In the evening, Chen Zhao returned to the hotel.
Then, he saw Portia rush into his room with a dark expression.
"Miss Portia, what's wrong?"
"Did you hit my brother?" Portia demanded.
"Yes. Is there a problem?"
"Why did you hit my brother? He's a kid. "
"Looks like you have some misunderstanding about the word kid." Chen Zhao sneered at Portia. "I don't think he told you the truth. Maybe I should've called the police. Attacking and kidnapping a billionaire might make him sober for a few years."
Chen Zhao looked up at Portia. Her expression turned into one of panic.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Boss … I'm sorry … I misunderstood the truth."
"Misunderstood? Okay, don't be so impulsive next time, "Chen Zhao said calmly. "Also, you better tell your brother not to do this anymore. Otherwise, I'll tie him to a rocket and send him into space. Trust me, I have enough money to complete this journey. Even if his destination is Mars, I can do it, let alone the atmosphere." "That's right," Chen Zhao said calmly.
Portia was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat.
She'd really been tricked by Billy this time.
But she also blamed herself for being too rash.
He had actually believed Billy's words because he was biased.
Plus, Chen Zhao was her boss.
His background was also unknown.
Chen Zhao's tone seemed calm.
But a few words scared her quite a bit.
"Anything else?"
"No … nothing."
"Order dinner for me," Chen Zhao said.
"Boss … how much?"
"Ten is enough. I ate a little today, so I'm not hungry."
"…"
Ten servings? You call this not very hungry?
I'll be damned if I believe you.
A while later, dinner was delivered.
While eating, Chen Zhao called and video-chatted with his two babies.
"Baby, are you done eating?"
"Yeah. Dad, when are you coming back?"
"Soon."
The call wasn't short.
It lasted until Gerlyn was called to dinner by Fali.
Then Fali started kissing Chen Zhao again.
After dinner, Portia asked, "Boss, are you going out tonight?"
Chen Zhao had gone out for the past two nights.
But Portia didn't know what he was going to do at night.
In any case, they were all very mysterious.
Portia guessed in her heart.
Was Chen Zhao doing something illegal outside?
But she couldn't care less.
Portia felt that she was just an ordinary personal assistant.
If Chen Zhao's tone was a little harsh, she would give in.
In any case, when she was free, Portia would let her imagination run wild.
For example, they guessed that Chen Zhao was smuggling firearms or selling drugs.
"No, I'll stay in the hotel tonight."
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"No, I'll call you if I need anything. Go back to your room."
Portia felt that Chen Zhao was going to start running naked again.
That was indeed the case …
…
In a suite of the same hotel.
There was a woman stomping her foot in anger.
"Damn it, that feeling is coming again."
Fulin had been studying and practicing magic in the hotel for the past two days.
But he didn't know what was going on today.
Elemental exhaustion had occurred several times in the vicinity.
Of course, Elemental Exhaustion only lasted for a dozen or so seconds.
However, those ten seconds had given Fu Lin a lot of trouble.
The spell she'd been practicing recently was continuous and couldn't be interrupted.
But because of the elemental exhaustion, the spell was interrupted for no reason.
It would be fine if it was only once or twice.
But it started happening in the morning and happened more than a dozen times.
The entire process took about an hour.
Then it went back to normal.
But at night, the same thing happened again.
Even if it wasn't elemental magic, many spells still needed magic to connect with the elements in the outside world.
If it was an elemental vacuum, many spells would fail.
Fulin tried again, but not long after, the elemental exhaustion happened again.
Fulin didn't understand what was going on either.
Could it be that someone was purposely causing this phenomenon of elemental depletion?
Impossible. He'd never heard of anyone who could cause this kind of elemental exhaustion.
It was like creating an absolute vacuum in a space.
With the current technology, it was impossible to do so.
If it was a small space in a lab, it could be done.
But it couldn't be done in a large space.
Not to mention an open space like this.
"I want to see who's behind this."
As he spoke, Fulin's eyes suddenly turned golden.
Fulin started to look around.
The golden eyes were called Spiritual Vision.
They could see the source of mana.
As long as the Mana Source was within a certain range, it could be sensed.
Suddenly, Fulin saw a giant on the 20th floor.
"Huh?" Chen Zhao was surprised. Someone was observing him.
Shadow Vision also sensed Fulin's presence.
The two sensed each other at the same time and realized that the other had already noticed them.
There was actually another spiritualist in the building.
The spiritualist seemed to live on the same floor as Portia.
Chen Zhao put away his spell, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
Knock, knock.
Chen Zhao knocked on the door.
Fulin opened the door and studied him.
"Please come in, sir."
Chen Zhao walked in.
Fulin was still studying him.
"Sir, I'm Fulin. May I ask how I should address you?"
"My surname is Chen."
"Mr. Chen, I'm curious. How did you sense me?" Fulin asked.
The moment Fulin saw Chen Zhao, Chen Zhao sensed that he was being watched.
"I have a special ability. I can sense any line of sight that is focused on me."
"I see."
Fulin didn't continue asking. "Mr. Chen, are you a local spiritualist in New Orleans?"
"No, you're a local?"
"I'm not either. I have business in New Orleans." Fulin didn't elaborate.
Chen Zhao was a bit disappointed, but since Fulin was staying in a hotel, he probably wasn't a local spiritualist.
He'd thought that he'd found the organization, but it wasn't a local spiritualist.
"Can I ask why you came to New Orleans?" Chen Zhao asked.
Fulin looked up at Chen Zhao. "Mr. Chen, do you have any objections?"
"I don't have any objections," Chen Zhao said. "I want to find the White Spear Society in New Orleans, but I can't find anyone."
Chen Zhao told Fulin his goal mainly because he wanted Fulin to know a local spiritualist.
It would be best if he was from the White Spear Society. That would save him a lot of trouble.
"You're also here for the White Spear Society?"
