Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong-Chapter 459 - Birthday Banquet

459 Birthday Banquet

“Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around?” the captain of the security team, a veteran, asked coldly.

Cold sweat appeared on Fan Peng’s forehead, but he did not panic.

“Am I being sneaky?” he turned and asked forcefully.

The old soldier’s cold gaze turned dull, and he laughed at himself. “Alright, let’s go.”

!!

“Alright!”

Fan Peng was about to leave with the trash can, but the captain, who seemed to have connections, stopped him.

“Wait, I just heard someone scream. Was it you?”

Fan Peng’s eyes were very confused as if he did not understand why someone with connections would ask such a question.

“If it wasn’t me, who else could it have been?” he said, spreading his hands, “A ghost?”

A trace of maliciousness flashed through the captain’s eyes. “Then what’s your name?”

Fan Peng’s eyes inadvertently rolled around, and he said with an embarrassed expression, “This trash can is too heavy. I almost dropped it when I was going down the stairs.”

“Did you hit your foot?” The person sneered. “If that’s the case, then I’ll help you carry it.”

Fan Peng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. The waiter who was with him had been knocked unconscious and was now in the trash can. If he was discovered, Fan Peng would be finished!

Seeing the captain getting closer and closer, Fan Peng’s heart also started to beat faster. The captain arrived in front of Fan Peng.

Lu Benwei and Gan Yan, who were hiding in the corner, clenched their fists, ready to strike at any moment.

Fan Peng’s eyes gradually turned cold, and he was always on guard.

Suddenly, the captain pinched his nose. “Oh no, this is too stinky.”

In an instant, his expression was filled with disgust as he kept waving at Fan Peng, “Go away, go away! Why is this trash can so smelly?”

Fan Peng heaved a sigh of relief. He then took a deep breath and assumed a half-squatting posture.

After a muffled groan, Fan Peng picked up the big trash can with both hands.

The stains and oil on the outer wall scraped against his white uniform, causing the security guards around him to frown. They made way for him.

“Go back, all of you, go back!”

The captain waved his hands, and the two security teams returned to their original positions.

After a while, Fan Peng tidied up everything and turned back to the back door to meet Lu Benwei and Gan Yan.

“Fan Peng, what are you doing here?” Lu Benwei asked.

“You don’t need to know why I’m here. Why are you here?” Fan Peng asked in return, his face still filled with fear.

“It’s a good thing you ran into me just now. Otherwise, you two wouldn’t be able to leave this place in one piece today.”

“This Dragon City Hotel is so presumptuous. Is it worth such a big fuss?” Gan Yan smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

“It’s not the Dragon City Hotel that’s being presumptuous, but the host of today’s birthday banquet!” Fan Peng explained to them.

“Birthday banquet?!” Lu Benwei and Gan Yan exclaimed at the same time.

As expected! The Wang family’s goal was not simple!

“Fan Peng, tell me, which family is hosting the birthday banquet?” Lu Benwei continued to ask.

“It’s the Zhu family of Dragon City. Today is Old Master Zhu’s 100th birthday! More than half of Dragon City’s influential people are here!”

“Damn, it’s the Zhu family from Dragon City,” Gan Yan exclaimed.

Lu Benwei was not interested in these families and asked, “How does the Zhu family of Dragon City compare to the Wang family?”

“Compared to the Wang family? Is the Wang family worthy of being compared to the Zhu family?”

“To put it simply, the Wang family is purely rich and has a bit of power.”

“But in this era, so what if you have power and influence?”

“The Zhu family still has power!”

Fan Peng and Gan Yan took turns explaining to Lu Bfenwei.

“The Zhu family is one of the most powerful families in the Dragon Kingdom. They have five or six level-90 kings!”

“I see.”

Lu Benwei had a basic understanding of the Zhu family.

“But what does this have to do with the Wang family?” he frowned.

“That’s right, what does it have to do with the Wang family?” Gan Yan was also confused.

“You don’t say,” Fan Peng said quietly, “With the Zhu family’s power, they won’t take the Wang family seriously at all. But I don’t know why, but recently the Wang family and the Zhu family have been very close. Speaking of which, why are you guys here?”

Lu benwei’s expression became serious as he told Fan Peng everything.

Fan Peng’s face became more and more frightened. Lu Benwei also realized that Fan Peng’s expression was not right and asked in a deep voice, “Fan Peng, do you know something?”

“Lu Benwei, can you promise me one thing first?”

“Speak!”

“Don’t get too excited about what we’re going to hear later.”

“Alright,” he said.

Fan Peng swallowed his saliva when he heard this.

“I’ll put it this way first. I came here to work a week ago because I heard that this place is recruiting a lot of workers. First, they want people from other provinces, and second, they want students. Plus, the salary here is high, so I came. After staying here for three days, I learned that the Zhu family’s old master’s 100th birthday banquet will be held here, as well as some secret news.”

...

“What secret?” Lu Benwei asked, his right eye twitching.

“The big families of the Dragon Kingdom have an alliance” Fan Peng swallowed his saliva and continued, “The alliance has come up with a decision. Every ten years, they will open up a secret realm called the Holy Land for the disciples of the aristocratic families to train. Last year, the Holy Land’s secret realm opened.

“Not long ago, the Holy Land trial ended. A young master of the Zhu family stood out and became the number one among the descendants of the Dragon Kingdom’s aristocratic families. The Zhu family is very happy. They said that they would find him a beauty from the Dragon Kingdom! I heard about it the day before yesterday that they already selected a stunning beauty. The birthday and engagement party will be held at the same time!”

“Boom!”

A loud sound exploded in Lu Benwei’s ears like thunder. His face was gloomy and his bones were cracking.

Fan Peng’s face turned cold. “We have yet to reach a conclusion. Calm down. Besides, in modern society, I don’t think the Zhu family can force Chu Yan to get engaged to a stranger. Moreover, isn’t the Zhu family afraid of being crushed by the army led by Chu Yan’s father?”

Beside him, Gan Yan’s eyes lit up as if he had caught on to some information.

“Lu Benwei, calm down and try to call Chu Yan first.”

Lu Benwei’s breathing gradually calmed down and he dialed Chu Yan’s phone.

“Beeping…”

“Beeping…”

...

“Hey, you still know how to call me?”

“Chu Yan?”

Lu Benwei and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
