Lin Feng's purpose for this trip was the central hall of the main planet.
This was where the Fifth Power typically held large meetings and handled important affairs.
Within the central hall, there was a special identity verification device. Lin Feng needed to register his information there, overwriting Jin Henry's, before he could truly become the master of the Fifth Power.
However, at this moment, in a conference room within the central hall, four men and one woman were seated.
Each First Sequence power had five complete Second Sequences under it.
These four men and one woman were Jin Henry's former subordinates, including Li Xieqian.
As the door opened, the five instantly straightened up and looked towards it.
This was their first formal meeting with their new leader, and they couldn't help but be nervous.
Here, leaders ascended based on their own capabilities; there were no instances of subordinates defying or challenging their superiors.
They had also witnessed the power struggle battles. Daring to provoke Shan Hai meant certain death.
Therefore, everyone wanted to make a good impression on this new leader!
However, it was merely a maidservant bringing tea who entered.
Seeing the five pairs of eyes fixed on her, the maidservant's hand trembled, nearly dropping the tea tray.
In her eyes, these individuals were also big shots, the controllers of the Second Sequence.
Fortunately, having worked in the central hall, the maidservant was experienced and managed without incident.
After distributing the tea, she quickly withdrew.
Silence fell upon the five again.
Well, here, no one dared to actively probe to sense who the newcomer was. To do so and detect the leader would be considered disrespect and would result in a reprimand.
Li Xieqian picked up his tea.
Seeing Li Xieqian make a move, the others felt no hesitation.
"Old Li, you're more familiar with Lord Shan Hai. Do you know what he likes?"
While sipping his tea, one of the handsome men with deep blue hair spoke.
His name was simply Hai.
Hai's abilities were related to the ocean, or rather, to all sources of water, similar to the Aquaman from a neighboring world.
However, compared to that Aquaman, Hai's abilities were far more potent.
As Hai asked, the gazes of the others shifted to Li Xieqian.
After all, Shan Hai had been Li Xieqian's subordinate for a period. Li Xieqian should know at least a little.
Knowing the leader's preferences and dislikes in advance would help avoid leaving a bad impression.
Li Xieqian pondered for a moment.
"I don't know..."
Hai frowned slightly.
Beside him, another middle-aged man with blonde hair silently pushed a box towards Li Xieqian.
"Don't be like that, Old Li, share the information!"
The blonde middle-aged man smiled.
What he offered was a year's worth of various resources.
A generous gesture, someone who knew how to play the game!
This year's worth of resources, including missions, items, and energy consumables, made even these Second Sequence individuals' hearts flutter.
Li Xieqian was indeed tempted. A year's worth of resources represented the various expenditures of a Second Sequence for a whole year.
Li Xieqian swallowed, resisted his greed, and pulled back.
"You misunderstood. I truly don't know..."
"Lord Shan Hai usually took on missions and disappeared. I barely saw him from start to finish. I only recruited Lord Shan Hai because I admired his abilities."
"Who would have thought that after such a short time, he would..."
Li Xieqian said, shaking his head, his mood somewhat complicated.
Just a couple of days ago, he was his subordinate; now he was his superior. Li Xieqian felt a headache coming on.
Anyone in his position would feel the same!
Seeing the resources being pushed back, the blonde middle-aged man silently put them away, choosing to believe him.
If Li Xieqian had truly known, he wouldn't have refused such a grand gift.
"Then what do we do? Are we supposed to wait here indefinitely?" a rather impatient voice rang out.
Among the four, the only woman spoke.
Her appearance was above average, and her figure was captivating, but her words shattered that beauty.
"Don't be anxious, Hannah. Didn't they say the power must be taken over within three days? It's the last day, Lord Shan Hai should appear soon."
"Besides, the data handover center is in the back. Lord Shan Hai will definitely pass by here when he comes! Don't worry!"
Li Xieqian tried to placate the woman named Hannah.
They had all waited on the planet for three days, solely to meet Shan Hai.
When transferring power, they, as subordinates of the first tier, naturally had to show up. Otherwise, how would they continue to earn a living under the leader in the future?
The blonde middle-aged man cast a sinister glance at Hannah, a flicker of disgust in his eyes, quite unfriendly.
"If you don't want to wait, you can leave..."
"What do you mean?"
Hannah's eyes narrowed, and sparks seemed to fly within them.
There was an inexplicable gunpowder-like tension between them, as if they were about to erupt into a fight at any moment.
"Stop arguing. You two have been bickering for years. Can't you spare one day?"
"If Lord Shan Hai sees you, you'll be in for it!"
Hai interjected with a frown, casually throwing in a remark.
These two seemed to have incompatible auras and had been clashing for at least a hundred years. However, due to Jin Henry's suppression and the balance of power within the organization, although they fought, they both tacitly avoided large-scale battles and casualties.
The blonde middle-aged man fell silent, wisely choosing to shut his mouth.
Hannah crossed her legs, pouted, and also fell silent.
She was merely voicing her frustration. She wasn't foolish; she certainly wouldn't leave if told to.
The atmosphere fell silent once more.
After an unknown period, as dusk began to settle, footsteps were heard outside the door again.
The five individuals, who had been lounging in various poses on their chairs, instantly sat up straight.
Suppressing the urge to sense the newcomer, everyone focused on their own senses, sitting straighter than kindergarten children.
Creak. The door was pushed open.
This time, it wasn't a young maidservant bringing tea, but a young man with an upright posture.
Black hair and black eyes, with a faint smile on his face, he looked like a boy next door, yet the aura he exuded sent a chill down their spines.
Here they come, the main character has arrived!
"Yo, Old Li, what are you doing here?"
"And who are these people?"
Lin Feng stepped inside, asking with a smile.
He was initially going for identity verification but sensed several people in this room, including his former superior, Li Xieqian.
Instantly, Lin Feng guessed their identities and walked in.
However, although Lin Feng knew these individuals were likely subordinates of the Second Sequence, he hadn't gathered their information beforehand.
Seeing them sitting so formally, Lin Feng understood.
They had formed a group to curry favor with their future leader. Smart!
