The restaurant's bright lights shone on every face below, each with a different expression. The aroma of food wafted through the air, a delicious treat that should have been eagerly enjoyed, yet no one paid any attention to it.
As soon as Ye Lin uttered those words, Qi Junwei and Qi Chengkai's expressions turned quite ugly. They hadn't expected Ye Lin to show no respect for the Qi family and directly refuse them. The atmosphere in the restaurant instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Aside from the two members of the Qi family, everyone else was overjoyed, especially Chen Xuyuan, who practically had a smile on his face. His son was the captain of the superpower team at this base, and he hadn't even mentioned taking over the base. Yet the Qi family came and tried to steal the spoils halfway through. What a joke!
The current B City base is entirely the result of Ye Lin and his team's hard work, and they will absolutely not allow anyone to destroy it. If the management of the base is handed over, then what difference will there be between the B City base and the other bases?
But thinking about the number of superhumans in the Qi family that he had learned about today, he still smiled and said politely to Qi Junwei, "This dish is getting cold. These are vegetables that the base has worked hard to cultivate. They are very precious. It would be a real shame to waste them. Everyone, please eat quickly."
Qi Junwei and Qi Chengkai also suppressed their frustration and began to eat seriously, no longer mentioning joining the B City base.
After the meal and some polite exchanges, they both returned to their respective residences.
When Qi Junwei and his group returned to their residence, their faces were extremely grim. One of them kicked over the coffee table in front of the sofa, and the stone coffee table crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
But no one in the room paid any attention. After venting his anger, Qi Junwei's expression gradually improved, but the light in his eyes became even deeper. He had expected things wouldn't go so smoothly, but he didn't expect the base chief of City B to be so unyielding and to give the Qi family no face at all.
Another member of the Qi family, who had learned of the situation, saw how angry Qi Junwei was and said resentfully, "This Ye Lin is simply ungrateful. Just because he has been developing in this B City base for a long time, he dares to show such disrespect to the Qi family!"
"If we hadn't known that the B City base had crystal energy cannons, the Qi family's hundreds of ability users could have taken control of the entire base directly."
Qi Chengkai stood at the door, glanced at the person who spoke, and remained silent.
But in fact, the B City base is much more than that. They stayed here for a day, and the people he sent out to inquire had already found out the basic situation of the B City base. Now the number of superhumans registered at the B City base has exceeded 600!
There were more than 200 more of them than the Qi family. Although some of these superhumans had just awakened and their superhuman levels were not high, they were still enough to pose a threat to them. Even without the crystal energy cannon, they might not be able to take them down.
Just then, a signal came through the Qi family's radio. Qi Chengkai walked closer and saw that the signal was completely unfamiliar.
He turned to look at Qi Junwei, who was still angry. Qi Junwei nodded at him, and only then did he connect the radio.
"Patriarch Qi, how have you been? I am Yang Songming, the base commander of Qiyuan Base. Would you be interested in having a chat?"
Qi Junwei stood up from the sofa, waved to Qi Chengkai, and Qi Chengkai led the others out of the room.
Qi Junwei then walked to the radio and said in a deep voice, "So it's Base Chief Yang. I wonder what he wants to talk to me about."
"I suppose Patriarch Qi has already run into a wall with Ye Lin. He's a good person in every way, but he's too straightforward. Working with someone like that is exhausting." Yang Songming's voice, tinged with amusement, came through the receiver.
"What exactly does Chief Yang want to say? No need to beat around the bush, just say it directly." In fact, Qi Junwei already had the answer in his heart. The timing of Yang Songming's contact with them was too coincidental, and his purpose was too obvious.
"Does the Qi family want to switch to cooperating with me? We'll naturally discuss the specifics when we meet." Yang Songming's voice was full of confidence. The B City base was now a gathering of powerful figures. For the Qi family to think they could suppress everyone with their own strength was simply wishful thinking.
If they want to break through this constraint, they will definitely seek a partner, and he is the best one.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Junwei smiled and replied, "Okay, Chief Yang, let's arrange a place and discuss it in detail."
After hanging up the call, Qi Junwei opened the door and, as expected, saw Qi Chengkai standing outside.
Qi Junwei was actually very satisfied with this nephew. He was sensible, quick-witted, and even had outstanding supernatural abilities. It was a pity that he had a son.
Qi Junwei withdrew his gaze and instructed in a low voice, "You and your little lover will come with me in a while. It's time for him to contribute to the Qi family."
Qi Chengkai lowered his head slightly, concealing the light in his eyes. "Yes."
Late the next night, Qi Junwei and several others drove out of the B City base openly. As guests of the B City base, they naturally had the freedom to come and go as they pleased.
Qi Chengkai is a psychic ability user. Even if they are followed while driving, Qi Chengkai can detect it at any time.
The vehicle sped along the mountain road. Qi Chengkai and the man in black sat in the car in front. Qi Chengkai and the man held hands with their index fingers. "When we get there, you go with your second uncle to meet Yang Songming and find out his thoughts. Don't be afraid. Your second uncle knows that your special ability is special and won't let anyone hurt you."
"Hmm." The man nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and rested his head on Qi Chengkai's shoulder, looking like he wanted to sleep.
A smile curved Qi Chengkai's lips. His lover's rare initiative made him very happy, and he silently hugged him tighter.
