Standing in the crowd, Wen Yu watched as the Sea King discovered his location and conveniently pointed the way for Fran. There was no need to hide any longer, so he revealed himself.
Black light surged around him, and the dark power turned Wen Yu's body ethereal. In an instant, he appeared beside Fran.
The onlookers were surprised to see a figure suddenly appear next to Fran but didn’t know who he was—Wen Yu had already concealed his face with dark power to avoid trouble.
Upon seeing Wen Yu, Fran let out a heavy sigh of relief: “I thought you weren’t coming. I was really afraid you’d bail on me…”
“Of course not. I, Wen Yu, always keep my word.”
Wen Yu's expression was calm—he certainly wouldn’t admit that he had considered ditching the military.
“Since you’re here, let’s go.”
Fran informed Wen Yu, then turned to face the Sea King’s group.
“Coincidentally, your excellency the Sea King is here too, why don’t we all go together?”
One or two is still the same; this informal gathering could proceed however was convenient.
The Sea King was curiously observing Wen Yu, who was shrouded in black mist. Upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement.
“I have long heard of lord Wen Yu’s name, and it is indeed an honor to travel with you on this journey.”
Once again, such flowery language… Wen Yu felt a sudden chill, and goosebumps rose all over his body. However, even though the Sea King looked fierce, his attitude was friendly, and Wen Yu felt embarrassed to give him a slap; he could only nod lightly, agreeing to the proposal of traveling together.
Seeing this, the Sea King dismounted from his armored vehicle, came to Wen Yu's side, and under Fran's guidance and the military's clearance, they headed toward the main entrance of the Beijing gathering area.
Fran walked in front, while Wen Yu and the Sea King's entourage followed behind, with military personnel on either side. This group of soldiers separated the Sea King’s party from the spectators, but even so, Wen Yu still felt quite uncomfortable.
It was like being a gorilla on display for others to gawk at... If he had known, he would have snuck into Beijing himself...
Wen Yu thought this way, but staying outside for Fran to pick him up was a key instruction from Lin Haifeng—he needed to let the outsiders know that Wen Yu had arrived in Beijing, to deter certain troublemakers.
There were many races on Earth, and relations among them were not all peaceful. There were quite a few races hostile to the human race—during peacetime, countless beings had been driven to the brink of extinction by humans. It was not surprising for intelligent mutated beasts to harbor resentment against humans; it would be strange if they liked them…
This was also the main reason Lin Haifeng needed Wen Yu to preside over the ten thousand races conference.
Wen Yu was well aware of these matters. Although he looked down on the combat capabilities of mutated creatures, Lin Haifeng's intention in holding the conference was commendable, and Wen Yu was happy to assist humanity on such important issues.
The group moved at a brisk pace and soon passed through the main entrance of the Beijing gathering area, officially entering the inner city of Beijing.
The crowd of onlookers gradually thinned, and military security intensified. At this moment, the Sea King finally opened his mouth…
“I heard that the Star of Africa established by lord Wen Yu has been developing well in recent years?”
Although it was a coincidence that the Sea King was walking with Wen Yu, as a clan leader, he was adept at finding opportunities in coincidences. With Wen Yu right beside him, when else would he take the chance to get familiar with him?
Wen Yu, of course, was aware of his influence. He knew that walking alongside the Sea King, this guy would surely want to strike up a conversation. Moreover, after five years of ups and downs, he had become quite adept at handling such situations.
Wen Yu nodded: “The Star of Africa has indeed developed well, and I have a large number of mutated beast subordinates in Africa. In fact, the Sea King clan is rare to see; if your excellency has the chance, you can come to the Star of Africa, and I will surely give you a warm welcome.”
