This was entirely within the President's expectations.
He maintained his composure, extending a hand and pointing to the hotel entrance.
"Mr. President, I've managed to get in touch with again..."
"Get out."
The President pointed to the door and said icily.
"I promise..."
"Get, out!"
His voice rising, the President felt he was losing control.
"Very well, sir."
Instantly, the secretary left the room.
Mr. President sat alone in the room. After taking a puff of his cigar, he furiously extinguished it in the ashtray. A string of classic American curses spilled from his lips.
...
Daisy arrived outside the venue.
She remembered clearly that on the day she arrived at this venue, she had seen someone her age, but with two souls within them.
That person had piqued her curiosity.
At the time, it was inconvenient for her to directly wield her goddess powers, but now, she could.
As soon as she arrived at the venue, Zhuge Lan appeared before her.
To ensure the smooth execution of all activities here and the safety of the elder, Zhuge Lan had spent almost all his time here, aside from necessary rest.
"Good evening, madam."
When facing Daisy, it was Mr. Zhuge's soul that was in control.
"Good evening."
Daisy greeted him and then placed a crown upon her head.
This crown was the goddess's conduit in the mortal realm. When she wore it, she could receive power from the goddess.
A faint glow flickered on the crown, and her aura began to steadily increase.
Originally, she was already a peak expert at the Mingxin realm, and now, she was about to break through that limit.
"Interesting." Seeing this, Mr. Zhuge remained unhurried. He extended his hand forward, and at that moment, a massive Eight Trigram Formation appeared beneath their feet.
This Eight Trigram Formation was larger than the venue itself. In the darkness of the night, it emitted a faint luminescence.
Soon, the light of the Eight Trigram Formation vanished, and all aura in the vicinity was completely sealed off.
Daisy, whose aura was continuously strengthening, frowned. She knew she was in Dragon Country and that the power she could draw from the goddess was limited, but even so, it shouldn't have stopped now.
This strength... it was only about one-twentieth of what it was before... or less.
"Was it you?"
Daisy stared at Zhuge Lan, not understanding how he had done it. Was it that fleeting, strange thing that resembled a witch's magic circle?
"Young lady, this is Dragon Country's territory, so I do not wish for there to be too many variables. If you were to truly inherit the power, the variables would be beyond my control." Mr. Zhuge shook his head and took a step forward.
With this step, the Eight Trigram Formation reappeared. The yin and yang fish beneath their feet began to spin rapidly, engulfing them in light.
Following the yin and yang fish, the outer eight trigrams also began to move.
He hadn't fully activated this Eight Trigram Formation in a long time.
The last time was decades ago, when dealing with those foreign God Realm experts. Back then, it was this Eight Trigram Formation that played a crucial role in their ability to fight against dozens of God Realm experts with just ten men.
