"South State?"
Lionel Yeager blinked, asking, "Isn’t the largest family in the South State the Vermilion Bird Clan?"
"That’s right."
James Wilbur nodded, saying, "Brother Yeager, are you interested in the Vermilion Bird Clan?
If you’d like to make their acquaintance, I could introduce you."
"Hmm?"
Lionel Yeager blinked again, asking, "Is your family close with the Vermilion Bird Clan?"
"Uh..."
James Wilbur opened his mouth, saying, "We have some connections."
"Oh..."
Lionel Yeager nodded, saying, "If I have the chance, I might visit the South State."
"Great!"
James Wilbur was very pleased, "I’ll invite you to visit our family when you do!"
Bardon Bard took a sip of alcohol, asking, "Brother Wilbur, what’s the story with that bird on your shoulder? It looks rather spiritual."
James Wilbur replied, "It’s called Hundreds of Crowing Birds, my Spirit Beast."
Lionel Yeager also fixed his eyes on the firebird on his shoulder.
Previously, when Big White faced off with this firebird, it was like confronting a formidable enemy.
This bird was probably not an ordinary Spirit Beast.
Even though it looks small now, it may be able to grow big like Big White.
James Wilbur then asked, "By the way, where are you heading next?"
Lionel Yeager replied, "To the Myth Martial clan."
"To the Myth Martial clan?"
James Wilbur looked puzzled, "What are you going to do at the Myth Martial clan? What fun is there with those old turtles, why not come to the South State instead?"
"Old turtles?"
A twitch appeared at the corner of Lionel Yeager’s mouth.
However, since Myth Martial indeed represents the turtle-snake combined Divine Beast, being called old turtles wasn’t wrong.
But looking at this guy’s demeanor, he seemed not to fear the Myth Martial clan at all.
After all, the Myth Martial clan is one of the Four Supreme Divine Beast Clans of Kun Lin Ruins, which most people wouldn’t dare to provoke.
Lionel Yeager grew even more curious about this guy’s identity.
"Right."
James Wilbur nodded, saying, "Is Myth Martial not represented by turtles? I didn’t say anything wrong."
Boris Moore frowned, saying, "Brother Wilbur, it’s better not to speak carelessly.
If someone from the Myth Martial clan hears you, it could spell trouble."
"What of it? If those old turtles cause me any trouble, I’ll just go back to the South State and ask my father for help!"
James Wilbur waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned to Lionel Yeager, asking, "Brother Yeager, why not just go with us to the South State?"
Lionel Yeager said, "I still need to make a trip to the Myth Martial clan.
As for the South State, maybe some other time."
James Wilbur said, "Okay then, we’ll just go with you!"
Lionel Yeager shook his head, "Suit yourself."
After finishing their drinks.
Everyone booked a few guest rooms and retired to their respective rooms to rest.
While bathing.
Lionel Yeager asked Big White, "Big White, that firebird isn’t just an ordinary Spirit Beast, is it?"
Big White nodded.
Lionel Yeager continued to ask, "What kind of Spirit Beast is that firebird exactly?"
Big White shook his head, indicating he was not too sure.
Lionel Yeager thought for a moment, then continued, "Can you beat that firebird?"
Big White nodded, then shook his head again, suggesting he wasn’t certain he could win.
Inside a private room in a coffee shop.
Nowadays, East Beauty Pharmaceuticals had captured the markets in many Outu countries, but there were still a few countries where they hadn’t.
The white old man opposite her was Joseph, the chairman of TBS Cosmetics, the largest cosmetics group in Oxford Country.
Miss Stewart intended to partner with TBS Group to develop the Oxford Country market.
After presenting the overview of East Beauty Pharmaceuticals.
Julia Stewart continued, "Mr. Joseph, that is the situation with East Beauty Pharmaceuticals. If we collaborate, it will undoubtedly be a win-win..."
Following numerous experiences, Julia Stewart had grown tremendously, slowly embodying the demeanor of the Queen of the Business World.
Even when negotiating with some of the foreign business tycoons, she remained unfazed.
And all of this confidence was thanks to Yang Luo.
For this, she was very grateful and cherished it deeply.
Joseph smiled and said, "Miss Stewart, we have already researched East Beauty Pharmaceuticals thoroughly.
We at TBS Group are willing to work together with your company..."
However, before he could finish speaking,
a white female secretary next to him picked up her mobile phone and whispered quietly, "Chairman, Mr. Ferland is on the phone."
Joseph picked up his phone and apologetically said to Miss Stewart, "Miss Stewart, excuse me, I need to take a call."
Miss Stewart raised her hand slightly, "By all means."
Joseph got up and left the private room.
Once out, he answered the call.
As soon as the call connected,
Mr. Ferland’s voice came through.
"Mr. Joseph, has Julia Stewart from East Beauty Pharmaceuticals approached you to discuss a collaboration?"
"Yes,"
replied Joseph before asking, "Mr. Ferland, may I know the purpose of your call?"
Ferland’s voice took on a stern tone as he said, "Mr. Joseph, I advise you to immediately terminate your collaboration with East Beauty Pharmaceuticals!"
