Chapter 474: What I Miss
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen focused on Old K’s back door through their binoculars, trying to figure out the visitor’s appearance. Unfortunately, the nearby street lamps were broken for some reason, preventing them from getting their wish.
"If only Old Ge were here." Long Yuehong couldn’t help but sigh.
Compared to a fully functioning smart bot, carbon-based humans needed too much additional equipment to enhance themselves.
Of course, Long Yuehong had always remembered what his team leader often said and used it to motivate himself. "People aren’t born differently, but when it comes to success or failure, it depends on who’s using the tools available."
Bai Chen agreed with Long Yuehong’s sigh. "Unless it’s completely dark without any light, Old Ge will always have a solution..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Chen’s attention returned to the back door of Old K’s house.
Another car drove over and stopped outside the door.
What happened before was repeated again. A servant from Old K’s residence held a large umbrella and came out to welcome the guest.
In just half an hour, nearly 20 visitors arrived at the back door where the street lamps were broken. Judging from their clothes, there were men and women.
This stunned Long Yuehong and Bai Chen. They didn’t understand what was going on.
At the same time, Jiang Baimian—who had received Long Yuehong’s report—also discovered that a large number of cars had driven into Maschar Street where Old K’s residence was and stopped on both sides of the road.
Under the illumination of a large number of street lamps, the car doors opened one after another, and men and women dressed in bright clothes walked out.
Surrounded by bodyguards, they openly approached the main entrance of Old K’s house and walked in. However, their bodyguards and attendants remained outside before returning to the cars.
"They’re all nobles..." Jiang Baimian observed carefully for a while and came to a conclusion.
She and Shang Jianyao had been noble imposters. They had gained a certain understanding of the people of this class in preparation for the gladiator match. This was to prevent them from not knowing how to greet a noble when they encountered one.
The other party could fail to recognize them, but they couldn’t. Only then could they minimize the risk of being exposed.
"That’s right." Shang Jianyao pointed at a male noble and smiled. "I remember him. He mocked Dino for almost becoming the first person in high society to choke to death while drinking water."
Dino was one of the main characters during the assassination at the colosseum. He was the one who was ‘assassinated.’
"It seems... His name is Phelps," Jiang Baimian said with uncertainty.
Phelps was also an Akson with black hair and blue eyes. He seemed to have undergone genetic enhancement—he had above-average height and appearance. However, the muscles on his cheeks were slightly drooping.
After watching these people enter Old K’s house, Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully. "This is a banquet?"
She didn’t make a definite judgment because it was very awkward in terms of time. According to her understanding, noble gatherings usually started at dinner and lasted until midnight. People could leave at any time in the middle. Why would they only start gathering at 11?
