Chapter 406: Point Card

Lu Yu's gaze met with those of the few people opposite him, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense, as if the very air had solidified.

"Hehehe."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the lead let out a hearty laugh, took large strides as he walked quickly toward this side, and while walking, he cupped his hands and said, "President Su has graced us with his presence; I, Jiang, failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope Brother Li will not take offense."

His attitude appeared exceptionally intimate, as if he and Lu Yu were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

However, the expressions of the few people behind him were not nearly as pleasant; they were mostly cold-faced, their eyes revealing a look of vigilance.

Caught in the middle, Qin Hai only felt the pressure was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.

"So it is President Jiang."

Lu Yu nodded slightly toward him, secretly pondering in his heart that the ones who had been secretly observing him on the monitor just now must have been these very people.

As for why they didn't appear sooner or later, but chose this specific moment, they had likely already figured out his intentions.

"President Jiang, I have come this time with the intention of taking a friend of mine away; I presume... that won't be a problem, will it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua glanced at Qin Hai, then a smile appeared on his face as he said, "No problem, of course no problem. Come to think of it, this matter was our oversight. Brother Qin is actually a friend of President Su, yet he has stayed here for so long, and we were completely unaware; I am truly sorry."

As he spoke, he walked up to Qin Hai, and a card appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"That is!"

"A Point Card?"

"A 2000-point Point Card!"

A burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the surroundings.

"Brother Qin."

Jiang Hua reached out and gently patted Qin Hai on the shoulder, a very cordial smile on his face, "I am truly sorry for the grievances you have suffered during this time. This mere trifle is just a small token of compensation; I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he handed the card with a face value of two thousand points to Qin Hai, his face full of smiles, though his eyes seemed to hide a trace of inscrutable meaning.

Qin Hai could hardly believe his eyes; his eyeballs were almost popping out.

2000 points! The most points he had ever possessed before was only one hundred.

But now, 2000 points were displayed right before his eyes in such a glaring manner.

One must know that even for members of the Star Frost Team, the points earned each time they went out on a mission were only five or six hundred.

More importantly, the person giving away this Point Card was actually the president here!

The crowd around them was also stunned at this moment, their gazes first falling on Qin Hai, then slowly shifting to Lu Yu.

Even the most foolish person understood that, based on Qin Hai alone, how could he possibly make President Jiang take the initiative to offer two thousand points?

This was simply a fantasy.

Without a doubt, all of this was because of the person behind Qin Hai—Su Luo!

The president doing this was clearly trying to curry favor with this President Su!

Many people's eyes turned red, their hearts filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred; why didn't they have such a president-level friend?

Qin Hai also reacted, his face showing a troubled look as he looked at Lu Yu with a pleading gaze.

"Since President Jiang is being so kind, you should accept it," Lu Yu said.

2000 points were indeed nothing to him, but for Qin Hai, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Since the other party offered it voluntarily, refusing would only make things awkward for them.

"Brother Qin, you heard him too, hurry up and accept it," Jiang Hua urged from the side.

"Pre... President..." Qin Hai looked troubled, his hand reaching out and then pulling back; in the end, he still didn't dare to reach out and take it easily.

"Hehehe."

Jiang Hua laughed and stuffed the card directly into Qin Hai's hand, then patted his shoulder with his left hand again, saying, "Alright, go pack your things quickly; don't keep President Su waiting. By the way, after you go to the Yongan City Awakened Association, if you ever want to come back to He City, you are welcome anytime."

"O... okay, President." Qin Hai's mind went blank, and relying entirely on his body's instinct, he turned and walked toward the lounge.

"President Su, why not come in and sit for a while, have a cup of tea?" Jiang Hua turned around and looked at Lu Yu with a face full of smiles.

"I won't trouble President Jiang. It is getting late, so once Qin Hai is packed, we will set off; if we delay any longer, it will be dark."

He knew clearly in his heart that these people were on guard against him.

If he really stayed for tea, they would probably be on edge to the extreme.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the few people behind Jiang Hua all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so? That is truly a pity. Next time, the next time President Su comes, I, Jiang, will definitely host you properly," Jiang Hua sighed lightly and said.

The atmosphere in the lobby quieted down again, and everyone was waiting for Qin Hai to return.

Two or three minutes later, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Qin Hai, carrying his bow and Arrow Quiver, came running over.

"Li... President Su, I... I have packed everything," Qin Hai said, stuttering.

With not only two presidents before him but also several C-Class Awakened staring at him, he felt increasingly nervous.

"Mm, let's go then," Lu Yu said, glancing at Jiang Hua. The smile on the latter's face remained, as if nothing had happened.

"President Su, please wait a moment." Qin Hai's gaze searched through the crowd, and he soon found Lei Wei and the others, "I want to say goodbye to Brother Lei and the others."

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Qin Hai walked quickly to the few members of the Star Frost Team, looked at Lei Wei in the lead, his eyes full of gratitude, and said, "Brother Lei, thank you for taking care of me during this time; I will always keep your kindness in my heart. If one day you need my help, I will definitely do my utmost."

"Brother Qin, don't say that; that was just a small favor on my part," Lei Wei smiled helplessly, "After you follow President Su to Yongan City, you must cultivate well; I look forward to the day we meet again."

"Mm, there will definitely be such a day," Qin Hai nodded firmly, his gaze shifting to the few people behind.

"Brother Lin, you all take care as well."

The red-haired man and the others felt their faces burning upon hearing this, their old faces turning red.

"Brother... Brother Qin, you take care too."

"Take care."

Qin Hai waved at them, then walked behind Lu Yu and said, "President Su, I have nothing left to do here."

"Mm." Lu Yu glanced at Lei Wei and the others, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Hua and said, "President Jiang, we shall be leaving now."

"President Su, let me see you out," Jiang Hua said with a smile.

"There is no need for such courtesy, President Jiang." Lu Yu waved his hand, then after a moment of thought, he warned, "President Jiang, I have received reliable information that a Beast Tide will soon Explode, and the scale of this eruption may exceed everyone's imagination. You had best make preparations in advance."

"A Beast Tide? The scale might exceed everyone's imagination?"

Jiang Hua was stunned, and just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he discovered that the figures of Lu Yu and Qin Hai were already gone from before his eyes.
