At ten o 'clock at night, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again. This time, there were only two people who came. The woman walking in front had her chin held high. She was wearing an expensive suit, and her eyes were dazzling.
Seeing this person, Jiang Ningyi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly exclaimed, "Miss Lu, Miss Lu, I'm here. Help me!"
This person was none other than the acting Vice President of the Holy Grail Federation, Lu Xiaobing. However, she was now an official Vice President. The person behind Lu Xiaobing was none other than her old follower, Xie Feixi.
After entering the hall, Lu Xiaobing glared at Jiang Ningyi. Then, she walked up to Ding Meng and said, "Long time no see, Ding Meng!"
Ding Meng nodded as a greeting.
Lu Xiaobing glanced around and found that the four old men were all seriously injured and awake. Then, she said coldly, "Why don't you come over and thank Mr. Ding Meng for sparing your lives?"
Jiang Ningyi's eyes widened. "Miss Lu, my grandfather is Jiang Qianchen. Jiang Qianchen …"
Lu Xiaobing really hated him. This person was ignorant and incompetent. He only knew how to eat, drink, and enjoy. This time, he caused such a big trouble. He could have provoked anyone, but he dared to provoke Ding Meng. Did he have a death wish?
"Shut up!"
Lu Xiaobing interrupted him coldly. "Even if your grandfather is here, he has to apologize to Mr. Ding Meng today!"
Jiang Ningyi was stunned again. He argued unhappily, "Isn't he just the champion of the Fengyun Gathering?
Why are you so scared?
When I go back and tell my grandfather, I'll kill him … "
As he spoke, he glared at Lan Bing fiercely. "And this woman, I want her!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobing was really frightened. Perhaps it was a small matter for him to acquire Bingyi Group's airline route, but if he dared to have any ideas about Lan Bing, he would be digging his own grave.
Back then, Lu Xiaobing did not know the depth of Ding Meng's strength and recklessly tested his temper. After that, she was similar to Jiang Ningyi. She did not take Ding Meng seriously and was very unconvinced. It was not until a series of events later that Lu Xiaobing realized that even the higher-ups of the Federation could not afford to be involved in an incident involving a master like Ding Meng. If they were involved, they would die.
Ding Meng had saved her and Xie FeiXi's lives on the Golden Elephant Battleship, so there was no need to guess which side her ass was facing. Moreover, in the five years after Ding Meng left, Lu Xiaobing was officially the Vice President. After she learned about Bingyi Group and Ding Meng's information in detail, she had always been on Bingyi Group's side.
But now, Jiang Ningyi was still roaring nonstop.
Ding Meng and the other two were too lazy to pay attention to him. Lan Bing smiled charmingly. "Miss Lu, long time no see!"
Lu Xiaobing also smiled humbly. "President Lan, I'm sorry for making you suffer. I didn't expect something like this to happen. I specially came here from Saint Hui."
Lan Bing hurriedly explained to Ding Meng, "Ding Meng, Miss Lu has been taking care of us all these years. She has also shouldered a lot of pressure."
Ding Meng nodded again. Lu Xiaobing was able to become the Vice President not because of her appearance. This woman was at least smart enough to learn from her mistakes.
Lu Xiaobing showed an apologetic expression. "Ding Meng, I'm really sorry. I know about the acquisition of the route, but His Excellency the President insisted on his opinion. My voice was too weak."
Ding Meng sighed. "That's very kind of you. I'll remember Miss Lu's kindness!"
Lu Xiaobing was slightly relieved. Getting a favor from Ding Meng was not a big deal. Angering Ding Meng was a big deal. This man had even made a move against the Empire's Head of State, let alone the Vice President of the Federation. As for people like Jiang Ningyi, Ding Meng did not even bother to pay attention to them. If it were not for the fact that they tried to get their hands on his exclusive property, Ding Meng would not be interested in arguing with them.
At this time, Xie Feixi also took the initiative to explain. His voice was a little low. "Ding Meng, Miss Lu is not here to plead for mercy. But we haven't received any news from the President."
Ding Meng said, "It seems that this new President is very headstrong."
Everyone looked at each other. Ding Meng was the only one who dared to say something like this. No one else present dared to say anything.
Mu Juyan, who was standing off to the side, was still a little suspicious before. Now, he was completely honest. Even the Vice President of the Federation behaved properly in front of Ding Meng. He was just the Governor of Blue Pole Star City.
Lu Xiaobing said, "Ding Meng, there will be people coming in a while. I guess you must have something to do as well. Why don't we go somewhere else to talk?"
She was implying that they should drop the matter here. Ding Meng also knew that Lu Xiaobing was not here just to meet him. So, he turned to look at Lan Bing. "How long has this kid been harassing you?"
Lan Bing said, "Almost a year."
Ding Meng said, "Isn't he the same as Yu Anjie?"
Lan Bing said disdainfully, "Yu Anjie is much better than him. At the very least, he won't have any designs on the Bingyi Group."
