#1530 - The scene at the dinner party
The aroma of barbecue wafted through the slowly opening door. In the magnificent hall, huge figures were crowded, and two extra-large, one-story-high dining tables were filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.
Giant plates of grilled steaks and bread were piled up like small hills, and silver wine glasses engraved with exquisite patterns were as big as a wine barrel.
In front of the extra-large long table on the left, there were powerful half-Titans, and in front of the extra-large long table on the right, there stood powerful stone giants, with the shining armor and colorful robes on their giant bodies sparkling.
Both of them were seen eating with relish, toasting each other, with wine stains and fat from the steaks flowing down the corners of their mouths, and they looked very happy.
"These guys are so mean, they started the banquet before we even arrived."
The veins on Loris' forehead were exposed and he clenched his fists.
"Not only that, they didn't even prepare a normal-sized dining table or meals. They did it on purpose!"
Xina's snake hair was floating in all directions, constantly spitting out scarlet snake tongues, and it was obvious that she was also in a state of extreme anger.
After hearing the words of the two leaders, the other strong men on our side all looked angry and annoyed, and although Old Gary did not speak, he also frowned.
At this point, it couldn't be more obvious: the other party doesn't take us seriously at all!
Among the crowd, only Lei Xiao remained calm and composed, without any fluctuation in expression. Lei Xiao had naturally anticipated this clumsy little trick.
"I'm sorry, my dear guests. It seems that we have been delayed for too long on the road, and the hosts of the banquet can't wait any longer."
Manager I smiled professionally and said, "Please don't take it to heart, my dear guests."
However, judging from his tone, which showed no surprise at all, this was obviously arranged in advance.
"If it's just to waste time, then where are the tables and tableware that are suitable for us? Aren't they eating them too?"
Lei Xiao glanced at the manager and said lightly.
"this……"
Although speechless for a moment, Manager I just laughed it off and did not take any substantial remedial measures.
"Mr. Manager, after all, the invitation letter was sent out in the name of the Shadow Market. Is this how you entertain guests? If this gets out, it will probably damage the reputation of the market brotherhood, right?"
Lei Xiao's expression remained calm as he continued, "Or, has the Mirage Market you manage become a puppet of the Demi-Titans and the Stone Giants? Whichever it is, I'm sure it would be difficult for you to explain this to the Market Brotherhood, right?"
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, Loris, Sina, Old Gary and the others reacted one after another despite being angry.
His Majesty the Human Race is using this incident to warn Administrator I to put himself in the right position and stop being an accomplice to the evil.
Otherwise, if we really come into conflict with the half-titans and stone giants, and Administrator I intervenes, our already slim chances of winning will be completely wiped out.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? These are just some minor oversights. It shouldn't be so serious, right?"
Manager I naturally knew the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
He first waved his hand in a pretentious manner, then put away his smile and said in a low voice: "Besides, please don't worry, Your Majesty. This is my territory. As for whether the news can be spread, it is naturally up to me to decide."
Hearing this, Loris, Sina and Old Gary all frowned even more.
The other party was right. Needless to say, the defense measures of the Shadow Market were extremely complete, and it also had a powerful interference barrier that blocked all communication with the outside world.
If the other party intends to completely break off relations with us, just as we expected, they can just make up a reason for us to take the initiative to attack, which is enough to get away with it and leave us speechless.
"It seems that the Administrator is very confident in his interference methods. I wonder if the Administrator can stop this thing?"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he turned his palm up, and a white crystal engraved with deep patterns emerged.
"Is this the magic stone that connects us to the Shadow Market?"
Looking at the round gem in Lei Xiao's hand, Manager I's voice showed a hint of surprise for the first time, and he asked in amazement: "How did you get this thing?"
"You don't have to worry about that, Your Excellency."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, his voice still calm.
This magic stone of communication is naturally a gift from our manager and is used for communication in emergencies.
Moreover, he had just confirmed not long ago that the Communication Magic Stone was distributed by the Market Brotherhood and had the highest authority, enough to render ineffective any means of interference in the Shadow Market.
As Lei Xiao thought so, he directly activated the communication magic stone, and the image of our manager was immediately projected in front of everyone.
Then, Lei Xiao showed us the surrounding environment and quickly explained the current situation to our managers.
"Your Majesty, I already know what happened. What I did is indeed regrettable and it is simply a disgrace to the Market Brotherhood."
Our manager fully cooperated with Lei Xiao and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already activated the panoramic mode. As long as Your Majesty carries the magic stone with you, it will be enough to observe any situation around Your Majesty. If I violate the rules of the Market Brotherhood, I will report to the Market Brotherhood immediately."
"N, watch your words and be clear about your position."
Manager I's voice became deeper and deeper, and he threatened our manager: "Do you think the Market Brotherhood will believe me, or you, a guy at the bottom? Don't ask for trouble."
"...You, you can just watch, I haven't done anything that violates the rules of the Market Brotherhood!"
Seeing four managers appear at the same time, I no longer had the confidence he had just now. Even if his ranking was higher, he could not withstand the concerted efforts of four managers. This was already a force that was enough to attract the attention of the Market Brotherhood.
After saying that, Manager I looked at Lei Xiao again, his eyes full of complicated meanings.
He never imagined that there would be four managers standing behind Lei Xiao at the same time, and even took out the extremely important communication magic stone!
After all, the human race led by Lei Xiao had just entered the Outer Realm not long ago, how could they possibly win the favor of four administrators at the same time? N, who was at the bottom, was easier to deal with, but K and L were both difficult to deal with.
With his heart agitated, the administrator's tone was obviously much more relaxed this time, and he quickly said to Lei Xiao: "Your Majesty, I am negligent. I will prepare a sumptuous meal for you immediately!"
Seeing this scene, Loris and others couldn't help but feel excited.
Although they have good relations with their respective managers, it is far from the point where the managers are willing to turn against other managers or even oppose them for them. However, His Majesty the Human Race has done this easily!
The most crucial thing is that with the supervision of four managers, even if the manager I in front of him favors the other side, he has to consider whether he can afford the consequences of doing so!
In other words, His Majesty the Human Race has helped us get rid of a huge trouble!
"No need."
Facing the remedy offered by Manager I, Lei Xiao simply waved his hand expressionlessly and walked straight into the magnificent banquet hall. (End of this chapter)
