He turned his head, looked at King Nathan, and a smile of interest appeared on his lips.

"So, you not only sent invitations to these scheming guys, but you also came to see me."

"Are you looking for someone of sufficient stature, someone who can keep things in check, to come to the island and act as an international referee for you?"

"Or rather... to act as a free super security guard, preventing those foreigners from overturning the table during your handover ceremony?"

King Nathan did not deny it; she nodded quite frankly.

"You could say that."

"The will of the divine tree must be obeyed, and the birth of the new king must be absolutely fair."

I need someone no power would dare to easily provoke, someone who can oversee the entire process.

She looked at Zhang Tianyi, her tone extremely sincere:

"Master Tian Shu, the intimidation you just displayed is exactly what I need."

"As long as you are willing to come to the island as a special invited witness, Nathan Island is willing to fully open all areas outside the sacred tree to you."

Zhang Tianyi did not respond immediately.

He tapped his fingers absentmindedly on the table.

I went over the matter in my mind.

Go to a deserted island full of lunatics, wanted criminals, and psychopaths, and watch a bunch of people fight to the death over a tree branch.

Not only can you watch free, no-holds-barred brawls, but you can also try to find that old guy named Ruan Feng.

I have to say, Qu Tong's progress is really slow!

Incidentally, it will also cause some trouble for those foreign forces that are trying to cause trouble on the island.

This deal doesn't sound boring at all.

And most importantly, there are those three old Japanese guys; this time, all we need to do is fish...

"A chaotic island brawl completely devoid of secular law, where everything is decided by fists..."

Zhang Tianyi stopped tapping his fingers on the table.

He stroked his chin, a glint of something only Zhang Chulan could understand flashing in his eyes—a light that seemed to crave more drama.

"alright."

Zhang Tianyi stood up lazily and tugged at his slightly wrinkled coat.

"I've been eating these kinds of fancy meals every day in Beijing for the past few days, and I'm getting a little tired of it."

He looked at King Nathan and grinned.

"I'll take on this island summer camp!!"

Chapter 238 Xu Si, Short-Staffed, and Deadly Flames in the Night

The banquet finally came to a close in a subtly awkward atmosphere.

Those blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, whether they were harboring resentment or planning to make a big splash at the negotiating table tomorrow, all put aside their thoughts at this moment.

Guided by security personnel, they checked into the luxury suite on the top floor of the hotel in an orderly manner.

After all, the real highlight is tomorrow's formal talks.

Tonight's event was at most a meeting to get to know each other.

The lights in the lobby dimmed by half, and the cleaning staff began pushing carts to clean up the mess of cups and plates scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Tianyi slung the stylish jacket over his shoulder, let out a long yawn, and turned to leave.

"Hey! Master! You're leaving already?"

Zhang Chulan quickly looked up from the pile of empty plates, wiped the grease from his mouth, and followed along for a couple of steps.

"You're leaving me and Bao'er here in the middle of the night?"

"Nonsense, Fatty Zhao is paying you guys. If you don't work the night shift here, do you expect me to stay here and be the doorman for these foreigners?"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand confidently, without even stopping.

"Keep an eye on tomorrow's meeting yourselves. Call me if anything comes up. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep; this suit is really choking me."

After saying that, Zhang Tianyi strolled out the door, his back view looking incredibly dashing.

Zhang Chulan stood there, watching his advisor disappear around the corner of the corridor, and sighed helplessly.

He glanced back.

Feng Baobao is currently squatting next to the dessert table.

She held a large takeout box in her hand and skillfully shoveled the remaining untouched cakes and fruit platter into the box.

"Sister Bao'er, stop pretending. We're going to have to spend the whole night in the hallway tonight."

Zhang Chulan rubbed his aching lower back and muttered resignedly.

In the rest area not far away.

Xu Si, the head of the North China region, was leaning back on the sofa with a freshly lit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He looked at Feng Baobao, who was busy packing cakes, and then at Zhang Chulan, who was standing beside her sighing.

Xu Si tapped the sofa armrest twice with a hint of irritation in his fingers, which were holding a cigarette.

The North China region has been extremely busy lately.

Because Beijing is a hotbed of all sorts of strange and unsavory characters, the pressure to maintain stability is rising sharply.

But it just so happens at this critical juncture.

His best and most reliable trump card—Feng Baobao—was "borrowed" by Zhang Tianyi.

It's called a loan, but it's really no different from poaching someone from the wall.

Ever since she started following that living ancestor of the Celestial Master's Mansion, this girl has been living a life of luxury, traveling the world to see all sorts of amazing things.

She was never allowed to do any of the dirty or tiring work in the company, such as catching fugitives or clearing out hidden agents.

"Ugh……"

Xu Si exhaled a long puff of smoke, which slowly dissipated in the dim light.

Actually, if anyone else had dared to lend people like that, Xu Si would have already led his men to their door, banged on the table, and demanded their return.

But would he dare to go to Zhang Tianyi?

Even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to speak up.

However, as Xu Si leaned back on the sofa and quietly watched Feng Baobao carefully stuff the packed box into her backpack, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

As the person who has been taking care of the baby from the very beginning.

Xu Si knew exactly what was going on.

In the past, Feng Baobao was a heartless cleaner at the company.

They don't cry out in pain when they're injured, and they don't know how to avoid danger. They always look dazed and stupid, and are used as tools by others.

But now?

This girl certainly lives a carefree and unrestrained life.

That unique sense of freedom and unrestraint was something Xu Si couldn't teach no matter how much effort he put into it before.

"With that deity by my side, at least no one will dare to use her as a tool anymore."

Xu Si stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and muttered a curse under his breath:

"Damn it, isn't this like giving away a daughter for nothing?"

He shook his head, trying to shake off those emotional thoughts.

He pulled out a thick stack of files from his briefcase.

Since we can't rely on the baby here, the North China region needs to quickly find a new temporary worker to fill the vacancy.

By the dim light, Xu Si flipped through the resumes in his hand, his brows furrowing again.

"What kind of deformed fruits are these..."

"This guy who practices Iron Palm has a criminal record and a terrible temper."

"This one is poisonous, and doesn't look very bright..."

Xu Si was so worried that he kept pulling his hair out, and he started to seriously do the work of an HR person.

……

the other side.

Zhang Tianyi drove the Bugatti out of the hotel's underground parking garage.

The traffic on Beijing's Third Ring Road was surprisingly smooth late at night.

Without the daytime traffic jams, the black supercar, like a lurking beast, slowly drove along under the alternating illumination of the streetlights.

A piece of soothing light music was playing in the car.

Zhang Tianyi held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the edge of the car window, enjoying the pleasant night breeze.

He preferred the solitude of driving alone to the banquet hall, where the atmosphere was full of scheming and probing.

Quiet, no need to think.

I just got on the elevated ring road leading to Xishan Manor.

"Ding dong."

The car screen lit up, and a crisp video call notification tone sounded.

Zhang Tianyi glanced at it from the side.

[Eldest disciple].

He smiled knowingly and pressed the answer button on the steering wheel.
