Every eye in the room turned toward the conference room door.
The first person to enter was Meng Die.
"Elder He, the outsiders have arrived!"
The moment she spoke, a flash of anger lit up the eyes of everyone else in the conference room.
They had all been waiting here for almost an hour.
And now, these outsiders were finally sauntering in.
Old He's expression darkened as well, his face devoid of any trace of a smile.
Just as Meng Die returned to her seat,
A blond-haired man led the way in.
Several other outsiders filed into the conference room behind him.
They all wore slight smiles.
The blond man at the head of the group smiled and said, "My sincerest apologies. We were held up by a few things. Sorry to have kept you all waiting."
When he finished, a slight smile touched Old He's grim face.
"Not at all. We just arrived ourselves."
"The agreed-upon time is in two minutes, so you've arrived just in the nick of time."
