Qin Tian took a leisurely sip of coffee, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
“It’s tough… This time, quite a few strong characters emerged. The Japanese gathering has secretly trained their great swordsmen, and there’s the United States and Russia. You know they’ve never been very compliant with the control of Beijing. With examples like sequence one and sequence two, where individual power crushes collective strength, these guys have cultivated several limit breakers with all their national resources, posing a significant threat to us.”
“...So funny…”
Walter simply chuckled two words and then narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Qin Tian. After about a minute of silence, Qin Tian sighed helplessly.
“I can’t say anything else to you. You know our strength, right? Me, Caius, sequence six—Fran, sequence seven—Qin Min, sequence nine—Lan Bo, sequence ten—Vincent, sequence eleven—Dugu Jian, Arthur, and the strong ones hidden by the old man. I won’t hide it from you; you probably won’t do well in this sequence ranking battle. The old man has long decided that you won’t be getting a reward in the top five of the sequence. With this goal in mind, he might even personally step in to take you down.”
“Maybe you can win against me or Caius, but you can never win against Commander Lin. Really, Walter, listen to me, just come back.”
“Forget it.”
Walter just shook his head and then pulled out a magic crystal from his Spatial Ring and tossed it on the table.
There was really no need to continue this topic.
…
At a hotel in the Star of Africa, invested by America.
A group of human race powerhouses, separated from the gathering in Beijing, were discussing some “ambitious” battle plans.
“This time, our Holy America gathering, the Russian gathering, the Japanese gathering... along with fifteen other super gatherings, are forming a brotherhood alliance here. Starting from this sequence ranking battle, our goal is to push the strong ones from the Beijing gathering out of the top ten in the sequence, making it clear to Lin Haifeng that this world is not under his control!”
“Right!”
“Ura…”
“Hey!”
Watching a bunch of fired-up individuals, a man in red sitting in a corner rubbed his forehead helplessly.
“Were these guys always like this?”
A clear and sweet voice reached his ears. The man in red turned to see a stunning super beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, who had appeared beside him at some point. After hesitating for a moment, he used telepathy to reply.
“These people, well, how should I put it? Although they’ve never been very compliant with the control of the Beijing gathering or the earth community, they at least maintained some semblance of respect on the surface. However, ever since the second sequence ranking battle, these individuals have completely lost their composure. Who knows who gave them this confidence?”
“Haha.”
A gentle laugh broke the silence. The blonde beauty covered her mouth and chuckled for a moment before saying something kind.
“You can’t look at it that way; there are still a few decent guys among them. Look at that Japanese guy; he should be called Kato Akira, right? His strength is decent.”
“Hmm, not bad, his physical fitness is close to thirty thousand points.”
“What rank do you think he can achieve?”
“If he can enter the sequence, he’ll be burning incense…”
The man in red yawned out of boredom.
The woman, however, appeared slightly surprised.
“Is that so? But he’s a limit breaker! No matter how you look at it, he should at least make it into the top thirty of the sequence…”
The man in red glanced at her and, looking at her beautiful face, felt an increasing sense of familiarity.
“Um, have we met before?”
The woman just smiled without saying a word. After a while, the realization hit the man in red.
“Oh, oh, oh! I remember now, you’re Carmel, right? Sequence eight.”
The woman simply nodded, without any expression of arrogance. However, what the man in red said next made Carmel's smile falter.
