang Zhengyi naturally had high standards. Although Gao Zhengyang was the youngest S-class powerhouse in history with an impressive battle record, he did not feel that Gao Zhengyang was qualified to be on equal footing with him.
What made him even more dissatisfied was that Gao Zhengyang only showed up on the third day. If it weren't for the fact that the matter was too important, he would have left in a huff.
He Guofeng, on the other hand, was very calm as he consoled, "Although Gao Zhengyang is young, he is very experienced. If he didn't want to see me, he would have rejected me directly. He wouldn't have done something so pointless. "
On the Peter the Great, He Guofeng and Gao Zhengyang had only interacted twice. The entire process did not take more than an hour. However, He Guofeng had a deep understanding of Gao Zhengyang in this short period of time.
This was the youngest S-class expert in history. Although he was overbearing and ostentatious, he had his own way of doing things, and his thoughts were as deep as the sea. He definitely couldn't be treated as a child.
Zhang Zhengyi trusted He Guofeng's judgment. To be able to become an S-class expert at the age of seventeen, he should not be underestimated no matter what. The dissatisfaction on his face was more to test He Guofeng.
After all, He Guofeng was a member of Donghuang.
Donghuang was an organization that emerged in the late Qing Dynasty with the goal of reviving China. Donghuang believed that those who were not of the same race would have different intentions. They were extremely hostile towards the Outsiders.
Donghuang's contribution to the rise of the Federation was undeniable. But with the development of the economy, the world situation was gradually easing. Donghuang's path was rather radical. It could be said that they were on the left and right of the Longhu Gang, completely different people.
This time, the Arbitration Committee entrusted the two of them to look for Gao Zhengyang together, which was also the result of the power struggle between the two sides.
Otherwise, He Guofeng had interacted with Gao Zhengyang before and even had some friendship with him. There was no need for Zhang Zhengyi to appear.
An S-class powerhouse who had suddenly risen to prominence and had a simple background, it was only natural that the various organizations would try their best to rope him in. Most importantly, Gao Zhengyang was so young. His power still had room to grow.
Such a genius expert was even more attractive. If it wasn't for Middle Heaven Ninja's declaration of war, things would have become very complicated. The experts from the other major organizations had already arrived.
Zhang Zhengyi was here to recruit Gao Zhengyang into the Longhu Gang. But before that, he had to settle the matter of Middle Heaven Ninja.
Otherwise, even if Gao Zhengyang could kill Middle Heaven Ninja, he wouldn't be able to leave Japan alive.
Zhang Zhengyi had detailed information on Gao Zhengyang and had a preliminary understanding of Gao Zhengyang. But after all, he had not met Gao Zhengyang before, which was why he said this to He Guofeng.
Of course, He Guofeng also knew what Zhang Zhengyi meant. But there was no need to hide these words. Gao Zhengyang's personality was too distinct. He could come to a conclusion within a few minutes of meeting. It wouldn't make any difference whether he said it or not.
He Guofeng felt that with Gao Zhengyang's domineering personality, he definitely wouldn't like the Longhu Gang's amicable style.
"Old He, what's the relationship between Gao Zhengyang and Lei Peng? Why are they so close?"
Zhang Zhengyi was also very curious about this. According to the information, Gao Zhengyang didn't even know Lei Peng before coming to Zhonghai. How did the two meet? Their relationship was very close.
Lei Peng even killed a few senior members of the Thousand Sails Gang for Gao Zhengyang. He even gave Yunyue Bay to Gao Zhengyang.
He Guofeng shook his head. "I don't know."
Lei Peng was too old. By the time he became an S-class Overlord, Lei Peng would have already retired behind the scenes. He had only met Lei Peng once at the 50th anniversary of the Arbitration Committee.
He knew nothing about the relationship between Lei Peng and Gao Zhengyang.
As the two were talking, their expressions suddenly changed. They felt the aura of a powerful Overlord approaching from outside.
After a while, Lei Ming opened the door of the living room and led Lei Peng and Gao Zhengyang in.
Lei Peng was too old. Although he was old and no longer as strong as he used to be, he was still a senior. But he was still a senior. He Guofeng and Zhang Zhengyi stood up from afar to greet them.
"Greetings, Old Lei."
"Old Lei is full of energy. You look younger than a few years ago …"
Zhang Zhengyi had interacted with Lei Peng a few times, so he spoke to him more affectionately.
However, Zhang Zhengyi wasn't just flattering Lei Peng. Today, Lei Peng's eyes were bright, and his steps were full of vigor. He didn't look old at all.
Compared to a few years ago, he seemed to be 20 years younger.
