บท 450: Chapter 450: Why are you here too?
Sun Xiao was a lucky man.
After embarking on the path of live streaming, his journey, though occasionally perilous, had been incredibly rewarding.
He pioneered many streaming styles.
For example:
Risking Death with Evil Spirits Live Stream. Later, as the evil spirits faded away, he started a new trend:Chase Your Dreams Live Stream. This involved continuing his death-defying adventures in mountains and ancient ruins, broadcasting his unique perspective on the Starry Sky Clan and the dangers he encountered, quickly propelling him to the top streamer position on the platform.
He amassed countless fans.
Online, he was known as "Brother Deathwish."
Many viewers, envious of Sun Xiao's luck, decided to embark on their own adventures after a while, hoping to replicate his success.
The eventual outcomes were predictable.
Some died.
Others vanished.
The gruesome consequences led the authorities to intervene, declaring that these weren't attempts at testing luck, but genuine suicide missions.
Now, due to the arrival of the Starry Sky Clan, the road was blocked. Numerous security guards, armed with real guns, stood on both sides, holding back the crowds of onlookers with barricades.
Luxury cars arrived one after another.
The onlookers gasped, assuming it was the Starry Sky Clan.
However, the arrivals were world leaders.
In the past, the appearance of any one of them would have been the focus of attention. Now, they were merely attendees at a social gathering.
The purpose of this gathering was to establish friendly relations with the Starry Sky Clan. While there had always been disparities in national power, the gaps weren't vast. Now, with the Starry Sky Clan residing in the Dragon Kingdom, and wondrous objects appearing in its mountains and ancient ruins, other nations felt envious.
They also sensed a new challenge.
They risked being left behind.
Since their own countries lacked such extraordinary things, they aimed to win over the Starry Sky Clan, seeking an unconventional path to advancement.
As the host of the gathering, Li Guofeng should have been at the entrance to greet the guests. However, he had dispensed with such formalities, preferring to await the arrival of the Starry Sky Clan.
They were the most important.
"No ticket?" Old Master Xu stared at the one-eyed man, his eyes filled with surprise, as if he hadn't expected this.
The one-eyed man said, "Does a ticket really matter? My presence here as the leader of Yanhai City already gives this gathering enough face. How can they stop me from entering?"
Old Master Xu shook his head. "I'm afraid what you think is the reality. Li Guofeng gave me a ticket because I'm the leader of Xiadu. If I didn't come, this gathering would be seen as a private event, lacking official recognition. However, not inviting you is also normal. Your position is a level below mine. Inviting higher-ups while excluding lower ones is standard practice."
The one-eyed man frowned. "That sounds a bit harsh."
"It's the truth," Old Master Xu said helplessly. "You should have told me earlier that you didn't have a ticket. I could have found a way. Now, I'm afraid you really can't get in. And also…"
For Old Master Xu, he just wanted to tease the one-eyed man a bit. Since they were already there, how could they not enter?
"Tell me the truth," the one-eyed man said, not wanting to waste words.
Old Master Xu said, "Alright, no more teasing. Li Guofeng did this on purpose. He knew you would come, but deliberately didn't give you a ticket to embarrass you. Just come in with me later, and everything will be fine."
"Go in now?" the one-eyed man asked.
Old Master Xu replied, "No, not now. The Starry Sky Clan hasn't arrived yet. It seems Li Guofeng wants those world leaders who entered earlier to serve as a backdrop. The important guests always arrive last."
"So boring," Old Zhang said.
Lin Fan comforted him, "It'll be fine soon. I heard there's a lot of delicious food inside. Just wait a little longer, okay?"
At the mention of food, Old Zhang's eyes lit up.
Inside the Li Corporation building…
Even with the world leaders already present, Li Guofeng hadn't gone down to greet them. They were here seeking favors, hoping to establish connections with the Starry Sky Clan.
Let them wait.
There was no need to fuss over them.
Bei Tao, standing beside Li Guofeng, smiled. "Everything is going so smoothly. If we pull this off, even the Special Department won't be able to compare with us."
Li Guofeng, holding an expensive glass of red wine, had a far more ambitious mind than anyone else. He no longer dwelled on his grandson's death. It was unnecessary. If this plan succeeded, it would be his time to rise.
"Bei Tao, at a time like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered by staying here with me?"
The Shadow Society had always developed covertly, only becoming active in recent months, collaborating with the evil spirits. However, the wisdom behind their collaboration was difficult to understand, and problems frequently arose.
Bei Tao was the person he valued most, but this individual gave him a sense of instability.
"What's there to be afraid of? If someone could infiltrate this place, that would be truly terrifying."
