Qualified Allies

8 p.m., World Cyber Alliance's Hua Capital Headquarters—

In the familiar meeting room, all the various strategic representatives had arrived, except for the initiator.

This meeting was initiated by Long.

The main agenda was about the matter related to the recovery of the Lava Beast mecha on Mount Fu and the emergency measures to deal with this situation.

Because Long had not arrived yet, the meeting room was filled with chatter.

"Idiot! Look at this video. That giant bear mecha was taken away by this man, so we must have been deliberately sabotaged by that man!!"

"He's breaking the rules!"

Welldeep was furious.

It was not an exaggeration to say that his hometown had been destroyed by this giant bear mecha!

Moreover, it was not only his hometown. Their entire island was already in dire straits.

Other than the local official mecha troops, the other cyber people had all fled to various countries in the world.

This led to the mecha beasts that were originally suppressed to rush into the residential area and massacre the unarmed ordinary humans.

This caused the already small island to shrink further. The population was only one-tenth of what it was before!

The only thing that had not fallen was their First City.

Therefore, Welldeep, who was stationed at Huaxia's headquarters, was extremely furious.

Although he hated Long for not sending troops back then, he hated Lin Chen most for releasing the giant bear mecha!

He had come to the meeting this time to question Long, hoping he would give them an explanation!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Stick Country's representative, Kim Handsome, suddenly smacked his lips.

"Mr. Welldeep, what's the use of saying this now? Why didn't you stop it back then?"

"In Huaxia's words, aren't you being belated?"

"Kim Handsome! What do you mean by this!"

Kim Handsome's words were no different from adding fuel to the fire, making Welldeep extremely angry. He even touched the nano platform on his arm and was about to summon his mecha.

"Welldeep Sir, have you forgotten where we are?"

Joseph, who was sitting at the side, said calmly with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Joseph Sir. I was rash!"

Like a child apologizing to his parents, Welldeep lowered his head and apologized. He glared at Kim Handsome from the corner of his eyes.

Stick Country and Choebon were like two half-brothers. They had always been at odds with each other. If it were not for the parent Big Beauty Country, they might have started fighting in one night.

Of course, Joseph was not speaking up for Huaxia. He was afraid that the two idiots would fight and both sides would suffer.

If this went on, there would be at least one less tool in the future.

Of course, he was not biased toward either. He looked at Kim Handsome.

"Also, Kim Sir, you shouldn't laugh at Welldeep. You have to know that the battle in the afternoon also affected you. Are you also laughing at your own family?"

Joseph's intent was very clear. He was trying to sow discord.

Everyone present was very clear about this, but Kim Handsome's expression turned ugly when he heard that.

At this moment, the sound of the doorknob twisting came from outside the meeting room.

"Yo, everyone, you're early."

The door of the conference room was pushed open and Long walked in in his uniform. He had a smile on his face and looked very pleased.

"Long Sir, it's already ten past eight. As the initiator of the meeting, aren't you disrespecting us a little too much?"

As soon as he came up, the indignant Welldeep began to speak sarcastically to vent his displeasure.

Long did not bicker with him and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. I went to pick up a very important person just now, so I was delayed."

"Pick someone up? How is that a reason for being late?" Kim Handsome asked in dissatisfaction.

However, Long did not say anything. Instead, a voice came from outside the door.

"Could it be that you can't even wait if I'm late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen walked in and stared at Kim Handsome who had questioned him.

When Kim Handsome saw his face, he forced himself to swallow his words.

Kim Handsome was not the only one. All the country representatives present were suddenly stunned!

Lin Chen!

The person Long invited was actually Lin Chen?!

Seeing that Kim Handsome did not dare to make a sound, Lin Chen asked again,

"Sir, do you have any objections? Or do you not welcome me?"

Kim Handsome was stunned.

'Any objections?'

Yes, he did have an opinion.

However, he had watched the battle from beginning to end!

The size of Lin Chen's mecha was definitely not something he could match.

Especially for their Stick Country, the strongest cyber person in their country was just a tank that was eliminated by the Big Beauty Country.

Its combat strength was at most an A-grade mecha beast. It could not compare to Lin Chen at all.

