Chapter 902 - 338: The Eve Before Returning to Great Xia (2)
The first to pick up the chopsticks wasn’t Zhang Beixing, but rather the ragtag group he brought to Wu Country.
These guys, after getting Zhang Beixing’s approval, directly started devouring the meal, eating with great relish and joy.
One person was gnawing on a shrimp head as big as a soccer ball.
Another was holding a large crab claw in each hand, eating away.
Lia was more elegant, sitting across from Zhang Beixing, eating gracefully, perhaps deliberately so for Zhang Beixing to see.
Makely seemed to lack appetite, having just a bit of well-done beef before stopping, not touching the chopsticks again.
As for the seafood, Makely hardly touched it, perhaps thinking it wasn’t clean or fearing gout.
The most eye-catching person at this meal wasn’t Zhang Beixing, but another Great Xia man.
This man, with a typical Great Xia face, was eating on his own, his outfit vastly different from Zhang Beixing’s, wearing clothes full of local Wu Country flair.
His appearance was unremarkable, yet he attracted everyone’s attention because no one had seen him before, not even a familiar face among them.
It was everyone’s first time seeing him.
It was precisely because of this first encounter that seeing him sitting naturally next to Zhang Beixing on his left made everyone wonder.
Since both he and Zhang Beixing were from Great Xia, they seemed to understand something.
Another particularly striking point was whether his appetite was a bit excessive?
Though Harley Yous had prepared plenty of food, it would be a stretch for ten times their number to finish it all.
But soon, others would challenge Harley Yous’s confidence.
Leng Bing had piles of plates stacking up like mountains beside him.
Quite astonishing.
"Alright, that’s enough, you’ll scare people."
Zhang Beixing said with a smile to Leng Bing beside him.
He had experienced such a phase in Leng Bing’s situation before.
Never feeling full.
It felt like being an enormous eating machine; nothing filled the stomach.
It could make a person wonder if they should eat some stones to fill up the stomach just to feel that hungry.
"You need to learn to restrain your power first."
"In this world, people don’t come to you because you fight well."
"You must learn to use your brain, combining wisdom with strength for enduring success."
Zhang Beixing pontificated as if pointing out salient facts.
He then came to the real topic of the day.
"You’re too conspicuous now; even if your current strength isn’t officially declared, just by showing up, they’re already speculating whether you’ve reached the Great Grandmaster Realm."
Zhang Beixing said, glancing meaningfully at Leng Bing’s back, "You’ve left a trail of destruction on your way here, too conspicuous."
"..."
Leng Bing remained silent.
He had noticed it too.
Since waking up, he couldn’t control his power.
Now he could barely control the strength in his fingers, which made eating with chopsticks somewhat possible.
But he couldn’t restrain the rest of his body at all.
He was troubled by this, wondering whether a severe injury or fever had damaged his mind.
Why else would his mind be so unresponsive now?
Seeing him catching on, Zhang Beixing said, "Practice when you get back, the flight will land in about three hours."
"Let’s eat quickly, to avoid troubles, and head to the airport immediately, flying back to Great Xia."
"While my whereabouts are still secretive, few know about this, it must be done quickly."
"Otherwise, once those freed troublemakers return to Lanxi, the pursuers will soon catch up."
Hearing the word ’pursuers’, Leng Bing’s gaze turned cold.
"What pursuers?"
He asked coldly.
Zhang Beixing chuckled, "To save you, I hacked a missile, wiping out the rest of Simoski’s minions."
"Did you think you’d still be here speaking and sitting comfortably otherwise?"
Zhang Beixing didn’t mention the thought he held back- Was this kid’s luck too good?
Why else would things develop this way?
How could there suddenly emerge such a highly skilled young female hacker?
Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Guliya, who had been cheerfully gnawing on crab, raised her hand high.
"Me!"
"Minister Zhang is talking about me!"
"Hello Big Boss Leng Bing, you and I will be under Director Zhang Beixing in the future, please look out for me!"
Leng Bing looked confused.
What?
This little girl?
A member of The Ninth Bureau?
Seeing the puzzled look in Leng Bing’s eyes, Guliya felt a bit underestimated.
She snorted and resumed her meal, losing interest.
Leng Bing then realized he had unknowingly offended a beauty.
A life-saving one at that.
He felt awkward and unsure of what to do.
Zhang Beixing, amused, quickly stepped in.
"Don’t underestimate Guliya because she’s young; she’s exceptionally skilled, ranking among the top five in Western Europe for her technical ability and top twenty globally!"
Zhang Beixing said with a smile.
Even Zhang Beixing didn’t notice Guliya slightly pouting dissatisfiedly at his evaluation.
She was clearly top three in Western Europe and top ten globally!
Zhang Beixing continued explaining to Leng Bing.
Introducing those to be recruited into The Ninth Bureau.
Including Lia and Guliya, none would enter the ranks of the Extraordinary Reserve Squad.
Not even the second batch of reservists could they join.
They joined The Ninth Bureau as special consultants, teaching their areas of expertise.
For someone like Guliya, a hacker prodigy, she must be recruited into The Ninth Bureau as a coder.
Hmm!
Harley Yous barely spoke during the meal, only arranging for clean-up afterward.
Zhang Beixing called Li Dongming, who wanted to return to his room, to the rooftop.
Li Dongming didn’t quite understand why Zhang Beixing called him to the rooftop.
But swayed by Zhang Beixing’s authority, he followed.
After waiting ten minutes behind Zhang Beixing, Li Dongming couldn’t bear the suspense, feeling dry-throated, he asked.
"Minister Zhang, is there something you need to discuss with me?"
"Is it because my earlier fortune reading wasn’t good, and you want revenge?"
"You are transcendent, the only one in the world, the strongest, a top official in Great Xia, if you act against a compatriot like me, word might spread unfavorably."
Zhang Beixing turned calmly, glancing at him.
"Don’t play tricks on me here."
"If I genuinely killed you here, do you think news of it would spread?"
Li Dongming’s face immediately froze at these words.
He thought even if he couldn’t handle Zhang Beixing, he could strike a subtle balance with a slightly weak demeanor.
But Zhang Beixing’s bluntness was unexpectedly fierce.
No room for maneuver!
