Chapter 1284: Chapter 1281

Since it was their first meeting, the atmosphere was as cold as the temperature itself!

The most crucial point was that there had been quite a bit of friction between the two in the past.

Take the last time, for instance, when Oliver Walker made Guan Peng’s Silver Dragon Group stop all cooperation with Wright Cars, causing significant losses for the Wright Company.

This also led to the current turbulent situation!

So, it was unrealistic to think that Wesley Wright did not harbor resentment in his heart!

While Oliver Walker did not rush to speak, Wesley Wright was even less inclined to talk. He wanted to see how long the young man before him could last on the Extreme Cold Ice Mat.

And one must know, this Extreme Cold Ice Mat was made from millennia-old ice from deep within the Snow Mountain, and its chill was not something that would dissipate in just a moment.

Even though he’d grown up in severe cold, it was difficult for him to last more than half an hour on the Extreme Cold Ice Mat!

Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Wright Company’s dual-wield style was so incredibly fast.

After all, in cold conditions, speed is naturally limited.

And those who could practice Inner Strength on the Extreme Cold Ice Mat are often special-level ninjas!

In the over four hundred years of Wright Company’s history, only Jessica Wright, with the mental state of an advanced ninja, could withstand the chill of the Extreme Cold Ice Mat.

But…

And one must know, although Jessica Wright’s mental state had not reached the special-level ninja, her combat power had already surpassed most special-level ninjas.

After all, she was ranked tenth on the ninja leaderboard!

This was also why Jessica Wright was known as the flower of Higashimoto.

Of course, such things were naturally unknown to Oliver Walker, who only felt a vast consumption of inner ‘Qi’ from within his organs.

And the chill beneath him was growing stronger and stronger!

He also tried to use his inner ‘Qi’ to transform into thermal energy in an attempt to melt the ice mat, but after several attempts, he ended up failing.

If things continued this way, he felt he would have a hard time lasting more than an hour.

Looking at that old fox, Wesley Wright, although he too was sitting on a block of ice, one could clearly feel that the level of cold was not the same.

The silence within the great hall was so intense that they could almost hear each other’s heartbeats!

Oliver Walker’s eyes sparkled with a sharp light as he said jokingly, “Mr. Wright, the distance between us is too great. Even if we are to establish a hierarchy, there’s no need to be so distant, right?”

“Why don’t you come and sit by my side!”

He saw that next to him, there was an ice mat similar to the one beneath him.

He had a hard time!

But how could he let that old guy be comfortable?

The most important thing was, he knew about the pride of the people from Eastern Alliance. It was difficult to subdue them without defeating them.

If he couldn’t make them yield, it would be tough to discuss anything!

“Hmm?”

Wesley Wright frowned slightly, but then he quickly smiled and said, “Mr. Walker, you make a good point!”

He wanted to refuse!

But if he refused, wouldn’t that be the same as giving Oliver Walker the opportunity to rise?

This show of power was intended to gain some advantages!

So he absolutely could not show weakness; otherwise, the trouble would only get bigger!

“Please!”

With Oliver Walker taking the dominant role, he gestured Wesley Wright to sit on the ice mat beside him.

You want to take advantage?

It’s not that easy!

Contesting the depth of inner ‘Qi’?

He believed that he wouldn’t lose to anyone!

Inside Wesley Wright’s heart, there were a thousand unwilling sentiments as he sat down on the Extreme Cold Ice Mat, his body shivering from the cold.

Yet, he had to feign composure with a smile, “I am quite curious about what exactly is the relationship between you and Jessica.”

He knew he wouldn’t last much longer, at most half an hour, so he took the initiative to speak first.

Moreover, he was the host here. If he kept silent, the embarrassment would inevitably be on him after the story spread.

After all, Oliver Walker was a man of special status, the Chaplain of this country!

And his personal disciples were directly related to the life and death of the business within the company, so he could not afford to be too reckless.
