Shao Yuandong moved quickly.
In less than ten minutes, in Juque City, he had pulled the presidents of two other branch offices into a video conference.
"Old Shao, what is so urgent that you need to send us a video call in the middle of the night?"
A displeased voice sounded.
In the video, a man who looked about the same age as him frowned and spoke.
He had just gone to bed and was about to enter dreamland when a phone call woke him up.
The other person was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, with a head of fiery red hair and skin as smooth as porcelain.
At this moment, she also had a face full of complaints.
Indeed, at the level of an A-level Awakener, a few days of sleeplessness wouldn’t be an issue.
But everyone loves beauty, especially a woman.
"I sincerely apologize to both of you. I do have something very important that I want to discuss with you. If we delay further, I’m afraid others might get wind of it, and by then, things will not be good for us." Shao Yuandong said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Li Jian perked up a bit. "What is it that we need to worry others knowing about?"
His gaze lingered at Han Xu beside Shao Yuandong.
His intuition told him that what Shao Yuandong was going to talk about next was probably related to Han Xu.
"Chairman Shao, let me be blunt. If what you say next is unimpressive, I’m going to hang up the call." Wang Lu said.
"No problem."
Shao Yuandong agreed readily, then turned to Han Xu beside him and said, "Old Han, you know more about this, so you explain it. Remember, don’t leave out any details."
"Don’t worry, Chairman."
Han Xu nodded repeatedly.
"Presidents, I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, but here’s the situation..."
He briefly recounted how he got to know Chen Fan.
Then, he started explaining what had happened in Anshan City tonight, but halfway through his explanation, he was interrupted by the other two.
"Wait, what did you just say? A million Fierce Beasts attacked Anshan City? As I remember, Anshan City is a small city, right? How can a mere small city attract so many Fierce Beasts?"
Suspicion showed in Li Jian’s eyes, as if he was saying, don’t think you can fool me just because we know each other.
"Yes, Anshan City is indeed a small city, but before this attack, a similar situation had already occurred."
Han Xu hurriedly explained, "The previous attack involved around 200,000 Fierce Beasts, including three Commander-level Fierce Beasts, which Li Ping repelled. He also brought the materials of over 2,000 Elite-level Fierce Beasts to our branch office for sale."
Li Jian and Wang Lu exchanged glances.
Thus, whether it’s those major cities or over ten large cities, they all welcome A-level Awakeners greatly.
Not to mention bringing ten people, even bringing a hundred or a thousand people is no issue.
Han Xu saw their thoughts and sighed lightly, "Li Ping could indeed take his family away easily, but he wants to protect not only his family and friends but all the people in Anshan City."
"?"
The atmosphere went silent.
"During the first Fierce Beast attack on the city, I tried to persuade him to leave Anshan City and bring his family to our place. But he refused. Not long after returning, the second wave of beast attacks commenced. This time, the scale exceeded a million beasts, led by two Beast King-level Fierce Beasts — one Profound Ice Python and one Three-headed Snake King."
"Three-headed Snake King!"
"Three-headed Snake King!"
Upon hearing this name, the two presidents exclaimed in unison.
"And then?"
Wang Lu pursued the matter.
Although Li Jian remained silent, his eyes also showed curiosity.
Despite feeling that Anshan City’s fate was evident.
