Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Hawker Center

As Yang Chen's words fell, several figures emerged from a small passage amidst the container stacks.

The first to step out was a middle-aged Caucasian man with chestnut curls, standing over six feet tall, robust in build. He wore casual leather attire with dark denim jeans and carried a small travel leather bag. He looked like a foreign tourist arriving for a summer vacation, exuding no sense of danger whatsoever.

"Lord King of the Underworld, it's an honor to meet you. I'm Captain Morris Klaus from Eagle Team Three," Morris introduced himself with undisguised joy upon seeing Yang Chen.

Yang Chen shook his hand. "Morris, I like your team's attire this time." Following Morris, eleven more team members of various ethnicities—eight men and three women—emerged. They wore autumnal casual wear, carrying small travel cases or backpacks, looking nothing like elite mercenaries.

"Lord King of the Underworld, the people from the Celestial Iron Brigade are really hospitable. We've been hesitant to come out, but thankfully you arrived in time," Morris shrugged, chuckling alongside a few teammates.

Yang Chen observed the excited gazes of his team members and felt a wave of emotion. The group sent by Soren was indeed impressive; even if he encountered them on the street, he wouldn't recognize them as mercenaries.

"Have you all had dinner?" Yang Chen asked.

A fair-skinned woman with a prominent nose and delicate features happily replied in Italian, "Is our idol, the King of the Underworld, inviting us to dinner?"

"Adeline, didn't you already eat three German meatloaf sandwiches?" teased another petite female teammate, laughing. "Your diet plan is bound to fail."

"Oh, Fanny, you reminded me. Then I'll just have juice," Adeline said dejectedly.

Soon, the Eagle members began discussing famous summer foods from Yansha, asking Yang Chen what he would treat them to, completely ignoring the armed special forces and a few members of the Celestial Iron Brigade nearby.

Yang Chen gestured for them to quiet down and smiled wryly. "I know you're proud, but if you want to eat sooner, I suggest you not get too excited. They might not have had dinner yet, despite pointing guns at you in the middle of the night."

Morris chuckled and gestured for the team to stay quiet. Immediately, everyone fell silent.

Yang Chen led them away, passing by the Jiaolong troops. All eyes silently followed Yang Chen as he escorted the group away.

Yongye stood up with a solemn face, eyes showing a hint of darkness but refrained from causing any trouble.

Once Yang Chen and the twelve members of the Eagle Team were far away, Yongye gritted his teeth and angrily questioned the Grey Robe, "Why didn't you stop them? Are you afraid?"

"They don't carry any killing intent," Grey Cloth said calmly.

"Repressing their killing intent makes them even more formidable than special forces soldiers!" Eternal Night exclaimed angrily. "With twelve people like this, how can we let them stay in Zhonghai?"

Mo Lin chuckled, "Miss Jian visited our headquarters recently and mentioned that Lord Pluto has already chosen his Queen. But Lord Pluto, you're not being generous! You should let everyone meet the Queen, after all, she will be everyone's consort."

"This is Rose, also my woman, but not the Queen," Yang Chen said helplessly, silently cursing Jian for gossiping like a big-mouthed Soren; now all his other friends probably knew, which could cause trouble in the future.

Mo Lin and his team nodded knowingly, but still showed strong interest and genuine respect. They approached Rose and greeted her awkwardly in their broken Yanxia dialect.

Rose asked Yang Chen, "You had me prepare all this late at night to welcome friends from afar, and you won't introduce them?"

"This is Mo Lin, and these are his team members. Actually, today is the first time I've met them too. They were sent by a friend to help us with some issues, and they're all my friends," Yang Chen admitted he couldn't remember the names of these team members.

A female team member named Fanny laughed, "Miss Rose, you're so beautiful. It's rare to see an Eastern woman as stunning as you."

"Don't embarrass yourself, Fanny. Eighty percent of your life was spent in Northern Europe. How many Eastern women have you really seen?" another team member chuckled.

Fanny blushed and kicked the man. "Next time, I'll kick you with my high heels!"

Since Rose didn't understand much foreign languages, Yang Chen translated for her. After hearing their words, she thanked them and then struggled with what to say next.

Yang Chen smiled at Mo Lin and the others. "My Rose darling doesn't speak much foreign languages. From today onwards, you'll rely on Rose for everything here. I suggest you start learning Yanxia hard."

Mo Lin awkwardly emphasized in his strange Yanxia dialect, "Miss Rose, we're really sorry. Yanxia is quite difficult, but we'll try our best because it's His Majesty Pluto's request."

Rose chuckled at their strange accents. "Take it slow. From now on, you'll live in this apartment building. All floors are yours. If you need anything, just let me know directly. I'll be responsible for taking care of you because you're my husband's friends."

"Can we eat at the food stalls every day?" Mo Lin asked curiously.

"Food stalls?" Rose seemed puzzled.

Yang Chen coughed awkwardly and explained what happened before their arrival.

Rose burst into laughter, teasingly glancing at Yang Chen, annoyed yet amused that he brought foreigners from far away straight to eat at food stalls. Only he could do such a thing, and these foreigners even developed a liking for it.

"I'll make sure you eat even more delicious things," Rose said with a mixture of exasperation and amusement.

The Sea Eagles' team members immediately looked adoringly at Rose. "I think the Virgin Mary should look just like you, Miss Rose."
