Chapter 111: Victorious Return
“Sister Can is so thoughtful,” Ke Yajun said, taking a large bite of the rice ball, looking as if she were intoxicated by the fragrance.
The two rice balls were not large and were finished in a few bites. The two of them still wanted more. They were really hungry.
When Zhang Can’er arrived at the conference room, everyone was already there.
When Xiao Huan and Shen Fanmeng saw them come in, they immediately stood up.
“You have given us a great surprise. We originally thought you could only stop them, but we didn’t expect you to directly kill the Transmutant. On behalf of all the high-level officials of the Federation, I express my most sincere thanks to you.”
With that, Xiao Huan bowed. And the people behind her also bowed.
To be honest, Zhang Can’er was not very used to this kind of occasion and was a little uncomfortable. She held Wan Feng’s hand tightly.
She tried her best to steady her voice and said, “This is also for ourselves. There’s no need for such a grand gesture.”
“You should accept what you deserve. No matter what, you are the heroes of the main city and the military base. This is my gold and jade medal. Wearing this is like seeing me. You can freely enter and exit various places, as long as you say hello to me in advance.”
Xiao Huan took out a round medal interwoven with gold and black. It was only the size of a thumbnail, but because it was gold, it was very easy to see.
Zhang Can’er reached out and took it. She was not a pretentious person. She would still take what she deserved.
Just kidding, this was a medal personally awarded by the Federation Lord, and the authority was so high. If she didn’t take it, she would be letting down their desperate efforts.
After Zhang Can’er took the medal, Xiao Huan’s eyes darted away. She moved a little closer and asked in a low voice, “I heard from the returning soldiers that you have some kind of device that can control the Transmutant. I wonder… can we make a deal?”
Actually, many ability users had many powerful inventions. But many people were selfish and didn’t want to cause trouble for themselves, so many people would keep their things to themselves and not cooperate with the Federation.
Except for a villain like Li Yitian who could obtain them by force, Xiao Huan could only offer more money or fame to cooperate with people.
But this method was far less convenient than snatching. So, this was also why Li Yitian didn’t have many soldiers but had the right to speak. It was because of the many such inventions.
Now that Ke Yajun had such a powerful device, Li Yitian must have gotten the news long ago. Maybe he was already planning something.
So Xiao Huan was so anxious. She hadn’t even sat down before she started to talk about this matter.
After hearing this, Zhang Can’er smiled and looked back at Ke Yajun. “Your chance to make money has come.”
Ke Yajun tilted her head in confusion, not understanding. All she knew was that she was very hungry now and wanted to eat.
Zhuang Jiayuan, on the other hand, had thought through the details and smiled. “Let’s have the meeting first. It won’t be too late to talk about it after we’ve reported.”
Xiao Huan smiled and nodded, leading the four of them to their seats.
Next to them were Shen Fanmeng, Xiao Feng, and the others, as well as a middle-aged man. He was very scholarly-looking, like an old-fashioned person who liked to be immersed in books. His whole temperament was full of scholarly air. He was also wearing a pair of black-rimmed square glasses, which further enhanced this temperament.
If one didn’t know him, they would probably be deceived by his appearance and think that he was a scholarly and amiable person.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhang Can’er had seen Zhu Guangyao and knew that fat face, she would have really thought that the middle-aged man was a good person.
Anyone could guess who this person was. Li Yitian.
The Federation Lord had personally come to pick them up. How could he not come?
It was just that in Xiao Huan’s presence, he generally didn’t talk much. If he did, it was to fight for benefits.
And so, as soon as Ke Yajun sat down, someone came over and sent a box of Starshine Coins, only saying that it was a small token of the Deputy Lord’s appreciation, and then left.
Wasn’t this a bit too bold? In front of so many people, and with Xiao Huan present, he simply didn’t take anyone else seriously.
Ke Yajun was dumbfounded, but she subconsciously knew that this thing was a hot potato and could not be accepted.
So, she threw the box directly at the person who had sent it, and then shrank into Zhuang Jiayuan’s arms, asking for comfort.
“Wuwuwu, Yuan Yuan, this place is so scary. Can we go and eat?” Ke Yajun cried very softly, but everyone’s attention was now on her.
Seeing her huddled in someone’s arms and crying like a child, almost half of the people thought that Ke Yajun’s mind had a problem.
But Ke Yajun was just reacting instinctively. She had a sense of crisis in her heart, so she would huddle in Zhuang Jiayuan’s arms for protection. In addition, she was really hungry, and her mind couldn’t turn at all.
Zhuang Jiayuan sighed, chuckled softly, and glanced at the person who had been hit by the box. The smile on her face grew even wider.
“Wait a minute. We have to finish our business first. Be good.”
Ke Yajun pouted, a little reluctant. But in the end, she still had some sense. After coming out of Zhuang Jiayuan’s arms, she didn’t speak and just drank tea. There was also a plate of small desserts, which were eaten in one bite, and she still wanted more.
Zhang Can’er, on the other hand, was watching the show. She had almost laughed out loud just now. She hadn’t expected Ke Yajun to do that. It was a bit reckless, but given their current status, the Deputy Lord couldn’t say anything.
Xiao Huan watched a farce and didn’t interfere much. She signaled for Shen Fanmeng to begin.
The main content of the meeting was still centered on Zhang Can’er. She needed to talk about her experience and some details of fighting the Transmutant.
Of course, the Federation had long known that the Transmutant’s eyes were its weakness. After all, it was a federation. It was impossible not to have done this little bit of research. They hadn’t said it at the beginning, probably because they really thought that this weakness was of no substantial help to Zhang Can’er and the others.
The meeting lasted for an hour. Ke Yajun couldn’t wait at all and had someone bring her desserts.
She had asked Zhang Can’er beforehand and only dared to do so after getting her consent.
So until the end of the meeting, Ke Yajun was eating. The small plates were stacked high, and she had also taken quite a few with her.
The people sitting next to her all unconsciously moved away from her. They had really never seen this kind of person, treating the conference room as a dessert shop.
But Xiao Huan didn’t say anything. What right did they have? So Ke Yajun still ate happily.
After leaving the conference room, Ke Yajun pulled Zhuang Jiayuan and walked toward the restaurant.
Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows, held Wan Feng’s hand, and walked slowly. She smiled at Ke Yajun and said, “Aren’t you full from those cakes?”
Ke Yajun didn’t even turn her head and replied loudly, “Just those little things. I can’t be full even if I eat a hundred of them!”
With that, she took a big step and entered the restaurant. Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng also followed closely behind.
Originally, Xiao Feng had invited them to eat, but Zhang Can’er was angry in her heart, so she directly refused.
Xiao Feng was angry, but she couldn’t show it, so she had to let them leave.
Zhang Can’er knew that Xiao Feng was actually still being stubborn with her. As long as they didn’t come to apologize, Zhang Can’er would not accept any of their good intentions, nor would she actively look for them.
Her own wife, who would protect her if she didn’t? She had to let Xiao Feng and the others know how important Wan Feng was in her heart.
