The Almighty Ring

ed genuine.
That and the fact that he had the life-saving miracle pills in his hands.

There were at least more than thirty people present at the welcoming party.
Jiang Fei had only needed a moment to glance through everyone to know that it was a party of brawns and brains.
Unlike the elders and young disciples, the welcoming party consisted mostly of Level 3 fighters like Luo Zhan and Yang Feng.
Naturally, Han Tianyu was the weakest of them all.

“Haha, this must be Brother Jiang Fei!” said one of the men who was at the front most line.

Old Hai and other elders stood behind two other men.
The one who had approached Jiang Fei was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He had a large face, wide mouth and nose, and an appearance that was very spirited.

“0541, what is this man’s power level?” asked Jiang Fei in his mind.

“Scanning… Answer: This man strength is considered to be the middle tier of a Level 4 Metahuman,” 0541 replied.

‘Hmph.
Must be stronger than Old Hai,’ thought Jiang Fei.
He ought to be careful.
Even though he was shocked, he maintained a straight face on the outside.

Since the person had greeted him, it was polite to answer.

“Nice to meet you.
My name is Jiang Fei.
May I know who am I talking to?” asked Jiang Fei politely since he knew that the man was a middle tier Level 4 fighter.

“Hoho! I am Zhao.
Zhao Ganming.
One of the elder managers of the Songshan Faction,” said the middle-aged man with a bright smile.

“Hmm…” Jiang Fei was thrown off.
This was where Jiang Fei’s knowledge of the world lacked.

Someone like Jiang Fei, who had mingled in the society of both the Metahumans and the Martial Artists, should have known about the existence of others.
Even if he did not, he should have said something vague like, “It is an honor to finally meet you,” or even “It is my greatest pleasure to be able to meet such a person like yourself,” as a courtesy.
Not “HMMMM”.

Now, back to the cruel reality, Jiang Fei was a kid who never learned manners.
He was the kind of kid who grew up playing games and being an outstanding anti-social boy.
How would someone like him know about manners? If he had panicked and kept quiet, things would have turned out just fine.
However, Zhao Ganming stood there awkwardly since he did not know how to respond to “hmm”.

“Master Zhao is a reputable elder in the alliance.
He is a powerful fighters as well as a saint with the sword! The Songshan Sect is a famous school of martial arts!” said Han Tianyu quickly to save Jiang Fei from embarrassment.
Even if it meant explaining who Zhao Ganming was, it was better to make him appear stronger than he was.

“Oh! Oh!… This small one is honored to meet Master Zhao,” said Jiang Fei awkwardly.
He did not know how to address the man and since his position was not known.
Luckily Han Tianyu had addressed him as Master Zhao, hence, saving him from being embarrassed.

“Ah.
Please don’t.
Brother Jiang Fei, we are but level 4 fighters.
Let us call each other brothers,” said Zhao Ganming.
When Jiang Fei went silent, Zhao Ganming grew annoyed.
He thought that Jiang Fei was being obnoxious and was looking down on him.

However, when he saw just how awkward Jiang Fei was at responding to him, Zhao Ganming could see that the boy was still very young and had yet to learn about many things.
Hence, the negativity in him dispersed immediately.
On the other hand, when Jiang Fei addressed him as Master Zhao, he felt immediately scared.
How could someone like him be addressed as master? That would mean that he was standing at the same level of Jiang Fei’s Level 5 master! If he had taken the salutation, he would be having challengers coming to his doorstep!

“Tee hee hee…”

At that moment, there was a laugh that sounded like mini bells.

Jiang Fei turned around.
It was a pair of young twin girls laughing.

Those two were no younger than fifteen years of age.
In fact, Jiang Fei could tell that their age was the same as his.
With a quick scan, 0541 informed that the girls were actually high tier Level 3 fighters.
