Twins?

How could twins have identical faces, without the slightest difference, yet completely different figures?

Why was this woman here?

Yang Ming had learned from Lü that Talisha was already dead, and he had shared this information with Kolev.

At that moment, Yang Ming and Kolev exchanged a glance. A hint of confusion showed in Kolev's eyes, but Yang Ming had already reacted.

He couldn't pretend he didn't know Talisha.

"Uncle," Yang Ming asked quietly, "is she the woman we helped before?"

Kolev immediately caught on. "Yeah. She looks a bit like her."

"She said she'd repay us, and now she's pretending not to know us," Yang Ming said with a pout. "People in the Luofeng Empire are so cold."

"Yeah, really cold," Kolev said with a squinting smile.

He deliberately broadened the meaning of the word "repay."

"Talisha" turned to look at them, her eyes seeming almost to speak as she gazed at Yang Ming and Kolev.

"Oh, it's you two!"

Her voice carried a hint of deliberately feigned surprise.

Yang Ming's assessment was that her acting wasn't very good.

"I never thought I'd run into you here! My two friends who helped me—this must be fate!"

"Talisha" grew excited.

Kolev smiled, his eyes narrowed. "My room's coming up. I'm exhausted after spending all day looking at factories and equipment. You young people can talk."

Then Kolev gave Yang Ming a beaming wink. "See you tomorrow, my dear nephew."

"See you tomorrow, my dear uncle."

After Yang Ming and Kolev bid each other a fond farewell, Kolev leaned on his walking stick, humming a gentle tune as he stepped onto the floor with the Star Suite.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Yang Ming and "Talisha" looked at each other.

"Hello, miss,"
