"Ah, I lost! I was about to win! " Cecilia pouted, her white hands in her pink pajamas drooped down listlessly, and the large group of Wessex Technology Company staff looked at Li Xiang as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Miss, Miss … It's time to go home." A man in black walked out of the crowd, bowed slightly to Li Xiang and Cecilia, and looked at Li Xiang with a complicated expression.
"Ah, I just came out and you want me to go home, I want to play a little longer, Uncle Banke." Cecilia twisted her body in dissatisfaction, hugged Li Xiang's arm and said, "I want to stay by his side and watch him play 'Pinball Player.'"
"That won't do, Miss, you see, it's already 11 o 'clock, if you don't rest well, it will affect your health." The man in black named Banke got up, his square face was covered with stubble, and he looked very strong.
He said coldly to the two maids behind him, "Why aren't you going to bring Miss back?"
"Yes." The two maids looked flustered and walked over submissively.
Cecilia got up unhappily, but she still obediently left with the maids. Before leaving, she looked back at Li Xiang and suddenly asked loudly, "Hey, what's your name?"
"Li Xiang." His eyes flashed, and he waved back with a smile.
Cecilia nodded and disappeared into the special passage with a group of staff, but Banke was still standing there. He exuded a dangerous aura, and his strength should be very strong.
"Little brother Li Xiang, can we talk?" Banke made a gesture of invitation, his tone was very sincere, and he didn't seem to be hostile. Li Xiang nodded and followed him out of 'Pinball Player.'
The two were going to talk in a nearby coffee shop. On the way, Banke whispered to him, "Our Miss didn't disturb your game, right?"
"No, Cecilia is very good, her understanding of these mechanical devices is no worse than mine." Li Xiang shook his head. This was the truth. As for the matter of Cecilia drawing out his special ability, he did not even mention the fact that he could tell that she was a mechanical type. He only gave a simple and objective comment on this mysterious lady.
"Ah, indeed, Miss has an extraordinary talent in machinery since she was young, that 'Pinball Player' is one of her favorite toys. When Sir Duke made 'Pinball Player,' Miss was only six years old," Banke said with a smile. His voice was low, but the amount of information in his words was shocking. "I didn't expect ten years to pass in the blink of an eye."
"Lord Duke …" Li Xiang frowned. The title system had basically been abolished in the current Seven Continents. After all, the current rulers of the Seven Continents were the Five Thrones and the Katas Zhaofei Committee. The various empires that were once prominent in the Blue Star had been burned down and ceased to exist. The title system was naturally gone.
But it didn't mean that it didn't exist.
It was said that the upper echelons still kept a certain level of the Title system as a kind of honor, corresponding to the military rank. It was only given to those who made great contributions to the Seven Continents as a symbol of identity and status.
Duke was undoubtedly the highest Title.
And the person who could be called a Duke was related to the Wessex Technology Company, this person's identity was obvious.
"I won't hide it. Today, little brother Li Xiang also saw Miss during the day, right?" Banco cleared the café, and the two of them casually found a place to sit down. They ordered two cups of black coffee. "Cecilia Wessex, our family's young lady is the only daughter of the Duke. The Duke is the founder of Wessex Technology Company, one of the two leaders of the military, and the owner of the Sky Arena. All the mechanical devices here were designed by the Duke, and all the blueprints were designed by him."
It was really him!
Ciro Wessex, the man who stood at the top of a group of mechanics.
There were too many legends about him. Li Xiang only knew that in this world, as long as it was related to machinery, it could not avoid Wessex Technology Company, and it could not avoid this man.
He created a complete system of machinery production, and even invented the Origin Substance extraction technology that was still exclusive to this day. Although they were both machinery companies, Wessex had more high-end technology and mechanical talents than the two major heavy industries. The two major heavy industries were more like super factories, while Wessex was a super research center.
Wessex also co-founded the military with the Kataszhaofei Committee, and was the only designated partner of the Chronometer Tower Consortium.
Li Xiang smiled bitterly. What was wrong with him recently? Why was it that whenever he walked around, he would meet people with terrifying backgrounds?
What was even more frightening was that Cecilia's identity as a machine was definitely a taboo among taboos. The Machinery Church's inhumane mechanical philosophy was rejected by most people, and as the spiritual leader of all Mechanics, Siro Wessex, hated such a philosophy even more.
"Very surprised, right?" Banco took a sip of coffee and observed Li Xiang's expression. "Most people are very surprised when they see our young mistress for the first time. After all, our young mistress has not officially appeared in the public eye as the duke's daughter. Due to some reasons, she will only announce her identity after her eighteenth birthday party."
Li Xiang drank the black coffee and waited for him to finish.
"You are a very smart person, and your strength is not bad. You are also a Polar night graduate. Your future is bright, and you might even be able to enter a Chronometer Tower Consortium university. "Banco's voice became softer and softer. Li Xiang was very familiar with this tone. It was the last compliment before the showdown.
However, the fact that Banco could reveal so many of his identities made Li Xiang sigh. Indeed, in the eyes of people from large organizations, most of the information could not be hidden.
"I will keep it short. Very few people have seen our young mistress in this state tonight. I hope you can forget what happened tonight. How about it?" Banco finished the last sip of coffee and purposely revealed the magic circuit on his arm.
The dazzling red light stimulated Li Xiang's eyes.
The magic circuit on his arm was much more perfect than Li Xiang's. The person who could protect such a young mistress was naturally not simple. At the very least, he had to be a magician.
What was more frightening was that Li Xiang did not see any change in Banco's emotions at all. Generally speaking, the magic circuit inevitably involved emotional fluctuations. Although most people would cover it up, it would still be a little different in the eyes of the observant.
However, Banco's emotions did not change at all. This meant that he could already control his emotions very well and did not show them on the surface.
"Don't worry, I won't remember anything." Li Xiang would be stupid to go against the people of Wessex. This time, he needed Professor Maria's help, and Maria was only a mid-level and high-level employee of Wessex Technology Company.
If you offended Wessex, unless you were at the level of the Five Kings, you would not be able to move an inch in the seven continents.
"It's nice to talk to smart people. Thank you, Brother Li Xiang." Banco stood up. He had just made this promise. If too many people saw the young mistress in this state tonight, as a guard, he would be waiting for death.
Fortunately, she came to Li Xiang's side unexpectedly and was only seen by him.
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll continue to the arena." Li Xiang also stood up. He still had to earn 50,000 points tonight.
"Wait a moment, please accept this." Banco fumbled in his arms for a while, then took out an envelope and handed it to Li Xiang. "This is my personal thank you gift."
