Ge Leige had been fretting and regretting the entire night over the news that the situation was likely to turn against Yue Sefu. The immense pressure of saving Yue Sefu and everyone else in the vicinity of Number 67 Street was all on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe. His mental state was already extremely tense to begin with.
Now that he had been stimulated by Fitch's ability, he felt like a balloon filled with water that would explode with just a little more force.
As for Fitch, this newly promoted Extraordinaire, he had only been a vagabond in the past and had never been injured to such a degree. He was almost in tears from the pain.
Fortunately, he was no longer the same as before. In an instant, he had used his ability to block out the pain in his mind. The trembling and cold sweat he was feeling now were actually just the remnants of the pain he had felt earlier.
The result of this confrontation was that both sides had suffered great losses.
Ge Leige thought to himself that this demon really liked to play with people's hearts. Who would believe that it was a coincidence that he had appeared just as they were about to fight?
He secretly gritted his teeth. Damn it, it was just like that time in the bookstore. He had purposely let him see Yue Sefu collapse, leaving him with an indelible trauma.
And now, he had purposely let him shoulder this heavy task alone.
If he couldn't overcome that trauma, he wouldn't be able to break out of this deadlock now.
What was even more frightening was that he had actually found another Extraordinaire from god-knows-where. This was clearly a new face that had never appeared before, but had instantly become his loyal fan.
According to the information he had obtained from Winston yesterday, this Fitch was actually related to the Road of the Flaming Sword. The reason this fellow could become an Extraordinaire was because the Road of the Flaming Sword was currently being tracked down by the Secret Ritual Tower as part of the "Sublimation" plan. Together with those dark shadow assassins, they were part of the same plan. Remember this in a second: http://m.9biquge.com
The people who had been interfered with all had one thing in common — they had directly turned from ordinary people into Extraordinaires of a relatively high level.
However, Fitch had no connection with the bookstore at all before this, so he had only been recorded as an insignificant name.
However, since the owner of the bookstore had chosen this person to contact, it must have been premeditated.
It was just that more and more clues were tangled together like a ball of yarn, making it more and more difficult to understand the purpose of his participation in this banquet …
Ge Leige looked at Fitch. Since there was no way to get the answer directly from the owner of the bookstore, he might as well start with this person.
Lin Jie blinked and looked at Ge Leige and Fei Qi who were secretly glaring at each other. He couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about these two.
If one had to describe it, it would be that the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Was there any conflict between the two of them?
They just met last night, didn't they? Why did they seem like old enemies this morning? Looking at the two of them, one more haggard than the other, could it be that something had happened last night … However, it seemed that the two of them did not want outsiders to know. Well, as their mutual understanding and good friend, he naturally would not interfere.
It was definitely not because the competition between customers would lead to better sales!
Lin Jie smiled and said to the two of them, "That's good. By the way, you two should know each other, right?"
Ge Leige nodded, while Fei Qi shook his head.
Lin Jie, "?"
The two of them looked at each other. Ge Leige was clearly expressionless, but Fei Qi seemed to see contempt and disdain in his eyes. It was as if he was saying, "I've seen through you long ago, but you know nothing about me."
Fei Qi could not stand those kinds of arrogant faces. He laughed in anger and immediately moved to Lin Jie's side and said shamelessly, "It seems that I really am ignorant. Mr. Lin, can you introduce me? By the way, I have a lot of questions to ask you. For example, I read the book you gave me yesterday. In it …"
Ge Leige did not expect that with just this one action, he would hand over the right to speak to Fei Qi.
The latter's mouth kept smacking, and he could not get a word in edgewise.
Lin Jie was also very receptive to this. He enthusiastically helped to clear up Fei Qi's doubts, and the two of them chatted happily.
Ge Leige felt like he was a clown.
No, the noble youth ground his teeth. This guy was just too thick-skinned!
Fortunately, Lin Jie had always been "fair". He even took the time to turn around and ask, "Little Ge, do you want to have breakfast together?"
Little … Little Ge?
Ge Leige's expression was about to crack. Although he knew that the owner of the bookstore would call someone like Wang Erde "Old Wang," it was still a little hard for him to accept it …
"Go!"
Ge Leige decided to give up on thinking.
He seized this opportunity to speak and immediately continued, "Actually, I've heard about the uniqueness of your bookstore from Mr. Yue Sefu, and I'm very interested in the books you sell. I'm sure you've already seen my troubles yesterday. Do you have any books to recommend?"
Fei Qi put on a fake smile, "Oh, it's almost time. Let's go eat first. Breakfast won't be served when the new banquet starts. We have to hurry."
This again!
Ge Leige wanted nothing more than to jump up and twist this guy's head off. His rising blood pressure made the veins on his forehead throb. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and silently chanted the incantation for "Grease" in his mind.
Dark warlocks weren't easy to bully …
* Pa — Bang! *
Fei Qi slipped and fell hard to the ground. He fell to the ground with a dazed expression, and then his expression turned to anger.
He had already blocked out all his pain, but the feeling of making a fool of himself in front of Lin Jie was even more unacceptable.
Boss Lin was dumbfounded by the fall, "Are you alright?"
Fei Qi got up and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'm fine …"
Lin Jie glanced at the ground. The pool of shiny liquid didn't seem to be there half a second ago.
He rubbed his chin and frowned as he looked around, "Where did the oil come from? Could it have seeped out? But that shouldn't be the case … "
How could such a strange problem exist in a mansion that had people taking care of it every day?
He suddenly looked at Ge Leige with a suspicious expression.
Ge Leige's heart skipped a beat. He had an extremely bad premonition.
It was as if something terrible would happen if the owner of the bookstore in front of him realized the truth …
He said stiffly, "Er … It's normal. In fact, this kind of floor usually needs to be polished with a special oil, so there might be some residual oil. Then, when the heater is turned on, the oil melts. When people walk past, the oil will press against the floor, and then the oil will come out."
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, "Is that so?"
Ge Leige nodded and patted his chest, "As a noble, I know a little about these buildings. You can trust me."
Lin Jie thought about it and agreed. After all, Ge Leige was a true noble. Sigh, evil rich people.
He shook his head and patted Fei Qi's arm, "Be careful when you walk. Don't fall again. Otherwise, you won't be able to attend the banquet if you're sent to the hospital."
Fitch shuddered, because that was his injured hand ….
Was Boss Lin warning him that if he wasn't strong enough, he would be eliminated?!
