Chapter 348: Chapter 23 Lancelot Star People_2 Chapter 348: Chapter 23 Lancelot Star People_2 “`
At the banquet table on Lancelot Star, people from Black Shield Group approached to offer a toast, showing great respect and courtesy.
The mechanical technology of Lancelot Star was exceptionally advanced, and Black Shield Group had always wanted to surpass Stark Group, so they sought to establish this connection.
The president of Black Shield Group personally came here to offer a toast and said to the No.
2 seed player from Lancelot Star, “In this Transcendent competition, Robert’s strength should be able to secure first place.”
“The outside world considers that barbarian the No.
1 seed,” said a middle-aged man leading Lancelot Star, his metallic adornments on his head screaming lavishness and highlighting his status.
“Just brute strength,” remarked the president of Black Shield Group.
“The contestant you have selected this time isn’t bad either,” said the middle-aged man from Lancelot Star.
His face was long, conveying a sinister aspect and authority, differing subtly from the people of Byron Star.
Black Shield Group’s contestant had also become one of the top ten seeded players, ranked tenth.
“We don’t set our sights too high, as long as we can defeat the representative from Stark Group,” the president of Black Shield Group said with a smile.
This was his way of being ‘modest,’ for they were thoroughly prepared for this Transcendent competition and were undoubtedly stronger than Stark Group.
Their goal was the top ten, as this would greatly benefit Black Shield Group’s publicity.

After all, Black Shield Group was not as well-known as Stark Group.
“Stark Group,” the Lancelot middle-aged man said with a furrowed brow.
Stark Group’s products were top-notch, the best on Byron Star, but the Stark Group’s attitude was very arrogant, having never paid their respects to them.
Compared to Stark Group, Black Shield Group was much more obedient and knew how to serve them well.
The gaze of Lancelot Star’s middle-aged man shifted to where Stark Group was situated.
“Is that the young master from Stark Group?” the middle-aged man asked.
“Yes,” nodded the president of Black Shield Group, “The person next to him is Stark Group’s external relations officer, and the competitor, Xu Mo.”
“That woman looks familiar, who is she?” the middle-aged man noticed Ye Qingdie.
“She’s the woman promoted by Stark Group.
They managed to secure the position of promotional ambassador for this Transcendent competition,” the president of Black Shield Group responded.
“Promotional ambassador?” The middle-aged man from Lancelot thought to himself that’s why she looked familiar, as he had seen her poster before; she was beautiful, and he was somewhat interested.
“Go ask Stark Group if they mind sending their spokesperson over to join me for a few drinks,” the Lancelot middle-aged man said to someone beside him.
Immediately, an intrigued expression flashed across the Black Shield Group president’s eyes.
He understood the Lancelot people quite well; these folks were extremely proud at heart, considering themselves superior.
They enjoyed noble treatment on Byron Star, and deep down, they looked down on the human inhabitants of Byron Star.
Moreover, to the Lancelot people, women held little status.
Not to mention the people of Byron Star, they even referred to those from Titan Star as barbarians.
Furthermore, the Lancelot people had some perverse ‘preferences;’ they took pleasure in mistreating others, looking down from above, relishing the joy of conquest.
The middle-aged man certainly wasn’t lacking in women’s company; he had sent plenty away.
Aside from his interest in women, another reason for his request was to see Stark Group’s response, whether they were willing to send someone over.
And this was precisely his intended effect, which is why he deliberately mentioned Stark Group earlier; he knew they had some dissatisfaction with Stark Group.
“Yes, sir,” said an attendant standing beside the Lancelot middle-aged man.
He stood up and walked towards Stark Group’s seating area.
Moments later, they reached there.
Stek Hao and Xu Mo saw the newcomers.
They had previously noticed that this man was from the Lancelot Star table and wondered what his business was here.
The attendant looked at Ye Qingdie and then extended his hand, saying, “Our master would like this lady to come over for a few drinks.”
