The Mysterious Card Maker: Starting with Zhang Jiao's Deification

"You're not keeping a lover in there, are you? And you're afraid someone will find out?"

Wang Bo suddenly grinned, and the tense atmosphere eased considerably because of this joke.

Zhao Zhong also smiled awkwardly, and seeing that there was no movement from the villa for a long time, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As Su Wanqing walked out, the smile on Zhao Zhong's face froze for a moment, and his heart jumped again.

Seeing this, Wang Bo's smile widened even more. "See? What did I tell you? Chairman Zhao really does have a little mistress hidden here."

His gaze swept over Su Wanqing without restraint, and he said meaningfully:

"But... I think I've seen this person in the lobby before, what's she doing here again?"

Wang Bo narrowed his eyes. "Chairman Zhao, did she come here to tip off the people inside?"

The moment he finished speaking, an invisible spiritual force suddenly spread out, and Lin Fan, who was standing in the villa, also changed his expression slightly.

Because at this moment, he felt a spiritual force constantly sweeping over him.

"Such strong mental power..." Lin Fan's eyes gradually darkened. This Wang Bo was definitely not a simple character.

Outside the villa, Zhao Zhong's voice rang out again. He questioned Su Wanqing, "What are you doing here?"

Su Wanqing's expression changed slightly, but she reacted very quickly. "I noticed something strange happening here, so I came to check it out. I'm afraid there might be some kind of strange intrusion."

"Oh~" Wang Bo deliberately dragged out his words, his smile becoming increasingly strange.

"I remember you were the project manager at the foundation, right? Now you're even in charge of security? Chairman Zhao really knows how to save money, doing multiple things with one person."

As he spoke, his gaze swept back and forth between Zhao Zhong and Su Wanqing, his tone revealing an undisguised ambiguity.

"I just don't know... if it has any other 'uses' besides that."

Su Wanqing's face immediately turned cold, and Zhao Zhong's smile froze completely.

Seeing that no one responded, Wang Bo didn't care and instead slowly walked towards the villa gate.

Just as he reached the door, Su Wanqing suddenly reached out and blocked him from entering.

The smile on Wang Bo's face did not disappear because of this unexpected turn of events, but a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, it seems there's something shady inside!"

After Wang Bo finished speaking, several men in black who had come with him immediately stepped forward, their hands on their wallets, creating a tense atmosphere.

"Hey, what's the rush? Our Chairman Zhao hasn't even said anything yet, what are you doing!" Wang Bo said this, but he didn't make any move to stop them.

He pointed at Su Wanqing, who was blocking the doorway, then turned to Zhao Zhong, who was standing still. "Chairman Zhao, is this also your intention?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere outside the door froze, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Zhong.

If Zhao Zhong simply nodded, it would be tantamount to refusing entry to the All Souls Society, but as an organization affiliated with the All Souls Society, this was clearly inappropriate for their status.

It wouldn't be surprising if those men in black took action then, since in their eyes, these people from the Foundation were no longer under their control.

Zhao Zhong did not immediately express his opinion, but was still weighing the pros and cons. He also put away his previous ingratiating attitude.

Just then, two dark figures slowly emerged from inside the villa.

Da Niu walked ahead, holding a long axe, standing like a guard in front of the door. Behind him, Lin Fan strolled out of the darkness of the villa.

The moment Lin Fan appeared, almost everyone in the room froze.

But what shocked them was not Lin Fan himself, but the mask on his face.

"This is..." Wang Bo's pupils constricted sharply, and a hint of shock appeared on his smiling face. "The Underworld's ruler... Little Black!"

Clearly, he recognized the identity; the previous live streams had attracted considerable attention within the All Souls Society.

Their leader even gave a special order to have someone try to contact this so-called manager of the underworld, but since that live-streaming accident, this person seems to have completely disappeared.

He never expected that the Underworld Administrator would appear at the New World Foundation's manor!

Even Su Wanqing was surprised when she saw Lin Fan put on a mask and walk out.

But she quickly realized what was going on and smoothly took over the conversation, saying, "I came to check on the safety of our foundation's distinguished guests."

"Mr. Xiao Hei previously promoted our auction, and I've been handling those matters. He's staying here now; there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Zhao Zhong was visibly stunned for a moment, but after noticing Su Wanqing's gaze, he immediately recovered and his smile returned.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao Hei was making cards inside just now, which is why Wanqing stopped people from going in."

Zhao Zhong took over the conversation, saying, "As you all know, card makers hate being disturbed, especially when they are making cards. If they are not careful, the card will be destroyed and people will be injured, or even suffer mental damage."

Zhao Zhong paused for a moment and continued, "In that situation just now, if we had actually rushed in, the consequences would have been severe."

Hearing this, the doubt in Wang Bo's eyes lessened considerably. He naturally knew what being interrupted during card making meant; a slight mishap could lead to a mental breakdown.

In this light, the New World Foundation's reactions just now become quite reasonable.

Wang Bo looked at Lin Fan with a beaming smile, "So, that strange phenomenon just now was also caused by Mr. Xiao Hei?"

He spoke calmly and deliberately, "It seems Mr. Xiao Hei has created quite an extraordinary card this time! Would it be convenient for me to see it?"

Lin Fan stood still, secretly cursing the smiling tiger in his heart.

The other party seemed to be curious about the cards, but in reality, they were clearly confirming their identity, since it had already been made public that Xiao Hei was a card maker.

The strange phenomenon just now could not have been caused by ordinary card making. If Lin Fan couldn't produce any high-level cards, he would probably be suspected by Wang Bo and the others.

Lin Fan did not reply. He did not carry the voice changer with him, as he would expose himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

He rummaged in his pocket for a while before taking out the [Invisible Shadow] and waving it in front of Wang Bo.

"A Purple Domain-level weapon card!" Wang Bo blurted out almost subconsciously, and the Wanling Society members behind him also showed a hint of shock in their eyes at the same time.

Weapon cards are rare to begin with, and card makers usually don't bother making them, since it's much simpler to just summon a card spirit as a fighter these days.

Wang Bo stared at the card for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, "I knew it. That strange phenomenon just now didn't seem to be caused by anything supernatural."

"So it was Chairman Zhao who hid Mr. Xiao Hei here."

Wang Bo waved his hand, and the men in black beside him also removed their hands from their waists.
