"Ah, I was wondering who it was." Laura laughed. "Hey, student, where did your manners go?"
"Oh?"
This time, she had come alone. She had wanted to look for Wang Zhong and play with him as soon as she got off the train tracks. After learning from Milami that Wang Zhong was in the Prodigy Society, she had rushed over in a hurry. She was originally quite happy, but upon entering, she saw Wang Zhong happily chatting with a big-breasted beauty. When she took a closer look, she realized that the big-breasted cow was none other than that beast girl, Laura.
It had nothing to do with Wang Zhong. The moment she saw Laura, it was as if fire and water were incompatible. Sharmie would never forget the words' big-breasted brainless' that had infuriated her. In the entire world, Laura was probably the only one who dared to use such a phrase to describe her.
"Manners are for humans." Sharmie chuckled. "Are they useful for wild beasts? Beast girl? "
"Haha, you can't even differentiate between humans and beasts." Laura laughed as she glanced at Sharmie's increasingly majestic breasts. "I haven't seen you for a while, but your intelligence hasn't increased."
Looking at her breasts and saying that she had a problem with her intelligence, wasn't she hinting at that forbidden phrase?
Sharmie's beautiful eyes twitched as a ball of flames danced on her palm. "Interesting! Before coming here, I was worried that these few days would be too boring. Now, it seems that won't be the case! "
Laura stood up without a care. "Same here!"
Looking at the flames of war between the two, Wang Zhong felt that if he continued to stay, he would definitely be implicated. The entire Federation Academy knew about the battle between Sharmie and Laura. This … it was better to escape …
This was the first time he had used the Ghostly Steps to do such a thing. Wang Zhong felt slightly embarrassed. He had just come out when he saw Emily's message. This girl had been very quiet ever since the group training. It was very abnormal. He should chat with her.
Emily ordered a cup of cappuccino and was in a daze while biting on the cup. She didn't even notice Wang Zhong walking in front of her.
She had something on her mind.
Wang Zhong chuckled and rubbed her head. "Who made our Emily unhappy?"
"Brother Wang Zhong, you're rubbing someone else's head again." Emily was both angry and amused. "You won't grow taller!"
"How is that possible?" Wang Zhong ordered a cup of coffee. "When our Emily grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty. Her legs will definitely be 1.7 meters long."
"Does Brother Wang Zhong like girls with long legs?"
"Cough cough … This is something that all men like."
Said Emily with a smile, a thin layer of coffee foam still present on her lips. "Actually, I've already grown up, especially after this trip to Copperfield … brother Wang Zhong, am I really that weak?"
"How is that possible? Don't forget that you're a genius with a soul power growth of 9.4 points. You also have a fire attribute special ability that makes people endlessly envious," said Wang Zhong with a smile. "You're already very formidable right now. In the future, you'll become even more formidable."
"But I don't think I'm strong at all." Emily bit her lips. "I can't even beat Saxon's Third Assassin, and I still need everyone's help."
"Hey, that's the third strongest team in the Eastern Conference, and Tamil is also a third-year student. You haven't even graduated from your first year, so don't worry too much."
"There's no need to console me, Brother Wang Zhong. Grai is also at the same age, but he's really very strong. Other than him, Barran's growth rate is much faster than mine. During group battles, Barran can also make great contributions to the team, but I feel more and more like I'm dragging them down. "
He could feel that Emily was currently very serious. She didn't look like she was complaining or feeling sorry for herself. Instead, she seemed to have some sort of awareness.
Wang Zhong smiled faintly as he looked at her.
Was Emily weak? That would depend on how one viewed it.
Emily was already very strong for a first-year student. Placed in any academy, she would definitely be a strong contender for the Best Newcomer title. She had only been in school for less than half a year, yet she was able to rely on her strength to completely overtake the third year assassin, Colby's position. The current Emily was completely different from the time she had defeated Colby by a fluke.
However, if one were to use Grai's standards to measure her strength, and if one were to look at the terrifying opponents that the Tianjing squadron would have to face in the CHF …
Not enough, far from enough.
Without mentioning a terrifying existence like Divian, even someone like Paul would be able to easily crush her. Even the number three assassin of the Saxon Empire, Tamil, would be able to suppress her. With such strength, she would only be an existence that would be a burden to the squadron in the CHF.
