After more than a year of development, the [ Letters and Visits Office ], an intelligence agency unique to Chambord City, has long since extended its reach to various countries within a million miles of the Zenit Empire. Within that million-mile radius, the Lyon Empire is the Zenit Empire's primary adversary, and naturally, it has become a key target for the [ Letters and Visits Office ].
Under the leadership of [ the Old Man ] Zola, and under the guise of legitimate business, the [ Letters and Visits Office ] has branches throughout the major cities and military strongholds of the Lyon Empire.
Filled with curiosity, Sun Fei entered the shop.
The hall was very spacious, with all sorts of weapons of different shapes hanging on the walls, gleaming coldly and flashing silver, looking quite imposing. The shop was doing good business, with mercenaries, officers, and wandering warriors coming and going, as well as some merchants and noblemen choosing weapons.
Sun Fei approached the [Sword Wall] and casually took down a single-handed fast sword hanging on the wall.
This is a swift and lightweight sword, its blade gleaming like a streak of silver light. The Sword Peak is already sharpened, and when Sun Fei ran his fingers across it, a chilling aura emanated from it. It was so sharp it could cut a hair in two, and its exceptional sharpness was evident. It was clearly crafted with superb skill, originating from the unique forging techniques of the Diablo World's female blacksmith, Charsi. Although it was not Dou Weapon, it could still be considered a formidable and divine weapon among ordinary weapons.
The other swords hanging on the [Sword Wall] are basically of this quality, no wonder the business is so booming.
"Hello, are you looking for a sword for self-defense? How about it, are you satisfied with this one? If not, that's okay too. Please feel free to tell us what kind of weapon you need. Our shop has all kinds of weapons; there's bound to be one that suits your needs."
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a beautiful figure appeared beside Sun Fei.
She was a saleswoman dressed in a uniform similar to a cheongsam. She had short, neat red hair, delicate features, long, slender eyebrows, a pretty nose, small red lips, and a petite figure. Her breasts weren't large, but the tight-fitting cheongsam accentuated their graceful curves. She wore a gentle, professional smile on her fair face as she looked at Sun Fei.
Sun Fei smiled slightly.
This stunning cheongsam-like uniform was designed by Sun Fei himself in his spare time. The entire store's decor, including hiring young girls as sales assistants instead of having those burly blacksmiths work part-time, were all suggestions he made when he was bored.
The Old Man Zola was a true genius in this respect.
He implemented most of Sun Fei's seemingly absurd suggestions without fail, turning them into reality and quickly reaping the rewards. The [ Letters and Visits Office ]'s business scope was very diverse, but weapons, magic stones, money shops, and food were its main industries. These industries not only concealed the true identity of the [ Letters and Visits Office ], but also provided a steady stream of wealth to Chambord City, and also facilitated the consumption of the high-level magic stones that Sun Fei synthesized using the [ Horadric Cube ].
Sun Fei put the one-handed swift sword back in its place, then pretended to look around for a moment. In a nouveau riche tone, he jokingly said, "Oh, is that so? I'd like to buy the most expensive weapon in your shop. I wonder how many gold coins it costs?"
The smile on the girl's face faltered. She carefully sized up Sun Fei. Although the young man in front of her was dashing and handsome, especially his eyes, which were as bright as stars and could easily captivate girls, he didn't seem to be very wealthy. Who knew he would speak so arrogantly?
She frowned slightly, but without the slightest impatience or disdain, and patiently explained with a smile, "When choosing a weapon, the most important thing is to consider your own habits and strength. Every weapon has its own characteristics, and the best one is the one that suits you best. Often, the most expensive weapons are not necessarily the most suitable."
"Oh?" Sun Fei seemed a little surprised.
He knew that according to the rules of the [ Letters and Visits Office ], the sales assistants' salaries, in addition to a base salary, were also linked to sales volume. These were some business concepts from his previous life that Sun Fei had instilled in him. His King originally thought that if he asked for the most expensive weapon, this young girl would be overjoyed and take him to the person in charge, so that he could take the opportunity to reveal his identity and learn about some recent news and developments on the mainland... But now, this refreshing and capable young girl had given Sun Fei some surprises.
"What's your name?" Sun Fei picked up a two-handed sword and flicked it with his fingers.
