Chapter 441: 441: Encounter with the Gang Again
The enormous mammoth didn’t cause any hindrance to dining, and it seemed that the huge space for dishes in a private room could be enlarged. The mammoth was a giant dish, and one could pick up any part of it to eat whenever they wanted. This was the magic of the Dimensional Universe.
The food was served, and so was the wine. This time, Huo Li ordered the wine – a newly brewed Nu’er Hong, which was quite expensive, worth millions.
“Come on, everyone, enjoy yourselves! From here, you can also enjoy the singing and dancing below. Let me tell you, watching those beautiful elves from above has a unique charm!”
These martial artists had already noticed that they could see the snow-white scene below, with the beautiful elves dancing gracefully, offering a captivating view. Some people couldn’t take their eyes off them.
At that moment, an exceptionally beautiful elf girl took the stage.
As soon as the beauty appeared, the bar burst into cheers.
“Ling’er! Ling’er!”
“Ling’er, I love you! You’re a goddess!”
Lin Zhen and the others were also attracted by the cheers, and they looked down.
This elf girl was indeed incredibly beautiful. Every woman in the Fairy Forest Bar was stunning, but only this Ling’er possessed truly breathtaking beauty. Her delicate figure and enchanting appearance, resembling a willow blowing in the gentle breeze, would instinctively evoke a desire to protect her in men’s hearts.
Lin Zhen even saw Huo Li’s eyes shining as if he were also a fan of Ling’er.
Many people picked up the flower petals on the table and sprinkled them. Each petal represented a hundred thousand and was a reward for Ling’er.
Ling’er pulled out a microphone, waved at the familiar faces, and even waved at Huo Li on the second floor, indicating that they knew each other.
Huo Li immediately grabbed hundreds of petals and tossed them before shouting, “Ling’er! I love you! Marry me!”
Ling’er flashed a charming smile, didn’t say anything, and began to sing gently.
Her voice was light and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing through the valley, and seemingly possessed a magical power that made one’s thoughts involuntarily turn to pleasant things such as birds, sunshine, and flowers.
Everyone’s faces were filled with intoxicated expressions.
“Ling’er is so beautiful. Who is she?” a martial artist whispered.
“Shush! Don’t talk! She’s the top performer of the Fairy Forest and the number one beauty of the Saint Demon Star’s Elf Clan. Her beauty, accompanied by her sweet voice, is the reason seven or eight out of ten people come here. She sings a few songs every week, and she can earn billions of dollars!”
Everyone closed their eyes, immersing themselves in Ling’er’s enchanting voice. Even Taishan, the Titan, swayed his head slightly to the melody, proving that music transcends boundaries and differences between races.
Lin Zhen also loved her singing, but he didn’t stop eating. He wielded his knife and fork, cut off a big chunk of the golden roasted mammoth meat, and enjoyed it as he listened to the music.
Lin Zhen found that his appetite was surprisingly large now. He consumed a large chunk of meat as if he hadn’t eaten anything, and immediately cut off another big piece, wolfing it down.
The others wasn’t as voracious as Lin Zhen, as they were all immersed in the singing and the beauty of Ling’er.
When the song ended, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and the rain of petals showered on Ling’er as rewards.
Ling’er needed a break after singing one song, so she went backstage to prepare.
During this intermission, Bai Di suggested they should choose a leader so that they could follow commands and show better cohesion once they entered the World Stone.
However, no one responded to Bai Di’s proposal. Although Huo Li had performed better than the others so far, these people were all martial arts geniuses, and to simply buy their loyalty was not enough.
Seeing that no one responded, Bai Di’s face changed, and he put down his knife and fork, saying he needed to go to the bathroom, then left for a while.
After a while, there was a sound of quarreling from outside.
Soon, the quarreling people approached, and it was Bai Di.
Lin Zhen turned around and saw that there were seven or eight people beside Bai Di, some from the Human Clan, and some from the Elf Clan and Wing Clan. They were all dressed ostentatiously and seemed ready to lay hands on Bai Di.
“You brat! You dared to run wild here and not take our Three Heroes Association seriously, huh?”
“Kneel down and apologize immediately, or we’ll track your Dimensional Universe number and exterminate you in reality, killing your entire clan!”
“Coming to the Saint Demon Star and still daring to be so arrogant, you really think you’re something special, huh?”
Taishan slightly furrowed his brows, “Not good, Bai Di has gotten into trouble with gangsters. The Three Heroes Association is a gang on the Saint Demon Star, established by a human, an elf, and a member of the Wing Clan. Their influence is not small.”
A few martial artists nearby became nervous, “What should we do? Should we help Bai Di? Is it okay to fight in the Dimensional Universe?”
Huo Li snorted coldly, “Isn’t that obvious? We came here together, representing the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Of course, we should stand united and advance as one. So what if they’re a gang? Can they just bully us without restraint? What a joke! I’d like to see just how rampant this gang is.”
As he spoke, Huo Li slapped the table and stood up, “Bai Di! Come over here and let me see who dares to lay a finger on you!”
Bai Di was being pushed and shoved by a group of gangsters, looking extremely distressed. But he didn’t dare to take the initiative to go back to his seat, fearing that it would bring trouble to Huo Li and the others. Hearing Huo Li’s shout, he felt like he had caught a lifesaving straw and ran back immediately.
