Free Web NovelChapter 1017: Chapter 396: Invitations from the Three Major Factions
"These people sure act quickly."
Looking at the embossed invitation in his hand, Zhang Beixing smiled slightly and casually tossed it onto the table.
"Carter Ross, what do you think about this?"
Sitting across from Zhang Beixing was Carter Ross, the leader of the Ross Clan, one of the three major powers.
After withdrawing from yesterday’s tripartite meeting, the first thing Carter Ross did upon returning home was to convene a family meeting.
The purpose was to reach a unified family decision on Zhang Beixing’s arrival in the Ninth District. Of course, any family would have opposing sides.
However, after Carter Ross dealt with a few dissenters, the Ross Clan’s opinion became highly unified. This was one reason Carter Ross appeared in front of Zhang Beixing.
"This matter has nothing to do with our Ross Clan. I think they just want to leverage the fame of the three major powers."
Carter Ross laughed out loud, as if he had heard a funny joke.
"But they’re really stupid. When I left that meeting, the three major powers had already fallen apart."
Carter Ross seemed to talk to himself, but in fact, these words were meant for Zhang Beixing to hear.
He feared Zhang Beixing might get angry over this matter and involve his family in his wrath.
"Don’t worry, I’m not that mindless."
Zhang Beixing smiled slightly and then looked towards Leng Bing who stood nearby.
"This time it’s your team’s trial, so I’ll leave it entirely to you. Just get the information I want, nothing else matters. Handle it as you see fit."
Standing by, Leng Bing nodded in agreement. Although his face remained calm, inwardly, he was jubilant.
The previous team shone brightly and became the envy of everyone in The Ninth Bureau. This time, Leng Bing and his team were determined to make their mark alongside Zhang Beixing.
"Yes, Minister!"
Leng Bing nodded and turned to head out the door.
Watching Leng Bing’s departing figure, Carter Ross’s gaze remained on Leng Bing.
The Ross Clan had no shortage of skilled individuals, and Carter Ross was no stranger to talent, yet he found he couldn’t gauge Leng Bing’s strength.
"Could he be a Great Grandmaster?"
Carter Ross wondered, but the more he thought about the feeling Leng Bing gave him, the more he felt Leng Bing was the legendary Great Grandmaster.
"If he truly is a Great Grandmaster, then what is Zhang Beixing? An Extraordinary Person? Is that possible?"
The Transcendent level in the world exists only in legend. Even considering Zhang Beixing’s formidable strength, in Carter Ross’s eyes, he was merely an immensely powerful Great Grandmaster. He didn’t believe that Zhang Beixing was a Transcendent being.
After all, everyone believed in the existence of the Transcendent, it was better to believe in the possibility of creating a Perpetual Motion Machine.
"So let’s continue discussing that matter you just brought up."
After Leng Bing’s departure, Zhang Beixing’s focus returned to the issue raised by Carter Ross, which concerned intelligence on the DE Clan.
Meanwhile, Leng Bing had already gathered his team. This was their first overseas mission, and any error was unacceptable.
If this mission ended in failure, Leng Bing wouldn’t need Zhang Beixing to do anything; he would dissolve the team himself.
"So you’ve all heard the mission details clearly. We need to contain them, defeat them, and showcase our own might!"
Looking at the female team members before him, Leng Bing’s expression was more serious than ever before.
The female team members too recognized the gravity of the situation, abandoning their usual playful demeanor. Each face was solemn and dignified.
"I will now assign your tasks. Remember, there can be no mistakes. If anyone embarrasses themselves now, I will expel them from The Ninth Bureau and erase their military identity!"
Leng Bing didn’t speak loudly, but it was enough for everyone present to hear him clearly.
"Yes, sir!"
The team members saluted, each determined and resolved.
"Leng Bing is really uptight, making the pre-mission talk so serious. If it were me, I’d take these girls out for some fun."
Zhang Beixing spoke dismissively, but in truth, he had complete knowledge of Leng Bing and his team’s movements.
He even knew, should he wish, exactly how often each member of the second team visited the bathroom and how many sheets of paper they used.
Since entering The Ninth Bureau, they were elite forces among the military. Cultivating such elites was indeed challenging.
Even if they didn’t meet Zhang Beixing’s standards, he didn’t want them to die on missions due to lack of ability. He could easily send them back to their original unit to excel where they were better suited.
However, if the second team girls heard what Zhang Beixing said, who knows what they would think.
At the appointed time, Leng Bing represented Zhang Beixing at the location specified in the invitation. This place was the hotel chosen by the three major powers for their meetings.
"The hotel currently has 24 floors. You follow the plan to occupy your designated positions, then wait for my order."
