The mutated giant bears, equipped with saddles and muzzles, were not unfamiliar to everyone; they had arrived riding these creatures as well. What piqued their interest was who had come to this place.
With a vague answer in their hearts, as they drew closer and recognized that Cloud Summit Villa and Ye Zhongming had indeed arrived, only a few people turned their gaze towards Ye Zhongming. This was mainly because the battle team behind him was too eye-catching.
Leading the team was Xia Bai, dressed in ordinary black clothing yet exuding a dense aura of darkness, followed by hundreds of all-female evolvers equipped with highly uniform and advanced gear.
Even those who did not know Ye Zhongming would recognize this red dress guard; they were simply too famous. Up until now, no one had heard of anyone possessing such a battle team.
It was truly… enviable.
This was the unspoken sentiment of many present.
As the host, Li Daqian immediately stood up to welcome them. Although he had never met Ye Zhongming, he knew that the only person capable of having his son personally accompany them was none other than the King of Cloud Summit.
Among the invited battle teams, the importance of Cloud Summit in his heart definitely ranked in the top three.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, some people familiar with Ye Zhongming, such as the water steward and Ruan Xiao, also came over to say hello. Afterwards, Li Daqian had his son take the red dress guard to a designated area to rest, and invited Ye Zhongming and the six guards with Xia Bai to take their seats.
Ye Zhongming arrived late, and many secretly thought he was showing off, but no one mentioned it in person. Instead, everyone was very warm and welcoming; some powerful figures meeting him for the first time, such as Mr. Wen from the pavilion of quality, Qin Ru from Reborn Mount Hua, the Apocalyptic Lone Walker Nine Dragons, and Che Dongzhi, the leader of the Ming City Guard Corps, all expressed their welcome to Ye Zhongming's arrival.
On the right side, those with thick skins, as well as anyone who had any connection to Cloud Summit, also took the initiative to greet him. Ye Zhongming didn’t put on airs and smiled as he talked to everyone.
In an instant, the focus of the scene shifted to Ye Zhongming, rather than the proud David, who had just been showing off like a morning dew.
This made the foreigner very angry.
“In the past, you people from the national region were rude; whether at tourist attractions or airports around the world, your behavior was very bad. Now, it’s even worse. A latecomer is not only not condemned but rather welcomed. Is this your code of conduct? I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand your way of thinking, and I’m disappointed and shocked by your lack of progress in manners and etiquette!”
David’s series of accusations left the people from the national region feeling a bit bewildered. Soon, some began to retort, and the scene became quite chaotic.
Li Daqian's anger was evident, but he couldn’t destroy his own gathering, so he suppressed everyone’s ire, urging everyone to return to their seats.
Ye Zhongming also took the seat that was reserved for him. Standing beside him, Xiao Min suddenly remarked, “Where did this blonde idiot come from?”
Her words were aimed directly at David.
Ye Zhongming was the boss, and his status was clear; it was beneath him to argue with this foreigner. Xia Bai would prefer to use a scythe to behead this guy rather than engage in a verbal battle.
Someone had to speak up, or else they might really think Cloud Summit was the kind of place that would be mocked without a response.
Thanks to the development of the national region before the apocalypse, not only had its cultural and economic influence on the world increased, but even some slang and national curses had spread globally.
Coincidentally, David really understood what this term meant.
“Bitch!” He raised an international gesture towards Xiao Min, showing no courtesy at all, and immediately responded.