A slight blush appeared on the girl's fair cheeks. Being asked her name by such a handsome and refined peer was perhaps a common expression among kind-hearted young girls. Seeing that Sun Fei wasn't paying attention to her but was instead admiring the greatsword in his hand, the girl concealed her embarrassment with a smile and said, " Allen Peggy."
After she finished speaking, Peiji's face flushed again.
What's wrong with me? Allen Peiji asked herself Earth Inquiry. She had never experienced anything like this before. Why did her head feel so foggy? Especially when she saw the bright, seemingly expressive eyes of the young stranger in front of her, her heart started pounding involuntarily.
" Allen Peiji? Nice name. Okay, Peiji, I'd like to meet your manager, is that alright?" Sun Fei put the greatsword back on the sword sheath.
"Uh... of course, that's fine." Allen Peggy smiled, trying to appear calm.
But she was quickly startled by her own answer. Damn it, what are you saying, Peiji? Are you stupid? You know how busy the manager is. He never easily meets with ordinary guests. She was clearly going to refuse, but somehow, the words that came out were the complete opposite.
"Thank you so much, please lead the way." Sun Fei smiled.
"Huh? This... um... okay." Oh no, oh no, Peiji pinched her arm, feeling like she must be under some kind of spell. Once again, the words she was about to say came out completely opposite, and she had once again, in a daze, agreed to the handsome stranger's request.
Bypassing the crowded lobby and ascending the stairs to the third floor, Allen Peggy, with a sense of heroic sacrifice, led Sun Fei to the door of a vermilion room in the very center of the fourth floor, amidst the astonished gazes of her friends.
"Ta-da!"
"Please come in." A dignified voice came from inside.
Allen Peggy was almost in tears. Her hands trembling, she pushed open the door and led Sun Fei inside. She nodded to an Old Man with gray hair sitting behind a large desk by the floor-to-ceiling window at the far end of the room, and said in a trembling voice, "Manager Cain, this guest... he... he wants to see you."
Supervisor Cain had silver hair and a refined face, but he didn't look old. He wore a black suit popular in the Lyon Empire, and a pair of gold-rimmed crystal glasses perched on his nose, making him look elegant and energetic, with a distinct aristocratic air. However, the Twin Hermits beneath the crystal lenses, revealed a hint of intelligence.
He looked up at Sun Fei with surprise, then glanced at Peiji, whose head was bowed and face flushed. A barely perceptible hint of displeasure crossed his face, but he didn't show it. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled, waved for Peiji to leave, and stood up to invite Sun Fei to sit down. Feigning confusion, he asked, "May I ask who you are...?"
Within the entire [ Letters and Visits Office ] system, apart from a few high-ranking members such as [ Old Man ] Zola and [Young Man] Modrić, no one else knew that their organization belonged to Chambord City, let alone knew their boss, Sun Fei. Although Cain was in charge of the work of the entire Deren City, he also did not know Sun Fei.
Sun Fei smiled as he sat on the luxurious rosewood chair, saying nothing.
However, his Spiritual Power spread out silently, like ripples on water.
There are at least six Moon Class magic arrays hidden inside this house, along with two small Teleport, two secret passages, and six Five-Star Class level experts hidden behind the room's walls. The entire room is protected like an impregnable fortress. Even if a large regular army were to attack, Cain could ensure that he could destroy all the data here immediately and then leave calmly through the secret passages or magic Teleport.
The professionalism of the Letters and Visits Office far exceeded Sun Fei's most optimistic expectations.
"Sir, what brings you here? Please speak plainly." Cain frowned slightly.
The young stranger before him gave him a very powerful and dangerous feeling. His right hand was behind his back, and he secretly made a gesture. The next moment, if he sensed anything was wrong, the magic circle in the room could be activated, and the expert hiding in the shadows would suddenly strike.
Sun Fei had naturally noticed Cain's subtle movements long ago. He smiled slightly, opened his palm, and a delicate, small, dark black token appeared in his hand. It was a Big Black made entirely of [ Black Iron Essence ], handcrafted by Charsi, the chief blacksmith of Chambord City. It was lifelike and gave people an eerie sense of life, as if it were a living thing.
"Ah, you are..." Cain was taken aback. He forced himself to remain calm and carefully examined the token. After confirming that it was genuine, he immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully said, " Solomon Cain greets Your Excellency."
