Chapter 66

Chapter 29: You Don’t Actually Think You Can Beat Me, Do You?

　　This… is the grand suite of Tianhai Grand Hotel, the largest and most luxurious one.

　　Yuan Xiaoling didn’t understand what this room signified, but she thought it was nicely decorated. The tables, chairs, and utensils were all very pretty.

　　There were about seven or eight people sitting in the suite, all looking to be around 20 years old, similar to Mu Ron Han. Yuan Xiaoling noticed that as soon as she entered, they all stared at her.

　　Why are you looking at me? Aren’t you here for revenge on Bai Ling? Look at her!

　　”Miss Bai Ling, and Miss Yuan Xiaoling has also arrived. My apologies for not greeting you sooner.” Wang Chengze said, a flicker of admiration crossing his eyes.

　　So, the guys weren’t lying after all.

　　Bai Ling ignored him. It was obviously a treacherous feast, yet he still pretended to be courteous. Unexpectedly, a soft voice came from beside her—

　　”It’s no problem, better late than never.” Yuan Xiaoling said seriously.

　　The room fell silent for a moment, Mu Ron Han instinctively tried to stand up but was pushed back down by Wang Chengze.

　　What the hell, you actually intend to show respect?

　　Bai Ling and Yuan Xiaoling sat down at the two specially reserved seats, facing the window with their backs against the wall, with no way to retreat.

　　”Speak,” Bai Ling said calmly, “Why did you call me here?”

　　”No rush, our esteemed guests have traveled far. Have some food first.” Wang Chengze clapped his hands, and several waiters rolled in carts loaded with dishes.

　　It was truly a lavish spread—bear paws, lamb, hairy crabs, red wine, foie gras, caviar, and dishes Yuan Xiaoling didn’t recognize.

　　Finally, two waiters carried in a large platter, uncovered it, and there lay a big lobster, sizzling with steam, its aroma of seafood mixed with wine both tempting and intoxicating.

　　Yuan Xiaoling’s eyes lit up.

　　Bai Ling raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, so this is what my roommate called the “wine-soaked giant lobster,” it does seem quite good.

　　Seeing their expressions, everyone in the room exchanged knowing smiles, everything unspoken.

　　”Miss Bai Ling, Miss Yuan Xiaoling, this is our signature dish, unavailable anywhere else,” Wang Chengze swirled his wine glass, “Of course, we owe much to Mr. Huang.”

　　The slightly chubby youth sitting in the corner modestly smiled, “Nonsense, all thanks to everyone’s support for my business.”

　　This meal had no issues—it was a gesture before the real confrontation, and indeed a warning.

　　Wang Chengze and his group were practicing new rules, namely “social graces” and “interest groups.” This meal was telling Bai Ling and Yuan Xiaoling that they controlled Tianhai City. Whatever they wanted to do would involve these people.

　　The globally renowned Tianhai Lobster was monopolized by Huang Family’s company, supplying exclusively to Tianhai Grand Hotel, which belonged to the Zhou family, whose heir sat next to Mu Ron Han.

　　This was just the tip of the iceberg of high society indulgence.

　　Such indulgences undeniably held strong appeal for Spiritual Energy Manipulators. After all, everyone wants to eat well, use quality items, receive the best service wherever they go, live in the biggest houses, drink the finest wines, and have the prettiest women.

　　Through these social resources, they could easily recruit a large number of Spiritual Energy Manipulators in the early stages, forming a suction effect—more manipulators under their command meant more control over resources, and more resources allowed them to recruit even more manipulators.

　　This was the societal rule recognized by these young masters for the New Era.

　　Wang Chengze leisurely swirled his wine glass, observing their expressions. Now you should understand, Miss Bai Ling, how useful is your combat ability? Do you dare oppose our entire interest group?

　　He could see that the white-haired maiden was hesitating.

　　Hmm, Bai Ling was indeed hesitating—whether or not to help Yuan Xiaoling crack the lobster shell.

　　It looked troublesome, and she didn’t know how to do it. But her roommate said Yuan Xiaoling would definitely be happy if she did, and the blonde girl’s face was already full of longing, clearly wanting to eat it.

