Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 45 Invitation

Sure enough, not long after breakfast, around eight o'clock in the morning, Yang Wu received a call from Wang Zijin.

"Yang Wu, I heard you're back from the wilderness?" Wang Zijin's voice came through the phone: "How was it? Let's get together sometime."

"No problem!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "Brother Wang, where shall we meet?"

Wang Zijin is in such a hurry to see me, he probably needs my help with something.

"It's in the Extreme Arena, I'm here now!"

Wang Zijin said with a smile that he was very happy that Yang Wu agreed to meet him so readily.

"Okay, I'm coming right now!" Yang Wu replied.

The Extreme Club is located in Mingyue Residential Area, not far from Yang Wu's villa.

Five minutes later, in the small bar on the first floor of the Extreme Club.

It was early morning, and the bar wasn't very crowded, with only a few people scattered around.

In a secluded corner, Yang Wu and Wang Zijin sat together.

"Yang Wu, I heard you joined the Phantom Squad, which is very famous in our Jiangnan Base City. Is that true?" Wang Zijin asked expectantly.

"Yes." Yang Wu nodded.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zijin's face lit up with a smile: "I've heard that the entire Phantom Squad is composed of Warrior General-level martial artists, and even among Warrior General-level martial artists, they are all elites. Yang Wu, since you've joined them, your strength must be close to that of a Warrior General, right?"

In Wang Zijin's view, although Yang Wu was quite strong, he was far from reaching the level of a warrior general. The Phantom Squad must have taken him in because they valued his talent.

Of course, with the help and support of the Phantom Squad, it would be no problem for Yang Wu to reach the Warrior level in a short period of time.

"I was just lucky," Yang Wu said modestly.

Just a fluke?

A look of confusion flashed across Wang Zijin's face.

"Does this sentence mean the way I understand it?"

"Could it be that Yang Wu, your strength has really reached the level of a warrior general?" Wang Zijin was shocked by Yang Wu's words and couldn't help but ask.

If Yang Wu's strength has truly reached the level of a general, then...

That's wonderful!

He came here specifically to ask Yang Wu for a favor, and since Yang Wu was more capable, he had a better chance of success.

"I was just lucky!" Yang Wu nodded silently, then asked directly, "Brother Wang, you came to see me this time for more than just a simple meeting, right? Is there something you need my help with?"

Sitting opposite Yang Wu, Wang Zijin seemed surprised by Yang Wu's directness. He paused for a moment before cautiously saying, "I did ask you to meet with me today because I have a small favor to ask of you!"

After speaking, Wang Zijin glanced at Yang Wu cautiously. Seeing that Yang Wu did not show any impatience, Wang Zijin felt relieved and continued, "In a few days, it will be the sixtieth birthday of our Wang family head. I would like to ask you to accompany me to the Kyoto base city to celebrate the birthday. I wonder if you have time, Yang Wu?"

"Is it the Wang family patriarch's birthday?"

Yang Wu frowned slightly.

The Wang family is one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance, and the only one among them that belongs to China. In other words, within China, the Wang family can fully represent the HR Alliance.

"Given the Wang family's strength, they are not someone I can afford to offend right now. I should find out the specifics of the matter first," Yang Wu thought to himself.

Moreover, even if Yang Wu could afford to offend the Wang family, he would never provoke them for the sake of Wang Zijin.

After all, although Yang Wu and Wang Zijin were close, their relationship wasn't that serious.

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid this trip to Kyoto Base City isn't just about celebrating a birthday, is it?" Yang Wu asked directly.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you! Actually, even if you hadn't asked, Yang Wu, I would have told you right away!"

Wang Zijin said with a smile, "The main reason I went to Kyoto Base City this time was because I heard that the eldest son of our Wang family is going to transfer to our Jiangnan Base City."

Our Wang family's influence is mainly in the Kyoto base city, while in the Jiangnan base city, the resources belonging to the Wang family are limited. If this eldest son of the direct line comes here, he will definitely take away a lot of resources.

So, my father wanted me to go to the Kyoto base city to see if I could reduce the cost of the trip.

"Brother Wang, I don't have any connection with your Wang family. Even if I go with you, it probably won't make any difference!" Yang Wu asked doubtfully.

"Yang Wu, you don't understand." Wang Zijin said with a wry smile, "Although our Wang family is engaged in various business activities, in the end, we are still a large family that speaks with strength. If our Wang family didn't have a strong person in charge, we probably wouldn't have become one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance."

"Yang Wu, you are very powerful. If you could accompany me to the Kyoto base city to support me, I would feel more confident."

Actually, what Wang Zijin initially had his eye on was the Phantom Squad behind Yang Wu. However, Yang Wu actually broke through to the Warrior General level, which was simply unbelievable.

Wang Zijin was well aware of Yang Wu's previous strength. Just two months ago, Yang Wu had only become a quasi-martial artist, but now he had actually become a general-level martial artist. Therefore, in his eyes, Yang Wu's talent was already significant enough.

There was no need to go through the trouble of inviting the Phantom Squad via Yang Wu. Besides, he'd heard that Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Phantom Squad, wasn't an easy person to talk to, and he wasn't exactly confident to begin with.

Yang Wu finally understood Wang Zijin's purpose, but he didn't know whether he should get involved in such a matter.

He didn't mind lending a hand when Wang Zijin was in trouble, but this also involved the eldest son of the Wang family.

If Yang Wu remembered correctly, the young master who transferred schools, as Wang Zijin mentioned, should be Wang Xingping, the one who pursued the female lead Xu Xin in the original novel. Although Yang Wu wasn't afraid of him, he didn't want to invite trouble.

Seeing Yang Wu's hesitant expression, Wang Zijin quickly said, "Yang Wu, don't worry, this is just a birthday celebration. Uncle Liu will be with us, so we won't make things difficult for you!"

Now that things have come to this point, it would be rather unreasonable for Yang Wu not to agree.

"Brother Wang, I wonder what the exact date of the Wang family patriarch's birthday is. I need to see if I have time."

Upon hearing Yang Wu's question, Wang Zijin was overjoyed and quickly replied, "September 12th!"

After saying that, Wang Zijin looked at Yang Wu nervously, as if afraid that he would say that there was no time.

"No problem, our team is currently resting, so I'll go to Kyoto Base City with Brother Wang then!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

To be honest, Yang Wu hasn't visited any other base cities since he came to this world.

After the business was settled, Yang Wu and his companion chatted for a while before parting ways.
