Chapter 597: Trouble Finally Arrives! (1/2)
Starnet was bound to become the eye of the storm, but thanks to Bai Xiaofei’s measures, the Globe Merchant Group was forcibly tied to the ship as well and had to bear the wrath of this storm together with Starnet.
However, what puzzled everyone was that the Globe Merchant Group chose to keep silent when faced with this heavy impact. The release of the news against them to the spreading of it was more than enough to shake their foundations, yet, the only reaction from the Globe Merchant Group was to shut their doors!
All of their branches around the continent closed, and all the staff collectively disappeared into thin air overnight. The headquarters of the Globe Merchant Group in the Violethorn Empire was completely sealed and no one responded to any attempts at communication.
This chain of reactions made everyone even more convinced that there was something off about the Globe Merchant Group, but believe it or not, no one wanted to be the first to take any real action against them. Everyone knew what they were capable of. Even if things went south, they could still drag several opponents down with them.
Therefore, because of this apprehension, everyone set the turtled Globe Merchant Group aside and turned their gaze to Starnet!
In an instant, the people of the major organizations started to flock towards Starnet again. All they wanted was a statement that could convince them. But simple as it sounded, it was impossible for so many forces to be calmed with a mere statement. Therefore, Lei Shan immediately convened all personnel, then heeded Bai Xiaofei’s suggestion and formed a temporary negotiation team!
All teachers and students who had a connection to any large organizations were members of this team, while the rest started preparing for the reception work under Fang Ye’s lead…
“Dear honored guests from afar, no matter what purpose you have come with, Starnet welcomes you. At the same time, however, we hope that you will show corresponding respect. This is Starnet Academy, not a noisy market!”
Standing on the makeshift platform, Fang Ye yelled at the chaotic crowd outside. The megaphone helped him successfully talk over the noise, but failed to help him convince everyone.
“You think you’re still the old Starnet?! If you don’t explain what happened to our seniors and elders today, your Starnet is history!”
“That’s right! Let us in!”
“This lord wants to see Lei Shan!”
“…”
They still had some fear for the Starnet name.
But even if that was the case, it was only a matter of time before the wall of students would be broken through. Standing on a high platform, Fang Ye was so irritated that his teeth itched.
If it weren’t for his inadequate strength, he would have fired his gun already, and then shouted at top of his lungs to fight it out with those who refused to listen. Unfortunately, there were many people below that he couldn’t beat…
Just as Fang Ye was thinking this, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared. At the same time, a blinding firelight replaced the sun. Looking over, everyone saw two huge floating fireballs, under which stood two beautiful figures raising a hand and feign-lifting the fireballs. Step by step, they walked toward the academy entrance.
“Flame Demon!”
“Apocalypse!”
Hu Xian’er’s and Yan Suzi’s crystal clear voices rang out. They waved their hands, and the two huge fireballs flew straight towards the crowd below.
