Chapter 40

"Skye, your program has finished loading." Ye Li pointed to the high-tech laptop on the table.

He now also had hacker skills and could see that the configuration of Skye's laptop should be very high.

"Loading finished!" Skye was happy to see the progress bar on the screen.

However, she scanned the surrounding environment and felt it wasn't safe here, so she put the computer away first.

Hmm... sneaky, what kind of business is she doing... although Ye Li only glanced at the screen roughly, judging from the skills copied from the system, Skye's hacker technology was very superb, enough to make her happy, so she probably hacked into the database of some secret department.

Scattering the remaining breadcrumbs to the swans fighting for food, Ye Li clapped his hands, "Let's leave here first, the wind tells me this place has already been targeted."

"Wind?"

Skye thought Ye Li had some strange intuition, picked up the computer bag and smiled, "Do artists all talk like this?"

She didn't think anyone would target her just after joining the "Rising Tide" organization.

Otherwise, what kind of department would this have to be to have such high efficiency.

"Alright, great artist, don't be suspicious."

She grabbed Ye Li's arm, "Let's go~ take me to visit your art exhibition."

"There's nothing to visit there, I have a better place~"

Ye Li smiled mysteriously, "That's where I keep my best works."

Manhattan, Central Park.

In the Northern Building not far across from the Stark Tower.

"Sir."

The security personnel greeted Ye Li, then operated a tablet a few times and handed it over, "This requires your unlock."

Ye Li took the tablet, which showed a floor that was not open to the public.

After entering some decryption information, Ye Li took Skye up the elevator to this floor.

"Woah~! My god, Li, are these all your works?"

Skye let out an exclamation after coming out of the elevator.

This floor was filled with various insurance glass cabinets, containing paintings of various sizes and styles, and even some oriental ink works.

Even as an outsider who didn't know much about the market, she could see that these paintings were definitely a grade higher than those exhibited at the art exhibition.

"Some are my works, some are collected from other famous masters."

Ye Li came to a metal wall and pressed his palm.

The wall pushed open to both sides, revealing a portrait taller than a person inside.

In the painting was a heroic war goddess, looking lifelike.

Skye couldn't help but step forward and gently stroke the glass framing her, "What a masterpiece... what's her name?"

Ye Li smiled, "Goddess Athena, one of my famous works."

"Athena, huh."

Skye, who was interested in extraordinary things, had her thoughts jump, "Li, do you think gods, like those in Greek mythology and Norse mythology, exist?"

"I think so-called gods are just more advanced creatures, like aliens or something."

Ye Li calculated the time; it shouldn't be long before Thor's Mjolnir falls.

"Li, you sound like a materialist, when artists should be more romantic."

"Can't a materialist be romantic?"

Ye Li pushed with his hand, and "Goddess Athena" was pushed aside, "If you want to find a secret place to start operating your computer, this place is quite good."

Inside was a spacious space where artistic atmosphere and romance intertwined, with various fresh wooden furniture, and in the corner of the room, brightly colored paints and various painting tools, which looked like they hadn't been used for a while.

He pressed a switch, and the connected window shades automatically pulled open. Behind the one-way floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery of New York was in full view.

"There's another room inside, it's really surprising."

Skye was amazed and also full of admiration—Li actually used priceless paintings as a door.

There was a special kind of extravagance.

"Few people know, I've only brought Gwen and Jessica here."

Ye Li invited, "Now you have to be added, come in with me, little assistant."

Below the building.

A golden-haired figure followed.

Barbara checked the surveillance of Ye Li and the girl's journey and didn't find any useful information, "Maybe I shouldn't have followed them, but gone directly to investigate the Ghost Spider club."

She felt that following these two people, she could only eat some dog food.

Also, why was the wind unexpectedly strong today?

She had clearly checked the weather data before the operation.

"Found you."

Ye Li, who was feeling with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

He had already locked onto the guy following him through airflow sensing.

It seems I have to teach her a lesson.
