Chapter 734: 734 Divine Sword is alive, Princess Yongning is not dead [2 more updates]
“…”
The entire venue of the press conference fell into a dead silence.
The other senior executives of the World Bank looked at each other in dismay, their eyes wide open, still unaware of what had happened, nor did they know about the Global Forum incident.
But they precisely captured the large number “five billion,” and cold sweat instantly trickled down their backs.
The World Bank controls the financial transactions of the Global Center, and every credit and debit is recorded.
So, the only person who could utilize such a large sum without their knowledge is their boss, the President of the World Bank.
The Global reporter responsible for asking questions was also dumbfounded, standing there in shock, so much so that the microphone in his hand dropped with a “clang” without him realizing it.
Christine looked down at him indifferently and said, “It seems you have an objection?”
“No—no, no, no objections!” The back of the Global reporter was soaked in cold sweat instantly, “Miss Christine, your decisions are always the best. How dare I have an opinion about you?”
Christine ignored him, took the coat from the young deacon’s hand, and left directly.
However, the incident didn’t cool down with her departure; instead, it ushered in a new wave of climax.
[Oh my! It’s really the President of the World Bank who threw in five billion]
[Miss Christine has an excellent eye for investnt, and whichever company she invests in can always achieve significant profits. Could it be that this ti…]
[Her foresight is too good! I’ve heard that just after “Treasures of The Divine Land” started filming, Miss Christine decisively purchased its global broadcasting rights and has now made a huge profit.]
[Finished, if I had known Miss Christine would bet on Rong Si, I would have invested accordingly.]
[What to do, the betting pool is already locked, it can’t be changed!]
[Who says the President of the World Bank can’t make mistakes? She must have misjudged this ti!]
Countless people regretted not investing and were quarreling intensely.
…
Northern Lands, Romanov Family.
“Ms. Rong Si is truly remarkable.” Upon seeing Ye Wanlan again, i En was already convinced, “Not only does she possess the Penglai Heart thod, but she also earns the favor of the President of the World Bank. I’m increasingly curious about Ms. Rong Si’s true identity.”
Ye Wanlan remained unmoved: “I’m just one among the multitude of common people.”
“Naturally, we all are among the common people.” i En poured a cup of tea, smiling, “Tomorrow we will go to the outer field for the competition. While the seed participants won’t compete, they will accompany us, and then I want to see Ms. Rong Si’s capabilities.”
Ye Wanlan drained the cup in one go: “Certainly.”
She set the teacup down, and in the next mont, vanished from the spot.
i En’s pupils contracted sharply. She jumped up at once to search for the girl’s figure, unable to capture any of her aura.
Such formidable Art and thod!
i En slowly exhaled, a hint of fear rising in her heart.
No wonder that centuries ago, the Romanov Family never set foot into Shenzhou.
With Mount Penglai and the Beiming Sect present, any Spirit Communication would be like showing off carpentry skills before a master carpenter.
i En could not even imagine the elegance of the forr Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng and Beiming Sect Master Xing Yun, who were like Immortal beings.
At this mont, a maid ca to report: “Miss, Si Minghe has arrived.”
i En collected the shock in her eyes, regaining her composure: “Let her co in.”
“Lady i’en, your lilight has been stolen by a branch descendant of the Rong Family.” Si Minghe hinted, “I didn’t expect that the President of the World Bank placed a bet on Rong Si. Does she think that Rong Si can win first place in this Spirit Summoning Battle?”
“Si Minghe.” i En slowly turned her head, “Your skills in sowing discord are not yet well-practiced.”
Si Minghe’s gaze deepened, pretending to be innocent: “Lady i’en, what do you an by this?”
“Saying such things in front of is nothing more than wanting to use my hand to get rid of Rong Si for you.” i En played with the gem ring on her middle finger, “But I have no conflict of interest with her. No matter what you say, it’s useless.”
Struck by the truth, Si Minghe took a deep breath, still forcing a smile: “Could it be that Lady i’en has no interest in the Infinite Ruler? I—”
“Interest or not, it still depends on strength.” i En remained unmoved, “Even if I forcibly take sothing that isn’t mine, what good is it?”
Her participation in this Spirit Summoning Battle surprised the whole Romanov Family, including Clan Leader Sulaya Romanov and the Elders Council.
She was not rely there for the Infinite Ruler, but to enhance her own strength.
i En had been in a bottleneck for a long ti without progress, and she had a premonition that Rong Si would be the one to help her break through.
Now, she had obtained the Penglai Heart thod. With this Heart thod, she could easily reduce the backlash she suffered.
In i En’s mind, Rong Si was her benefactor.
And she never cared about status; anyone she acknowledged was her friend, regardless of their rank.
So far, the Si Family is the enemy of Rong Si.
Therefore, they are also her enemies.
“Do you think, Si Minghe, that having obtained the Infinite Ruler, you could use it?” i En raised a smile, unmasking her sarcasm, “That’s the Magic Artifact of the Beiming Sect Master. Are you worthy?!”
“Lady i’en is truly indifferent to fa and fortune.” Si Minghe could no longer maintain her smile.
But she held onto her last shred of reasoning, refraining from tearing the facade, and stood up: “I have other matters today, so I won’t stay.”
i En didn’t even lift her eyelids: “I won’t see you off.”
Si Minghe left in a huff, which puzzled Sulaya as they bumped into each other.
But Sulaya didn’t have anyone stop Si Minghe and instead sat opposite i En.
i En’s expression remained lazily indifferent: “Clan Leader.”
“i En,” Sulaya didn’t mind her attitude, asking, “Have you had contact with that Rong Si?”
“Yes, we’ve talked a couple of tis.” i En pondered for a mont before speaking, “I can’t see through her.”
“I fear she is not a branch descendant of the Rong Family.” Sulaya mused, “If even you cannot see through her, then we must proceed with utmost caution.”
i En smiled casually: “I understand, Clan Leader.”
She was also curious about what Rong Si’s true identity was.
“i En, you are the hope and pillar of the Romanov Family.” Sulaya’s expression suddenly turned serious, “Shenzhou suffered trauma three hundred years ago, and the Six Great Sects perished. In the future, similar calamities could befall us, but you absolutely must not co to harm.”
i En’s gaze darkened.
What the Rong Family could foresee, the Romanov Family could naturally also see.
The arrival of the second Battle of Ten Thousand Armies was inevitable.
Even if the Six Great Sects and Four Directions Nobility failed to stop it in the past, can we succeed now, even after three hundred years with advanced technology?
“You will be the future Clan Leader, so there is sothing I can tell you now.” Sulaya said slowly, “Her Majesty and I have confird sothing.”
i En was hearing Sulaya speak in such a grave tone for the first ti, and she straightened up: “Please, Clan Leader, tell .”
“The Divine Sword lives, and Princess Yongning never died.” Sulaya said word by word.
