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

"Is Mr. Xiao Hei here to make cards for the foundation?" Wang Bo asked Lin Fan.

Before Lin Fan could speak, Da Niu spoke up, "We heard that the foundation was holding an auction, so we came to check it out."

Before coming out, Lin Fan had already told Da Niu that he was going to pretend to be Xiao Hei, the manager of the underworld, but he couldn't speak, otherwise he would give himself away. He asked Da Niu to be his mouth double.

Although Da Niu had his doubts, he didn't ask any more questions.

For some reason, ever since returning from Dongliu City, he has been very obedient to Lin Fan's words, as if a voice was telling him that he could not disobey Lin Fan.

"Who are you? I'm talking to Mr. Xiao Hei, what are you interrupting for!" Wang Bo glanced at Da Niu next to Lin Fan, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

"I'm Mr. Xiao Hei's agent. He needs to contact me for all business-related matters!"

Da Niu spoke fluently, and since Lin Fan couldn't speak, he would have to rely on his own abilities.

Wang Bo nodded meaningfully, then his gaze fell on Da Niu. "The agent is really... different from others."

"If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you were Mr. Xiao Hei's bodyguard."

Upon hearing this, Da Niu puffed out his chest, looking completely righteous. "That's just your stereotype! Who says an agent can't also be a bodyguard?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest, "The competition in our line of work is fierce. How can we make a living if we don't learn some skills?"

The tense atmosphere was greatly eased by Da Niu's words, and even the people following behind Wang Bo showed strange expressions on their faces.

Wang Bo also laughed, "Interesting. It seems that the people around Mr. Xiao Hei are all quite unique."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lin Fan again. "In that case, does that mean Mr. Xiao Hei will also be attending the auction?"

Da Niu immediately chimed in, "Of course! We did some promotion for the auction before, and Miss Su even invited us to attend."

Da Niu said, looking at Su Wanqing, "Right, Miss Su?"

Su Wanqing reacted quickly, nodding in agreement with Da Niu's words.

"Indeed, Mr. Xiao Hei did help us a lot with the live broadcast promotion of the previous auction. Inviting them to participate in this auction was something that was agreed upon in advance."

Zhao Zhong responded with a smile at the opportune moment.

"Does Chairman Wang think that our foundation isn't even qualified to invite distinguished guests to the auction?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bo immediately waved his hand.

"Chairman Zhao, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. Card makers like Mr. Xiao Hei are not people you can meet all the time. I would be more than happy to see him again."

He then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Fan. "Mr. Xiao Hei, this is my business card. I do have something I'd like to discuss with you, but I don't know when you'll have time."

But before Lin Fan could even reach out...

But Da Niu, standing next to him, took the business card first.

"Hey, is this thing made of real gold?" Da Niu held the gold-edged business card, turning it over and over, and even shook it under the light.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and Wang Bo's smile froze. It was the first time he had ever seen someone holding his business card and focusing on whether there was gold on it.

Da Niu rubbed his hands together a few times, getting them stained with gold paint. At that moment, he completely lost interest in the business card.

"This thing isn't gold!" Da Niu muttered.

"The agent is really... humorous." Wang Bo's lips twitched involuntarily. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his emotions.

Lin Fan looked at Da Niu with a helpless expression. If this thing was gold, then this person must have money to burn.

Da Niu nodded seriously and casually stuffed the business card into his pocket. "We need to discuss what you're talking about first. When we'll have time depends on our schedule."

Wang Bo's face twitched, but he finally nodded. "Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Xiao Hei's news."

"If there's nothing else, we'll head back now." After saying that, Da Niu turned around and prepared to pull Lin Fan back to the villa.

Just then, Lin Fan noticed that Wang Bo patted the shoulder of someone next to him, and then a blue light appeared in that person's hand.

A Kalinga rushed towards Lin Fan.

All of this happened so fast that even Su Wanqing, who was closest to the scene, didn't have time to react before the Kaling appeared behind Da Niu.

【Invisible·Shadow Reflection】

The moment the words fell.

"Buzz"

A sword's cry suddenly rang out! A blurry, almost transparent sword shadow slowly emerged from the darkness.

[Control the Movies]!

Before anyone could react, Cheng Ying had already thrust out, but it didn't pierce the attacking Ka Ling's main body; instead, it struck the shadow beneath it!

"Thump!"

The moment the sword tip pierced the shadow, the Kaling that had been lunging at Lin Fan froze in place.

Lin Fan slowly reached out, grasped the hilt of Cheng Ying's sword, and amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, swung it at the shadow on the ground.

The shadows were chopped into pieces, but the Kaling itself was unharmed. After breaking free from the shadows' restraints, the Kaling writhed wildly, as if it were undergoing some kind of painful torment.

Its body became unstable, and with a muffled "bang," the card spirit instantly disintegrated, turning into shattered card fragments.

At the same time, the person controlling the Kaling suddenly turned pale, let out a muffled groan, and his forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

Clearly, after Kaling was forcibly destroyed, he also suffered a significant mental backlash.

In that instant, the entire manor fell completely silent.

Not to mention the people behind Wang Bo, even Da Niu standing next to him stared wide-eyed.

"My goodness, this sword... it can even cut through shadows?"

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Lin Fan slowly raised his head and looked at Wang Bo.

Wang Bo paid no attention to the people lying on the ground around him, crying out in pain; a smile still lingered on his face.

"This person can't even control his own out-of-control Kaling. I should thank Mr. Xiao Hei for stopping him."

Lin Fan remained silent. He knew that Wang Bo was still testing him, trying to verify the authenticity of his card and his identity.

"The people of the All Souls Society are indeed not simple!" Lin Fan thought to himself.

"So it got out of control. The Summoning Card is still unreliable. It keeps going out of control and turning strange. We'll have to be more careful next time."

Da Niu, completely unaware of Wang Bo's probing, breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Lin Fan inside.

But after taking a few steps, he ran out again. "Miss Su, when are you going to send someone to check the electricity?"

"Okay, I'll have someone come over shortly."
