"Ti’s up, let’s move!"
Diana had been busy with official duties all day, having to engage in strategic negotiations with leaders of several major organizations and manage the mobilization of organization mbers. After the corps announcent was made, she also had to screen the first batch of players to join the corps.
By the ti everything was arranged, she hadn’t even caught her breath before it was ti for the scheduled eting to distribute the channel jump props and give orders. Her prepared subordinates began teleporting.
In the temporary group chat, Jes expressed so concerns, asking, "Shouldn’t we sign an agreent?"
He was worried soone might betray them last minute, ruining this Alliance action.
"Yeah, for such an important plan, we should sign an agreent," Tanaka Junichiro chid in supportively.
Although there were tensions with the White-headed Eagle side, Tanaka Junichiro could still distinguish between priorities.
The dozens of subordinates weren’t important; what mattered was not sabotaging the plan and failing to acquire the potion from Li Zheng.
Today, he noticed that none of the corps on the world channel had sothing similar to the potion or Concentrated Enhancent Liquid that could enhance the player’s physique.
This indicated that at the current ti, only they and Li Zheng had mastered the relevant technology across the Matrix.
If they could monopolize the potion market, the High Celestial Plain would undoubtedly beco one of the strongest corps in the future, unrivaled among competitors!
However, soone raised a dissenting opinion in the group, and Rebecca voiced her dissatisfaction: "What?? Sign an agreent? Why didn’t you ntion this earlier? I’ve already set out with my team, and the first to arrive might have already started fighting. Now you’re telling to sign an agreent?"
The system terminal can notarize the agreent content, making the agreent effective.
But the agreent contents must be reviewed and confird without objections by all signatories.
Drafting an agreent that satisfies everyone without loopholes would take at least two or three hours of negotiation among the most experienced negotiators from the five factions.
Now Rebecca and Diana’s teams have already set out, do they have ti to negotiate for another two hours?
By the ti the negotiations are finished, those who went ahead might have already been wiped out by Li Zheng, right?
Especially with Rebecca personally leading the charge, it’s impossible to stop and negotiate terms at this critical juncture.
"I wanted to propose the agreent yesterday, but Diana disbanded the group chat too quickly, and I didn’t have the chance!" Jes quickly sent a ssage.
Diana frowned. It’s true she created yesterday’s temporary group chat, but it had existed long enough for you to voice your concerns anyti. Why are you pushing this onto now?
Are you trying to make a scapegoat?
"Cut the crap! I’ve already arrived at the scene with only and the Knight Order. Are you coming or not? If not, leave the group now; I’ll retreat imdiately and co after you at dawn!" Rebecca angrily posted in the chat. She had already t with the ten Knight Commanders teleported by the Knight Order.
Though they hadn’t exchanged a word, each occupied a position without making much noise, hoping Li Zheng wouldn’t notice.
But who could guarantee that?
Li Zheng, recognized as the strongest in combat across the Matrix, might have so odd tricks up his sleeve, who knows?
Every second they lingered here, they exposed themselves to risk.
The Mao Country people were known for their quick tempers, often engaging in street brawls over small disputes, a common occurrence.
The threats Rebecca posted in the group chat couldn’t be ignored by those who hadn’t dispatched troops yet.
Jes felt worried; he was an ordinary researcher who used chip technology backdoors to seize high rank among the White-headed Eagle within the Matrix, lacking the political wisdom and maturity of a politician.
Panic-stricken, he issued orders to deploy sixty Chip Warriors, all the while hoping that tonight’s action wouldn’t go awry.
Soon, he announced in the group that he, too, had deployed troops.
Right after, Tanaka Junichiro and Joshua made similar announcents.
Rebecca closed the group chat page and saw dense space fluctuations not far away, nodding in satisfaction.
"Wise choice!"
Knowledge of the risks she took for this operation was not lost on her.
After all, everyone else was conducting remotely with subordinates executing the plan; she was the only one leading from the front.
The Throne of the Gods’ over two hundred individuals teleported in, mixed with Death Warriors from the White-headed Eagle and High Celestial Plain, forming disorganized columns. However, due to prior notice, they made no sound, quietly scattering and unconsciously establishing formations to encircle Li Zheng’s capsule dwelling.
Once the formation was in place, the hundreds ford a black sea, and the dim prairie seed to feel the oppressive atmosphere, causing even the gentle breeze to halt.
The air of slaughter spread wide.
At that mont, the door of the capsule dwelling opened a crack, and Li Zheng appeared at the entrance, calmly observing the surroundings, expression serene and unmoved.
"Are you all lost, or just here for a al?"
Li Zheng’s voice was steady yet chilly, as if the people opposite him were rely harmless insects.
Behind Li Zheng, Liu Qi and his aide peeked out, seemingly amused, with a glass of wine each in hand. The other hand grasped a plate, indulging in their al without pause.
Their appearance, devoid of any decorum, was a disgrace to Kunlun’s leadership.
But there was no help for it; the food Li Zheng provided was too delicious to stop eating.
"Liu Qi?"
Seeing the man behind Li Zheng, Rebecca sneered, "No wonder you remain calm despite being surrounded by so many. So you’ve already allied with Kunlun, feeling confident, are you?"
"However, if that’s truly what you think, you’re gravely mistaken!"
"To us among the five major corps, Kunlun is nothing."
"Wise up and surrender, hand over what we want, and co with !"
"Otherwise, don’t bla us for being ruthless!"
Her words were direct and unyielding, placing Kunlun squarely on the opposite side without any courtesy.
Liu Qi was dumbfounded; he was rely there as a spectator, so how did he end up involved?
Drinking and eating.
Damn it, if getting involved ans more good food, let it be. Li’s cooking is just too damn good; if he dies, I won’t get to enjoy it anymore.
"Old Li, where’s the backup you arranged? Aren’t they here yet? Did sothing go wrong?" Liu Qi quietly asked.
He had a contingency plan; if Li Zheng couldn’t summon enough reinforcents, he had eight hundred strong warriors ready to rush to the scene.
"Heh, don’t worry,"
Li Zheng, full of confidence, chuckled, "They’re just paper tigers; let’s have so fun first."
"Watch this!"
He then threw an object and swiftly shut the residence door.
It was an object resembling a high-explosive grenade, with a small indicator light glowing red on its surface.
Seeing it, Rebecca shouted in terror, "Get down!"
And then hit the ground herself.
The next second, blinding light burst forth, blurring everyone’s vision.
"What did you throw out there? And why did you close the door? How can we watch the show this way?" Liu Qi was exceedingly curious.
Li Zheng smirked, "Let the flash bomb do its work for a bit."
Just as he finished speaking, the interior of the residence was suddenly filled with many figures.
