Chapter 26 – That Implies a Frightening Scenario
“That gentleman? He indeed hasn’t paid the bill!” The waiter smiled.
“Oh, darn it …” Lin Yaoyao was left speechless.
After a moment, she sighed in resignation, “Alright, I’ll settle it for him.”
“I’ll take care of it, and when you get back, tell him he owes me a favor. Next time we meet, he better not be so aloof!” Fu Qiushui intervened to pay.
However, Lin Yaoyao didn’t give her the chance.
My man won’t owe you any favors …
…
In the luxurious Alliance convoy, inside the business car.
The woman in the red dress muttered after boarding, “This guy, so young but acting like he’s superior. Let’s see one day if I don’t squeeze him dry!”
Her words even garnered envy from the driver up front.
Miss, if you want to squeeze someone, we’re ready to help anytime. Why look for a young man? We have experience in that area, surely more than a young lad …
This woman in the red dress is called Cui Zhiying.
She was the subject of many men’s fantasies within the Alliance, but everyone could only admire her from afar, and could never become close with her.
“He … has the ability to overlook everyone!” Suddenly, a cold and aristocratic voice sounded in the compartment.
Seated opposite Cui Zhiying was a woman, radiating an air of elegance and grace. Wrapped in a cloak, exuding an aura of innate nobility from head to toe.
If Cui Zhiying was a charming and intelligent woman, this woman was the epitome of elegance and beauty.
Beneath her external nobility and beauty, there was a profound calmness … and a hint of gentle ambiguity.
Regal and graceful—this woman was a queen-like figure.
“Madam, you’ve noticed too?” Cui Zhiying continued.
Even she seemed respectful in the presence of this elegant woman.
“That cold and threatening aura he exudes isn’t something an ordinary powerful person can possess!” the noblewoman said, raising her glass. “I believe in you; he indeed possesses that kind of ability.”
Just now, Ling Tian noticed her presence even through the car’s window and the restaurant, locking his gaze on her directly!
This kind of perceptiveness is unquestionably the sign of a top-tier human powerhouse!
“Of course, I’ve seen it myself. He single-handedly killed a Class-5 Puppeteer and over a hundred of its minions!” Cui Zhiying quickly added.
The first time she met Ling Tian, she witnessed him killing a Class-5 Puppeteer. Since then, she has known him.
“Do you think … his strength is comparable to the top-ranked Puppeteers?” the noblewoman asked.
“I don’t know! But … definitely in the top five! At that time … he probably hadn’t even exerted his full strength!” Cui Zhiying replied.
After killing the Class-5 Puppeteer, Ling Tian seemed quite at ease. So, his true strength is hard to estimate.
“How do you think he compares to me?” the noblewoman suddenly asked.
At this, Cui Zhiying laughed awkwardly, “Madam, you’re jesting. You are one of the strongest, he could never be compared to you!”
That’s right, the woman before her, exuding a noble aura, was one of the world’s most powerful Puppeteers!
A solitary type, the Class-1 Puppeteer.
At the same time, she’s the wife of the current leader of the Alliance.
Madam Leader, Luo Xue!
Luo Xue has been searching for someone recently.
Or rather, she has always been searching for someone.
Someone with a special ability.
That ability … of the void!
Years ago, the boss of Tianxu Group died. Logically, his void ability should have been passed on to the nearest newborn child at the time of his death.
Unfortunately … there were just too many children born on the same day.
Determining the recipient was a massive challenge!
So, Luo Xue thought of seeking help from skilled individuals in the community.
That’s why this time, she came to Lin City along with her daughter.
Ling Tian was introduced by Cui Zhiying!
The hard drive Cui Zhiying gave Ling Tian contained the profiles of all the people born on the same day as the Tianxu Group’s fall twenty-three years ago.
The box contained the core of the Puppeteers, counted as part of the reward.
They wanted Ling Tian to help, to see if they could find the inheritor of the void ability.
And, of course, they could’ve never imagined that the person they were searching for was actually Ling Tian!
And Ling Tian just happened to need the information about all the people born on that day.
Using that data, he could locate the successors of his past trusted subordinates’ special abilities!
So … Ling Tian pretended to negotiate a deal with them!
Not only did he get a box of Puppeteer cores for free, but he also acquired the information he needed.
“I don’t know if this guy can find it, but I have high hopes for him. If he can really locate it … that would be a significant achievement for me!” Cui Zhiying continued, smiling.
“Whoever finds it doesn’t matter. The important thing is … it must be found!” Luo Xue said, gazing outside with deep eyes.
No matter who finds the results, the crucial part is to find it. Because if it isn’t found … that implies a frightening scenario!
The boss of the Tianxu Group … isn’t dead!
If he isn’t dead, then his ability hasn’t been passed to anyone!
That implies … the colossal threat of the Tianxu Group hasn’t been completely eradicated.
As long as he isn’t eliminated, Luo Xue can never be at peace!
