Chapter 185
"Do you remember twenty years ago? A Master Rank expert intervened and killed a genius from the Heavenly Star Nation, which resulted in the infamous 'Chaotic Star Incident'."
"The Heavenly Star Nation dispatched a large number of Master Rank experts to indiscriminately hunt down geniuses on whom other nations had placed their hopes in the Land of Mist."
That war nearly wiped out the younger generation of various countries.
"Therefore, we absolutely cannot do that, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lachlan's chest heaved violently, and he clenched his fists several times before relaxing them.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and sat back down on the sofa.
Just then, a young man in the corner had his phone ring.
He picked it up, glanced at it, then turned and said, "Pride... Asada Hitomi from Cherry Blossom Nation sent a message saying you need to pay all the costs of this operation within three minutes."
"Is this bitch ordering me around?" Lachlan whirled around, her eyes filled with a terrifyingly sinister glint. "Tell her to get lost! She hasn't even finished the mission, and she still has the nerve to ask me for money!"
"This... isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The man hesitated. "She's a member of the Razor Association, and a top international assassin at that. I'm afraid..."
"So what?" Lachlan scoffed dismissively. "Do you think she can travel across the ocean to get here...?"
Before he could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly widened, and he stared ahead in shock.
Standing at the entrance of the villa was a petite woman with short hair, wearing a black bodysuit.
Those pale white pupils were devoid of any emotion, staring straight at him.
Meanwhile, inside another eerie ancient castle.
A woman in a red dress leaned languidly against the throne, the dark red carpet beneath her feet stretching to the far end of the hall.
"Heh... this Lachlan, he's really all bark and no bite."
She hooked a finger, her tone tinged with anger. "My first place, just like that, he handed it over to me, how hateful!"
Of all the lords in this match, Lachlan probably hates Dolores the most.
If it weren't for this incident, her first place would have been a foregone conclusion.
As a result, this idiot insisted on going after Shen Xing, and in the end, he detonated the powder keg.
"Count Roman, can you kill him?" Dolores turned her head and looked at the pale-faced middle-aged man beside her.
"Miss Lust, he's from the Daoton Family, a family with significant international influence. Taking direct action might not be appropriate."
He paused, then added, "However, we can unite with other affected lords to put pressure on the Daoton Family and demand compensation."
Upon hearing this, Dolores's lips curled into a dangerous smile, "Heh... then let's do it that way. Remember to contact several companies and make a big scene."
"That Lachlan must pay the price for his stupidity."
"Yes, Miss Lust."
Count Roman gave an elegant bow, then turned and left.
That night, led by Dolores, a dozen lords and their allies joined forces to lodge a formal protest with the Daoton Family.
Based on this Rain God Illusory Realm incident, each side is demanding substantial compensation, or else they will create more international controversy.
Upon hearing the news, Lachlan, who was far away on the artificial island, was so angry that he trembled all over.
Chapter 139: Expansion Pack Update, Rain God Statue Event Begins!
Shen Xing was unaware that Dolores, along with other geniuses, was putting pressure on Lachlan.
He lay on the CEO's large bed and slept soundly.
I wasn't woken up by the doorbell until after 8 a. m. the next morning.
"Ding-dong!"
Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?
Shen Xing rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the things I ordered have arrived?"
I checked the transaction page after logging in, and it showed that the items I purchased were still being processed.
"If it's not a delivery person, then who is it?"
With some doubt, Shen Xing went to the lobby on the first floor and looked at the surveillance footage.
What comes into view is a pair of long, straight, wheat-colored legs.
The fitted shorts tightly bound her slender waist, and even accentuated the soft flesh at the base of her thighs.
Because the camera lens is low, and the figure standing at the door is relatively tall.
So from this angle, those long legs almost take up the entire screen.
"Shen Xing, are you awake?" Yu Feifei called into the microphone from the doorway.
"You're awake? What do you want?"
"Open the door, I need to talk to you." Yu Feifei bent down and poked the camera with her finger.
"Can't we talk about this at the door?" Shen Xing said, "We're a man and a woman alone together. What if the other neighbors see you come into my house and ruin my reputation?"
