The 50 invitations were signed and sent to the first person to participate in the auction. Zhou Chen did not sign the other 50 invitations. Actually, he had done this on purpose. Other than the people he appointed, the rest of the people who wanted to participate in the auction would have to see if they were fated.
When he sent out the invitations, Zhou Chen had already foreseen that fifty unnamed invitations might cause a fight, but he had underestimated the temptation of the invitations. The death of the first captain to discover an unnamed invitation was only the beginning.
Following the second and third invitations, the entire sea was in an uproar. Countless people were eager to obtain an invitation to the auction house, so they frantically inquired about the whereabouts of the invitation. There were even some who wanted to snatch the signed invitation.
However, this idea was quickly put to an end because a rumor had spread out from somewhere. As long as it was a signed invitation, even if others obtained it, they would not be able to participate in the auction with the signed invitation. Therefore, those who had this idea could only give up on it. However, this also led them to look for an unnamed invitation even more urgently.
A mere invitation letter had caused a bloody storm on the sea. This was something that no one had expected. Even Zhou Chen was very shocked when he heard this news more than ten days later.
He couldn't understand why everyone was so crazy. Although invitations to the auction house were rare, it was an auction after all. Not everyone could afford it, and not everyone could reach the top in a single step. Why were there so many people desperately trying to get it?
In fact, this result was beyond everyone's imagination. At first, those who wanted to snatch the invitation letter only wanted to participate in the auction. However, as time passed, more and more people started to snatch it. This also made many unreasonable people feel that the invitation letter was an extremely important treasure. It was also a great thing to be able to participate in all the auctions.
Under such circumstances, more and more people wanted to get the invitation letter, causing the entire sea to become chaotic. Even many people who rarely appeared in the past appeared. The items auctioned in all the auction houses were very precious. Although many people did not think very highly of the first auction, many people felt that the second auction would definitely be more exciting than the first one. Perhaps there would be more precious items. This was also the biggest reason why most people wanted to get the invitation letter.
The entire world was looking for invitations to all the auction houses, while Zhou Chen headed to the place he had agreed on with the navy headquarters to participate in the Sea of Seven Martial Arts meeting. Because this was the first Sea of Seven Martial Arts meeting, the navy headquarters had made it a mandatory requirement that everyone had to be present, so Zhou Chen naturally would not be absent.
Naturally, the meeting of the Sea of Seven Martial Arts would not be held at the navy headquarters because it would make the sea of seven martial arts wary. Therefore, the navy headquarters had set the meeting location on an island some distance away from the navy headquarters. Although it was also controlled by the navy headquarters, it was better for the Sea of Seven Martial Arts than at the navy headquarters, so it was acceptable.
Because he was going to the Seven Martial Seas Meeting, Zhou Chen naturally did not go to the Black Pearl. Instead, he continued to drive a small boat.
When Zhou Chen arrived at the island, he realized that the island was completely controlled by the navy.
"Halt!"
When a navy team saw Zhou Chen's boat arrive at the island, they immediately surrounded him and stared at him warily.
"Who are you? Why are you here?”
Although Zhou Chen was already in the Seven Martial Seas, not everyone knew him. At the very least, these navies did not know him.
Zhou Chen was surrounded by a group of navy soldiers. He said indifferently,"I came here to attend the meeting. Didn't your marshal tell you who would be coming?”
No matter what, he was now in the Seventh Martial Ocean. The navy headquarters had invited him to participate in the meeting, but the gatekeeper did not recognize him. Whether it was intentional or not, this showed that the navy headquarters did not take him seriously.
"Are you also a Seven Martial Seas?"
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the navy leader asked in surprise.
"My name is Zhou Chen."
"You're Zhou Chen?" The group of people looked at Zhou Chen in shock. They had never seen Zhou Chen before, but they had indeed heard of his name. This was the last Seven Martial Seas appointed by the Warring States Period.
However, even though they knew, they all thought that Zhou Chen was not young, but they did not expect him to be so young. Therefore, when Zhou Chen appeared in front of them, they did not recognize him.
"Can I enter now?"
Even if he was unhappy, Zhou Chen would not argue with these small fries.
After knowing Zhou Chen's identity, the navy immediately became respectful. If Zhou Chen was a pirate in the past, even if they knew his identity, they would definitely not be respectful. After all, the navy and pirates were mortal enemies. However, Zhou Chen was not a pirate in the past. Moreover, he had saved their navy. In addition, Zhou Chen was a strong person, so they naturally respected him.
"Please, the marshal has arrived and is waiting in the conference room.”
The captain of the navy team instructed his subordinates to continue patrolling while he led Zhou Chen to the meeting room where Zhan Guo and the others were.
After following the navy for about ten minutes, Zhou Chen arrived at the center of the island and entered a wide hall. The navy left after arriving and only allowed Zhou Chen to enter.
Zhou Chen walked into the hall. The hall was very wide. There was a large oval table in the middle of the hall, and a few people were already sitting around the table.
There were a total of eight people sitting around the table. Five of them were wearing navy uniforms, and the one sitting in the middle was a man in his fifties. He wore frog glasses, and his long beard was tied into a braid. He wore a military cap with a seagull on it. This person was Admiral Warring States. Zhou Chen had seen him before, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.
Other than the five navy members, Zhou Chen had also seen the other three. It was Hawkeye, who was known as the world's number one sword hero. The two people not far from him were probably from the Seven Martial Seas.
