Chapter 715 Confrontation
After Meng Biao's roar, hundreds of people immediately rushed into the manor. They were all wearing black suits and hurriedly walked out, surrounding the entire banquet.
"If there's any disagreement or conflict, let's settle it right now. I don't want to drag it out!"
Meng Biao pointed at Wang Meng and angrily declared.
He had lost his patience and only wanted to solve the problem now.
The rest of the people didn't say anything. Those who were sitting in their seats were still expressionless.
They did not intend to stop Meng Biao, nor did they intend to obey Wang Meng.
It was a classic case of wanting something but not putting in any effort.
Swoosh!
Behind Wang Meng, many of his men rushed out from the other two villas. They all gathered behind Wang Meng and glared at Meng Biao and the others with ferocious expressions.
Both sides had their men and were confronting each other, and the once-empty front yard of the manor became crowded.
"Hey... what are you two doing? Are you two really going to fight?"
An old man couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and offered advice with a worried expression.
"It wasn't easy for Star Ocean City to eliminate those invaders. Now that we haven't even settled down, we've started internal strife. How can this be good for us? How can Star Ocean City grow in the future?"
He tried to persuade the two, but it was useless.
The atmosphere between the two sides was still as tense as ever, if not worse.
"It seems like you are determined to see this through to the very end. The Fierce Dragon Gang has fought our way here, so don't even think that you have the ability to challenge us!" Wang Meng was furious.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, Lu Yu walked out of the villa and toward the banquet.
Lu Yu strolled to the stage and stood beside Wang Meng.
Lu Yu's sudden appearance silenced the entire scene.
Although Lu Yu was a stranger to them, the Water Spirit Dragon's proud, majestic appearance had already been deeply engraved in everyone's minds.
They did not dare provoke Lu Yu, let alone fight an ancient dragon!
"Everyone, calm down. Stop arguing."
Lu Yu raised his hands and gestured downward, signaling everyone to quiet down.
However, Meng Biao completely ignored Lu Yu.
"Who do you think you are? If you think you're some hotshot, why don't you go head-on against the Star Science Chamber of Commerce and see who's stronger?"
He shouted and wasn't afraid of Lu Yu.
His self-assurance stemmed from the people behind him, who represented the entire Star Ocean City. Star Ocean City would fall into disarray if they died here, and the entire city would become chaotic and disorderly.
Lu Yu looked at him and asked unhappily, "Don't you have any manners? I'm talking here, and you're interrupting?"
Meng Biao pointed at Lu Yu and yelled, "What's wrong with interrupting you? This is our territory, and you're just an outsider. What right do you have to say anything? I know you have a giant dragon, so let it out and kill all of us if you dare!"
Swoosh!
As soon as these words came out, everyone else turned their gazes to Meng Biao.
How dare he place all their lives in danger just because he wanted to act cool? It instantly aroused everyone's anger.
"Oi, Meng, can you speak properly?"
"Kill us all? Are you crazy? If you want to die, go die yourself. Don't drag us down with you!"
"Shut up. You'd think the merchants in Star Ocean City are all idiots if we didn't know better!"
When Meng Biao saw this, he was triggered. He pointed at them and scolded, "You bunch of ingrates. I stepped forward for your benefit, and now you're chastising me? You don't know what's good for you!"
At this moment, a cold aura suddenly manifested, drastically dropping the entire banquet's temperature.
Everyone sitting in the seats could not help but shiver.
Meng Biao suddenly felt a trace of coldness rises from his back. He stood on the spot, trembling with fear and not daring even to make another single move.
He looked at Lu Yu onstage and saw the woman behind him.
The woman in the black robe had a graceful figure and a cold, charming appearance.
Her beautiful appearance averted the gazes of everyone.
Meng Biao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He knew where this cold aura came from, and he was terrified.
"You... are you really going to kill me here? If you dare touch me, it will be equivalent to escalating the conflict between us. You'd better think twice!"
Meng Biao changed his irritable temper and started to reason instead.
Suddenly, a cold air mass condensed on Meng Biao's body.
It was at that moment that everyone knew that Meng Biao was dead.
They had all witnessed Han Xuefei's strength. When Lu Yu defeated the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce's combat team, the ice elemental power that froze the flood exceeded their wildest imagination.
The rest of the audience did not act rashly when such a strong elementalist was present.
Right at this moment, Meng Biao felt the temperature in his body rapidly drop, and this caused him to panic immediately.
Then, he realized that Han Xuefei wasn't just an elementalist but also an esper.
Her telekinesis was converted into the ice element, which held him in place while freezing him.
"You dare!"
Meng Biao had not finished speaking when he was frozen into an ice sculpture the next moment.
Just like that, Meng Biao was frozen solid.
Everyone panicked as they looked at Meng Biao's corpse; they all started to get nervous.
At this moment, Wang Meng stood beside Lu Yu with a smile. "Brother, thank you're here to help me out. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome today."
Lu Yu glanced at Wang Meng and asked. "You can't even handle such a small matter, and you can smile?"
Wang Meng lowered his head in shame. "I'm still inexperienced. I'll work hard in the future."
"Everyone, listen up. I'm here to show you the reality of the situation. We are your saviors! If we weren't here, you would've become prisoners of the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce!"
"Therefore, I invited you here today not to discuss how to deal with the Xu Group's remains but to inform you that the Xu Group has a new owner!"
Everyone was silent, and the few people who stood up with Meng Biao sat back down.
"Who has any objections?" Lu Yu swept his gaze across the crowd.
Everyone was frowning, but no one dared to say or refute anything.
They were still reluctant to part with this great opportunity but feared Lu Yu's strength. For a brief moment, the situation was deadlocked.
Lu Yu's expression was a little gloomy.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud noises came from behind Lu Yu.
The frightened crowd quickly looked up and saw a pair of huge eyes staring at them from the darkness.
Its long vertical pupils seemed to be beckoning at them from hell.
