Chapter 47: 47
In the end, Gua Nine helped shi+ Jin out of his predicaestured towards the sea: “Nine Eagles is here”
shi+ Jin immediately turned in the direction he indicated, nonchalantly curling his uprighthappened just now
In the distance, there indeed appeared a large shi+pIt flew a big golden banner with an eagle on both sides—ostentatious and easily recognizable
The other organizations also noticed Nine Eagles' arrival, and the quiet deck instantly becales arrive later and later every year”
“I've heard Annihilation can't restrain thements of conversations came from all over the deckshi+ Jin heard the-enhancele's shi+p, and a small wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows—they'd already affected Annihilation's effectiveness as the deterring force, which wasn't good
“Poseurs,” a woman suddenly said, full of disdainShe was about forty, her hair cut in a short bob, and gorgeously dressedHer voice, though not loud, drew many people's attention because of its distinct husky quality
Everyone looked in her direction
However, the wo the conference chair Zhuoyan, she took her subordinates and walked towards the large conference room connected to the deck
“She's Lu Shan, the boss of TarantulaShe's shrewd and ruthlessOn the surface, she and Jun-shao seem to be mortal enemies, but in fact, they're old friends,” Gua Nine whispered in shi+ Jin's ear
shi+ Jin hadn't expected thisHe took a closer look at Lu Shan, confirmed the position of Tarantula's shi+p, and internally reen dot for “friendly”
As they talked, Nine Eagles' shi+p passed through the outer ring of vessels, approaching closer and closerFinally, it squeezed between the s towards Annihilation's shi+p, and stopped next to itNow, Annihilation was caught between it and Phantoht
shi+ Jin frowned and glowered at Nine Eagles' shi+p—since the bar july obvious their purpose was anything but innocuous
Gua Nine didn't like it eitherHis expression turned serious, and a rare look of disgust appeared on his baby face: “It looks like Nine Eagles' boss is tired of living”
Anyone even superficially faly ordinary action was actually provocationSo, everyone looked at Lian Jun, who, in turn, watched the people co to see his reaction
Lian Jun glanced Nine Eagles' direction, but his expression reedHe unhurriedly took out his phone, checked the hour, then said to Zhang Zhuoyuan, “It's quarter to ten, we should get ready to begin theZhuoyuan looked away fro whether they should wait for Nine Eagles, whose shi+p hadn't joined the web of bridges yet, he looked up at Liu Zhenjun outside the bridge three decks higher and noddedLiu Zhenjun nodded back and signaled with his handThe soldiers instantly raised the deck fence, which had been lowered to let the people board, then surrounded theat fixed distances away from each other
The underworld bosses who still hadn't left the deck exchanged uessed the officials were dissatisfied with Nine Eagles' attitudeEven the less intelligent ones noticed Nine Eagles' cold shoulder treatment due to their late arrival
Their minds filled with speculations, the bosses moved into the conference roomTheir retinues stopped at the entrance, the bosses entering aloneThe one earlier and waited inside for the , the underworld bosses were all in the conference room, and their subordinates were outside
Lian Jun was no exceptionAt the door, he gestured for Gua One to stopHe glanced towards shi+ Jin and Gua Nine out of the corner of his eye and found that the teenager was not only not looking at hi this directionFor a second, his brows knitted in a frown, but he quickly regained his inscrutable expression and entered the conference roo Zhuoyuan
At 9:55, the door closed, and the sunblinds raised, exposing floor-to-ceiling ith a clear view into the conference room
Once the blinds rose, the subordinates, clearly used to it, looked inside to check the positions of their leaders, then moved to stand nearbyIt anizations look like a bunch of monkeys in a zoo
shi+ Jin: “……” This wasn't how he envisioned a secret
Gua Nine explained, “It's specially lassThe leaders inside aren't allowed to carry weapons, but their subordinates areThis way, even if a firefight happens, the people in the conference roo happens in the room, the people outside can rush in to helpThis is the coovernment and the underworld, and it's been this way for ain
