Soon after the teenager spoke to his adoptive mother. The other side of the globe.

Nearly 400 meters long, 70 meters wide, and with a displacement of 260,000 tons, the "Sea Emperor's Palace" super ocean-going cruise ship, with a hull larger than an aircraft carrier, is like a mythical Beamon monster, sailing steadily on the endless ocean between Europa and Africa in the sunny North Atlantic.

On this supertanker, which belongs to a private consortium, wearing white soft gauze and dressed as ancient Greek-style waitresses, each of whom has the slender figure and glamorous appearance of an international supermodel, serves the celebrities on board with a clever smile.

It's just that the "celebrities" on this ship are too special. ”

A middle-aged man of medium stature, wearing a handmade suit custom-made by the "Anderson Shepard" premium men's clothing store on Savile Row, England, and a yellow appearance, walked while quietly scanning the passengers on the first deck of a cruise ship.

The white man on the far right, with two bodyguards and smiling and talking to a hot beauty, is Abramovich, a super-oligarch in Russia. Across from him, the man sitting under a parasol and sucking juice with a leisurely expression is the leader of the Black Mamba Party, a mercenary group that has just subverted a country in Africa. And the thin, bearded man who sat next to him, chatting with him with a somewhat old-fashioned and serious expression, was the soul of another armed group - Osama.

In the distance, a pair of Orientals who have just come out of the cabin are the strongmen of Japan who straddle the three worlds of politics and economics and are known as the "Light of Yamato", the pen of the ultra-right-wing organization "Divine Kingdom Revival Association", Shikiro and his wife.

There is also a beautiful woman of Middle Eastern descent who is accompanied by three servants, an evil heresy in the side of the Arab celestial world, and the holy woman of the armed sect "Eternal Flame" that mixes Zoroades, Celestialism, Druze and Sufis. Her father, Husimu Mazta, is not only the leader of the "Eternal Flame", but also recognized as the most dangerous monster in the Arab world, nicknamed "The Mad Warlock". It is said that he never liked to bring many guards, and lived alone in an oasis in the Sahara Desert to meditate day and night, and several great chiefs of the Celestial Sect countries secretly hired many top assassins and even used the army to assassinate him, only to expose all his body to dried meat in the desert.

"But this monster's daughter is a rare exotic beauty, no wonder his daughter came out to engage in diplomacy." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine. As the leader of the Zhang consortium, Zhang Xiezu, the president of the group, he is also a big man in black and white in Southeast Asia. Although each of these passengers in front of him is bigger than the other, he is not much worse.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to get this ticket and be qualified to step into the private gathering of this elite group that affects the military, political and economic circles around the world.

Zhang Xie Zu took a glass of champagne from a waitress passing by. I'm thinking about whether to go to Abramovich first, or choose a Middle Eastern beauty to chat with. Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance walking up to the bar. Zhang Xie Zu immediately laughed and walked over quickly.

"Dear Di, my friend!" He opened his hands and showed just the right amount of affection, "Your boat is great!" It's just that I don't know these passengers well, so I can't ask you to introduce them to me later. ”

The young man he called "Dear Di" was a handsome and extraordinary Caucasian man. The sword eyebrows are straight, the dark purple pupils of the eyes and the thin corners of the lips are hooked with a slight smile, with a wonderful charm that fascinates both men and women. The whole person exudes a natural, mellow, and condensed timeless temperament.

Gal Phoenix, the famous European tycoon and the Golden King, is also the owner of this super cruise ship. But friends who are familiar with him know that he privately uses another Chinese name with a martial arts style.

- Di Tianxia.

Hearing Zhang Xiezu's greeting, Di Tianxia immediately stopped and smiled, "Of course, it's more than that. Good news for you. The previous application has been approved. ”

"Passed?" Zhang Xie Zu took a deep breath, and even his pupils shrank. He groaned, "Di, I'll remember your help in this matter." ”

"It's more because of your brothers' own brilliant talents." Di Tianxia said with a smile: "It's just that after joining, you have to go through a period of observation." You know, the old rules up there. ”

"Understood." Zhang Xie Zu looked around and asked quietly, "No wonder you invited me to this party." Why, are all the things on this ship destined to be absorbed? ”

Among the guests on this boat, although Zhang Xie Zu is also a well-known figure, his net worth or social status is on par with him, and there are many who are even higher than the first line. It's no wonder that Zhang Xie Zu has this thought.

