The so-called Five Great Corporations were actually Shenghao Group, Xinhong Group, Tianhang Group, Hongyue Group, and Zhengxing Group. These were the five largest corporations in the Holy Grail Federation. Among them, Shenghao and Xinhong were the leaders.
After developing to their gigantic scale, they were no longer just a single corporation. They had all kinds of industries under their control. Among them, the entertainment industry had a corresponding celebrity agent. Xu Mengqing had been single-handedly raised by Xinhong. Now, she was really hot in the Federation.
However, this wasn't a good thing for Ding Meng. Because everyone knew that once these celebrities arrived at the resort, there would be a lot of attendants and bodyguards. Before he could figure out the truth of the matter, Ding Meng didn't want to expose himself.
In the evening, a fleet of luxurious "Rainbow Gold" flying cars descended from the night sky. Bai Nanhao personally went to the tarmac to pick them up.
The first person to come down was Xu Mengqing. She was still the same as before. She walked the beautiful and sexy route. Today, she wore a sky blue V-neck dress. Looking from afar, she was shockingly fashionable. However, when one got closer, one would find that her S-shaped figure was vividly displayed. Especially her slender waist and plump buttocks, it simply made people unable to move their eyes away.
However, the telekinesis microdots weren't focused on her body. Behind her were two bodyguards, one male and one female. The female wasn't Yi Lan. Moreover, the aura they revealed was that of a beginner combat master.
In this kind of gathering of celebrities, origin ability users would do their best to control their aura. In other words, these two attendants were most likely warlord level bodyguards. Of course, this was also very easy to figure out. As Xu Mengqing's fame increased year by year, the security personnel assigned to her by Xinhong also followed suit.
Bai Nanhao quickly stepped forward and revealed a sincere and moving smile. "Miss Xu, we are honored by your presence. It is truly an honor."
Xu Mengqing's complexion looked particularly rosy. She smiled and said, "Manager Bai, Manager Xiao Bai's happy occasion is approaching. Congratulations, congratulations."
Bai Nanhao politely extended his hand: "Please, please come in. The welcome banquet has already been prepared, we are just waiting for everyone."
Behind Xu Mengqing were two stunning beauties. One of them was dignified and well-dressed, looking as bright as a peony. She was Qin Zhongyi, a singer of Tianhang. The other one was bare-faced and wore simple clothes, but her appearance was pure and charming. She gave people the urge to hug and caress her. She was Ye Jingyan, a popular actress of the Hongyue Group.
At the end of the line was Zhengxing's male celebrity, Long Qi. This person was extraordinarily handsome and belonged to the type of perfect lover in the eyes of women. These three celebrities had one thing in common, and that was the large amount of people following behind them. All of them were origin ability users at the combat master level.
However, what made Ding Meng surprised was that although Ye Jingyan looked well-behaved and gentle, her body emitted a faint trace of biochemical energy. The corner of Ding Meng's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. "She actually has such good control over her aura. This is a bit interesting."
The welcome banquet was arranged in villa # 1. This was an exceptionally luxurious and elegant white hall. It was divided into three floors. The place was very spacious. The banquet was also carried out in the form of a buffet, allowing everyone to walk around.
Although eating didn't depend on fame or status, the crowd still spontaneously divided themselves into different levels.
Several celebrities were naturally invited to a booth in the middle of the third floor. From this position, one could overlook the entire hall. The first and second floors were mostly filled with youngsters, but there was a very eye-catching existence in the hall.
Xu Mengqing quickly noticed that at the southern side of the hall, there was actually only a young man sitting there alone. The surrounding crowd seemed to be very far away from him, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him. This person seemed to have a plague attribute.
The strangest thing was that this person didn't order any drinks or snacks. Instead, he ordered a bowl of clear water noodles and picked at them one by one.
Xu Mengqing was an experienced and knowledgeable person. When she saw this scene, she knew that there must be a reason behind it. She turned her head and asked, "Hong Ye, what's going on?"
The female bodyguard wearing sunglasses immediately stepped forward and bowed her head. "Miss Xu, this person is the representative sent by Sheng Hao. His name is Sheng Tianming. It is said that he is from outer space."
She tried her best to be brief and tactful, but everyone present understood that Sheng Hao, the Bai family, and Xing Hong were not on good terms. Not only did they send an agent, but this person actually had the face to stay here and refused to leave. No wonder the crowd around him despised him.
"Sheng Tianming?"
Xu Mengqing frowned slightly. She had actually met many representatives of Sheng Hao Group. "How come I've never heard of this person?"
Qin Zhongyi smiled and said, "It's already good that someone from Sheng Hao Group came. Naturally, it's impossible for a celebrity that everyone knows to come."
Her words made Bai Nanhao, who was next to her, lose face. After all, Ding Meng was a guest. As the host, he couldn't go down and drive the guest away. However, Ding Meng didn't leave and ordered a bowl of noodles to eat. He didn't know whether Ding Meng did it on purpose or to provoke him?
Several big stars were good at reading people's expressions. They knew that this kind of thing could be big or small, but it was really not easy to deal with. Xu Mengqing suddenly smiled and said, "Boss Bai Nanzheng is also a senior executive of Xing Hong. Xing Hong and the Bai family are family. Let me go down."
Bai Nanhao hurriedly said, "Miss Xu's body is precious. You should enjoy the banquet. How can we trouble you?"
