Ye Zhongming was certain that the Star Eye Clan did not have such powerful individuals in the past, but the aura exuding from these people truly belonged to the Star Eye Clan.
Looking at the masks, Ye Zhongming knew they were members of the guard team, subordinates of Bashiru.
Each transportation point was personally managed by representatives from the Myriad Clans Assembly. Essentially, they would come during the guiding sun to open the door, check the proxy credentials, and once the people were taken away, their tasks would be complete. Therefore, there weren't any significant figures present.
Upon seeing the Star Eye Clan members arrive, no one was particularly surprised.
The other races weren't surprised because they were aware that the relationship between the Star Eye Clan and Cloud Summit Manor had been deteriorating. They were unsure why Pao Bai and Commander Cheng Liujin, who had a very close relationship with Ye Zhongming, hadn’t said anything, but that didn’t prevent them from concluding that the Star Eye Clan would definitely show up to create trouble for Ye Zhongming.
Everyone knew that most of the proxies chosen by the Star Eye Clan this time were people from Ye Zhongming's home planet.
Ye Zhongming wasn't surprised because the proxy credentials were in the hands of the Star Eye Clan; they hadn't given Ye Zhongming any. If they didn’t send anyone, Ye Zhongming could still retrieve people without credentials, given his identity as Commander Qing Tong and the champion of the previous rookie competition. The Star Eye Clan’s presence was necessary to annoy Ye Zhongming.
Watching the four individuals approach, Ye Zhongming directly extended his hand.
The four masked powerful members of the Star Eye Clan glanced at Ye Zhongming. Due to the masks, it was impossible to tell their expressions, but their eyes showed extreme indifference and disregard.
They looked at Ye Zhongming's hand, then showed no reaction, shifting their gazes to the entrance of the transportation point, completely ignoring Ye Zhongming.
The King of Cloud Summit withdrew his hand and said nothing, simply standing there and also looking at that spot.
The others behind him exchanged glances, feeling that things were different from what they had anticipated. Was Ye Zhongming planning to endure this?
Dodo approached Ye Zhongming and whispered, "Boss Ye, if you want to take action, I can help."
Now that Dodo had money, he had become a powerful figure and was speaking with much more confidence.
Ye Zhongming shook his head with a smile, growing fonder of this seemingly rough man. Initially, Ye Zhongming thought Dodo simply understood the situation and could discern benefits and drawbacks, thus daring to make decisions, which led him to choose Cloud Summit Manor. But now it seemed that this person's strengths went far beyond that.
Many small races had a change in attitude towards Ye Zhongming after the conflict between the Star Eye Clan and him. Although they didn't explicitly take sides, they deliberately maintained a distance, clearly wanting to see the outcome of the struggle between the two parties before making a choice.
Ye Zhongming didn’t think there was anything wrong with these people. The survival strategy of small races was like this; they preferred not to choose rather than choosing wrongly. By not choosing, they at least wouldn’t suffer losses, and while development might be more challenging, a wrong choice could lead to their extermination.
He had thought that Dodo would be similar, but unexpectedly, this individual not only distinctly took a stance but also indicated that regardless of the outcome of the conflict between Ye Zhongming and the Star Eye Clan, he would never reconsider his choice.
This made Ye Zhongming appreciate him very much.
At least from an outsider's perspective, he was currently in a weak position compared to the frequently appearing powerful members of the Star Eye Clan. To still choose Ye Zhongming required a lot of courage.
Seeing Ye Zhongming refuse, Dodo shrugged and said, "Just call me if you want to make a move," before standing by Ye Zhongming's side, waiting.
