Chapter 102 Reactions from All Parties
After the victims' funeral, Wang Xiao did not linger and led the other invited parties directly to the conference room on the sixth floor.
Wei Yan originally wanted to attend the meeting, but Wang Xiao forced him to rest. In the end, he could only hand over the information he had compiled overnight to Xue Wu, who would then pass it on to Wang Xiao.
Conference room on the sixth floor.
As the conference room door opened, the invited parties found their seats according to their name tags and took their places.
After everyone who had entered the conference room was seated, Wang Xiao did not start the meeting immediately. Instead, he took out his phone to check the time and then glanced at the forces that had not come to participate in the meeting.
In order to resolve the potential crisis brought about by the insect swarm, Wang Xiao instructed Wei Yan to extend invitations to fifteen surrounding forces in the name of the Peace Hotel.
Although Wang Xiao did not personally extend the invitation, the fact that it was hosted under the name of the Peace Hotel was enough to demonstrate the importance of this meeting.
Even so, only twelve factions ultimately accepted the invitation to participate in the meeting.
Among these forces, some, like Qin Huai'an, came to participate in the meeting in person, while others sent core members as representatives of their forces.
Although the participating forces varied in strength, Wang Xiao viewed them all as potential partners for future cooperation and even investment.
At least, they showed sincerity at this meeting.
As for the three forces that didn't come, some were strong and some were weak.
One of the stronger forces is making every effort to catch up with Qin Huai'an's Qin Group, intending to form a confrontation with it.
The other two factions are quite unique. One is composed of all-around ability users, with only seven members. Rather than a faction, it's more accurate to describe it as a special survival team.
There is another force that is rather ordinary, with nothing particularly outstanding.
After glancing at the time and confirming that it was time for the meeting to officially begin, Wang Xiao did not wait any longer. He gestured for Xue Wu to close the door and then spoke:
"The purpose of the call for everyone to come to Peace Hotel today should have been clearly stated by our hotel manager, Mr. Wei, in the letter."
Unfortunately, even though this crisis involves the safety and interests of everyone present, three factions still chose to refuse to participate in this meeting. Therefore, we have no choice but to remove their names from this meeting.
In addition, our Peace Hotel will consider them as the final partners in all future collaborations and other activities.
Furthermore, our Peace Hotel will charge an additional commission fee for any commissions issued by their forces.
Certain restrictions will also be imposed on some special projects and products.
As for other friends who are willing to trust Peace Hotel and face the current difficulties with us, Peace Hotel will give priority to discussing cooperation with you in future hotel activities such as new product sales, as a way of thanking you for your support.
As Wang Xiao finished speaking, Xue Wu stepped forward and removed the nameplates belonging to the three factions, an action that instantly plunged the entire conference room into silence.
They knew that Wang Xiao was issuing a special "sanction" against these three forces in the name of the Peace Hotel.
It's important to understand that the reason the area around the Peace Hotel can still maintain basic order is entirely due to the special points system implemented by the Peace Hotel.
The fact that these three hotels have lost the favor of the Peace Hotel may not be clear now, but in the future, it will not be so easy for these three forces to make up for today's losses.
For a moment, the leaders and representatives of the twelve forces all had different expressions and seemed to be deep in thought.
Some looked delighted, some were glad they had made the right choice, and some seemed used to it.
Qin Huai'an sat at the head of the table on the left, looking at the empty seat opposite him, and chuckled, "Boss Wang, now that you've said that, I'm going to take it seriously."
Wang Xiao looked at Qin Huai'an and said seriously, "Of course, Mr. Qin, if there's anything you want to do, feel free to do it. Our hotel will always adhere to the principle of neutrality."
Wang Xiao naturally knew what Qin Huai'an meant by those words; he was confirming the Peace Hotel's stance with him.
As the old saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain."
When two extremely powerful forces both want to annex each other, cooperation would be difficult even before the apocalypse, let alone after.
Conflict was only a matter of time.
As someone who only wanted to run the hotel well and obtain system rewards, Wang Xiao didn't actually want to get too involved in the war between the two forces. Unless the war affected the hotel's interests, he wouldn't easily intervene.
Having received the answer he wanted, Qin Huai'an's smile widened, and he replied, "With your words, Boss Wang, I am relieved."
However, among the three absent forces, I seem to remember there was the "Black Blade" group composed of all-ability users, right?
I heard that they not only refused to meet the liaison sent by your hotel... but they even tricked the man before kicking him out.
Wang Xiao did not deny it, and said with an unusually calm expression, "Yes."
"Heh, that's so typical of them."
Qin Huai'an smiled, his tone now tinged with amusement.
"This 'Black Knife' considers itself to be the elite of humanity, the chosen ones of the apocalypse. Therefore, the entire team has always acted arrogantly, going it alone and not taking any person or force seriously."
I believe that everyone here has witnessed their methods to some extent, right?
However, to be fair, they do have the resources to do so.
Seven ability users acting together constitute a force to be reckoned with, even within the entire Chenghua District. Their captain is said to be extremely powerful.
"Hmph! No matter how strong he is, I don't believe he can be stronger than Boss Wang! Besides, so what if he's an ability user? Once the insect swarm really breaks out, in the end, no matter what 'Black Knife' or 'White Knife' are, they'll all have to tuck their tails between their legs and run away! I think this 'Black Knife' is just a team made up of a bunch of brainless idiots."
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, with a sallow complexion and a robust build. His aura was even stronger than Yang Hua's.
This person is named Feng Ye. He is an ability user and the leader of a medium-sized force called "Iron Wall". He has more than 100 survivors and four ability users under his command, and they are based in a large nightclub far away from the Peace Hotel.
The cooperation with the hotel wasn't particularly close, but after learning about the insects, they chose to attend this meeting, which surprised Wang Xiao.
It is said that Yang Hua worked for this man for a period of time before the apocalypse.
Seeing this, others chimed in with their own opinions.
Furthermore, some powerful figures have directly revealed that they have clashed with "Black Knife" in certain areas.
Seeing that the discussion about the "Black Knife" was getting more and more heated, Wang Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Alright, everyone, no matter how you look at it, these are all private matters of our respective forces."
I invited you all here today not to discuss them.
"If anyone has any complaints, we can discuss them after we've resolved this insect issue."
After ending the discussion about the three absent factions, Wang Xiao brought the meeting back to the insects.
Wang Xiao picked up the documents in front of him and said, "What is placed in front of you now is a summary of all the intelligence we, the Peace Hotel and the Qin Group, have collected so far regarding the insects and the door."
Before the formal discussion, everyone can take a look on their own.
If there is any information that we are not aware of, I welcome everyone to share it.
