Chapter 2496: Chapter 2491: Business at the Door

From the perspective of the Greedy Worms, the current situation indeed doesn’t look too good.

The disappearance of Ji Yin is one thing; how to deal with the Rebirth Club knocking on their door is a more immediate crisis.

But a crisis is also an ”opportunity.” To truly consider Mr. Laurie and his group as lambs to the slaughter is to underestimate them.

Do not forget how the initial contact was established.

While I was sipping juice peacefully, this Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist deliberately approached, even probing with concepts akin to the Rebirth Club.

The hypothesis back then was that they were taking a bold move, possibly due to Selana’s disappearance.

Seeing how Moore behaved, he seemed quite cautious and likely did not expose his Bloodline Clan characteristics.

Whether by coincidence or through some special means, if the Greedy Worms did sense such a mysterious figure, it’s likely they would consider her as someone from enlightenment.

In such a scenario, the necessity of collaborating with Yasui needs to be re-evaluated.

Regardless of the schemes at play, the evaluation seems to favor insights from the Abandonment King.

Otherwise, there’s no reason to remain hidden and expose oneself blatantly, especially in front of a tough opponent like the Rebirth Club.

Overall, sensing the determination of the Greedy Worms to extract chestnuts from the fire, while I observe their actions, they must also be watching what I’ll do next.

For Mr. Laurie’s group, no matter how passive the process, as long as they can discern even a trace of the Demigod, to some extent, it would be worth it.

There are no coincidences without reason; clearly, they wouldn’t believe the Rebirth Club’s appearance there is unrelated to the mysterious female Demigod.

Even if their guess was right, it’s just that the relation may not be as they thought.

But it’s okay, many things are built on serendipitous mishaps, it doesn’t always require the wisdom of omniscient insight.

Moreover, this time they have offline guidance from their object of faith.

The reason Fu Qian wanted to take a look was simple; as the only person theoretically remaining on shore from Yasui and Siren, understanding Moore this way is significant for both organizations.

Meanwhile, Lady Selana’s sudden disappearance for some currently incomprehensible reason—any progress here should also be meaningful to Mr. Laurie.

After all, cooperation should be win-win.

As for whether they’ll be shocked when they actually find her, that’s another matter.

”Alright.”

The Greedy Worms indeed are determined, giving a deep look this way, Laurie soon nodded.

...

”Hello, can you provide security services here?”

Not all of them acted, Laurie and Brother Shu Lan even stayed below on alert, only sending Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist as a guide, showing great trust in her.

Then, it’s noticeable that it wasn’t hidden too deeply; that special company was prominently located atop one of the buildings, even with a receptionist sitting there.

And from the latter’s slightly wary gaze, Fu Qian walked up with a smile and greeted the woman in her thirties, clearly stating his purpose.

Indeed, very weak, not even at the Middle Tier.

Including a few faces peeking out from inside upon hearing the commotion, the one with the best expression under Lei’s radar was only at the level of Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist.

It feels like Laurie’s team, even in a frontal fight, would have no problem clearing this place up.

Moreover, they were right; the ranking isn’t high, but it is pure, all of them are Transcendents.

Even at this moment, like the receptionist, they are dressed very formally, resembling office workers, with eyes as gentle as possible.

Faced with such professional spirit, Fu Qian’s response was to smile back politely.

”Yes... but we only handle some fixed services, sorry, we are temporarily not open to the public.”

The receptionist, who appeared trained even in such aspects, gave a reason and declined the offered business after a moment of shock.

”Actually, you may want to hear about the contents and the offer first.”

The customer remained persistent, insisting on reaching a collaboration, and even uninvitedly sat down beside without hesitation.

...

Appearing somewhat at a loss, the receptionist glanced inside helplessly at that moment.

Yet, even the supposedly most skillful candidate, whom Fu Qian dubbed as such when seeking help, remained seated without moving.

”I’m truly sorry, but regardless of how lucrative the reward is, we definitely won’t accept it.”

With no other option, the receptionist took a few steps closer, emphasizing the company’s principles, even looking toward Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, seemingly hoping she might speak up.

Unfortunately, the latter also seemed somewhat intimidated by the Rebirth Club’s assertiveness, appearing hesitant about whether to sit down, thoroughly embodying an assistant’s pose, clearly unreliable.

”Sea of Ashes.”

The dominance continued, ignoring the receptionist’s explanation as Fu Qian directly spoke out a phrase,

Hmm...

The receptionist’s reaction was not surprising, after a brief daze, she once again glanced back for help.

Alas, this time there wasn’t even anyone peeking out.

Of course, in Fu Qian’s judgment, those behind the cubicles are likely not socially anxious but are eagerly assessing the necessity of eliminating them.

After all, no matter how slow, they should now realize the visitors are not friendly.

Even if their strength is a bit lacking, without deliberate concealment, it shouldn’t be hard for them to discern the Transcendent nature of the two.

Not to mention ”Sea of Ashes” as a destination, which ordinary Transcendents would avoid.

In a reversed role, my and Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s actions could be seen as having detected their infiltration and arrived to provoke — but at least we haven’t made a move yet.

Though the atmosphere is tense, the fact that it has persisted to this point already suggests some circumstances—

Clearly a specifically held-back group, but their strength is indeed not strong...

Even aware of being exposed, they maintain notable reservation, seemingly under strict orders to act discreetly...

What significance could such a group have in Moore amidst such tense circumstances?

”It’s regrettable, for one, as I mentioned, our business scope, and on the other hand, it seems we can’t set out to sea now, a storm is about to come.”

As Fu Qian summarized the findings here, the unsupported receptionist had no choice but to handle matters herself, even speaking with continued politeness.

But that reason?

Fu Qian glanced out the window; the day had quickly passed and the sky darkened once more, yet the starry sky appeared fairly radiant — boom!

At that moment, a dramatic scene unfolded, as a thunderclap erupted directly.

”I’ve been predicting very accurately lately.”

Seeing Fu Qian say nothing, the receptionist even appeared slightly smug at that moment.
