1968

Jin Zhong Zhao was cuffed, and the people from the Pickle Nation became excited, rushing forward one after another.

"What are you doing? What do you want?!" A black-faced police officer pointed at a bunch of pickled vegetables and scolded them.

"All of you, don't be rash. Go find the ambassador!" Jin Zhong Zhao quickly said.

As Jin Zhong Zhao spoke, the pickled vegetables naturally quieted down. After that, he was pushed into the police car by the police and was taken away.

"What do we do now?" Assistant Pu asked.

"Hurry up and find the ambassador, get the person out first!" Someone said.

"Let's go find the ambassador!" Assistant Pu said.

The group of people quickly called for a few cars and drove towards the embassy in a grandiose manner.

On the other side.

At this time, the sky had already darkened. Within the Chinese Martial Arts Association, the welcoming banquet had already begun.

Xu Taiping gave a banquet tonight to entertain contestants from all over Asia.

There was only one table for the banquet, and it was a very large one. It was more than enough for thirty people to sit at the table, but there were only three less people at the table.

"It's getting late. Since they're not here yet, we shouldn't wait for them, right?" Xu Taiping looked at his watch and said.

"People from pickled vegetables country are still as arrogant as ever!" Some people could not help but exclaim.

"That's right. Every time there is an event, the pickled vegetables will be the last to arrive. Arrogance is rooted in their personality!" Some people agreed.

"Haha, they have the right to be arrogant, don't they? Mr. Jin Zhongzhou is the second strongest fighter in Asia! " Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"The second expert? Hmph, it's just the second highest in terms of fighting strength! " A martial artist from the Southmoon Kingdom disdainfully said.

"Indeed, having the second highest combat strength does not mean that he is the second strongest!" A representative of one of the three countries added.

"Alright, let's eat and ignore them for now!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

Everyone nodded their heads and began to eat and drink.

At the same time, on the other side.

In a police station in Lower Sea City.

The Chinese ambassador of pickled vegetables said all sorts of things to save Jin Zhong Zhao from being detained by the police.

Still, he had to pay a deposit before he was released.

"Just a little more!" "Recently, China has been fighting against the dark to get rid of evil, and any matters that cause trouble will be blown up. You have damaged the things in the hotel, and you have even beaten up someone, and if it was in normal times, then you will have to be detained for at least 15 days. Fortunately, you admitted your wrongs earlier, otherwise, you would have to stay in the detention center for 15 days, and then you won't be able to participate in the competition for the next few days!"

"Xu Taiping! All of them are Xu Taiping!" Jin Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and said, "He purposely ignored us in order to arouse our anger and make us do something rash. I couldn't hold it in any longer and fell into his trap. Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador."

"This is what I should do. Since you already know that this is his scheme, then you should be careful, the Chinese are all very sinister. The more they treat you like this, the more it proves that they are afraid of you!" As long as you can win a spot in the world's strongest martial arts competition, it will be a huge inspiration for our entire nation. If you can eliminate Xu Taiping on this basis, then not only will you be able to avenge yourself, you will also be able to suppress China. the ambassador said.

"I got it!" Jin Zhong Zhao nodded.

"Oh yeah, I heard that you haven't found a place to stay yet. How about this, why don't you go to the embassy?" the ambassador asked.

"No need, Xu Taiping wants to humiliate us by giving us a presidential suite, giving us a single room for ordinary people, a standard room for ordinary people, no matter what, if we can't find a presidential suite, I have to find a single room. If we can't find one, then that means we've already lost on this matter, that's impossible, Mr. Ambassador, rest assured, I will take care of my temper! I won't be provoked so easily! " Jin Zhong Zhao said.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you. There are still a lot of high class hotels in the Lower Sea City, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a single room!" I'll be leaving first. I still have things to do! " the ambassador said.

"Alright, take care!" Jin Zhong Zhao said.

"En!"

As the ambassador left, Jin and the rest of his team once again started looking for a hotel in Bajhai City.

In fact, Jin Zhong Zhao mistakenly estimated Xu Taiping's influence in Xianhai City.

Jin Zhong Zhao called almost all the five-star hotels in the city, and the result was no five-star hotel had a single room.

All of the five-star hotels and suites in the city were booked, and the person who booked these rooms was none other than Xu Taiping …

This time, everyone on Jin Zhong Zhao's side was helpless. They never thought that Xu Taiping would be so ruthless as to order all of the rooms and suites of the five star hotels in Shanghai.

