Chapter 405: Really Here to Find Me

"Qin Hai?"

Someone cast their gaze toward the members of the Star Frost Team and couldn't help but ask, "Is that the newcomer who was following Old Lei and the others earlier?"

"That's right, it's him! That Strength Enhancement type Awakened."

"Now that you mention it, I think I remember! I just saw him come back with Old Lei and the others a moment ago."

"Could it be that the person that big shot is looking for is really him?"

As they spoke, everyone subconsciously cast their gaze toward Lu Yu not far away, their faces all wearing expressions of disbelief.

Lei Wei and the others also looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Captain, you heard what they just said, right?" the red-haired man looked around and said in a low voice, "Could the Qin Hai that person is looking for really be the Qin Hai we know? You have to realize, that person is a President, the same rank as the President of our Association!"

"I... I'm not too sure either," Lei Wei said with a helpless, bitter smile, "but it seems like there's only one Qin Hai here, right?"

The red-haired man and the others were suddenly speechless. That was true; let alone Qin Hai, in the entire He City Awakened Association, even among those with the surname Qin, he was the only one.

So, was that powerful big shot really here specifically to find Qin Hai?

No way, right?

If Qin Hai really knew such a powerful figure, why would he run here, where not even a single person was willing to let him join their team? Wouldn't it have been better for him to just stay in Yongan City?

The discussions of the people around rose and fell, one after another, never ceasing.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached from afar, clearly entering everyone's ears, instantly causing the atmosphere in the surroundings to fall silent.

"Qin Hai is here!" someone in the crowd shouted.

In an instant, hundreds of eyes fell squarely on Qin Hai.

"He's Qin Hai? That newcomer?"

"It really seems to be the person who came back with the Star Frost Team."

"He doesn't look like anything special; could he really be the person that big shot is looking for?"

This was the first time Qin Hai had experienced the feeling of being the center of everyone's attention; his heart accelerated uncontrollably, and even his breathing became rapid. He followed the crowd's gaze toward the counter.

He saw a burly man standing there with his hands behind his back; although his appearance was unremarkable, his entire person exuded an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.

Seeing him look over, the man nodded at him slightly.

"He really is here to find me!" Qin Hai only felt a "boom" in his head, and he stood frozen on the spot.

Seeing this, the others also stood stunned on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.

"Mr. Qin Hai, this is President Su; he has been waiting for you for a long time," the woman hurriedly reminded him.

Qin Hai finally came back to his senses, and an invisible pressure surged toward him from all directions like a tide.

One must know that the person before him was the President of the Yongan City Awakened Association, on equal footing with the President of the He City Awakened Association, and his combat power had reached C-Rank.

Although Qin Hai's goal was to surpass C-Rank and become an A-Grade or even an S-Grade Awakened, that was a matter for the future.

As far as the present was concerned, he had no power to resist in front of an Awakened of this level.

Under the complex gazes of the crowd—some shocked, some envious, some confused—Qin Hai moved his feet with difficulty and finally walked up to Lu Yu.

"P-President Su," he gathered his courage to speak, but he didn't dare to meet the other's eyes, only keeping his head down, his voice carrying a trace of nervousness and awe.

Lu Yu found it somewhat amusing internally, but his face remained as calm as before. He nodded slightly and said, "You are Qin Hai, right? I presume you already know the details?"

Qin Hai hurriedly nodded twice.

"Mm, since you understand, go back and pack your things, then come with me to the Yongan City Awakened Association."

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, everyone present seemed to have been hit by an Immobilization Spell; they were too shocked to speak, their bodies standing stiff as stone on the spot.

They couldn't believe their ears—this President Su was actually going to take Qin Hai away from here and bring him to the Yongan City Awakened Association?!

"Ah!" The crowd subconsciously cast their gaze toward Qin Hai again, their eyes full of shock and envy.

What kind of background did this newcomer have? To actually be able to have a President-level figure come in person to welcome him?

Everyone knew that once Qin Hai arrived at the Yongan City Awakened Association, his future would be limitless, far better than staying here.

So envious! If only they could have such a President-level figure looking after them, how great would that be!

In the crowd, the shock felt by the members of the Star Frost Team was even greater than that of the others.

Especially the red-haired man and the tall, thin man, who were stunned into wooden statues.

When they had taken Qin Hai out on a mission before, they were full of disdain, thinking this guy was a burden with no value to cultivate, and after returning, they were even pondering how to convince the Captain to abandon him.

As it turned out, they never would have guessed in a million years that this newcomer could actually have a connection with the President of another Awakened Association, and it looked like the relationship was quite extraordinary!

Qin Hai's heart was currently beating so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

As for going to Yongan City, he naturally couldn't ask for anything better.

Not to mention anything else, it was closer to the Zhai, and Lu Yu was also there; more importantly, the person before him was the President of the Yongan City Association!

If he went, the cultivation resources he would receive would certainly be much better than here.

However, he didn't agree immediately, but instead cautiously probed: "President Su, Lu Yu...?"

"Lu Yu is currently in seclusion; if you want to see him, you can go to the Martial Arts Association when the time comes," Lu Yu said truthfully.

"I see," Qin Hai nodded.

He felt there shouldn't be any problem with this; for one, Lu Yu had sent a text message to warn him in advance.

Secondly, given the status of the person before him, there was truly no need to lie to him; after all, he didn't have anything on him worth the other's covetousness.

"Alright, President Su, please wait a moment, I'll go back and pack my things."

"Mm, go ahead, I'll wait for you here," Lu Yu replied.

Just then, Lu Yu frowned slightly and cast his gaze toward the elevator entrance.

The next moment, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides, and a group of people walked out from inside.

"President!"

"It's the President!"

In an instant, the crowd was like a lit powder keg, boiling over in a flash.

In the eyes of the many Awakened, expressions of intense shock and deep awe were revealed.

Because the person who walked out was not only the Association President, but also several C-Class Awakened from the Association!

In ordinary times, this was a scene rarely seen.

Presumably, they were all stirred by the arrival of this President Su, right?
