Cataclysm King

General Lagong's eyes were like deep pools of water, and there was a sharp scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Ji Xun.

He originally wanted to shock this "outsider" who came out of nowhere.

But he didn't expect that the man in front of him seemed to be completely unaffected by his pressure.

Although he was puzzled, it disappeared in an instant.

Hearing Ji Xun's greeting, General Lagong quickly adjusted his expression, showing a smile that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and replied: "Friend Ji Xun is a handsome man. I have heard a little about your deeds, and today I see that you are indeed extraordinary."

As he spoke, the invisible pressure quietly subsided.

When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was also covered with a smile similar to the old man: "General, you are too kind."

But no one noticed that at this moment, a barely perceptible grin appeared in his eyes, and he murmured in his heart: "This old thing has the intention to kill."

Because he had been taught by Gong Wu, he had never slackened in the tempering of "intention".

This kind of extraordinary ability, which is almost like a "sixth sense", makes him very sensitive to hostility now.

Just when they looked at each other just now, Ji Xun clearly sensed the murderous intent revealed by General Lagong.

Perhaps it was not long after he advanced, and the old man's surging extraordinary power had not been perfectly controlled, so he leaked this trace of murderous intent.

Although he tried his best to hide it, others probably couldn't see anything.

But Ji Xun, who was targeted by him, clearly noticed it.

However, although Ji Xun noticed it, he was not afraid at all.

Instead, he was looking forward to something.

He was really used to being a "top strong man" in the East Wilderness, and didn't take others seriously at all?

Not to mention that Lagong was far behind Gong Wu, who relied on his own understanding of "divine power".

Even compared with the seventh-level dragon card master in the southern continent, he was still a long way behind.

This kind of enemy seemed to be just right.

Ji Xun's mind suddenly spread out.

The boring dinner finally had some fun.

Catalina on the side didn't notice the secret confrontation, but she had expected that this meeting would not be pleasant.

She would not let Ji Xun bear the pressure alone, so she cleverly put her arm around Ji Xun and introduced several other elders of the Lionheart family: "Ji Xun, this is the second grandfather, this is the third uncle."

Ji Xun also perfectly played the role of a qualified male companion and greeted them one by one.

They were all Catalina's elders, and he gave them enough face.

As for the others, Ji Xun was too lazy to pay attention to them.

But he ignored them, and the other party would not turn a blind eye.

Mick stood aside, watching the intimate look of the little daughter that Catalina had never shown on her face, with a stiff smile on his face.

The resentment and jealousy in his heart almost overflowed, but he could only swallow it hard.

Seeing that Ji Xun, his rival in love, completely ignored him, he snorted lightly, and squeezed out a sentence with a fake smile: "Mr. Ji, I have heard of your name for a long time."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Obviously, for a high-ranking noble like him, it is already embarrassing to compare with commoners.

But Catalina chose this.

Ji Xun heard the other party greet him and had already guessed the other party's identity, but pretended to be ignorant and smiled gentlemanly: "Oh? Who is it?"

In the aristocratic circle of this world, courtship is a very common thing.

You can't back down on this matter.

Male gentlemen are like fighting cocks, and they will not hide their admiration and competitive purposes even in public.

This is not impolite, but for the woman, it will be a great honor and face-enhancing thing for someone to fight for her.

However, for Ji Xun, this young Mick has never caught his eye from beginning to end.

Catalina certainly knows what Ji Xun's indifferent smile means.

Don't look at Mick's young age. He is already a major general, enough to be considered a genius among the younger generation. But in front of Ji Xun, he is really nothing.

That smile is not sarcastic at all, but it doesn't take it to heart at all.

Catalina tilted her head slightly to Ji Xun's shoulder and introduced with a smile: "Ji Xun, this is cousin Mick."

"Oh."

Ji Xun then looked like he understood and took the initiative to say: "Oh, Major General Mick, hello."

The tone was very calm, completely unlike the other party's sullen face and the struggle of forcing a smile.

