Chapter 1544: Looking for Trouble, Are You?
On the Sun Archipelago today, mainstream media from all countries had gathered!
They were all crammed in front of the Peace Square of the International Spirit Martial Alliance!
Setting up long guns and short cannons—the spectacle was immense!
After all, this Blue Star Roundtable Conference was discussing the matter of how various nations would unite to launch a counteroffensive on the Moon!
It had captured the attention of countless people; one could say the eyes of the entire world were focused here!
And in this lifetime, one probably wouldn’t see this many Dao Heaven-ranked powerhouses in one place ever again!
The Sun Peace Force of the Spirit Martial Alliance was on site maintaining order!
That’s right—the International Spirit Martial Alliance also had troops, but the Sun Peace Force was selected from participating nations!
They mainly took part in world peacekeeping missions, without favoring any side!
Today, Freya wore a light green long dress with a flower crown on her head, looking especially gentle and radiant!
A warm smile hung on her pretty face as she graciously received the arriving Council members!
✨( ॢˊᵒ̴̶̷◡ᵒ̴̶̷ˋॢ)✨
Just one glance at her made one feel like a spring breeze!
Many Council members who were spoken to by Freya scratched their heads, looking a bit shy!
In the distance, Cooper glanced at Freya with disdain!
(≖益≖ꐦ) “Keep acting, you feet-picking woman. Hah—pfft!”
In front of Cooper, Big and Nicole stared at him in confusion.
Nicole even swallowed hard.
(٥•̆﹏•̆) “I don’t know who you’re talking about, but… can you really spit while wearing a mask?”
Cooper: …
“I… I didn’t actually spit. I just went ‘pfft’ to show intent. I…”
But Nicole had already taken two steps back in disgust, unwilling to talk to Cooper anymore.
Cooper: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄…
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Freya!
Freya didn’t look back but secretly put her hand behind her back and gave Cooper the middle finger!
Cooper: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)
Meanwhile, Freya wore a smile as she received Sea King Sena and Merlin, who had just arrived.
(๐ᵒ̶̶̷̀˘˂̶́) “Giggle giggle—Lord Sea King, you’re really so humorous!”
“If I were a few years younger, I might not be able to resist marrying you~”
Sena laughed heartily: (›´ᗜ`‹) “It’s not too late! It’s not too late even now!”
Freya’s pretty face flushed with two rosy clouds, her beautiful eyes shy.
(︶.̫︶๐) “Oh, you’re terrible! But speaking of that, I do have a humble request. I wonder if…”
Sena waved his hand grandly!
(›ˇᗜˇ‹) “Speak! Say it all! Being able to help you is also my honor, Sena!”
Freya looked a bit hesitant, glancing around.
(๐◔₃◔ิ๐) “There are too many people here; it’s not convenient to say. I wonder if we could speak in private?”
Seeing Freya’s expression, Sena couldn’t hold back anymore!
He was directly pulled by Freya to the edge of the square, where few people were.
The two had a secret conversation with their backs to everyone. Sena occasionally scratched his head and let out foolish laughs, looking shy.
୧(›⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴‹)
Merlin, watching from afar, was stunned.
Soon, Sena returned, walking as if floating.
Merlin was shocked: “What did Freya say to you? What’s the matter?”
Sena shook his head, looking mysterious.
(›︶.̮︶‹) “Confidential. Can’t say~”
At this moment, Freya stuffed the POS machine back into her treasure pouch, wearing a scheming expression.
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) “Tsk—lending me only this little. Not generous at all. Totally not enough for me to spend!”
As soon as she turned around, she saw Pang Badi arriving with Alpha and Omega.
Cooper was about to greet them, but Freya’s eyes lit up!
This one’s rich! This one’s loaded!
So she rushed over like a small whirlwind, knocking Cooper—who was about to shake hands with Pang Badi—flying!
She quickly grabbed Pang Badi’s hand.
(ᵔᗜᵔ*) “Giggle giggle—Boss Pang, it’s been a while! Last I heard, you single-handedly held off a falling meteor and unfortunately fell. I didn’t know how long I grieved. I even specially published an article mourning you!”
“Seeing you okay makes me so happy I can’t even express it!”
Pang Badi was at a loss for a moment.
(̿▀̿ㅂ▀̿̿)̄ “Ahaha… is that so?”
So could you stop bringing that up?
Cooper: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) F**k!