"Don't worry!" Jin Chongguo said coldly, "Chinese people love money. I don't believe that if I pay more, these hotels will not give me a room!"

"How much more?" someone asked.

"Ten times!" Jin Zhong Zhao clenched his fists, "Call me at once and tell these hotels that we are willing to pay ten times the price for the rooms and suites. As long as there is one, we will take it!"

"Yes sir!"

Half an hour later.

It was already 8: 15 in the evening.

"Mr. Jin, even if the price is ten times higher, they still won't give us a room!" Assistant Pu Zi said with tears in his eyes.

"Me too, they won't give it to you!" Another pickle said.

He did not expect that even if they offered ten times the original price, none of these hotels would be willing to give them even a single room. And the reason they gave was surprisingly the same, that was, the room was requested by Xu Taiping, so, no matter how much money you spent, they would never give it to him!

Xu Taiping's influence in Xia Hai City was terrifying to the extreme.

"Since there's no five-star hotel, then let's look for a four-star hotel! I don't believe that a four star hotel doesn't have a single room, nor a suite! " Jin Zhong Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

More than an hour later.

Nine thirty.

"I don't have a four-star hotel with a single room, a suite …" Assistant Pu Zi said with tears in his eyes.

"Me too."

"Me too!"

The pickled vegetables from the crowd said one by one.

"Then three stars! 3 stars! " Jin Zhong Zhao roared.

Everyone could only pick up their phones and continue contacting the 3-star hotel …

It was already 9.30 pm, the 10th day of the new year. The sky was freezing and there were still a few snowflakes floating in the air.

All the pickled vegetables were standing by the side of the road with their suitcases in hand. The cold wind was blowing and they had to take out their phones to make a phone call. Their hands were already frozen stiff.

"Mr. King, can we consider going to a place like KFC McDonald's?" Someone suggested in a low voice.

"Let's fight right here, why are we going to KFC McDonald's? If Xu Taiping knew, he would think we were going to live in those places. If a martial artist can't even handle this little bit of cold, then what kind of martial artist is he!" Jin Chongguo said with a dark expression.

As the number one expert in the pickled vegetables delegation, he could do whatever he wanted. Everyone could only continue to call the hotel while it was still cold.

At this moment, at the headquarters of China's Martial Arts Association in Bajie City, the drawing of lots for the Asian region of the World's Strongest Martial Arts Competition was going on like a raging fire.

Inside the venue, a warm wind was blowing.

Martial artists from ten countries, as well as their respective teams, were all gathered here.

Journalists from all over the world's media outlets were also waiting here.

There was boiling hot tea, coffee, milk tea, and even exquisite snacks for everyone to enjoy. Although the fight would start the next day, tonight, the atmosphere among everyone was quite good.

"Why hasn't the delegation of the pickle nation country arrived yet?" someone asked.

"Who knows, maybe he fell asleep in the hotel!" Someone replied in a teasing manner.

At this time, Zhou Weidao, as the host of the drawing ceremony, walked up to the platform.

"Welcome fellow martial artists from all over Asia. Today, we will gather here and we will elect three contestants who will represent Asia in the World's Strongest Martial Arts Tournament. These three contestants will be our glory in Asia. I hope that no matter who can become one of these three, we will applaud, cheer for, and cheer for them!" Zhou Weidao said loudly.

There was a round of applause.

After the applause had stopped, Zhou Weidao continued, "Everyone should know the rules of this time's preliminaries. We selected six seeded contestants based on their combat strength. The seeded contestants would not participate in the first round of the day after tomorrow, and the remaining twenty-four contestants would choose twelve victors in a one-on-one battle tomorrow morning. The twelve victors would then choose six victors in a one-on-one battle tomorrow afternoon. These six winners will fight with six seeded contestants in the day after tomorrow, and ultimately choose six winners. After that, we will continue to fight in the day after tomorrow, and the final three winners will become the representatives of the world's strongest martial arts gathering in Asia! Now, let me announce the names of the seeded contestants for this time's selection. They are: the first seed, Mr. God of Heaven from the Pellet Nation, the second seed, the third seed, the first contestant from China, the fourth seed, the second seed, the third seed, the first contestant from China, Mr. Xu Taiping from China, the fifth seed, the third seed, the sixth seed, Mr. Ba Tu from the Ancient Meng Country!
