All of us are one

Chapter 118 Arrival in Shining City

When Old Jack reviewed the surveillance footage, he received a message and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know your limits."

Then, he looked at the surveillance footage outside the villa. Two young men in their thirties from the Divine Martial Kingdom had left the car and were standing beside it, watching the various surveillance cameras outside the villa.

"His senses are very sharp; he must be a master among high-level martial artists."

Old Jack's gaze was deep. Judging from the fact that Jiang Yanming was accompanied by two high-level martial artists, the mission they were about to undertake was not simple and was probably much more dangerous than Eric had described.

"The Four Nations Alliance seems to be getting more and more chaotic..." Old Jack sighed and shook his head, no longer staring at the monitor screen.

……

Outside the villa.

Leng Tong and Wang Chen stood beside the car, their eyes scanning the locations of the various hidden surveillance cameras.

"The young leader has been inside for some time now," Wang Chen said softly.

"Wait a little longer. The young leader and the homeowner are acquaintances. We can't just barge in," Leng Tong replied.

"Hmm...it's the young leader!" Wang Chen saw the villa door open and two people walk out.

"That person next to him..." Leng Tong noticed the blond, blue-eyed foreigner following behind Jiang Yanming.

As Jiang Yanming drew closer, Leng Tong and Wang Chen noticed something was off about the blond barbarian. He resembled some of the cyborgs they had seen before, but he didn't seem as dangerous.

"Are they two descendants of the Divine Martial Kingdom, or two citizens of the Divine Martial Kingdom?"

Eric noticed the scrutinizing gazes of Leng Tong and Wang Chen, and couldn't help but wonder about their identities.

Judging from their gazes, he was more inclined to believe that they were from the Divine Martial Kingdom and were high-level martial artists with considerable strength, as only they would pay such attention to him.

"I've heard that high-level martial artists have amazing perception abilities, especially when it comes to things that could threaten them, surpassing even the most advanced radar detection equipment," Eric muttered to himself. "It seems that's true. I only added some combat modules, but they detected it immediately and became wary of me."

"Young Alliance Leader."

Leng Tong and Wang Chen came forward. They saw the silver arm guard on Jiang Yanming's arm, with tiny, fish-scale-like holes on its surface, and knew that it was what the young leader had gone to retrieve.

"His name is Eric. He's a skilled cyber hacker who can provide us with some assistance. He'll be working with us from now on," Jiang Yanming introduced Eric, who was standing next to him.

Upon hearing this, Leng Tong and Wang Chen exchanged a glance. Although they were unhappy about the barbarians who had rashly joined the operation, they could only nod slightly as a way of greeting them.

"Hello." Eric raised his hand in greeting, noticing the subtle dislike between the two.

That's right. If you're facing someone you've never met before and have to do a high-risk mission with them, they'd probably be just as reluctant.

"This is Leng Tong, and this is Wang Chen," Jiang Yanming introduced again, "They are high-level martial artists from the Divine Martial Kingdom, with strength equivalent to a level six cyborg, um... probably close to level seven."

Upon hearing this, Eric exclaimed in surprise, "A high-level martial artist approaching level seven? That's incredible!"

The Four Nations Alliance has few high-level warriors, far fewer than the number of cyborgs of the same level, but they pose a far greater threat.

If Eric were to choose his opponent, he would rather face a level seven cyborg than these two high-level martial artists who are close to level seven.

"Let's go, we're heading to Shining City now. Eric, you'll drive."

Jiang Yanming led the three people into the car, and sat in the passenger seat himself. This car was his asset in Peter City under his identity as an electronic hacker.

"Should I buy a plane ticket to Shining City?" Eric asked as he got into the driver's seat.

"I've already bought it for you," Jiang Yanming said calmly.

"Huh? When?" Eric asked, looking puzzled.

"Just now," Jiang Yanming continued, "I reckon the flight information will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eric received a message. He took out his phone and saw that it was indeed from the airline.

"Jiang, how did you do that?" Eric looked surprised. He hadn't seen Jiang Yanming use a cell phone, nor had he seen him manipulate the signal receiver with his fingers.

"You don't need to worry about what I do. Now drive to the airport," Jiang Yanming reminded him. "We need to get to the airport within an hour."

"Okay." Eric suppressed his doubts and started the car, pulling into the driveway.

Leng Tong and Wang Chen exchanged a knowing glance. They could both tell that the young leader was very familiar with this barbarian, probably old friends. No wonder he brought him along on this mission.

……

early morning.

At Shining City Airport, a convoy of black limousines was parked along the driveway outside the terminal building.

Many people of Shenwu Kingdom descent or Shenwu Kingdom descent, dressed in casual clothes, stood around the convoy chatting or watching the situation inside the terminal.

Inside the terminal building.

Three middle-aged men with black hair, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the relatively empty waiting hall, talking in the language of Shenwu Kingdom.

"Mr. Lin is really something, calling us over to wait for someone so late at night."

"The fact that they sent us to pick them up at this time clearly indicates that they are not ordinary people."

"It's more than just extraordinary. When I received Mr. Lin's call, I asked him a few more questions. The visitor not only has a prominent status in the Divine Martial Kingdom, but also represents the entire Divine Martial Kingdom on this trip."

"Representing the entire Divine Martial Kingdom, are you serious?"

"This is what Mr. Lin said himself. If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. Lin and ask him."

