Ta Ta'er froze for a moment before he noticed that Xi Lai was also here.

"Mr. Xi Lai? Jiuzhou Group? Are you, you people from Jiuzhou Group?" Ta Ta'er exclaimed in astonishment.

An Long gently shook his head, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is An Long, and I'm the vice leader of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group. We are employed by Mr. Jiang to prepare for the protective work of the Ta Mu mining vein."

"Dragon Flame Mercenary Group?! You are from the world's third-ranked Dragon Flame?" Ta Ta'er was startled and looked at An Long with a shocked expression on his face.

"Mr. Ta Ta'er, I am Jiang Chen. Please make a phone call to Mr. Wu Yati and ask him to come over!" Jiang Chen reiterated An Long's words.

Ta De'er narrowed his eyes slightly, his face ugly as he stared at Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, is this how you ask for favors? You knocked out Mr. Li'er, killed my two guards, and now you want me to call Mr. Wu Yati over? What are you trying to do? Do you want to harm Mr. Wu Yati?"

"Harm? If I wanted to kill him, he would be dead already!"

Jiang Chen said with a cold smile, "Li'er dared to covet my sister, knocking him out is letting him off lightly. If you don't make the call to Wu Yati, I'll have to have my men bring him here!"

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

A powerful aura burst forth, Yan Hu and Mengte De'er both stood up, looking towards Ta De'er as their overwhelming presence fiercely pressed down on him.

Ta De'er's face turned instantly pale and he felt a suffocating sensation, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Yan Hu and the others.

As an Earth Grade Peak martial artist, he couldn't muster any will to resist against Yan Hu and the others, which shook him to his core.

"Paladin Knight?! How is that possible!"

Ta De'er cried out in shock; knowing that only the presence of a Paladin Knight or stronger could leave him utterly defenseless.

Thump!

Seeing that Ta Ta'er was still in a daze, Mengte De'er punched him hard in the chest, barking, "Get Wu Yati to roll over here!"

Crack!

A sound of breaking bones rang out, and Ta Ta'er's chest instantly caved in.

Spurt! Thump!

Ta Ta'er spat out a mouthful of blood and slammed hard against the wall behind him.

"I'll call! I'll call! I'm calling right now!" Ta Ta'er endured the severe pain, screaming in panic, and hurriedly took out his phone to dial.

"Beep... Beep... Hello, Ta Ta'er, have you brought the lady? Bring her directly to my bedroom; tonight I plan to enjoy myself thoroughly! Haha..." As the call connected, boisterous laughter from Wu Yati came through the speaker.

Whirr, whirr!

Hearing the voice on the phone, Mengte De'er and Yan Hu instantly erupted with intense murderous intent, staring fiercely at Ta Ta'er.

"Your Majesty! We made a mistake; that woman is the sister of Jiuzhou Group's Chairman Mr. Jiang. They are now at the top-floor presidential suite at the Fortune Hotel, and Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xi Lai are also here. They would like you to come and discuss matters related to the mining vein," Ta Ta'er trembled inwardly and spoke hastily.

"What? The sister of Jiuzhou Group's Chairman? How did they get here? And Mr. Xi Lai is also present?" Wu Yati's surprised voice came from the receiver.

Ta Ta'er's eyes flickered with urgency, "Your Majesty, please hurry over with Mr. Ao Leisi and Mr. Mu'er Ta, the persons in charge of the mining vein."

Just as Ta Ta'er's words fell, Yan Hu and the others' expressions changed. A cold glint passed through the eyes of Yan Hu and Mengte De'er, and they moved to take action.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, raised his hand to stop Yan Hu and Mengte De'er, then turned his head and whispered into Xuan Long's ear, "Take An Long, Li Wuji, and Zhang Wushang outside, and also check to see if there are any hidden experts in Long Jiang."

"Yes!" Xuan Long responded in a low voice, casting a glance toward An Long's three associates.

The four of them stood up and walked out of the room.

…

In Wu Yati's estate, within the central villa.

Wu Yati was soaking in the bath when he heard Ta Ta'er's words, and his face suddenly changed.

They had no one in charge of the Ta Mu Diamond Vein, and the two people mentioned by Ta Ta'er were Ge'er Te from the Ge'er Family and Mu'er Ta, the commander-in-chief of the Ta Mu Country's military.

One was a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouse, and the other was the number one warrior of Ta Mu Country, with Paladin Peak strength!

Upon hearing these two names, Wu Yati immediately understood that Ta Ta'er had encountered a problem, and moreover, there was a master by his side.

Furrowing his brows, Wu Yati said in a deep voice, "Of course I need to meet Mr. Jiang and his party when they arrive. How many people have they brought? I need to prepare a reception banquet!"

"Including Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xi, there are ten people in total. Four have gone out, leaving six here. With their noble status, two are Honored Guests, requiring the highest level of a hundred-men grand banquet to match!" Ta Ta'er's respectful voice came through the receiver.

Wu Yati's face changed once again as he said softly, "Alright, I got it. I will prepare the hundred-men grand banquet immediately and head over right now!"

Hanging up the phone, Wu Yati hurriedly dressed and rushed out of the bath.

"Someone come!" He reached the door of the room and yelled.

Thud thud thud!

Footsteps approached, and a young man dressed in the Ta Mu military uniform ran up to Wu Yati, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty."

"Go and call Commander Mu'er Ta immediately and have him assemble the Hundred-men Paladin Corps to stand by in the yard of the estate!" Wu Yati ordered urgently.

"Yes!" The young man's expression shook, and he replied in a panicked voice before turning and running toward the outside of the villa.

The Hundred-men Paladin Corps was the strongest troop under Wu Yati's command, made up entirely of warriors of Paladin strength, led by Mu'er Ta and directly overseen by Wu Yati himself.

This was the hundred-men grand banquet that Ta Ta'er had referred to!

Since the establishment of Tamwood Country, only when attacked by other nations would this Paladin Corps be mobilized. Now hearing Wu Yati's order to assemble the Hundred-men Paladin Corps, the young messenger was immediately shocked and his expression changed drastically!

After giving the order, Wu Yati hurried toward the villa where Ge'er Te resided, his steps slowing as he pondered.

The boss of Jiuzhou Group had arrived, and Mr. Xi did not come to the banquet but was with him. It was quite evident, they had already talked about cooperation, and they were definitely going to put pressure on him by asking him over.

And as for the two Honored Guests Ta Ta'er mentioned, it meant they had confirmed there were two Paladin bodyguards by their side. Ten people, excluding the boss of Jiuzhou and his sister, and also excluding Mr. Xi, that left seven people.

If these seven people were all of Paladin strength, there would be no need to mobilize a hundred-men corps, would there? What is Ta Ta'er implying here?

Wu Yati's brows lightly knit together, as he gradually slowed his steps.

Wu Yati wouldn't doubt Ta Ta'er's words, as Ta Ta'er was not only his personal bodyguard but also the intermediary sent by his backers to convey messages. Describing Ta Ta'er as his communicator was appropriate, and saying Ta Ta'er was his superior was also plausible.

Thinking carefully about Ta Ta'er's words, Wu Yati suddenly saw the light.

Then, he murmured softly, "A highest level hundred-men grand banquet is needed to match the guests, the implication of these words... perhaps it means not to mobilize the hundred-men corps to annihilate them but to demonstrate the strength of Tamwood. But why showcase our strength? Could it be... has Ta Ta'er thought the same as I have?"

Wu Yati's eyes moved quickly, and a meaningful smile curled the corner of his mouth as he hastened his pace toward the villa where Ge'er Te resided.
