Chapter 78: Uninvited Guest! Who gave you the courage! (4/5, requesting data)

【Made the right choice!】

Seeing Luo Ge accept the business card, Zhu Di's expression did not change at all; Lance knew he had made the right choice.

Between the two, the man held the dominant position.

He knew the head of the Elra family was Zhu Di.

But through their various subtle movements and changes in expression, combined with Luo Ge's extraordinary aura...

He finally concluded that this nameless man was likely the true ruler of the Elra family.

So his gamble paid off.

Relieved inside, Lance's face broke into an even brighter smile.

Luo Ge accepting the business card meant the other party had accepted his overture, giving him a chance to connect with the Elra family.

For him now, the Elra family, which already held considerable fame even among the Erliuhei Gang, was a behemoth.

Its ruler was a figure one could only flatter, never offend.

Luo Ge gave Lance a meaningful glance, noticing the man seemed not merely a useless person relying on his daughter.

It made sense; the daughter was just a ladder to help him reach higher status, but climbing it still required his own effort.

To reach that level, he must possess some ability himself; otherwise, he could not have become the family head.

"You, are not bad."

Hearing this, Lance felt a surge of joy and immediately nodded in agreement, though he failed to catch Luo Ge's implied meaning.

After a while, having conversed with Luo Ge for a time, Lance finally left, even showing some reluctance to part.

He felt this was a rare and excellent opportunity.

Watching Lance's floating, elated back, Zhu Di asked curiously, "Is there anything about him worth paying attention to?"

Luo Ge should not waste time on a nobody, and besides, she hadn't noticed anything remarkable about that person.

He seemed just an ordinary person skilled at flattery.

Luo Ge rested his elbow on the table, propping his chin with his hand, and said meaningfully:

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will encounter a great opportunity later, and his achievements then will not be small."

"Eh?"

Zhu Di tilted her head, somewhat confused as to why Luo Ge would know such a thing.

But since Luo Ge said so, she naturally believed him.

"You need not pay him too much attention; whatever achievements he gains later have nothing to do with us."

Luo Ge shook his head.

The Nosla family's future status is indeed good, but with him, the Elra family's development will only rise higher and higher.

Moreover, in the Hunter World, strength is what matters most.

By the time the Nosla family rises, who knows what level of strength he will have reached; there is absolutely no need to deliberately cultivate a relationship with them.

Auction House,

Seeing the ruby in hand and with no more gem auction items to follow, Machi and the others decided to leave first.

Machi and Shizuku waited for Biscuit in the corridor; they planned to stroll around Greed Island City.

However, before Biscuit arrived, they first encountered an uninvited guest.

Tap, tap...

Heavy footsteps echoed.

Machi leaned her upper body against the wall, arms crossed, and turned her head to look; Shizuku beside her followed her gaze.

They saw a burly, rugged-faced middle-aged man walking from the end of the corridor.

He had triangular eyebrows, and the eyes beneath them were slightly narrow, revealing a hint of barely noticeable excitement.

Like a fighter in an underground boxing ring, he wore red boxing gloves on his hands, and secretly, his fists were already clenched tight.

Machi narrowed her eyes slightly; an unknown premonition in her heart grew stronger.

Silently straightening her body, she took Shizuku's hand and walked in the opposite direction; she wanted to get further away from that man.

Tap, tap, tap...

No sooner had they started moving backward did they hear the footsteps behind them become more rapid, as if shifting from walking to running.

【He's chasing us!】

Machi and Shizuku exchanged a glance, simultaneously realizing the problem, and more importantly, they could not outrun that man!
