"I'm sorry, but I think this is indeed our first meeting. May I ask what brings you here?"
Ning Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze swept over the person in front of him, but he did not show any unusual expression.
An ordinary person?
The tall, elegant woman opposite me was actually just an ordinary person.
Moreover, her age is... thirty-three.
But judging from her appearance alone, you can't tell her real age at all; she looks like she's just entered her mid-twenties.
Ning Feng could only sigh inwardly, "Miss, you've taken really good care of yourself."
He had just arrived at the branch when he was stopped by this woman who seemed to have been waiting at the door, who invited him with a smile.
Confident in the security capabilities of the Watchers, Ning Feng was not nervous. He hesitated for only a moment before following her into the private meeting room.
This is a branch of the Watchers, and those who are qualified to walk around here without being expelled are unlikely to be enemies.
Moreover, not just anyone is qualified to use a private meeting room.
They either have great strength themselves, or they have a powerful background.
Although she was undoubtedly an ordinary person, Ning Feng sensed a danger emanating from this woman, making her someone he couldn't easily approach.
Is there some special prop?
But to say I'm afraid? Not really.
Ning Feng was just a little curious: who was this person who was suddenly looking for him?
Moreover, they chose such a delicate time, and he was the only one invited.
...Is it a coincidence?
I do not believe.
Is it another treacherous subject trying to harm me?
After witnessing so many "coincidences," Ning Feng always harbored negative doubts about fate.
Stop giving me gifts, I'll do it myself. Don't try to scam me by offering to help me out!
It's too full!
It's already overflowing.
The woman dressed as a wealthy lady opposite her paused for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and wanted to show a subtle expression, but she held back in the end.
"Ahem, this is... my presumptuousness. Please allow me to introduce myself."
She bent down, lifted her skirt, bowed her head in a noble gesture, then straightened her back, smiled, and said:
“Sophie Jaslin, I come from [Silver].
Her smile seemed reserved, but the pride hidden within it was as conspicuous as a torch in the night in Ning Feng's eyes.
silver?
Ning Feng's brows twitched slightly, and he quickly searched his memory for the other party's proud background using keywords.
Silver Noble Alliance Council
Or simply referred to as the Silver Council or the Noble Council, a first-class awakened organization with many legendary figures.
The Silver Council is composed of dozens of ancient families, a group of self-important individuals who consider themselves nobles and claim to be the legitimate successors of humanity.
Those with so-called "noble blood" flowing through their veins hold contempt for the "commoner" bloodlines of other humans.
Although they wouldn't say it outright, you could clearly sense their haughty arrogance in your interactions with them.
The fact that the Silver Council has managed to survive such arrogance shows that it still has a certain level of strength.
In terms of background and heritage, the Silver Council is one of the oldest, having existed since the Dark Ages.
Among those who survived, some former nobles formed a family alliance.
What started as a small group of survivors from destroyed families, who banded together to lick each other's wounds, has now grown into a true behemoth.
The exact number of true legends is unknown, but there are over twenty legends on record alone.
It looks amazing, but although their families are allied, the old grudges and frictions left over from their interactions over the past thousand years are equally deep.
The kind of thing that could bring all the legends together in the same camp is almost impossible.
"And, the surname Jasmine..."
If Ning Feng remembers correctly, the previous Silver Council Chairman and the current Finance Committee Chairman both come from the [Jia Silin] family.
Incidentally, he hasn't made any mistakes yet.
Sophie Jaslin... has an amazing background and looks very rich.
So, is she a wealthy woman?
Ning Feng: "…………"
So... rich lady, are you hungry? Need food?
Ning Feng dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind, and chuckled.
That's a real shame.
I don't have hair loss, nor do I possess the "rich woman's happy piano," so I can't make you happy.
Without changing his expression, Ning Feng slowly nodded and continued to ask:
"Ms. Jasmine, is there something you need from me today?"
Ning Feng remained calm and unmoved, having no demands of Sophie.
One who is free from desires is invincible.
No matter how powerful your background is, it has nothing to do with me. Even if you have money, you won't give it to me, so I have no reason to fawn over you.
It's better to get straight to the point.
Surely she doesn't have a crush on me?
His calm demeanor, devoid of any obsequiousness, only deepened Sophie's admiration.
The sound of high heels echoed softly in the room.
"What is it?"
With a soft laugh, Sophie walked slowly to the wine cabinet prepared on the side of the reception room and skillfully pulled out a bottle of red wine.
"The layout is the same everywhere, which has been a great help."
Various rare and precious wines are magically sealed and preserved at their optimal drinking time, omitting complicated steps such as decanting.
The wine-red liquid flowed into the stemmed glass, and Sophie, holding the glass, sat down on the large sofa, crossing her legs.
Sophie swirled her wine glass, a playful look on her face.
"I have come to Bincheng today as a first-class diplomat of the Silver Council to show our goodwill to that legend of your Bincheng."
She never concealed her purpose; from the moment she was exposed to the Watchers' surveillance, her motives were repeatedly analyzed and speculated upon.
This is actually quite normal and not surprising at all.
The way of life of the nobility determines that they are among the most enthusiastic investors. They have money and resources, and are not too worried about investment failures.
For them, even if they fail, it's just a loss of some wealth, which they can afford.
If even one case succeeds, the profits will be enormous, and previous losses will be insignificant.
"We don't necessarily need that lord to give us a reply. As long as he knows our sincerity, that is already a gain for us."
At this point, Sophie shifted her crossed legs, inadvertently revealing a mature charm.
"But I feel that what I gained this time was more than that."
"I've found you!"
His gaze was fixed intently on Ning Feng, as if he were eyeing a rare delicacy, filled with aggression.
Now, let's get to the main point.
“I have investigated your background, and I admire your bravery and fearlessness.”
Facing a legend requires thorough investigation. Before coming, Sophie carefully checked all the known information and even meticulously reviewed other details of that battle.
Others may only see the seemingly compliant and reasonable reports on the surface, but Sophie is different.
She trusted her intuition and keenly discovered part of the truth.
She discovered someone, an ordinary operator who seemed special.
The appearance of Ning Feng in the report coincided almost exactly with the turning point of the normal battle, after which the Bincheng Watch Society went from being passive to being proactive.
Adding to other details, Sophie was convinced that Ning Feng couldn't possibly be as ordinary as he appeared in the report; there must be more hidden details.
This piqued her curiosity.
What kind of person would make Overwatch actively hide?
Therefore, before formally visiting the legend, Sophie made a special trip to meet this somewhat "mysterious" man in person.
After meeting her, Sophie realized that she would definitely not lose out this time!
Before officially taking up her post as a diplomat, Sophie, who was famous as a socialite in the world of fame and fortune and had seen countless people, was very confident in her ability to judge people.
Especially when it comes to men, she feels that few can compare to her.
The seemingly easy-going and well-behaved man in front of me is definitely not as simple as he appears.
He possesses a unique charm; beneath his outward gentleness lies a chilling darkness.
This made her feel a strange stirring in her heart.
"I extend my sincerest invitation to you here."
In response, Sophie extended her olive branch in an exceptionally generous manner.
"Join us! Join the glorious Silver Will!"
"As long as you agree, you will receive treatment equivalent to that of a fourth-tier awakened individual, and this will increase in tandem with your strength."
