Even though Wen Yu felt a bit puzzled about Qin Tian and Arthur's "sudden disappearance," he always adhered to a principle in his actions.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall—this is the nice way to put it.
To put it bluntly, it means to take care of oneself and ignore others.
In the current situation, Wen Yu was afraid that one careless move could lead him back into a pit set by Lin Haifeng.
Therefore, at the moment when the alliance ceremony was about to begin, he vowed to stay put as long as the ceremony continued, and Lin Haifeng's Sea King control plan had not yielded results!
Perhaps they were just delayed by something, Wen Yu thought to himself, somewhat self-deceiving.
...
After coming to this conclusion, Wen Yu thoroughly positioned himself as an outsider, eating and drinking while observing the television screen.
When the clock struck ten and the countdown on the screen ended, the entire live broadcast shifted from the image of several elderly experts discussing passionately to the live scene at People's Square.
“It’s starting,” he heard Yang Hong say with interest, to which Wen Yu replied nonchalantly.
“Yeah, it's starting.”
...
The vast People's Square in the outer district, originally hailed as the largest refugee concentration camp in Beijing, was now filled with a massive influx of refugees fleeing from all over the world to Beijing.
They were each provided with a set of bedding and a tent, a gesture of “consideration” from the military.
Today, the alliance ceremony was being held here, ostensibly to allow the Sea King clan to make an appearance in front of the masses, deepening humanity's understanding of the deep-sea race while boosting their confidence in fighting against the demonic clan.
However, Lin Haifeng's intention was simple— the more people, the bigger the scene, the more chaotic, the more interesting his methods could be.
If it were merely a simple contract signing, it could be done anywhere. If he signed a contract deep in the ocean, how could Lin Haifeng manipulate things from the middle?
In summary, the official theory convinced the Sea King, who also needed this signing ceremony in front of the public to familiarize more humans with the Sea King clan and reduce humanity's hostility toward another intelligent race living on Earth—this would only benefit them in combating the demonic disaster.
Thus, today, the formerly chaotic People's Square was tidied up early, with military personnel setting up a security line a kilometer away and rolling out a red carpet on the ground to show respect for the Sea King.
The grand podium was already set up, everything was ready, just waiting for the main characters to arrive for this grand performance to begin!
...
The "main characters" did not disappoint everyone for long.
The alliance ceremony scheduled for ten o'clock officially started at ten-thirty—not too late for a large-scale event.
As the imposing military vehicle entered the venue, both the audience in front of the television and the crowd outside the security line knew that the real protagonists had arrived!
The military vehicle's door slowly opened, and Lin Haifeng was the first to step down.
Dressed in an all-black suit, he showcased his figure.
The elder, who was not particularly tall, appeared somewhat imposing in that attire.
When the other main character stepped down from the military vehicle, gasps filled the air.
The Sea King clan...
From a human aesthetic perspective, they looked quite frightening.
...
The Sea King's face bore what might be a twisted smile as he waved to the surrounding crowd, seemingly satisfied with himself.
Perhaps he was greeting the onlookers...
“This demeanor, hissing,” Wang Fu Cai beside Wen Yu uttered a nonsensical sound, possibly lamenting the appearance of the Sea King clan.
Wen Yu observed for quite a while and nodded slightly, remarking, “They resemble ancient demons a bit, but are taller, so their racial talents probably aren't weak!”
