Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 81 The Banquet

After everyone followed Yang Wu to the Jiangnan Base City.

That evening, a grand banquet was held at the Extreme Club in Jiangnan Base City.

With the participation of Hong and Thor, many powerful councilors from the War God Palace rushed over.

By the time the final banquet began, more than half of the councilors and powerful figures from the War God Palace had gathered in this Jiangnan base city.

Pleasant music echoed throughout the banquet hall, and a large number of handsome male and beautiful female waiters served various fine wines and delicacies under the direction of the president and supervisors of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

Inside the hall, more than thirty powerful members of parliament gathered in twos and threes to talk amongst themselves.

As for the War God-level powerhouses who arrived, they were not qualified to appear in this main hall and could only gather in another side hall.

"Councilor Yang Wu was able to kill the Fifth Speaker, so his strength is probably on par with the First and Second Speakers!"

"Yes, Third Speaker Mohandson may have been able to defeat Atkin, but he could never have killed him."

Many of the powerful members of parliament were whispering among themselves to their friends.

The death of Fifth Speaker Atkin and Yang Wu's sudden rise to power shocked everyone.

Although humanity's overall strength has not decreased, and has even increased, the world situation has changed dramatically.

What should happen to those who were originally on good terms with Atkin, and even some of the powerful figures who gathered around him, after Atkin's death?

How will the spoils be distributed after Yang Wu becomes the third strongest person in the world? Will a new, powerful force emerge in the world?

These events made the councilors very uneasy, and some independent and strong councilors even began to consider the possibility of siding with Yang Wu.

If Yang Wu were willing, he could probably raise his arms and create a new force comparable to the two major martial arts schools and the HR Alliance.

……

Yang Wu was sitting with Hong and Lei Shen at that moment.

The three of them sat at a table by themselves, and no one dared to disturb them.

"These people have such bizarre ideas!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

With their combined strength, overhearing everyone's conversation would be incredibly easy for them. Even if someone created a barrier around them using Force, it wouldn't be able to stop Yang Wu and his companions from probing.

"That's normal!"

Thor sat opposite Yang Wu, smiling, and said, "These people may know a bit about the universe, but their vision is ultimately too narrow; they only focus on the powerful figures on Earth. With your recent big splash, it's no wonder they're paying attention! So, how about it, interested in forming a new power to play around with?"

Yang Wu chuckled to himself.

Knowing the vastness of the universe, he never paid attention to the thoughts of these senators. If Atkin hadn't deliberately plotted against him, he might not have even remembered this person.

"Forget it!" Yang Wu shook his head and refused, "I have no interest! The stronger I become, the more insignificant I feel. I'd rather cultivate alone in peace."

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, both Hong and Lei Shen laughed.

Yang Wu's perspective made them both quite happy.

These rights on Earth were truly beneath their notice. Otherwise, a behemoth like the HR Alliance wouldn't have existed.

If it weren't for the goal of making human martial artists stronger, the two of them might have ended up like some other reclusive councilors, never bothering to establish two major martial arts schools.

Since their establishment, the two martial arts schools have trained countless powerful martial artists for humanity.

There are also global basic training camps and elite training camps, all of which are designed to cultivate strong individuals for humanity.

Even if a god of war or a new councilor were to emerge among humanity, the help they would receive from Hong and Thor would be negligible. But they continue to strive, solely for the sake of making humanity stronger.

"Since you, Yang Wu, have no intention of building your own power base, why not just have the title of deputy head of the martial arts school?" Hong said with a smile. "That way, there will be fewer troubles!"

The Ultimate Martial Arts Academy already has the world's strongest fighter in charge, so even if there were one more, the crowd wouldn't react much. It could be said that this is the least disruptive approach.

"It's entirely up to the museum owner!"

Yang Wu naturally wouldn't refuse Hong's kind offer.

"Yang Wu, stop calling me Master!" Hong waved his hand and said, "If you want, just call me Brother Hong like Thor does!"

"I understand, Brother Hong," Yang Wu said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll take care of the rest!"

After Hong finished speaking, he glanced around the room and then called out in a low voice, "Everyone!"

Hong's voice wasn't loud, but no one could ignore it. In an instant, everyone in the hall fell silent.

"I'm sure everyone already knows what happened today!" Hong's voice was icy cold. "Thor and I established the War God Palace, bringing everyone together in the hope that we could unite and work together for the survival of humanity!"

"But this traitor Atkin dares to collude with monsters! This is a disgrace to my Ares Palace, a disgrace to humanity!"

"The number of strong monsters is many times that of our human side, and there are even two great monster emperors."

"Remember this: to win this war for survival between humans and monsters, we must unite!"

All the councilors listened attentively to every word Hong said, nodding occasionally in agreement.

People like Atkin, capable of betraying humanity, are a minority among members of parliament.

"As for Yang Wu..."

When Hung mentioned Yang Wu, the group of councilors listened even more attentively.

"Yang Wu killed five king-level monsters and the traitor Atkin, making a great contribution to humanity!" Hong's voice left no room for doubt: "From today onwards, Yang Wu will be the vice master of my Limit Martial Arts Hall and the new fifth chairman of the War God Palace."

After Hong finished speaking, no one present objected.

Everyone knows that with Yang Wu's abilities, he could at least become the third speaker. The fact that he's currently only the fifth speaker is enough to show that he doesn't have much ambition.

……

With the business concluded, the evening banquet officially began.

Hong and Thor couldn't connect with the others, and after chatting with Yang Wu for a while, they left directly.

However, Yang Wu, as the protagonist of this banquet, could not leave easily.

After Hong and Thor left, powerful members of parliament began to come over and chat with Yang Wu from time to time.

Although Yang Wu had previously served as the inspector of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, not many councilors were willing to associate with him because he was only at the War God level.

Now that Yang Wu has become one of the world's three strongest individuals, he is naturally a hot commodity among the councilors.

The banquet lasted for nearly five hours, finally ending around 11 p.m.

After all the councilors had left, Yang Wu boarded the smart fighter jet and returned to his home in Mingyue Community.
