Encountering the Mafia Again
The food serving speed in this Dimensional Universe is incredibly fast; even dishes like Roasted Mammoth are served in just a few minutes.
The enormous mammoth didn't obstruct the dining experience at all. The huge food space below the private room seemed to expand, making the mammoth a giant dish. You could reach for it anytime you wanted – that's the wonder of the Dimensional Universe.
The dishes arrived, and so did the wine. This time, Holly had ordered the wine, a newly brewed Daughter Red, which was quite expensive, costing millions.
"Come on, everyone, enjoy yourselves! You can also enjoy the song and dance performances below. Let me tell you, looking down at those beautiful fairies from up here is quite a unique experience!"
These martial artists had already discovered that from here, all below was a blanket of white, and the peaks where the elven beauties leaped were almost entirely visible. Some of them were so engrossed in watching that they couldn't take their eyes off them.
At this moment, a particularly beautiful Elf Clan girl stepped onto the stage.
The moment this beautiful woman appeared, a cheer erupted in the bar.
"Ling'er! Ling'er!"
"Ling'er, I love you! You're a goddess!"
Lin Zhen and the others were also drawn by the shouts and looked down.
This elven girl was indeed incredibly beautiful. Every woman in this Fairy Forest Bar was beautiful, but only Ling'er possessed true unparalleled beauty. Her delicate, willow-like figure and stunningly beautiful face naturally aroused a man's protective instincts.
Lin Zhen even saw that Holly's eyes were shining, clearly indicating that he was also a fan of Ling'er.
Many people picked up the flower petals on the table and scattered them. Each petal represented 100,000 coins, all of which were given to Ling'er.
Ling'er picked up a Microphone and waved to people she knew, even waving to Holly on the second floor, clearly recognizing her.
Holly immediately grabbed hundreds of flower petals and scattered them, then shouted, "Ling'er! I love you! Marry me!"
Ling'er smiled charmingly, said nothing, and began to sing softly.
The singing was light and melodious, like a flowing spring in an empty mountain, seemingly possessing a magical power that made people involuntarily think of beautiful things such as birds, sunshine, and flowers.
Everyone's face showed a look of intoxication.
"This Ling'er is so beautiful, who is she?" a martial artist whispered.
"Shh! Don't talk. This is the top courtesan of the Fairy Forest, the number one beauty of the Saint Demon Star Elf Clan. She's beautiful and has a sweet voice. Seven or eight out of ten people here come to see her. She earns billions just by singing a few songs every week!"
Everyone closed their eyes, immersed in Ling'er's beautiful singing. Even Tai Shan, a Titan Clan, swayed his head slightly to the music, showing that music knows no borders and transcends race.
Lin Zhen also quite liked her singing voice, but he didn't stop. He waved his knife and fork, cut off a large piece of roasted golden mammoth meat, and ate while listening, enjoying it immensely.
Lin Zhen noticed that his appetite was unusually large. He ate this large piece of meat as if he hadn't eaten anything, and immediately cut off another large piece and wolfed it down.
The others didn't have the same appetite as Lin Zhen; they were all captivated by the singing and Ling'er's beauty.
When the song ended, enthusiastic applause erupted, and flower petals rained down on Ling'er as people showered her with gifts.
Ling'er finished singing a song, she needed to rest for a bit and went backstage to prepare.
During this break, Bai Di suggested that a leader should be chosen so that everyone would follow instructions when entering the World Stone, thus fostering greater cohesion.
However, few people responded to Bai Di's suggestion. Although Holly was performing better than the others, these people were all martial arts prodigies, and it was not enough to win them over so easily.
Seeing that no one responded, Bai Di's expression changed. She put down her knife and fork and said she was going to the restroom. She went out for a while.
After a while, the sound of arguing came from outside.
Soon the people arguing arrived nearby; it was Bai Di.
Lin Zhen turned around and saw that Bai Di was surrounded by seven or eight people, some of whom were Human Race, some Elf Clan, and some Wing Clan. They were all dressed in brightly colored clothes and seemed to be about to Bai Di.
"You brat! How dare you cause trouble here? You don't take the Three Heroes Society seriously at all!"
"Kneel down and apologize right now, or we'll find your Dimensional Universe Number, go into reality, and wipe you out, exterminating your entire race!"
"Coming to Saint Demon Star and daring to be so arrogant, they really think they're something special!"
Tai Shan frowned slightly. "This is bad. Bai Di has gotten into trouble with the underworld. The Three Heroes Society is a criminal organization on Saint Demon Star, founded by a Human Race, an elf, and a Wing Clan. They are quite powerful."
Several martial artists nearby tensed up. "What should we do? Should we go help Bai Di? Is it okay to fight in the Dimensional Universe?"
Holly scoffed, "Is there even a question? We came out together, representing the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Of course we'll stand together. So what if they're gangsters? Does that mean they can bully us with impunity? What a joke! I'd like to see just how rampant these gangsters really are."
With that, Holly slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Bai Di! Come over here, let's see who dares to lay a finger on you!"
Bai Di was being pushed and shoved by a group of gangsters, looking extremely disheveled. However, he dared not go back on his own, fearing that it would bring trouble to Holly and the others. Hearing Holly's shout, he seemed to have grasped at a lifeline and immediately ran back.
