“I’m not sure about it as well! I’m just guessing! I think we will be able to get the answer that we want once we get there! Just remember! I will store you into the gourd if things get too dangerous! Only by doing that, can I guarantee your safety!”

“What about you? I’m worried about your safety as well!”

“Me? Unless there’s someone drops a dozen nuclear bombs on me, I think there should be no one on earth who can threaten my life!”

“You’re joking, right? A dozen nuclear bombs is destructive enough to destroy the entire planet Earth!”

“With your current understanding, it’s hard for you to gauge the difference between powers! But, I want you to know that I’m not kidding around here! When you’ve travelled to the Northern Wilderness Starfield, you would find out that there are a lot of mighty intergalactic elites in this universe!”

“Alright… I believe you…”

Lan Mengcheng nodded her head and chose to believe Chen Xiaobei. During the Atlantis incident, she caught a glimpse of the world of powerful elites. Though she had merely witnessed the tip of the iceberg, she had made up her mind to trust Chen Xiaobei fully, not to mention willing to follow Chen Xiaobei around to explore this new chapter of her life.

At Brighton’s mansion.

This place was far away from the city, a place surrounded by trees and streams. One could quickly tell of how scenic this place was. The fact was that someone had already claimed the ownership of this place where No one was allowed to set foor within a ten mile radius of the grounds.

With this piece of land, one could imagine how wealthy Brighton Organization was. In order to acquire this piece of land, Brighton Organization would need to spend a great deal of fortune and employ whatever their political connections they had in America. That was why Beicheng Cosmetics chose to ask for their help when it came to expanding into the American market. In terms of business, Beicheng Cosmetics was moving to the right direction. However, it seemed like there was something hidden behind. A secret.

“CEO Chen! CEO Lan! Thank you so travelling so far to come and meet me here! Please have a drink first! We will be having our meeting here today!”

The spokesperson of Brighton Organization, Jacks was very welcoming and ushered Chen Xiaobei and Lan Mengcheng to a fancy common area.

“We already had a drink on our journey here just now! Let’s get straight to the point of the day!” said Lan Mengcheng.

“Hehe… I have heard that CEO Lan is very good at what she does! You do live up to your reputation indeed! You should know that not even me myself would drink this extremely rare tea that came all the way from China! It never crossed my mind that CEO Lan would look down on it!”

“No… No… No… It’s not about the tea! I’m really not thirsty!”

“CEO Lan! Out of courtesy, I think you and CEO Chen should at least take a sip!” advised Wang Yuhao hushly.

“Secretary Wang, are you trying to say that we are rude if we don’t drink his cup of tea?” said Chen Xiaobei.

“We are guests after all. Seeing Mr. Jacks being so welcoming, I don’t think it’s a good idea that we embarrass him. Am I right? Mr. Chen!”

“Yes! Mr. Jacks is our Wealth God! I must not embarrass him in front of everyone! I will drink this cup of tea!”

Chen Xiaobei then nodded his head, picked up the cup and drank everything from it. Upon seeing that, Jacks and Wang Yuhao put on a subtle sinister smile.

“CEO Lan. You should drink some as well!” said Wang Yuhao.

“Fine…”

Lan Mengcheng nodded her head, put down the documents in her hand, and prepared to pick up the cup.

“CEO Lan is not even thirsty! I, on the other hand, am feeling really thirsty right now! Let me have this cup as well!”

With his quick reaction, Chen Xiaobei managed to grab the cup from Lan Mengcheng before she took a sip from it. Jacks and Wang Yuhao were surprised by it but they soon felt relieved. That was because Chen Xiaobei was the only one powerful enough to be a threat to them.

“We have drank the tea. Can we go straight to the topic now?” asked Lan Mengcheng while picking up the documents.

“Of course!” replied Wang Yuhao with his eyes squinted.

“I’m talking to Mr. Jacks! Secretary Wang, please don’t interrupt us! Just stay there and record down everything important!” said Lan Mengcheng.

“Heh! Maybe I should re-introduce myself! I’m an S-tier agent from S.H.I.E.L.D, the one they call the Phantom King! Jacks Bryan here, is just an A-tier agent! Technically speaking, I’m his superior! I’m the one who is in charge here!” said Wang Yuhao steadily.

“What? S.H.I.E.L.D? Agents?”

Lan Mengcheng was left in a puzzled state. She could not figure out what was going on.

“There is poison in the tea… So, this whole thing is a trap…?”

At the same time, Chen Xiaobei appeared to lose all his strength and limply collapsed on the sofa.

“Xiaobei! Are you okay?!”

Lan Mengcheng tossed her documents aside and swiftly ran to Chen Xiaobei’s side.

“I’m fine… but my Dantian is being disabled by the poison. I am weak. I’m afraid I can’t fight for now…”

“What… What the hell is going on? Is he telling the truth?”

“Yes he is! Jacks Bryan is a member of a Blood Descendant Family! Earlier, the U.S President had assigned Tyler Bryan to travel to China to kill me! Now I know that the entire family is working for the U.S Government! As for this Phantom King, I don’t know him… If he is an agent from S.H.I.E.L.D, he could be a mutant and I’m afraid the real Secretary Wang must have been murdered by him!”

“Mu… Mutant? How’s that even possible?”

“Chen Xiaobei! You are really smart! Congratulations! You’ve got everything right!”

The Phantom King smiled and ripples started to appear on his body. Seconds later, Secretary Wang had turned into a mutant with what appeared to be chameleon scales all over his body.

“This… This is not a dream… Secretary Wang…” shouted Lan Mengcheng.

“Wang Yuhao is a good secretary! He was working really hard when I killed him!”

“Are… Are you going to kill me and Xiaobei?”

“Hehe… You are now my prisoners! It’s easy for me to kill the both of you, but the government wants me to make the two of you beg for your deaths!”
