Chapter 144: Chapter 144: During the Banquet

Although Han Rui's words were unreasonable, Han Jiaojiao could still discern some information from them.

General Ji's invitation to Han Yi, aside from showing goodwill, probably also harbored the intention of competing with Yunan—after all, Yunan had a MAX Superpower User, and it would only look good if his own base also produced a MAX, right? It could both make Yunan wary and take the opportunity to gain control over Han Yi...

Han Jiaojiao thought to herself: This old man is really not likable, showing his sincerity on one hand, yet harboring calculations on the other.

Passing through the front hall was a circular dance floor, surrounded by tables and chairs, where some waiters were continually serving fruit plates and drinks.

Han Jiaojiao, looking at the fresh fruits and decorative flowers on the tables, was secretly amazed—organizing such a banquet really cost a fortune, especially when fresh fruit was quite a rarity these days.