But Freya hadn’t chatted long before she used the same excuse to pull Pang Badi aside for a secret talk…
Left with no choice, Cooper could only go receive the newly arrived Sea God Bruce and Black Diamond Andy!
Just then, several streaks of silver light flashed across the sky!
Amidst the reporters’ exclamations!
A Chinese delegation led by Yang Jian descended from the sky on flying swords, making a grand entrance!
As soon as they entered, they attracted the attention of the entire venue!
Especially Jiangnan, dressed in a black suit. His upright figure instantly became the most dazzling presence in the whole venue!
The sound of shutters merged into one continuous roar; countless flashes hit Jiangnan!
Even the Sun Peace Force maintaining order couldn’t hold back the enthusiastic reporters!
They broke through the barrier and surrounded Jiangnan, forming a tight circle!
Yang Jian and the others barely managed to escape from the surging reporters!
Chen Daoyi landed on one foot, holding Ye Zhenguo’s arm with one hand.
(･`益･´◟) “Who the hell stepped on my shoe and knocked one off?”
Ye Zhenguo covered his face: “Brother, can you be any more embarrassing?”
Originally, Jiangnan didn’t want to accept interviews, but when he saw a group of reporters pushing through the crowd, among them was Sister Hu Shuo!
Her glasses were twisted from the pushing, and she nearly fell…
So he quickly stepped forward like a gentleman and helped her up.
(｡≖ิ◡≖ิ) “Sister Shuo? How come you’re here? You moved faster than us?”
Then naturally, he took the microphone from Hu Shuo’s hand and helped straighten her glasses!
This scene, in the eyes of other reporters, made them look at her as if she were extraordinary! Their gazes at Hu Shuo were full of respect!
No way? She’s that close with Nan Shen?
At this moment, Hu Shuo’s face turned red. Oh my god? Nan Shen actually gave her face?
Not only did he accept her interview, but he also helped her?
Feeling the respectful and envious glances of other reporters, Hu Shuo was extremely satisfied and excited!
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷) “Thank you, Nan Shen. Can I ask you a few questions?”
Jiangnan smiled gently: “Go ahead!”
On the night of his supposed death, when Xuexue carried him out of the Bei family’s gate, what Sister Hu Shuo said and did—Jiangnan had remembered it all in his heart!
Even if someone was just a little bit good to him, Jiangnan could remember it for a lifetime!
Hu Shuo’s eyes sparkled with excitement: “On the eve of the Dawn War, you had already taken action to curb the infighting among various factions!”
“During the war, you minimized losses, preserved the Chinese outpost, and extended a helping hand to the Ice Castle!”
“As the most outstanding performer in opening up the joint situation, will you continue to lead all sides and launch the counteroffensive?”
Jiangnan shook his head: “Actually, regarding the Dawn War, I don’t want to say much, because it’s a disgrace. Losing a battle is never something to celebrate!”
“Did China suffer the smallest losses? We lost 14,531 people! Bai Kou’s side lost nearly a hundred thousand!”
“I’m not the most outstanding one; the ones who fell are…”
“As for leading the counteroffensive, my ability, Jiangnan, is limited. It still depends on the wishes of each side!”
Hu Shuo quickly pressed on: “In terms of this counterattack plan, do you have any personal views, Nan Shen?”
“Or what kind of method will you use to strike back? Is there a certainty of victory?”
Jiangnan’s expression remained unchanged: “I’m not sure about other things, but I am sure that if all sides start uniting, it’s a good thing for humanity!”
“As for what the result will be, I don’t know either! If we win, we drink and eat barbecue skewers; if we lose, our ashes go into cans. Everyone, take it easy!”
Hu Shuo almost spat out blood. Can you be any more carefree than that?
Right now, Jiangnan answered some sharp questions Hu Shuo had prepared, fluently and easily, occasionally making the reporters laugh!
He didn’t reveal any details about the counteroffensive!
Yang Jian and the others stood on the square, watching Jiangnan from afar, their faces wearing kind smiles like old fathers!
Their child had grown up; he could take on responsibilities now!
Their hearts were filled with satisfaction!
Meanwhile, on the square, a woman wearing a beret with short hair was looking at Jiangnan with a lovestruck expression!
She wore a black uniform with an evil ghost mask on her face, her features unclear. Only the cross-shaped hellfork emblem on the beret stood out!
She belonged to Cooper’s faction within the Spirit Martial Alliance, holding a very special position!
She was a Punishment Officer!
