It was the beginning of winter in Emperor City in the middle of December. The temperature hovered between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
Many ordinary residents had already begun to wear thin down jackets, and cultivators had also begun to wear long pants and jackets.
White frost could be seen forming on the damp ground occasionally in the morning while the night was getting colder.
The 15th of December was just an ordinary day to ordinary people. It was the same for most people in Emperor City.
However, almost all the top organizations in the entire gravel world had their eyes on Emperor City that was thousands of miles away.
The reason being that something important would happen in Emperor City on this day.
Misery, who had been the No. 1 underground organization for hundreds of years, was going to 'visit' Dynasty.
Everyone who was paying attention knew that 'visit' was just a name. In reality, it was a battle.
Apart from the battle between Misery and Dynasty, it was also a battle between the old and the new order.
If Misery won this round, not only would it mean that Dynasty would fall, but it would also mean that the old order could not be broken. There would not be a second organization that betrayed the underground organizations for at least hundreds of years. There would not be a second neutral organization that would propose to the Coalition government to work together.
If Dynasty won this round, not only would it mean that Misery would be overthrown, but it would also mean that a new order would be established. By then, more organizations would be neutral while more neutral organizations would propose to the Coalition government to work together. One could say that if Dynasty won this round, it would be equivalent to starting a new era.
That was the reason why all the top organizations were paying close attention to this event.
Meanwhile, the small organizations and cultivators who were paying attention to this event did not see that far ahead. They only thought that the battle between the two top organizations would be exciting.
To them, Misery was the No. 1 giant. However, Dynasty had been getting famous recently, so it would definitely be a fierce battle. In reality, they had no idea exactly how powerful Misery was, nor did they know what kind of trump card Dynasty had.
Huang Tianpu, the three Grand Dukes, and the two virtual god-level titled Dukes were preparing for this day.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang had been staying in the Emperor's Palace.
He was not nervous at all. He had been cultivating Seamless for the past few days. He even faintly felt that his Divine Telekinesis was getting stronger by the minute every day.
Huang Tianpu waited until 8 am He was so anxious that he could not help but call Lin Huang.
In fact, he had already sent a message to Lin Huang at six in the morning, telling Lin Huang that the people from Misery would arrive before nine, but Lin Huang did not reply.
This time, as soon as he dialed Lin Huang's number, he was hung up.
A moment later, Huang Tianpu received a message.
"I got it. I'll come out after I take a shower and change my clothes."
The reason why he had been dawdling and unwilling to leave the Human Emperor's Palace until now was that he was 200 threads away from breaking through to 50,000 at 6 am As a man with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he stubbornly insisted on breaking through fifty thousand before he was willing to come out of seclusion. Actually, he had already calculated the time. It would take at most two hours, so it would not delay his meeting with Misery.
Lin Huang opened his eyes all of a sudden less than ten seconds after he cut off Huang Tianfu's video call request with his telekinetic threads.
He had finally consolidated the last of the 50,000 telekinetic threads!
After recalling the telekinetic threads back into his body, Lin Huang replied to Huang Tianpu's message calmly and got up to walk to the bathroom.
After washing up and changing, Lin Huang walked out of the Human Emperor's Palace feeling refreshed.
He looked down at the time. It was 8.18 am
"It seems like it's still early. Just in time for breakfast," Lin Huang mumbled softly and disappeared from where he was in a flash.
When he appeared again, he was already at the entrance of Mrs. Fat's soup dumpling shop.
Lin Huang was a little speechless when he saw the long queue at the entrance.
"Business is booming …"
"Master Emperor, you haven't had breakfast yet?" Mrs. Fat greeted him warmly. "What would you like to eat? We'll make it for you."
Both of them knew who Lin Huang was, but they had no idea what the Emperor meant. They thought that Lin Huang was some sort of governor. Although they were in awe of him, they felt that he was no different from an ordinary person after they got to know him better.
Everyone looked at Lin Huang as soon as Mrs. Fat called out to him.
There were a few cultivators who came to Emperor City from other places to join in the fun.
They began recording videos secretly as soon as they saw Lin Huang.
Lin Huang did not stop them when he saw that. He was used to it since he had been filmed so many times.
Initially, Lin Huang wanted to cut the queue when he heard Mrs. Fat's question. However, he was too embarrassed to say anything when he saw the people in the queue staring at him in awe. There were two children in the queue too.
"It's alright. Don't worry about me. Follow the order. I'll line up."
Lin Huang walked to the back of the queue after he was done speaking. There were 14 people in front of him, including the two children. Lin Huang glanced at the time. It was already 8.20 am He roughly estimated that he should be able to make it, so he waited patiently.
In the beginning, the queue was quite smooth. However, when it came to a young girl, she hesitated for a long time and could not decide which one to eat, which took up a lot of time. There was another child at the back who asked for fried buns and eggs. Brother Fat went to fry the buns, so Mrs. Fat slowed down the queue.
It was almost 8.50 am When it was Lin Huang's turn, it was almost 8.50 am
Lin Huang ordered two baskets of buns. He turned around and saw that all the tables were basically taken. There was only one empty seat at a table for two. The reason why nobody dared to sit at that seat was that a hunk with a scar on his face was sitting opposite him. He had a bald head and looked ferocious.
Lin Huang walked straight to the man. "Is there anyone sitting here?"
In reality, he sensed that the hunk was a cultivator with a high combat strength. He was a high-level immortal-level transcendent.
"N-no one." The hunk had been secretly filming Lin Huang. He did not know what to do when he saw Lin Huang walking over.
"Just film me if you want. You don't have to hide." Lin Huang said directly when he saw the hunk covering his left hand with his right hand, revealing the camera on his Emperor's Heart Ring through the gaps between his fingers.
"Can I?" The hunk did not expect Lin Huang to be so straightforward.
"You guys will still film me if I say no. There are more than ten cameras pointing at me now. It doesn't matter if you're one more, "Lin Huang said and began eating the buns with the sauce.
When he had almost finished half of the baskets of buns, the hunk with a scar on his face could not help but ask, "Isn't Misery visiting Dynasty today? Why are you having breakfast at this hour? "
"It's not even 9 am yet, is it?" Lin Huang glanced at the time and replied casually.
"But … don't we need to prepare anything?" The hunk with a scar on his face asked again, "It's Misery after all."
"What do we need to prepare?" Lin Huang asked back and stuffed the last bun in the first basket into his mouth. He then chewed quickly.
The hunk with a scar on his face was speechless.
A while later, he could not help but ask again when he saw Lin Huang eating the second basket of buns.
"Are you confident that you can handle this crisis?"
