Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The group barged directly into the luxurious and bustling television station lobby.

Many company employees glanced at them before returning to their work.

The surrounding area offers a wide variety of entertainment facilities, and many television screens broadcast various interesting scenes live.

Realizing something on Sunday, he asked, "So what are we doing here?"

Xing: "I don't know!"

Bai Heng: "I don't know!"

March 7th: "I don't know... wait, I don't know?"

"...Then why don't we wait for Ms. Emerald's information?" Sunday realized the key point.

"It's okay! We're top-notch pioneers, we just need to follow our instincts!" Xing said confidently, hands on her hips.

"Please! We can't play now, we only have five system hours left!" March 7 shook Xing's shoulders violently, trying to clear her mind.

Sunday said, "How about this, March 7th and I will contact Lady Emerald again and wait for her clues, while Xing and Senior Bai Heng can explore this place on their own first, what do you think?"

"Great idea! We're confident we can find Zaitian!" Bai Heng readily agreed.

So the group split into two, with Xing and Bai Heng embarking on a new exploration.

"Wait, Xing, I sense something's wrong!" Bai Heng's eyes narrowed, his expression becoming very serious.

"What?! Aunt Bai Heng, you have a lead so quickly?!"

"No, I smell a strong aroma of food."

"...At a time like this, let's not talk about food." Hoshino was somewhat speechless.

"This is a big problem. I'm very familiar with this aroma; it's a scent that travels from my nasal cavity all the way to my stomach, making my mouth water uncontrollably!"

"so?"

"There's only one person who can make this flavor! That's our Xiaolang!" Bai Heng said decisively.

"Huh? Is Uncle Xiao here? Wasn't he whispering with Xu Zhao?" Xing's doubts deepened.

"Let's go take a look!"

The two followed the aroma to a luxurious restaurant, but were stopped by a robot that looked exactly like "Shut Up" just as they were about to enter.

"Guests, Mr. Taravan is dining in the restaurant ahead. Please do not disturb him."

"Dining? I don't care about this or that, let us in!" Bai Heng was about to force the door open when a gentleman in an expensive suit and with an elegant demeanor appeared.

He was as elegant as Sebastian, the renowned butler among the nobility, with every inch of his beard meticulously and neatly trimmed.

"Gentlemen, please don't be impulsive. If you disturb a minister so abruptly, the issue of the vote will become very difficult to resolve."

One sentence was enough to calm Xing and Bai Heng down. So this Taravan was the minister?

"Excuse me for interrupting, but let me introduce myself. I'm Kenneth Zaita, from the [Traditional Projects Department]. This isn't the place to talk. Why don't you two follow me?"

"Are you in Tian?"

"Hehe, please allow me to explain the specifics later."

Kenneth then led the two to a quiet private room and began his speech:

"Gentlemen, I am not Mr. Tian. I am merely an adopted son who has the good fortune to have this surname."

"Then you must know where Mr. Tian is? Take us to him quickly! We have something very important to tell you!" Xing was very excited.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that. My father has already said that he will not see any lobbyists, but it seems that some people always ignore his words, which really makes me angry." Kenneth's tone was angry, as if he was trying his best to suppress his negative emotions.

"If we compare Thousand Star City to a large family, then I am its steward. Therefore, I must be aware of everything that happens in Thousand Star City and ensure that no pests enter this place. After learning that the Starry Sky Train is parked here, I also know your purpose. But unfortunately, the core of trade that my father pursued was 'respect,' which you have failed to achieve."

"Huh? Respect? We haven't even seen the person yet, how can we not show respect!" Bai Heng was very dissatisfied.

"The Strategic Investment Department, that woman known as Emerald. She secretly sent people to monitor my father's movements and life, which was a great offense to him. And she is on your side, which is why I made this conclusion."

"Ah... this is indeed our fault~" Bai Heng scratched his head awkwardly.

Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief: "I know this wasn't the Star Train's intention, so I can tolerate this offense. Ms. Bai Heng, I have great respect for you, and as a hero of the Immortal Ship, I know quite a bit about your deeds."

"Really? We're that famous? Hehehe."

Xing quickly said, "Then may we visit Mr. Zaitian? The crises of Gluttony and Nissou Paradise are lurking dangers, but they must not be dealt with by weaponization."

Kenneth laughed, "I admire the nameless guest's profound love for life and happiness, but I'm sorry, I can't do that. The core of trade is respect, and that's all I wanted to say..."

"Aunt Bai Heng, take out the jade tablet and quickly call Uncle Xiao. This guy named Kenneth isn't cooperating. Oh, right, why don't we just call Uncle Xiao over here!"

"Right, right, I almost forgot. Wait a minute, let me find Xiaolang's phone number."

Kenneth: "?"

"etc!"

Xing and Bai Heng immediately looked at Kenneth, waiting for him to continue.

Kenneth took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his sweat. He never expected that the nameless guest would be so unafraid of pressure and would just self-destruct.

Didn't anyone remind them that they shouldn't use beings of the "god" level as bargaining chips?

"Hoo—Ms. Bai Heng, your husband, the esteemed Mr. Cheng Xiao, is currently at the restaurant you were just heading to. If you wish to find him, I can send someone to guide you."

"As for the pioneer, Ms. Xing, the market development department has actually sent people to monitor your movements and plans to deceive you with a fake meeting to delay the process and prevent you from persuading my father."

As the butler of Thousand Star City, Kenneth knew almost all the information.

"Oh? Now you're cooperating? Isn't that a bit disrespectful to you? Aunt Bai Heng, why don't you let Uncle Xiao do it? Give our Mr. Kenneth the respect he deserves!" Xing said jokingly, arms crossed.

"...Pioneer, I know you are a reasonable person. Please don't make things difficult for me. My father is actually concerned about your situation, but if we rely solely on Mr. Cheng Xiao as a bargaining chip, it will only forcefully overturn the situation. That way, we can't prove the nameless guest's will at all."

"So? Mind your own business! I'm happy to do it!"

"Yeah, Xing, don't back down, we've got your back!"

Kenneth was truly at a loss; he began to regret his earlier arrogance.

"Ms. Xing, you need to demonstrate the bargaining power and strength that belongs to the Nameless Guest. Only in this way can you truly convince my father and let everyone see the Nameless Guest's will and loyalty."

"Revealing information about the Market Development Department is against my rules. If you can expose and thwart their plans, you'll prove your abilities, and I'll be able to walk away unscathed. Then I'll take you to my father's private residence."

Xing: "This is such a hassle, maybe I should..." (takes out her phone)

Kenneth: "Get reasonable, Trail Blazers!" (Exasperated)

Xing: "I need to pay more!"