If it was not for the fact that the troops of the Big Beauty Country were stationed in Stick Country, they would have been long gone.

Therefore, he did not dare to have any objections!

"No… I wouldn't dare. Of course you're welcome. Mr. Lin, you can come whenever you want!"

This was the law of the jungle!

The weak would be scolded and beaten. Everything the strong did was right, especially in the apocalypse!

There was no need for Lin Chen to be polite with these weaklings!

Hence, Kim Handsome did not dare to voice his anger.

"Okay, it's good that you have no objections." Lin Chen nodded and walked to the conference table. He found a random seat and sat down.

Long hurriedly pointed to his own seat.

"Mr. Lin, your seat is here."

Lin Chen glanced at it and waved his hand.

"Captain Long, I'm not participating in the meeting. Why should I sit at the head of the table? Just say what you have to say."

He was just here to make the number.

Otherwise, some people might use the commotion he caused today to make an issue out of it.

Long nodded and did not say anything else.

Then, the meeting began as Long took his seat.

This meeting had been initiated because of the damage caused by the S-grade Lava Beast mecha.

Therefore, Welldeep, the representative of Choebon, which had suffered the most damage in this battle, was naturally the first to voice his opinion on behalf of Choebon.

"Long Sir, you should know that because of the appearance of that huge beast, the population has plummeted, the country has declined, and many people have been displaced."

"I've long heard that your infrastructure is developed, so I want to ask if your country can help us?"

Welldeep originally wanted to suggest sanctioning Lin Chen again.

But Lin Chen was there. If he said it, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Faced with Welldeep's request, Long spread out his hands. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Welldeep. I think we need to wait and see. After all, we need to rebuild this place."

His intention was clear. He was not going to help. He was determined not to help!

Welldeep panicked when he heard that.

"Mr. Long, you…"

But before he could say anything, Lin Chen, who had been playing with his phone, suddenly spoke.

"Captain Long, isn't it our principle to help when in trouble?"

When Long heard this, although he was very surprised, he immediately nodded.

"Yeah, that's exactly our principle."

Welldeep was equally surprised.

This Huaxia kid was actually speaking up for their Choebon. Could he be a long-lost friend??

But Lin Chen immediately said,

"However, the principle of our help is only applicable to our allies."

"If the party isn't our ally, I'm afraid it won't receive any assistance, Mr. Welldeep."

Lin Chen looked at Welldeep teasingly. He had known since he was young what shame and honor were.

In his mind, helping one's former enemy was a humiliation!

How could Welldeep not understand what he meant? He broke his defense directly.

He slammed the table in anger.

"Lin Chen! Idiot! Don't go too far!"

At this moment, Joseph stood up and looked at Lin Chen.

"If you guys are so petty and won't let go of the past, then I think it's better for me to withdraw from the World Cyber Alliance."

Joseph had long wanted to leave this organization. His thinking of claiming himself as king was deeply rooted.

If a certain world organization was not led by them, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Moreover, he thought that threatening Long would change their attitude, but Long smiled and pointed at the door.

"Be my guest."

This made Joseph clench his fists tightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

Since he had already said such harsh words, wouldn't he lose face if he didn't leave?

"Alright, Long Sir. Remember the decision you've made now. You'll regret it!"

After saying that, Joseph left the meeting room without looking back.

Upon seeing this, some of the allies of Big Beauty Country also left, including Choebon and Stick Country.

Especially Choebon, Lin Chen had waited impatiently for this.

As for the remaining people, they all wanted to be on good terms with them.

Seeing those people leave, Lin Chen also stood up from his seat and patted Long's shoulder.

"Captain Long, the matter we agreed on has been settled. You can handle the rest yourself. Then, the energy I requested, can you see…"

Long smiled and took out a card from his pocket and placed it in Lin Chen's hand.

"I've already instructed the soldiers in the energy store. Just take my card and go get it."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. He kept the card and nodded.

"Alright, Captain Long, please carry on. I'll leave first."

With that, Lin Chen left the meeting room without looking back.

After Lin Chen left, Long's smiling face immediately turned serious. Then, he said to the people in the meeting room,

"Everyone, in four days, there will be an apocalyptic beast tide…"
