"So what exactly does Doc want by inviting us to dinner?"

In the spacious office, Yan Yue stood beside the round desk and looked at everyone around her.

"Judging by the message he sent,"

Lin Chichi rubbed her brow. "He specifically prepared a 'welcome banquet' for you, Sister Yan Yue, to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

"Why do I feel like this welcome banquet is more of a Hongmen Banquet?"

Yan Yue shook her head. "At such a critical moment, this guy suddenly sends us an invitation. It really feels like he's up to no good."

She looked up at Lin Chichi. "Chichi, you've dealt with this 'Doc' before. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"An extremely ambitious guy who's also somewhat unscrupulous in his methods,"

Lin Chichi recalled for a moment before speaking slowly. "He isn't the person in charge of the Tlock Republic, but he seems to have completely sidelined the real person in charge, 'Zenani,' becoming the actual ruler of the World Tree here."

"Do you think this guy might be connected to the Radiance Society?"

Yan Yue asked softly.

"Not sure."

Lin Chichi shook her head. "We still don't have any clues about Sen Wen's disappearance. The Dawn leader I found who was suspected of being connected to the Radiance Society also got away."

Then she looked at Yan Yue thoughtfully. "But given Doc's personality, even if he isn't a member of the Radiance Society, he might still have some dealings with them in order to expand his power. Inviting us over at a time like this really is a little unreasonable."

"Can we just refuse the invitation?"

Yan Yue pondered. "Dean Li is also on his way here. He'll arrive by tonight at the latest.
