534: Chapter 415: The Meeting Gift 534: Chapter 415: The Meeting Gift In the meeting room, as Hu Hu’s statement was made, everyone present turned their attention to the three Star Guards, waiting for their response.

But the next second, something shocking happened.

The three fully armed warriors suddenly emitted a faint light before bursting into ashes like dissolution, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

“What, what’s happening?

Where are they?”

Liu Jinheng, with a startled expression, walked over to where the Star Guards had disappeared and looked around for quite some time, but he found no clue.

Several guards, who had been hiding in the shadows from the start, also came out, each wearing a baffled expression.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hu Hu began to ponder with a look of speculation.

Suddenly, the dedicated communication cell phone in his pocket rang.

He hurriedly took it out to see the incoming call displayed as an empty number.

Hu Hu frowned for a moment, then seemed to realize something.

He quickly pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

“Minister Hu, hello.”

From the other end of the phone, a man’s voice came through.

Hu Hu’s countenance suddenly became agitated and he said, “Lord, may I ask if the warriors just now were sent by you?”

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, followed by a voice.

“Correct, the people just now were puppets I summoned, so they cannot respond to your questions.

I ask for your forgiveness.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Hu looked pleased, thinking to himself that his guess was indeed correct.

These warriors in armor were not human beings; they were similar to summonings.

This point was something he had already speculated upon after seeing the video footage of Lord Sword Immortal previously.

In the video, the gestures demonstrated by the warriors holding long spears were just like the puppets in movies.

“Then, may I ask, Lord, concerning my proposal just now, would you consider accepting it?”

Hu Hu got straight to the point, asking the question that concerned him the most.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t beat around the bush, and replied immediately.

“Combating Alien Species is our common goal.

We will spare no effort in clearing out the monsters underneath Sheep Village.”

Hearing this response from the phone, the few people in the meeting room all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the other party was willing to take action, things would be much easier to handle.

Although they still didn’t understand much about this mysterious organization, they were at least sure of the organization’s capabilities.

Everyone present had witnessed the battle against the Emperor Vine at the Three Institutes before.

The giant plant rootstock that emerged at the end, as tall as a pillar to the heavens, was something they felt they would never forget in their lifetimes.

“Having your words, Lord, reassures us.

May I ask how your organization is addressed, and if it’s convenient for you to meet in person for a chat?

Perhaps we could engage in deeper discussions about combating the monsters together.”

Hu Hu tentatively voiced his thoughts.

Again, there was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the response:

“The name of the organization is ‘Star Alliance’, and you may call me ‘Ji Xing’.

As for face-to-face discussions, please forgive us for not being ready at this time.

When the time is right, I’m sure there will be a day when we can meet.”

Hu Hu was rejected once more, but he wasn’t discouraged; these were all within his expectations.

On the contrary, he felt quite satisfied this time.

The other party had not only disclosed the name of their organization but also revealed their identity, which was very beneficial for future communication and contact.

“Then, may I ask Lord Jixing, could you leave a way to contact you, to facilitate future communication with us?”

Liu Jinheng spoke up from the side.

“Yes, and regarding the detailed matters of combating the underground monsters, we will hold a meeting to discuss shortly.

May I inquire if your side has any plans, or if there’s any area where cooperation is needed?”

Hu Hu asked as well.

“The two of you, please be patient.

I have prepared some small gifts for you, which will be delivered to the playground here shortly.

The contact information for Star Alliance will be included with them.”

“As for the detailed plans, our organization needs to conduct an internal investigation first, so I apologize for not being able to inform you at the moment.

The monsters in Sheep Village are just the first batch; there will be more and more such situations in the future, so I hope you are prepared…”

“All right, we’ve talked enough for this time.

I must leave now, but I believe we will meet again.”

With the last farewell, the call came to an end.

The few in the meeting room looked at each other, digesting the content of the last statement.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door, and a warrior from the Azure Dragon Army said:

“Commander, we found a box on the playground just now.

Captain Wang sent me to report this!”

“A box?”

On hearing this, everyone snapped back to reality.

Wasn’t the one who claimed to be Ji Xing talking about a box on the playground?

Liu Jinheng immediately gestured with his hand, “Go!

Let’s go see!”

The group quickly made their way to the nearby playground.

By then, a crowd had already formed around the object, with everyone careful not to get too close, fearing it could be some kind of bomb.

As Hu Hu and the others approached, the surrounding warriors made way for them.

A squad leader ran over and saluted them.

“What has happened?

Where’s the box?” Liu Jinheng asked.

The squad leader guided everyone forward a short distance to the front of the crowd and pointed to a black box on the ground:

“Commander, here’s the box.

When we were training just now, someone noticed that a box had suddenly appeared here, out of nowhere.

We checked it with equipment, but there are no signals detected.”

“You said it appeared suddenly?”

“Yes, we were running nearby, and I’m certain that there was nothing here originally.

But when we turned around, it was just there, as if it had materialized out of thin air…”

Liu Jinheng nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.

I’ll take care of the box.”

The squad leader still seemed a bit uneasy and said, “But Commander, even though no signal was detected, we can’t rule out the possibility of danger.

Should I let the brothers conduct a remote test first?”

Liu Jinheng waved his hand, “No need, I know what’s in the box.

Tell the brothers to go back to training.”

“Roger that!”

After the squad leader saluted, he took the crowd away.

Hu Hu and the others collected the box.

They had arrived hastily and left just as quickly, now holding a small, completely black box with the Seven-pointed Star engraved on it.