But to Mick, this smile was like a mockery of the winner.

Looking at Catalina's intimate demeanor, he failed before he even started?

After all, he was young, and Mick couldn't suppress his anger, "You"

Katalina's mother, Mrs. Ingrid, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and took the initiative to smooth things over. She smiled and said to Catalina: "You young people can communicate more. Mick rarely comes to the bunker, you should also entertain the guests well."

After all, they are her own family, and she is more inclined to discuss the marriage plan long ago.

After introducing those elders, Ji Xun's mission for this dinner was almost over.

After all, Catalina is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces and the helmsman of the Lionheart Family, so there are many procedures to follow.

The protagonist of this reception banquet is still General Ragon, and she, the commander of the Allied Forces, has to give him face and discuss some military matters.

In Catalina's own words, although she doesn't like it, she can't do many things that are not conducive to unity.

After the introduction, Catalina was dragged by her mother to chat with various family leaders.

It can be seen that no one is optimistic about this marriage.

This also made Ji Xun a lonely person after Catalina left, and no one wanted to make friends with him.

He was happy to be free.

It was a banquet, so of course there was food.

Although the living environment in this world was harsh, the food was very rich.

There were many strange monsters and fruits and food in the old continent.

At this moment, a large amount of delicious food was piled on the table of the buffet dining area next to the banquet hall.

When Ji Xun came in just now, a greedy girl in his pocket couldn't hold it anymore.

Now it was just right that he had nothing to do,

so he walked straight over.

Those who could attend the banquet were all senior members of the Allied Forces, most of whom were once federal nobles. Everyone was accustomed to these exquisite foods and had no interest in them.

For them, the theme of the banquet was socializing.

In addition to drinking, few people would really sit down to eat.

This made it convenient for Ji Xun.

She found a seat on the 20-30-meter-long dining table and started eating.

Not only did she eat by herself, but she also fed Ivan who was hiding under the table from time to time.

This little Loli has spatial ability. She doesn't want to be discovered, so it's naturally difficult to be seen.

"Wow, it's delicious~"

"Mr. Ji Xun, can I have that?"

"Ji Xun, I want to eat the braised beef leg"

"."

On the dining table, a greedy girl has never been idle.

You know, these are all delicacies made by chefs from top noble families, and the taste and ingredients are top-notch.

So a strange scene took place.

The delicious food on the table disappeared strangely, one plate after another, and the bottles of wine disappeared.

At first, others didn't think it was a big deal, but soon, Ivan was so happy that he forgot the rhythm, and there were more and more empty plates on the table.

Ji Xun didn't stop it.

This girl stayed with him to a large extent because she was greedy.

Of course, she would be satisfied if she could be satisfied.

But this exaggerated appetite made the maids who were responsible for serving the dishes dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the kitchen had enough food in stock, and the plates were constantly empty and people kept replenishing them.

However, of course, Ji Xun had to take the blame for this big stomach king.

But it didn't matter at all. The noise of eating and drinking quickly attracted the attention of some people in the banquet hall.

Everyone realized that the friend brought by the commander-in-chief had an amazing appetite.

Although it is normal for extraordinary people to have a large appetite, Ji Xun was the first one to eat without caring about his image in such a high-end occasion.

It can't be said that there is much malice, just curiosity.

After all, from the moment he entered the door, Ji Xun gave everyone a very special impression.

Not bad, but special.

At this moment, on the other side.

Mrs. Ingrid was talking to Catalina, and she frowned more and more when she saw Ji Xun eating without grace.

After all, the class concept of the upper nobles of the Federation towards the common people is engraved in their bones and is difficult to change easily.

She asked: "Little Carter, when did you meet that person?"

Catalina naturally saw Ji Xun eating and drinking, but she didn't think it was bad, but smiled more brightly.

Hearing her mother's question, she responded: "A long time ago. Well, when we were in Innocence City."

Catalina actually remembered every meeting very clearly.

