Chapter 866 - 527: So the Weak Also Have Expectations
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Feng was still very curious about where Wang Yu was and whether he could find other clues in the Heroic Spirit Hall.
And all of this required the complete opening of the Heroic Spirit Hall and the resurrection of those angels to know.
Finally, with a calm gaze, Chen Feng made his decision.
Unfortunately, it was already daylight, and he could only wait for nightfall before he could enter the dream and enter Qinggang City.
With his mind made up, he put away the panel.
Looking out at the street the convoy was driving through, the sky beyond the window was not as clear as yesterday, seemingly gloomy.
The car’s intelligent system displayed the day’s weather forecast, predicting some rainfall related to the atmospheric currents of the Ocean Sea.
In this regard.
"People are just like this weather... not very calm indeed."
Chairman Li Yun suddenly said, his aged face showing a sigh.
Chen Feng’s gaze sharpened, looking out the window, and he immediately noticed the difference from yesterday’s situation.
There was stronger malice and rejection.
In front of supermarkets, outside bars, and near shopping malls.
Figures of white or black people gathered around, their eyes on the convoy exceptionally hostile.
Some even held up banners with words unwelcome to the people of Chi Country, and some even made insulting gestures at the convoy.
"What’s going on?"
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering why the attitude of these Federation people had suddenly worsened overnight.
"Yesterday’s affairs at the port were covered up by the local media, and pictures were released of our aircraft carrier group confronting on the ocean sea border."
Chairman Li Yun shook his head, and the assistant in the front seat took out a tablet.
Chen Feng looked over and saw news footage from Black Port City playing on it.
It was a fleet of white-gray aircraft carriers, flags of the Red Maple Leaf fluttering in the wind.
The sailors on deck looked fiercely and stood firm, not retreating an inch.
Everything appeared ominous with the dark filter, like the contempt of a king, an invasion signal.
There were also images of their delegation at the port, similarly obscured by the dark filter, concealing the truth.
The figures in black coats appeared extraordinarily domineering, refusing to cooperate with investigations, resulting in injury to the action team members.
The concrete ground of the port was melted and cracked, and every single one of Chi Country’s security showed fierce expressions.
[Eastern Empire’s arrogance and aggression, trying to breach our Federation’s border with aircraft carriers!]
[The Empire’s ambition exposed, the delegation lacks etiquette, forcefully crossing the border!]
[The Empire’s delegation lacks sincerity, challenging our Federation’s principles...]
Several eye-catching red headlines appeared in the footage, with carefully selected images distorting the truth, heavily edited.
If he didn’t know the truth, even Chen Feng might have believed it was so.
"These are all private media controlled by giant corporate conglomerates, holding seventy percent of the Federation’s media field."
"Many are related to the New Alliance, skilled at slandering... It seems they are not satisfied with yesterday’s outcome."
Chairman Li Yun shook his head and said, Chen Feng squinted slightly at the words, understanding the tactics involved.
Although these private media couldn’t represent the Federation Council and weren’t official media,
they were sufficient to tarnish the image of Chi Country’s delegation.
Even if questioned, the people from the foreign affairs bureau could easily find an excuse, pretending to impose strict punishment, just for appearances.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng’s gaze turned slightly cold, and the sky outside the black car window grew increasingly gloomy.
The hostility of the people on the roadside from the Federation deepened, the thick malice lingered without dispersing.
The convoy drove through many streets, with various neon arches and floating projections drifting away.
The surrounding buildings briefly emptied, revealing a majestic building in the distance.
It was a large white architectural complex located in the city center.
It looked like a medieval noble castle, with the surrounding streets only having lawns and a vast fountain square.
Several flagpoles stood among them, with the Federation’s flags of the golden flying eagle fluttering freely.
The open view was unobstructed, with numerous security personnel wearing sunglasses and communication devices patrolling nearby, remaining vigilant.
"This is the Federation’s Southern Parliament."
"Earlier, because of certain events, the Federation Council set up a parliamentary hall in both the north and south."
Chairman Li Yun explained, and Chen Feng squinted, taking in all the scenery.
