“Within the fifteen-day validity period of the notice, I think the only thing that can attract the Star Hunters’ interest is the upcoming Youth Training Competition,” Liu Shuang spoke solemnly in the meeting room.

The other Spirit Executors didn’t speak, but by their expressions, they apparently agreed with this judgment.

Since the Star Hunters were only interested in the Starstone, they would certainly be interested in the nineteen Starstones offered by the Youth Training Competition.

“These Starstones will be transferred from the association’s headquarters tomorrow,” Xu Qingmo frowned. “From tomorrow until the end of the Youth Training Competition or until all Starstones are used up, we need to be on high alert.”

“Chairman, maybe we can take the initiative and strike first?” another Spirit Executor suggested. “How did the Star Hunters send this notice? Can we find them based on this and arrest them?”

“Naturally, I’ve thought of this.” Xu Qingmo shook her head. “The notice was delivered by a little girl. She was rewarded with candy to deliver the letter.” “The girl never saw the actual sender, and the only fingerprints on the notice belong to the girl.”

“I have also checked surveillance from the surrounding area; the person was standing in the blind spot of the cameras.”

“So, using this clue to find them is unrealistic.”

“What cunning creatures!” the Spirit Executor sighed, abandoning the idea of actively searching for them.

“Can we…” another Spirit Executor hesitated and then spoke, “Delay the Youth Training Competition?”

“Will the problem be solved if the competition only begins after half a month?” “Delaying the competition is no longer an option and could likely cause a more dreadful negative impact.” Xu Qingmo sighed, “Firstly, the Starstones sent by the Association’s headquarters are almost here; it is impossible to return them at this time.”

“So, even if we delay the competition, the Starstones will still be in the Association’s hands, and we will not only be unable to avoid this, but instead we will need to deploy additional security forces.”

“This is only one aspect of it.” Liu Shuang began to voice his concern upon remembering something, “This year’s Youth Training Competition is somewhat special.”

“Correct.” Xu Qingmo took out another printed report and distributed it among the Spirit Executors. “Take a look.”

As everyone in the room began reading the report, she spoke softly, “The number of participants in this year’s Youth Training Competition is over sixty, which is four or five times more than the previous years.”

“And all these extra participants are basically from other cities in Tianhua State, and even one from out of state.”

“Tickets for the Audience Seats for the Duel and Ranking competitions also sold out quickly. According to backstage statistics, 52% of these audiences are from other places, even surpassing local audiences.”

The whole room went silent.

They knew the reasons well.

The recent Tianhua State training competition that just ended yesterday must be the cause of this.

Star Hunters, who had not shown up in Bai Lu Mountain City before, chose to operate here probably because of this timing.

If there were only local players and local audiences, then postponing the competition could still be feasible to some extent. However, with so many foreign players and audiences, the negative impact of delaying the competition could be much larger.

“Therefore, the Youth Training Competition must proceed as usual,” Xu Qingmo spoke solemnly, then her expression slightly relaxed, “Fortunately, the Star Hunters are only interested in the Starstones.”

“As they claimed, in the hundreds of crimes committed by the Star Hunters in the past, there have been no incidents of casualties.”

“So, we don’t have to worry about the safety of the audience and contestants, we just need to go all out to protect the Starstones and stop the actions of the Star Hunters.”

“Chairman, didn’t Mr. Qu Cheng leave our city this morning, right after the provincial training competition?” another Spirit Executor suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up, “If he can return to Bai Lu Mountain City…”

The faces of the other Spirit Executors also showed hopeful expressions.

Chairman of the Tianhua State Association, Level Three Spirit Executor, a powerful Spirit Chef Qu Cheng who has opened six Star Veins.

With him here, all criminal activities of the Star Hunters will be thwarted.

“In fact, I have already reported the situation to him,” Xu Qingmo shook her head. “Mr. Qu Cheng can’t make it; he has other matters of higher importance to deal with.”

“And the timing of this notice is very cunning.” Xu Qingmo pointed to the notice on the table, “It arrived almost as soon as Mr. Qu Cheng had just left.”

“It seems that they are certain Mr. Qu Cheng will not be able to return.”

“Damn it!” A Spirit Executor couldn’t help but slam the table.

Although they had heard of this organization before, this was their first encounter.

For a moment, they felt as if there were eyes watching them all the time, giving them an uncomfortable sensation.

“Chairman, should we inform the Vice-Chairman about this?” Liu Shuang couldn’t help but speak. “If it’s just us, I’m worried about the loss of the Starstones.”

“No need, let her rest at Luxing Garden,” Xu Qingmo’s eyes softened a bit. “You don’t need to worry, we do have assistance.”

She looked towards the meeting room door, “Come in!”

The meeting room door was pushed open, and a figure walked in slowly.

Even though he wasn’t tall, his presence inexplicably comforted the room.

“I’m aware of the situation.”

Zhou Tianhao, who had just become the provincial training champion yesterday, looked at the people in the meeting room.

“Before the end of the Youth Training Competition, I will stay in Bai Lu Mountain City to assist with security.”

“Eh? You are Qin Lang’s fan?”

After listening to Liu Tianchen’s statement, Qi Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide. She glanced at him, then at Qin Lang, a strong curiosity on her face.

Zhao Chen slightly stroked his chin, pondering why he doesn’t have any fans.

Even Du Weiwei showed surprise and disbelief on her face.

“Yes, I’ve been following you for a while!” Liu Tianchen nodded, looking at Qin Lang, who was sitting upright in surprise, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, “1 want to have a Food Fight with you!”

“I advise you to think it over,” Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help but speak up, “Qin Lang is the champion of the Dongxia City Cooking Competition.”

“I know.” Liu Tianchen nodded, “But I still want to have a Food Fight with you!

I want to see how big the gap between us really is!”

“If that’s the case…” Qin Lang gradually regained his composure, nodding, “Sure, let’s do it.”

Although he didn’t know how this youngster from another city came to know about him, he wouldn’t decline a Food Fight delivered to his door, “I choose the Limited Cuisine Theme.”

Qin Lang took out the Duel Initiator, the two embedded the Spirit Chef Badges. After finishing the corresponding adjustments, the theme quickly stopped rolling and was decided.