Yu Feifei's expression froze, and she gritted her teeth. "Are you going to open it or not?"
"Not open."
"Is that so?" Yu Feifei sneered, "Then I'll have to tell everyone about someone's glorious deeds."
"What glorious deeds? I don't know anything about them." Shen Xing asked blankly, "What evidence do you have?"
Yu Feifei remained silent for a moment, knowing that he was trying to deny everything.
However, the woman didn't seem worried at all; instead, a dangerous smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Then, she took out her phone from her shorts pocket and started playing a video.
In the video, a figure in a wheelchair is seen chanting an ancient incantation in the courtyard.
"You took pictures of me without my permission?" Shen Xing's expression froze slightly, and she asked incredulously, "Are you a pervert?"
"Hehe, I didn't take any photos secretly," Yu Feifei said dismissively. "I was just planning to take some photos of the rainy scene that day, and I happened to see someone next door, so I recorded it."
"Do you think I believe you?" Shen Xing was speechless.
Believe it or not.
Yu Feifei put her phone away and casually said, "Do me a small favor, and I'll delete this video."
"Mr. Shen Xing, you don't want your video to be posted online, do you?"
"After all, you're currently number one on both lists, a celebrity in Heavenly Star Nation. This is really bad for you."
Shen Xing remained silent, then pushed his wheelchair to the front yard.
He could naturally tell that the woman had no malicious intent or any intention to extort money from him.
It's just a video; nobody really takes it seriously.
Moreover, if the other party really wanted to come in, an iron gate wouldn't be able to stop her at all.
"Clatter!"
The courtyard gate opened.
Yu Feifei, carrying a cardboard box in her arms, strode straight toward him with her long, tanned legs.
The flat shoes made a clattering sound as they stepped on the rain-soaked stone slabs.
"Speak, what is it?" Shen Xing glanced at her speechlessly.
Please help me take care of Duoduo for a few days.
Who is Duoduo?
"My cat."
Yu Feifei reached out and pushed the box in her arms forward. She could faintly hear rustling sounds coming from inside, as if there were some small animals inside.
Shen Xing was taken aback. "I've never owned a cat before, I'm afraid I can't handle this."
"It's alright, Duoduo is very well-behaved and won't run around," Yu Feifei said casually. "We've already brought the cat food and litter box; we just need to give her some water."
"I'm going to Cloud City in the next few days to participate in a two-star dungeon, and I'll be home alone. I don't want to send Duoduo to the pet store."
So I'll have to ask you, my neighbor, for help.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, just about to refuse.
At this moment, Yu Feifei added, "Oh, by the way, when I get back from Cloud City, I'll give you a Greater Soul Stone."
"No problem, we're neighbors, helping each other is only right," Shen Xing replied readily.
Yu Feifei glanced at him, and a smile bloomed on her cold and beautiful face.
Then, Shen Xing led her into the living room.
"Let Duoduo stay here; it won't run away."
Yu Feifei went to the corner of the stairwell, bent down and gently put the cardboard box down.
Shen Xing also leaned over and peered inside.
Inside the box, a small, milky-white kitten, about the size of its head, was lying on a soft cushion.
A pair of eerie green eyes looked at Shen Xing curiously.
I must say, this little guy is quite cute.
"Isn't Duoduo adorable?" Yu Feifei squatted down and turned her head to the side.
Shen Xing nodded, about to say a few words.
As he looked down, a glimpse of her fair, soft flesh brushed past her loose neckline.
Further down, the fitted denim shorts hugged her lower body tightly, perfectly outlining her round and perky figure.
He subtly withdrew his gaze.
"Oh, right, let's add a Green Bubble." Yu Feifei took out her phone. "If you have any questions, just text me."
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and had her scan a QR code.
A friend request appeared.
['She and Her Cat' has requested to add you as a friend...]
Upon seeing the familiar ID, Shen Xing looked up and stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Yu Feifei's lips curled into a slight smile, then she reached out and tapped 'Agree' on his screen.
"Okay, I'm going now."
Yu Feifei stood up; her height of over 1.8 meters even gave off a somewhat imposing aura. "Take good care of Duoduo, King of the Sky."