"If they are representing the Divine Martial Kingdom, the visitor must have received authorization from the three representatives. However, Mr. Lin has not left Shining City recently, so the other party must be here to use the token."

"The three representatives authorized this; how many years ago was the last time?"

"It's been almost forty years now. Most of the time, only two representatives are authorized. It's very rare to get authorization from three people."

A loud roar came from the three of them as they were talking, immediately drawing their attention.

"The plane is here."

"We'll have to wait a while; public transportation isn't very efficient."

"Then let's keep waiting, it'll give us a little more rest."

The three continued chatting while waiting for the passengers on their flight to enter the terminal.

a long time.

Jiang Yanming and his three companions disembarked from the plane and walked to the terminal passage, where they saw three people from the Divine Martial Kingdom sitting in the waiting hall.

"Have our people arrived yet?" Eric asked.

"It should be them," Jiang Yanming nodded.

"They're here."

Upon seeing this, the three middle-aged men with black hair who were waiting stood up to prepare to greet them.

"Who is he?"

When one of them saw Jiang Yanming's appearance, a sense of familiarity lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but recall where he had seen him before.

"Let's go, let's go greet them."

Someone walked towards Jiang Yanming and his group of four first.

"I remember now!"

The man who had been recalling the events looked astonished and quickly caught up with his two companions, whispering to them, "If I'm not mistaken, he's Alliance Leader Jiang's son!"

"Hmm? Jiang Alliance Leader's biological son?"

"Is it that Jiang Alliance Leader from Moon Island?"

The other two were startled by this and whispered to each other for confirmation.

"Of course it's that Alliance Leader Jiang!" the man replied softly.

Upon receiving the answer, the two men were immediately taken aback. No wonder Mr. Lin had sent them to greet him and was personally preparing a sumptuous late-night snack; it turned out that he was there to welcome the young leader of the Great River Alliance!

At the same time, they all believed that it was only right and proper for the young leader of the Great River Alliance to receive authorization from the three representatives!

"Are you perhaps the young leader of the Great River Alliance?"

After learning Jiang Yanming's identity, the three men greeted him with solemn gestures and clasped hands.

"My name is Jiang Yanming," Jiang Yanming replied, bowing slightly.

He had previously received a message from Mr. Lin that the people who came to pick him up were all from the Divine Martial Kingdom, and the leaders of them were three top-notch experts at the fourth level of the Condensing Qi Realm.

"Heroes Island, Thunder Tiger."

"Taiyi Sect, Yu Beifeng."

"Hundred Flowers Valley, Xun Xin."

The three introduced themselves and then bowed together, saying, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader Jiang."

"Greetings, three seniors." Jiang Yanming returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Qunying Island, Taiyi Sect, and Hundred Flowers Valley are all powerful forces with top-notch experts stationed there. Only such powerful forces would send first-rate experts to the Four Kingdoms Alliance.

Then Yu Beifeng's gaze fell on Eric, and he asked, "Young Master Jiang, may I ask who these three are?"

"Leng Tong and Wang Chen, leaders of the Great River Alliance, greet the three seniors." Leng Tong and Wang Chen responded with a cupped-hand salute.

"Eric, I am A, a well-known cyber hacker in the Quad Alliance." Eric forced a bow, though he didn't quite understand what they were saying, he had no choice but to respond in the Quad Alliance language.

There was no other reason than that Lei Hu and the other two were watching him, which put immense pressure on him, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"I'll need Eric's help with my next move," Jiang Yanming explained. "He'll be traveling alone in a car later."

"I see." Lei Hu and the other two nodded upon hearing this.

Although they did not know what Jiang Yanming's next move was, they knew that the need to use electronic hackers must be related to the Four Nations Alliance.

"Young Master Jiang, Mr. Lin has prepared a sumptuous supper for you. Let's head back now so that Mr. Lin won't have to wait any longer," Lei Hu suggested.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Yanming nodded, and the group walked out of the terminal together, ignoring the stares of others.

Outside the terminal building.

The many Shenwu Kingdom people who were chatting and keeping watch around the convoy either immediately went forward to greet Jiang Yanming and his group when they came out, or opened the car doors to wait for them to get in.

"Eric, you go with Leng Tong and Wang Chen," Jiang Yanming instructed in the language of the Four Nations Alliance, then turned to Lei Hu and the other two and said, "Please, seniors."

"Young Master Jiang, please go first." The three of them bowed humbly at the same time.

I have to be humble, because the person in front of me is the young leader of the Great River Alliance, the son of the number one expert.

More importantly, they all knew that this young leader Jiang was quite strong. He had only been cultivating for a few years, but his physique alone far surpassed that of his peers. He was sure to become a top expert in the future, and might even reach the pinnacle!

Yes, Young Master Jiang is a registered martial artist in the Martial Arts Alliance, and he comprehended profound truths during the Four Kingdoms Alliance, so he truly has the potential to become a top-tier martial artist.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanming got into the limousine first. He and Lei Hu rode in the same car, mainly to learn about the Martial Arts Alliance before deciding where to start.

……

the other side.

Shining City, in a high-rise building in the city center.

Inside the lavish office, a blond middle-aged man, his eyes slightly narrowed, hung up the phone, muttering to himself, "These people from the Divine Martial Kingdom can't even keep quiet in the middle of the night..."
