Chapter 1135: Chapter 438: Exhibition (Five-in-One)
Inside Saint Peter’s Venue.
A giant circular platform was situated on the clean, clear water surface.
The entire platform was divided into two parts: one for the competition display, and another for spectators.
The spacious viewing platform was bustling, filled with elegantly dressed wealthy individuals and nobles, each with a radiant smile on their faces.
In the front row area, were gathered major sponsors, with three elderly figures particularly noticeable.
The elderly man on the left was tall and thin, sprightly, with a kind appearance.
The one in the middle wore a black tailcoat, with a white beard and a face filled with wrinkled lines.
The elderly man on the right wore a gray robe, his sparse hair meticulously groomed, and bore an imposing expression on his face.
These three elders were respectively the Jyenis Clan Leader of Saint Joex’s Kagama Interstellar Heavy Industry, the Modi Luo Clan Leader of Futaner Interstellar Heavy Industry, and the Eric Clan Leader of Olivier Interstellar Heavy Industry.
“The promotional effect this time around exceeded expectations, drawing quite a few influential figures.”
“Indeed, we must properly showcase our weaponry later.”
…
The three of them chatted and laughed.
At this moment, the Jyenis Clan Leader came out with Su Ming and others from the backstage passage towards the seating area.
“Lord Jyenis, I am Dovo of the Kanao Group.”
“I am from the Deyo Group….”
…
Upon seeing the Jyenis Clan Leader, numerous dignitaries swarmed like bees to honey, eager to greet and establish connections.
Just then, Mondar, dressed in black Symbiotic Armor and looking like a beast, led his subordinates forward, blocking these guests attempting to cozy up.
The Jyenis Clan Leader nodded with a smile to those who were blocked, as a form of response.
The three from Kagama, seeing the Jyenis Clan Leader arrive, enthusiastically approached him.
“Lord Jyenis, you are finally here!”
“Mmm, got a bit delayed with some matters, please be seated first!”
The Jyenis Clan Leader replied, smiling.
“We cannot sit until you arrive.”
The three from Kagama said with a notably deferential manner.
“No need to stand on ceremony.”
The Jyenis Clan Leader replied, grinning.
At that moment, an elderly man wearing a black suit, with a dark red scarf around his collar, spirited and with a high-bridged nose, approached and called out to the Jyenis Clan Leader.
“Old Jye, you finally decided to show up!”
This elderly man was none other than the Defendi Clan Leader from the Karatasi Mining Interstellar Group Company, a significant figure in Saint Joex.
“Defendi, you came too!”
The Jyenis Clan Leader responded warmly.
“Just thought I’d stop by since I had nothing else to do, is this young man your grandson? He looks quite dashing, why haven’t I seen him before?”
Defendi noticed Su Ming next to the Jyenis Clan Leader and asked with some surprise.
He clearly sensed that Su Ming had an extraordinary aura and looked somewhat familiar, but could not recall meeting him before.
Upon hearing Defendi praise Su Ming, the three from Kagama smiled broadly and joined in the compliments.
“Lord Jyenis, your grandson is indeed very handsome!”
“Not only handsome but also full of spirit!”
“He’s obviously a fine specimen among men!”
…
In fact, the reason they were flattering the Jyenis Clan Leader was that there was a reason. The Sky Base Group, ranked second, had already completed its procurement of arms and weapons, but the Hainte family, ranked third, had not yet procured anything.
The Jyenis Clan Leader listened to their praises, a hint of unnaturalness on his face, wishing his grandchildren were so outstanding.
At this point, Su Ming coughed and began to explain.
“Sorry, there’s been a misunderstanding. I am not Lord Jyenis’s grandson; my name is Su Ming!”
“We are not from the Hainte family; we are with the Thunder God Group.”
Su Yuan chimed in supportively.
Upon hearing Su Ming and Su Yuan, the expressions of the three from Kagama became suddenly stiff, their smiles disappearing.
They had not only flattered the wrong person but had also flattered their competition.
The Thunder God Group was also an arms company, essentially here to compete for business.
“Did I say something wrong?”
Su Yuan scratched his head in confusion, seeing the change in their expressions.
Su Ming looked helplessly at Su Yuan, unsure how to describe it. Su Yuan sure knew how to reveal identities, choosing the wrong moments.
“Are you from the Su Family? Has Old Su come too?”
Defendi glanced around in surprise.
“Lord Defendi, Grandpa did not come; it’s just us.”
Su Ming explained with poise.
Indeed, the prominent figures in Saint Joex might not recognize the younger generation, but they were undoubtedly familiar amongst the elders.
“Oh, I see.”
Defendi nodded in understanding.
This was when the Jyenis Clan Leader spoke.
“Alright, let’s stop this discussion, everyone’s watching, let’s take our seats, it’s about to start.”
“Alright!”
Defendi and the others nodded in agreement.
The Jyenis Clan Leader led everyone to a row of seats.
Su Ming and Su Yuan glanced at the seating, aiming to find a spot by the side.
However, at that moment, the Jyenis Clan Leader gestured to Su Ming and said with a smile.
“Mr. Su Ming, come sit here.”
“Alright!”
Seeing the Jyenis Clan Leader gesturing for him to sit to his right, Su Ming went over and sat down.
Defendi and the three from Kagama seated on the left of the Jyenis Clan Leader were all stunned.
