LOL: Let me touch your steel

"However, he said that the missionary work would have to wait until after tonight. Tonight he had to prepare a high-class banquet for Mrs. Go...Gorrask."

Renata's banquet?

Zhang Xu frowned at first, but soon relaxed again.

Not interested...

It would be more interesting to spend this time with Gana and find a few more loyal believers.

"Let's go and find the next faithful believer."

"Ah? Are you still looking? Haven't you already found one?"

"How can one be enough? Are you expecting him to preach for you alone?"

"Okay...okay."

......

------

The city of Zaun, without the haze and alchemical poison gas, seemed to have been reborn. Although there was still a burnt smell in the air from factory burning, the air in Zaun was much fresher than the previous poisonous gas.

The sky was no longer covered with haze, and stars appeared above the canyon for the first time in a long time.

Weiguang Restaurant.

The upper-class banquet hall under Golask Industries was filled with famous figures in Zaun City. Ordinary wealthy people were not even qualified to enter here. Only celebrities recognized by Renata had the opportunity to attend tonight's banquet.

In order to show her respect for the banquet, Renata even came to the main entrance of the banquet hall to greet everyone in person.

Of course, ordinary upper-class people were not qualified to be personally greeted by Renata. Only the top alchemy barons in Zaun were qualified to be greeted by Lady Golask.

"Mrs. Golask, how are you?"

Baron Middenstock subconsciously glanced at the man in black robe standing next to him, and his heart was at ease. A decent smile appeared on his face, and he greeted Renata with a bit of condescension.

Looking at the disgusting fat man in front of her, Renata drew a sarcastic arc with a half-smile:

"It's Baron Middenstock. It's been a long time since we last met."

"How can it be that we haven't seen each other for a long time? We met not long ago. At that time, Mrs. Golask was very aggressive and wanted me to give up the market. I still remember it."

"It seems that Lady Golasque is forgetful!"

The two were the key figures in this banquet, and their quarrel at this moment instantly made them the focus of the entire banquet hall.

The alchemy barons who had already arrived cast their eyes over, with an expression of anticipation for a good show on their faces.

"I thought Baron Middenstock's stomach was as big as yours, but I didn't expect he would remember such a small thing."

Renata smiled slightly, but her words were as sharp as ever.

Immediately afterwards, Renata did not give Middenstock a chance to speak again. Her eyes passed over the fat body and fell on Zeratul in a black robe.

Zelas's strength far exceeded the imagination of everyone present. Renata naturally couldn't see his true strength, so she could only speak a little to test him:

"Is this Baron Middenstock's friend? He looks quite unfamiliar."

Hearing this, Zeratul slowly raised his head, but his high collar still covered most of his face.

Zerath stared coldly at Renata in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Childish idiot.

Everyone in this banquet hall is a childish fool.

The humble mortals, self-righteously playing tricks, claiming to be celebrities in society, do not know that in the eyes of those who truly control power, these behaviors are nothing more than clowns.

Zerath ignored Renata's question and walked past her and went straight into the banquet hall.

And a look of deep astonishment also emerged on Renata's face.

Move...can't move!

Who is this guy...

Just one glance could actually make me tremble with fear?

Renata took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable panic and throbbing in her heart, forced out a smile again, and strode into the banquet hall.

But the haze in Renata's heart did not dispel at all.

Chapter 136 Here I come!

Renata glanced at Zeratul sitting in the corner without leaving a trace. Although he did not make any extra movements and sat there quietly, Renata's heart was still filled with alarm.

Before the banquet officially started, Renata took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and gestured to Mei Wu beside her.

Mei Wu, who was on standby at all times, understood immediately.

Renata had made a lot of preparations for tonight's banquet. As long as she gave the order, countless thugs with alchemical weapons would rush in. She even specially invited the weird doctor who walked out of Oswald Asylum. Many people here needed his careful treatment...

When she thought of her own arrangements, Renata felt a little relieved and nodded to the host on the stage.

"Welcome all barons and friends to the banquet hosted by Madam Golask tonight. Let us welcome Madam Golask with applause!"

As the loudspeaker amplified the sound and filled the entire venue, applause broke out from the audience.