The seven or eight gangsters behind him swayed and followed him over.
The leading human had an arrogant look on his face, “Who’s trying to be a big shot here? Daring to meddle in our Three Heroes Association’s business, are you tired of living?”
Huo Li stood up and snorted coldly, “Since when did the Tri-Heroes Association become so powerful that even the Fairy Forest, this feng shui treasure land, is within your sphere of influence? How come our Huo family doesn’t know about this?”
“Huo family? Which Huo family?” The human martial artist looked a bit puzzled.
“The Huo family of Tianqi Star Mining.” Huo Li said with satisfaction, showing that their family’s influence was not small.
At this moment, Cao Yang whispered in Lin Zhen’s ear, “Their family holds shares in the Tianqi Star Mining Group, though not a major shareholder. They are involved in the mining of some resource planets.”
Lin Zhen nodded. Tianqi Star was a large planet, and the mining group was extremely wealthy, developing resources on planets everywhere. To be involved in this industry, one’s behind-the-scenes power could not be too weak; both the underworld and the official world had to have a certain strength.
Although the Huo family was only a small shareholder, it should not be underestimated.
As expected, the face of the Human Clan warrior of the Tri-Heroes Association changed when he heard this.
“Are you the young master of the Huo family?”
“Yes, my name is Huo Li. You can go and inquire. Our family’s mining group has connections with the higher-ups in your Tri-Heroes Association, so you’d better behave a little, or be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!”
Hearing Huo Li’s righteous reprimand, the Tri-Heroes Association members became somewhat afraid.
“We are so sorry, Young Master Huo. We didn’t know you were here. If we had known they were your friends, we wouldn’t have dared to mess with them, even with more courage.”
“Alright, innocent people are not guilty. You guys can go. Be more cautious next time.”
“Hehe! Thank you, Young Master Huo, for not blaming us. We’ll be going now.”
The warrior led his people a few steps back, then loudly called the waitress to add a few more delicious dishes to their table at a cost of millions.
After the Tri-Heroes Association members left, Huo Li’s face showed a smile again, “Let’s continue eating, don’t let a little incident disturb our drinking mood.”
The meal continued, but some martial artists now looked at Huo Li with a hint of awe in their eyes.
Having strength, talent, and huge power behind him, even gang members had to give him some respect. There shouldn’t be any problem with such a person as their leader, right?
Even Cao Yang and Taishan showed thoughtful expressions.
Only Lin Zhen’s side basically didn’t stop eating; they didn’t forget to eat while watching the show, and that giant mammoth had already been eaten down to the bone by him.
Bai Di glanced at Lin Zhen, then said to everyone, “Does anyone still have objections to Huo Li being our leader?”
Most martial artists agreed, but Lin Zhen, Cao Yang, and Taishan remained silent.
After all, Cao Yang was from Lin Zhen’s territory, so he needed to see Lin Zhen’s opinion.
Lin Zhen ate another large chunk of mammoth meat, put down his knife and fork, and took a sip of wine, “Once we enter the World Stone, there will inevitably be many battles. What ultimately decides our fate is our individual strength, not our backgrounds.”
Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Huo Li’s face changed, not expecting Lin Zhen to be so unimpressed, and was about to erupt.
However, at this moment, the melodious sound of singing and the guqin filled the room again.
It turned out that Ling’er had finished her break, taken out her guqin, and started singing and playing on the stage.
Making loud noises at this time would be angering everyone, so Huo Li fiercely glared at Lin Zhen, “If it wasn’t for my future wife being here, I’d show you what’s what today!”
Lin Zhen didn’t care about his threat, smiling as he picked up his wine glass for a sip. Indeed, Ling’er’s guqin and singing were exceptional and deserved to be appreciated.
Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that Ling’er’s voice was somewhat similar to his wife Yue’er’s, which inexplicably made him feel a little closer to her.
The guqin melodies were intoxicating…
Suddenly, a discordant sound broke the music.
A group of people rushed towards the stage, instantly attracting angry glances from everyone. They wanted to see who dared to disrupt their enjoyment.
However, upon seeing this group, many people quickly withdrew their gazes in fear.
There were about thirty or forty people in the group, including half-beast men from the Lion, Tiger, and Wolf Clans…
There were also some purple-haired, green-skinned demons, each with an incredibly fierce appearance and almost all of them at the Constant Star Stage.
On the Saint Demon Star, the Demon Clan and Beast-Men were two super aggressive races. The countless wars on the entire planet over the years were mostly started by them, so no one dared to offend them.
But what was most important was the embroidered pattern of a tower on their chests.
People of the Heavenly Tower!
The Heavenly Tower was not the same as the small local gangs like Tri-Heroes Association on the Saint Demon Star. The Tri-Heroes Association was just a tiny local snake, while the Heavenly Tower was one of the four major gangs in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, a truly powerful force!
Among these demons and half-beast men, there was a blond youth dressed in silver knight armor with an arrogant expression on his face, apparently the leader of these people.
Lin Zhen was surprised. Wasn’t this the man from the Heavenly Tower he had seen when he first arrived at Hills Star?
The blonde youth waved to Ling’er on the stage, “You, don’t sing anymore. Come down and drink with me!”