　　The grand suite was eerily quiet, no one spoke. They, like Wang Chengze, were waiting for Bai Ling to bow her head after realizing the reality.

　　Mu Ron Han swallowed hard, not for the food on the table, but for the blonde busty girl across from him.

　　A few minutes later, Bai Ling sighed. In front of everyone’s gaze, she… picked up the chopsticks and forcefully stabbed into the lobster’s shell.

　　Stabbing through the middle and splitting it apart, it should be like this, crunch crunch crunch…

　　Though the lobster ended up completely disfigured, through her focus and effort, she managed to extract a large piece of translucent shrimp meat, placing it on Yuan Xiaoling’s bowl with a knife and fork.

　　”Eat,” she said.

　　Yuan Xiaoling looked up gratefully, her light blue eyes sparkling brightly, “Okay!”

　　Ah! A bite, it’s delicious.

　　Indeed, she thought happily, her roommate wasn’t lying.

　　On the other side, Wang Chengze glanced at the person beside him, who also looked back at him, unsure of the situation. Was she accepting reality and compromising, or simply failing to grasp the intention behind this dish?

　　He looked at Mu Ron Han, noticing that Mu Ron Han kept staring at Yuan Xiaoling, offering no useful information.

　　Since they’re eating peacefully, it means they’ve accepted reality, right? Wang Chengze thought.

　　He lifted his wine glass and walked towards Bai Ling, “Miss Bai Ling, I’m glad you’ve made your decision. Rest assured, the next era belongs to us, and you will join me in stepping…”

　　He wasn’t like Mu Ron Han, who only cared about lust. No matter how beautiful Yuan Xiaoling was or how great her figure was, she was nothing more than a brainless decoration, suitable only as a plaything. But this white-haired icy beauty, powerful in strength, capturing her would be equivalent to having a powerful weapon, and furthermore…

　　Thinking about this, Wang Chengze couldn’t help but extend his hand, intending to lift Bai Ling’s chin—

　　BOOM!!

　　No one reacted in time. Mu Ron Han trembled, turning back with everyone else, seeing Wang Chengze getting blasted away by telekinesis, embedded in the wall like a specimen.

　　With second-tier late-stage Enhancement-type abilities, plus Bai Ling holding back, he wasn’t killed instantly, but he was injured significantly.

　　Bai Ling looked at him with an expression akin to looking at a fool, asking casually,

　　”What are you doing?”

　　How could someone dare to directly challenge a Spiritual Energy Manipulator three tiers higher than themselves? Is their brain broken?

　　Wang Chengze spat out a mouthful of blood. Only now did he finally realize that Bai Ling wasn’t misunderstanding the meaning behind the dish; she simply didn’t take him seriously.

　　”What are you waiting for!” He shouted angrily, “Take them down!”

　　Everyone in the room immediately stood up, releasing second-tier and third-tier spiritual energy in the confined space. A hole was punched through the wall behind Bai Ling. Outside in the corridor, a waiter screamed and ran off.

　　Bai Ling leaned back with the flow, her telekinetic power pushing her chair towards the corridor. The room was too small, crowded with people, making it difficult for her to control her powers. She might accidentally kill a few.

　　The others chased after her, along with the thugs waiting outside, resulting in a fierce battle in the corridor and hall.

　　In the suite, besides Wang Chengze stuck in the wall unable to move, only Mu Ron Han didn’t chase out. He stood up, looking at Yuan Xiaoling who was still eating the lobster, and gave a strange smile. His muscles gradually bulged, tearing his clothes.

　　”Miss Yuan Xiaoling, I really want to… please don’t resist and force me to act harshly.”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, a high-pressure stream of water suddenly appeared in front of him, slamming him to the ground with a clang.

　　What the hell is this?

　　Mu Ron Han fully activated his ability, breaking free from the water binding him and standing up. He saw Yuan Xiaoling’s innocent and cute little face, blinking innocently at him.

　　”You don’t actually think you can beat me, do you?”

　　Said the soft voice.
