Chapter 418 The calm before the storm
"Since it is Master Liuchi's secret, we won't ask any more questions!"
After saying that, Jiangnan took Mingyue and walked outside.
After watching the two people leave, Liu Chi lay on the sofa, thought for a moment, then got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
While bathing, some ideas popped up in Liu Chi's mind.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, the neatly dressed Liu Chi disappeared into the room.
Using molecular teleportation, Liu Chi came directly to Liro's palace.
Standing in front of Janet's door, Liu Chi knocked gently.
After a while, Ling, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door.
"Lord Liuchi?"
Zero's expression showed some surprise, but also some confusion.
"Are you here to see Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Janet, isn't she here?"
Liu Chi did not use his spiritual realm to sense the things in the room, but wondered. At this time, he thought in his mind that Janet should have gone to the magic tower in the southern continent.
"Her Majesty the Queen has gone to the Magic Tower. I don't know when she will be back. Would you like to come in and sit for a while? It's a bit cold outside."
"Do you live here alone?"
Liu Chi asked, wondering why he, as Janet's bodyguard, would leave Janet.
Ling nodded and said a little embarrassedly,
"Lord Liu Chi, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Liu Chi shook his head and sighed softly. Since Janet was not here, there was no need for him to stay here.
"Since Her Majesty the Queen is not here, I'll come next time!"
Ling remembered something and said before Liuchi left,
"By the way, Uncle Ben said that if you come over, you should go look for him. He seems to have something to ask you."
"Okay! I understand. Thank you for your reminder!"
Liu Chi waved to Ling, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
This time, Liu Chi was teleported directly to the top floor of the West Coast Hotel.
After opening the soul realm and finding the room where Chris was, Liu Chi knocked gently on the door.
Soon Chris's voice was heard in the room.
"Is it Liuchi?"
Liu Chi didn't say anything, but continued to knock on the door.
Soon, the door of the room was opened. Chris, wearing loose pajamas, was rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands. As he rubbed, the headlight on his chest flickered as if to blind people's eyes.
Liu Chi coughed twice.
"Um, can I come in and talk? It's a bit cold outside."
"Oh! Yes, yes! Come in!"
Chris pulled Liu Chi over and brought him inside.
Unlike the manor, the hotel is not covered by a modern air-conditioning system. Its heating relies entirely on the building materials to absorb and store heat, and there are no active warming measures.
"Catherine was rescued, but we may have gotten into some trouble."
Liu Chi, sitting on the sofa, looked into Chris' eyes.
"What trouble? Liu Chi is not someone you can easily mess with. Let me beat him up!"
As he spoke, Chris clenched his fist into a sandbag-sized fist.
"I have something to ask you."
Liuchi said,
"Ask me anything you want, as long as it's something I know."
Chris replied, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Eastern Star, is there any conflict between you two?"
"Eastern Star? That place of hooligans? Earlier, when our store just opened, their people came to cause trouble here. Later, Catherine was so angry that she took the initiative to go and cause trouble. After that, we went to make trouble together for a while, and they compromised. Are they itching to do something again now?"
After finding out that it was the Eastern Star that started the trouble, Liu Chi became even angrier, and at the same time he picked up some ideas that he had given up.
"I understand. We need to be more careful in this period of time. There must be some tricks behind the scenes of Eastern Star. His current store manager has been dealt with by us."
"Good! He should have died a long time ago. That fat guy flirted with me again this time! It made me sick to death!"
Chris was happy when he heard the news that the fat man had died. Nothing could be more pleasing than this news. But Chris soon became worried and asked in confusion,
"So do we need to close the place and stay out of the spotlight during this period?"
Liu Chi shook his head and said calmly,
"Our store is here, we can't escape. Even if we can escape, we absolutely cannot just keep our tails between our legs."
Liuchi continued,
"Then what are we going to do?"
Chris asked,
"The hotel is open as normal. During this period, I will stay in Liro and wait for the queen to come back and ask about the situation. If the power behind the Eastern Star can be moved, I will eliminate him at that time."
