Looking around, Jun Tianyun’s eyes narrowed slightly. With his Eyes of Fortune, he could see many formidable people around him.
‘ Not bad, so the mercenary and shadow world is really vast.’
He also noticed Ashley and Ming Yue. But he naturally ignored them, as he didn’t want his misfortune to affect them. However, his heart still became warm as he realized they were following him and taking care of his needs from afar.
‘ Hmm But who was that lady? She vanished before I could use my Eyes of Fortune on her.’ Jun Tianyun pondered. ‘Not to mention, that mask wasn’t an ordinary mask. It would be difficult for normal people to know what she looks like.’
Jun Tianyun looked around and realized that most people here were from A grade and bellow class guilds. As for S class guilds, there are only a few representatives. However, Jun Tianyun could gauge their strengths as most of them were powerful.
‘ Supernatural mutant powers are indeed difficult to guard against. But what’s the source of those powers? Like internal energy is the source of martial artist’s power, what’s the source of mutant power?’
‘ Is it the soul qi? Or these are special bodies with natural elemental affinity?’
‘ What if the solution to my broken dantian is in the mutant power users? Hmm, Interesting theory.’
‘ Maybe, I should catch a few and experiment with them?’
‘ Well, Now I think…People here might know Yang Chen, yes?’
” You mean the Golden Condor?” A person spoke in a surprised voice. ” Yeah, He was a rising star in the mercenary world. He and his troop Flying Condors were already a B grade guild back then. However, despite being a B grade guild, they could easily surpass an A grade mercenary group.”
” Too bad, Almost a year ago, he suddenly vanished.”
” Vanished, you say?” Jun Tianyun chuckled lightly. ” Then what happened to his Flying Condor group?”
” Without the leader, what could have happened?” The person shrugged. ” At first, there were heavy losses. After that, the guild got dismantled and most members went to other mercenary groups.”
‘ Tsk, So he still has some reputation, eh?’ Jun Tianyun thought inwardly. ” Well, Brother, can you say which group is most powerful right now?”
” Technically, ranking the S grade mercenary groups is pretty hard. Each of them have their own merits.” The person replied. ” For example, Zero is the top assassin network in the world, while Sky Vanguards are the best security team.”
” Golden Dragon Guards are the most powerful force of Xia Nation, Olympus Guild is powerful with its powerful members. Other than mercenary groups, there are also other groups across the world, controlling things from the shadows.”
” This time, the tournament is going to be fun. After all, many new and powerful guilds have come.” The person spoke in an excited voice.
” There is Heaven’s Calamity which solved Sajhad Nation’s Water Ghost Spatial Domain. Other than them, there are also Dark Specters and Great Oni Shrine participating.”
Jun Tianyun was interested when he heard that. ‘ Hmm, so there are quite a lot of people with this level of power, eh? The governments and the organizations did really well as how less the general public knows.’
For the general public, Martial Grandmaster is already like a mythical existence. But here, Martial Grandmaster can only be a mid range fighter.
‘ Not to mention, it’s hard to tell who will win in a fight between B rank mutant and a Mid stage Martial Grandmaster Realm.’
‘ The supernatural power can be unpredictable after all. And Martial Grandmasters are still not immune to those superpowers nor guns.’
Jun Tianyun didn’t fear even anyone. However, there are still various unpredictable factors across this vast world, like strange abilities. powerful ancient treasures, ultra modern super weapons etc.
However, rather than fearing, Jun Tianyun was rather more curious to explore his options. After his powers got sealed, he felt like he should take his time and try different approaches.
‘ Hmm, Now I wonder, What”s Yanrou doing? She must be bawling, right?’
‘ No, I think she must be busy in cursing me.’
‘ Just wait for some time, dear…’

Back in Xia Nation, it was a headline on every new channel.
” Sky Fire Group’s previous chairman has walked out. And now, the new owner of this national behemoth is…Miss Zi Yanrou.”
” Unlike previous chairmen, Chairman Yanrou has agreed to a press announcement.”
” A monumental day for the investors of the Xia Nation’s stock market. The announcement of Lady Yanrou shall determine the fate.”
” A female sitting on top of such a giant throne, it’s a slap for all those lazy online yapping misogynists. With this, females have shown why they are superior.”
The photographers started to snap photos as the place filled with flashes. Soon enough, a woman wearing sunglasses with a business suit, soon appeared on the red carpet, walking towards the stage.
The strikingly beautiful feature looked more noble and sophisticated in that business suit, making the males drool.
” Damn, Miss Yanrou is so hot!”
” I can’t stop looking at her. Not to mention, she looks so young too.”
” What’s her secret identity? How did she manage to get that post like that?”
” Not to mention, look at her secretary. She is also a hottie.”
” Ugh, Now it’s my dream to work for Sky Fire Group.”
Zi Yanrou walked in front and Qing Ying followed her behind, As they took the stage, Zi Yanrou nodded and took off her sunglasses, looking at the crowd with a calm gaze.
Her eyes were enough to make quite a lot of gasp. Such mesmerizing eyes could definitely hook someone’s soul.
” I am glad that so many of you have come today. As you know, I am Zi Yanrou, the new chairman of Sky Fire Group.” Zi Yanrou spoke with a mild smile.
” I am sure the media is enough to dig most of the things about me. Therefore, I shall not indulge in personal matters.”
” For now, I am the chairman of Sky Fire Group. The company is doing great for now, However…”
Zi Yanrou steeled her voice and looked at the cameras. ” I am going to step up the game.”
“For years, Sky Fire Group has remained as a hidden company. But now, We are going to step into the public sector.”
” So, I believe the public should prepared to get surprised by the new avatar of Sky Fire Group.”
” And the first product is obviously made by our subsidiary company, Cloud Corporation.” Zi Yanrou clapped at Bai Youqing, who was sitting on the stage.
” Soon enough, The Cloud Corporation shall launch our second cutting edge smartphone with another powerful device. So stay tuned.”
” I have made clear our future vision. And, I hope everyone shall support me for a smooth sailing.”
” Now, clarifying some things…” Zi Yanrou chuckled. ” No, the previous chairman was not incompetent or lazy, and the company didn’t fire him.”
” Do you think a grasshopper can push back a carriage? It’s the same as firing him from the company.”
” He just left because…Let’s say he wanted to see new things in the world.”
” As for me, calling me competent and a role model for females?” Zi Yanrou waved her hands.
” I have become chairman because he wished it. Without any connections, it’s impossible to be here.”
” And I am definitely not hardworking. I would rather spend my days lazying at home rather than stressing for a company.”
” Maybe a lot of you girls thinking of being in power and earning a lot of money…But believe me, you also need to work that much and be willing the make necessary sacrifices.”
” So, if someone asks me…” Zi Yanrou chuckled. ” I would pick remaining home at home with a loving spouse.”
” And before anyone twists my sentence into saying that I am asking women to go back to the kitchen, I would like to add that…The relationship is a two way road.”
” You give something and you take something. Without proper communication, even paradise would feel like hell for you.”
” So ladies, don’t listen to weirdos on the internet and pick what you feel is better for you.”
The crowd remained silent for a moment before exploding into murmurs.
