Yi Long remained nonchalant, "Important matters?"
"Is it those fellows from the Gourmet Corp causing trouble again?"
"No." Mansam's voice was slightly hurried:
"It's something more important than the Gourmet Corp causing trouble!"
Hearing the urgency in Mansam's voice, Yi Long paused his backstroke and climbed out of the pool, using a towel to wipe his body as he asked, "What could be more important than the Gourmet Corp causing trouble?"
Mansam didn't hide anything, he recounted today's experience in detail.
It was about the terrifying individuals by Aru's side.
They had wiped out all the Gourmet Corp members who went to the First Ecological Zone.
They also mentioned that Birus possessed the ability to destroy the world.
He recounted everything truthfully, without embellishment.
The only extra sentence was:
"If these people truly have the ability to destroy the world."
"We don't know their purpose now, we can't let them run rampant."
After hearing these words, Yi Long, who was usually calm, became agitated.
He confirmed again:
"They truly have the ability to destroy the world?"
Mansam couldn't be sure, but said:
"While I can't be 100% certain, from what Coco told me, it's highly possible."
"And I saw them teleport away from the First Ecological Zone directly."
"I can't help but believe it, given their methods."
"Directly teleporting away." Yi Long's expression turned serious, even he didn't have that ability. He furrowed his brows and said, "If what you said is true, it's truly possible. They really do have the power to destroy the world."
Mansam continued, "So, what are you going to do?"
"They have the power to threaten the world, we can't just sit back and do nothing, right?"
Yi Long stroked his chin, his eyes deep, "Of course, I'll take care of it. I'll personally test them."
"If their intentions are not pure, then I can't let it go!"
Even if the other party had the power to destroy the world, he wasn't afraid.
He himself possessed the power to destroy the world as well.
However, the difference was:
The world he understood was just the planet he currently lived on.
But the world those individuals led by Birus could destroy was the universe.
They could even truly achieve absolute annihilation.
With Yi Long's words, Mansam felt much more reassured.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"There are some things I need to take care of at the research lab."
"Go ahead." Yi Long shrugged.
Mansam didn't linger and left. This wasn't something he could handle, everything had to be left to Yi Long.
If even Yi Long couldn't solve it.
And if Birus and his people had some hidden motive, then no one could stop them.
After Mansam left, Yi Long sat on the lounge chair under the parasol, picked up a glass of red wine from the table next to him, swirled it, and gulped it down, muttering to himself.
"They have the power to destroy the world."
"These guys, exactly what..."
...
Gourmet Corp Headquarters.
The news of the Gourmet Corp members who were killed in the First Ecological Zone.
This news quickly spread back to the Gourmet Corp.
Upon learning this news.
The entire Gourmet Corp was shaken, becoming panicked and uneasy.
Therefore, an emergency meeting was convened.
In the conference room.
Head Chef Kurommede still occupied the main seat.
But this time, there were far fewer members participating in the meeting.
These missing members were the ones killed by Birus, they could no longer attend.
"Regarding the death of Bernres and the others, do any of you have anything to say?"
Head Chef Kurommede spoke from the main seat.
But the members at the conference table remained silent, none of them spoke.
So many people had been sent out, including Head Chef Bernres.
That man's Capture Level was 800 or 900.
Even someone as strong as him was killed, what else could they say?
If they were asked to take revenge, they didn't have the ability, nor did they dare.
Not that they dared.
Even Kurommede himself didn't dare.
His strength was actually similar to Head Chef Bernres.
Since Head Chef Bernres was killed, he would meet the same fate if he went.
But this time, the Gourmet Corp members were wiped out, someone had to step up.
Otherwise, the other Gourmet Corp members would lose heart.
This would have a significant impact on the entire Gourmet Corp.
At this time, one of the division heads spoke up:
"I think we should put this matter on hold for now."
"We don't know how strong the other side is."
"If we continue to recklessly hunt them, it may not be successful."
"It may even lead to greater losses for the Gourmet Corp."
"I think we should first investigate their background."
"Then we can take action, and the chances of success will be higher."
This suggestion hit everyone's sweet spot.
Therefore, everyone nodded in agreement.
They were not very united here, and there were many with rebellious intentions.
If they were asked to risk their lives for revenge, they wouldn't do it.
"Indeed, we can't just focus on them."
"Sanhu's plan is at a crucial stage, we can't get too distracted with other matters."
"Therefore, I think we'll leave it at that."
"We'll take action after we find out more about those individuals."
Head Chef Kurommede pretended to sigh and said:
"That's the only way, let's put this matter on hold."
"By the way, the Century Thick Soup is about to be unveiled, you should all prepare for Capture."
"This soup is very important to our Gourmet Corp."
"Yes." The members nodded.
"Then, this meeting is adjourned..."
...
IGO Hotel.
Su Ming, Birus and the others were still reveling in the enjoyment of the Rainbow Fruit.
From the time the Rainbow Fruit was placed on the table, their expressions of enjoyment hadn't changed.
But the time of enjoyment always passes.
After their battle, the Rainbow Fruit on the table had been devoured.
Without the stimulation of the Rainbow Fruit.
This was what pulled them back from their trance.
But they were already very satisfied.
They brought back a decent amount of Rainbow Fruit, they had already eaten their fill.
However, they had enough Rainbow Fruit.
But they hadn't had enough of other delicacies yet.
Aru asked Komatsu to bring up more of the hotel's delicacies for them to continue eating.
But this time, they didn't eat as frantically as they did when they were eating the Rainbow Fruit.
They were chatting and eating.
Aru suddenly thought of something and said,
"Right, tomorrow is the time I booked for Setsu's food."
"Are any of you interested in going together?"