Chris laughed happily and nodded vigorously to show his agreement.
"Okay, I'm going back to the manor to rest. Nothing should happen tonight. We will come to help tomorrow. Lance will also come. With his strength, he can fight even a quasi-saint master."
"Won't you stay with me for a while? It's been so long, I miss holding you to sleep at that time!"
Chris looked at Liu Chi with stars in his eyes, expectantly, hoping to get his reply.
"Maybe we'll have another chance later! I'm going back first."
After saying that, Liu Chi began to input the coordinates, and then his figure disappeared in the room.
Liu Chi, lying on the bed, immediately entered the sea of spirituality.
After arriving at the sea of consciousness, I felt that there were three more consciousnesses, namely Catherine, Xiao Jin and Yang Xi.
Liu Chi didn't think much about it, but went back to the hut and continued studying.
Feeling that Zhu Xiu was hanging out in the library with a few girls, Liu Chi didn't think much about it and continued with his work.
The time in the outside world soon came to morning. Under Jarvis' arrangement, after having breakfast and changing clothes, the group was directly teleported to the west coast.
After arranging accommodation for Lance and the twin sisters, Liu Chi and his group entered the gambling hall on the first floor of the hotel one after another.
Because it was early in the morning, there were not many customers in the place which had been busy all night. There were only people cleaning and responsible for security.
"Director Liu!"
As Liu Chi walked along, the staff in the venue would always call out this when they saw him.
After taking a look at the environment of the entire venue, Liu Chi had a complete holographic map in his mind. After a while, he came to the office on the second floor where he had agreed to meet with everyone.
Looking at all the people present, Liu Chi had the illusion that he was attending a company morning meeting.
Liu Chi pushed the door open, coughed twice, and sat in his seat.
"Let me make it short. The people behind the Eastern Star are likely to come and cause trouble here soon. In order to prevent them from returning, I decided to set up a dragnet in the building. Of course, the dragnet I am referring to is a magic circle designed to deal with emergencies."
"I have made arrangements for your respective work. I hope you understand my arrangements. If you have any objections, you can raise them here. Otherwise, you must do as I ask."
"I'll give you orders according to your strength ranking, starting with Lance."
When Lance heard Liu Chi calling his name first, he looked at Liu Chi with a smile and nodded slightly.
"You are mainly responsible for the security of the venue. As a master of the atmosphere, I believe you have enough strength."
As Liu Chi said this, he flipped his right hand and a small bottle of emerald green appeared in his hand.
"This is the Cinder Burning that I improved. Although it won't endanger your life, the effect is not as good as the Cinder Burning. At least it is enough to improve your strength in a short period of time. Lance, take it."
Liu Chi rolled the cylindrical bottle towards Lance.
Lance took it and said with a smile,
"I hope I never have to use this."
Liu Chi nodded and continued,
"Yang Xi and Catherine, you two will serve as the mobile team and be responsible for resolving disputes on and off the field. Chris, you just focus on being the store manager. Justine will be the assistant and assist Chris in his work."
"As for the rest, Jiangnan and Mingyue, you will just do your own jobs and be responsible for the top game matches."
"Sister Anna and the others haven't come back yet. We are short on manpower. I hope everyone can pay more attention during this period. It's not that we are not as good as others, but I don't want to lose anyone because of this. This little thing is not worth our sacrifice."
Liu Chi paused for a moment after he finished speaking, looked at Yang Xi, and asked,
"Xi'er, do you know where Sister Anna and the others went?"
Yang Xi shook his head and said,
"Jack and Andy may have taken the money and left Liro. As for Sister Anna, when we separated later, she said she wanted to practice and improve her strength. I don't know anything else."
Liu Chi sighed softly. Now he had lost the Dark Night Star Pupil, a magical artifact that could save his life. Several powerful followers had also left. After looking at the people sitting in front of him, Liu Chi secretly made up his mind.
You must become strong, strong enough to be remembered for eternity.
