Chapter 985: Chapter 985

"You, don’t be arrogant. Who laughs last is not certain yet."

Fu Renjie shouted reluctantly, never dreaming it would turn out .

"No matter who laughs last, it definitely won’t be you."

Tang Ming dug at his ear and sneered disdainfully.

"Oh my, besides Wan Yong tying with Tang as the group leader, the other contestants from the Ming Group are all behind us."

Wu Xiaoyu was shocked when she realized the situation.

In previous competitions, the Dark Group members were absolutely suppressed by the Ming Group. Even if the Dark Group members united and sacrificed others to protect one person, they would eventually be defeated by the Ming Group.

It’s unbelievable for the Dark Group to have all participants ranking at the top , something that’s never happened before.

"Having you participate in the competition was a completely correct decision by the Su Family, I admit it."

Long Ao looked at Tang Ming with a complex expression.

At this point, Long Ao was genuinely convinced by Tang Ming.

The fact was right in front of them; it was due to Tang Ming that they achieved such outstanding results.

Otherwise, the Dark Group could have been completely wiped out in this round of the competition, given that the Ming Group already knew the Dark Group’s united strategies and wouldn’t give them any chance to sacrifice others.

"We’re all on the same side, no need to be so formal."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly and said with confidence, "For the strength of the Dark Group, we must continue to work hard and aim to suppress the Ming Group this year."

Long Ao and the others nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, the first round of the competition has officially ended." After announcing the results, Qin Fang put away the remote control and smiled as she introduced, "Now it’s lunch break time, you contestants can go back to the hotel to rest or to the restaurant to eat. At two o’clock in the afternoon, I will take you to the venue for the second competition."

After speaking, Qin Fang left, and several young people who looked like attendants appeared at the door, these were the staff members guiding the contestants.

Tang Ming stood up, in a great mood shouting, "Old folks, today is truly delightful..."

Long Ao and the three others glanced at the puffed-up Ming Group and left with a smile, following Tang Ming.

Fu Renjie slammed the table fiercely and cursed.

"You don’t work hard, just know to talk big, no wonder you’re useless."

Wan Yong muttered disdainfully and strode out.

"Haha, got scolded, didn’t you?"

Qian Bujun laughed strangely and continued out, holding a chicken leg.

Fu Renjie was speechless with anger.

The first competition ended successfully, and the guests in the hall temporarily dispersed, going to lunch or resting a bit, then returning in the afternoon to continue watching the competition.

During the lunch break, Fu Tianyou, along with the Fu Family, the Wan Family, the Zhao Family, and the Qian Family people gathered in a private room to eat.

"What on earth is going on? How did those Dark Group scoundrels find the defensive loopholes in the simulated stockade?"

Zhao Jincheng sipped his wine dejectedly and asked Fu Tianyou.

"I don’t know what’s going on either."

Fu Tianyou shook his head helplessly and said, "I’ve already ordered the Ming Group members stationed in the simulated stockade to reinforce the defenses and cross defend all exits with the Dark Group members, yet those people can always find gaps, as if they knew the defense plans in advance."

"Nonsense! Even if they knew the defense plans, the Ming Group people aren’t fools, how could they allow them to sneak in silently? There must be someone from the Dark Group sabotaging."

Qian Weiguo guessed angrily.

"Hey, that’s impossible too; the Ming Group and Dark Group people are cross defending, even if the Dark Group wanted to sabotage, our own people would be the first to notice."

Fu Tianbao shook his head, frowning tightly.

"Hahaha, the matter has passed, let’s not worry ourselves anymore."

Wan Changfa raised his wine glass and said with a laugh, "Anyway, my son is in first place, so our Ming Group isn’t completely defeated. I believe no matter what tricks the Dark Group plays, my son will surely secure the first place in the big competition."

Hearing this, everyone felt a wave of nausea inside, but had to outwardly appear relieved.

The major families of the Ming Group faction all hope their family disciples can win the big competition for the benefit of their families.

Now that Wan Yong is leading, although it seems the Ming Group faction isn’t too far behind, the other families are all displeased.

Seeing Fu Tianbao and others putting on false appearances, Wan Changfa was secretly pleased. Although the Dark Group achieved impressive results in the first round, leaving other family disciples behind, Wan Yong of the Wan Family was in first place.

As long as the Wan Family’s hope of winning is not affected, it would be best if the other families are entirely defeated.

"Brother Wan, now we are all counting on Wan Yong to take the first place, and right now he is neck and neck with Tang Xin, with no guaranteed victory."

Fu Tianyou said slowly and worriedly, "So the urgent matter at hand is still to find a way to eliminate Tang Xin."

"Sure. If you’ve got a way, just take him out, anyway, my Wan Yong will definitely win first place."

Wan Changfa laughed indifferently, putting off the matter.

"This is just the first round of the competition, we don’t need to underestimate ourselves."

Zhao Jincheng didn’t take it to heart either, sipping his wine confidently, "The first-round competition isn’t my son’s specialty, but in the later competitions, I trust he’ll achieve great results too."

"That’s how I see it too."

Qian Weiguo wasn’t very concerned either.

"But this Tang Xin is a major threat to our Ming Group. He has already caused significant losses to the Ming Group, so he must be taught a lesson."

Seeing these family heads with such attitudes, Fu Tianyou anxiously reminded them.

"Haha, since that’s the case, I’ll leave it up to you, Deputy Director, to handle it, as you are the person in charge of the Ming Group now; it’s your responsibility to manage this issue anyway."

Wan Changfa waved his hand impatiently.

The others nodded quickly in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianyou was extremely irritated.

Fu Tianbao gave Fu Tianyou a look, signaling him to stop speaking, as all these family heads were just putting on a facade. If it doesn’t affect their own interests, they wouldn’t exert themselves.

Unlike the atmosphere on the Ming Group side, the banquet hosted by the several family heads of the Dark Group faction and Zhou Xiong was very lively.

"Brother Su, come on, come on."

Lin Qingfeng raised his wine glass, looking enthusiastically at Su Tianyu, "Let’s toast to your wise decision in having Tang Xin participate in the big competition."

"We should all toast Brother Su together; today, every one of the Dark Group faction contestants ranked at the front; it’s truly satisfying."

Long Aiyu also rarely smiled, raising his glass enthusiastically toward Su Tianyu.
