After losing so many times at the hands of Battle Wolf, Marcos had learned a hard lesson: appearances could be very deceiving.
”Hehe…I apologize for the noise. Where was I? Ah... Only with unity will we be able to win the war against the Zergs. Unlike our enemy, we are intelligent creatures, and intelligent creatures follow the rules and work together. If we can't even co-exist in a small city, maybe we deserved the Zerg's invasion. ” Wang Tong with the same warm smile on his face.
The people who that had been shouting at Wang Tong lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him in the eyes. Wang Tong scanned the crowd with his soul energy, and all that he could sense was fear.
Marcos remained calm, and a smug curve even found the corner of his lips. He knew all the while that Wang Tong was the least reasonable person.
Guan Dongyang and Yin Tianzong's display of strength had completely silenced all voices of dissidence. They no longer regarded Wang Tong and Yin Tianzong as reckless teenagers, but as overbearing and terrifying warriors. The leaders of other factions also started realizing the reason behind the quietness of Thunder Fire and Blizzard: fear.
The barking dog wouldn't bite, and the same went the other way around. Knowing that Wang Tong would not hesitate to kill, everyone felt that their good days were numbered. No one was certain how strong Battle Wolf had become, and who was behind their sudden rise to power.
After finishing scanning the hall, Wang Tong knew the time for him to exert Battle Wolf's dominance had come. Fear might be able to keep the leaders in check for a while, but without a real display of might, they would never learn their lessons. It had been a while since the Maersa district was united under a strong leader, and Wang Tong was determined to remind them that humans had to unite together under one banner in order to defeat the Zergs. As Wang Tong was going to speak more about the meeting, Divine Master Sect's Chief Medic, Xiao Yuyu, arrived at the stage.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Xiao Yuyu, thinking that Wang Tong would not kill any more people in front of the representative of the Sect.
However, the fact that even the chief medic from the Sect had joined Battle Wolf spoke loudly about the real power of the band. It was evident that, despite the sky-net, not all the factions had gone through the memo. The factions who had learned about the recent development inside Battle Wolf had kept their lips sealed: it was not wise to gossip about things that one didn't understand fully yet.
Xiao Yuyu had received the young master's order to not meddle in Battle Wolf's business, but remain where she was and observe. Not only did she not expect that order, but she was also very confused by it. She had thought that Michaux would be intrigued by the re-emergence of Wang Tong. If he were not, why would he order her to remain in Battle Wolf and be his eyes? The revelation of Wang Tong's real identity had pulled the rug from under her. Even now, she still found it difficult to make the connection between the greedy businessman at the auction house and the teenage warrior that had defeated Patroclus.
Having learned Wang Tong's real identity, everyone regarded him with a newfound reverence and respect.
Getting over with the greetings, Xiao Yuyu gave the most generic speech to the audiences with perfunctory praises and appreciation for the hard work of everyone involved. After that, she spoke on behalf of the young master and acknowledged the leader status of Battle Wolf in Maersa District.
Although it was just a verbal approval, the words of the young master carried a long way on Mars. Going against the young master's will was an act of apostle, which no other factions would tolerate.
In addition to the seal of approval from the Sect, Wang Tong had made it clear that anyone who dared to oppose him would not end very well; the Cherry Blossom was an example.
Right after Xiao Yuyu's announcement, Wang Tong declared the merging of Battle Wolf with the Fire Squad. Together, they would rule the Maersa City, and they welcomed all other factions to join them. However, they would have to follow the rules like everyone else.
Wang Tong didn't try to impress anyone with his might, but his modesty added more mysteriousness to his power. After the meeting was over, everyone was convinced that he was the young warrior that had defeated the Patroclus in the tournament, the heir of the Blade Warrior. However, being the heir of the blade warrior meant nothing on Mars if Wang Tong was a useless weakling. By then, the power of the warriors serving under him had provided more than enough insight to the other leaders about his ability. Although no one was certain of Wang Tong's exact power, they knew that he was not simply a no account. The ambiguity in his power gave birth to the imagination in the other leaders' minds. The less they knew about Wang Tong, the wilder the imagination became. However, only those who really understood him knew that even the wildest imaginations had caught merely the tip of an iceberg.
Wang Tong's levelheadedness and assertiveness, together with the help from the Divine Mastery Sect, had helped Wang Tong exert dominance in the City of Maersa. Needless to say, the joining of the Fire Squad was of great help to Wang Tong. Without enough competent warriors, it would be impossible to manage such a large city. Ever since they first met, Wang Tong knew that Bu Zhihuo was different from the other greedy b*stards. Instead of fame, money, and power, Bu Zhihuo only cared about the wellbeing of the people on Mars.