Zhang Zhengyi sized Lei Peng up, feeling a little doubtful. This old man couldn't have come up with some Viagra, right?
In fact, any medicine would have side effects. At Lei Peng's age, his lifespan was almost up. Any medicine that stimulated his vitality would only speed up the consumption of his life force, which was harmful.
Given Lei Peng's intelligence, he naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing. If he didn't borrow external force, how could Lei Peng have the energy he had now?
He Guofeng had the same doubts about this. He exchanged glances with Zhang Zhengyi, both of them inquiring.
Lei Peng's special change made the two S-class Overlords curious. Normally, the minimum age limit for an S-class Overlord was 55 years old.
After becoming an S-class Overlord, most could live for 40 to 50 years. However, every S-class Overlord felt that their lifespan was too short.
In recent years, biological science had been developing, and there had been many breakthroughs in the study of human life. However, there hadn't been any breakthroughs in the study of human lifespan.
According to modern life science, genes determined that human lifespan couldn't exceed 150 years. This was also the theoretical limit of human lifespan.
In reality, inhaling secondhand smoke, eating unsuitable food, exercising in the wrong way, or even having a bad mood would speed up the consumption of a human's lifespan.
In theory, to reach 150 years of lifespan, one had to fulfill many extremely harsh conditions.
S-class Overlords could increase their strength and accelerate the evolution of life. On the other hand, powerful strength would also accelerate the consumption of life.
Up until now, the number of S-class Overlords who had lived past 100 years could be counted on one hand. The reason Lei Peng was able to live so long was also due to the rapid economic development of the Federation. S-class Overlords were all busy making money, so no one could casually make a move.
Lei Peng had also been able to cultivate and recuperate during these 20 years, which was why he was still alive and kicking. This was also the direct result of the advancement of the times.
If Lei Peng could break through the limit of life, it would be a blessing for S-class Overlords. Even He Guofeng and Zhang Zhengyi, who were still considered young, were very concerned about this.
Lei Peng naturally knew what the two Overlords were thinking. However, his current state was completely dependent on Gao Zhengyang's help. He wouldn't say much, nor did he want to share it with anyone.
He smiled and greeted, "Guofeng, Zhengyi, it's been a few years since we last met."
After a pause, he took the initiative to introduce Gao Zhengyang. "Guofeng, you've already met him. This is Zhang Zhengyi, also an executive member of the Asian Arbitration Committee, as well as the vice president of the Dragon Tiger Gang."
Gao Zhengyang nodded slightly. Regardless of what the two of them were here for, since they had waited for three days, he had to be polite out of basic etiquette.
He Guofeng's solemn expression softened slightly, and he expressed kindness and closeness to Gao Zhengyang.
Zhang Zhengyi was even more enthusiastic. He walked up to Gao Zhengyang and took the initiative to extend his hand. "You're even more handsome and upright than in the photos. How enviable."
Gao Zhengyang was dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans. He didn't look any different from an ordinary youth. However, the spirited expression on his face left a deep impression on others. Especially his bright yet firm gaze, as if nothing could shake it.
Standing in front of Gao Zhengyang, Zhang Zhengyi even felt somewhat stifled. This unique temperament couldn't be expressed in any photos. He had originally underestimated Gao Zhengyang, but he had to admit that Gao Zhengyang was strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Gao Zhengyang reached out and shook Zhang Zhengyi's hand. "You're also very handsome."
He wasn't flattering him. Zhang Zhengyi was handsome and mature, and his British-style attire gave him the elegance of a modern gentleman. At the same time, he also had a bit of hippie laziness.
In terms of appearance, Zhang Zhengyi was undoubtedly the most outstanding among them.
Lei Peng said, "Come in and sit."
Lei Ming was very tactful. After serving tea and drinks, he took the initiative to leave without anyone saying anything.
When the door to the living room was closed, He Guofeng said to Gao Zhengyang, "Zhengyang, the Arbitration Committee is paying special attention to the challenge that Ninja Zhongtian issued to you."
Zhang Zhengyi cooperated and said, "Ninja Zhongtian doesn't have long to live. That's why he has his eyes on you. He wants to use his old life to kill the youngest S-rank expert in history … "
Zhang Zhengyi was much more eloquent than He Guofeng. After he briefly introduced the situation of Ninja Zhongtian, he helped Gao Zhengyang analyze the situation.
"Ninja Zhongtian's move is very vicious. He has two S-rank disciples and is on good terms with most of the other Japanese experts. Even if you win this battle, you'll become a mortal enemy of the entire Japanese transcendent world! "
As Zhang Zhengyi spoke, he glanced at Gao Zhengyang. Seeing that Gao Zhengyang's expression was calm and indifferent, Zhang Zhengyi was secretly surprised.