The table in the conference roo Zhuoyuan sat at the head, with several assistants behind him, probably to help with the paperworkLian Jun sat first on his right, Lu Shan secondThe first seat on the left was eles' leader
Phantoave no real name, only a codena the top echelon, but his position wasn't good
TheZhuoyuan's assistants distributed docu utensils
The people outside couldn't hear anything insideshi+ Jin saw Lian Jun accept the stack of files and look through theles' shi+p
They were building a gangway to the governh they stopped close to it, Annihilation's shi+p wasn't going to offer help nor allow them to connect to it, so they had to detour around
Objectively speaking, Nine Eagles worked quickly, but they arrived too lateBy the ti was already ten minutes underway
Liu Zhenjun descended to the angway, only to be blocked by the deck fenceHe said, stone-faced, “Please returnOnce the fence is raised, it will stay that way until the , please arrive earlier”
Nine Eagles' leader was a youngHe raised his eyebrows and replied, “It's like this? Well, whateverTheas fuckHave fun then, I'll go backSee you later” He swaggered back to his shi+p, followed by his men
Liu Zhenjun watched thee
shi+ Jin hadn't expected the boss of Nine Eagles to be this kind of character and was stunned into silenceAfter a antly? Even towards the officials?”
“He's an idiot” Gua Nine's tone was full of disdain“Even if they caway to be ready, he would be on time'All face and no brains' describes him perfectlyHe actually displayed such a blatant lack of respect— too smoothly”
Despite his words, shi+ Jin felt Nine Eagles' leader's arrogance wasn't because of hi chip, assuring hiovernanizations, and so he feared nothing
“shi+ Jin” Gua Nine suddenly called his nahts and gave hiestured towards in a direction: “Thatyou, he seems to know you”
shi+ Jin turned his headUnsurprisingly, the person staring was Fei Yujing, whose existence he intended to ignoreHis eyebroandered upWithout hesitation, he turned away and faced the sea“That'sI want to pretend not to know him, cooperate with me”
The other man was taken abackAfter a moment of shocked silence, he faced the sea too and said, “I remember your second brother is a lawyerHow can he appear here?”
“I have no idea, he came with Phantom's boss”
Gua Nine nodded to show he understood then took out his phone and reported the situation to Gua One
So, when Lian Jun pretended to inadvertently look shi+ Jin's way during a er fascinated by the scenery and not paying any attention at all to the situation of his employer in the “lion's den”
“That's your new subordinate?” Lu Shan, sitting next to hih the docuht away casually as if he was just looking around and flipped through the pages“Don't ask what you shouldn't”
“Tch, the older you get, the less cute you are” Lu Shan frowned in dissatisfaction and pushed her chair further away, clearly unwilling to sit close to Lian Jun
Others looked over at the soundSeeing that it was Lu Shanattention—they were accustoanization, the ed to the oldestThe hatred accumulated between them over the years was probably deeper than the sea underneathYet, for soed their leaders to sit next to each other
Thewas just a headcount and a brief rundownIt ended punctually at 11:30The afternoon in at 2 pm
The subordinates collected their leaders at the entrance to the conference rooave the order to lower the deck fence, they left for their vessels
shi+ Jin watched the sea for 's stared at his back for more than one hourHe was exhaustedWhen Lian Jun carabbed the wheelchair handles before Gua One could“Jun-shao, was the ?” Asked Lian Jun in reply, his tone and expression bland
shi+ Jin straightforwardly nodded and rubbed his eyes“Yeah, it wasMy eyes are swollen because of the briny sea breeze”
Lian Jun's hands tightened on the wheelchair armrestsHe said, his tone even blander, “Thenelse in the afternoon”
“I'le-player , so that's my plan for the afternoon,” shi+ Jin announced happilyWilling to share his happiness, he suggested, “Jun-shao, you can also play ht a portable battery, do you want it?”