"I don't want to be a burden to everyone. I really don't." Emily raised her head to look at Wang Zhong, her eyes incomparably serious. "Brother Wang Zhong, I've learned a lot over the past half a year, especially during my time at Copperfield. I've already applied for a leave of absence from Headmaster Greene. I'll be returning home this afternoon!"
"Today? Returning home? "
"That's right. After all, I'm Emily Assassin!" Unknowingly, at this moment, Emily suddenly understood the weight contained within this surname. She also understood the words that the elders of her family had once said to her.
"Of course." Wang Zhong smiled. "I believe that you will definitely become the most outstanding assassin in our squadron, and even the entire eastern region!"
"Brother Wang Zhong, do you really believe me? Or are you just consoling me? "
"Of course I really believe you."
"Good!" Emily suddenly stood up and walked to Wang Zhong's side. "Then, shall we make an agreement?"
"Oh?"
"Brother Wang Zhong, close your eyes first!"
"Ah?" Wang Zhong gawked.
"Hurry up! You're a grown man, why are you dilly-dallying!" Emily bit her lips.
Wang Zhong helplessly closed his eyes. In the next instant, his right cheek was kissed by a moist and soft lips.
Wang Zhong opened his eyes in astonishment, only to see Emily running out of the coffee shop like a wisp of smoke. Her bell-like laughter drifted over from afar. "We've made an agreement. If I really do it, the left and right sides have to be symmetrical! “
Wang Zhong smiled and shook his head. This lass … has grown up.
Finally, it was time for Ma Dong to decide the victor. After two to three months of preparation, victory or defeat would be decided in this one move. Even with Ma Dong's big heart, he still felt slightly nervous in his heart. He felt that the wind today was extremely cold, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
Dressed in a long white dress, Milami stood by his side like a cute and lovable little bird.
The relationship between the two had been made public half a month ago. Milami's parents were rather satisfied with Ma Dong. Both of their situations were similar. Frankly speaking, Milami's family background wasn't too good. Naturally, the two of them were only in love. Thus, they turned a blind eye to such matters.
This time, Milami played a huge role in Sharmie's arrival. She knew that this was a crucial battle for Ma Dong. If he were to lose, their relationship would be shrouded in a shadow. Milami was very clear about the entire process. Ma Dong didn't hide anything from her. In the past, she felt that Ma Dong wasn't serious. This time, she felt that Ma Dong had given her a brand new image. Men could usually be sloppy, but they had to have a backbone during crucial moments.
"A guy who's always so frivolous can actually be nervous." While helping him tidy up his clothes, Milami said in a gentle voice. "It's alright. With so many people supporting us, we'll definitely have a chance."
"Mimi! What you said is too good! I'm really touched! "With a solemn expression, Ma Dong extended his hands.
"… If you want to hug me, then hug me. Where do you put your hands?" A black line appeared on Milami's forehead. If they weren't in public, she would have already given him a slap. "To think that I was worried that you'd be nervous!"
With a grin, Ma Dong released his hands. His hands no longer trembled, and his face became even more spirited. "I'll feel healthier if I touch it. I'll also get some of my Mimi's good luck. With the protection of the Ball God, I'll definitely kill everyone today. It's about to start. Maintain your seriousness!"
At this moment, the entrance of the auction venue had already started to bustle with noise and excitement, with an endless stream of guests arriving.
There weren't any clear judging criteria for this competition. Everything would be decided by the family's elder council and the patriarch. There definitely wouldn't be any favoritism. Even that uncle of the Teslan Family was basically unable to influence the decision of the patriarch or the elder council. Everything would depend on the performance of both parties. The first segment of the competition would be whether the people invited had sufficient influence. Having a wide network was extremely important for doing business.
The invited guests were all holding invitations in their hands. Other than the name and identity of the person invited, there was also a lot more to it on the surface. The invitations sent out by Teslan's side were all red in colour, with the gilded words appearing extremely extravagant. On the other hand, Ma Dong's side appeared to be much more low-key. However, the famous artisans that he had invited were also extremely artistic in design. Thus, although there weren't any partitioning of seats or passageways, the factions that the guests supported were clear and distinct.
The first to arrive were people invited by Ma Dong's side. This time, the Tianjing business circle had given him considerable face. The family competition between Ma Dong and Teslan was no longer a secret within the Tianjing business circle. Just as Ma Dong had expected, the connections that his old man had built up over a few decades could more or less play some role. However, the absolute weight of this was still the combination of benefits and choices. Rather than dealing with a new boss that appeared to be a ferocious dragon crossing the river, it would be far better for him to continue working together with his old boss, who already had a stable distribution of benefits and benefits. Even if supporting Ma Dong now meant that he would have to bear the risk in the event of failure, there was a considerable portion of Tianjing that had deep cooperation with his family.
