Chapter 259 The Expected Development of the Banquet
After realizing the special circumstances, Liu Dawei suppressed his desire for indulgence and chanted a calming mantra to help him calm down and adapt to the situation as quickly as possible.
These basic scriptures are widely circulated online!
He never even considered staying outside!
The main reason is that the export price of cultivation resources from China is simply too high! Foreign countries have to pay several times the price to obtain them!
How can you win people's hearts without enough benefits?
As for overseas, spiritual veins and cultivation resources are controlled by the upper class, and ordinary people have no access to them at all! Ordinary people outside are truly living in dire straits. It's normal for a few people to go missing from time to time or be captured and used as test subjects by some faction. After all, there are so many homeless people and illegal immigrants overseas, so there is no shortage of experimental materials!
The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.
The darkness hidden in this sentence is hard to describe in words!
Compared to China, the glamorous facade of foreign countries is nothing short of hell on earth!
These are things that everyone knows, and Liu Dawei is fully aware of them. Patriotism has prerequisites; it's impossible for anyone to rely solely on passion! Such actions cannot last.
As for the other members of the team he brought on this trip, Liu Dawei gave them a few instructions but didn't pay them too much attention. They weren't core personnel of the company anyway. However, just for safety's sake, he would probably have to check on the core personnel of the company who had previously traveled abroad after returning home to see if any of them had been misled.
Even Li Muyang didn't expect that his momentary appreciation for Miyano Akemi's talent, and his decision to invite her to be the company's spokesperson and manager, would in a sense be a very suitable choice! At the very least, it can effectively prevent such situations! There's no need to worry too much about traitors appearing in the company.
Afterwards, Liu Dawei quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Lucius Fox, the president of Wayne Group. In fact, Mijia was preparing to go international. Currently, Mijia is mainly popular in China. To open the door to the international market, it needs a leader.
I happened to hear that Mr. Bruce, the owner of Wayne Group, seemed to really like Mijia games and appreciated the storyline. He even sent me an invitation, so I took the opportunity to make contact.
Okay, so the old man is a rice fan too!
With the cooperation agreement reached, the banquet, though late, was held, and Li Muyang was finally able to meet Bruce Wayne, the beloved Batman, whom he had been longing to see!
Although he looks like just a playboy now!
The banquet was a pleasant affair, with no vulgarity or provocative behavior. Everyone was an adult and a person of standing; regardless of their private lives, they certainly wouldn't do anything out in public, as it would be too embarrassing if word got out!
If we're going to do something, we should at least make a complete break first!
Li Muyang couldn't possibly show any overly friendly attitude towards Bruce Wayne; maintaining a friendly demeanor would be good enough. He might like him, but when Batman was actually standing in front of him, Li Muyang naturally had to exercise some restraint.
However, trouble always arrives, albeit late.
As expected, the banquet was attacked!
A tall, muscular man carrying a medicine jar on his back, wearing a mask, and with several breathing tubes inserted into the jar, stormed into the venue with a group of henchmen! This immediately caused screams of alarm among the dignitaries present. Even those with powerful families were still vulnerable, and the wealthy and powerful, who valued their lives, would not easily resort to force.
They are afraid of death, and even more afraid of suffering; therefore, most of them are just ordinary people!
Liu Dawei remained calm upon seeing this, but inwardly he was overjoyed! It was finally his turn to show off!
The instant he burst in, without hesitation, he leaped forward and delivered a punch to the burly man who had broken in!
Li Muyang couldn't stop him no matter what!
Upon seeing Liu Dawei leaping towards him, the burly man snorted disdainfully and raised his massive fist to strike back.
The two fists, one big and one small, collided, and the burly man was immediately knocked back several steps! Fortunately, his henchmen behind him helped to share some of the force, while Liu Dawei nimbly flipped in mid-air, using the momentum to land easily on the ground! This drew applause from the group of powerful figures hiding in the shadows! I'd give you 82 points! The rest is 666!
However, the burly man was not intimidated at all. After adjusting his posture, he charged at Liu Dawei again!
Liu Dawei believed that he had already tested the strong man's strength with his punch. He was confident but cautious. After all, he was just a mage-type cultivator, not a body cultivator. So he wanted to give himself a buff before counterattacking. As a bright light rose from his body, Liu Dawei was ready to unleash another punch!
Lock on! Strengthen! Unstoppable momentum!
When he noticed the burly man opposite him revealing a smug smile, it was too late!
The aura emanating from Liu Dawei, who had been so confident at the beginning, suddenly vanished! His previously unstoppable momentum seemed to have disappeared in an instant! The two fists, one large and one small, collided again, but the result was completely different!
Liu Dawei was sent flying like a kite with a broken string! He crashed into the wall! He lowered his head helplessly, his fist twisted and broken, becoming unnatural! He instantly fell into a coma.
