As the words settled, everyone turned to gaze at Wang Ran, openly sizing him up while raising their glasses to toast him from afar.
Wang Ran had foreseen this scenario in the simulation.
He boldly raised his glass in return.
"Mr. Wang Ran, if it weren't for you completing the scouting mission, we would never have discovered the Evil God's ruse, and today's victory would not have been possible,"
Sheng Ya said with a smile, "You are the hero of tonight's banquet, please say a few words for us."
The opening speech!
At this moment, the gazes of over a thousand deities were fixed on Wang Ran, and he felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him.
Thankfully, he had prepared his speech well in advance.
"You flatter me,"
he said calmly, "While I did contribute some strength to this victory, even without me, the outcome would not change, because victory may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
"Justice shall prevail!"
"Watcher's Association shall prevail!"