Ye Qingdie was startled, and both Stek Hao and Xu Mo frowned.
Then Xu Mo’s complexion changed, growing unpleasant.
Was this suggesting that Ye Qingdie come over to accompany them in drinking?
Anger flickered across Ye Qingdie’s face; this was an insult.
ƝᴑνǤօ.сο
Stek Hao had always been very arrogant and domineering, but he also knew how to act within limits, never going too far.
“`
But today, he witnessed the arrogance of the Lancelot Star People.
He had heard of Lancelot Star People’s arrogance before, but this alien race is troublesome, and also considered guests of the Federation, but he had not expected one day their arrogance would be directed at him.
After a glance at Xu Mo, Stark Hao noticed that Xu Mo’s complexion had already turned very unsightly.
In the upper echelons, such things are not unusual; as image spokespersons, many play the role of a mere figurehead, and behind the scenes, there can be some unclean dealings, but that other people would, does not mean the Stark Group would engage in such practices, especially considering that Ye Qingdie was invited to be the spokesperson because of her relationship with Xu Mo.
The actions of the Lancelot Star’s people were not aimed at Ye Qingdie, but more at the Stek Group, indeed looking down from a great height.
The CEO of the Black Shield Group was over there, seemingly looking this way.
It seems he might also be involved in this matter.
“If your gentlemen would like a drink, you may come over and have one,” Stark Hao said somewhat discourteously.
The attendant furrowed his brow, glanced at Stark Hao, then turned and went back to his seat, whispering something to the middle-aged man.
Xu Mo noticed the middle-aged man’s expression turning particularly somber; his features, already marked by an ominous air, now presented a very sinister feeling as he stared in Xu Mo’s direction.
He would go there for a drink?
What an honor!
The Stek Group, this is completely refusing to give face.
He just wanted one woman, and they wouldn’t even grant that, and had the audacity to invite him over.
However, this was a banquet, and he would not make things too ugly.
With a somewhat sinister voice, he said, “If they encounter their representative in the contest…”
As he spoke, a malicious look flickered in his sinister eyes.
Robert and the contestants from Black Shield Group understood the implication, casting a glance in Xu Mo’s direction.
In the Transcendent Contest, accidents were bound to happen, and they all signed contracts knowing that if they got eliminated, the ground would split open to whisk people away, but what if they met with an accident before they could hit the ground?
Previously in the contest, Robert had injured quite a few with his own hands.
The CEO of Black Shield Group flashed a faint smile and said, “Later, I will send a few men to accompany the gentleman for a ‘drink’.”
The middle-aged man from Lancelot Star picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp, his expression still ugly, seemingly nursing a grudge.
His dignity had been trampled upon.
Their conversation did not go unnoticed by Xu Mo, who had been keeping a stony face, looking very displeased.
Having lived twice as a human, Xu Mo naturally understood what “keeping company for a drink” implied.
These words were already a humiliation, extremely disrespectful.
The rejected Lancelot Star People, rather thinking they were the ones being disrespected, planned to deal with him in the Transcendent Contest.
“I have always heard that the Lancelot Star People are arrogant and dismissive of others.
I hadn’t encountered them before, but today I have seen it for myself,” Stek Hao began.
“They seem to want to target you in the contest; you need to be careful, and it’s best if you don’t run into them.”
Both representatives from Lancelot Star and the Black Shield Group, one ranked as the second seed and the other as the tenth seed, were both very dangerous, especially the contestant from Lancelot Star, equipped with sharp mechanical technology, extremely cold-blooded, and had already injured several people, some even seriously.
If Xu Mo encountered them, it would be extremely dangerous.
The friction between the Lancelot Star People and the Stek Group did not attract the attention of others; the banquet continued warmly, and only a few people noticed the situation here, but they did not care.
However, there might be turbulence on the contest field.
Before the banquet was over, Stark Hao and Xu Mo left early, as Xu Mo needed to prepare for the upcoming Transcendent Contest.
