During their free time, Xie Wei and Zhao Yujin wandered around without saying they wanted to talk to anyone. Instead, people would come up to congratulate them from time to time.
Zhao Yujin was pleased to hear this and did not refuse the blessings.
Ye Yan had long since disappeared, apparently to take care of his own business.
Seeing Zhao Yujin's state, Xie Wei couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Sister Jue, please tone it down a bit."
Just as Zhao Yujin was about to say something, she saw a servant walking towards them.
Calling them servants wouldn't be accurate; they were muscular men dressed in servant's attire.
"Gentlemen, our boss would like to invite you upstairs for a chat."
It's finally here.
"Hmm," Xie Wei nodded, glancing at Zhao Yujin as the two exchanged a knowing look.
Then Xie Wei spoke up, saying, "Lead the way."
The muscular man led them to a private room on the second floor.
Upon entering, Xie Wei saw that Wu Yue and Lu Changqing were already sitting in the room, along with three other people.
The group sat around a round table.
Sitting next to Lu Changqing was a man with strikingly dark skin, a bald head, and a well-proportioned physique. One of his arms was completely wrapped in bandages.
To Lu Changqing's left was Wu Yue, and to Wu Yue's left was Michael Brun, whom Xie Wei had just seen.
His eyes had been fixed on Xie Wei ever since Xie Wei appeared.
The remaining person, however, was savoring the wine in his hand, not paying attention to Xie Wei and the other person.
He wore a long, heavy black robe, his hair was neatly combed and fell to his shoulders, and his face had distinct features and strong lines.
The most striking feature is that one of his eyes is a mechanical eye, which looks somewhat strange.
It seems to be another cyborg from the Eagle Kingdom; his long robe is to cover up the parts of him that have been modified.
No wonder I didn't see these "important" figures at the banquet; turns out they came here.
Upon seeing Xie Wei and Zhao Yujin appear in the private room, Lu Changqing stood up with a smile to greet them.
"Thank you, Young Master Xie and Miss Rose. I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly."
Zhao Yujin simply nodded without saying anything.
Black Rose's cold and aloof demeanor was already well-known, and with constant friction between the major gangs, the fact that she even came was already a great honor. Lu Changqing couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Xie Wei.
"I didn't expect Young Master Xie to give me face and attend Changhe's coming-of-age ceremony." Lu Changqing's ingratiating smile pushed the flesh on his face to the sides, making his mole look somewhat nauseating.
Xie Wei replied, "You're too kind. I just came along because Qiangwei found it interesting."
His flat tone and expressionless face made it impossible for Lu Changqing to figure out his emotions, so he didn't know what to say.
Both of them had sent people to test Xie Wei, but they didn't know that he had also made some underhanded moves, so they didn't know if Xie Wei had suspected them.
"I didn't expect Young Master Xie to be such a sentimental person. Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman," Wu Yue said meaningfully.
He initially planned to have Xie Wei and Black Rose fight each other, but they ended up getting married.
Seeing that Wu Yue had spoken, Lu Changqing took the opportunity to introduce the identities of the people present.
The black man's name was Hilton, a boxer from the country of Shata, and a friend of Lu Changqing.
The man didn't say a word, but simply made a Saudi Arabian gesture towards Xie Wei and his companion, as a way of greeting them.
The other person was a man named Black, who was representing the Crocodile Gang at the banquet.
After Xie Wei sat down, he noticed that there were two empty seats next to him, which seemed to be waiting for someone.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a voice coming from the doorway.
"I'm late, I'm so sorry," Xiong Shanjing said with a smile as he swaggered in. His eyes swept over everyone present, and he paused slightly when he saw Xie Wei and Zhao Yujin.
"Old Xiong, you're the only one here? The Zhao family's son didn't come?"
Xiong Shanjing explained with a smile, "Our young lady had other urgent matters to attend to, so she couldn't come."
Upon hearing the word "Miss" from Xiong Shanjing, Wu Yue and Bu Lun's pupils constricted, and their expressions turned ugly.
Xie Wei naturally didn't miss the changes in the two of them, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Perhaps to cover something up, Wu Yue suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, the once mighty leader of the Eagle Gang has now become a dog under the Zhao family. I really don't know what to say about you."
Xiong Shanjing ignored his words and went straight to sit down.
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you trying to do by gathering us together so secretly?"
Lu Changqing reassured Xiong Shanjing, "Don't worry, I'm not the one who's setting this up today, it's Lao Wu."
Wu Yue took out a box, took out a bottle from the box, and placed it in front of the group.
It is [Medicine] 1.0.
Apart from Bren and Lu Changqing, everyone else showed expressions of surprise.
Wu Yue straightened his back and said loudly, "I believe everyone knows what this is and what it does. I want to use this to make a deal with everyone."
"Where did you get this thing?" Zhao Yujin's tone remained relatively calm, though he was prepared, and he tried to appear very interested.
“I naturally have my own channels. Miss Rose, you don’t need to worry about the goods,” Wu Yue said politely.
Upon hearing Wu Yue's words, Zhao Yujin, hidden behind her mask, revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Everyone here knows each other, so the price is easy to negotiate. However, the stock is limited, so it's first come, first served."
