Chapter 292: Chapter 291 Gifts
When the students around saw the flying ship in the sky, they immediately exclaimed in surprise.
“Look, that’s the Third-level Sirius arms-dealing family, the Chen family’s flying ship.”
“That one monopolizes the arms business on twenty-eight planets, the Lin family’s flying ship.”
“And there, that’s the Cheng family’s flying ship, I heard their arms business spans across fifty planets.”
“Why are so many arms dealers here for Wang Hao’s birthday!?”
“Who knows, maybe they’re just giving face to the four school principals!”
“Arms dealers giving face to school principals? Kid, are you out of your mind!? The ones who should be giving face are people from the Education Department and Military Department!”
“Well… I don’t know either!”
“I did hear some news that the second brother of the chairman of Skyfire Company is having his grand birthday celebration.”
“But what does that have to do with Wang Hao!?”
“Wait, you’re not suggesting that Wang Hao is the chairman of Skyfire Company’s second brother, are you!?”
“I just have that suspicion.”
“Wait a minute, if we put an equals sign between Wang Hao being the Skyfire Company chairman’s second brother…”
“That would explain why Wang Hao would have his eighteenth birthday celebration, but the generation seems a bit mixed up!”
“But it does explain very well why so many arms dealers came to the event.”
“Could it be that Wang Hao really is the second brother of the chairman of Skyfire Company!?”
“Who knows, we’ll find out soon enough.”
“…”
At this moment, two huge flying ships appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun.
Seeing these two flying ships, all the students instantly lost their composure, only to see the logos of Skyfire Company and the Potion Guild emblazoned on them.
“F*ck, can someone tell me what the hell is going on!?”
“Why have the Potion Guild and Skyfire Company come instead of the Military Department!?”
“I don’t know, just watch quietly!”
“…”
As one glamorous success after another disembarked from the flying ships, someone immediately went forward to collect their gifts, not giving them any chance to respond.
What puzzled them was not that the gifts were being taken away, but why three youngsters welcomed them instead of Qiu Dong’s second brother?
“Brother Wang Hao!!” A pleasant and cheerful voice rang out.
At that moment, a petite figure threw herself into Wang Hao’s arms, and looking down, he saw it was Mai Mengmeng, whom he hadn’t seen in many days.
Gazing at Mai Mengmeng’s rosy cheeks, Wang Hao teased, “Meng Meng, did you come here today planning to give yourself to me as a present?”
“Big pervert!” Mai Mengmeng made a face, then stepped back and said sternly, “I represent the Potion Guild and wish our Potion Guild’s Vice President Wang Hao a happy eighteenth birthday.”
As her words fell, the guests were instantly dumbfounded. What was going on!? Eighteenth birthday!? Had there been some mistake!? They were here to attend an elderly person’s grand celebration, not a youngster’s birthday.
Meanwhile, the surrounding students erupted into excitement.
“I’m not having ear problems, am I?”
“I feel like I’m hearing things too.”
“Hearing things my ass, that cute girl clearly said that Wang Hao is their fifth Vice President of the Potion Guild.”
“I was from the Eleventh Branch. I’ve heard that Wang Hao has strong Alchemy Talent.”
“How strong!?”
“It’s said that Wang Hao is the number one talent of the Potion Guild, with a Potion Level reaching Third-level Medicine Sect.”
“Third-level Medicine Sect? Are you kidding me!?”
“Forget about that for now. I just want to know, why would a Third-level Medicine Sect become a Marshal of the Military Department!?”
“Didn’t Wang Hao say so himself? He bought it with money from the Military Commander.”
“Man, are there really such maneuvers!?”
“I had my doubts, but after finding out that Wang Hao is the Vice President of the Potion Guild, I feel like such a maneuver could really exist.”
“That’s right, the Potion Guild is certainly not short of money!”
“……”
At that moment, Qiu Lei walked up to Wang Hao, smiling as he patted his shoulder, “On behalf of Skyfire Company, I wish our second largest shareholder of Skyfire Company a happy 18th birthday!”
Wang Hao curled his lips, “Quit the blabbering, you two families, and bring out the gifts!”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two lackeys, rolled their eyes. Their boss was indeed practical and didn’t bother to hide his shameless nature.
Mai Mengmeng stuck out her tongue and produced a contract, “This is the ownership proof of a Third-level planet. From now on, this Third-level planet is your personal property.”
Qiu Lei, with a smile, said, “I heard you want to create your own army. Grandpa asked me to bring you 10,000 sets of gear from the four great Ace Armies of the interstellar federation.”
Wang Hao’s eyes lit up. One was giving land, the other equipment. Add to that the ten thousand talents found by the four old men, and his ten thousand man Ace Army was basically taking shape.
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two lackeys, were stunned beyond belief. They were finally feeling what it meant to be part of the five great powers of the interstellar federation–rich enough to do as they pleased.
By now, the students all around were utterly dizzy, unsure of their bearings.
Marshal of the Military Department, second largest shareholder of the Skyfire Company, Vice President of the Potion Guild – each of these identities was unattainable for them.
And yet, these three identities were now concentrated on an eighteen-year-old boy. This shock was truly unprecedented.
Moreover, the Third-level planet gifted by the Potion Guild had them questioning their existence.
They were all university students too, yet they needed loans just to buy an apartment, whereas Wang Hao received a Third-level planet as a gift – how could such a disparity not make them question life?
As for the 10,000 sets of Ace Army gear gifted by Skyfire Company, they had ideas about it. How could they cling to Wang Hao’s coattails and not rise to the heavens?
But Wang Hao’s peculiar rules for taking on followers made them stop short…
When all the guests had regained their wits, the venue once again erupted.
“Damn, is this kid really Qiu Dong’s younger brother!?”
“Now that Qiu Lei has come to congratulate, we can’t well refuse to pay respects.”
“That’s right, Qiu Lei also said this kid is the second largest shareholder of Skyfire Company. We in the arms business definitely can’t afford to offend him.”
“It’s a real trap! I prepared generous gifts to make a good impression on this predecessor but ended up with a little brat.”
“Those in the arms business won’t lose out by giving gifts, but as for us, we really lost big.”
“If you think you’ve lost big, you can leave, right?”
“Leave my ass. Didn’t you hear the kid is Vice President of the Potion Guild? If we leave, do we still want to buy potions in the future!?”
“This time we really got played.”
“Since we got played, we must eat our fill later.”
“That’s right, let’s all eat together and bleed him dry!”
“Do you really feel better providing yourselves with such mental consolation!?”
“Sigh… what else can we do!?”
And just then, a waiter began placing plates of green veggies and radishes on the tables.
Looking at the scene before them, the guests were so enraged they nearly spewed blood. Not only had they been tricked, but even the meal was so miserly…
