Gao Yi was not excited and did not make any gestures like Li Qiang did, but his calm tone seemed to convey that it was a matter of fact.
No one knew Gao Yi, and even the gear he wore, which had no levels, looked a bit silly. However, his words surprisingly carried a convincing power.
Gao Yi indeed had the ability to take down someone like Qiang Yu. The intelligence capabilities of the avoidance team would grow stronger with expansion. As the Underworld Bone Demon Platform was about to enter the Cloud Summit sequence, they theoretically had the ability to appear anywhere in a short amount of time.
Finding the location of the Nalan battle team and killing a five-star evolver was almost the simplest task for the avoidance action squad.
“Let’s clean up and head back. We at Cloud Summit Villa can help,” Ye Zhongming said casually to Garan and Mina, but his words were more effective than Gao Yi and Li Qiang’s. The man named Qiang Yu’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.
He said that because he felt there was no need to fear any mention of Cloud Summit after leaving, as finding someone in such a vast country during the apocalypse was quite a hassle.
However, if he gained the support of Mina and Garan, it would be much easier. To put it severely, as long as Garan and Mina nodded, it would mean that Qiang Yu would be killed. On a lighter note, he would have to live on the run from then on.
Finding another organization for protection was not an easy task; trust itself was a problem.
At this moment, Qiang Yu felt a bit regretful. Although he was still stubbornly holding his head high on the surface, he kept glancing at Garan and Mina, clearly feeling extremely anxious in his heart.
The two women were inclined to agree but knew they couldn’t do so, as it concerned maintaining unity within the organization.
They smiled awkwardly at Ye Zhongming, “It’s our people's fault; Mr. Ye, please don’t be angry. We’ll teach him a proper lesson later.”
Mina added, “Yes, since we’ve come in, we will do our best to help.”
The other members of the Nalan battle team felt relieved inwardly. Offending a top ten power in the national district was not something to take lightly.
Qiang Yu relaxed noticeably; although he didn't say anything, he had already shrunk back into the team and stopped sticking out.
Ye Zhongming sneered, his gaze falling on the street across from them where a three-person team was quickly approaching.
“Nalan battle team?”
The leader of the group showed no fear in front of over a hundred people; instead, he raised his chin slightly, exuding an air of arrogance.
“Yes,” Garan stepped forward; she was responsible for external matters.
“We are from the wasteland. Our boss Wen Huan sent me to deliver a message. He hopes that the adventures in Colorful City will be completed solely by us. Please give the wasteland some face, and in the future, when we meet again, the wasteland will owe the Nalan battle team a favor.”
Although these words were polite, they felt commanding.
This was understandable; although the Nalan battle team had made it onto the national district ranking, they were at the bottom. The wasteland, being a superpower, naturally looked down on them. Not to mention the person delivering the message was a six-star evolver, higher in evolution level than anyone in the Nalan battle team, so there was no way to speak on equal terms.
Currently, evolvers could not attack each other here; otherwise, there would be no such tone, only threats, likely summed up in six words:
Get lost, or die.
As for the three-person team, they were completely ignored. The wasteland clearly did not know that they were from Cloud Summit Villa.
Was Garan afraid of the wasteland and Wen Huan? Absolutely. They were well-known in the national district, easily capable of wiping out the team that she and Mina had worked hard to build.
But could she leave here in disgrace? Clearly not. After hesitating for a few seconds, she chose to stand with Ye Zhongming.
