"President … We're leaving today."
Chen Zhao suddenly remembered that Totty Belster's unexpected call.
The Psionic Team had been preparing for half a month.
Chen Zhao didn't know their exact departure time.
But after Totty's reminder, Chen Zhao was a bit dazed.
Chen Zhao didn't give Totty too many instructions.
He only said, "Be careful."
Totty had been a bit excited at first.
But now, he suddenly calmed down.
He'd seen how terrifying Chen Zhao was many times.
Even the power he had now was given to him by Chen Zhao.
As a result, he was always in awe of Chen Zhao.
Since Chen Zhao told him to be careful, this trip probably wouldn't be as easy as he thought.
When Totty had first obtained the ability to summon demons, he'd been a bit arrogant.
Other than not daring to be arrogant with Chen Zhao, he'd basically defeated everything else.
But now, he felt a bit uneasy.
Just then, a postman drove to the door of the house.
The postman stood at the door. He didn't dare to enter the manor, so he honked.
Chen Zhao had some impression of the postman. He should be a local in Mountain Town.
He seemed to have delivered items to his house a few times.
Chen Zhao opened the door. The postman adjusted his clothes and then entered the manor, trembling.
Outside the hall, the postman stopped again.
Chen Zhao stood there, waiting for the postman.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." The postman tried to keep calm so that he wouldn't panic.
"Hello, Mr. Postman." Chen Zhao nodded with a smile.
"Your letter. Please sign here."
"Thank you."
After signing, the postman left in a hurry.
He'd been to Mirror Lake twice, but it'd only been a mansion back then.
It was completely different from the manor now.
Ever since Mirror Lake Manor had been destroyed by the hurricane and rebuilt, the postman heard that it had been rebuilt.
But when he came here again, he realized how much the place had changed.
When he stood outside, he felt pressured.
After entering, he felt even more pressured.
Even though it wasn't his first time seeing Chen Zhao, even though it wasn't his first time here.
Fortunately, Chen Zhao was still the Chen Zhao of the past.
Chen Zhao had a good reputation in Mountain Town.
After all, Chen Zhao occasionally donated tens of thousands of dollars to the town government and the school.
Chen Zhao opened the letter at the door.
Inside was a very ordinary postcard.
But the person who sent him the postcard was no ordinary person. It was Aquilati Gasley.
There was also an address on the card.
Chen Zhao frowned. Clearly, this postcard was Aquilati Gisli's sincerity.
"Portia, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay." Portia knew what Chen Zhao was going to say next.
Chen Zhao followed the address on the card and found a slightly secluded villa.
Looking at the detached villa in front of him, its location and scale could only be considered passable.
It looked like an ordinary house.
This was far from what Chen Zhao had imagined.
Even if it wasn't a medieval castle in Europe, he should at least get himself a slightly prettier and bigger house.
However, the house in front of him was too ordinary.
Aquilati Gisli's influence wasn't small either.
They could easily take out a cruise ship and use it as a laboratory.
His assets wouldn't be lower than Chen Zhao's, right?
At that moment, the door to the villa opened and a fat old man walked out.
His white hair was very eye-catching.
The old man held a cup of coffee in his left hand and a newspaper in his right.
He wore thick-rimmed reading glasses, pajamas, and slippers with Mickey Mouse embroidered on them.
Chen Zhao rubbed his nose. The old man pushed his glasses up and looked at Chen Zhao at the door, his expression also rather shocked.
"…"
The two stared at each other for ten seconds.
"Aquilati Gisli," Chen Zhao said first. "You're the one who invited me, but you seem very surprised by my arrival."
"I'm a bit curious about the American mail system. I once sent a letter to Vincent in the same city, but it took three days. I thought you'd only receive it tomorrow or the day after." Taking a deep breath, Aquilati opened the gate. "Please come in."
"I'm also surprised to see such a realistic Giant North Sea Demon."
"What kind of image do you think I should have?"
"At least ask you to live on an island," Chen Zhao complained.
"Although I'm a terrifying monster in the eyes of humans, I have to admit that the entertainment that human society brings to life will make any intelligent life addicted." Aquilati Gisli let Chen Zhao sit at the table on the lawn. "Please sit. I don't have anything to serve you here."
"Is your organization short of money?"
"I've invested a lot recently. I had to sell many of my properties. For example, you destroyed my three-headed dog laboratory and the cruise ship, which brought me a lot of losses. Of course, the main reason is that it's comfortable here and there's no noise."
"But it's really hard for me to comment on your image."
"Think about it. If I become a big man or a woman and live here, are you sure I'll have peace?"
Chen Zhao thought about it. Indeed, if Aquilati Gisli became a big man.
Passersby would probably think that he was a fugitive or something.
If Aquilati Gisli became a woman, others might covet him.
"Also, maintaining the form of a young human consumes more life force."
"Your life force already needs to be maintained by aging in form to reduce consumption?"
"It's not that bad, but it's close. I haven't revealed my original form for 50 years."
"Theoretically, changing forms should consume more life force than your original form, right?"
"Changing forms consumes magic power, and the strength of the form determines how much life force is consumed." Aquilati Gisli glanced at Chen Zhao. "If you master transformation magic, you can become an ant. That way, your life will increase by a hundred times."
Chen Zhao's face darkened. If he became an ant, he'd rather live a hundred years less.
Aquilati Gisli could find pleasure in turning from a Giant North Sea Demon into a human.
There was no fun in turning himself into an ant.
"What do you think of my sincerity?" Aquilati Gisli smiled at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao glanced at Aquilati Gisli. The few yellow teeth in his mouth were too abrupt.
