Chapter 726 - World Congress - Part 6 (1/2)
A group of five was standing next to the Tang Empire's booth, and Zhang Mengyao recognized the group. They were her fellow country, or to be more exact, her ex-fellow country. She did not see any country name from the VIP factions, meaning no government survived through the Game.
The five men looked above the forties, and from the way they were standing, they seemed to be from the military. Zhang Mengyao herself was from the military as well, but she did not recognize any of these five. She was from Nan Jing's base, and they might be from the other cities' bases.
She glanced at Kang Jiayi for confirmation and found out that Kang Jiayi was surprised to see the group. It was clear that he recognized the group. Kang Jiayi was a retired General, and if the old man recognized the group, meaning these people were high-ranking officials.
Zhang Mengyao did not know what to do. It was not like the opposite party coming with an ill intention. There was no reason for her to refuse a group that came with goodwill. Wei Xi read the situation and spoke up. ”Let them come in and listen to what they want to say.” The others agreed with Wei Xi as well by nodding.
Zhang Mengyao opened the screen and turned off the barrier. She smiled and invited the group into their booth, ”Please come in.” At the same time, she glanced at Kang Jiayi. She was trying to signal the old man to send her a message about the group's identity. However, Kang Jiayi did not pick up the signal as he stared at the incoming group.
”It's been a long time, General Kang.” The man in his late forties greeted Kang Jiayi with a gentle smile on his face. Kang Jiayi returned the greeting with an amiable smile. ”It should be former General. You are the new General, General Wang.”
Kang Jiayi and General Wang hugged while exchanging small talk in a small voice. ”It's been a long time, Sir. I did not expect to see you here.” General Wang seemed to be close with Kang Jiayi based on their conversation.
Kang Jiayi released the hug and made a restrained smile. He realized why General Wang was coming over, and he believed this would have a bad end. ”Haha, same for me.” He replied with a short response.
”Then, are you part of the Tang Empire, Sir? If you are from the Tang Empire, this will be easy to talk with.” General Wang completely disregarded everyone and solely talked with Kang Jiayi. While Yu Shun and Lu An did not care about it, the others were displeased.
”I don't think I can be any help for you, General Wang. While I am part of the Tang Empire, my authority is not that significant to make a decision for the faction. If you want to discuss something with the Tang Empire, you should talk with her.” Kang Jiayi shook his head and directed General Wang to Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi. ”She is the Supreme General of the Tang Empire, and he is Vice-Supreme General.”
The words Supreme General entered his ear, General Wang furrowed his brow. General was supposed to be the highest-ranking in the military, yet this Tang Empire made a new ranking above General. He felt like being degraded.
