CHAPTER TEXT:
"Two in One"
Ye Zhongming knew that from the perspective of the Ogre Chain, perhaps these proposals were insignificant. But from his point of view, it always felt a bit absurd.
What kind of reason gave the Ogre Chain such confidence? What made them think they could help the current number one in the country? What allowed them to believe they could achieve what Ye Zhongming, the top figure in this region, could not?
The King of Cloud Summit would never underestimate others, yet he would not belittle himself either. He believed the Ogre Chain had their own foundation, but he did not think they could accomplish things they weren't even sure about.
Hearing these cooperation conditions, he felt a bit lazy to argue. His status also made him disdainful of such debates. He simply nodded and said three words, "I understand."
Ruan Xiao glanced at Wu Xiu. This woman was leading this group; he was here purely because of his familiarity with Ye Zhongming. Relying on a good relationship with Cloud Summit, he had gained many benefits. Currently, one-fifth of their achievements came from Cloud Summit Villa. He had said what needed to be said, and what shouldn't be said, he would never utter. He wouldn't do anything to offend Ye Zhongming.
Wu Xiu revealed an elegant smile, "I know, Mr. Ye thinks we can't do it. No matter how I explain, you won't believe it, but the facts will prove it."
After saying this, she left with Ruan Xiao and the guards, returning to the Ogre Chain's team.
On the Cloud Summit side, Xiao Min and the others scoffed, feeling that the people from the Ogre Chain were a bit arrogant.
Ye Zhongming thought for a moment and felt that the Ogre Chain must have something or some information that gave them this confidence. As for what exactly it was, that would have to be seen later.
The second to arrive was Alamos. This old fellow was bold, bringing only four people—not, it should be said, four genetic lifeforms. They looked extremely ugly, although from the outside, their movements were smooth and skilled, indicating a high degree of fusion. However, this kind of aesthetic was not something that an ordinary person could tolerate.
Alamos could only bring four guards, indicating he had full confidence in their strength.
"Ye, we meet again."
Alamos wanted to hug Ye Zhongming, but Ye Zhongming didn't move at all, merely squinting at him. This made Alamos awkwardly retract his outstretched arms.
Do we have such a good relationship?
Ye Zhongming looked at the old man, feeling somewhat helpless. Am I supposed to be afraid that you might suddenly strike at me? Don't you fear that I might suddenly strike at you?
Of course, the greater possibility was that Alamos was deliberately putting on this act.
"Is there anything we can talk about? We should be rivals, right?"
In the face of Ye Zhongming's blunt words, Alamos didn't get angry at all. Instead, he said, "Ye, you're right, we are rivals, even enemies, but not at this moment."
"Oh? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Ye Zhongming was always not used to the way these foreigners spoke.
Alamos pointed to the distance, "When we become enemies, it will be when we are fighting for the Mountain King Crown, not now. Right now, we are not enemies, but we need to cooperate."
Ye Zhongming remained silent, waiting for Alamos to continue.
"Do you see the broken bridge? Originally, we could cross to the other side from there; the broken part is not large, and we could get through with some methods. But now, that's not possible. The break has increased, and we can no longer pass over it. We can only walk on the ice surface, and below this ice surface is the sea."
Alamos explained the current situation to Ye Zhongming. Only then did Ye Zhongming realize that it wasn't that these teams wanted to gather here but that they were all troubled about how to cross the Bering Strait.
Previously, although the Bering Strait Bridge was broken, the distance between the broken bridges on both sides was not far apart, and evolvers could pass through using some methods.