Punishment Officers were specifically in charge of punishing nations that violated the Alliance’s agreements. They could be said to be the last people any nation wanted to see!
At this moment, the ghost-faced woman was twisting her shoulders excitedly.
(ʃƪ˘ω˘) “Ahhh~ I really want to take a photo with Nan Shen or something? First time seeing him in person! He’s so handsome it drives me crazy, okay?”
Beside her, another Punishment Officer, also wearing an evil ghost mask and carrying a staff-sword, sneered.
(￢_￢) “Do you have to be like this? Jiangnan might be famous, but he’s just a Diamond-rank. You’re Starlight-rank. Do you need to act like you’re seeing a celebrity?”
Ghost-Face Girl: “What do you know, big head? So what if he’s Diamond? Have you ever seen such a strong Diamond? Even Starlight can’t beat my Nan Shen!”
“Count how many Starlight-ranked he’s beaten? You can’t even count them on one hand!”
Staff-Sword Boy sneered: “I just can’t stand the way you hype him up. You’re a fangirl. Does he even know who you are?”
Ghost-Face Girl rolled her eyes: (≖ᴗ≖๑) “Oh, oh, oh~ Look at how sour you sound~”
Staff-Sword Boy glared: “I’m not sour at all!”
With that, he walked straight towards Jiangnan!
Ghost-Face Girl panicked: (ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ “Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Don’t mess around. That’s Nan Shen!”
Staff-Sword Boy didn’t look back: “Routine business!”
By now, Jiangnan had finished answering reporters’ questions and finally broke out of the crowd!
He was waving at Yang Jian and the others from afar, ready to head over!
But a staff-sword was suddenly held horizontally in front of Jiangnan!
Jiangnan’s steps stopped abruptly, looking puzzled.
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ “What’s up?”
Staff-Sword Boy reached out: “Check the invitation. Routine business. Please cooperate with our work!”
Jiangnan: “Oh—sorry about that…”
He said, pulling out the invitation and handing it over!
Staff-Sword Boy took it and flipped through it a few times, frowning at the watermark.
“What’s this all about?”
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ “I don’t know. This is what you guys sent me!”
Staff-Sword Boy said coldly: “I hope you’ll take good care of the invitation. It’s also a sign of respect for our International Spirit Martial Alliance!”
“Your Council membership ID card, please. I need to verify your identity!”
Jiangnan frowned slightly, then started rummaging through his dimensional space!
Staff-Sword Boy said impatiently: “Hurry it up!”
After searching for a long time, Jiangnan finally found it and handed it over!
Staff-Sword Boy took out a portable scanner and swiped it.
“Your information doesn’t show up here. Could this card be problematic? Please wait here until I verify…”
(ꐦ‾᷄～‾᷅) “So, can I interpret this as you deliberately looking for trouble with me?”
Before Staff-Sword Boy could finish, Jiangnan cut him off!
[From Naif: Resentment +1000!]
“How would I dare? You’re the famous Nan Shen!”
Jiangnan slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket, replying nonchalantly: “You know who I am, so why are you still checking?”
“The official announcements also invited me. Others can just walk right in. Why can’t I?”
Naif’s expression didn’t change: “Sorry, spot check. It’s the rule. I have to make sure you are Jiangnan himself, and not some random impostor…”
Before he could finish, Jiangnan had already unbuttoned the last button of his suit jacket!
His eyes, sharp as blades, glared at Naif! He teleported directly in front of him, activating One Thought Asura to the max!
Raising his foot, he delivered a straight kick that slammed heavily into Naif’s chest!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Five consecutive sonic booms rang out! Naif’s chest caved in, he coughed up blood, and his entire body was blasted backward like a cannonball!
Crossing the entire Peace Square, he smashed through the Blue Star stone sculpture in the center of the square, crashed heavily into the Alliance headquarters building, leaving a huge crater in the wall!
Under the force of the wind, Jiangnan’s black tie flew wildly, his face icy cold!
“Looking for trouble with me? I gave you face, didn’t I?”
“Now can you prove that I am Jiangnan himself? Huh?”
“Damn it! Any random Starlight comes to mess with me? The Moon’s battlefront is a bloody mess, and you’re here pulling this rule crap on me?”
At this moment, everyone in Peace Square stared at Jiangnan in shock, mouths wide open!
Yang Jian covered his face! Since the Peace Square was built, Jiangnan was probably the first person to start a brawl here!
With that one kick, Peace Square was no longer peaceful!
