Though I did not say it with enough vehemence and conviction, it showed my determination.
Xu Yuan's emotions calmed down a little. In fact, he also understood that with my strength, killing him was easier than stepping on an ant. To be able to apologize so sincerely was already commendable. As for whether it was just words, I don't know.
"Alright, then I might have misunderstood you." Xu Yuan didn't continue to argue.
Seeing that I wasn't angry, Second Lieutenant Lei let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but glare at Xu Yuan.
"Second Lieutenant Lei, what kind of guests came today? Why is it so heavily guarded?"
Little Cherry couldn't help but change the topic. Basically, there were several military vehicles patrolling every few hundred meters. Even as Shang Guoqiang's granddaughter, she had never seen such a big scene.
Once I asked about this, Second Lieutenant Lei's expression became slightly solemn.
"Ah, Miss Shang Guoqiang, to be honest, the envoys from the three small countries at the border came today. The old man was afraid that the news would spread, so he sent people to strictly guard the place," Second Lieutenant Lei hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
Although the geography wasn't very good, Little Cherry also knew the three small countries that Second Lieutenant Lei mentioned.
"Ah … What are they doing here?" Little Cherry looked puzzled.
"I'm not too sure. It seems that they want to reconcile. As far as I know, not long after the elite preliminaries, under the old man's instructions, the top few young talents came to the border one after another to cooperate in the battle. However, those genetic mutants were too fierce. They could pierce through the body of a bulletproof car with their bare hands. Those few people didn't get the upper hand, and it seems that one of them even died. The old man had to ask for help from the local martial arts sect, the Five Poison Order. Later, he sent a powerful protector to stabilize the situation," Second Lieutenant Lei shook his head.
Then, he continued, "Miss, you should know the old master's temper very well. Although the Guardian of the Five Venoms Sect doesn't mind helping, it's easy for the news to leak if he keeps staying there. Once the outside world finds out that we're asking for help from the martial arts sects, we'll inevitably become a laughing stock. The old master is also very prideful …"
As early as a year or two ago, when the Genetic Mutants had just emerged, they attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. Most people felt that the situation in Hua Xia was not optimistic, especially in Nan Yun. After all, as the capital of the border, it was a stronghold of transportation. There was no room for any accidents. Many people suggested to let martial artists take action.
Grandpa Shangguan was not happy at that time. He felt that this was questioning the military strength of the Nan Yun Nation. He had publicly stated that such a small matter did not require the help of martial arts masters, and that it was purely making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, the genetic mutants grew very quickly and had terrifying regenerative abilities. This was especially true for the genetic mutant warriors. Even the most advanced guns could not pose a fatal threat to them.
Coincidentally, Shangguan Guoqiang and Curator Du had been friends for many years. The two of them hit it off immediately. The elite competition had an additional rule. The top geniuses had to fight at the border unconditionally.
As it turned out, the young geniuses in the martial arts world had limited abilities. In other words, the genetic mutant warriors were really abnormal.
Although the Guardian of the Five Venoms Sect was there to keep watch, it could not be resolved once and for all. If someone found out, it would be the same as slapping Shangguan Guoqiang's face.
After all, the people of the Five Venoms Sect were real martial arts masters. Normally, the martial arts world would not interfere with the matters of the secular world. However, if there was a critical problem, they would not just sit and do nothing.
However, Shangguan Guoqiang was too prideful, so he said that he was going to make things difficult for himself.
It was obvious that keeping the Guardian of the Five Venoms Sect there to keep watch wasn't a long-term solution. Hence, today's negotiation was held.
"Oh."
After listening to Little Cherry's explanation, I was suddenly enlightened. However, I also felt strange. Why didn't Grandpa Shangguan look for me?
He clearly knew that I had achieved dazzling results in the capital. Could it be that he had no confidence in my strength?
That was a possibility. No matter what, I was only famous in the martial arts world. From Grandpa Shangguan's point of view, a genetic mutant warrior that even the Guardian of the Five Venoms Sect couldn't deal with, so I shouldn't have any chance …
"Drive faster. Let's go and take a look," I suggested.
"Okay!"
Xu Yuan excitedly agreed. Anyway, he just wanted to watch a good show. Moreover, the envoys from the three countries were his enemies.
"Brother Zhuang, that's not good. Grandpa Shangguan told us that no one is to disturb them while they are negotiating." Second Lieutenant Lei frowned.
"It's okay. With us here, Grandpa Shangguan won't blame you," I couldn't help but comfort him.
"That's right. Listen to Big Brother Xiao Zhuang."
Little Cherry pouted. That cute and playful look made me want to kiss her. Especially her bulging chest, which presented an incomparably seductive curve.
It was no wonder that a lot of men liked lolis. After all, lolis had three advantages. Their bodies were light and soft, and they were easy to push down.
Not to mention Little Cherry's voluptuous girl!
Seeing that Little Cherry had spoken, Second Lieutenant Lei didn't say anything else.
At the same time, on the second floor of the military canteen.
"Old Mister Shangguan, you still have the nerve to treat us in such a simple and crude place?"
The envoy from the old nest looked around. Although it was a relatively large private room, the decorations were basically the same as it was ten years ago.
"That's right. Eating is about the environment. Look at these dishes. The soup is so plain. How can we eat it!?" The envoy from South Yue said with disdain.
They all spoke Chinese, which was considered standard. Because they were originally from Hua Xia, but due to certain reasons, they transferred to another country's nationality. Now, they represented three small countries and brought a few people with them to negotiate with Shangguan Guoqiang.
"Cough. Everyone, I'm really sorry. The military's facilities are only like this. If you want to find a decent hotel nearby, you will need to drive at least two hours. Anyway, today's topic is to negotiate, not to eat, right?" Shangguan Guoqiang couldn't help but smile.
