169: See Iron Guard

Huang Chen's sudden appearance startled the Guards in front of the mansion, and they nearly threw their skills directly at him.

When they saw clearly who the person was, they instantly became respectful.

But when their eyes fell upon the clone carrying Nakamori Meicai over its shoulder behind Huang Chen, an indescribable expression appeared on each of their faces.

After all, the sounds in the video just now were truly intoxicating.

"Chairman Huang, please follow me. The leaders have been waiting for quite some time." A Guard stepped forward and gave Huang Chen a standard military salute. Just as he was about to lead Huang Chen into the City Lord's Mansion, the clone behind him suddenly dissipated. (The clone's duration has been changed to 3 hours.)

"Aiya~"

Taken by surprise, Nakamori Meicai fell to the ground spread-eagled, letting out a painful groan.

Huang Chen turned back, instantly teleported over, scooped her up onto his shoulder with one hand, and strode into the City Lord's Mansion.

A faint whimper came from his ear.

"Slap~"

"Silence!"

Huang Chen roared softly and slapped her round, shapely buttocks.

Yet, this nearly barbaric scene, seen through the eyes of the Guards, filled them with a sense of refreshing satisfaction.

At the entrance to the conference room, Tie Weiguo stood at the very front. This old man, who once governed a nation, stood as straight as a pine tree.

Standing behind him were dozens of high-ranking officials from the current Official Faction.

Their gazes were focused on Huang Chen, their expressions carrying scrutiny and apprehension.

"Little friend Huang Chen." Tie Weiguo was the first to break the silence, his voice steady but lacking some of its usual imposing authority. "This battle... boosted our national prestige!"

He turned slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "Please come inside?"

Huang Chen smiled faintly and slowly looked around, like a fierce beast surveying its territory. Wherever his gaze landed, no one dared to meet his eyes.

To be honest, having lived two lives, Huang Chen had never had a good impression of these high-ranking officials from the Official Faction, with the exception of Tie Weiguo.

In his previous life, the servility these people showed toward the High Martial and Middle Martial worlds, coupled with their internal scheming, made Huang Chen lose all hope for them.

"Hmph!" Huang Chen finally let out a soft sneer and said, "Old Tie, please."

He stepped forward, walked into the main hall, casually tossed Nakamori Meicai onto the floor, and then found a spot to sit down.

Nakamori Meicai's body trembled violently. The extreme sense of humiliation bit at her heart like a venomous snake, nearly suffocating her.

Tie Weiguo frowned, glanced at Nakamori Meicai tossed in the corner, and looked at Huang Chen, saying, "Little friend, this..."

"Don't worry about her!" Huang Chen said flatly.

With his absolutely crushing strength, he wasn't afraid of this woman exposing him.

If she could lure all the Guizi to the Satellite City, he wouldn't mind eliminating them all at once.

"Mhm!"

Tie Weiguo nodded upon hearing this, but a trace of hesitation remained in his eyes.

The matter they were about to discuss concerned the future direction of the entire Huaxia Clan.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it top secret among top secrets.

Was it really okay to leave a Japanese woman like this on the side?

He looked at Huang Chen again, and seeing the firmness in his eyes, he said no more, immediately inviting everyone to sit down.

While everyone was taking their seats, Huang Chen finally checked the goddess record notifications.

Right after the deed, he was only focused on killing, and almost forgot about the system lord's reward.

[Congratulations, Host, for establishing a bond with Nakamori Meicai]

[Bilateral Bond Activated

All Bonded Goddesses receive a boost from all Potential Points the Host obtains.]

[Halo Domain: As long as the Host and a Goddess are within the same large map, the Halo can be activated according to the number of Goddesses on that map.]

After reading the system notifications, Huang Chen opened his personal panel. The unallocated Potential Points were 14,945, which meant Nakamori's bone structure currently reached 305 points.

This was much higher than all the other women besides Consort Shu and Feng Wu.

Huang Chen thought to himself, "Nakamori Meicai must be the Child of Destiny from Sakura Country! I just don't know what her system is. I'll find out by asking in a moment."

By this point, Huang Chen's total Potential Points had reached an astonishing 299,925 points.

He glanced at the panel: Resistance cost 10,000 points, Movement Skill cost 11,100 points, Inner Energy cost 50,000 points, Strength cost 113,880 points, and Stamina cost 100,000 points.

After consideration, Resistance, Movement Skill, and Inner Energy did not need attention for the time being.

With 113,880 points in Strength, his physical attack power, under the bonus of various Halos and skills, reached nearly 8 million.

Only Stamina remained. Although his 2 million Life Points surpassed 5 million with various bonuses.

However, he was worried about going to some Hidden Map where the Lotus Halo and similar effects might fail, posing a certain risk when facing high-level bosses.

With this thought, he immediately added all the Potential Points provided by Nakamori Meicai to Stamina... Soon, the high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Official Faction took their seats one after another, but no one spoke. The atmosphere was extremely heavy, and the air seemed to solidify.

Huang Chen sat sprawled out on his chair.

He originally thought Tie Weiguo wanted to see him privately, but he didn't expect such a massive display.

But since he was here, he would see what tricks they had up their sleeves.

He raised his chin, gesturing for Nakamori Meicai to stand in the shadows of the corner.

Fearing she would displease Huang Chen, Nakamori Meicai immediately scrambled and crawled into the corner.

In just over ten minutes, she had personally witnessed him slaughter tens of thousands of her compatriots.

Although she was the esteemed Saintess, she was still just a girl around 20 years old.

What young girl wasn't afraid of death?

She could no longer muster any hatred for Huang Chen; it had been replaced by extreme terror.

Tie Weiguo cleared his throat, about to open the discussion and get to the main point.

However, just as he started speaking, he was interrupted by an aged voice that contained the power of thunder.

"Wait!"

Sitting opposite Tie Weiguo, an old man dressed in plain cloth robes with white hair and beard slowly stood up.

It was Long Pingsheng!

His cloudy eyes were now startlingly bright, like a torch piercing through history, aimed directly at Huang Chen.

"Old Long!"

A look of surprise flashed in Huang Chen's eyes, and he immediately straightened his posture and nodded toward the man.

The man before him could be called the true spiritual leader in the eyes of the Huaxia Clan people; all Huaxia Clan members admired his integrity and contributions.

"Huang Chen!"

Long Pingsheng's voice was not loud. "I have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

As soon as Long Pingsheng finished speaking, the air in the entire council hall suddenly tightened!

The hearts of all the high-ranking officials leaped into their throats.
