Zuo Yi showed his ID as the chief consultant of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau to the receptionist.
In fact, now that Zuo Yi knew about Sophie Lauren and her identity and background, there were many easier ways for him to meet her. However, he still chose the most upright way.
The receptionist could not verify the authenticity of Zuo Yi's ID, but the very deterrent term "supernatural being" still made her temporarily dismiss the idea of calling security to ask Zuo Yi to leave.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, I can pass the message on for you, but I can't guarantee that Miss Lauren will be able to meet you. Could you please wait for a moment?"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Thank you."
The receptionist picked up the phone and asked for instructions from the higher-ups in Orson.
After she finished speaking, she put down the phone and smiled politely at Zuo Yi. "Sir, Miss Lauren is in a meeting right now. Please take a seat here. Would you like coffee or tea?"
"Give me a cup of black tea."
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "Thank you."
He sat down in the lounge area of the hall, and the receptionist quickly served him a cup of steaming black tea.
Without an appointment, it would definitely not be easy to meet Sophie Lauren. Zuo Yi was mentally prepared for this, so he sat down patiently and drank his tea while waiting.
After about half an hour, a middle-aged woman in her forties and a man in a suit came to Zuo Yi.
The middle-aged woman was dressed in an office lady's attire and exuded a shrewd and capable temperament. The man in the suit was valiant and powerful, like a lion or tiger ready to pounce on its prey at any time. He gave off a strong sense of oppression.
Zuo Yi could sense that the man in the suit had a very strong physique and vitality, and his supernatural fluctuations had reached the level of a C-rank.
The middle-aged woman was an ordinary person. She smiled at Zuo Yi and said, "Hello, sir. I'm Linda, Miss Lauren's assistant. May I ask if you're a supernatural being from Da Xia?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi stood up and shook hands with her. "My name is Zuo Yi."
"Hello, Mr. Zuo Yi."
The middle-aged woman said, "Miss Roland just finished a meeting. I'll take you to see her."
"Thank you."
Zuo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky today to be able to meet Sophie Roland so smoothly.
As for the man in the transcendent uniform, he completely ignored him.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged woman and the "escort" of the uniformed man, Zuo Yi took the elevator to the highest floor of the Polaris Building.
In the CEO's office, Zuo Yi met Sophie Lauren.
Sophie Lauren was less than 30 years old, which was the most mature age for a woman. She had beautiful blonde hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and snow-white skin. Her outstanding temperament was like a shining star in the night sky, dazzling but not overbearing.
What surprised Zuo Yi was that Sophie Lauren was also a supernatural being, and a B-rank one at that. However, her supernatural fluctuations were clearly not of the strengthening or the mind type, and there was no elemental resonance either.
It was very likely that she was a technology-type supernatural being.
Zuo Yi did not know much about technology-type supernatural beings, but when he thought about how Sophie Lauren had founded Polaris, a biotechnology company with a market value of tens of billions, in just a few years, he felt that it was very normal.
She was a cheater.
There was another woman in the office, and Zuo Yi sensed strong elemental fluctuations from her body.
It was another B-class superhuman.
Two B-ranks and one C-rank supernatural being, the strength of Polaris Biotechnology was obviously not to be underestimated!
While Zuo Yi was looking at Sophie Lauren, the beautiful and dazzling young rich woman was also sizing him up with interest. "Supernatural being from Da Xia, why do you want to see me?"
"I'm here to look for Gu Yun Xi …"
Zuo Yi replied frankly, "Miss Lauren, can we talk in private?"
Before Sophie Lauren could answer, the B-rank supernatural being standing next to her frowned.
She looked at Zuo Yi with vigilance and hostility.
Zuo Yi glanced at her and said, "Miss Lauren, I'm just here to ask for your help. Believe me, if I have any ill intentions towards you, no matter how many people you have around you, it's useless."
As soon as Zuo Yi finished speaking, the expressions of the B-rank woman and the man in uniform changed at the same time. The latter even glared at Zuo Yi, eager to teach him a lesson.
Both of them felt that their dignity as powerful supernatural beings had been trampled on!
But the next moment, their anger turned into horror.
An invisible power shrouded them in an instant, making them feel an unprecedented pressure. It was as if they were ants facing a prehistoric behemoth. Xiao Cao looked up at the towering mountain and felt extremely weak.
To be able to become upper-middle class supernatural beings, their willpower was not weak. But this indescribable sense of powerlessness crushed their fighting spirit and fighting spirit into powder!
Fortunately, Zuo Yi did not have any hostility or evil intentions. The aura he released was only for deterrence. Otherwise, they would definitely be embarrassed on the spot.
Among the people present, only Linda, the assistant who brought Zuo Yi up, was not affected. She was just baffled by the sudden change in the atmosphere in the room.
Sophie Roland suddenly said, "All of you, go out."
The B-rank female supernatural being immediately became anxious. "Miss …"
Sophie Roland smiled and said, "This gentleman is right. If he has any evil intentions, we can't stop him."
Although they were unwilling, the B-rank female supernatural being, the man in uniform, and Linda all left.
Only Zuo Yi and Sophie Roland were left in the room.
Sophie Roland was not afraid. Instead, she was more curious about Zuo Yi. "You said you're here to look for Gu Yunxi. You're not from the Gu family, right?"
"No."
Zuo Yi reached out and took off his "Thousand Face" mask, revealing his original face. "My name is Zuo Yi."
"You, you …"
Sophie Roland was still able to maintain her composure under Zuo Yi's intimidating aura, but at this moment, she was flabbergasted and stammered, "You're Riverside Dragon King Zuo Yi!"
Sophie Roland said the last sentence in Chinese, and it was quite standard.
Zuo Yi was not surprised that she could say his name, because he was now very famous in the inner world. Since Sophie Roland was an supernatural being, she must have an ID on the inner world.
"Yes."
He smiled and said, "Miss Roland, your Chinese is very good."
Since she knew Chinese, he might as well communicate with her in Chinese.
"Thank you."
Sophie Roland came to her senses, and a faint blush appeared on her white face. She nervously held her hands and said, "Mr. Zuo Yi, I'm your fan!"
Zuo Yi: "…"
