Chapter 34 (1/2)

Lin Dong was originally not interested in what Zhao Yan had said. However, her performance was exceptionally different compared to the others.

Zhao Yan naturally noticed Lin Dong’s expression. However, she could not figure out the reason behind it.

According to the information that she had gathered, Lin Dong did not have any problems regardless of whether it was his identity or the people he knew. In other words, Lin Dong did not have a good identity nor did he have the connections to get to know important people. Where did his confidence come from?

She could not figure it out. However, her instincts as a woman told her that something was definitely happening that she was not aware of.

The atmosphere appeared a little gloomy.

Zhao Yan did not keep them in suspense. After waiting for a few of them to accept this situation, she opened her mouth and said, “Baron Darkmoon’s Ninth merchant group, Toya. I have a business relationship with him. He’ll be able to help me.”

Her words shocked Ding Ling and the others.

Baron Darkmoon’s Ninth merchant group did not sound impressive at all. After all, it was only ranked ninth.

However, those who truly understood it did not dare to neglect it.

For example, Ding Ling’s father was the chief security officer of the mining planet. He had some power, but there were a lot of mining planets under Baron Darkmoon. There were a lot of chief security officers working for him.

However, the merchant group with the words Baron Darkmoon on it was different. It was a merchant group that directly belonged to Baron Darkmoon. There were only 10 groups in total.

The person in charge of the merchant group could apply to meet Baron Darkmoon at a critical moment. He was the real controller of this area.

The merchant group did not have any power on the surface. They could only run their business and make profits.

However, if they could not handle it, they could meet Baron Darkmoon personally. If one worked in Baron Darkmoon’s territory, one had to give the person in charge of the merchant group some respect. Otherwise, they would just make up something and kill the one that disobeyed them.

Even though Toya was only the person in charge of the Ninth merchant group, he was still an important figure to Ding Ling and the rest.

Lin Dong also revealed a shocked expression, causing Zhao Yan to feel a little happy in her heart.

She had thought that Lin Dong did not care about anything. It turned out that there were times when he would feel shocked.

Of course, the reason why Lin Dong was shocked was entirely because Toya was one of the people who made it difficult for him.

In Lin Dong’s previous life, Toya had cheated him and even leaked information to Baron Darkmoon, causing the Baron Darkmoon to lead his forces and join in the search for the Thunder Flash.

The addition of a local force gave him a lot of pressure.

He did not expect to hear such news during the class gathering.

Zhao Yan explained, “3 years ago, I met Mr. Toya for the first time. After a few interactions and business dealings, we have established a certain friendship. Mr. Toya admires my personal qualities very much.”

“He recently issued an official invitation to me, suggesting that I join the Baron Darkmoon as a reserve talent. I can be recommended by the Baron Darkmoon to study in Baron Soro’s territory without those restrictions

“I’ve already been personally arranged by Mr. Toya. After 2 rounds of assessment, I’m qualified.”

As Zhao Yan spoke, she observed the crowd and found that they were all silent.

There was no jealousy or dissatisfaction, and their expressions were calm.

She was even more confident about what she was going to say next.

“As the reserve talent of Baron Darkmoon, I have the right to form my own team. I can’t say that Baron Darkmoon is going to treat us good, but there’s one thing. All the members of the team, including me, will not only receive preferential treatment in Baron Darkmoon’s territory, but also receive protection in territories with a good relationship