She thought they first met at the gambling battle in Honglou.

But later, when they chatted, she heard Ji Xun say that they first met at the gambling den of the Brotherhood, and that was when [Destiny Gold Coin] found a very special person.

She knew that was the first time.

"Innocent City?"

Lady Ingrid felt even worse when she heard the name of this place. A city full of criminals had nothing to do with the nobility. "How did you know each other? And, is that person the descendant of a certain family?"

Catalina certainly knew what this question meant.

But in front of her mother, she was always a little girl, and said truthfully: "We met by chance. Ji Xun is a very special person. He has saved my life many times. Mother, do you remember my hero trial? I would not have survived that time. Because Ji Xun saved me, your baby daughter can now stand here and talk."

"."

Lady Ingrid listened to the frown and did not show her face. She said earnestly: "Favor is favor, and some things must be separated. You are now the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, and you often have to consider the overall situation."

She knew that the intelligence about Ji Xun was the same.

That is a wanted criminal in Innocence City who may be the descendant of an exiled criminal.

The only thing to note is that this person seems to have a close relationship with a legendary master.

Gong Wu, the first martial artist in the East Wilderness, Qin, the deputy leader of the Revolutionary Army, the Thirteen Knights, etc.

But it was indeed necessary to pay attention before.

But now the Alliance Army also has a seventh-level, and with the current foundation, those masters of the East Wilderness are not so important.

"."

Katarina is very smart, she actually saw through everything a long time ago.

Talking to this point, in fact, it is because of the overall situation.

The superior is lonely, many decisions can only be known by oneself, and can only move forward alone.

After all, she is her mother, she still patiently explained: "Mother, now the Alliance Army can have a seventh-level strongman so quickly, and the mechanical drawings and production lines we obtained from the cooperation with the Song family are all related to Ji Xun. To be honest, your precious daughter not only owes him her life, but also owes him many favors that cannot be repaid."

"But."

Mrs. Ingrid listened and wanted to say something.

After all, the marriage on her mother's side has been discussed. Catalina and Mick's marriage is the best solution for the family's interests and the best solution for the stability of the alliance.

She sighed slightly and said, "Little Carter, I know you have a good relationship with that young man. But many times, if you are born in the Lionheart family, you need to make choices for the family."

"Yeah. I know."

Before she finished speaking, Catalina looked at Ji Xun in the distance, with a layer of mist lingering in her crystal eyes, and smiled and interrupted her mother to continue: "Mother, you will find that my choice is the most in line with the interests of the family. Otherwise, why do you think grandpa let me take charge of the position of the head of the family, instead of father, or other uncles?"

"This"

Mrs. Ingrid was speechless when she heard this.

As a mother, she certainly understood her daughter.

In the words just now, she heard the resounding certainty and the lion-like tyranny of the family.

Mrs. Ingrid also suddenly realized that the facts had been decided long ago, and she said it not to talk about it, but because she respected her mother.

After a pause, Catalina added: "Also, mother, you all underestimate Ji Xun. Don't think your precious daughter is pretty and has a background. But in his eyes, these will not make him look up to her at all. The reason why he and I can be friends is never because of anything else, but just because we have similar temperaments. He is very special."

"."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ingrid swallowed the words she had prepared before.

She finally realized at this moment that the daughter in front of her was no longer the proud rose blooming in the garden.

She was a superior with a mature mind.

Frowning and hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ingrid knew that she couldn't change anything. She sighed and said, "Hey, you handle it well."

Hearing her mother's compromise, Catalina's serious face was swept away, and she smiled playfully: "Well. Got it."

This reception was originally held for General Ragon.

However, the appearance of an outsider added some surprises to the banquet.

Originally, everyone thought that Catalina brought Ji Xun to the banquet to let her friend integrate into the circle of the Allied high-level officials.

After all, this is the custom of the aristocratic circle.

If you want to gain power, you must first be familiar with the power field.

However, what people did not expect was that Catalina did not mean to introduce herself at all.

