Skyfire Museum.
Conference room.
The antique conference room was large, nearly three hundred square meters in area.
Expensive famous paintings hung on the walls. Coupled with the dark red decorations, it was simple and unadorned.
Twelve people sat on either side of the long table. Including the Clairvoyant, there were thirteen in total.
The Wine Master sat to the Clairvoyant's left. The Jewelry Master, Lan Jue, sat to his left. Next to Lan Jue was the Gourmet.
The Clairvoyant lifted a hand and gently tapped the table in front of him.
Everyone's eyes focused on him.
"All of Skyfire's council members are here. The other five are away on other planets."
The Clairvoyant's wizened face had a strange charm to it. Everyone's eyes fell on him, but it was as if they were looking at an empty void.
However, there was more or less respect in everyone's eyes.
As Skyfire Avenue's longest-standing member, and the head of the Skyfire Avenue Council, the Clairvoyant had always been the brains of Skyfire Avenue.
The Clairvoyant continued. "I've called you all here today because there's an emergency that needs to be resolved.
The Eastern Alliance's government has sought me out today … "
The Clairvoyant trailed off, and Lan Jue's eyes flickered. The Eastern Alliance's government?
Could it be because of that?
"The Western Alliance's Pontiff's Citadel has sent a delegation to the Eastern Alliance. They wish to speak with us on Skyfire Avenue.
The Government Affairs Council hopes that we can accept this exchange. "
Revenge from the Western Alliance?
Lan Jue was surprised, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Although the Austin family was a powerful force in the Western Alliance, they couldn't use the Pontiff's Citadel's power.
The Pontiff's Citadel's position in the Western Alliance was similar to that of Skyfire Avenue in the Eastern Alliance. Perhaps even higher. They were a guest of honor, and wouldn't intervene because of a failed political marriage.
For the Clairvoyant to take this seriously, this meeting was no ordinary event.
Since the New Era, mecha technology had developed rapidly and had already become the mainstream on the battlefield.
The three Major Leagues, the Northern Alliance, the Western Alliance, and the Eastern Alliance were all developing new mechas and training elite mecha operators.
The three Major Leagues appeared to be harmonious on the surface, but in reality, there would often be friction on the bordering planets that the three Major Leagues shared.
With the advancement of mecha technology, a powerful mecha pilot on the battlefield already had the ability to change the outcome of a battle.
Piloting a mecha required a strong physique. The higher the genetic talent of a human, the easier it was for them to become an outstanding mecha pilot.
Therefore, Adepts received special attention.
Adepts were divided into several categories. Those who had awakened their innate genetic talents were known as Innate Adepts. The Eastern Alliance was dominated by such adepts.
The Adepts living on Skyfire Avenue were all innate Adepts. This was also the basic requirement to become a resident of Skyfire Avenue.
Those who used special methods to enhance their genetic talents were called Acquired Adepts.
Most of the Western Alliance belonged to this category. In the field of genetic enhancement drugs, the Western Alliance was second to none among the three Major Leagues.
In the Western Alliance, there were two main representatives of acquired Adepts. One was the Pontiff's Citadel, the other the Dark Citadel.
Although the Citadel was called the Citadel, it was also an Adept organization.
In addition to these two, there was another type of Adept. Implanting machinery into the human body, combining it with the human body. Through the use of advanced technology, the human body was strengthened and strengthened. Combined with the machinery, they gained immense power.
This type was known as Altered Adepts.
The Northern Alliance had the most advanced technology in this area. They had their own Altered Adept organization, the Major League.
Of the three types of Adepts, the Innate Adepts were the least numerous. The latter two were the most numerous.
Acquired and Altered Adepts had the ability to quickly improve their strength. Compared to Innate Adepts, however, they lacked the theoretical possibility of limitless improvement.
The Clairvoyant continued. "If it were only the Adepts from the Pontiff's Citadel, then it would be easy to deal with.
But this time, it's likely that the Dark Citadel will be accompanying them.
The relationship between the two Citadels in the Western Alliance is strained. I don't know why, but they've come together. "
The Wine Master frowned. "I'm afraid this so-called exchange will involve Adepts sparring. We need to be prepared as soon as possible."
The Clairvoyant nodded. "The Dark Citadel and the Pontiff's Citadel will arrive on Skyfire in a month.
We don't have a list of who will be participating in this exchange.
Even so, we need to prepare for the exchange.
The reason I've asked you all to come here today is to confirm who will be the committee member in charge of this exchange.
From what I can see, we'll need at least three committee members to participate.
Of course, there will be other shop owners.
Which committee member is willing to participate in this mission? You can sign up now. "
The Wine Master nodded. "Judging by the presence of the two Western Alliance Citadels, it's not going to be easy. If that's the case, I'll be the one to lead the team." He was the vice-chairman of the Skyfire Avenue Committee.
The Clairvoyant nodded. "Who else is willing?"
"Count me in." Lan Jue raised her hand.
Whether or not this exchange from the Western Alliance had anything to do with the events of a week ago, Skyfire Avenue had tacitly approved of his actions. It was time for him to contribute, and he was duty-bound to do so.
The Clairvoyant smiled, and nodded to Lan Jue. "Very well, Jewelry Master."
"Count me in as well."
Another voice rang out. It was a slightly hoarse voice. Looking towards the source of the voice, the person who spoke was a young man sitting on the last seat to the right of the clairvoyant.
He looked slightly older than Lan Jue. His hair was neatly trimmed, and he wore a leather jacket. He was of medium build, and his eyes were small. He had a languid air about him.
"Oh, the sinister Little Clippers is about to make a move?" A woman seated a few seats away from the young man chuckled.
The young man's face stiffened. "My code name isn't Little Clippers!"
The woman giggled. "Doesn't the Barber use small clippers?
The Seamstress, for example, uses large clippers, and they don't say anything about it.
It's not good for all of us to be men. Count me in.
We'll have four committee members. It'll show how much we value them. "
The Clairvoyant nodded. "Very well. Then the committee members are decided. The Wine Master will lead the team. The Jewelry Master, the Barber, and the Beautician will all participate."

It's three in the morning.
There will be updates at seven and seventeen.
