They wanted to do what they wanted to do, and what they could do.
However, not everyone was like that. People like Scarlet and the others weren't that "willful". They still needed to socialize like normal people, not only for themselves, but also for Tianjing Academy. After all, this was a rare opportunity for them and Tianjing Academy. It was even more so for people like Lily and the others. It was only natural for people to dislike them. Indeed, Tianjing wasn't strong enough. However, it would be good if they could leave an impression on some experts. At the very least, they had come here.
However, the combat prowess of Wang Zhong, Emily and Barran's group was truly astonishing. Although the members of the other squadrons might be fine, they still had to care about their face and etiquette. Although they felt that the meat was delicious, they would be too embarrassed to take it a second time. However, Barran didn't care about that. He immediately gave his brother 5 portions … despite Barran's large build, there were a few people here that were larger than him. Nevertheless, they all took small bites in a refined manner.
The surrounding people were already dumbfounded by the situation Wang Zhong and the others were in. Whispering incessantly into each other's ears, they took it as a matter of course upon knowing that they were from Tianjing.
Emily and Barran were simple-minded and didn't care about their gazes. However, Wang Zhong could see and feel them. Every time he encountered such gazes, he would always feel like laughing. Why were some people always able to find a sense of existence in such situations?
He thought of Aioros and Mu Zi. Aioros was at most in his twenties, while Mu Zi looked even younger than him. However, their strength was absolutely unreachable within the Federation. However, the stronger a person was, the more realistic they would be.
"Cough cough. Captain, do you want to eat …" Barran's gaze was clearly on Wang Zhong's plate, causing a certain someone to be distracted. In the next second, Wang Zhong stuffed a fragrant and fragrant cube of beef into his mouth. The outside was crispy and golden, while the inside was soft and juicy. What's more, it melted in his mouth. He had truly never imagined that beef could be this delicious. Copperfield beef truly lived up to its reputation. Furthermore, he could clearly feel that it was brimming with energy. What a good thing! After carefully savoring it with the special barbecue sauce and a cup of refreshing and delicious highland fruit and vegetable juice, he felt as though his realm of life had been elevated to a higher level.
Student Sully appeared with a smile on his face, a glass of red wine in his hand. He had been chatting with the others and hadn't noticed the group from Tianjing Academy. However, when he turned his head, he saw Wang Zhong leading an adult and child as though they hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes. They had completely lost all face for Tianjing. They were clearly the last batch to sneak into this group training, yet they didn't even realize it!
If it was a normal person with a brain, the lowest ranked squadron would have automatically taken on the responsibility of serving the other squadrons, including serving tea and flattering them. This was the attitude of the weak. Yet, Tianjing Academy had made it seem as though they were guests.
"Captain Wang Zhong, you didn't even greet us when you arrived." Sully walked over in a friendly manner and said with a smile, "I was just talking to a few of my friends about captain Wang Zhong. Just what did you do to captain Laura to make her so angry?"
"Are we that close? Don't you know that it's rude to disturb others while they're eating?" Emily said.
Sully was naturally aware of Emily's identity. Although he didn't like her tone, he had always given in to her due to his status. However, this lass really thought too highly of herself. "Haha. Miss Emily, you seem to be treating this place as Saint Mongul City. Where's your aristocratic etiquette? Did the Assassin Family not teach you anything? Or perhaps, after arriving at Tianjing, you've lowered your standards to the same level as Tianjing." “
Naturally, there were quite a few people present who had some status. A portion of them could faintly guess that Emily's talent was average and wasn't looked upon favorably by the Assassin Family. That was why she had been allowed to do as she pleased.
Emily's face turned red. Standing beside her, Wang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Sir Chairman Sully, I'll report your evaluation of Tianjing to the academy. I never imagined that we would have such a great figure like you participating in this group training. In your eyes, Tianjing isn't even worth a single cent!"
It was a pity that Ma Dong wasn't present. If not, he would be able to kill Sully. Having learned a few moves from Ma Dong, Wang Zhong naturally wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Sully gawked and gave a few dry coughs. He knew that he had gone overboard with his acting, but he didn't care too much about it. So what if Tianjing was unhappy with him?
"Captain Wang Zhong must be joking. Is this your first time participating in an elite training class?" Said Sully with a smile. "Actually, a party like tonight's has been a tradition in previous training classes. Our group of students isn't the main focus. The main focus is those in the great hall."
With a deep meaning in his words, he pointed towards the brightly lit great hall. With a chuckle, he said, "With captain Laura's face, those present will definitely be the true upper echelons of Copperfield City. If we can befriend a few more of them, it'll be very beneficial to our future development." Looking at the steak on Wang Zhong's plate, he said in a friendly manner, "Haha. I suggest that captain Wang Zhong doesn't eat too much. If the captain and vice-captain of the various squadrons were to go in to meet those great figures, it'd be too embarrassing if captain Wang Zhong ended up with a mouth full of butter."
A few of the squadron members beside him started to laugh. "Haha. Senior Sully really has good intentions. Actually, it doesn't matter. There are ten squadrons, and the captain and vice-captain will definitely be called in. How would those great figures have the time to ask each and every one of them in detail? I reckon that only a few representative squadrons will pay special attention to them. Let's not talk about student Wang Zhong's touch. Even if captain Wang Zhong has a mouth full of butter, even if his breath stinks, they probably won't notice. Haha. Sorry, great captain Wang Zhong. I spoke too quickly. "
"Forget it. Don't say it like that. We're not on the same level as them. Sorry, my friends are just too straightforward!" Sully laughed as he stopped the others from continuing.
Wang Zhong put down the steak and smiled faintly at Sully. "I've heard that only weaklings like to bare their teeth from time to time to show their existence. Isn't that right, vice-captain Sully?"
Sully's expression changed. Just as he was about to ridicule Wang Zhong, he suddenly felt like a weakling. Maintaining the smile on his face, he said, "Student Wang Zhong really knows how to talk. But in this place, we have to rely on our true abilities and not our glib tongues. Let's go."
Wang Zhong declined to comment and stopped the eager Emily. There were all sorts of people in this world, and there were quite a few like Sully who belittled others to find a sense of superiority.
"Senior, I really want to beat him up." Even Barran couldn't help but say.
"Dogs bite people, but people don't necessarily have to bite back. Although these people are arrogant, they do have some ability. We'll have to fight on the battlefield. For now … let's continue eating."
Emily couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Wang Zhong, you can't tell such a serious joke."
In a party like this, a large group of people who weren't too familiar with each other would carry a glass of wine and go around toasting each other. If you weren't familiar with each other, what was the point of toasting? Emily wasn't very interested in such a party. But with Wang Zhong by her side, it was a completely different feeling. It gave her a very relaxing and peaceful feeling. Especially under such an ethereal night sky, being so close to Wang Zhong made her feel a sliver of happiness. It was a very intoxicating feeling.
If only such a night could last a little longer. Although there were some small interludes, it had to be said that Emily really had an open-minded personality.
However, before Emily could wake up from her beautiful dream, Wang Zhong had already been called over by someone.
