Chapter 294 - 279 - Night 1_3
Perhaps just an C-grade "Martial Artist" might be needed to completely wipe out everyone here.
However, in the eyes of those stronger than the C-level, national power is often insignificant; they mostly treat governmental organizations as mere tools for managing the country. As long as their fundamental interests are untouched, they choose to let things slide.
Just like Lin Fei right now, in his eyes, this gathering, these high-ranking officials feigning importance, were merely a group of jokes. He could obliterate them with a flick of his hand.
After the collapse of the Five Stars, Hua Nation seemed so fragile.
During the major Dream Eater war, there used to be C-grade warriors dispatched from the heavens to oversee the entire Capital City, and even B-grade warriors stationed there. Now, the high ranks of Hua Nation were like fragile eggs—seemingly hard on a light touch, but they would shatter instantly with a little more force.
The whole family banquet, with Yaofei’s uncles, elder brothers, and a few invited powerful individuals, amounted to a small self-service banquet. The dishes were laid out on a long table, with more than one variety of each dish, everyone just picked up whatever they liked, a fusion of Eastern and Western styles, restrained yet courteous—lacking any flavor of home, yet the banquet was lively.
Among them, Dong Jianxing, Yaofei’s father and the chief character, spoke a few words and then went straight up to the second floor. The rest started chatting and networking.
"My grandpa was also supposed to come, but he apparently had some business to take care of and couldn’t make it," Yaofei whispered in Lin Fei’s ear, "Master, if you find it boring we can leave early. Nobody’s paying attention to me anyway," he said.
"Leave? Aren’t you afraid your dad will scold you to death?" a gentle male voice came from the side. Minghui held a glass of baijiu yet posed as if it was red wine, walking over with a faint smile. However, his attention wasn’t on Yaofei; instead, he was looking fixedly at Lin Fei.
"Long time no see."