Ninja Zhongtian's move was very vicious. He used the challenge to drag Gao Zhengyang into a dead end. Whether he won or lost, Gao Zhengyang was dead for sure.
This move was very shameless! Of course, this move was only effective because of Ninja Zhongtian's special status. If it was any other S-rank expert, it definitely wouldn't be effective.
For example, if Shigeaki Miyamoto was killed, the benefits he held would be given up. The other Japanese S-rank powerhouses would not even have the time to snicker at him. Who would think of avenging him?
Gao Zhengyang was actually able to remain calm in the face of certain death. Even if he was pretending, his shrewdness was still very impressive.
Zhang Zhengyi secretly adjusted his tone, and there was a hint of sincerity on his face. "This is a dead end, but there's no need for us to take it seriously with an old man lying in a coffin. Give him a step, and the world will be bright! "
The internal structure of the Asian Arbitration Committee was led by the Federation and Japan. This time, the Japanese executive committee joined forces to put pressure on the Federation. They claimed that if this matter was not resolved, it would destroy the friendship between the Federation and Japan.
There were many factions in the Arbitration Committee, such as the Hindustanis, the Koreans, and the Indians. They were all very powerful. The conflict between the Federation and Japan was very likely to end in a lose-lose situation.
The slightest mistake might even cause the Asian Arbitration Committee to split.
Therefore, the executive committee of the Federation hoped that Gao Zhengyang could take a step back. Apologizing was indeed very embarrassing, but it wasn't a big deal.
At Gao Zhengyang's age, it wasn't a big deal for him to apologize to a Ninja. Everyone could understand!
Of course, this was also because Gao Zhengyang lacked a foundation, and no one was willing to stand up for him. Facing the strong pressure from Japan, even the Federation chose to retreat.
Zhang Zhengyi wouldn't explain this. He mainly talked about the pros and cons and helped Gao Zhengyang analyze the current situation.
"If you apologize and admit your mistake, you'll have to suffer a lot. However, being able to jump out of this dead end is a victory. Moreover, you'll be making a huge contribution to the Federation. It won't be in vain! "
In order to convince Gao Zhengyang, Zhang Zhengyi used emotion and reason. In the end, he even promised that all the executive committee of the Federation would remember everything.
He Guofeng nodded. He also hoped that Gao Zhengyang would agree to this. He had a good relationship with Gao Zhengyang, and he really wanted to rope this young man in.
He couldn't help with this matter. Apologizing and admitting his mistake was the best solution.
Lei Peng was silent at the side. He was inclined to apologize and admit his mistake, but he couldn't casually express his stance. Gao Zhengyang had a strong personality. He had his own decisions, and it was useless for others to say anything.
However, this matter was still particularly tricky. It depended on how Gao Zhengyang weighed the pros and cons.
Facing the bright eyes of the three powerhouses, Gao Zhengyang nodded slightly. "I understand …"
Zhang Zhengyi and He Guofeng were a little confused. They said so much, but Gao Zhengyang only said 'I understand'. What did that mean?
Gao Zhengyang didn't want to continue chatting. He stood up and waved his phone. "I haven't seen you for more than a month. My girlfriend is urging me to go over quickly. I'll be leaving first … "
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang was about to leave, Zhang Zhengyi couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"You can't help me apologize, nor will you help me draw a sword and kill someone."
Gao Zhengyang walked out without looking back. He said leisurely, "So, you don't have to worry about this matter."
His words were very blunt. He Guofeng and Zhang Zhengyi were a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Lei Peng gestured to He Guofeng and Zhang Zhengyi, indicating that they should sit first. He quickly walked out of the living room and caught up with Gao Zhengyang, walking side by side with him.
He said seriously, "Ninja Central knew that he would die, so he played this trick. Zhengyang, you only need one Blood God Pill to make him repent! "
Lei Peng believed that Ninja Central didn't want to die either. The magical effect of the Blood God Pill would definitely make him obedient.
To be honest, Lei Peng didn't want to share the Blood God Pill with others. But he didn't want anything to happen to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang asked Lei Peng with a faint smile, "If I insist on fighting Ninja Central, what will you say?"
Lei Peng's old face showed hesitation. After a moment of silence, he said decisively, "I'll go with you."
"Hahaha …"
Gao Zhengyang was very satisfied with Lei Peng's decisiveness. This old man was a sensible person after all. If he died, Lei Peng would only live a few more years. Only if he was alive could Lei Peng have hope of breaking through the limits of life.
At this critical moment, this old man made a bold decision. Of course, Lei Peng was willing to accompany him, but he might not be willing to fight with Gao Zhengyang. These were two different things.
