Chapter 99 - 99: The Anomaly of Sixth Lord
“Oh! I haven’t even named it yet, and the logo was just something I found online. Please bear with it for now; these are all projects that require further refinement in the future.”
Shen Wan tapped the screen, and it went dark. A beam of light appeared in the middle, dividing the screen into two, accompanied by background music.
Zhou Chi explained, “This is the game’s entry page, and we need a DEMO to introduce the storyline. The specific design will depend on professional graphic designers.”
Shen Wan swiped her finger to access the game’s main page and asked, “What’s next?”
Zhou Chi leaned over, watching with her, “First, let’s go to the ‘Canyon Fox Sanctuary’ and adopt a fox. There are seven colors to choose from; you can pick any…”
Shen Wan chose a white one.
“Next, we’ll head to the ‘Forest Spring’ for the Mother Goddess Naming Ceremony. Players can set a nickname for their fox pet…”
During the wait for their luggage, the two of them held their phones, with one teaching and the other learning. From afar, their intimate posture resembled that of a young couple.
Upon reaching the second floor of the arrival hall, they entered the VIP channel.
“Sixth Lord?”
Quan Banting shifted his gaze away, his previously serious expression growing even more frigid, and his deep black eyes appearing bottomless.
Chu Yujian sensed a shiver down his spine, and his scalp tingled. “Ling Yun’s group might need another fifteen minutes. Do you think we should move ahead or stay put here?”
Quan Banting remained silent, showing no intention of moving.
Chu Yujian let out a long sigh; it seemed they would have to wait.
“Bey, the luggage is here!” Zhou Chi stepped forward and lifted Shen Wan’s suitcase from the conveyor belt. “Stop playing with that. 1’11 tell you the next steps when we get to the hotel.”
Shen Wan put away her phone and said, “Give me the suitcase.”
Zhou Chi stepped aside, saying, “I’ve got it.”
The two of them walked side by side towards the exit. They bumped into a group of tourists who had just disembarked from a plane, numbering in the dozens. Zhou Chi pulled Shen Wan close and led her to the side, saying, “Be careful.”
“Okay.” She stopped and waited until the crowd had passed before continuing to walk.
Until they had left the main hall, the hands of Zhou Chi remained ethereally on her shoulder, never coming down.
Chu Yujian heard a faint, cold chuckle, seemingly filled with disdain and mockery, carrying an underlying sense of suppressed irritation. Based on this, it wasn’t difficult to conclude that the owner of this chuckle was in a very bad mood.
It doesn’t make sense…
When they got off the plane, everything was fine. It had been less than ten minutes, so why was he suddenly in a bad mood? Chu Yujian wondered.
Be glanced at Quan Banting’s face and saw that he was coldly and steadily staring downstairs. When Chu Yujian followed his gaze, all he saw was a sea of people.
Strange…
“Is everyone ready?”
Chu Yujian suddenly returned to the present moment. “Unless something unexpected happens, we’re on track to uncover the person behind Yi Bong this time.”
During this period, Bu Zhibei had been conducting an investigation into the individual who had suggested Yi Bong sell Plot No. 7 to Tian Shui Real Estate prior to the tsunami. Finally, there had been some breakthroughs, and Quan Banting’s journey was intended to unmask the person pulling the strings, revealing the mastermind’s identity.
“Sixth Lord, 1 don’t understand.”
“Speak plainly.”
“We have had no dealings with Bengyi Group, and we haven’t suffered any losses in the matter of Plot No. 7. Why go to such lengths to find this mysterious person?”
From the current perspective, they had no connection whatsoever with this enigmatic figure. They hadn’t become enemies, nor had they cooperated. In fact, there seemed to be some goodwill involved. Chu Yujian couldn’t fathom why Quan Banting would personally come to Beihai for this person.
“Someone who can predict the future, don’t you find that intriguing?”
Shen Wan and Zhou Chi settled into a hotel in the city center. They each received their room keys, tidied up their rooms, and then headed out to find some food.
After dinner, they returned to the hotel. Shen Wan changed into more comfortable and casual clothes, then knocked on the door of Zhou Chi’s
room….
