"Ahem."
Seeing that the people in the team were about to start chatting endlessly, Qin Jin quickly coughed to interrupt them.
Instantly, the few excited individuals closed their mouths and looked cautiously at Shao Yuandong.
"Hehehe, it’s fine," Shao Yuandong said nonchalantly, "I called you here because I wanted to hear about your time in Anshan City, especially anything related to Chairman Li. Please, have a seat."
He pointed to a few sofas nearby.
"Have a seat."
Han Xu, seeing them looking at him, couldn’t help but laugh.
Only then did they sit down. Shao Yuandong handed each of them a disposable paper cup and then picked up a kettle to pour water for them.
"Ch-chairman."
Qin Jin was startled, blocking the paper cup as he said, "Chairman, we’re not thirsty. Besides, if we are, we can help ourselves. You don’t need to trouble yourself."
"Yes, yes."
The others also looked flattered and surprised.
Though they knew deep down that he was partly showing off, they still felt a warmth in their hearts.
Seeing this, Shao Yuandong smiled, put down the teapot, and said, "Alright. If you feel thirsty, let me know later."
They all nodded repeatedly.
Looking at Shao Yuandong sitting in front of them, they couldn’t help feeling a sense of unreality.
Their own chairman, a renowned A-level Awakener in Juque City, was right in front of them, treating them kindly. If word got out, it would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
However, they also knew that this was not because they were amazing, but because of Li Ping.
If it weren’t for their shared experience in Anshan City at dawn with Chairman Li, this chairman wouldn’t even spare them a glance.
Qin Jin looked around and couldn’t help but ask, "Chairman, what about Chairman Li?"
"He’s gone."
Shao Yuandong saw what he wanted to ask and shook his head, "He’s been gone for a few minutes. Why, do you have something to discuss with him? He should be back in a few hours. I can have someone notify you then."
He didn’t know the exact relationship between Chen Fan and these people, so he tried to accommodate minor requests when possible.
"No, no."
Qin Jin shook his head and waved his hands, "I was just asking, there’s nothing else."
"Hehe, it’s fine. If you have something to say, I can relay it."
"No need, Chairman. We already said goodbye when we saw him last. Besides, Chairman Li is so busy, we shouldn’t disturb him." Qin Jin smiled and then asked, "Chairman, you want to know about what happened after we arrived in Anshan City, right?"
"That’s right."
Shao Yuandong nodded with a smile.
"Alright, then let me tell you..."
Qin Jin started from when they received Han Xu’s instructions.
It wasn’t long before Shao Yuandong and Han Xu both looked shocked.
"What did you say? Chairman Li foresaw the locations where the Fierce Beasts would appear and informed you in advance?"
Shao Yuandong’s eyes widened.
"Yes,"
Qin Jin had anticipated this reaction. He brushed a finger over his spatial ring, and a letter appeared in his hand.
"Chairman, this is what Chairman Li gave me back then. I’ve kept it as a memento."
He opened the envelope and took out the map inside.
Shao Yuandong and Han Xu looked at it and indeed, there were several circles with annotations.
It appeared that this matter was true.
"And then?"
Han Xu asked excitedly, "What happened next? Did the Fierce Beasts appear just as marked on the map?"
"Yes."
Qin Jin nodded solemnly, "No matter the time, place, or scale, it was precisely accurate."
"This!"
Han Xu couldn’t believe it.
Shao Yuandong also looked at the others.
"Yes, Chairman. The captain is spot on. We too were skeptical until we saw the first wave of Fierce Beasts with our own eyes."
"The subsequent waves were also exactly as Chairman Li described."
The others chimed in.
Truthfully, they still found it hard to believe.
But as those who experienced it firsthand, they knew better than anyone that it was real, all of it was real.
"How is this possible?"
Four words escaped Shao Yuandong’s mouth.
Seeing the future, what an incredible ability!
There were many Awakeners with various superpowers, but those with time-element abilities were extremely rare.
But wasn’t Li Ping’s power speed? How could he foresee the future?
"Besides this, did anything else similar happen?"
He pressed further.
This kind of thing was too incredible to grasp.
"Well..."
Qin Jin thought carefully and shook his head, "Chairman Li only assigned us this one task. After we completed it, he let us leave. Oh, I remember now!"
He shuddered, "Chairman Li must have known that the Beast Tide would attack Anshan City at dawn, so he made preparations two or three hours in advance. Chairman, could this also serve as proof?"
Shao Yuandong thought this over and found it a bit far-fetched.
Anshan City was heavily surrounded by Fierce Beasts; any reasonable person would know they would attack again sooner or later.
Moreover, as a powerful person like Chairman Li, he could easily have gone to check on the Fierce Beasts’ movements.
If the Fierce Beasts made any moves, he could sense it beforehand without needing foresight, which seemed a bit forced as an explanation.
Qin Jin and the others exchanged glances.
That was all they knew.
After all, it wasn’t as if they could just ask someone about it.
"Chairman."
Han Xu said at this moment, "I think we should pretend we never heard about this. Whether Chairman Li truly has the ability to foresee the future or not, if this gets out, it could cause unnecessary trouble for him. If it happens, Chairman Li would likely suspect it came from us."
"That’s right."
Shao Yuandong nodded.
Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.
"The same goes for you all."
He looked at Qin Jin and the others, "Even if someone asks you about this in the future, don’t say a word, understand?"
"Yes, Chairman."
They nodded hurriedly,
Someone strategically flattered, "Only to you, Chairman, would we say this. If someone else asked, we wouldn’t reveal a single word."
Shao Yuandong smiled slightly and continued, "When the Beast Tide broke out, what was the situation like? I’ve heard Old Han mention it before, but his account wasn’t as comprehensive as yours."
"At that time, it was like this."
Qin Jin described in detail everything that happened on the city walls and outside the city.
With Shao Yuandong and Han Xu occasionally asking for more details, it took over an hour to recount it all.
Some parts Qin Jin repeated three or four times, and still, they were engrossed without feeling bored.
Even after hearing it all, they wanted more.
"A pity."
Shao Yuandong slapped his thigh, "If only I could have been there to witness it firsthand."
Ancient people said, ’A single brave man can hold a pass against ten thousand enemies.’
This Chairman Li was even more ferocious; one man held back millions of Fierce Beasts, ultimately killing them without leaving a trace.
"Yeah, even if we couldn’t be there, at least having a video would have been great," Han Xu agreed.
Qin Jin and the others could only smile wryly.
Was it really as great as they imagined?
They almost died from fear back then!
Even knowing the outcome, if they had to go through it again, they would still be terrified.
