Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Black List Conference
Standing in front of the villa’s iron gate were a man and a woman.
The man wore a slightly plain, pure white shirt, had short hair, with distinct features, and especially those bright, shining black eyes, which made him look energetic. anwhile, he exuded an air of scholarly charm, reminiscent of a student of the ancient classics!
The woman had her jet-black hair elegantly pinned up, wearing a floral qipao that outlined her graceful figure, appearing very dignified.
This man and woman were none other than Yuan Feng and Feng Ya, whom Ye Xunhuan had encountered in Beijing.
Originally, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya were hired by the Lin family as allies to confront Ye Xunhuan, but for so reason, neither of them acted against Ye Xunhuan. Yuan Feng even pledged to help Ye Xunhuan resolve issues with Shu Mountain, ensuring that they would not trouble him!
However, why had these two co now?
Although Ye Xunhuan did not know why Yuan Feng and Feng Ya had co, he still walked to the door and opened it.
“What brings you two here?”
Ye Xunhuan did not believe he was very familiar with Yuan Feng and Feng Ya, nor did he think they had co just to chat.
“Wouldn’t you invite us in for a cup of tea?” Yuan Feng said, smiling warmly at Ye Xunhuan.
At this mont, Yuan Feng appeared just as gentle as when Ye Xunhuan had t him in Beijing, giving off a feeling of kindness.
As the saying goes, a guest is always welco, so since Yuan Feng had said so, Ye Xunhuan could not shut them out. He said directly, “Please!”
Subsequently, under Ye Xunhuan’s guidance, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya walked into the villa.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan bringing Yuan Feng and Feng Ya inside, Madam Wang paused slightly and then gave Wang Zilin a look, signaling her to leave the living room.
Wang Zilin understood Madam Wang’s signal and imdiately left.
anwhile, Madam Wang went to make tea for Yuan Feng and Feng Ya.
Even though Madam Wang did not know Yuan Feng and Feng Ya, since Ye Xunhuan had brought them in, it was evident that Ye Xunhuan knew them.
So, Madam Wang sensibly went to make tea.
After entering the villa and sitting on the sofa, Ye Xunhuan asked, “What brings you to see ?”
Yuan Feng glanced around the villa before replying, “The villa’s nicely decorated. Your life seems quite comfortable!”
“It’s alright,” Ye Xunhuan said calmly.
“This villa must be worth a lot, right?”
“I wouldn’t know; it’s my wife’s!”
Although Ye Xunhuan was curious about why Yuan Feng and Feng Ya had co to Jiangzhong City, Yuan Feng did not elaborate, so Ye Xunhuan did not press further.
Just then, Madam Wang brought in the freshly brewed tea.
After serving the tea, Madam Wang left directly.
Once Madam Wang was gone, Yuan Feng asked again, “Where’s your wife? I haven’t seen her.”
“Are you here to do a household check?”
Yuan Feng chuckled awkwardly. “Household checks are for the police. I’m here for another reason!”
“Speak!”
“I’ve resolved the Shu Mountain issue for you; they won’t bother you for the ti being!” Yuan Feng began explaining the purpose of his visit.
“From what you’re saying, Shu Mountain might still trouble in the future?”
Yuan Feng laughed, “Not necessarily. As long as you agree to one thing, Shu Mountain will leave you alone, and all grudges will be written off!”
“Is that so?” Ye Xunhuan suddenly beca interested. “Tell , what is it?”
Ye Xunhuan would prefer not to form a deadly enmity with Shu Mountain, as dealing with them could be troubleso. This was apparent from the people they had sent ti and again.
Besides, who knows if there are people from Shu Mountain among the nation’s protectors.
The protectors are feared even by Olivia; Ye Xunhuan knew he wasn’t capable of standing against them!
“Represent Shu Mountain in a conference!” Yuan Feng said straightforwardly.
“Conference?” Ye Xunhuan frowned slightly.
“You don’t know?” Yuan Feng looked surprised and incredulously at Ye Xunhuan.
“What conference?”
“It seems you really don’t know!” Yuan Feng smiled bitterly. “I thought you knew, but it appears I need to explain it to you!”
“Then hurry and explain!”
“It’s like this: a hundred years ago, Eastern and Western powers made an agreent called the Blacklist Conference, which is held every eighteen years…”
“What is the Blacklist Conference for?”
“It’s essentially a competition between Eastern and Western forces, used to deplete each other’s strength. Even people from your underground world participate!” explained Yuan Feng.
“I don’t believe there are no benefits to this!” Ye Xunhuan said with a smirk.
Although Ye Xunhuan had just heard of the Blacklist Conference, if it was an event involving Eastern and Western powers, there were bound to be significant benefits to attract so many participants.
“There are benefits, but you have to win to gain them!” Yuan Feng explained again, “If Huaxia wins, you’ll beco one of the nation’s protectors…”
“Not interested!” Ye Xunhuan refused outright.
“Of course, there are other benefits…”
“What benefits?”
“That I don’t know, as the rewards vary each ti. What I do know is that the rewards are always worthwhile!”
“What were they before?”
“Depends on what you want!”
“I want to rule the world!”
Yuan Feng’s face imdiately darkened, “Why not say you want to conquer the universe!”
“Though I would like to, realistically, I can’t!” Ye Xunhuan replied with a sense of self-awareness.
“Ye Xunhuan, we can’t tell you exactly what the reward is this ti, but it’s sure to be extraordinary!” Feng Ya suddenly interjected.
“In that case, why ask to participate?”
“We didn’t initially think of sending you; you’re the underground world’s marshal, and typically, the top ten overlords aren’t allowed to participate, only their subordinates are!”
“Why?”
“The top ten overlords of the underground world are all extraordinary, making them hard to challenge. More importantly, anyone over twenty-eight is ineligible for the competition. Among the top ten overlords, aren’t you probably the only one under twenty-eight?”
“Frankly, I don’t know. I hardly know any of them.”
Ye Xunhuan was speaking truthfully; despite being one of the top ten overlords, he knew very few people.
“Initially, we planned to send Lin Zhetian, but he was severely injured by you and hasn’t fully recovered. Apart from Lin Zhetian, Shu Mountain has no one of his caliber in the sa age group, so we sought you out!”
“If you help us win this conference, Shu Mountain promises never to infringe upon you. If anyone from Shu Mountain offends you, you can contact anyti, and I’ll deal with them for you!” Feng Ya said firmly.
“You Shu Mountain folks are indeed calculating!”
A crisp voice filled with anger suddenly ca from the stairway entrance.
