THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.
187. FORGOT TO BRING A GIFT.



Everyone watched as the silhouette of a man was seen walking towards the pavilion from the right.


The figure walked softly and elegantly, its steady steps resounding in the silent pavilion.


UI YONG JIANG stared intently as the figure immediately appeared, in front of him stood a man in his fifties, boating


wide, and standing about six feet two INCI. From the appearance of her face, she only looked older than MEI LING's father


a few years or at most ten years. The only thing that really showed his old age was his gray hair and beard.


‘Is he really over eight hundred years old?’ He couldn't help but ask himself.


‘Be careful, he's an Overlord Plane expert, above intermediate level.’ Void warned UI YONG JIANG as soon as the man entered.


Even though he knew the man was not against UI YONG JIANG and most likely would not even talk to him, he felt he should at least warn him.


‘Oh, I don't think he will be in the final stages.’ UI YONG JIANG said before reassuring Void, ‘Don't worry,


I'm not here to cause trouble. If anyone needs to be careful, then it is you.’


‘Hmph! I'm not that stupid to make trouble here,’ Void snorted coldly.


‘Ah, really? If I remember correctly, you stole the dragon treasure that I thought was over five hundred years old without thinking.


I think when you see something sparkling that catches your attention, your brain dies.’ UI YONG JIANG replied with a sneer.


There was no way he believed Void would sit idly by if he saw something glittering, fortunately he was here. And


moreover, if he couldn't stop her, it wasn't the case since they weren't together.


“That old man GAK BUN BENG, he owns this pavilion. He is not affiliated with any of the extended families here, but rather the regional leader of the Lenz organization.


Even the head of a large family showed maximum respect to him.” SWAT LIAN explained to UI YONG JIANG as the old man sat down.


“You said regional leader, does that mean there are other regional leaders?” UI YONG JIANG asked, a little confused.


If the regional leader of the organization can be this strong, then how strong is the leader?


“Yes, in fact, the Lenz conglomerate has a long history, even older than the Qilin empire. According to the history books,


they started when the continents were still united, because they were merchant organizations, they were not involved with power struggles.


They currently have branches in each kingdom.” SWAT HWA chimed in a conversation to tell UI YONG JIANG what he knew about the organization.


SWAT LIAN glared at her sister for stealing her chance to impress UI YONG JIANG with this information. SWAT HWA smiled before staring


UI YONG JIANG'S. He shook his head gently as he saw how his attention was currently fixed on BUN BENG.


“Wow! That old? They should have a strong figure as they can operate perfectly in


every kingdom without being controlled by anyone.” UI YONG JIANG exclaimed softly as he turned his attention back to BUN BENG.


Given the tension between the current kingdoms, UI YONG JIANG felt amazing that an organization could operate


perfectly, moving goods and personnel between them without being bothered by any of the kingdoms.


The clink! The clink! The clink!


“Welcome everyone, this old one is GAK BUN BENG, I am grateful to see many of you come here to


celebrating my birthday once again. It was only yesterday when I celebrated my birthday


eight hundred, but now, it has been ten years.” BUN BENG spoke softly and coldly while appreciating his audience.


‘Wow! Eight hundred and ten, it was old! UI YONG JIANG, how old is the human in Overlord Plane?’ Void asked.


‘About one thousand to one thousand two hundred years,’ replied UI YONG JIANG after a while.


The birthday ceremony took place with UI YONG JIANG mostly talking to SWAT sister LIAN. He asked about the city and the relationship


between Lenz's organization and the extended family. He saw XIAO JING would glance at him once in a while, but he tried not to look at him.


The ceremony lasted for about two hours, the entertainment of the people playing the instrument. A few moments


then, some women approached UI YONG JIANG asking him to dance, actually, they were not the first. This caused him to attract attention


most of the young men in the large family because even some of the women they liked were all staring at UI YONG JIANG with hot eyes.


Once a woman gathers the courage to ask her to dance, almost like the others take her


as a challenge for themselves to make sure she dances with at least one of them.


At the front desk.


This is the table where BUN BENG sits. Five people sat at this table, BUN BENG himself, and four others. An


the young lady who looked to be in her late twenties, an older-looking woman who had the same features as the young lady, and two old men.


“Who is that young man?” Want to not want BUN BENG ask.


Seeing UI YONG JIANG's attention to herself made her amused, hence she felt curious about him.


“His name is UI YONG JIANG, he came with LIM family. I think he is a friend of children.” A young woman to his right answered.


“UI YONG JIANG, it seems like I have never heard of that surname before,


do you know it?” Gerald asked while rubbing his beard.


“No, I don't think she's from this city,” The young lady shook her head.


“Hmm, well, she will have a very bad moment when the ‘itu’ segment starts,” said the older woman gently.


“I think it's time now,” said the young lady before staring pitifully at UI YONG JIANG. Ten minutes passed and


a middle-aged man walked forward, he announced that it was time to give a gift to BUN BENG .


‘Sial! I forgot about this,’ UI YONG JIANG's face twitched a little.


This was the first time he had attended a birthday ceremony of this caliber He had followed MEI LING to the one that he had forced on Lunar City, but that was for a young man, and he had not stayed for long.


He immediately started checking his spatial ring if he could find something nice to offer BUN BENG as a birthday present.


After going through his storage ring, he decided not to. The only thing he had in large numbers was an elemental weapon,


but it is not something that someone with BUN BENG status will see its value because he can get it at any time.


Moreover, he had extremely precious treasures, such as the liquid extracted from a blooming poisonous snake that had outside healing abilities


ordinary, but taking out such a treasure would instantly put him in danger as he was not from any large family here. .


UI YONG JIANG remained in his seat while LIM girls went to offer their gifts, even TEK SIONG brought gifts.


After attracting so much attention earlier, most people stared at him, waiting for him to stand up, but to their surprise, he did not move in the slightest.
