"I'm very grateful to Spirit Channeling 2567 for helping me find the Kessman Bottle!"
"His abilities are beyond question."
"And he will always be my friend."
On the television, Lidon Lesti was holding a press conference.
"What a clever fellow."
"The Lesti Family really is lucky."
Aike De clicked his tongue in admiration as he watched Lidon Lesti on television. Beside him, Qin Ran paid no attention, popping one pastry after another from the Cold House into his mouth.
This was what Aike De and Lidon Lesti had agreed on beforehand.
Part of the payment would be in cash.
The rest would consist of fully cooperating with Aike De to build up the image of Spirit Channeling 2567.
Aike De had explained everything to Qin Ran in detail while they were in the van, so Qin Ran wasn't surprised at all. Besides, the pastries in front of him deserved more attention.
The sweetness spreading across his taste buds was truly satisfying.
Ignoring the attention of Aike De and the makeup artist, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes in contentment.
"Aren't you being a little too stingy?"
Aike De folded his arms.
"These are mine."
Qin Ran reiterated his point.
"Fine, fine."
"They're yours!"
"But I really want to know what happened with the theft of the Kessman Bottle."
Aike De asked curiously.
The makeup artist also looked at Qin Ran with curiosity.
"The Kessman Bottle had already been switched when it entered the Rain City Museum."
"It was just a gold-plated replica."
"The inside was probably porcelain fitted with weights."
Qin Ran popped a round pastry spread with honey and cheese into his mouth before speaking slowly.
"It had already been switched?"
"But that vault..."
"That was a joke!"
"They gave three keys to three people without any professional training.