The fountain square was now filled with figures, numerous parliament members and Federation elites from the foreign affairs bureau waiting for them, along with quite a bit of media presence.
He saw Andre, with an indifferent face as if in a different body, as well as prominent Federation figures whom he had only seen on TV news and in delegation briefings.
There were several armed security teams visible, and he also noticed the hidden sentries in the nearby blocks, along with the defensive arrangements of the action department and public security bureau.
The streets here were almost blocked, the asphalt road cut off by barriers, allowing only the delegation’s convoy to enter.
Finally.
The convoy stopped, arriving at the fountain square outside the parliament.
Click!
The car doors opened, and the delegation’s security were the first to get out of the car, fanning out cautiously alert.
Chen Feng and Wang Cheng followed suit, standing beside Li Yun and the others, looking towards those welcoming them.
"Mr. Li, hello."
A somewhat aged voice, the Federation language automatically translated by a translator.
It was a white elderly man, his hair sparse, aged face showing some wrinkles.
His brown eyes were not at all murky, instead, very deep, full of hidden thoughts, standing at the forefront among the parliament people.
Besides Andre, there were also two Legendary Level strongmen as bodyguards by his side.
"Mr. Moke."
Chairman Li Yun smiled and shook hands, his tone respectful.
In the simple exchanges, the white elderly man appeared casual, asking about Xia Mingyuan’s situation.
"I heard Xia is in Radiant City lately; it’s been a while since I last saw him."
"Mr. Xia also misses you very much, but due to overwhelming responsibilities recently, he can’t attend to everything."
"Before this trip, he asked me to convey a message, urging you to take good care of yourself..."
Chairman Li Yun politely explained, maintaining composure.
The white elderly man known as Mr. Moke subtly flickered his gaze, lightly nodding.
As the conversation ended, he naturally looked at Chen Feng.
"So, this is Mr. Chen, is it?"
"Yesterday, Andre and the others were a bit reckless and lacking in etiquette. I apologize on their behalf."
The aged voice sounded again, and he similarly extended his hand.
As their eyes met, they shook hands.
Chen Feng looked at this prominent figure of the Federation, a core figure of the Old Covenant Faction.
There was no malice, and his tone seemed sincere.
However, within his perception.
Andre behind him was staring intensely at him, with both fear and coldness.
Suddenly.
Nodding slightly, Chen Feng kept his expression calm, ending the handshake without saying much.
Now was not the time to tear the facade, and he sensed the subtle atmosphere among these people.
Andre’s energy level magnetic field was slightly weaker, evidently having switched to a new body.
Those from the New Alliance led by him appeared cold and filled with hostility.
In contrast, those from the Old Covenant Faction led by Mr. Moke showed much more restraint.
"These two factions are indeed at odds."
"Perhaps, to unite against external forces, they haven’t erupted, restraining their conflicting tensions."
The voice of the Star Spirit gently sounded in his mind, having already attempted to infiltrate the local network gathering much information.
Chen Feng wasn’t surprised by this; it was a topic discussed internally within the delegation before reaching the Federation.
Because of the discord between the two major factions, they decided to come to negotiate.
By leveraging the Secret Realm clause, working with the Old Covenant Faction, and then capturing Han Mingchuan back from the dominant New Alliance.
This thought seemed like a tacit understanding, as the senior negotiators on both sides connected.
Other senior members of the Old Covenant Faction showed up, shaking hands and conversing with the delegation members.
The group was surrounded by security, heading towards the white jade steps, walking towards the castle-like parliament building.
The atmosphere was somewhat harmonious for the moment, but soon.
"I am looking forward to the upcoming negotiations."
"Including the entire New Alliance."
Andre suddenly approached, lowering his voice, speaking coldly.
His seemingly threatening words were heard by many, with various gazes subtly turning his way.
"That guy."
Wang Cheng frowned, his gaze slightly cold.
Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Chen Feng suddenly speak.
"Is that so...."
In a calm tone, he didn’t even glance at Andre.
Instead, his steps remained, brushing past the other party, ascending to higher steps.
"I didn’t expect that the weak... could also have expectations."
