"But wasn't it initially said that you would accompany us throughout?"
Leo Ray furrowed his brow slightly, and a trace of confusion surfaced on his face.
From the sudden special market just now, although he gained quite a lot, he always felt that the Bazaar Brotherhood's directives were ever-changing, as if they didn't really take this appreciation banquet seriously.
But no matter what, his goal this ti was clear; the banquet was rely a platform, so it didn't really matter.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, we also find it strange, but after all, it's an order from the Bazaar Brotherhood, and we cannot disobey it."
Our side's Administrator spoke frankly to Leo Ray, helplessly shrugging.
Afterwards, our side's Administrator nodded to Leo Ray and said, "But it won't be long before I co looking for Your Majesty."
"Understood, see you later."
Leo Ray greeted our side's Administrator, then proceeded to step into the Teleportation Array with the accompanying powerhouses.
As the radiance of gray light flickered, the group instantly vanished without a trace.
After Leo Ray and his group stepped into the Teleportation Array, other banquet-attending teams and independent powerhouses also stepped in, soon transporting away as well.
Not long after, the entire teleportation area quieted down, leaving only a group of administrators and Market Guards standing there.
"What on earth are those big figures in the Bazaar Brotherhood thinking? Not only did they add a special market at the last minute, they delayed the banquet ti, and didn't allow us to accompany them. My esteed guests are sowhat unhappy!"
One of the ranked administrators, filled with helplessness, spoke out to colleagues beside him: "This is an appreciation banquet, and I planned to deepen my ties with the guests during this event."
"How could we grasp the thinking of those big figures? We just need to follow orders."
Another Administrator nodded slightly, responding, "This is not sothing we should worry about."
Upon hearing this, other administrators started discussing.
"That's right, what we can think of, the Elders naturally can too."
Administrator A stepped forward, nodded in agreent, saying, "Alright, according to the Elders' instructions, we shall proceed to the conference hall and wait for the next steps, those guards of the direct market will surely manage to entertain the guests temporarily."
Administrator A said this, and all administrators nodded in affirmation, then collectively moved towards the direction of the conference hall.
But at this mont, the Market Guard Captain responsible for monitoring the Teleportation Array seed to have noticed sothing, urgently reported to Administrator A, "Sir, the Brotherhood's direct market is forcefully severing all teleportation connections here!"
"What? That could cause the arrays to overload, how shall we go there later?"
Administrator A was taken aback, blurting out, "Did the other side make a mistake?"
But before Administrator A's words ended, all the originally glowing arrays extinguished, instantly dimming the surroundings.
"What's happening?"
For a mont, all administrators looked at each other, clearly unaware of what was transpiring.
One must know, the direct market of the Brotherhood is filled with strong figures, and should not make such rudintary errors unless intentional, but how could that be possible?
Before the administrators could figure out what happened, another Market Captain rushed over, reporting to Administrator A, "Sir, the Brotherhood's direct market that was stationed nearby suddenly disappeared, severing all communication channels, it's unknown where they teleported to!"
"What? How could this be?"
This ti, even Administrator A, who was initially calm, couldn't remain composed, urgently ordering the Market Guard Captain, "By any ans necessary, locate the position of the direct market quickly!"
Watching the Market Guard Captain hastily depart, the administrators looked at each other again.
Such unexpected situations, coupled with delayed banquet matters, even the slowest-reacting administrators instantly understood that the direct market must have encountered so major upheaval, otherwise, they wouldn't act so incomprehensibly; perhaps even seized!
What's crucial is, the esteed guests attending the banquet have already been transported there, the other side's actions seemingly aid against them!
If any harm befalls the guests, how could they explain to their respective factions? The Shadow Market's reputation built over three thousand years would definitely plumt!
As they pondered this, the administrators' minds filled with unrest, and doubt surged uncontrollably.
Honestly, among the guests this ti, although many first-class forces didn't send heavyweight figures, it still gathered dozens of Demigods, which isn't a strength that can be easily shaken.
Moreover, the direct market of the Elders Council is heavily guarded, solid as a rock, how could it change hands silently?
But if the direct market hasn't changed hands, how should this be explained?!
The more the administrators thought, the more anxious they beca, causing the scenario to grow increasingly chaotic.
What is happening within the Brotherhood's direct market now?!
...
Accompanied by a familiar sensation flashing by, when Leo Ray's vision cleared again, he found himself in a small square that was in stark contrast to the grand square before.
However, the surrounding architectural ensemble was magnificent, exuding a sacred and ancient vibe, clearly within a Shadow Market.
Within sight, a small fountain at the square's center was trickling, besides which several teams of banquet attendees awaited nearby.
Vaguely, Leo Ray detected a simring tension quietly spreading.
"Well well, it's them."
Upon seeing those few teams of powerhouses, Leo Ray couldn't help but smile wryly.
On the fountain's left were the Light Elf powerhouses encountered not long ago, and on the right were the Dark Elf powerhouses led by Zhen.
Both sides maintained a posture of confrontation, the very source of tension.
As for the other powerhouses nearby, Leo Ray was also familiar; they were leaders of affiliated clans including Lila and Hollis, as well as dozens of independent powerhouses arriving via adjacent teleportation arrays.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Leo Ray's figure, our people gathered around him.
"Are you the only ones here? Where are the others?"
Leo Ray gathered his sight, inquired of Hollis.
"Lord, others weren't transported here."
Hollis placed his hand on his chest in salute, answering, "Previously Glen and his companions were ahead of , within monts, they seed to be transported elsewhere."
"I see, it seems they were deliberately separating the guests and even adjusting the array's destination."
Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, contemplating.
"Lord, why would the hosts do this?"
Lila's fair face revealed confusion, she asked Leo Ray, "Shouldn't we be directly transported to the banquet venue? But this clearly isn't the banquet location."
"This indeed confuses, perhaps they have so special arrangent."
Leo Ray pondered briefly and then instructed, "Regardless, caution is always warranted, inform everyone to stay by my side, if the independent powerhouses wish, have them join us."
"As you command, Lord."
Lila bowed to Leo Ray and promptly took action.
Not long after, including those independent powerhouses, excluding the confronting sides, everyone gathered around Leo Ray.
But at this mont, sothing unexpected occurred.