And Ji Xun himself was also busy eating.

This also left some people who originally planned to watch the fun with no excuse to find fault.

Catalina is not only the commander of the Allied Forces now that she has attracted attention. Her beauty has been famous in the Federation since she was a child.

There are not only Major General Mick who admires this young lady from the Lionheart family. There are many young people attending the banquet.

But Ji Xun was busy eating the whole time. For courtesy, others could not disturb him.

Even if it was a duel, he had to wait for people to finish their meal.

However, those people were disappointed.

Throughout the banquet, Ji Xun sat at the table and ate, and he did not get up from beginning to end.

In fact, he had finished eating a long time ago.

But Ivan had a very good appetite. It was rare for him to have a full meal, so he ate freely.

Ji Xun did not want to pay attention to others, so he just kept eating.

And he also noticed that except for a few people in the whole banquet hall, most of them did not have malicious intentions.

After all, they were Catalina's subordinates, and he did not intend to make the relationship too ugly.

In this way, all the procedures of a banquet were completed.

Catalina did not let those trivial matters disturb Ji Xun, and he ate at the table all night.

The banquet was finally over.

The senior leaders of the alliance army began to disperse.

Catalina came over immediately. The fluffy skirt of the dress was not convenient for sitting down, so she stood beside Ji Xun and asked, "How was the meal?"

Ji Xun smiled and said, "Very good."

Just as she was about to reach out, Catalina took the napkin from the maid and wiped the corner of Ji Xun's mouth in person, smiling, "Then I will treat you to dinner next time."

As she said, she glanced at Ivan, who was already full and about to fall asleep in Ji Xun's pocket, and smiled mysteriously.

Ji Xun said, "Okay."

As soon as she got up, Catalina naturally took his arm.

The two walked out of the door as they came.

As they walked away, Catalina whispered, "I'm sorry to bother you tonight."

Ji Xun was the only outsider at the banquet.

To be honest, the cold stares he received this evening were not pleasant.

If it were any other guest who was a little more shy, he would have been too embarrassed to stay.

Ji Xun smiled and said, "Didn't you invite me to dinner? Not bad."

Catalina raised her eyebrows, as if she had been wronged for him, and said, "That doesn't count. I said I would receive you in person. This time, you stay a few more days, and I will arrange it!"

Ji Xun smiled and didn't care about those things at all. Just when he was about to say a few words, he sensed something and muttered, "Trouble is coming."

Catalina certainly knew what the plot was. She blinked her crystal eyes smartly and smiled, "Yes. You didn't give them a chance just now, but now they are here."

While speaking, she got closer to him, as if announcing something.

"."

Ji Xun glanced at her helplessly.

Caterina seemed very happy and said without hesitation: "In the aristocratic circle, it is a great honor for someone to duel for a girl."

As she said this, she did not forget to cheer him up with a smile: "Beat them!"

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The young lady of the Lionheart family, the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, seemed to have less and less of the burden of the arrogant personality of a superior in front of him. The little girl's attitude that she occasionally revealed made him feel quite interesting.

Before the two of them said more, several young officers in military uniforms came over.

The leader was the Major General Mick.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, they certainly would not miss this last chance.

After a few irrelevant polite words, Mick finally stated his purpose: "Brother Ji Xun, I heard that you are also a master of fighting? If you have time, let's have a fight?"

The "duel" that was a reserved repertoire of the aristocratic dinner was finally staged.

Although these young officers were arrogant, they were not stupid.

They knew that Ji Xun was a frequent visitor on the wanted list, and his strength was certainly not weak.

Among the young generation, the one who could really suppress the opponent was of course the fifth-level Mick.

If you want to beat them, beat the most ruthless one!

Ji Xun didn't know how strong he was in the eyes of these people.

But Catalina didn't know that she had advanced to the sixth level before, and these people probably didn't know either.

Looking at the roosters in front of him who were eager to beat him, Ji Xun pondered for a moment and said expressionlessly: "I'm not interested."

