Wen Xishu hadn't expected this Lord Qilin to actually be Kylin.
Was the Three Towers Company Kylin's business?
But something seemed strange. Wasn't Kylin a Constellation? Wasn't the Strange Tower a World of Obsessions? Surely Kylin's obsession hadn't created the Three Towers Company?
If I use the Invitation Letter to go to the Desire Tower...
Will I meet a Kylin who longs to start a company?
A string of thoughts surfaced in Wen Xishu's mind.
Wen Xishu merely gave an inscrutable smile.
"You know I'm good at cheating, and you know some of what I've been through... so you don't actually know the details?"
Mystery Thirteen said:
"I only know that you're connected to Lord Leo. But not everyone who's met a Constellation knows about Lord Kylin."
"He's very mysterious, after all."
Mystery Thirteen frowned, looking like a patient who had just finished coughing.
"Are you... close to Lord Leo?"
A trace of curiosity crept onto Mystery Thirteen's deathly face.
Wen Xishu said:
"How did you know I was connected to Leo?"
Mystery Thirteen shrugged.
"I actually didn't. It was Mystery Two. He thought highly of you from the start, and he has higher clearance than I do. Mystery Two knew you had a Lionheart Brand, and... that it wasn't an initial-stage brand."
"Your brand has already evolved once."
Wen Xishu said:
"We get along all right. Leon and I are partners, more or less."
Mystery Thirteen narrowed his eyes, studying Wen Xishu carefully. Wen Xishu spoke so casually, making himself sound impressively important. Mystery Thirteen couldn't help wondering...
Don't tell me this new colleague really got in through connections?
I thought I'd finally get someone to run errands for me. Please don't let him be some young master's good friend, just here to hold a position on paper.