"No, no," Di Tianxia waved his hand, "There are only two seats officially absorbed this year. You are one of them, and the other guests are just normal business interactions. ”

"Then this seat is not easy." Zhang Xie Zu asked casually: "Can you reveal who the other one is?" ”

"Cheng, you'll know each other sooner or later anyway." Di Tianxia said indifferently: "The Dongying devil over there is." ”

This sentence is said in Chinese, and the "words" used are even more Chinese. Zhang Xie Zu heard the music, and the corner of his eyes skimmed slightly towards the Zhiqilang side of the Dahao Courtyard, "It turned out to be him...... The heir to Japan's largest chaebol, I heard that several cabinet members were selected with the help of his family? ”

"Zhang, you still misunderstand one thing." Di Tianxia winked at Zhang Xie Zu, "Your financial power is naturally valuable. But the fundamental reason for being selected is your own talent and potential. In particular, you used the relationship of the Qin family this time to intervene in China's "Xingzhou wreckage" in a very timely manner. We are very satisfied with that. ”

"That's when I had a whim. It's a pity that that thing plunged headlong into the East China Sea at the junction of China, Japan and South Korea, and if I want to fly a little crooked, it will be much easier for me to show my hands and feet when I come to the South Seas. ”

Zhang Xie Zu drained the champagne in the glass in one gulp, "Alien things...... Who doesn't have a red eye? The Yankees, in particular, are going crazy right now. ”

Since last year's "Starboat Fall" incident shook the world, the United States and other technologically advanced countries have turned the world upside down. The EU is even more greedy and drooling, but it is too far away from the Pacific Ocean, so it can only try its best to pull Australia and New Zealand or something to try to intervene. But what better than the United States of America, which directly controls Japan and South Korea.

Zhang Xie Zu said secretly: No wonder the pen of the "Divine Kingdom Revival Association" will come to the line of the "Snake of Wisdom". I think it's also a resentment of the U.S. invasion of the starship heritage in Japanese waters.

After the two chatted for a few words, several celebrities and elites from the political and business worlds on the deck also came over with smiles on their faces and took the initiative to greet Di Tianxia. Zhang Xie Zu naturally became familiar by the way. There was even a deal with Abramovich.

"Hey, Di." Abramovich seemed a little tired of constant communication, and suddenly asked, "Is your black monster going to participate in this year's competition?" ”

The "Grand Tournament" in the mouth of the Russian oligarchs is the "Ultimate Fighting Array" of the membership-based World Martial Arts Challenge. The original promoter was the super-rich man in Europe - the Duke of Hermans. The tycoon, who was fond of xenomartial arts, and several of his best friends, first organized a private club called the "Fighting Array Club". Take the discovered fighters in a grappling match that has no rules other than "empty hands", and even no weight class. Since then, it has gradually developed into the world's most authoritative martial arts event far beyond K-1, MMA and other sports. What was originally a private club was upgraded to the World Martial Arts Federation, with a million-dollar entrance fee, a member who could nominate a fighter to participate, and the top 10* had more than billions of dollars each.

But since last year, the throne of honor of the martial arts emperor has been won by a fighter recommended by Di Tianxia, "Behemoth", with terrifying overwhelming strength. Speaking of which, Zhang Xie Zu will know this "friend" because he is also a member of the World Martial Arts Association. One of the fighters under his command is even in the top 10.

"Abu, you know, there's no reason why I shouldn't let Behemoth participate. Di Tian smiled at the super-oligarchs of Russia.

"Behemoth" is exactly the nickname of his fighter, Gunnil Gorus. From the book of Job, a powerful monster created by God on the fifth day of creation.

"Well, I don't know where you got such a great guy. The bastards I found in the Siberian training camp were all unthreatening babies compared to him...... Hey, I said, would you like to transfer him to me? ”

Abramovich waved his hand, "I can pay $250 million for the transfer!" God testify, I want such a fighter so badly! ”

For Abramovich's proposal, Di Tianxia just smiled. Both he and Abu know that they can make more than $100 million a year to win the hegemony of the "King of Martial Arts" at the "World Martial Arts Conference". What's more, there are still some disputes that cannot be resolved by face or legal means, and they don't want to completely tear their faces, which can also be solved through a duel between fighters.

"Behemoth is not only my fighter, but also my friend." Di Tianxia raised his wine glass and said leisurely: "Don't be too disappointed, he is not the strongest guy in the world, you should look for more." ”

Abramovich was clearly not convinced, but did not continue the topic any further. When Zhang Xiezu and Abramovich were talking about the political and economic trend of the world situation, Di Tianxia appropriately bid farewell to several celebrities in the political and economic circles.

Back in his cabin suite, he picked up a magazine on his desk that seemed to have been flipped through many times, his eyes revealing mixed emotions, and he stared at a page for a full three minutes.

On that page, printed is a photograph of the latest Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of a girl and boy sitting in a dirty hospital corner in Asia's largest third-world country, with a pure smile like an angel of life in the dim light and dust.

A few days ago, Di Tianxia occasionally flipped through this magazine, but he quickly recognized the girl's somewhat familiar facial features, as well as the very special dark purple pupils. With his power, he quickly found out all the information he wanted.

- Chen Xin, Chen Xian, and the Chinese boy named Li Pu.

He pulled out his wallet from his bosom, pulled out an old photograph that was slightly yellowed, and placed it next to the magazine.

The photo shows three boys and girls in their early teens, standing barefoot on the beach. The sweet little face of the girl with the ponytail was full of warm smiles like the sun, which was very eye-catching. Her hands were holding the hands of two teenagers with completely different temperaments around her, and the three of them seemed extremely good.

"Lian Tianhao, Chen Tianxin, and Di Tianxia will never be separated, they are best friends!" On the back of the yellowed photo, there is a round, innocent and warm Chinese handwriting, obviously a girl's handwriting.