Interestingly, most of the applause was concentrated near the center of the venue, while there were only sparse applause in the corners at the edges of the venue.

The entire venue seemed to have been divided into two factions.

One faction had long since sided with Renata and became her loyal partner, while the other faction, led by Baron Middenstock, still wanted to snatch back the factory business and the economic lifeline of Zaun from Renata.

Renata had a full view of the situation below the stage. She did not show any emotion on her face. She walked straight onto the stage, picked up the microphone and said with a smile:

"Everyone, first of all, I want to clarify that the explosion in the factory under Golask Industries today was not caused by our own mistakes, but by someone else!"

Just one sentence caused a huge uproar in the audience.

"Mrs. Golask, are you serious?"

"This is no small matter. What evidence does Mrs. Golask have?"

"Mrs. Golask, please tell me who did this! How dare they ruin our business? Tell me, and I will make sure this person disappears completely!"

Seeing that the alchemy barons who supported her were already angrily denouncing someone, Renata curled the corners of her mouth slightly. She didn't say anything, but her eyes fell on Baron Middenstock.

Following Renata's gaze, the expressions of the alchemy barons suddenly became subtle.

It is true that they support Renata, but that does not mean that they do not have their own thinking ability.

The current situation is obviously a fight between the two of them.

For those alchemy barons who support Renata, with their resources and status, no matter who wins the fight between the two, their interests will not fluctuate much.

But if they rashly choose sides, once one side wins, what awaits them will be endless liquidation.

"Lord Middenstock, don't you have anything to say?"

Middenstock sat in his seat with a playful look on his face, looking calm and composed.

Renata’s map of Yan State is a bit short!

He thought Renata would hold it in for a while, but he didn't expect her to turn her attention to him right at the beginning of the banquet.

"Oh? Could it be that Mrs. Golask thinks that I sent someone to do this?"

"Mrs. Golask, there should be evidence for everything. This joke is not funny."

Middenstock looked fearless, for he knew that with this powerful mysterious man accompanying him tonight, he was already invincible.

All of Renata's actions now are nothing more than a last-ditch struggle.

"Since Madam Golask believes that I sent someone to do this, I might as well tell you today that from now on, there will only be one person in charge of Zaun, and that person is me!"

"The Middenstock family will become the sole rulers of Zaun! And you, either surrender or die with this foolish woman!"

Middenstock had wanted to restrain his excitement and joy, but Renata and her Gorsk Industries had suppressed him for so long that he could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart and released it without reservation.

"Middenstock, do you know what you are talking about?"

"You are crazy!"

"Mrs. Golask, Middenstock's attitude is very clear. My suggestion is to capture him immediately!"

The entire venue suddenly became chaotic and noisy.

But the next moment, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone seemed to be strangled by some invisible force, unable to say anything. They could only watch Middenstock stand up from his seat, smiling triumphantly.

Finally, Zeratul slowly stood up from his seat and slowly raised his head to face Middenstock's slightly flattering eyes.

That hideous face of arcane energy instantly caught everyone's attention.

Seeing this, Renata felt something was wrong and immediately shouted at Mei Wu, "Let them all come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of arcane energy was instantly released from Xerath's hand and hit the platform accurately!

Renata, being only a mortal herself, had no time to dodge and was instantly blasted to pieces by the arcane energy.

Lady Golask, who was famous in Zaun for her kindness and was even about to become the next Alchemy Baron, died at the hands of Xerath.

It was not until this time that Mei Wu rushed out with the thugs hired by Renata.

Xerath had long been fed up with these noisy idiots, so without any need to think, he just raised his hand and released two arcane shock waves.

The entire venue was instantly shrouded in arcane energy that was a mixture of ascension energy and dark energy.

......

In a corner of Zaan City, Zhang Xu, who was helping Janna recruit the first batch of believers, suddenly raised his head.

Janna followed suit, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

"There is a very obvious ascended energy in the center of the city! Are the Shurima Ascendants coming?"

不 ...

Zhang Xu shook his head subconsciously. The fluctuation of energy and the faint resonance in his body...

It's dark energy!

The combination of Ascension energy and dark energy...

Xerath?