The whole place was in an uproar!
The burly man sneered, "You think I don't know there are Chinese cultivators here? You're kidding! Do you think I could have attacked this place without prior preparation? I have to admit, you are indeed powerful, but unfortunately, I have a device specifically designed to counter you!"
The others in the group paled upon sensing this! They were unable to mobilize their own primordial spiritual power! In other words, under these circumstances, they couldn't unleash the combat power expected of cultivators at all! They were barely stronger than ordinary people!
Li Muyang stretched his muscles and bones, and thought, "Hmm, I'm fine."
He has little impact.
It should be something like a shielding device, with a limited range, capable of suppressing spiritual energy and power within its range, preventing them from being mobilized. This is also why Liu Dawei suddenly lost his strength just now.
However, while this device can forcibly break through the shield using its own power, there is a problem: the device works continuously, and if it cannot be destroyed or shut down, it will continue to have an impact. Simply put, the shield can be broken through, but only temporarily.
Logically speaking, if Liu Dawei had sensed something was wrong beforehand and dealt with the device through a roundabout approach, he would have had a chance to turn the tables. The problem was that the strong man didn't use his full strength in the first punch; he was probably deliberately baiting Liu Dawei to lower his guard, luring him into a second punch, and then defeating him with one blow!
The plan was simple, but it was easy to fall for it!
As for those few Golden Core cultivators, forget about it. They can't break through this barrier. They'll just have to obediently have the power-limiting devices installed on them and squat down as hostages!
The burly man's henchmen acted quickly and soon brought everyone in the room under control, including Bruce and Li Muyang.
Both the master and Li Muyang cooperated very well. It was clear that Bruce had encountered this kind of thing many times before. Li Muyang, on the other hand, was completely gifted. Unconsciously, the two happened to meet each other's eyes and gave an awkward smile. What a coincidence, you were also taken hostage?
It wasn't that Li Muyang was pretending to be cowardly; it was just that he didn't really have any intention of saving these powerful and influential people.
Anyway, most of them are from the Owl Court. As for Liu Dawei's people, we just need to ensure their safety for now.
If I were in such a desperate situation and forcefully saved everyone present, I wouldn't receive gratitude from them, but rather the fear and hostility of those in power! It would cause a lot of trouble afterwards! Such acts of repaying kindness with enmity are all too common abroad!
Otherwise, why do superheroes prefer to hide their identities? Is it because they dislike being in the public eye? No, it's because they're afraid of trouble and disruption to their daily lives!
The burly man's actions were clearly not about revenge, but rather he had other goals.
Old Li obediently covered his head to prevent crouching, watching Bain... well, that burly man carrying the medicine jar, pry Liu Dawei out of the wall and carelessly throw him to the ground. A henchman hurriedly stepped forward and put a collar that restricted spiritual energy around Liu Dawei's neck.
Then Bain grinned and said, "Does anyone know any medicine? Can they keep this guy alive? If not, then this Mr. Liu will just have to fend for himself!"
What else could Li Muyang do? He could only raise his hand to indicate that he was a doctor, and with a fawning smile, he said, "Thank you for your mercy, brother! What exactly do you want?"
Bain was quite pleased with Li Muyang's flattery. Despite his seemingly reckless appearance, Li Muyang was not a complete idiot; in fact, he was quite intelligent! Otherwise, he wouldn't have used a spiritual energy shield to deal with Liu Dawei. It was clear that he had been planning this for a long time.
Well, this kind of equipment isn't exactly a secret abroad, but it's officially military equipment, so it's theoretically inaccessible to the average person. Of course, it's possible that some talented individuals could build it themselves.
Bane didn't hide his purpose and quickly explained that it was to lure Batman out to settle scores.
Most of Gotham's top brass are here right now. If Bane attacks and kidnaps the people here, he doesn't believe Batman will stand idly by!
Bruce (￢_￢) glances: ……
I'd like to help! But could you at least let me go out and change my clothes?
Li Muyang gave Liu Dawei a simple treatment, without using any spiritual power or energy, just enough to temporarily stop his injuries from worsening. The equipment he gave Liu Dawei was probably quite sophisticated, as it suppressed the power within his body completely, leaving him motionless and only able to recover through his own physical instincts.
If he doesn't receive timely treatment, Liu Dawei might collapse here.
Sigh, it seems Li Muyang made the right decision coming here! Otherwise, even if Liu Dawei hadn't perished here, he probably would have been on his last breath before returning home.
Just after tidying up Liu Dawei, Bain came to Li Muyang's side and asked meaningfully, "My file doesn't show your identity? You seem quite calm?"
"Just taking things as they come." Li Muyang still wore a seemingly fawning smile, but Bain could tell that it was a completely fake smile!
Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.
