Chapter 124 Strange Combinations

"Many forces are inquiring about my past, including the three major families of Jiangnan?"

Jiang Yanming pondered to himself that the eldest daughters chosen by the three major families were all outstanding, each with excellent looks, figure, and demeanor, which perfectly matched his aesthetic standards.

Looking back now, perhaps it was because the three major families had investigated him that they chose such suitable candidates. However, some of the legitimate daughters did not meet his expectations in terms of personality, which made him give up the idea of ​​a marriage alliance.

"The three major families of Jiangnan are not enemies, especially given that Senior Liang's lifespan is coming to an end."

Jiang Yanming thought to himself, "But besides the three major families, the other forces that are inquiring about my past are probably some of the Great River Alliance's enemies."

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." It is normal for hostile forces to send people to investigate his past, so that they can make targeted arrangements, such as kidnapping his friend Arthur by any means necessary!

"Hopefully, Arthur can be spared from being implicated..."

Jiang Yanming was worried. He had previously thought of reducing contact with Arthur, mainly to avoid Arthur being implicated by him, but he was still a step too late.

"Since things have come to this, all we can do is tell Arthur to be cautious. If all else fails, he can stay with Lucy for a few days," Jiang Yanming said helplessly.

Lucy's Green family is a core member of the Four Nations Alliance, so their family power must be considerable. Moreover, Lucy's talent as a Dark Energy Master is astonishing, and she is expected to become an eighth-level Dark Energy Master before the age of thirty. This should be enough to ensure Arthur's safety.

"Does Young Master Jiang think the Green family will send someone?" Mr. Lin asked again.

"I think so," Jiang Yanming replied, pulling himself out of his thoughts. "The Four Nations Alliance is a society based on personal relationships. The core families have complex and intertwined interests, with both hostility and cooperation. It would be best for the Green family, as a core member, to step forward."

"Young Master Jiang's analysis is very insightful," Mr. Lin praised softly. "The Four Nations Alliance and the Holy Union are deeply connected. Their past split was due to the unequal distribution of spoils. Before that, the major families had close ties through intermarriage."

"So, all this fighting has turned out to mean that the core of the Four Nations Alliance and the Holy Union are related by blood," Lei Hu said, surprised.

"The world is all the same. Before we lost contact with the Upper Realm, my Divine Martial Kingdom was united in fighting against the alien beasts," Mr. Lin said calmly. "After losing contact with the Upper Realm for more than three hundred years, the Divine Martial Kingdom gradually became what it is today."

Lei Hu frowned upon hearing this, not quite agreeing with Mr. Lin's statement.

Previously, the Divine Martial Kingdom united to fight against the alien beasts for a matter of life and death. Now, various forces are divided and fighting each other for interests and martial arts. The conflict between the Four Kingdoms Alliance and the Holy Alliance is simply due to the unequal distribution of benefits.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming became curious about Mr. Lin's family background. He had only heard Lei Hu and others say that Mr. Lin came from a family of scribes, but he did not expect to know so much about the past of the Divine Martial Kingdom. It must be a family of scholars with a long-standing tradition.

Afterwards, the group chatted in the reception room, with Mr. Lin, Lei Hu, and Yu Beifeng taking turns using their internal energy to block out the sound.

Two hours passed, during which the tea was refilled three or four times, before the representatives of the Four Nations Alliance finally arrived.

……

In front of the Martial Arts Federation headquarters building.

More than ten cars were lined up in a long queue on the street, with three of them parked in front of the building.

dong dong dong...

Dozens of men in black got out of the car and lined up in two rows in front of the building to isolate the people from the Martial Arts Alliance. Among them were many cyborgs with gleaming eyes.

Isolated outside, Tian Kun looked at the numerous men in black, their faces cold and expressionless, their hands clasped in front of them as they warily surveyed their surroundings. He couldn't help but wonder, "Are we being asked to greet them? How are we supposed to do that?"

From a distance in the lobby, Speaker Liu asked a high-ranking member of the Martial Arts Alliance, "Have you notified Alliance Leader Jiang and Mr. Lin?"

"I've already had someone notify them." The man nodded repeatedly, glancing at the elevator shaft not far away. "They should be coming down in the elevator soon."

"Let's go take a look first. If Young Master Jiang and Mr. Lin arrive, remember to accompany them." After saying this, Speaker Liu led the other two speakers toward the large group of men in black lined up in two rows.

Just then, men in black opened the doors of three cars parked in front of the building, and two men and one woman got out of each car. The woman got out of the middle car.

"Mr. Finch, it's been a long time." Speaker Liu greeted him warmly, and the men in black around him did not stop him.

"Speaker Liu, Speaker Huang, Speaker Guo, it's a pleasure to see you all again," the black-haired youth addressed as Mr. Finch replied with a smile.

"This is Miss Lucy from the Green family," Finch introduced the three. "This is Mr. Allen from the Chalco family."

"Welcome Miss Lucy and Mr. Allen to the Martial Arts Alliance." Upon hearing this, Speaker Liu and the other two immediately greeted them with warm smiles.

The Martial Arts Alliance is based on the Four Kingdoms Alliance. Speaker Liu and his two companions naturally have a good understanding of the major families at the core of the Four Kingdoms Alliance, especially the outstanding young generation of each family, and have managed to collect a great deal of information about them.

That Ellen, they knew she was a potential heir to the Chalco family.

Miss Lucy is very mysterious and rarely participates in banquets held by various families. Because the Green family has few members, she is the only heir of the Green family and her status is no less than that of Young Master Jiang.

"Please come in, all three of you." Speaker Liu gestured for them to enter. "I have already informed the representatives of the Divine Martial Kingdom, Alliance Leader Jiang and Mr. Lin; they should be arriving soon."

So the group entered the main hall, followed by several men in black.

"I heard that an important witness died last night?" Finch asked.

"The person died too suddenly, and we are investigating the cause of death," Speaker Liu said, changing the subject. "Young Master Jiang expressed his hope to discuss this issue with you."

"Is that so..." Finch narrowed his eyes and stopped to look at the few Shenwu Kingdom people who had just come out of the elevator.

The others also stopped, for they had all seen the handsome young man surrounded by a large group of people from the Divine Martial Kingdom.

As soon as Jiang Yanming stepped out of the elevator, he saw a group of people walking towards him. Among them was a beautiful woman with gorgeous silver hair, wearing a white dress, whose graceful figure attracted his attention.

"As expected, they've arrived." Jiang Yanming smiled, but felt somewhat helpless inside.

Since becoming the young leader of the Great River Alliance, he had wondered if he would stand against Lucy, and that day has finally come.

His first encounter with the core members of the Four Kingdoms Alliance as the young leader of the Great River Alliance was with Lucy, a top-tier heiress.

Despite his reluctance, Jiang Yanming still smiled and walked towards the oncoming crowd.

"Young Master Jiang..." Speaker Liu was about to introduce Jiang Yanming when he saw him coming over.

Jiang Yanming raised his hand to interrupt, standing two or three meters away from the crowd, and smiled, "Lucy, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Grandfather said you were here too, so I came." Lucy smiled and nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, the three chairpersons of the Martial Arts Alliance looked at Jiang Yanming and Lucy with somewhat strange expressions. Their relationship seemed unusual, but the problem was…

One is the young leader of the Great River Alliance of the Divine Martial Kingdom, and the other is the heir of the Green family of the Four Kingdoms Alliance. Such a combination seems very strange to them!
