"Leader."
Ji Xinghuo gave a standard military salute.
Ji Daosheng stood up and looked at Ji Xinghuo, a smile breaking across his face.
Seeing this smile, the trepidation and nervousness in Ji Xinghuo’s heart lted away. He felt a kind of goodwill that was inexplicable yet conveyed much information.
Such a smile might only be seen two or three tis in one’s lifeti, the other person’s gaze pouring onto you, showing a natural favor. He understood you just as much as you hoped to be understood, believed in you just as you are willing to believe in yourself, and let you know that his impression of you was exactly the one you intended to give to others.
At that mont, Ji Xinghuo felt as if a long ti had passed.
He stood effortlessly before the leader, appearing at ease, but in reality, he had faced many dangers and made great efforts.
The leader seed to empathize, nodding slightly at Ji Xinghuo.
He ca forward to extend his hand and shook it with Ji Xinghuo, saying, "Xinghuo has arrived, please have a seat."
"Yes."
Ji Xinghuo sat down on the sofa opposite him.
Only then did he have the mind to observe the other individuals in the office, realizing that most of them were notable figures from the Asia-Pacific Community and even globally recognized.
The most eye-catching was the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man standing behind the leader, a little giant over three ters tall, clad in Power Armor but without a helt, his face resolute and his gaze sharp as a sword, his short hair standing like steel needles, carrying a broadsword like a door panel on his back.
He was Luo Baoguo, the Legion Commander of the Great Xia Army, known as "Great Xia’s Army Chief," ranked 15th on the Heavenly King list.
Luo Baoguo was the first Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man on Earth.
Since the 1920s, he has followed the leader through campaigns in all directions, and now, after more than a hundred years, he is one of the leader’s most capable assistants.
To the right hand of the leader was a man with exceedingly handso features, stars for brows and sword-like eyes, his features as perfect as if carved from marble, appearing to be rely in his thirties, though his gaze was as profound and wise as that of an elder.
Dressed in a crisp military uniform, he cut a dashing figure. Even Ji Xinghuo, whose skin was thick as a city wall, couldn’t help but feel inadequate in comparison.
This super handso man was the leader’s most trusted comrade-in-arms, nad Wu Huai’an.
He was the supre commander of the military forces of the Asia-Pacific Community and the only soldier to have been awarded the rank of Marshal.
Wu Huai’an, known as "The Great Wall," ranked fourth on the Heavenly King list, just behind the leader.
Compared to the leader, Wu Huai’an was not so dazzling. Over the years, he has consistently been overshadowed by the leader’s aura, but anyone with a knowledge of the history of the Asia-Pacific Community knows that Wu Huai’an’s contributions to the nation are no less than those of the leader.
Wu Huai’an noticed Ji Xinghuo looking at him and gave him a friendly smile, which made Ji Xinghuo feel like he was basking in a warm spring breeze.
Then Ji Daosheng said, "Xinghuo, let give you a formal introduction."
"You should know Huai’an, so I won’t say more." He pointed at Wu Huai’an, then began introducing the others.
Luo Baoguo, the Legion Commander of the Great Xia Army;
The head of the Extre Martial Arts Academy, "Gun Saint" Xing Lie, sixth on the Heavenly King list;
"Master Chao Feng" Luo Ying, the most powerful Master on Earth, ranked tenth on the Heavenly King list;
Zhu Xiaorong, the president of the Asia-Pacific Community’s Spiritual Energy Association, she is an Electric Field Stringer, 18th on the Heavenly King list, also known as "Mother of Lightning";
"Champion Marquis" Huo Keji, 36th on the Heavenly King list, the youngest Heavenly King Mutant present.
A total of seven Heavenly Kings!
There are 13 Heavenly Kings in the Asia-Pacific Community in total, with more than half in attendance.
Among the others were several high-ranking governnt officials, the director of the Sword Bureau, Li Hui, the minister of the Star Realm Departnt, Yan Wenxu, the minister of the Security Departnt, Sima Hanzhang, and other renowned Mutant powerhouses from the Legendary list, all casting friendly glances at Ji Xinghuo.
Listening to the leader’s introduction, these people were either Heavenly Kings or Legendary figures, the core power circle of the Asia-Pacific Community.
He thought it was just the leader wanting to et him, but the scale was far larger than anticipated; there must be other arrangents afoot.
Had it been soone else, their heart would be filled with trepidation by now.
Ji Xinghuo, however, stood his ground with dignity, nodding to each of the titans in turn.
Once he took his seat again, Ji Daosheng didn’t broach any serious topic but instead said with a smile, "Xinghuo, you too are a Ji, it’s rare for such a prodigious talent to erge from my own lineage, and although blood ties are not much acknowledged today, you are considered a junior of my family."
