“Wait a minute, I have a question!”
An unknown voice, as if amplified by loudspeakers, rang out from all directions, causing a slight stir in the crowd outside.
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Haifeng slightly furrowed his brows...
The live broadcast faithfully recorded this moment—as if Lin Haifeng was unaware of this “accident.”
“This old dog is really putting on a show!”
Sitting in front of the television, Wen Yu took a big gulp of beer and silently cursed in his heart.
...
Lin Haifeng certainly knew about it, as this was part of the plan itself.
However, knowing it himself was one thing, but letting others know that he knew was another matter entirely.
Thus, Lin Haifeng cast a glance at the soldier responsible for guarding near the warning line below, then ignored the voice from earlier and continued his interrupted speech.
“Today marks the alliance between the human race and the oceanic tribe...”
“I said! I have a question!!!”
The voice, seemingly filled with anger and rising in volume, echoed from an unknown source.
Under the amplification of either a skill or an item, the previous words predictably interrupted Lin Haifeng's speech once more.
Lin Haifeng silently looked down.
Below, a massive number of military and police personnel were searching for the source of the voice, but there was no doubt that they found nothing at all.
...
As Lin Haifeng fell silent, the entire ceremony site seemed to have hit the pause button, falling into silence.
All the spectators present understood one thing—something seemed to have gone wrong.
With a composed expression, Lin Haifeng made a subtle gesture to those behind him, and then he kept talking calmly.
“Could the friend who keeps interrupting me please show themselves?”
Without a doubt, this nonsensical question received no response.
Then, Lin Haifeng spoke again.
“Since you’re unwilling to reveal yourself, then, my friend, let’s converse this way. What exactly is your question?”
Behind Lin Haifeng, his group of “bodyguards,” informed of the situation, stealthily moved into the crowd under Tang Haofei's lead—regular military and police forces were insufficient to capture the “troublemaker,” but the elite members were sufficient, right?
Moreover, with such a large-scale meeting, it was impossible to stop just because of one or two accidents...
Thus, at least to outsiders, Lin Haifeng's decision seemed perfectly reasonable.
And so...
Only the ten clan members that Lin Haifeng had brought along remained beside him and the Sea King!
...
“What I want to ask is about them, those beasts! Those murderers, those guys who look like members of the demonic clan! What right do they have to sit on the land of Beijing, on human land? Commander Lin, you haven’t forgotten what the oceanic tribe has done to us, have you?”
“My protest this time does not represent myself! But rather on behalf of the 7598 lives that were swept away by the tsunami at the Demon City gathering place a while ago!”
The voice roared from all directions, as if numerous loudspeakers had been installed around the venue; not just the surrounding crowd, but even in the Inner City, the faint sound could be heard!
The event mentioned by the “mysterious person” was not unfamiliar to Wen Yu.
This was exactly the “welcome gift” or “invitation” that the oceanic tribe had presented when they sought to ally with humanity a while ago.
“At that time, a massive tsunami swept through the Demon City gathering place, causing little damage and indirectly resolving the predicament of being surrounded by demonic creatures, but still, quite a few people died in the tsunami...”
These were Lin Haifeng's exact words when he invited Wen Yu to join this plan.
However, the fault in this matter did not lie with the oceanic tribe itself.
Let’s not even mention the mere 7598 human lives; at this point in time, the number of humans dying each day is at least ten times that amount. Just say that the tsunami manipulated by the oceanic tribe perfectly resolved the problems at the Demon City gathering place.
