Before the storm arrives, there is always an eerie calm.
Of course, those who can feel this "calm" are the senior members of the human race who are aware of the plan.
The ordinary citizens, on the other hand, are eagerly awaiting the monumental event of the alliance between the two races—an event that is undoubtedly a tremendous joy for them!
And the Sea King, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere gathering in the capital of Beijing, spent most of his time in the library after obtaining Lin Haifeng's approval, greedily absorbing the knowledge of the human race.
Wen Yu, on the other hand, was entirely unaware of all this, or perhaps simply uninterested.
At this moment, Wen Yu had fully embraced the traits of a reclusive nerd that he originally lacked. Every day, he remained holed up in the new headquarters of the Three Skull Society, enjoying a world that belonged solely to him alongside a few spirit pets.
Wen Yu was waiting—waiting for everything to conclude, waiting for Tang Haofei to resolve the issue with Qin Shiyuan, before he would immediately flee!
In the midst of this bizarre silence, two days quickly passed.
...
“Welcome to our live broadcast of the alliance ceremony, dear friends in front of the television. I am your host, Li Xiang.”
The military’s television station began airing the live coverage of the alliance ceremony early in the morning. Looking at the host’s beaming face, Wen Yu glanced down at his watch—it was eight o'clock in the morning.
The alliance ceremony was scheduled to take place at ten in the morning.
Of course, this event would naturally involve various speeches, and there was also Lin Haifeng’s “Sea King Control Plan,” which was yet to be revealed. It seemed that this grand “performance” would probably last until evening.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The door was knocked upon, and Yang Hong walked in carrying a pile of steaming food, along with a red invitation card in his hand.
“Big boss, this morning the military sent us an invitation to attend the alliance ceremony. Lin Haifeng has reserved some good seats for us.”
“Throw it away.”
Wen Yu took the breakfast from Yang Hong’s hands, completely ignoring the invitation beside him.
After a moment of contemplation, Wen Yu decisively said to Yang Hong, “In a bit, gather everyone. None of us are going to that ridiculous alliance ceremony today!”
...
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, Yang Hong didn’t eat breakfast with him and immediately got up to carry out the task.
It didn’t take long before Yang Hong returned with Wang Fu Cai and Qin Tian into Wen Yu's room.
Everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived.
As for those who hadn’t come, Wen Yu still felt a bit uneasy.
“What about Arthur?”
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment. “He might be with my sister. Let me ask him.”
After saying that, Qin Tian immediately took out his communicator and turned to leave the room.
Through the crack in the door, Wen Yu could clearly hear the conversation between Qin Tian and Arthur.
“Where are you guys?”
“We're still in the underground research facility. By the way, I have good news to tell you! Tang Haofei just arrived, and he’s currently enhancing Qin Shiyuan’s physical limits. It shouldn’t take long; she’ll be fully recovered soon.”
Upon hearing this news, Qin Tian let out a heavy sigh.
From Wen Yu's inference... it seemed that Qin Tian was relieved.
Therefore, Qin Tian, without hesitation, replied, “Wait for me, I’m coming over now!”
After saying that, Qin Tian immediately hung up the communicator and turned back into the room.
...
Seeing Qin Tian raise his eyebrows in inquiry, Wen Yu smiled and said, “If you want to go, just go. That’s a good thing. I don’t need to stop you. Let’s leave Beijing as soon as you bring back Qin Shiyuan and Arthur. There’s no need to watch this alliance ceremony.”
It was just about picking someone up, and Wen Yu didn’t think too much about it. Qin Tian's hesitation was regarding Wen Yu's earlier request—that no one was allowed to attend the alliance ceremony.
