The banquet hall of The No.1 Military Academy was extremely large, with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, illuminating all the utensils below with a bright and magnificent glow.
The guests who attended the banquet came from all walks of life, mostly dressed in splendid and brilliant outfits. As long as one had the ability to connect with The No.1 Military Academy, they would hardly miss this school anniversary celebration.
However, the leaders of the various military regions and their armies were the most enthusiastic about this occasion.
This was an excellent opportunity for them to recruit talents for the military regions they served.
Due to the special nature of The No.1 Military Academy, the leaders of military regions from several races attended this school anniversary celebration, and their gazes would occasionally fall upon the group that included Chloe and the others.
Chloe felt deeply touched by this.
After exchanging glances with countless men and women, she finally couldn't take it anymore and slid down to squat in front of the table, with the guests' legs in front of her and the heavy tablecloth behind.
After all, they were small, so by hiding like this, those who had already grown tall and big wouldn't be able to see their figures.
Chloe silently gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
At first, Katherine was still a bit hesitant, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate..."
It was not at all in line with etiquette and was far from elegant.
But in the end, seeing Qin Huaibei and Daniel one by one squatting down, and even Anderson slowly disappearing in front of the table after eating enough sweets, Katherine remained silent for a long time.
Eventually, she decided to follow the crowd.
Qin Huaibei patted her shoulder, "Good girl, well done."
Katherine: "..."
She silently brushed Qin Huaibei's hand off her shoulder.
Sometimes, compromising does not mean agreeing, but rather, a reluctant act born out of necessity.
The banquet had not officially started yet, and the atmosphere on-site was extremely relaxed.
Soothing music flowed above the banquet hall, and some people had already started showing off their graceful moves on the dance floor.
Daniel stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth:
"Seriously, this kind of banquet is not fun at all. Just now, an old man kept shoving his business cards at me, saying that after graduation, I must work in their military region."
Daniel's voice was muffled as he continued, "Pah! He doesn't recognize me, but I recognize him!"
"Back when we were in the Werewolf Tribe's Territory, it was this old guy, along with Kamen, who mocked me, calling me a simple-minded idiot wolf."
Unexpectedly, Chloe was charmed by the term "idiot wolf."
But when she thought about the seemingly bullied and pitiful Daniel, she held back from laughing out loud.
Anderson raised his eyes to look at him, "Then what happened?"
Daniel's voice got louder, "Of course, I beat Kamen up! He said I was simple-minded, but my strength is greater than his! He couldn't beat me at all!"
As he spoke, there was an obvious sense of pride in Daniel's tone.
He snorted with a laugh, "If it weren't for the fact that the old man had already left by the time I was about to beat up Kamen, I would have definitely beaten him up too."
Everyone: "..."
Well, it was indeed something Daniel would do.
While the cubs were chatting happily on this side, Ren Yunying was searching all over for them.
By the time Ren Yunying finally broke through the obstacles and found the cubs gathered under the table, her expression had changed from anger to helplessness.
She looked at the five cubs squatting on the ground without any decorum, then at the sweets and snacks they had piled up on the ground like hamsters hoarding food, and felt a slight headache:
"Ancestors, may I call you ancestors?"
Chloe slurped a milk candy into her mouth, shyly saying, "Ah? How could I be so presumptuous?"
Ren Yunying: "...Don't be poor, get up with me."
The others reluctantly stood up from the ground.
The height of the cubs was probably just a head taller than the long table laden with desserts and sweet treats.
Therefore, the military region leaders on the other side saw Ren Yunying merely saying something to the ground, and soon after, five cub heads popped out from under the table in unison.
The appearance of these cubs was exquisite and adorable, yet their expressions were all quite resentful.
Except for the little silver-haired girl at the edge.
Chloe reluctantly ate the last little cake and slowly followed Ren Yunying into the crowd.
As expected, the place they were heading to was where the leaders of various military regions and students from other military academies gathered.
Ren Yunying lamented, "You all have ambitions, don't you? The military regions offer great training opportunities. Don't you want to take advantage of them?"
Chloe murmured softly, "But I don't need to work in a military region."
Thinking about her background, Ren Yunying choked for a moment, then said, "Well, you're an exception. What about the others?"
Except for Chloe and Anderson, the other cubs' future lives were likely to involve rising through the ranks in military regions.
They did need the military regions as a stepping stone.
At this point, Daniel defiantly said, "I'm going to be the Wolf King in the future, so I won't crave that tiny bit of land in the military regions."
Ren Yunying: "..."
The other cubs immediately burst into laughter.
Ren Yunying shook her head helplessly, "Your dream is beautiful, but whether you can achieve it or not depends on your own destiny."
Daniel mumbled that he would definitely succeed.
As they spoke, they had already reached the gathering of people from the military regions.
Chloe glanced into the crowd and quickly spotted the leader of the Blood Race's military region, she didn't know which number.
He was a young-looking man who, upon seeing Chloe, respectfully bent slightly and greeted her with an impeccable smile.
The Blood Race always had endless patience and respect for the Progenitor bloodline.
Chloe returned a smile and obediently stood by Ren Yunying's side.
Ren Yunying seemed quite familiar with this kind of work. She first pushed Qin Huaibei out and introduced him in a gentle voice:
"Little Bei, this is the commander of the Ninth Military Region of the Human Race, Mr. Zhang."
Qin Huaibei shed the unrestrained demeanor he had in front of his companions and instantly became dignified and upright.
He politely bent his body, "Hello, Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang had some graying at his temples, suggesting he was already advanced in age, but his spirit was still robust.
He looked at Qin Huaibei with satisfaction: "Not bad, I've also seen this kid's calm and courageous performance in the previous competition, he has the demeanor of a great general."
Saying this, Mr. Zhang gently patted his shoulder and took out a business card from his pocket, handing it over:
"If you're interested after graduation, you can consider our Ninth Military District. By the way, your father and I are old acquaintances. He must be pleased to see his son performing so outstandingly."
Qin Huaibei took the card, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Zhang."
Afterwards, people from other military districts also gathered around, kindly introducing their respective situations.
It was like a large matchmaking event.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, only Anderson had a profound gaze, exchanging a glance with the vampiric commander in the crowd.
There won't be any clichéd bloody plots like usurping power, avenging a father, or killing enemies.
As for allowing Anderson to leave his undead soldier status and become worthy of Chloe, these are things I had already planned before starting to write. Don't worry about it.
