Chapter 241: Honorable Guest

“Oh my god! Royge, you actually sent Susan to pick up our esteemed guest! Are you trying to embarrass our Noctem Chamber of Commerce?”

Royge, the director of the Foreign Affairs Reception Department of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s Earth Federation Branch, looked at the roaring chief researcher, Tahm Kench, of the research department on the virtual screen in confusion. He did not understand why he was so angry.

‘Honorable guest?’

‘Please, from the information, he is only an 18-year-old Chinese boy. What is there to be honorable about?’

‘To deal with such a young and generally shy Chinese boy, sending Susan is the most appropriate, okay?’

In the past, he had sent Susan to receive such unimportant guests many times and had never caused any dissatisfaction in the Chamber of Commerce. Why did Tahm Kench come to flare up at him when he picked up this boy called Chu Nan today?

Moreover, why was it Tahm Kench who was personally taking charge here? Why was it not the deputy president of the Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of external affairs, Megan Talo, or the director of the research institute, Sar Finley?

Was there anything special about this boy called Chu Nan?

“Em… Tahm Kench, that kid called Chu Nan will be in Los Angeles at midnight. Don’t tell me you plan to let me send those dear subordinates to pick him up at such a late hour?” Royge could not help but complain.

“Why not?” Seeing that Royge still did not seem to be convinced, Tahm Kench was even angrier. “Isn’t this the job of your Foreign Affairs Reception Department?”

Royge yawned long and hard, revealing an extremely tired expression.

He was originally sleeping soundly with his third lover in his arms, but he was forcefully woken up by Tahm Kench using the Chamber of Commerce’s internal emergency hotline. He was already extremely unhappy, and now that he had been shouted at by Tahm Kench for a while, he was naturally even more unhappy. His tone became a little impatient.

“It’s our job, but it’s so late. Everyone has to rest, right? Apart from sending Susan, I can’t find anyone who’s willing to run so far to pick up a guest at this late hour.”

“Hmph! That’s your Foreign Affairs Department’s negligence!” Tahm Kench said angrily, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll definitely make a complaint in the meeting tomorrow!”

“Alright, alright. How can anything happen so easily?” Royge waved his hand. “It’s not the first time Susan has done this. She’s very skilled. It’s definitely not a problem.”

“Is there no problem just because you say so? Look at the time now. It’s almost 1 AM, but they’re not here yet! You can’t… wait!” Just as Tahm Kench was about to curse him, his expression suddenly changed and he looked out the window in shock, “Someone seems to have arrived.”

Royg immediately smiled. “Look, I told you that it was fine. How can Susan not even do such a small thing? Alright, since they’re already here, I…”

“Wait a minute!” Tahm Kench coldly called out to Royge and connected his personal terminal to the Chamber of Commerce’s internal network, displaying a monitoring screen. “Are you sure nothing happened?”

“Hmm?” Royge turned to look at that scene in surprise and discovered that in the monitoring screen, a strange-looking floating shuttle was parked outside the Chamber of Commerce and was stopped for questioning.

Beside the shuttle stood a man and a woman. The girl was clearly Susan, and the boy should be the Chu Nan he had seen in the information.

With a glance, Royge immediately saw the problem.

Susan’s private floating shuttle had an extremely unique style. He could not be wrong.

This shuttle was clearly not hers.

Most importantly, Susan was wearing the hot pants she was most used to on her lower body, but on her upper body was a black coat that was completely not her style.

Her expression also looked a little miserable. Her hair was disheveled, and her entire body was clearly covered in dust and leaves. She looked as if she had just rolled on the ground in the wilderness a few times.

“Could… could it be that she hooked up with this kid called Chu Nan before coming?” Of course, Royge knew what his niece was like and could not help but guess.

However, when he saw that shuttle, he changed his mind.

Susan treated her private floating shuttle that had been modified with great effort as a treasure. How could she easily throw it away?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Tahm Kench spoke coldly again.

“Royg, it’s best for you to come over immediately.”

“Why?”

“The guest and Susan were attacked on the way here and almost lost their lives!” Tahm Kench emphasized.

Royge was stunned, then he stood up and started to put on his clothes without hesitation.

“I’ll be right there.”

…

“Please wait here patiently. Deputy Director Tahm Kench has already confirmed your information and will be here soon.”

“Alright.” Chu Nan nodded and sat down in the historical-looking guard room to wait calmly.

Looking at the guard who had been checking for a long time leave, Chu Nan turned to look at Susan and discovered that not only did she not look worried at all, she even had an excited expression and was curiously sizing up the surrounding environment.

Was this girl missing a nerve somewhere…

Chu Nan frowned and asked, “Heh, Susan, why did those people from the Night Demon Brotherhood find trouble with you? I think they simply want your life.”

“Hmm? Oh, I just had a small conflict with those guys previously. They won’t take my life.”

Seeing that Chu Nan did not seem to believe her, Susan frowned and continued to explain, “My shuttle has been specially modified, but such a small collision can’t kill me. They know very well that they’ve already played similar tricks many times. Hey, it’s not always me who’s knocked down by them. I’ve knocked them down a few times.”

Hearing this answer, Chu Nan was a little speechless.

From the looks of it, the world Susan lived in was completely different from the world he was familiar with. He really did not know what kind of life this black girl, who was clearly not much older than him, usually led.

“Right, I haven’t thanked you yet.” Susan suddenly rushed over and squeezed to sit beside Chu Nan. She looked at him curiously, “Tell me, you should be a martial artist, right? But why do you have such a magical ability? I broke a few bones just now, but you actually treated me without any tools. This is too magical! Look…”

As she spoke, Susan pulled open her coat, revealing the naked body inside. She reached out and pressed it a few times.

“It doesn’t hurt at all. It’s as if I’ve never been injured!”

Chu Nan glanced at it and immediately retracted his gaze.

This girl was simply the standard example of forgetting the pain after the scar healed.

After suffering such a serious injury just now, she immediately acted as if nothing had happened.

Although this was mainly because he had helped her treat her, her mental fortitude was too strong—or rather, she was indeed lacking in some nerves…

“Before answering your question, answer me a question first.” Chu Nan thought for a moment and said, “Since you recognize that symbol as the cadre symbol of the Night Demon Brotherhood, you should know one or two cadre members, right?”

Susan was stunned for a moment. Before she could answer, she was interrupted by a shocked voice at the door.

“Oh my god, you actually provoked the Night Demon Brotherhood!”
