Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Meta-Human Gathering

Most of the "World Meta-Humans Organization Elite Grand Tournaments" had been attended by the chiefs leading the teams themselves, and the organizers always required their subordinates to treat every participating team with the utmost respect, without any negligence.

The Caucasian man, though a powerful meta-human with abilities comparable to a Martial Artist at the early stages of the Profound Level from the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia, maintained sufficient awe at that moment when facing the members of the world-famous "Dragon Guard."

Before coming to pick up Fang Bai and the others, Lord Firebird had specifically instructed the man not to underestimate Fang Bai for his youth, as even a slight disrespect could lead to severe consequences.

In the "Statue of Liberty," Lord Firebird stood second only to one, above tens of thousands, holding high authority and being the chief Isabella’s most trusted confidant and loyal executor of commands. Almost no member of the "Statue of Liberty" wasn’t afraid of him, hence the Caucasian man dared not ignore his words.

Even though the Caucasian man had learned a lot about Fang Bai before coming, he couldn’t help being somewhat surprised when he saw that the young Huaxia man, around twenty years old, was actually the team leader of the mysterious "Dragon Guard" from Huaxia.

However, the man did not dare to show his surprise on his face, for if it offended Fang Bai and Lord Firebird found out, Lord Firebird could genuinely kill him with a single slap.

Just thinking about Lord Firebird’s anger, like a volcanic eruption, radiating intense heat from his body, with his fists as if flames were burning, if he truly got slapped by his palm, the consequences were unimaginable. By then, wishing for life or death would be futile, and the agony unbearable, the Caucasian man would shudder with terror.

"Indeed, I am Fang Bai."

Fang Bai replied with a smile.

"Mr. Fang, greetings!"

The Caucasian man bowed deeply to Fang Bai and then said, "We are ordered by Miss Isabella to pick up Mr. Fang and the gentlemen to attend the tournament at the ’Light of Freedom.’"

Fang Bai had heard from the Dragon Maiden that the "Light of Freedom" was a secret venue of the "Statue of Liberty," located in the center of Las Vegas, with security measures so tight that not even a bird could fly in, more stringent than the residence of the President of America.

"Then let’s go!"

Fang Bai stood up, followed the Caucasian man out of the hotel, with the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and the others promptly getting to their feet to follow.

Once the party of over a dozen people boarded the bus, the bulletproof vehicle started and made its way to the "Light of Freedom" venue in the city center.

From the outside, the "Light of Freedom" appeared to be a very ordinary sports venue-like building, covering an area larger than a football field, shrouded in mystery since its inception.

The entrance was guarded by several fierce-looking and intimidating security staff, with a tight surveillance system all around. Outsiders simply could not enter, and only core members of the "Statue of Liberty" with access cards had the privilege to get inside.

When the minibus carrying Fang Bai and the others arrived at the entrance of the "Light of Freedom," the Caucasian man showed their credentials and identities to the guards and they were promptly allowed through.

Inside the "Light of Freedom," they saw a huge open-air venue, its ground paved with a material as hard as diamond, and surrounded by rows of tiered seating all around.

On the northern side of the venue stood a giant torch that was perpetually burning. It was said to never go out, symbolizing that the light would always prevail.

At this moment, the venue had already gathered hundreds of people of various skin colors and different attires.

Ordinary people might not notice anything special about these individuals, but Fang Bai and his fellow Martial Artists sensed unusual energy fluctuations emanating from those hundreds of people, among whom were Martial Artists as well as Meta-Humans like Firebird.

It’s rare to see so many powerful figures from around the world gathered together like this.

It was said that this "World Meta-Human Organizations Elite Competition" had the highest number of participants in its history, and all were led personally by the leaders of the major Meta-Human organizations, which indicated the level of importance they placed on this competition.

Of course, Long Jingtian, the leader of the "Dragon Guard," was an "exception".

No leader from the other major Meta-Human organizations expected Long Jingtian to send a young man in his twenties to lead the "Dragon Guard" members to the competition, which was almost like showing disrespect to the organizers.

So when Fang Bai, Dragon Maiden, and others appeared in the venue, the other people there looked at them strangely, some indifferent, some snickering, some mocking, some contemptuous and disdainful...

As for those less friendly glances, Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and others felt somewhat displeased, but Fang Bai faced them with a smile, unbothered, occasionally turning his head to quietly ask Dragon Maiden and Long Da about the various Meta-Human organizations.

Long Da, who had followed Long Jingtian for the longest time and participated in several "World Meta-Human Organizations Elite Competitions," knew the members of the major Meta-Human organizations very well. He walked beside Fang Bai, answering some of Fang Bai’s questions, and introduced the contestants from the various Meta-Human organizations to him.

As per tradition, when leaders of the major Meta-Human organizations arrived at the competition site, the hosts were expected to send a significant figure to greet them and engage in brief pleasantries as a sign of respect.

Emissaries like Firebird, a favored subordinate of Isabella, leader of the "Statue of Liberty," had welcomed leaders from "Holy Temple" of Europa, "Blizzard" of the Russian Federation, "Pharaoh" of North Africa, "Temple" of South America, and "India’s Conflagrate" when the leaders of these Meta-Human organizations arrived.

But this time, Huaxia’s "Dragon Guard" leader Long Jingtian was not present, having only sent a young man in his twenties to lead the team, and it was uncertain how the "Statue of Liberty" would respond.

Almost everyone believed that since the "Dragon Guard" showed disrespect first by not honoring the host "Statue of Liberty," there was no need for the host to show them respect, perhaps just sending a minor figure for a quick meet and greet would suffice.

As Fang Bai and others arrived, there was a commotion on the northern side of the venue, where people spontaneously cleared a path; shortly after, a beautiful girl with a staff in hand, wearing a purple gauze dress, large sapphire-like eyes, and silver hair cascading down to her waist approached them at a leisurely pace.

Following the silver-haired beauty were Firebird and other significant figures from the "Statue of Liberty" organization.

Upon seeing this procession, leaders of the Meta-Human organizations present recognized that the silver-haired beauty was Isabella, the new leader of America’s "Statue of Liberty."

Although the leaders of the various Meta-Human organizations had already learned about the new leader of the "Statue of Liberty," knowing she was just a teenage girl, many were still astonished when they saw Isabella for the first time.

The leaders of the Meta-Human organizations at the venue were all at least in their forties, with some even well past their seventies; thinking about having to interact with such a young girl on an equal footing made them feel indescribably awkward and unusual.