For him, everything was a stepping stone. Life without dreams was like a salted fish. His dream was to leave this planet, join the Starry Sky Clan, and explore the vast universe. He firmly believed there was a place for him among them.
"Oh, right, those people from Yanhai City have also arrived."
Bei Tao wasn't most concerned about Old Master Xu or the one-eyed man, but about Lin Fan. He was the most unstable factor in all his plans, a potential explosive.
The consequences of that explosion were too devastating to predict.
Li Guofeng said calmly, "Let them come."
Bei Tao said, "Don't be impulsive. Although Lin Fan killed your grandson, you can have thousands more grandsons. With your robust health, you can have as many as you want."
"I don't care about that anymore."
Li Guofeng's tone was extremely calm, his meaning clear. You're overthinking it. My previous grief was just an emotional outburst. I've long since moved on.
"Good to hear. I was just worried you might lose control and confront Lin Fan here. Then I'd have to say choosing you as a partner was the stupidest decision of my life."
Li Guofeng glanced at Bei Tao, frowning. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
On the surface, he was the one supporting the Shadow Society, and Bei Tao was merely his enforcer, a pawn he cultivated. But this pawn was too unruly, causing him displeasure.
"Of course not, just a friendly reminder," Bei Tao said with a smile.
Li Guofeng didn't respond. Bei Tao, feeling the time was right, left. As he pushed the door open, he glanced back at the office and muttered:
"Old geezer, small…"
He even doubted if the deceased Li Xu was truly his grandson. They didn't seem very alike. Even his deceased son didn't resemble him much.
Hmm, such a complicated issue.
The grandson didn't resemble him, the son didn't resemble him, and the grandson didn't resemble the son…
It was all rather terrifying to contemplate.
Outside…
The crowd was buzzing.
"The Starry Sky Clan has arrived!"
Suddenly, numerous figures descended from the sky. Their appearance instantly caused a sensation.
Only a few had seen the Starry Sky Clan before.
Ordinary citizens had never witnessed them.
"Wow, so these are the Starry Sky Clan? They can fly!"
"So handsome."
"So beautiful."
"They're all wearing ancient clothing. Do they still live in ancient times?"
"Hey, look, do you see those who don't fit in? They're wearing casual clothes. Oh my god, I get it! They must be members of the Starry Sky Clan from modern society."
"That clothing brand looks familiar. Holy crap, I recognize it! It's the same brand as ours. Are they from a parallel universe?"
The scene was fervent.
The Starry Sky Clan members were like celebrities, attracting everyone's attention. Many of the young masters and princesses of the clan were strikingly beautiful, instantly captivating a large audience.
"Damn, I thought they weren't coming."
The one-eyed man was stunned to see Wu Sheng and Wu Xingyun.
Once again, he had trusted them too much.
He looked closely.
Many of them he had seen in Changbai Mountain.
Mu Hao.
Li Yanyin.
The Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan.
Mo Wu, and so on.
There were also many members of the Starry Sky Clan he hadn't seen before. Although they were concealing their auras, he could still sense immense pressure.
Li Guofeng hadn't come out to greet the world leaders, but with the arrival of the Starry Sky Clan, he appeared at the entrance, a smile on his face, welcoming them.
The one-eyed man asked, "Are there any strong ones among them?"
Lin Fan shook his head. "No."
The one-eyed man understood what Lin Fan meant by "strong ones." After all, those he considered "not strong" were each incredibly formidable, capable of thrashing him like a child.
Soon, Li Guofeng led the Starry Sky Clan inside.
"Let's go in," Old Master Xu said.
"Okay," the one-eyed man nodded.
Li Guofeng hadn't given him a ticket, a simple act of humiliation. But if they wanted to enter, no one dared to stop them. However, their every move had already reached Li Guofeng's ears.
After entering, the one-eyed man and his group were led by staff towards the banquet hall.
They didn't see Li Guofeng or the Starry Sky Clan.
Upon inquiring, they learned that Li Guofeng had taken the Starry Sky Clan to tour his corporation. While that was the official explanation, the one-eyed man and his group suspected there was more to it.
After some time…
The one-eyed man and his group weren't in the banquet hall, but were searching for someone.
"Hey! You're all here!" Wu Sheng, shaking his hands to get rid of the water, saw Lin Fan and the others. A smile spread across his face as he greeted them.
The one-eyed man asked, "Why are you here too?"
Wu Sheng replied, "Nothing better to do. Heard many clans were coming, so I came to take a look. It's pretty boring, a waste of time. Makes me want to leave early."
He noticed the one-eyed man's unusual expression.
An idea instantly formed in his mind.
Things weren't so simple.
There was definitely some bad blood.
And when there's bad blood, it's important to choose the right side.
