"May I know why the three of you are here?" Jiang Fei asked the three old men.
"You don't know why we are here?" The well-dressed old man asked.
"Hoho, if I could predict the future, the chaos from before would not have happened …" Jiang Fei said with a bitter smile.
"Alright! I don't care if you really don't know or you are just pretending not to know. Let me introduce you! " The well-dressed old man sighed, then said to Jiang Fei, "We are members of the Elder Council. After some observation, we have confirmed that you are the current ruler of this world. Moreover, you do have the ability to manage this world."
"Elder Council?" Jiang Fei continued to play dumb.
"You really haven't heard of it?" A poor old man next to him asked.
"Of course not!" Jiang Fei clearly planned to play dumb until the end.
"Well, that's not important. All you need to know is that we have already approved of you," the well-dressed old man said.
"Old gentlemen, if you have anything to say, just say it. I am not very interested in whether you approve of me or not," Jiang Fei said unhappily. Jiang Fei said unhappily. Although he had confirmed the identities of these three people and knew why they were here, Jiang Fei still had to put on a good show.
"Do you know about the Snow Beast?" The well-dressed old man did not keep Jiang Fei in suspense this time.
"No." Jiang Fei continued to play dumb.
"It is a strange beast that concerns the life and death of our world," the well-dressed old man said.
"Oh?" Jiang Fei showed some interest.
"It is the key to the smooth survival of our world …" After that, the well-dressed old man explained the origin and use of the Snow Beast to Jiang Fei. Although Jiang Fei already knew about it, he listened patiently. He was waiting for the old men to tell him where the Snow Beast was.
"Err … Old sir, are you serious?" Jiang Fei asked, pretending to be unconvinced.
"Of course. I know that this is the first time you have heard about this. It might be a little hard to accept, but it is the truth!" The well-dressed old man said.
"I will believe you for now. But since you have asked me to look after the Snow Beast, where is it?" Jiang Fei asked the question that he was most concerned about.
"It is in the Life Building!" The old man said.
"Ah?!" Jiang Fei was stunned. He had almost turned the entire Life Building upside down. How could the Snow Beast be there?
"We'll take you there," said a poor old man.
"Hmm … Alright!" Jiang Fei purposely pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Follow us!" The three old men turned around and left.
"Boss, are you going out?" Anita had been sent out by Jiang Fei earlier, so she did not know what was going on inside.
"No need. I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon," Jiang Fei said.
"Okay!" Anita nodded and continued to do her own things.
On the other hand, Jiang Fei followed the three old men all the way to the Life Building. As it was not very far from the city hall, they did not spend too much time on the road.
"The three of you, since you claim to be members of the Elder Council, I can understand this old man, but the two of you …" Jiang Fei looked at the two old men in ragged clothes.
"Hoho, as members of the Elder Council, you don't have to be rich. The purpose of our existence is to help the ruler find out the whereabouts of the Snow Beast. At the same time, we ensure that the news of the Snow Beast does not spread. For this, we are willing to live as poor for a few lifetimes," said a poor old man.
"Err …" Jiang Fei did not expect these Elder Council members to be people of faith. For the sake of their mission, they were willing to live in poverty for generations. Even so, they did not forget their mission.
"Speaking of which, there are many touching people and things in the Gamma Dimension …" Jiang Fei sighed in his heart. If that was the case, he would not want to kill everyone here.
Soon, Jiang Fei and the others arrived at the Life Building. At this time, the Life Building was in a half-abandoned state. The security guards had already left, and there was almost no one in the building.
"Let's go up," said a poor old man.
"The Snow Beast is not underground?" Jiang Fei was confused, but he did not show it on his face.
"Three old men, can you do it?" Jiang Fei was a little doubtful of the three old men's bodies. After all, the Life Building had dozens of floors. Because of the power outage, the elevator could not be used, so they had to walk up.
"It's okay, let's go!" The three old men laughed.
"Alright then!" Jiang Fei nodded, then began to walk up with the three old men.
Although the three old men looked hale and hearty, as the saying goes, old people can't rely on their muscles and bones. These three old men were all around seventy years old, and a building with dozens of floors was really a challenge for them.
After a dozen floors, the old man in luxurious clothes could not stand it anymore. He stopped and kept panting.
"You … you guys go first … I … I'll rest for a while …" said the old man in luxurious clothes.
"Okay! Old man, we'll go first … "The two poor old men continued to lead Jiang Fei up.
Along the way, Jiang Fei and the others walked and rested. As they continued to climb, the two old men could not take it anymore. So, Jiang Fei could only walk and rest. When they reached the second floor, it was already five or six hours later.
"The Snow Beast is here?" Jiang Fei looked at the security door that led to the second floor. This was the office of the Development Team. He had confirmed with the leader of the Development Team before. According to Prudonis, the Snow Beast was not here.
"Hehe, you'll know when we get there!" said a poor old man while panting.
"Then how do we get in? This door is sealed," said Jiang Fei. Previously, the only way to get to the second floor was through the elevator. The security door was locked. Even he and Mr. Donner, who was the head of the security department, did not have the key.
"Open … Open the door …" An old man handed over a key.
"Ah?" Jiang Fei was stunned. He did not expect the key to be in the hands of these people.
With the key, it was easy to open the door. When the security door was unlocked, Jiang Fei pushed open the heavy door. The door was made of alloy and was a foot and a half long. There were more than ten locks on the inside. Without the key, even an energy cannon would not be able to blast it open.
"Let's go!" The two poor old men led Jiang Fei all the way inside. At this time, there were no military police or security guards on the top floor. The three of them entered very smoothly. The two old men found the hidden keyholes of the doors that originally needed to be opened with a card and used the key to open the doors.
