Chapter 904: Chapter 778: Aftermath_5

For example, even Qian Lin, the Saint, joined the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce as a Guest Elder, casting aside the burden of family obligations.

Now, Lady Long has set her sights on a similar goal.

Anyway, the rebuilding of the Long Family and such are matters for later; firstly, they need to establish a secure foothold. If there’s a chance to acquire some fixed assets, that would actually be quite good…

With the emergence of the Suns, an up-and-coming family led by a new Saint, it’s foreseeable that there will be a significant period of ascension.

Some other independent Catastrophe Level powerhouses might come to try their luck…

…

“Yin’er, why have you come?”

Bai Ling, who was about to leave Starshine to return to the State Capital, saw Long Yin’er and Lady Long descending from the sky in the Floating City, and appeared somewhat surprised.

She herself was an idol singer from Baixing State and had some acquaintance with Long Yin’er.

“Sister Bai Ling, it’s just that life at the State Capital is tough, so I came here to try my luck,” Long Yin’er said with a smile on her pretty face.

If Bai Ling really is willing to lend a hand, then returning to the State Capital wouldn’t really matter.

Just as how Bai Ling appreciated Tao Yu without any intention of meddling, personal relationships are personal, and family is family.

Bai Ling, who was always seen as playing around outside, understood this distinction clearly and simply nodded when she heard Long Yin’er say this.

“That’s good, the Suns have a good reputation and are currently in a period of rise, it’s a great fit for your support. However, organizing concerts can be a bit of a hassle; having them occasionally in Starshine is possible, but it’s not suitable to do them frequently.”

Concerts by idol singers like them need a baseline number of high-spending audience members, which Starshine obviously lacks.

However, if the concerts are infrequent, fans from the State Capital might cross the grey mist to attend, which could incidentally boost tourism consumption in Starshine.

“That’s what I was thinking…”

Regardless, Lady Long was a standard Catastrophe Level powerhouse. After being healed with the infusion of Life Energy, her strength was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, with the openly known backing of Klein, after chatting casually with Bai Ling, someone from the Suns immediately came over to greet them.

“You all go ahead, I’ll be heading back. I hope we’ll have an opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

Seeing that someone from the Suns had arrived, Bai Ling nodded and said goodbye to Long Yin’er.

After which, Long Yin’er turned to Treya who was coming forward and said,

“Thank you for your trouble.”

“Not at all, it’s our neglect that you’re only just arriving now. We’ve had quite a few guests lately, and we hope you’ll forgive us if there has been any lack of courtesy,” said Treya, bowing slightly.

“Not at all, it’s rather presumptuous of us to trouble you by coming now. We’ve heard about the grand wedding of the Suns and prepared a modest gift, please do not disdain it.”

Originally, there had been no intent to come over, so this could be seen as making up for it by giving a small contribution.

Then, Lady Long gently added,

“We have some personal requests on this visit.”

Normally, there are other formalities, but considering the Suns are already really busy, being straightforward keeps from taking up more of their time as if merely attending the wedding and giving a gift.

Being direct could save everyone some trouble.

Treya paused upon hearing this, but thankfully, several other Catastrophe Level personages had already come before, so she had some experience with such scenarios.

“Right now, the great Guanghui is discussing with several gentlemen. However, he did say that if other powerhouses also had matters they wished to discuss, they are welcome to join in. If it’s convenient for you…”

Upon hearing this, Lady Long inwardly thought ‘as expected’!

With the Suns spiraling towards the heavens, about to take off, there’s certainly no shortage of opportunists.

There is no lack of Catastrophe Level powerhouses without their own fixed properties…

Perhaps, there’s going to be some competition.

“I naturally have no objections; our goals are probably similar.”

Afterward, Long Yin’er and Lady Long followed Treya towards the drawing-room.

On the way there, Treya had already used communication to report, so upon arriving, she politely knocked on the door.

“Is it Lady Long and Miss Long? Come on in.”

Accompanied by the voice of Sun Guanghui, the drawing room’s door opened, revealing the situation inside.

At this point, Sun Guanghui sat alone on the host’s seat, while two rows of armchairs below were already occupied by four people – three men and one woman. Lady Long took one glance and knew what she was dealing with in her heart.

They are wild Catastrophe Level beings who roam Baixing State with no particular allegiance.

Put nicely, they are unrestrained Hermits…

“Oh my, isn’t this Lady Long and Miss Long? Last time, Mr. Klein really helped you strike back in style, heh heh~”

A bald, red-nosed old man, who appeared to be in a drunken stupor, leered at the two new arrivals with a grinning face and eyes that seemed somewhat sleazy.

Realistically, even the worst-off Catastrophe Level beings could at least keep themselves presentable; this man’s appearance clearly showed his utter disregard for his exterior.

Any Catastrophe Level being, however down and out, would have people fawning all over them.

Now, even if they came to seek refuge with the Suns, Sun Guanghui, the Provisional Family Head, would still have to welcome them with respect due to protocol.

However, the resources and benefits are fixed, and for now, those seated here are potential competitors.

His current interjection served as a reminder that these two have a master and a backing, and later joining the Suns would likely mean their loyalty wouldn’t be single-hearted.

Otherwise, with Long Yin’er’s Demon Dragon bloodline, if she were truly desperate, marrying into the Sun family wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Even if she later bore many children, the Sun family might well consider changing one of their surnames to Long.

The drunken old man, with his strength and experience, should be the strongest competitor here, yet upon seeing these two beautiful women, he knew his own weakness.

There are some things he simply cannot do!

He hoped the Sun family would take into account the mysterious benefactor, Klein.

But hardly had he spoken when Sun Guanghui nodded his head.

“Mm, Mr. Klein has already notified me. Welcome both of you to join the Sun family. Later, you two will help manage some of the industries previously owned by the Xing Family. The management share bestowed by Saint Ming River will also be directly entrusted to you…”

The man in the armchair, at this moment, dearly wished he could smack his own mouth.

Damned fate, why such a loose tongue!

Couldn’t he have waited to speak?!

It turns out this mysterious Mr. Klein already knows people from the Sun family!

Isn’t he afraid of dragging his trouble onto them as well?

However, it didn’t take long for the drunken man to figure out the reason.

To help manage Saint Ming River’s industries? Could this Klein also be associated with him…

If so, then that trouble he caused in the State Capital is really not a problem at all!

Meanwhile, Long Yin’er and Lady Long were also somewhat stunned at this turn of events.

The moment the drunken man spoke out, Lady Long sensed trouble and was contemplating how to rectify the situation.

But where was the need to salvage anything? Klein had already smoothed out all subsequent issues!

No wonder he agreed to her proposal; everything had already been arranged in advance.

And just like the drunken man had figured, Lady Long quickly surmised that Klein might be connected to Saint Ming River, and didn’t rule out the possibility of being another disciple or junior of some sort.

Previously, they sought support out of desperation, even taking all sorts of actions, but now it seems that support was much stronger than they had imagined.

They don’t even need to show their faces; a mere greeting from afar can solve problems.

Indeed, making choices is very important…
