Little Gui's livestream.
After her conversation with March 7th.
Guinaifen couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Just as she returned to her room.
She found her door wide open.
Inside, soone had already beaten her to it!
"What's going on here?"
After seeing who it was.
Guinaifen imdiately shouted in annoyance, "Aventurine, what are you doing in my room!"
"This is way too brazen!"
"Do you think being a high-ranking executive ans you can do whatever you want?"
After entering the room.
Aventurine casually greeted her as if nothing was wrong. "What a coincidence, we et again."
[This is my room, why are you here?]
"Don't be nervous, I just ca to soak in so good vibes. It's your room now, but half a system hour ago—it was still mine."
"Lucky building number, lucky floor, lucky room number—I went through a lot of trouble to book such a pri spot… I'm giving it to you, so cherish it, my friend."
[No matter the reason, get out.]
Aventurine's face still carried a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
He said, "Ah, I really don't like hearing that…"
"Penacony is the genuine land of dreams. How many people across the galaxy are willing to spend half their lives just to get a ticket to The Reverie Hotel?"
"Think about it—what kind of people get to stay here? If it weren't for my strategies, would the Family dare to offend those big shots and open the back door for an uninvited guest like you?"
Guinaifen shook her head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
"Fine, I'll just switch back to Dan Heng's room. Who needs your charity anyway…"
"We have an old saying on Xianzhou—'Are kings and nobles born with their status?'"
"Aventurine, you're making a big mistake by flaunting your power and influence here."
"I won't bow to your authority!"
After saying this, Guinaifen imdiately felt a surge of pride.
She couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.
And puffed out her chest!
...
"What a bold 'Are kings and nobles born with their status?' Little Gui, you're truly my favorite strear!"
"Sister Gui, my online spokesperson!"
"This Aventurine looks so dignified, yet he's doing sothing so despicable…"
"Aventurine, aren't you being a bit too hasty?"
"Let be blunt, in the company, apart from Topaz who still has a conscience, the rest are all scoundrels."
"You think a few asly coins can make our Galaxy Bat Warrior submit? Not a chance! You'll have to offer more."
...
Soon after, Aventurine quickly revealed his true intentions—
"To put it simply, my friend, I need your help. You might not know this yet, but Penacony is far from what it seems on the surface. The Family's eyes are everywhere here. I don't need to spell it out; you understand."
"My goal is straightforward—to help the company reclaim sothing that rightfully belongs to it. If you're willing to assist , you'll receive a generous reward afterward, along with the protection of Preservation."
Hearing Aventurine say this, Guinaifen imdiately burst into unrestrained laughter!
"Ha ha ha ha…"
"Sorry, but I've already caught the gaze of Preservation."
...
"After this is done, we'll dance together in the OP."
"But the Amber King has already looked upon us!"
"[Presenting The Architects' Lance]"
"Is it possible that the 'protection of Preservation' Aventurine ntioned actually refers to the company's protection?"
"In a way, that's quite tempting."
"With both the Astral Express and the company as backers, I can't imagine how aweso the Trailblazer must feel!"
"Assuming Aventurine's promises are valid, I always feel like this guy is waiting to screw us over…"
...
In the VIP area of The Reverie Hotel, Aventurine was intently following the unfolding events.
A faint smile lingered on his lips.
Seeing his own actions from a third-person perspective was quite an interesting experience.
Now he felt that having a storyline related to himself in the ga wasn't so bad.
It allowed him to examine himself from an objective viewpoint.
Aventurine considered this a valuable opportunity for reflection.
Beside him, Topaz shook her head.
She sighed, "Your credibility is really lacking…"
"Just look at the comnts from the netizens."
"Nine out of ten comnts are bashing you, and the remaining one is just sarcastic trolling."
"Not just regular players, I noticed several IDs that seem to belong to company employees."
"Even your own colleagues are bashing you. You're really beyond help."
Aventurine glanced at the barrage of comnts.
A look of regret appeared on his face.
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to do more charity work in the future."
"Speaking of which... with my current reputation, even if I do charity for free, people will probably suspect I have ulterior motives, right?"
Aventurine pointed at his own face, sowhat annoyed.
"Then why bother? I might as well just embrace the villain role and let loose."
Aventurine leaned back in his Chair.
It was as if he had given up.
Once he accepted the fact that he was a rebel, the last bit of hesitation in his heart seed to vanish.
"This world is just like that…"
"Fate was never fair from the beginning."
Aventurine let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Continuing to watch the scene unfold...
After showcasing his skills and value, he began speaking to the Trailblazer in a seductive tone.
"You're different from the others. You're special—special enough to flip the entire table. That [power]... don't you want to use it? Or... don't you want to get rid of it? Don't you want to make a na for yourself across the universe with it?"
"That power, feared yet desired by all, lies within your grasp…"
"Miss Stellaron, am I right?"
[I don't understand what you're saying.]
"Nice acting, I like it."
"You don't have to answer now. Thinking takes ti. When the ti is right, I'll naturally co to you."
"Of course, you can also discuss it with your companions, or even try to use in return. I welco it—because that's also a way to show your value."
"I never make deals that lose money. I hope you all... don't disappoint ."
Aventurine nodded slightly.
Good.
This was exactly his style.
Just as he was about to leave the room, he turned back with a sly smile.
"Oh, by the way, before I go, let's play a little ga. It's simple—guess which hand the chip is in. Consider it a way to get to know better, my personality, and how I operate…"
"Ding—"
A chip was tossed into the air, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.
In its place were two clenched fists, held out in front of the Trailblazer.
"Left or right? Get ready—I'm about to reveal the answer."
"Oh, I guess I didn't ask which side you'd choose. But it doesn't matter, because—"
"Friend, the ga has already begun."
With that, Aventurine smirked coldly and stepped closer.
One by one, he opened his hands.
Neither hand held the chip from earlier.
"Let's make a deal."
"You can't refuse…"
"There's no reason to…"
"And no room for negotiation."
The Trailblazer, anwhile, looked surprised.
The coin.
Sohow, it had ended up in her hand without her noticing.
Just as Aventurine removed his sunglasses, like a snake baring its fangs, a voice suddenly ca from outside the door.
"Hey."
"What are you doing in my room?"
...
"Aventurine's every move carried a subtle sense of pressure."
"Such deep scheming, such strong backing, such heavy cunning!"
"In comparison, Topaz seems so much friendlier."
"This guy can't be allowed to stay!"
"He's nothing but a profit-driven swindler. Don't trust him!"
"Sister Acheron, save !!"