As soon as these words came out, the young officers were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of anger.

This guy actually didn't agree?

You know, if you care about your face, even if you are not strong enough to be beaten, you won't refuse this kind of duel, right?

This is no longer a matter of dignity, but a noble etiquette!

What they don't know is that Ji Xun didn't think so much when he refused, but he really didn't have any interest at all.

He didn't have any idea of ​​fighting with this group of people in front of him.

Mick had been holding back a lot of anger for a long time.

Hearing this, it was like a punch on cotton. He was ashamed and angry: "You"

Refusing to spar also means that the other party humiliated him!

Catalina beside him heard this, and there was a little surprise in her eyes: He refused?

The original plan was to just show some tricks and shock these arrogant geniuses.

But in an instant, she guessed that Ji Xun had a deeper meaning.

Catalina didn't say anything, still hugged Ji Xun intimately, and said with a smile: "Cousin Mick, Ji Xun just came to the base today and hasn't had a good rest yet. If there is anything, let's talk about it another day when we are free."

She helped to speak, whether it was public or private, others naturally couldn't say anything.

Kak's face was livid, and he could only snort coldly, leaving behind a word of "coward" and leaving angrily.

The smell of gunpowder dissipated immediately.

But what turned into was the misunderstanding of many people.

Watching people leave, Catalina asked curiously: "Why, no interest?"

There was no blame in her tone, but curiosity. Besides, no matter what Ji Xun chose, she would support him unconditionally.

She thought Ji Xun felt that the other party was not strong enough and was not interested.

But she didn't expect to hear another answer.

"A little bit." Ji Xun said truthfully.

Catalina listened with a look of "as expected".

However, she heard another directional voice transmission: "That guy has murderous intentions."

Catalina's expression froze slightly when she heard this, and she realized the problem.

The need for voice transmission means that there will be follow-up to this matter.

However, looking at Ji Xun's expression that never changed, Catalina felt inexplicably at ease, as if this guy had already had a comprehensive idea, just like they had experienced many times before.

This made her mind not think about the business, but think of something else.

For example, she thought that the words of "directional voice transmission" were taught to him by herself.

After a moment of silence, Ji Xun asked: "Will you be embarrassed?"

The tacit understanding between the two did not need to be made clear at all. Catalina certainly knew what he meant, and this was going to kill someone.

After thinking about it, she said calmly: "Well, it's a little troublesome. But I will handle it."

Ji Xun smiled slightly when he heard it.

There is not only one way to solve many problems.

He can think of it, and as a qualified leader, the commander of the Allied Forces can definitely think of it.

Catalina guessed Ji Xun's idea, and was not surprised at all. Instead, she suggested: "Well. Then add fuel to the fire?"

Ji Xun tilted his head and took a look: "???"

Catalina's eyes flashed cunningly, and she didn't explain, just said: "Let's go drink!"

She didn't forget to add: "We agreed last time!"

Ji Xun didn't care: "Okay."

Catalina and Ji Xun walked out of the banquet hall.

The play officially ended.

Many elders who were watching the excitement from a distance were also slightly surprised.

"Those juniors didn't fight? Hehe, that's really interesting."

"That young man's demeanor is not comparable to these guys. If they really fight, Mick may not get any benefit."

"Old Morton, you think so highly of that kid?"

"I forgot to tell you that fifty years ago, I was beaten by that kid's teacher."

"That's it? You know, Mick is a genuine fifth-level card master. According to the intelligence, that kid is at most fifth-level, how can he get any benefit?"

"Haha, I'm not optimistic about that boy. I'm optimistic about little Carter. Oh, no, I'm optimistic about the commander-in-chief's vision. Do you really think that he just found a random excuse to fool the marriage? The demeanor of that young man is the most special I've ever seen."

"The demeanor of eating with your head down?"

"Can you eat with your head down all night in that situation just now?"

"No."

"That's it."

"."
