This villa, which was used for lunch and birthday gifts, was still ridiculously large. The door was wide open, and the hall on the first floor was decorated like a banquet for guests to eat and communicate.
Although less than a day had passed, Lin Jie was already familiar with this process, and he was beginning to feel a little annoyed and bored.
After all, there was only one thing to do, and that was to communicate, communicate, and communicate.
It could be imagined that the next three days would probably repeat the same thing.
Even though Lin Jie basically relied on his mouth for a living and was usually willing to communicate, it didn't mean that he was willing to do the same thing for three whole days.
This kind of communication was mostly ineffective, and it was filled with all kinds of tedious diplomatic rhetoric, enough to make one's head swell.
And based on the current situation, it would take some time for these people to shake off yesterday's shadow and take the initiative to come to his door … Lin Jie couldn't guess how long it would take.
But fortunately, at least there was delicious food and three new customers to comfort Boss Lin's slightly bored heart.
That was what Lin Jie originally thought.
And when he stepped through the door, he was prepared to welcome the meaningless voices that filled his ears again, as well as the dazzling array of delicious food.
"Dear Mr. Lin, how are you? Please wait a moment." com
Standing by the door was a white-haired old man wearing a brown vest, white shirt, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He bowed slightly and reached out his hand to respectfully stop Lin Jie.
Lin Jie stopped. He was already familiar with this face, because this old man was the old housekeeper of A16 Manor.
When he walked on the road before, he could always see the scene of him commanding the attendants.
Lin Jie also asked politely, "So it's the housekeeper. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The old housekeeper looked at the smile, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "No, I don't dare to trouble you. It's just that Miss told me before to bring you to the side hall if I see you, and she hopes to invite you to lunch together."
"Oh …"
Lin Jie suddenly realized that Miss Ji had specially sent someone to wait here.
She must have considered the possibility that he would feel bored … How considerate of her. It was a stark contrast from the Eldest Miss of the Ji family who killed all the scumbags in his impression. She could be considered to have a fierce tiger in her heart, sniffing the roses.
"Thank you." Lin Jie nodded. "Since it's an invitation from Miss Ji, of course, I have to go."
The old butler made an inviting gesture and pointed to the corridor on the other side. "This way, please. I'll show you the way. But the people with you …"
Lin Jie could see the awkwardness on the old housekeeper's face. He thought that Eldest Miss Ji might want to talk to him about some private matters, such as how she had been hurt by a scumbag. It was indeed inappropriate for others to be present.
So he turned his head and said, "You two stay here first. If Charlotte comes back later and can't find you, it'll be awkward. You can wait to tell her and have a good chat with her."
Ge Leige and Fei Qi looked at each other. Although they didn't want to be involved, since Lin Jie had personally spoken, they had no choice but to agree.
"Have a good lunch. Remember to send my regards to Charlotte."
Lin Jie smiled and waved his hand as he watched them enter the hall. He thought to himself that it was a good idea to let the two of them have a chat. It hadn't been long, but they could get along so well. He turned his head and said politely, "Sorry to trouble you."
The old butler wiped his sweat and hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble. It's my honor to be able to serve you."
With that, he lowered his head and led the way. He led Lin Jie along the corridor to the side hall on the first floor of the villa.
—
Not long after Lin Jie's back disappeared into the distance.
Ge Leige and Fei Qi walked into the hall, but they didn't walk into the crowd. Instead, they found seats in the corner near the entrance of the hall and sat down.
After all, they didn't have any intention of chatting with others. Boss Lin had asked them to wait here for Charlotte, so naturally, they had to choose the most suitable seats so that Charlotte could see them immediately.
However, there wasn't much interaction between the two of them after they sat down. They had already finished all the information they wanted to talk about in the morning. The two of them still looked at each other with disgust. It was just that they weren't at each other's throats like before, so there wasn't much to talk about.
Ge Leige set up a small magic boundary, took out his communication device, and began to report the current situation to the Miyirt Tower.
"What — a god-level existence that hasn't been recorded before?! Are you sure the information is true?! We didn't see any abnormalities, and the Truth Society's ether detector didn't have any fluctuations either … "
Winston's reaction was similar to what Ge Leige had expected — shock.
It was similar to how he had been at that time.
"I'm sure it's true, and you can only choose to believe it. I saw all of this with my own eyes. There are two other witnesses who can prove that you can't observe her because she has mastered the laws of time. She can reverse time in an instant and return to the original time."
"Other than the people who experienced all of this personally, everyone else has already lost the relevant memories with the reset of time."
"Also, Fei Qi, the test subject of the Path of the Flaming Sword that I asked you to investigate last night, obtained some very important information under Boss Lin's intervention …"
"Fei Qi?"
"Yes, it's more or less like this …" Ge Leige told him about how Fei Qi had accidentally obtained part of the god-level's memories, and repeated the information he had obtained from Fei Qi. "The Path of the Flaming Sword has a total of ten god-level leaders, but they don't have a very deep cooperative relationship. They might not even know of each other's existence, so the situation of not being able to find the source has occurred. These ten god-level leaders each use the name 'Angel' as their code names, and they are … This so-called 'Angel' came from a book in the lower city. Moreover, the area they control is far more than what we've investigated …"
Winston's tone deepened, "Continue."
Ge Leige continued, "What we haven't been able to find out is that the organisation that supplied Fei Qi's potion is the dark elf elders who control the Withering Tree Merchant Guild."
Winston blurted out subconsciously, "Impossible! From the infighting between Cherry and Congreve, it can be seen that the Withering Tree Merchant Guild is also the target of the Path of the Flaming Sword. If their elders have already been controlled by the Path of the Flaming Sword, why would they still need to cultivate a mole? "
Ge Leige shook his head, "Sir Knight, you've forgotten what I just said. The Path of the Flaming Sword doesn't have a very deep cooperative relationship with each other. They might not even know of each other's existence."
Winston found it extremely absurd, "You mean … the Path of the Flaming Sword that controls the Withering Tree Merchant Guild belongs to one of the 'Angels', and the one who tried to infiltrate Congreve belongs to another? What the hell, what is this … "
How could there be such an 'organisation' in this world?
