Chapter 746

~6 min read 1,018 words

Hearing these words, Ning Chen fell silent.

A trap.

At this moment, only that single word filled his mind.

"What is the reward this time, a skill?"

Ning Chen asked, and quickly the system replied.

"It is a random draw for a skill."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chen felt helpless.

"Forget it, let it be, just give me another week."

As the words ended, the system hummed an "hm," and said no more.

Ning Chen took the documents in his hand again and found that floors forty-six to fifty were all empty.

Seeing Ning Chen looking at the positions of floors forty-six to fifty, Lin Yi explained.

"This building is high; only people ordered by Ye Lisi can go up. We have never managed to get in, so we have never been able to go up."

Listening to Lin Yi's words, Ning Chen continued flipping through the documents.

Until he saw Li Yu's photograph.

Lin Yi watched Ning Chen's movements and leaned closer.

"This person is the one we met last time; I rarely see him."

Hearing Lin Yi's understanding of Li Yu, Ning Chen made no sound.

His own understanding of Li Yu was not very great either; he could not make rash conclusions.

After finishing, Ning Chen put the documents down; he had memorized almost all of them.

"Hey, kid, do you really not plan to join my organization?"

Ning Chen slowly turned his head to look at Lin Yi. "No interest."

After speaking, he walked out the door.

He should return; otherwise, Servey would worry.

Seeing Ning Chen was leaving, Lin Yi hurriedly said.

"Where are you going? Do you want to consider staying here from now on? I still have rooms."

While speaking, Lin Yi caught up with Ning Chen's steps.

"Besides, it is inconvenient for you to walk around with this girl; it would be better here with me."

What Lin Yi said was true, but he had not yet told Servey.

"Leave the girl here with you for now; I will go back for a bit."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and suddenly felt there was great hope.

"When can you return? I have to go out at ten o'clock tonight."

Asking Ning Chen, Ning Chen did not answer him but walked straight toward the girl.

As soon as Ning Chen approached, the girl quickly stood up.

He then said to the girl, "You stay here."

"Why?"

The girl asked in confusion.

Ning Chen did not answer.

The girl watched Ning Chen walk out, then sat down again.

Her gaze at Lin Yi was very unfriendly, even giving Lin Yi the feeling that she wanted to take him out.

Thinking this, Lin Yi sighed and pulled a stool to sit farther away.

"A young girl with such fierce eyes; what will happen in the future?"

He muttered, yet dared not look at the girl even once more.

On Ning Chen's side, he was still wearing a hat and walking on the street.

Looking at the messy street, he paid it little mind and walked purposefully toward Servey's home.

Just as he stepped through the doorway, he heard a noisy sound.

"Ning Chen? We have not met."

Hearing such a dialogue, Ning Chen instantly understood; he heard someone walking toward the door, so he quickly turned and hid to one side.

"If we discover you are hiding Ning Chen, the consequence, I believe you know."

A black-robed man of the Church spoke to Servey, while Servey remained completely calm.

"Let us go!"

After watching the black-robed men of the Church walk away, Ning Chen finally emerged from the side.

Seeing him, Servey hurriedly pulled him inside.

"You fellow, do you not know everyone outside is looking for you? Can you not run around recklessly?"

Servey spoke with great worry.

"My daughter returns tomorrow; if something happens to you, how can I explain it to her?"

Speaking, he looked over at Ning Chen.

Hearing his words, Ning Chen was very puzzled.

Servey smiled and explained, "I mentioned you to my daughter; she is very curious what you look like."

Speaking, Servey touched his own head.

"Just taking a look won't cause any problems, right?"

Taking a look wouldn't hurt, but this time Ning Chen had come to explain the situation to Serwei: he was leaving here.

Having witnessed what had just happened, he became even more determined to leave this place.

For Serwei's safety, he could no longer stay here.

Otherwise, he would bring danger to Serwei.

"Serwei, I…"

Before he could finish, hurried footsteps echoed from the doorway, followed immediately by a knock on the door.

Hearing the commotion, Serwei quickly said to Ning Chen.

"Hide first; I'll go see."

As the words fell, Ning Chen nodded, turned, and hid inside the room.

After watching Ning Chen hide, Serwei walked to the door and carefully opened it.

The moment the door opened, a girl had already rushed in, unable to wait.

When Serwei saw her, he froze.

The girl smiled and said, "Dad, you don't recognize me?"

Hearing the girl's words, tears welled up in Serwei's eyes, ready to spill over.

"Good daughter, didn't you say you'd return tomorrow? Why come early?"

666. Still Interfered (8)

The girl smiled and spoke in a low voice.

"Of course, I wanted to see the handsome brother."

After speaking, the girl glanced around the living room, found no one else, and asked in confusion.

"Dad, isn't that handsome brother here?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Serwei finally realized; he quickly called out to the room not far behind him.

"Come out; my daughter has returned."

Curious, the daughter looked in the direction Serwei had spoken; immediately, Ning Chen slowly opened the door and walked out.

The moment Ning Chen appeared in his daughter's sight, her heart began to pound wildly.

Seeing his daughter's embarrassed expression, Serwei helplessly whispered a reminder.

"That handsome brother of yours already has a wife; don't get the wrong idea."

Even though Serwei said this, his daughter still smiled and walked toward Ning Chen.

"Hello! My name is Serya!"
