Nightless Sky Huo Le's Misunderstanding
Nightless Sky Huo Le and Lin Yu arrived inside the Wanjin Heavenly Seat.
And here, the operators of Wanjin Heavenly Seat were already waiting.
Upon seeing Nightless Sky Huo Le, the handsome middle-aged man in a suit stood in the human wall formed by his bodyguards, bowed respectfully, and spoke.
"Your Excellency, Nightless Sky Huo Le, on behalf of Wanjin Heavenly Seat and the Jin Nan Family, I extend a warm welcome to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of handsome men and beautiful women poured out of the surrounding shopping mall, holding up signs and light boards that read "Welcome to the esteemed Mr. Nightless Sky Huo Le" and "May the young Family Head of Nightless Sky Huo Le be healthy forever."
Then, the handsome men and beautiful women spoke in unison, "Your Excellency, the Lord of Nightless Sky Huo Le, we wish you a wonderful evening at the Wanjin Heavenly Seat."
Looking at this gaudy couple, Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell is this?"
Nightless Sky Huo Le simply raised his hand slightly, and then these guys all shut their mouths.
Her reply remained brief.
"You all get out too."
The crowd that had surged in receded just as quickly, leaving only the handsome middle-aged man with a forced smile.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this welcoming ceremony was indeed a bit rushed and may not suit your taste... However, the restaurant is all set up. Would you like to proceed?"
Nightless Sky Huo Le nodded slightly, and the group began to move again.
The expression on her face relaxed considerably.
"How was it? Was it relaxing?"
Lin Yu said with an upright expression, "I only saw an invisible pressure."
"What are you talking about? The oppression in the City That Never Sleeps is quite obvious, so where does this 'invisible' thing come from?" Nightless Sky Huo Le shrugged. "Besides, they're lucky to have caught the right time... Before the <Nightless City Justice Act> was enacted, these Commoner, regardless of whether they were first or second class, would immediately kneel down and kowtow to Royal Nobles like me. Even if I didn't tell them to stop, they would keep kowtowing until they bled."
Lin Yu sighed.
Having previously operated within the Truth Company and at the Nightless Sky Family, he had no real concept of just how illustrious Nightless Sky Huo Le's status as a "direct Direct Lineage of Royal Nobles" truly was...
Seeing two managers come down to greet him inside the Truth Company, Lin Yu felt that Fu Luo's identity was extremely useful.
Now that he's by Nightless Sky Huo Le, he finally understands what it means to have a bright moon in the sky.
The Nightless Sky Family Head is to go out, and it is probably an artificial sun that never sets.
"No wonder the assassination mission involved so many people. Even disregarding the hidden 'Chosen of God' and such, Arter Mercury's identity is still quite significant..."
Lin Yu sighed silently.
Of course, he also experienced once again what a rigidly class-based world the City That Never Sleeps was.
"Luckily, I used Fu Luo's identity; otherwise, how I would have gotten into this coming-of-age ceremony would have been a real problem..."
At the same time, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little curious...
How will his "teammates" who accepted the same commission infiltrate the group?
He didn't think those people would fail, after all, Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that each of them had their own strengths and would definitely use their own unique abilities.
But now I suddenly realize that I seem to be the most powerful one.
While they were thinking, Lin Yu and Nightless Sky Huo Le had already passed through layers of luxury stores and arrived at the rooftop garden restaurant, led by the person in charge of the Wanjin Heavenly Seat.
In a rooftop garden, elegant booths are scattered about—a silent luxury in the heart of the City That Never Sleeps where land is incredibly valuable, on the top floor of the Wanjin Heavenly Seat.
After all, if we consider economic efficiency... if Lin Zhao were to open a restaurant in this area, he would definitely cram the tables together like a classroom in a top-tier high school.
Led by Nightless Sky Huo Le, Lin Yu arrived at what was clearly the best spot in the entire restaurant—near the window with the most unobstructed view.
The table was set out very warmly. After Lin Yu and Nightless Sky Huo Le took their seats, the bodyguards who had accompanied them retreated to the outer perimeter, leaving only two personal Servant by their side.
"Let's start preparing the meal now."
As Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke, the person in charge beside him nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Nightless Sky Huo Le City."
He then left their side.
Looking at the two maids behind Nightless Sky, Lin Yu gradually began to understand why Servant of the Nightless Sky Family wore those masks.
After looking at these masks for a long time, coupled with the highly trained Servant, one can indeed get the illusion that they "don't exist" or "are not human."
At this moment, Lin Yu felt as if he were alone with Nightless Sky Huo Le, having a rather private meal.
Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke softly, "The food here is actually rather mediocre, but I asked Sherlock before what kind of food you like, and you said the more expensive the better..."
"So, this is basically the most expensive restaurant in the City That Never Sleeps."
Upon hearing the words of the Nightless Sky Huo Le, Lin Yu once again felt a sense of respect for Fu Luo.
"When someone asks you what kind of food you like, is it possible to answer 'the more expensive the better'?"
However, considering it was Fu Luo, Lin Yu felt relieved.
Anyway... I guess I ended up reaping the benefits myself.
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Huo Le."
Lin Yu said with a smile.
Nightless Sky Huo Le nodded. "It wasn't much trouble at all. I just told the housekeeper what you needed, and they arranged everything for me."
During the conversation, pre-dinner drinks were served.
The goblet contained a translucent, bluish-white liquid.
Lin Yu picked it up and took a small sip. It was sweet and tasted a lot like Lychee soda.
He took another sip, and then became quite certain...
"It's just like Lychee soda!"
However, before the discussion about the drinks could end, the Nightless Sky Huo Le started talking again.
"Actually, I can roughly guess what agreement you and your mother reached, and I can also guess why you insist on attending the Fire Apricot Coming-of-Age Ceremony."
The words of Nightless Sky Huo Le interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts, and he looked at Nightless Sky Huo Le in surprise.
"Oh? You noticed?"
Although these Five Great Noble Families may generally have personality flaws, Lin Yu knew that their abilities were by no means weak.
Having received the best education from a young age and subjected to a brutal internal competition mechanism, each of these Noble is a shrewd and cunning individual.
If Nightless Sky Huo Le truly confirms his deal with the Nightless Sky Family Head and his own purpose through Spider Silk...
That's not surprising.
He looked at Nightless Sky Huo Le, who gently picked up his cup and took a sip.
"This is a very dangerous thing. Have you thought it through?"
Lin Yu also picked up his cup.
"This isn't a matter of whether I want to or not... Huo Le, I have no choice."
Upon hearing this, Nightless Sky Huo Le sighed softly.
"I understand... then I will support you."
"But no matter what, marrying into the Nightless Sky Family is far too dangerous. Even with the Saint Orchid Family as a backer, my father still couldn't escape death."
"If you really choose to marry Fire Apricot... even your mother and I might not be able to protect you!"
Lin Yu stared blankly at the serious-looking Nightless Sky Huo Le.
"Ah?"
What nonsense are you talking about?