Once Teslan was promoted, he would definitely not give them a chance, including the heads of the Yuanfu Department Store, Perpetual Industries, and other well-known large enterprises within Tianjing City. There were even some local snake family heads that had arrived in batches. At the very least, they could not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
This time, the Tianjing Family had changed the location of the auction to Tianjing City. Ordinary people might have thought that it was just a matter of convenience. However, Ma Dong was able to sense that this represented the direction of the Family. It was possible that the Family had discovered something in the vicinity of Tianjing, or that there were some political movements within the Federation. However, as someone who was well aware of the Family's business model, Ma Dong was able to clearly sense the Family's determination to develop Tianjing.
Therefore, although the invited people were just small influences in a small place, and might not have much weight in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Family, they were local snakes with considerable power in Tianjing. If the Family truly wanted to develop in Tianjing, these connections would definitely be able to increase their score by quite a bit.
Standing at the entrance, Ma Dong and Milami warmly received the guests as the hosts, exchanging pleasantries with the local big shots of Tianjing. The bustling scene immediately caused Teslan, who was also receiving guests, to pale in comparison.
Teslan was an exceedingly handsome young man, appearing to be around 24 to 25 years of age. He had an extraordinary way of talking and was well-mannered. Dressed in a capable black suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and he always maintained a smile on his face, giving people the impression that he was an extremely shrewd elite of the Family. Being able to stand out amongst the numerous branch family members and wield great authority in the branch family, Teslan did not only rely on his uncle, but also his own physical body. If not, even 10 of his uncles would not be able to support him.
The bustling scene at Ma Dong's side did not cause him too much trouble. Maintaining the smile on his face, he paid no attention to the bustling scene at the other side. Only small fries would jump out and jump around. Compared to those, he was more interested in Milami.
Firstly, the status of the Apollo Family had increased the score of this female companion by quite a bit. More importantly, she was indeed a great beauty.
In terms of appearance, Milami was in fact not much inferior to Sharmie, with a similarly explosive and fiery figure. It was only her combat talent that was inferior to Sharmie's. After all, in this era, ability and identity would also increase the score by quite a bit. Furthermore, she would usually wear clothes that tightened her chest and a pair of large black-framed spectacles, causing her to remain unknown. At this moment, she was wearing an enchanting dress. Just based on appearance alone, she was a top grade beauty.
Teslan gave a cold snort. Seeing the two people walking over, he put on a warm smile and personally welcomed them.
"That's Chairman Rex?"
"There's also the chairman of the Senate, Mr Clough …"
Whispers of discussion rang out from the surrounding people.
Ma Dong had also noticed that this was the first guest that Teslan had personally welcomed.
If one were to talk about who had the greatest influence in Tianjing, it would clearly not be those entrepreneurs and local bullies that he had invited. Instead, it was Chairman Rex and Dean Clough!
The Discussion Hall and the Senate were the two departments that controlled the greatest authority in Tianjing. One could well imagine the influence of their heads within the Tianjing region. The large group of people that he had invited seemed to control all of Tianjing's resources and strength. However, all of this added up seemed to be slightly insufficient in front of these two people. Any random decision from the Discussion Hall or the Senate would represent the Federation's policies. Wanting to interfere with the business world and even shake the foundations of the entire business world was something that could be done with just a few words in the eyes of these two people.
Previously, Ma Dong's old man had personally invited these 2 big shots time and time again. However, the reply he had received was that they were busy and could not make it. Now, they had entered the auction house as guests invited by Teslan. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
Ma Dong wasn't the only one. Many of the business elites who had come over to support Ma Dong due to the pressure from the locals had started to feel slightly worried at this moment. Disregarding everything else, standing on the opposite side of those 2 people in Tianjing had truly caused them to feel slightly pressured. Indeed, ferocious dragons wouldn't cross the river. It was no wonder why Teslan had not taken any action despite knowing that Tianjing's business community had banded together. It turned out that he had already prepared a plan to take drastic measures from the bottom of the cauldron.
As though they had agreed on it beforehand, upon the arrival of Chairman Rex and Dean Clough, Teslan's guests appeared one after another.
