Chapter 1283: Chapter 1280
“Mr. Walker, this is an etiquette only offered to the most honored guests at Wright Company!”
Takeshita Jun’s gaze fell in disappointment, for he had not seen Oliver Walker tremble with cold. Then he added, “This is the ‘Frozen Ceremony,’ symbolizing that the guest is as pure and sacred as an iceberg!”
Oliver Walker naturally scoffed at such an explanation!
If it were just a matter of etiquette, there was no reason not to inform him. If an ordinary person came and forgot to bring a down jacket, wouldn’t they just freeze to death right here in this courtyard?
And he, too, had been gathering the inner ‘Qi’ within his organs, constantly resisting the severe cold.
Little did he know that this was exactly what Wesley Wright had planned!
After passing through the front hall and the Central Hall, they arrived in front of the great hall!
However, the temperature here was clearly much colder than outside.
Oliver Walker guessed that the current temperature had reached minus forty degrees.
And bear in mind, this was not a dry cold!
But a damp cold!
A dry cold of minus forty degrees might have happened in many places.
But a damp cold of minus forty degrees was absolutely inhumane, no longer suitable for human habitation.
Even Oliver Walker, protected by his inner ‘Qi,’ felt the bitterly cold wind, which still blew like Hidden Weapons piercing his bones, as if one could hear the tiny sounds of ice forming on his skin.
But thanks to the soothing warmth of his inner ‘Qi,’ the temperature of his body’s surface quickly returned to normal!
“What a joy it is to have friends come from afar!”
“Mr. Walker, please!”
Just then, Wesley Wright, who was kneeling at the center of the great hall facing the entrance, suddenly opened his eyes, which gleamed with a sharp light.
But when he saw Oliver Walker’s composed expression, he was somewhat surprised!
Inside the great hall, without the heating or air conditioning turned on, it’s no exaggeration to say the temperature plummeted to below minus fifty degrees, nearly ninety degrees away from the optimal body surface temperature of thirty-six point five degrees for humans.
Why was this man able to stay so calm?
It’s as if he wasn’t bothered by the cold at all!
In fact, the warriors outside were more powerful the closer they stood to the great hall.
After all, while the temperatures outside were low, they weren’t lethal. Should the ninjas normally stationed at the entrance be moved to the great hall, they would have turned to ice sculptures long ago!
The purpose of this was to make Oliver Walker too embarrassed to admit he was cold and request heating.
After all, strong individuals care about their face.
Just think, if those with lower Cultivation outside were simply wearing thin clothes, how could a stronger person have the face to put on a cotton coat?
If he was too embarrassed to request warmth, then he could only rely on the inner ‘Qi’ within his organs to fend off the cold, which would deplete his inner strength significantly.
Even considering the entire Eastern Alliance, there were only a few individuals who could withstand such a challenge.
After all, this great hall held a cunning plan.
“The Wright family head is too kind!”
Oliver Walker replied with a smile neither humble nor arrogant, “I have never seen such warm hospitality before!”
He had already sensed the cunning plan.
Perhaps this great hall was indeed the coldest place in the entire Wright Company?
And indeed, as he had guessed, that was why Wesley Wright was the only person present.
“As long as Mr. Walker is pleased!”
After being exposed, Wesley Wright said without a blush or heartbeat, “Please have a seat!”
Following the direction Wesley Wright pointed to, Oliver Walker looked at the transparent, ice-cold cushion that was still emitting chill. He frowned slightly but then quickly smiled, “Thank you!”
Not sitting would be against etiquette!
However, when he sat down, he saw the hint of an almost imperceptible smile at the corner of Wesley Wright’s mouth.
For following that, a piercing cold surged from the seat, assaulting his body in an instant.
Oliver Walker was momentarily stunned, feeling as if his blood would freeze in an instant.
After cursing inwardly, he hastily gathered more inner ‘Qi,’ beginning to fight off the cold.
But even with his swift reaction, a layer of pristine frost still formed on his skin!
His hair even turned as hard as steel!
