Chapter 723 - World Congress - Part 3 (1/2)
”Where are the others?” After a while, Kang Xue started to question the validity behind this World Congress. She felt like she was invited into a scam meeting or something because after two minutes passed, they were still the only faction that arrived.
”They still have another eight minutes until the portal gate closes. They might be skeptical about the Portal Gate and afraid of entering the Portal Gate without precaution. After all, not everyone has experienced the Survival Game.” Kang Jiayi responded to her daughter. ”We are too nervous because Lord Tang Shaoyang is not around, so we arrive too early.”
No one refuted Kang Jiayi as it was the truth. Everyone was nervous about appearing on this big stage without their leader. After all, Tang Shaoyang was akin to an umbrella that protected them from any kind of danger.
Another minute passed, and the second faction arrived. The second faction was another VIP like them and located across from their seat, on another side of the platform. The Tang Empire arrived with just nine people, but the second faction came with a full party of thirty people.
Zhang Mengyao's eyes locked on the name plaque. The name plaque appeared at the same time as the people of the second faction appeared. ”First Order Guild” was the second faction's name. After the name, she scanned the thirty people. She was sure that the second faction was not from Asia; they were white, at least the majority were white.
'Europe? American? Or Australia?' Zhang Mengyao tried to think about their background, and
suddenly she realized that at least ten people were laughing while pointing their fingers at them. She followed to where they were pointing at, and their fingers were directed toward her faction's plaque name.
Zhang Mengyao's eyes turned sharp, glaring at the opposite party, especially the younger ones, who were laughing at them. Not just her, the others seemed to realize they laughed at the name of their empire. Lu An was the first to draw his sword, but a bright red warning alert appeared in the middle of the platform.
[Warning! Violence is not allowed during the World Congress. The Violator will be forcefully teleported out from the venue!]
Above the platform, a big screen formed, warning the Tang Empire. Kang Jiayi was the first one to react and pushed the sword back into the sheath. ”Calm down, Lu An. You don't want us to miss the World Congress, right? We can't miss this, or we will be at a loss to what the System wants to announce to us. We can't disappoint Lord Tang Shaoyang.”
Lu An calmed down after Kang Jiayi mentioned the last part. He calmed down and put the sword back into his inventory. ”Just remember their faces. If we can't do anything to them in this venue, we can do something outside to them.” The old man added.
If it were three months ago, they would be embarrassed with The Tang Empire. As the people from modern society, the empire was like an ancient thing that existed in history. Bringing it back to the modern era was cringe for sure. But it was different now, The Tang Empire had become a new home to them, a new country they built with their sweat and blood. So when the others laughed at the Tang Empire, it was an insult to their home, not something they could tolerate.
Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi, Li Na, and Lu An's aura ran wild in the venue. While the barrier separated them physically, the intense killing intent was still transmitted toward the opposite party.
The older guys from the First Order realized that the younger ones had offended the Tang Empire. They pulled back the younger one and apologized by bowing toward the Tang Empire's direction. They could feel the strong killing intent, and they did not want to mess up with this kind of group for sure.
The older guy scolded the people who laughed and put them on the back to avoid further conflict. Lu An returned to his seat and clicked his tongue, annoyed that he could not do anything to those people. The barrier separated the group and hindered them from speaking to the other factions.
Zhang Mengyao was sure that the old man was scolding their younger member, but she could not hear anything. She leaned back on her chair, but her eyes never left the First Order Guild. The nervousness was replaced with anger directed toward the First Order Guild.