The seven or eight gangsters behind him also staggered over.
One of the leading Human Race, with an arrogant expression, said, "Who's acting all high and mighty here? Daring to interfere in the affairs of our Three Heroes Society, they're asking for trouble!"
Holly stood up and sneered, "When Three Heroes Society so powerful? Has the Fairy Forest, this auspicious land, become your sphere of influence? How come the Huo Family didn't know?"
"The Huo Family? Which Huo Family?" The Human Race was somewhat taken aback.
"The Huo Family of Tianqi Star Mining." Holly said this with great pride, indicating that their family's influence was not insignificant.
At this moment, Cao Yang whispered in Lin Zhen's ear, "Their family has shares in Tianqi Star Mining Group, but they are not major shareholders. They are involved in the mining work on some Resource Planet."
Lin Zhen nodded. Tianqi Star is a large planet, and the mining group there is incredibly wealthy, developing resource planets everywhere. Anyone who can engage in this kind of industry cannot be weak; they must have considerable influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
Although the Huo Family is only a small shareholder, they should not be underestimated.
As expected, the Human Race warrior from the Three Heroes Society's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
"Are you the Young Master of the Huo Family?"
"That's right, my name is Holly. You can ask around; our mining group, which belongs to the Huo Family, has dealings with the higher-ups of your Three Heroes Society. So you'd better behave yourselves, or you'll regret it!"
Hearing Holly's righteous and stern rebuke, the members of the Three Heroes Society were somewhat frightened.
"We are so sorry, Young Master Huo, we had no idea you were here. If we had known you were our friend, we wouldn't have dared to do anything reckless, even if you gave us a million lives."
"Alright, ignorance is no excuse. You can go now, but be more careful next time."
"Hehe! Thank you for not blaming us, Young Master Huo. We'll be going now."
The martial artist led his men back a few steps, then loudly beckoned to the maids to add several more delicious dishes to their table, costing them over a million.
After the Three Heroes Society members left, Holly smiled again, "Everyone, please eat. Don't let a small matter spoil our drinking mood."
The dinner resumed, but some of the martial artists now looked at Holly with a hint of awe.
With strength and talent, and backed by a huge force, even gangsters have to give him some leeway. There shouldn't be any problem with such a person becoming their leader.
Even Cao Yang and Tai Shan showed thoughtful expressions.
Lin Zhen, on the other hand, barely stopped eating. Even while watching the show, he didn't forget to eat. He had already eaten the huge mammoth so much that its skeleton was exposed.
Bai Di glanced at Lin Zhen, then addressed the Human Path, "Does anyone still have any objections to Holly being our leader?"
Most of the martial artists agreed, except for Lin Zhen, Cao Yang, and Tai Shan, who remained silent.
Cao Yang is, after all, a person within Lin Zhen's territory, so Lin Zhen's opinion must be considered.
Lin Zhen ate another large piece of mammoth meat, then put down his knife and fork and drank a glass of wine. "Entering the World Stone will definitely involve a lot of fighting. In the end, it will be determined by each person's strength, not by their family background."
Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, Holly's expression changed. He hadn't expected Lin Zhen to be so unyielding, and he was about to explode.
But then, the melodious singing and piano music started playing again in the room.
After resting, Ling'er took out a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) and began to play and sing on the stage.
Making a scene at this moment would surely incur public wrath. Holly glared fiercely at Lin Zhen: "If my future wife weren't here, you'd be in big trouble today!"
Lin Zhen didn't care about his threat at all. He smiled, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip. Ling'er's zither playing and singing were indeed superb and should be appreciated.
Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that Ling'er's voice was somewhat similar to his wife Yue'er's, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of closeness.
The music lingered, captivating all who heard it.
Suddenly, a discordant sound interrupted the music.
A group of people walked haphazardly onto the stage, immediately drawing angry stares from everyone who wanted to see who had disturbed their fun.
However, upon seeing it, many people were so frightened that they immediately looked away.
This group numbered thirty or forty people, including Half-Beast Man, Lion Clan, Tiger Clan, and Wolf Clan.
In addition, there were some Demon Clan with purple hair and green skin, each with an extremely ferocious appearance, and their cultivation levels were almost all at the Star Stage.
On the Saint Demon Star, the Demon Clan and Half-Beast Man are two extremely warlike races. They have instigated countless wars across the planet over the years, so no one dares to offend them.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they all have a tall tower pattern embroidered on their chests.
The people of the Tongtian Tower!
The Tongtian Tower is unlike the Three Heroes Society, a small local gang on Saint Demon Star. The Three Heroes Society just a small local bully, while the Tongtian Tower is one of the four major gangs of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation, a true powerful force from across the river!
Among these Demon Clan and Half-Beast Man was a blond youth dressed in silver knight's armor, with an arrogant expression; he was clearly their leader.
Lin Zhen was taken aback. Wasn't this the person from the Tongtian Tower that he had met when he first arrived at Baichuan Star?
The blond youth waved at Ling'er on the stage and said, "You don't need to keep singing. Come down and drink with me!"
