Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!-Chapter 940 - 509: Family Meeting
Chapter 940: Chapter 509: Family Meeting
Daphne is coming? Chen Qi turned to look.
Amidst the creaking sound of the opening door, everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the neat formation at the entrance.
Appearing inside the theater was a squad dressed in white-yellow uniforms, the Queen Bee’s unit.
"Please make way!"
The sound of boots uniformly stepping on the ground.
Everyone was startled; appearing here was none other than the Queen Bee Hunter Squad’s leading team.
"Poison Bee Aileen, Worker Bee Tyrone, they’re actually here..."
"Leading a Hunter Team into the association, isn’t that inappropriate?"
"That’s Daphne. She does as she pleases."
"Daphne sister, I love you!"
Everyone obediently made way.
The entire Queen Bee Hunter Squad has over ten Fourth Rank Transcendents; they even joined forces to kill a calamity beast with Fifth Rank strength.
In Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, only a Titan or Beast of Calamity can mobilize this formidable team.
Leading at the front was the dazzling woman in formal attire, Daphne of the Golden Canary Family.
"Sister, long time no see..."
Ivver deliberately emphasized the term ’sister,’ seemingly unhappy with the title.
Daphne ignored Ivver, saying softly yet emotionlessly:
"Brother, any leads?"
Lai Te shook his head:
"Sorry, Ivver and I have already investigated the coast of Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, and haven’t seen a hunter with peak Fourth Rank strength."
Daphne’s eyebrow lowered;
"I understand, brother, lead the way."
"Everyone, please follow me."
Lai Te extended his hand towards the crowd.
After speaking, he led the family’s internal members through the corridor.
Daphne... Chen Qi touched his chin, glancing at Daphne.
Still can’t find it, is it truly just a dream? Daphne shook her head.
Now she couldn’t help but doubt whether that night’s dream was not the power of the crack, but her imagination.
Hmm, when did the family gain two Fifth Ranks?
Fatigued, Daphne’s eyes slightly shifted, their gaze landing on Chen Qi.
"!?"
Daphne’s pupils shrank.
The person before her seemed somewhat similar to the man in her dream...
Daphne rubbed her eyes.
Another one... Fen blocked Chen Qi’s figure:
"Daphne sister, hello."
Daphne hadn’t reacted yet, nodded:
"Hmm..."
Better to wait until the meeting ends before talking... Chen Qi thought.
Previously, he had only seen Daphne in the crack.
Chen Qi still didn’t know Daphne’s specific purpose for seeking her.
Exposing identity in front of so many people wasn’t a good choice.
After greeting, Chen Qi took Fen’s hand and followed the squad.
The person I’ve painstakingly been searching for just appeared so simply...
But isn’t he Fourth Rank? Not a pirate? Daphne thought.
In her memory, that person was only a gifted sacrifice.
Why would that person appear here?
In the dream, that person was a sacrifice.
Appearing directly in the Art Capital was akin to a sacrifice running to the altar.
"Captain, what’s wrong?"
A Queen Bee team member asked.
"Nothing, stay on standby here."
Daphne repressed the questions in her heart and followed along.
Under Lai Te’s guidance, they passed corridor after corridor.
"Everyone, please follow me down."
Lai Te twisted a mechanism, opening the path to the basement.
"Basement?"
Curiosity flickered in Fen’s eyes.
"What’s wrong, Fen?"
Chen Qi asked while walking.
Fen said:
"Our family hasn’t held a meeting in the basement for quite a while."
Chen Qi glanced around at everyone.
Others shared the same thoughts as Fen.
Under Lai Te’s lead, they arrived at the lowest meeting room.
Even underground, it’s still luxurious... Chen Qi crossed the golden door.
Lai Te stepped forward, instructing the guards at the door:
"From now on, don’t let any outsiders appear before you."
"Understood."
Chen Qi entered the conference hall.
The conference hall featured a gigantic round table, with fifty seats in total.
At this moment, exactly fifty people were present at the meeting.
Chen Qi casually scanned.
It could be said that nearly all the prominent figures of the Golden Canary Family were present.
At the main seat of the hall, the man in a black tailcoat stood up and clapped his hands:
"My children, please take your seats."
The man before them had hair half-white, with wrinkles resembling tree bark, looking entirely fatigued, giving off an extremely serious impression.
This person was the clan leader in charge of all affairs of the Golden Canary Family.
Under the clan leader’s command, everyone sat according to their rank.
"You two, take the tenth and eleventh seats."
The clan leader said to Chen Qi and Fen.
The family member ranked tenth widened his eyes and nodded.
Eleventh... Chen Qi sat down.
The order of seating represented their ranking. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Ten..."
Fen nodded.
Previously she had defied the family’s orders, yet upon returning, she directly became the tenth-ranked member.
After everyone was seated, the clan leader stood, rubbing his forehead:
"Everyone, I deeply apologize for gathering all of you at this time."
"However, I have no choice. Our family is currently facing an unprecedented crisis.
We must rely on all your strengths to get through this crisis."
Rank five family member Dragon Knight Art asked:
"Clan Leader, what exactly is happening? You know, I gave up hunting a Dragon King for this meeting."
The clan leader took out an old photo, pondering:
