Chapter 307: Banquet

At this moment, Su Mengli’s phone rang, it was a call from Chen Ya.

Su Mengli answered the phone, “Instructor Chen, what’s up?”

Chen Ya chuckled, “Mengli, do you and Ye Xuan have time tonight? Some businessmen in the capital are hosting a charity banquet. They hope that some outstanding young awakeners can attend this charity banquet.

If you and Ye Xuan are free, just go and have a good time. You don’t need to deliberately socialize with anyone, just go and enjoy the food and drinks, their food is quite good.”

Su Mengli replied directly, “Sure, we will definitely attend on time.”

After that, the call ended, Su Mengli said to her husband, “Honey, Instructor Chen invited us to attend a charity banquet, just to eat and drink for free. Shall we go together?”

Upon hearing the words “charity banquet,” Ye Xuan felt something was amiss.

He immediately took out his phone and called Chen Ya, ” Instructor Chen, who organized this charity banquet?”

Chen Ya replied, “Why are you suddenly interested in this? The organizer of the banquet is Qi Dongqiang, the liquor tycoon of our China.”

Upon hearing this name, Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. Qi Dongqiang, the liquor tycoon?

Does this mean that chaos will start in the capital from tomorrow’s banquet?

In the previous life, the chaos caused by the Spider Emperor in the capital was widely publicized by the authorities afterwards, so Ye Xuan was also very clear about the whole incident.

Liquor tycoon Qi Dongqiang hosted a charity banquet, and at the banquet, after drinking too much, Qi Dongqiang invited a lady in red to dance.

The lady in red was not interested in Qi Dongqiang, she was looking for her prey, not interested in trash like Qi Dongqiang.

However, Qi Dongqiang persisted and even slammed his glass heavily on the table in front of the lady.

Pointing at the lady in red, he questioned her, “Are you disrespecting the King of Liquor? Do you believe I can make it difficult for you to move an inch in China?”

Qi Dongqiang was aware of the backgrounds of the distinguished guests, he dared not provoke top awakeners.

And this lady in red was obviously not a powerful awakener, that’s why he dared to say such things.

The lady in red, who was originally looking for prey, was furious. She transformed to Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor, selecting high-quality prey at the banquet, preparing to devour them. But she was provoked, how could she endure it?

The lady in red walked up to Qi Dongqiang, as if she was really going to dance with him, and Qi Dongqiang smiled triumphantly.

However, when the lady in red reached Qi Dongqiang, she suddenly opened her mouth wide.

Her mouth, in an instant, grew larger than Qi Dongqiang’s head, and then she bit down on Qi Dongqiang’s head, swallowing it without much chewing.

At that moment, when his head was swallowed, the lady in red’s belly bulged, indicating that Qi Dongqiang’s head took up quite some space.

After that, chaos erupted at the charity banquet. Some awakeners present tried to kill the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor.

But its methods were too mysterious, it could shapeshift, create illusions, and even turn invisible.

The scene was in chaos, awakeners who originally wanted to find the lady in red suddenly found that she disappeared, and the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor transformed into one of their friends, launching a sudden attack.

The Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor’s methods were best suited for sneak attacks. The more chaotic the scene, the more people there were, the more difficult it was to deal with.

There were heavy casualties at the banquet, according to Ye Xuan’s observations from the previous life, Long Hanjie should have been at the banquet.

However, Long Hanjie didn’t stay long at the banquet in the previous life. He left with a woman he fell in love with on the spot, went out to a hotel, and didn’t get involved in the subsequent events.

After the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor disappeared from the charity banquet, it caused several more killings in the capital, leaving people in fear.

As it liked to eat the heads of its victims after killing them, it was easily blamed for the murders.

Later, it was killed by an SS-class psychic ability user. After a celebration, that SS-class user was killed by another Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor.

The second Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor was more discreet, leaving no trace of its victims. So, until Ye Xuan’s rebirth, that Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor seemed to still be alive.

In this life, Su Mengli had once burned a guy with shapeshifting abilities and handed over a Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor egg.

Now that egg was being researched and posed no threat.

But now Ye Xuan wasn’t sure if the chaos caused by the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor in the capital would happen again.

The egg being researched could be one of the two Thousand-Faced Spider Emperors Ye Xuan knew about, or it could have no relation to them at all. Anything was possible.

Regardless, Ye Xuan had to be extremely cautious. The Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor’s direct combat ability might not be excessively strong, but its survival skills and elusiveness were exaggerated. Being overly cautious was not a bad idea.

Especially in a mixed gathering like tomorrow’s banquet, with ordinary people, awakeners, and a Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor, it was quite challenging.

Of course, directly asking Chen Ya to stop the banquet had no meaning, it would be like burying one’s head in the sand.

If the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor truly existed, it would continue to harm people regardless of the banquet tomorrow. In fact, without the banquet, it might hide even deeper and cause more harm in secret.

If such a creature truly existed, it might be better to take it down during tomorrow’s opportunity!

The Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor’s direct combat ability was ultimately lacking. If he and Mengli were present tomorrow and prepared in advance, they might be able to take down the Thousand-Faced Spider Emperor with minimal casualties.

Thinking about it, Ye Xuan said, “We will attend the charity banquet tomorrow on time.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s cryptic words, Chen Ya asked curiously, “Do you have something on your mind?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “I do have something, but I can’t be sure right now. I’ll see how things go tomorrow.”

If the egg being researched in the lab was the troublemaker from the previous life, then perhaps nothing would happen at tomorrow’s charity banquet. Therefore, Ye Xuan couldn’t jump to conclusions prematurely.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ya chuckled, “Young people these days are so mysterious.”
