Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091: World’s Number One Thief
But as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
Because Adolf’s greeting was not directed at Ji Qiushui, as everyone had guessed, but at Ye Chenfeng, whom everyone thought the least likely.
“This… how is this possible?”
“Am I seeing things? The master really greeted that kid!”
“Am I dreaming? This is completely impossible!”
Everyone wore the sa expression, as if they had been struck by lightning on a clear day, stunned and disbelieving this reality.
“It must be wrong; the master should have been greeting Miss Ji, right?” Even though subconsciously, everyone understood what had happened, they were unwilling to admit it outwardly.
“Adolf, you sure know how to put on airs. With so many people around you, soone who doesn’t know might think you’re the king of so country showing off.”
Just as everyone wanted to confirm the result, Ye Chenfeng spoke with unchecked arrogance at Adolf, appearing as if he was reprimanding his own subordinate.
“You’re right; I will definitely change in the future and not be so ostentatious.” To everyone’s surprise, Adolf nodded his head.
“Oh my god, it really is him!”
Seeing this now, everyone could not help but accept it; the fact was right in front of them.
Ji Qiushui next to Ye Chenfeng was nearly petrified, shaking as she looked at Ye Chenfeng, like when she first t him. Now Ye Chenfeng was completely a stranger to her.
How could it be him as a friend of such a master? It was like a thunderbolt from the blue for her.
“Old friend, how co you’re bored enough to attend this art exhibition? If you like, I’ll gather Tony, Sitterson, and the others together for an exhibition that might be able to catch your eye.” Adolf said lightly.
“Pfft!”
Pan Wei standing behind him almost spat blood, as Adolf’s words clearly implied that his paintings were trash…
And indeed, from Tony’s perspective, his works were very poor, not to ntion his ntor Adolf.
Pan Wei realized, no wonder Ye Chenfeng earlier said his painting wasn’t even worth two hundred and fifty dollars; looking at it now, that was giving too much credit.
As for Tony, he was unbearably excited; Adolf’s comnt that it barely caught the eye was, for him, the highest praise ever.
“…”
At this mont, nobody knew what kind of feeling they had.
The existence they worshipped wasn’t even worth a fart in the eyes of another…
Standing far away, Ji Xiaofeng and a few others had frozen expressions on their faces, with all sorts of emotions showing.
How could Ye Chenfeng possibly know a god-like figure like Adolf?
This was definitely impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
“Adolf, look at you standing here, they’re all under pressure.” Ye Chenfeng said to Adolf.
Adolf laughed: “Alright, old friend, let’s leave!”
“Was intending to!”
Ye Chenfeng also stood up, stepping away alongside Adolf.
“Wait, what are you following for?”
Seeing Pan Wei instinctively want to follow, Tony imdiately spoke up to stop him.
Pan Wei paused, looking at Tony blankly: “Teacher, shouldn’t we follow?”
Tony glanced at him disdainfully: “I wouldn’t dare, let alone you. Looks like you really don’t know your place!”
“Teacher, I…” Realizing his mistake, Pan Wei imdiately apologized.
But Tony left fabulously, no, he should have snuck off, like he was a thief.
Ye Chenfeng and Adolf left, leaving behind a group of bewildered people.
Later, Tony also left, leaving the whole auction at the art exhibition in chaos, unsure how to conclude.
The so-called dinner together ended up being nothing.
“Qiushui, what’s going on?”
After coming back to his senses, Ding Wenjun rushed over to Ji Qiushui, full of bewildernt, and asked.
Ji Qiushui was completely at a loss, shaking her head: “I don’t know what’s happening either.”
Suddenly, Ji Qiushui’s eyes sparkled, seeming to have caught onto sothing. Perhaps her grandfather knew sothing?
“Could he be hiding sothing from us?” Ji Xiaofeng wondered aloud as he walked over.
The rest said nothing, just gazed blankly at the exit.
…
“Adolf, did you co here to show off? You’re being so flamboyant; aren’t you afraid soone in Capital City is watching you?” After reaching a secluded area, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask, his tone sowhat cold.
Adolf chuckled: “Divine King, it’s not that I’m showing off, but I have sothing extrely urgent to tell you. I couldn’t reach you, so I had to co find you myself.”
Ye Chenfeng’s complexion changed, his face turning serious as he asked: “Adolf, what’s going on?”
“Swashbuckler has appeared!” Adolf said.
Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brows: “Swashbuckler? How did he co to the Capital City?”
Adolf’s lips curled into a smile: “Swashbuckler is internationally recognized as the number one thief, but you would never guess he’s from the Divine Land; his real na is Sikong Zhairiyue.”
“Sikong Zhairiyue? Quite an interesting na!” Ye Chenfeng murmured: “I rember it was him who infiltrated our headquarters, and recorded the layout of the base. Yet he truly is impressive, giving us a heads up even before coming, despite us being prepared, he escaped. Tsk, tsk, I won’t let you off this ti when I et you.”
“Moreover, Your Highness, his appearance this ti is related to you.” Adolf suddenly ntioned.
Ye Chenfeng beca even more puzzled: “Related to ?”
“Yes, Sikong Zhairiyue showed up for the Chu Corporation, claiming to steal the Chu Corporation’s trade secrets in the next couple of days.” Adolf said.
Ye Chenfeng laughed: “Stealing trade secrets would indeed be a waste of his talent, but if he sneaks in silently, he might definitely succeed. However, if he’s this conspicuous, he might not succeed. After all, trade secrets aren’t tangible items; he might not even know where they are.”
“Sikong Zhairiyue has never failed even once. The fact that he’s so flamboyant indicates his confidence. Didn’t he succeed when he was a Dragon Knight?” Adolf questioned.
Ye Chenfeng nodded: “Seems like I underestimated him. Should Sikong Zhairiyue et this ti, I definitely won’t let you off. Adolf, have Heavenly Eye co to Capital City as soon as possible.”
“Alright, no problem, Sikong Zhairiyue is surely a big fish. If we catch him, there’s bound to be a huge story on him. Perhaps the clues we lost will co back.” Adolf agreed.
At night, after Ye Chenfeng returned ho.
Ye Chenfeng rembered the tattoo matter, and after returning that day, he looked and saw there was no tattoo on his back. This made him suspect Demon Craftsman had other intentions and hadn’t given him a tattoo at all.
