Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 267: Chapter 266, Room No. 9, the Tianzun Private Room?

President Nan waved off the concern with a smile and said, ”Old Wan, we’re all friends here, so I’m not afraid to tell you. If it were anyone else trying to negotiate with me, even if it were the Ten Great Families, unless it’s the Family Head of the Ten Great Families, I wouldn’t give them the time of day.”

President Wan was taken aback and curiously asked, ”Then today... this...?”

”But the person who’s here to negotiate today, let me put it this way to you...” President Nan leaned in close to President Wan and whispered, ”Even if it’s a Family Head of the Ten Great Families, unless it’s old masters like Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge, I bet they’d have to clear out a room.”

Everyone was stunned. The Family Heads of the Ten Great Families would have to vacate a room? What kind of international joke was this? In Pingnan Province, who could possibly wield such power? Could it be big shots like Numbers One, Two, or Three?

That couldn’t be right either. Numbers One, Two, or Three certainly wouldn’t compete with the Family Heads of the Ten Great Families for a room. Besides, those Family Heads were from the older generation; even Numbers One, Two, or Three would likely give them respect.

So, who on earth had such clout that they could make these Family Heads vacate a room?

”President Nan, you can’t be joking, right?” President Wan asked in a low voice, bewildered. ”How is that possible?”

”What’s so impossible about it!” President Nan retorted, ”In fact, I reckon that even Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge would vacate their room if that person requested it!”

”No way?” President Wan was dumbfounded. ”Even Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge would have to step aside? Who... who on earth could this be? Could it be some influential figure from Capital City? Good heavens, could Pingnan Province even attract such a figure?”

”Heh, you’re out of the loop. This isn’t some influential figure from Capital City!” President Nan shook his head and said, ”In fact, even a big shot from Capital City would at most be considered equal to Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge. How incredibly impactful those two are, who could possibly outshine them?”

”Then... who is it?” President Wan was completely baffled.

”Let’s save that discussion for later!” President Nan waved his hand dismissively: ”Come on, let’s all take a seat and start the meal. General Zhao has been waiting here for so long, my apologies!”

Dongzi was still in a state of confusion but hurriedly responded, feeling anxious, ”No... no worries, we’ve only just arrived ourselves...”

”Alright, everyone please sit!” President Nan suggested, smiling as he invited everyone to take their seats.

After the third round of drinks, Dongzi finally gathered some spirit, and the atmosphere among the guests grew warmer.

Xie Min was on edge the whole time, preoccupied with the matter of Su Yang downstairs. The Earth Respect Private Room, they had to go see it for themselves, otherwise once Su Yang and the others finished their meal and left, wouldn’t they miss the opportunity?

However, Dongzi hadn’t said anything, and she didn’t dare speak up. Although this woman wielded influence, she was also discerning and clearly understood that it wasn’t her place to speak out of turn under these circumstances.

Luckily, after a while, President Nan stood up first.

”Excuse me for a moment, I have some friends in the Tianzun Private Room; I need to go toast them,” President Nan said with a smile.

”The Tianzun Private Room?” Xie Min was shocked. But thinking about it, it made sense. It wasn’t strange for someone acquainted with President Nan to be in the Tianzun Private Room.

”President Nan, I’ll join you!” President Wan said, rising eagerly.

”That’s a good idea, I’ll introduce you to them!” President Nan chuckled and led President Wan away.

Seizing the opportunity, Xie Min immediately said to Dongzi, ”Hey, we better hurry down, or Auntie Wu and the others will be gone!”

Only then did Dongzi remember, and he quickly apologized to the others before rushing downstairs with Xie Min.

However, after searching the area, they couldn’t find the Earth Respect Private Room. In fact, none of the rooms downstairs had room numbers.

”They couldn’t have been toying with us, could they?” Xie Min frowned and said, ”Where is this so-called Earth Respect Private Room? There aren’t even any room numbers; they surely weren’t dining here. They must have made it up to save face!”

”That can’t be, Auntie Wu wouldn’t deceive us!” Dongzi shook his head and grabbed a waiter, ”Young man, do you know where the Earth Respect Private Room is?”

The waiter looked at them with a surprised expression but still replied respectfully, ”Please follow me.”

They followed the waiter through a winding path and finally arrived at a private room entrance.

”This is it!” the waiter announced.

”Wow, this room looks pretty impressive!” Xie Min exclaimed in astonishment.

”Is this really the place?” Dongzi was startled, as the room appeared to be not much inferior to the Earth Respect Private Room.

”Are you sure this is the Earth Respect Private Room?” Dongzi asked Xie Min incredulously.

”Absolutely, I remember it clearly!” Xie Min said, also hesitating to enter, as the room appeared quite imposing.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached as President Wan and President Nan walked up.

”Oh, Dongzi, what are you doing here?” President Wan asked curiously.

”Well, my old neighbor is in the Earth Respect Private Room, and I came to have a look,” Dongzi replied honestly.

”Really?” President Wan’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”Your neighbor? Are you serious?”

”Yes, really. But the waiter brought us here; isn’t there a mistake?” Xie Min said, ”The Earth Respect Private Room... isn’t that just an ordinary room outside? This one doesn’t look ordinary at all!”

”Who said the Earth Respect Private Room was ordinary?” President Wan replied. ”The Earth Respect Private Room is the Tianzun Private Room!”

”What?!” Xie Min’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. The Earth Respect Private Room... was the Tianzun Private Room? Was this some kind of international joke?

”The Earth Respect Private Room is the Tianzun Private Room!” President Wan reiterated. ”Look over there, there were five steps leading up to it when we came by. This room is precisely number nine; this signifies ’Supreme One,’ the Heavenly Sovereign’s position. This is the Tianzun Private Room!”

”This... this... this can’t be...” Xie Min’s lips trembled as she struggled to accept this reality.

”Your friends are here, too?” President Nan was surprised. ”Well, let’s go in together then.”

He marched straight up and knocked on the door; Xie Min and Dongzi watched with wide eyes, in anticipation.

”Come in,” a voice called from inside.

President Nan quickly opened the door with a merry laughter, ”Master Su, what an honor to meet you!”

Xie Min and Dongzi could now see clearly, seated inside were indeed Su Yang, Auntie Wu, Qi’er, and the others.

Xie Min staggered, nearly collapsing to the floor.

She suddenly realized she knew far too little about these people. She also suddenly discovered that Master Fang wasn’t just boasting; they truly possessed such extraordinary capabilities!

President Wan too walked in, while Xie Min and Dongzi were still standing outside, dumbstruck.

”Dongzi, what are you doing? Come in!” President Wan called out softly.

”Dongzi, Dongzi is here?” Auntie Wu immediately got up, excitedly saying, ”Dongzi, Xie Min, you’re here? Come in, come in, have a seat!”
