Chapter 247 The Great Elder Visits Late at Night
Duan Ming was startled by the words of the president of the Superpower Alliance.
Yes! Although Duan Ming has experienced many hardships along the way, it has been relatively smooth overall, so smooth that Duan Ming takes it for granted.
"When I was young, I was just like you now, thinking that everything was in my hands, but I never thought that I was never the chess player in this game, just a chess piece that occasionally shines."
Watching the president return to his position with a lost look, Duan Ming lowered his head and remained silent.
"What? Did you know such a cruel truth and can't accept it?"
Duan Ming still lowered his head, and his voice was a little weaker, no longer as "arrogant and domineering" as before.
"Why choose me?"
Duan Ming's question is actually a double entendre. He is asking why he was chosen as the junior president, and why he was chosen to participate in this game.
The president smiled bitterly: "Oh! Choose you? No one who enters the chess game is innocent, so isn't this your own choice?"
Listening to Jun's words, it was like a revelation!
Duan Ming suddenly raised his head and stared at the president's eyes. There was no more confusion in his eyes, and determination reappeared on Duan Ming's face.
"If I become the junior president, how will you help me?"
The president threw the token that Duan Ming had thrown on the table back to Duan Ming.
"In fact, the main purpose of this meeting is to determine your position as the junior president of the Superpower Alliance. As long as this is passed by the meeting, my Superpower Alliance will fully support you. The Earth Alliance dare not tear its face with us for the time being. Taking this opportunity, you can continue to cultivate your power in space."
Duan Ming understood that he had no choice.
"I will accept this token first, but this does not mean that I agree with you. I hope that this meeting can be successfully completed as you wish."
After that, Duan Ming turned and walked out of the house, but the president's voice came from behind him again.
"Times make heroes. What Lao Tang and I failed to do back then, now it's up to you. I hope you can break free from the shackles of fate and become the unique chess player one day!"
After leaving the house, there were more people watching outside the yard. The fact that Duan Ming slapped Yingzi had long been spread in the village. Everyone wanted to see the demeanor of this young president.
When passing by Yingzi, Duan Ming stopped.
"I'm sorry about what happened just now."
Hearing Duan Ming whisper this to him, Yingzi's body trembled. As a young president, Yingzi would not blink an eye even if he slapped him, let alone took his life.
Looking at Duan Ming walking out of the yard with doubts, a smile appeared on his face under the mask. Such a young president is really "interesting"!
Duan Ming no longer put the sign back into his trouser pocket, but instead tied it around his waist with a rope.
Seeing this sign that symbolizes identity, everyone made way for him. There was curiosity in their eyes when they looked at Duan Ming, but more of respect.
In the next two days, the three Heat took turns guarding outside Duan Ming's room. Only the Elder of Medical Saint came to Duan Ming once to discuss Nick's matter.
It was getting dark, and Duan Ming was preparing to rest early to prepare for tomorrow's meeting, but there was a knock on the door.
Duan Ming frowned slightly. If it was the three Heat, they would definitely not say a word when knocking on the door. The knocking maintained the same frequency, neither fast nor slow.
Walking to the door and opening it, Duan Ming saw a middle-aged man in his early fifties.
He was muscular and blocked Duan Ming's entire sight.
"Are you Duan Ming?"
Facing the stranger's slightly provocative question, Duan Ming did not answer but asked instead.
"Where are the Heat?"
The man laughed twice and stepped aside. Duan Ming saw that the three Heat were lying on the ground beside him. Although they had lost consciousness, they were not injured.
"You have a visitor, why don't you invite me in to sit down? Young Chairman?"
The man emphasized the three words "Young Chairman", as if Duan Ming's identity was just a joke in his eyes.
Having roughly guessed who the visitor was, Duan Ming calmed down his emotions, turned around and walked back to the room. Without any invitation, the man followed him in without being polite.
Just as the man was preparing to sit on a chair, Duan Ming spoke.
"The meeting will not start until tomorrow. Isn't the elder a little too hasty?"
Before he sat down, the man paused, and when he looked up at Duan Ming again, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"The head of the Duan family is indeed as the rumors say. Although he is young, he is thoughtful and a great man."
If Duan Ming had been evaluated like this by the elder of the Superpower Alliance in the past, he might have felt honored, but after two days of thinking, Duan Ming's attitude towards the elder at this moment was only vigilance.
"Relax, I don't even bother to attack a junior. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to wait until now."
Duan Ming didn't think that the elder was being arrogant. From the faint aura emitted by the elder, he could feel that if the other party wanted to attack him, he would have no chance to resist.
"I wonder why the elder came to see me tonight?"
Duan Ming poured two glasses of water, walked to the elder and handed him a glass, and asked.
Taking the water cup, the elder shook his head slightly displeased: "He is indeed the one he selected. Even the way of entertaining guests is the same cliché! Can't you prepare some wine?"
Duan Ming was stunned, and then he understood what the elder meant.
The two times he went to see the president, the other party poured him a glass of water, but he never thought that Duan Ming also made the same move.
I really don't know whether to say that the closer you are to the red, the redder you are? Or the closer you are to the ink, the blacker you are!
"Is beer okay?"
The elder who was just about to drink a sip of water heard Duan Ming's question, and his eyes were more admiring.
"It's best to be iced!"
Duan Ming's room has everything. He took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and threw one to the elder.
The elder opened it and drank it all, and his face immediately turned a little red.
"You are better than him in this respect! It suits my taste!"
People say that true feelings are revealed after drinking. It turns out that this elder is also a person of temperament!
"Another can?"
The elder shook his head, his expression becoming serious.
"No, people tend to get sleepy when they get old. Let's finish the business as soon as possible so I can go back to sleep!"
Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm all ears."
"My purpose in coming to you is very simple. I just have one sentence. Hand over the token at the meeting tomorrow. You are not qualified to be the junior president of my superpower alliance now!"