Xu Mengqing smiled and said, "It's okay. Boss Bai, you are too polite. It's just a matter of duty."
There were many young men and women in the hall on the first floor. But as the gorgeous Xu Mengqing walked down the escalator, everyone's eyes naturally gathered on her body.
"Hello, may I sit here?" Xu Mengqing came to the opposite side of Ding Meng and asked with a sweet and enchanting voice.
But unfortunately, Ding Meng didn't even look at her. "Sit!"
Xu Mengqing had always been very confident in her own charm, but Ding Meng's cold attitude suddenly messed up the words she had prepared.
At this time, the role of a bodyguard was highlighted. Hong Ye took two steps forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Sheng. I hope you can take the initiative to leave after dinner. Thank you for your cooperation."
Ding Meng put down his chopsticks and raised his head to look at her.
For some reason, Hong Ye's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. It was the kind of clear and cold gaze that only experts could have. But the person in front of her clearly didn't have a trace of Origin Energy aura. He was clearly an ordinary person.
She didn't know that Ding Meng's control of Origin Energy had reached perfection after the "Diamond Star Secret Art" had constructed ten origins. People who weren't at the same level as him wouldn't be able to see any clues at all.
Aura fluctuations were sometimes like a person's breathing. Breathing was the most difficult to control. No matter how careful you were, if you gently exhaled, it would be perceived by others and they could immediately analyze your strength.
The so-called suppression of rank was based on the same principle. A warrior would probably feel as uncomfortable as suffocating if he or she were to look at an ordinary warrior. However, Ding Meng's control over Origin Energy had reached the point where he or she could stop breathing without any problems.
Ding Meng suddenly said, "Your surname is Bai?"
Hong Ye was stunned. "My surname is not Bai!"
Ding Meng said, "If your surname isn't Bai, then why are you saying all this nonsense?"
Hong Ye was speechless because Ding Meng's words were crude but reasonable. The host hadn't even said anything, yet he was trying to drive her away. Who was he?
What right did he have?
Hong Ye was about to step forward, but she was dissuaded by Xu Mengqing's gaze. Xu Mengqing's gaze meant that she couldn't be reckless in this place. The effect of persuading her away was far greater than the consequences.
Xu Mengqing revealed a generous and charming smile. "Hello, Mr. Sheng. It's an honor to meet you."
She spoke very skillfully. At least ninety percent of the people in the Federation knew that she was Xu Mengqing. Even refugees from outer space shouldn't be unfamiliar with this name. A superstar taking the initiative to sit down and chat with you was really giving you face.
Unexpectedly, Ding Meng sighed slowly. "Miss Xu, you're so forgetful."
Xu Mengqing looked at him with great interest. "Do we know each other before?"
Ding Meng sighed and said, "It's been four years, right?"
Xu Mengqing was puzzled. What did he mean?
Ding Meng said slowly, "Miss Xu, you should think carefully about what happened four years ago."
Four years ago was the time when Fang Zhenghao was killed. After hearing this, Xu Mengqing's expression didn't change, but her eyes clearly became suspicious. She asked tentatively, "Mr. Sheng, are you his friend?"
Ding Meng sneered. "It doesn't matter if I'm his friend or not. What's important is that this matter isn't over yet. It's just the beginning."
Xu Mengqing secretly took a deep breath. Previously, when she saw Sheng Tianming, other than feeling strange, she also had another feeling. Sheng Tianming made her feel uncomfortable, the kind that came from the bottom of her heart. She didn't expect this guy to have such shocking intentions.
However, she couldn't be too obvious in this situation. Xu Mengqing was still smiling. "Mr. Sheng, do you know what you're talking about?"
Ding Meng said leisurely, "Some people dare to do outrageous things, so they don't have to be afraid of others talking about it. Perhaps what they're most afraid of is not talking about it …"
If it wasn't talking about it, what else could it be?
It could only be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a poison for a poison.
Xu Mengqing was silent for a while. After a long time, she smiled and said, "Forgive me for being ignorant, but I've never heard of Mr. Sheng's name among the agents of Shenghao Group."
Ding Meng still said, "That's not important. What's important is that you should know that every accident of the Green Arrow Group has never been left unsolved. Even if four years have passed, sooner or later, someone will come out to uphold justice. That person may not be me, but you have to believe that that person definitely exists. He will not disappear."
Other people might not understand this, but Xu Mengqing definitely understood. Ding Meng's Green Arrow Group was indeed like what Sheng Tianming said. Every time something happened, someone would come out to clean up the aftermath. The most typical examples were two cases. One of them was when Ding Meng went to Bogku Planet alone to kill a few bandit leaders. At that time, Ding Meng had attracted the attention of the Starbow Group.
The other case was when the Green Arrow Group's supplies were robbed five years ago. Meng Yan of the Dragon-slaying Group and the Commander-In-Chief of the Surprise Attack Group sent a Combined Fleet to wipe out the "Skeleton Group" pirates at the border of the Federal Empire. These two cases were quite sensational in outer space at that time.
However, Fang Zhenghao's accident four years ago was a different story. After all, the mastermind was the Starbow Group. Who would come out this time?
Was it the Shenghao Group?
Or was it someone else?
Xu Mengqing really couldn't think of anyone who would dare to come out and kick the steel plate that was the Starbow Group.
She was still in a daze, but Sheng Tianming, who was sitting across the table, had already disappeared.
