The Student Union's Six Powerhouses

Inside a luxurious conference room at Star City University, nearly all of the university's current Student Union powerhouses were present.

There were also two outsiders who looked rather imposing. They seemed able to stand on equal footing with the Student Union's powerhouses, and even seemed to have the upper hand.

The two groups had evidently gathered for a meeting, but it seemed they were still waiting for someone to arrive.

After waiting about ten minutes, the two outsiders began to look impatient. They kept glancing at their watches, their displeasure plain to see.

One burly man from the Student Union said irritably, "What the hell is Kuang Jinlong up to? He's got quite the nerve, making us wait. That's bad enough, but our honored guests' time is precious. How can he be so clueless?"

He spoke gruffly, and though he seemed to be criticizing Kuang Jinlong, his tone held a faintly ingratiating edge toward the two outsiders.

Once he broke the silence, someone immediately echoed him.

Of the five Student Union powerhouses present, two besides the burly man chimed in.

The remaining two seemed not to hear them at all. They sat in their seats like monks in meditation, completely indifferent to the racket in the room.

The two outsiders evidently sensed the subtle tension in the room. They couldn't help taking a few extra looks at the two Student Union powerhouses who hadn't joined in.

One of the two silent powerhouses was a woman. The other was a slim, bespectacled young man with a mild-mannered air. Neither seemed like the sort to cause trouble, but they clearly weren't the type to suck up to people, either.

All six Student Union powerhouses were there except Kuang Jinlong.

They were obviously waiting for him.

The meeting couldn't properly begin without him.
