Chapter 726 – World Congress – Part 6

A group of five was standing next to the Tang Empire's booth, and Zhang Mengyao recognized the group. They were her fellow country, or to be more exact, her ex-fellow country. She did not see any country name from the VIP factions, meaning no government survived through the Game.

The five men looked above the forties, and from the way they were standing, they seemed to be from the military. Zhang Mengyao herself was from the military as well, but she did not recognize any of these five. She was from Nan Jing's base, and they might be from the other cities' bases.

She glanced at Kang Jiayi for confirmation and found out that Kang Jiayi was surprised to see the group. It was clear that he recognized the group. Kang Jiayi was a retired General, and if the old man recognized the group, meaning these people were high-ranking officials.

Zhang Mengyao did not know what to do. It was not like the opposite party coming with an ill intention. There was no reason for her to refuse a group that came with goodwill. Wei Xi read the situation and spoke up. "Let them come in and listen to what they want to say." The others agreed with Wei Xi as well by nodding.

Zhang Mengyao opened the screen and turned off the barrier. She smiled and invited the group into their booth, "Please come in." At the same time, she glanced at Kang Jiayi. She was trying to signal the old man to send her a message about the group's identity. However, Kang Jiayi did not pick up the signal as he stared at the incoming group.

"It's been a long time, General Kang." The man in his late forties greeted Kang Jiayi with a gentle smile on his face. Kang Jiayi returned the greeting with an amiable smile. "It should be former General. You are the new General, General Wang."

Kang Jiayi and General Wang hugged while exchanging small talk in a small voice. "It's been a long time, Sir. I did not expect to see you here." General Wang seemed to be close with Kang Jiayi based on their conversation.

Kang Jiayi released the hug and made a restrained smile. He realized why General Wang was coming over, and he believed this would have a bad end. "Haha, same for me." He replied with a short response.

"Then, are you part of the Tang Empire, Sir? If you are from the Tang Empire, this will be easy to talk with." General Wang completely disregarded everyone and solely talked with Kang Jiayi. While Yu Shun and Lu An did not care about it, the others were displeased.

"I don't think I can be any help for you, General Wang. While I am part of the Tang Empire, my authority is not that significant to make a decision for the faction. If you want to discuss something with the Tang Empire, you should talk with her." Kang Jiayi shook his head and directed General Wang to Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi. "She is the Supreme General of the Tang Empire, and he is Vice-Supreme General."

The words Supreme General entered his ear, General Wang furrowed his brow. General was supposed to be the highest-ranking in the military, yet this Tang Empire made a new ranking above General. He felt like being degraded.

Of course, General Wang was not aware the military system of the Tang Empire was completely different from the old one. The other four men also showed their displeasure upon hearing the title Supreme General.

General Wang just showed it briefly before a smile returned to his face. "Hello, I am General Wang Zhengju. We are from Chengdu Survivor Establishment." He extended his hand for a handshake.

Zhang Mengyao reached the hand and faked her smile. "Hello, Zhang Mengyao, the current Supreme General of the Tang Empire." She did not bother to ask the other four's identity and let them have a seat. "Please sit."

The booth split into two sides, Zhang Mengyao, Li Shuang, Wei Xi, Cao Jingyi, and Kang Xue were to face their guests, and the four sat behind. It was clear that the chain of command was in these five people rather than the retired General Kang Jiayi. 'What? These women represent this faction?'

General Wang Zhengju looked over toward Kang Jiayi. The latter nodded his head with a smile, and then he shook his head. Kang Jiayi nodded, indicating these five had authorities over the Tang Empire. He shook his head, meaning he could not help General Wang.

"If we may know, what do you want to discuss with us, General Wang? If you want to talk about the vote, then we haven't made a decision yet." Wei Xi opened the conversation without any fear. If it was before the Game, he did not have the courage to speak like this with a General.

General Wang snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. "No, we come here to talk about something else, not the vote." He did not immediately say his purpose of visiting the Tang Empire and glanced in the direction of the auditorium. "I have heard a lot about The Tang Empire from Major General Shi Yan. Not only are you an organized establishment run by civilians, but you also manage to gather the strong survivors. You guys are doing a good job for the country."

Zhang Mengyao let out a small sigh and lowered her head as she had expected what would come from this group. "Major General Shi Yan?" Wei Xi however, did not know who this Major General was.

"He is the person who runs the Suzhou City Establishment." Zhang Mengyao responded lightly. At the same time, when the Suzhou City Establishment was mentioned, Lu An grinned ear to ear. He made quite a mess there by joining the Survival Game of the Suzhou City. Not a few died with his sword as they clashed inside the Survival Game.

"So I came here with a proposal. We are willing to overlook what you have done to the people in Suzhou City Establishment as long as the leader of the Tang Empire apologizes to the leader of the Suzhou City Establishment. After we clear the misunderstanding, we can work together to rebuild our country.." General Wang conveyed his purpose of visiting the Tang Empire's booth.
