According to tradition, the Experts Alliance headquarters did not welcome any visitors. This was an internal affair of the Experts Alliance and was completely closed off.
However, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. The Experts Alliance would hold an exam every year, and they'd held it for more than fifty years already. The first few didn't attract much attention, but towards the end, there would be some 'uninvited' guests.
The three great clans of the capital would send people to watch every year, but they'd always come on the day of the trial. This was the first time they'd come a day earlier.
"TS is here too!" Someone whispered.
After the motorcade of the three big families of the capital, an off-road vehicle drove in. The unique license plate number was TS 00009, which confirmed the identity of the person in the car.
"Brother Baosheng, Brother Zhennan, Brother Liguo, welcome."
Experts Alliance's vice-chief Lan Yue, clad in a blue robe, greeted them with a cupped fist salute.
Zheng clan's third master Zheng Liguo, Mo clan's second master Mo Zhennan, and Bai clan's head Bai Baosheng returned the greeting.
"Brother Baosheng, I didn't think our little squabble would alarm you."
Lan Yue looked at Bai Baosheng in surprise.
Who was Bai Baosheng?
The current head of the Bai clan. In the business world, he was the boss of a multinational corporation with assets of over a hundred billion. In the Experts World, he wasn't on the Heaven Board.
Bai Baosheng was also a mutant, but he had never fought with anyone before. Therefore, it was difficult to rank him on the Heaven Roll. However, Bai Baosheng was known as the genius of the Bai Clan since he was young. Some people even said that his talent surpassed his father, Bai Risheng.
Bai Baosheng smiled, "Brother Lan Yue is too kind. I've nothing better to do, so I came to watch."
"Please, come in!"
Lan Yue invited the three great clans to the VIP lounge, but didn't even glance at the TS vehicle.
The TS organization was an international organization, but each country's TS was a separate department. There was no hierarchy between them. Its structure was similar to that of the United Nations. Every six years, a team leader and a deputy leader would be elected to lead each country's TS through an election.
In essence, Hua Xia's TS was an official organization, while the Experts Alliance was just a signboard to make the gathering legal.
China's TS had always wanted to take over the Experts Alliance. Who would agree to something like that?
It wasn't just the old chief, but vice chief Lan Yue as well. Every time he saw someone from China's TS, he wouldn't spare them a glance.
Two people got out of the off-road vehicle. One was a young driver with a crew cut, and the other was a middle-aged man with two crisscrossed scars on his face. Both of them were wearing camouflage uniforms.
Hua Xia's TS organization had an exclusive designation 'TS' in the Hua Xia Army. This unit was not under the jurisdiction of any other army and only took orders from their immediate superiors.
"That scar-faced soldier is called Zhao Haisheng. Not long ago, the Huaxia Army held a private drill. It was this person who seriously injured Mo Zifei, who has the title of God of War."
Li Mo turned his head to see Bai Wudi waving his fan behind him. He was the one who spoke.
"You should know who Mo Zifei is, right?
He's your uncle, Mo Zhennan's youngest son. "
Li Mo didn't reply.
"In terms of strength, Mo Zifei and Zhao Haisheng are about the same. Unfortunately, your uncle was too confident. He looked down on Zhao Haisheng from the beginning and suffered a loss because of his carelessness. He was beaten until he coughed up blood and finally raised his hand to admit defeat. But unexpectedly, Zhao Haisheng didn't let Mo Zifei go. He pierced his chest with a knife, then cut the tendons in his arms and legs …"
Li Mo's voice was low, "Why did he fight when he surrendered?
Is this a military rule? "
In a fight, it didn't matter if one was treacherous or lacking in skill, a loss was a loss. But wasn't it a bit too much to still cut his tendons when he won?
"If you admit defeat, you should stop. There's no rule of continuing to fight. Zhao Haisheng didn't stop because he was the Army God from the previous world. Last time, he lost to the young Mo Zifei. That's the reason."
"Mo Zifei is still in the hospital. Rumor has it that even if he recovers, he'll be crippled for life …"
"He-he …" Li Mo snickered at Zhao Haisheng.
Bai Wudi shuddered. Li Mo's expression gave him goosebumps.
Bai Wudi did his research and knew Li Mo's past quite well.
"What happened that day? Why didn't the miasma work on you …"
Bai Wudi questioned Li Mo, but Li Mo didn't answer.
Vice-chief Lan Yue ignored Zhao Haisheng, but many in the Experts Alliance who knew Zhao Haisheng came to greet him.
"I'm going to rest. See you later."
Zhao Haisheng ignored the fawning crowd and went to the VIP lounge.
Zhao Haisheng was stopped at the VIP lounge.
Thump!
Thump!
Two guards were flattened against the wall.
Zhao Haisheng's feet were very fast. Many people didn't even see his movements before the two guards fell.
Zhao Haisheng pushed the door open and heard Lan Yue's voice, "Zhao Haisheng, the Experts Alliance and TS have always minded our own business. Are you trying to make life difficult for us by barging into my territory?"
Blue light flashed and a basketball-sized ball of qi flew at him. Zhao Haisheng couldn't dodge and could only use his hands to block. But he was pushed back half a meter. Zhao Haisheng's arms twisted like a snake, deflecting the qi ball's force and flinging it at the crowd.
Boom!
The air mass exploded, accompanied by several screams.
This fist qi accidentally injured six mutants nearby.
Zhao Haisheng laughed, "Vice-chief Lan, it's been years. Your Hundred Steps Godly Fist has grown by quite a bit."
Lan Yue snorted. His blue shadow flickered and reappeared in front of Zhao Haisheng.
Zhao Haisheng's words were too vicious. He didn't have any good intentions when he deflected the qi ball and threw it at the crowd. But now he said Lan Yue's strength had grown. This was a slap to the face.
"Zhao Haisheng, are you representing TS to declare war on our Experts Alliance?
If you say yes, then I'll fulfill your wish! "
Lan Yue's robes fluttered despite the lack of wind. A powerful aura spread out, forcing the weaker ones to retreat, clutching their chests.
Not to mention exchanging blows, in a situation where there was too much of a difference in strength, just the pressure emitted by the strong was not something that the weak could resist.
"Don't, Vice-chief Lan. I, Zhao Haisheng, didn't come here to declare war on your Experts Alliance. I'm just here to take a look."
"Take a look?
You say you're here to take a look with so many injured? "
"It's a misunderstanding. I didn't want to. I just wanted to sit in the VIP room. Although I don't have a high position in TS, I'm still the current God of War. With my status, why can't I sit in the VIP room?"
Zhao Haisheng's eyes lit up when he saw Mo Zhennan.
"Oh, if it isn't Mo clan's second master?
Long time no see. You look so spirited. Junior Zhao Haisheng greets you. "Zhao Haisheng bowed.
If he hadn't injured Mo Zifei, Zhao Haisheng's actions would've been understandable. But anyone could see he was doing it on purpose to humiliate the Mo clan.
"Right, second master Mo, Mo Zifei, Army God Mo, how are things going?
Are you feeling better?
To tell you the truth, I'm regretting my actions that day … "
"Zhao Haisheng, don't pretend. Our debt has only just begun."
"Oh, second master Mo, what are you talking about? What's there to settle? I'll just return the Army God title to Mo Zifei."
Zhao Haisheng grinned cheekily, but the scar on his face was too glaring. No matter what expression he made, it only made him look more sinister.
Lan Yue shouted, "Zhao Haisheng, I'll give you three seconds to consider. If you don't want TS and Experts Alliance to go to war, then stay out of my way!"
"I don't need three seconds, just one."
