He made a gesture.
"Is she from the Adventurers’ Guild?"
"So far as we have discovered, no."
"That’s really interesting, the fact she isn’t, but it’s also good... It makes things easier to handle. Arrange it carefully, if confrontation isn’t ideal, use a gentler approach—do you understand?"
"Yes."
Watching his subordinate leave, the man leaned against the glass railing, twirling his wine glass. The red wine swirled inside, reflecting his face which others couldn’t see.
anwhile...
The Old Master, who had arrived at the Fosa Hotel in London, placed the newspaper on the table, sighing, "She actually chose to travel with the Cao siblings, making it impossible for our n to act. Is she rejecting my invitation?"
"Old Master, we’ve got news from ID. They will send soone over soon to handle this proposal."
"Just one person?"
"Yes."
"Then ID’s power may be more formidable than I imagined... But luckily, we still have the capital to cooperate with them," he said, lowering his gaze to play with a delicate, small blue vial in his hand. The liquid inside rippled with the movents of his fingertips.
"The Imperial Guards would never guess that after Yi put on the Rongwei Armor and beca a Rong Ghost, I had already extracted her flesh for bloodline analysis... which led to such a powerful artifact."
"Just a little bit, and an ordinary person could rival a special forces soldier, while a G-rated soldier could easily reach F-rating... Fei, do you grasp my aning? It can create an imnsely powerful legion!"
"Then why doesn’t the boss keep it for our own use?"
The Old Master rely chuckled without replying—his laugh ghostly eerie.
At the London Airport, a figure erged from the corridor, wearing a black trench coat, seven-quarter jeans, Italian brand leather shoes, standing over 1.8 ters tall. His handso fra made even ordinary clothes look dazzling. He walked as if on a runway, each step accompanied by that face—causing many of the international won waiting to et soone to completely forget their original purpose.
No, it would be accurate to say that even the n were stupefied.
This person, this man...
His expression was calm at first, but upon seeing these people, he gave them a slight smile. The smile wasn’t overly bright, but gently appropriate, making his eyes seem even tenderer and profound...
Wow~
This is the legendary ’killer’ smile!
Cool water instantly turned to boiling!
A cheer erupted—
It was the sound of wild excitent!
"Kaso!"
"My god, it’s Kaso!"
However, his smile froze when he saw a woman in the neighboring corridor wearing a simple black blouse with a wide collar. The material was soft, clinging to her fair skin, displaying her slender figure and perfect collarbones.
Standing at about 1.7 ters, she dressed simply in black and white cobble shoes, carrying a cool black backpack. Dark blue jeans wrapped her long, straight legs. She was slim, her hair, cut short, held a playful and carefree look, her expression was dull, her aura aloof. Amongst the surrounding noise and cheers, and after the culprit whistled at her, she turned her head to glance at him, with an imperceptible frown, before turning to leave.
Well... seeing this, the Heaven Emperor Superstar Kaso montarily froze, but then smiled softly, waved to the others, and, escorted by his agent and bodyguards, left...
----------
Junshi Castle did not expect London authorities to show up at their doorstep the next morning, with the purpose not concerning anyone from Junshi Castle—it was their guests they were after.
Xius directed his servants to inform the Duchess and the Duke before stepping forward, revealing a moderately apt smile, welcoming the arrival of Chief Yosef. After exchanging a few words at the door, a servant reported, and only then did he allow the man inside.
Losar and Cao Qijun had just gotten up not long ago, eating breakfast with other family mbers. They weren’t pleased with Yosef’s visit, but since a visitor is a guest, they had no choice but to et him...
"Duke, Duchess, I regret to disturb you. Could you please summon Sui Yi? We have so questions for her..."
Yosef’s deanor had gained more confidence than yesterday, and there was an undertone of hostility. Losar glanced at him pensively, "Is it about yesterday’s matter?"
"Yes, we have so very important questions to ask those three Chinese people."
Huh—such tone...
Mu Sang and others exchanged looks, ready to speak up and deflate this so-called Deputy Chief of the London Police Departnt’s arrogance... But Cao Qijun had already spoken up, "Not directly summoning and coming yourself, it seems Chief Yosef is being quite considerate."
Her words held a mocking edge, veiled sharpness.
Yosef smiled, "I wouldn’t dare imply that. It’s just that the matter is of great importance, and these three are staying at the Duke’s Mansion, esteed guests. Summoning would be too impolite. In fact, I just ca to inquire a bit... It wouldn’t be necessary to take anyone into custody unless absolutely needed."
Damn it! The heat rose among several mbers of the Duke’s Mansion present; this was pretty much insinuating taking soone into custody, wasn’t it?
But the most authority to speak still lay with Cao Qijun, who put down her napkin, "Sui isn’t soone I can just command, but I can take you to her... If she’s still in bed, you’ll have to wait."
Got it? It ant the person in question was high-profile, not soone you could just see whenever you wished.
Yosef’s guards behind him also felt irked. The Duke’s Mansion folks were untouchable, but did they also have to be so courteous to a few Chinese guests? Forget that they had leverage; even without it, international law would demand these three cooperate with the investigation, right?
But given Cao Qijun’s clear attitude, they couldn’t force the issue. At least they were going to see the person...
But the problem was...
What were Mu Sang and those hotheads doing following along? Even the Little Duke was tagging along!
In the end, there were more people from the Duke’s Mansion than their guards!
They were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of presence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