Ding Meng said, "That's true. At the very least, he's convinced. However, this kid seems to be very unconvinced."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. Ding Meng was not going to let this matter rest.
Ding Meng looked at the black-robed old man who was curled up in the distance. The old man was immediately drawn over by telekinesis. "How old are you this year?"
The black-robed old man had already experienced Ding Meng's strength. He was so nervous that he could not speak.
Xie Feixi continued, "Ding Meng, Qu Kong, Qu Lao, one of the seniors of the Jiang family. He once performed meritorious service during the war against the Norse Empire. At that time, the Parliament even specially rewarded him."
He clearly had the intention of interceding for the black-robed old man. Since he had participated in the war against the Norse Empire, he was at least 200 years old. It was not easy for a normal Origin Ability user to reach the level of a warlord at 200 years old.
Ding Meng put down Qu Kong and sighed. "A mighty warlord is actually willing to be the fighter of this playboy. What's the point of your martial arts cultivation?"
Qu Kong half-knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"
Ding Meng laughed. "If I say that I'm going to cripple this kid's hands, would you believe me?"
Jiang Ningyi suddenly became nervous. If other people said this, they would at most be bluffing. However, since it was Ding Meng who said it, it was not a joke. Lu Xiaobing, Xie Feixi, and Mu Juyan all remained silent. It was clear that they were used to this.
Qu Kong gritted his teeth and said, "You're such a powerful expert. There's no need for you to make a move against a small character at the level of a warlord. If you have something to say, come at me."
Ding Meng laughed. "So you think that you're a big character just because you're a warlord? In my eyes, you're not even trash. You actually dared to have ideas about Xiao Bing. Just based on this, you deserve to die. However, I'll give you a chance now. Go and cripple this kid's hands, and I'll let you leave."
After he finished speaking, the table knife in Ding Meng's hand automatically floated in front of Qu Kong. Under the illumination of the restaurant's lights, the cold light of the knife's blade was particularly frightening.
Qu Kong was furious. "You're delusional!"
Ding Meng nodded. "I know that you don't dare. If you really cripple this kid's hands, when you go back, the Grand President will make you wish you were dead. Since you don't have this awareness, then I'll cripple you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Meng's eyes began to exert force. Countless telekinetic particles entered Qu Kong's body. Qu Kong's body immediately convulsed in pain. In less than ten seconds, he foamed at the mouth and fainted again.
The group of people were shocked because no one could see what Ding Meng had done to Qu Kong.
Ding Meng's gaze fell on Mu Juyan. "Don't worry, Sir. I won't kill him. I just crippled all the origin points in his body. If he wants to recover, he'll have to cultivate for another one or two hundred years."
Mu Juyan and the group of soldiers were completely dumbfounded. This was really crippling someone. Such a method was not only unpredictable, but also extremely cruel.
Xie Feixi did not say anything. Ding Meng's words were actually directed at him. If he did not have the authority, then he should not speak carelessly. Disaster came from the mouth.
Jiang Ningyi looked at Qu Kong, who was like a corpse, in horror. Now, he had completely lost his temper. This person really dared to cripple the Jiang family's expert. As for you, you were indeed worse than trash.
"Elder Qu!" The remaining three elders were furious when they saw this scene.
The three of them were Qu Kong's disciples. Now that their master had been crippled, the three of them were furious and rushed toward Ding Meng without caring about anything else.
"You're courting death!" Ding Meng suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
A shocking wave of energy rippled forward in the air. The three people who were halfway through their charge turned into three wisps of smoke on the spot.
The banquet hall was dead silent. Three living Battle-Sages were gone just like that.
Xie Feixi sighed and silently lowered his head. He was an expert, so he naturally understood that Ding Meng's attack was an invisible wave of energy that could instantly kill a Battle-Sage. However, this wave of energy was controlled so precisely by Ding Meng. It swung forward in a semicircle, and it did not even affect the surrounding tables, chairs, and lamps. How strong must one be to be able to control it so well?
Previously, when he saw Qu Kong being crippled, he felt a little sad. However, now, he could not even think about it.
Ding Meng lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ningyi, who was trembling on the ground. He said seriously, "You're lucky that these three old fellows died for you. However, you won't be so lucky next time. Go back and tell your grandfather that if he wants to buy the Bingyi Group's flight route, it's best that he personally comes to negotiate. Also, it's best that he shows his sincerity.
If you don't have enough money, then I don't mind changing the president of the Holy Grail Federation. "
These words were so domineering that Jiang Ningyi did not even have the courage to reply.
Mu Juyan sighed and turned his head to order the soldiers, "Take Young Master Jiang and Elder Qu to the medical center for treatment."
A group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and carried the two of them out. Mu Juyan also felt that it was useless to say anything more. He bowed slightly to Ding Meng and said, "Mr. Ting, President Lan, sorry for the disturbance. Goodbye!"
It was only after Mu Juyan and the others left that Lu Xiaobing politely extended her hand. "Ding Meng, President Lan, President Liang, I believe there's a place in Blue Pole Star City that you're interested in visiting. Please!"
