Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 939: Appointment
The day before the provincial competition.
Donna brought the members of the Night Rose Team to Xingtian City, and moved into the residence prepared for the participating warrior-level teams in Xingtian City in advance.
Like the Night Rose Team, other participating teams have basically also arrived in Xingtian City and started preparing for the subsequent competitions.
However, while others were busy preparing for the competition, Li Jiu and Donna quietly came to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Xingtian City.
They were going to fight with Shangguan Lingyun.
…
At this moment, in this huge and empty factory building of the abandoned factory, two groups of people came and looked at each other calmly.
There were only two people in one group, namely Li Jiu and Donna.
The other group of people was larger, with more than a dozen people, and they were vaguely divided into three small groups.
Among this group of people was Donna's father, Tang Rong, a plump man with a mustache wearing a Tang suit, standing on the far left of the crowd.
Behind Tang Rong's men, standing on the left and right sides were a beautiful woman with a sweet smile and a middle-aged man with a cold expression.
The two men did not focus their eyes on Li Jiu and Donna, but kept scanning the situation around the factory.
Judging from the expressions and behaviors of these two people, they are obviously the two personal bodyguards that Tang Rong brought this time.
In addition, standing on the right side of this group of people was Li Jiu's acquaintance, Shangguan Lingfeng, who had tricked him into going to the Eastern Province, and who was also Shangguan Lingyun's younger brother.
Shangguan Lingfeng was still wearing a neat military uniform today, staring at Li Jiu with sharp eyes.
Behind him were five or six fully armed soldiers from the inspection team, all of them were level five fighters.
He brought these people here today to support his brother Shangguan Lingyun and to prevent Li Jiu and Donna from doing anything during the battle.
However, after a careful check, he unexpectedly discovered that only Li Jiu and Donna came, and there were no other arrangements.
And finally, standing in the middle of this group of people was a man in military uniform with a strong physique and a tall figure like a mountain.
This man was not very old, probably only in his thirties at most, but he was natural and exuded an aura as deep and calm as the sea, as if even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, it would not make him frown.
At this moment, Li Jiu was looking at this man with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
But the other person's gaze just swept past Li Jiu indifferently and fell on Donna beside him.
And when his eyes fell on Donna, a complex look flashed in his eyes, which were as vast and unfathomable as the starry sky.
This person is naturally the protagonist of today's duel with Li Jiu, Shangguan Lingyun!
Behind Shangguan Lingyun, there were four soldiers who were also fully armed, and all of them were level six fighters. It seemed that they were Shangguan Lingyun's casual guards.
"Now that everyone is here, can we start?" Donna ignored Shangguan Lingyun's gaze on her and glanced at the people opposite her.
"Xiao Na, why are you doing this?" Before Shangguan Lingyun could answer, Tang Rong on the left frowned and said to his woman, "It's rare that Lingyun likes you, what else are you dissatisfied with? Could it be that you can find a better husband than him?"
Tang Rong has always been optimistic about Donna and Shangguan Lingyun, and he tried his best to match Donna with the other party. In fact, it was not entirely for the benefit of the family, but because he was really satisfied with Shangguan Lingyun as a son-in-law.
In Tang Rong's opinion, Shangguan Lingyun, an outstanding young man who has achieved success in his career at a young age and has a promising future, can not only help the entire Tang family, but more importantly, he is sincere to Tang Na. He is simply the best son-in-law that is hard to find even with a lantern!
Therefore, from the very beginning, he was very opposed to Donna's private fight with Shangguan Lingyun, and tried his best to sabotage it in secret.
Even at this moment, he was still trying to persuade Donna to cancel the fight, while something was happening.
Especially when he learned that even Shangguan Lingyun's younger brother Shangguan Lingfeng himself could not do anything to Li Jiu, he saw the battle between Li Jiu and Shangguan Lingyun not far away.
"Father, since you like him so much, why don't you just marry him yourself!"
But who would have thought that after hearing his persuasion, Donna spoke directly with a blank expression.
"I marry him? You...you kid..." Tang Rong was stunned for a moment, then he became so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Uncle Tang, stop talking. With my eldest brother here, are you still worried about any changes in this duel?" At this moment, Shangguan Lingfeng on the right raised the corner of his mouth, revealed a hint of ridicule and said to Li Jiu.
"This..." Tang Rong was speechless.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Shangguan Lingyun would lose to Li Jiu.
Moreover, in fact, Tang Rong had never worried that Shangguan Lingyun would lose to Li Jiu!
Although he was not clear about the strength of Li Jiu and Shangguan Lingyun, he at least knew that Li Jiu's military rank was only major general, while Shangguan Lingyun was already a general!
However, Tang Rong knew the gap between major general and admiral .
In his opinion, even if Li Jiu's strength was stronger than he expected, he would definitely not be a match for Shangguan Lingyun.
However, he was worried that if, just if, during the battle, Shangguan Lingyun was careless and was injured by Li Jiu, this would affect the subsequent marriage between their two families.
You know, the Shangguan family is now completely different because of Shangguan Lingyun.
As for their Tang family, their dependence on the Shangguan family now far exceeds that when the Black Dragon Society ruled the eastern province.
"Alas, Donna, why is she still so stubborn?" Tang Rong looked at the unmoved Donna and complained in his heart, "She should have received the intelligence I sent her a few days ago. She should know that after the Black Dragon Society betrayed the Alliance, Shangguan Lingyun was suddenly reused by the Alliance and took power in the First Legion. Therefore, the status of the Shangguan family in the Eastern Province has also risen, reaching a position that no one can match..."
"Therefore, if our Tang family can attach itself to the other party at this time, then we will surely be able to rise to prominence in the future. But if we cannot form an alliance with the other party, and instead accidentally injure the other party in today's battle, then the result... is simply unimaginable!" Thinking about it, Tang Rong frowned, "Donna, why can't she understand my good intentions? She insists on fighting the other party so stubbornly. What good will it do her?"
