Chapter 391 Who wants to come forward and claim it?
For the many top figures present today, the name Night Song has indeed given them one astonishing shock after another over the past few years.
Eight years ago, when Night Owl announced that Night Song would temporarily take over the Night family and become the acting patriarch, these bigwigs were all surprised.
Regardless, letting a ten-year-old boy take over such a large family is simply too childish...
But the expansion of the Ye family's power and the speed of development in the Southern Territory over the years have been enough to amaze and impress everyone.
The first words Ye Ge uttered on the banquet stage silenced the many powerful figures in the audience, who exchanged bewildered glances.
"I hope that those who are here today will be friends of the Ye family in the future, not enemies."
At first glance, these words seem harmless, but in reality, they carry a somewhat intimidating and aggressive tone.
The main point is that almost no one would say something like that, which sounds like a show of force, on such a joyous occasion.
The bigwigs present were all seasoned veterans of power, and they all understood the unspoken meaning behind Ye Ge's words—generally, such an opening remark meant that the Ye family had recently encountered some fool who was secretly causing them trouble, and who they were planning to target.
Over the years, under Ye Ge's leadership, the Ye family has eliminated one enemy after another who stood in their way, and all of them met with extremely tragic ends.
Upon hearing this, everyone present became somewhat nervous and began to wonder, secretly recalling whether they had offended the Ye family recently.
Ye Quan and Zhou Yuqing stood in a corner of the banquet hall, watching Ye Ge on the stage from afar.
"Xiaoye should have made all the arrangements by now, right?" Yequan asked.
"Of course, Dad, don't worry," Zhou Yuqing said with a smile.
Ye Ge's gaze swept over everyone in the banquet hall, carefully capturing the micro-expressions of these important figures, a faint smile in his eyes: "I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say what I mean."
"I believe you have all heard about this recently. Our Ye family has become a long-term partner with Dark City. Through the efforts of our family's extraordinary research team, we have jointly developed the Deep Blue System with Dark City, and we will continue to cooperate on related business matters in the future."
The people in the banquet hall nodded.
Of course they know about this.
Not only do they know this, but it is probably known to everyone among all races!
Since its release a month ago, the Deep Blue system has sold out completely, with demand far exceeding supply. Even after it went out of stock, the price has continued to rise. Scalpers have raised the price by 30%, but it still sells out in seconds as soon as it goes on sale. Many people who didn't buy it before and were still watching are now kicking themselves and regretting it.
Ye Ge continued slowly, "Actually, our Ye family's collaborative research and development project with Dark City is not limited to just the Deep Blue System."
"Our Ye family's research team has made several breakthroughs in the research of extraordinary technology in the process of cooperating with Dark City."
"As members of the human race, we naturally hope to share these technological achievements with our fellow citizens of the Empire, to lead everyone to prosperity and strength, and to allow the human race to regain its status and respect among all races."
"but......"
As Ye Ge spoke, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Clearly, there are many envious people among our human race who can't stand to see others doing well."
"..."
Upon hearing this, many people looked somewhat embarrassed.
Because of this problem, many people present had it to some extent...
"Over the years, our Ye family has always been reluctant to make enemies. For the sake of unity and peace within the human race, we would rather make more friends than create enemies. But there are always those who are blind to my bottom line, and it happens time and time again."
Ye Ge spoke slowly and calmly, but her voice carried a sharp, cold indifference and killing intent: "Today is my wedding day with Princess Long Ying. Eight years ago, we were chosen by the gods. But I never expected that someone would try to use this banquet and wedding to infiltrate the Southern Territory, taking advantage of the Ye family's lack of preparedness to attack us, and even launch a war against the Southern Territory!"
Everyone looked surprised upon hearing this.
Then they suddenly realized.
That’s how it turns out…
No wonder Ye Ge spoke such sharp words so seriously on this occasion!
“Just now, my subordinates came to tell me that an army of 300,000 superhuman warriors has been discovered outside my southern border. They have secretly infiltrated the border forests of my southern border and are ready to launch an attack at any time.”
"This army is well-trained, with all soldiers at the Hundred Soul Realm or above, and led by a Shura Realm expert. An army of this size could not possibly come from an ordinary small force; behind them must be a noble family at least at the Marquis level."
Ye Ge said this deliberately, his gaze sweeping across the crowd: "We haven't figured out whose army this is yet, but I think it should be among you. Would anyone like to come forward and claim it?"
"..."
silence.
Many people subconsciously looked at the marquises in the hall, but of course no one stepped forward to admit it for the time being.
The marquises and nobles who were being stared at looked embarrassed and made faces at those around them, as if to say, "Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me!"
Soon it was noticed that none of the three great dukes of the empire—Sherlock Holmes, Wolfsbane, and Walter—were present.
Shouldn't...
"Is no one willing to step forward and admit it?" Ye Ge smiled faintly. "It's alright. Let's take a look at this army together. Everyone here can help me identify it and see if there are any superhumans among them. Help me identify whose army this is and who is trying to sabotage the unity and peace of our human race."
Want to see it for ourselves?
What do you think?
Everyone looked puzzled.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to show you all a new project that our Night Family's extraordinary R&D team is collaborating on with Dark City and the Feather Clan."
Night Song said, "This invention was originally intended to be unveiled at the Dark City press conference next year, but since this has happened today, let the humans be the witnesses to this brand-new invention."
As she spoke, Ye Ge turned her head to look at Li Shuying behind her.
Li Shuying nodded slightly, then picked up a remote control and turned on the large screen in the banquet hall.
There was no image on the big screen at the moment; it was just static.
Before anyone could understand what Ye Ge was going to show them, Li Shuying began to speak through the system's voice function: "Miss Shenxue, we can begin now. Please transmit the image from the Eye of the Sky."
