Chapter 41: Prologue
In order to solemnly welcome Mr. Eric's arrival, the scale of this dinner was unprecedentedly grand, and as soon as Gu Yun and An Ling arrived at the venue, they only saw a black crowd.
Most of the people who were qualified to attend this meeting knew each other, and they had already formed their own small circles before the dinner began, and many sharp-eyed people saw Gu Yun and were about to take the initiative to come over to talk, but they were taken by Luo Xin, who had already been ambushed near the entrance of the club.
Unlike people who have a partner and don't have a partner to chat about the day, she has been waiting for Gu Yun here since the afternoon.
"Teacher! Uncle Chen has already arranged your seats. ”
"Okay."
Gu Yun followed Luo Xin all the way upstairs, the club is not yet fully open, almost every three or four meters along the way can see a guard, in addition to the security guards standing guard, there are two patrol groups on each floor, the patrol team is in a group of two, and it is almost a wolf dog.
With this posture, I'm afraid that even the bald head of "Hitman 5" may not be able to sneak in.
Different from the lively atmosphere downstairs, the entire clubhouse was solemn at the moment.
"This is to prevent the witchers of the Blood Cross from infiltrating the venue."
Rohin explained that in addition to what they saw, every few minutes, the patrol team had to confirm the code with the security guards standing guard, and it was said that the witchers of the Blood Cross had extracted the slime of the shapeshifters, enough for them to disguise themselves as anyone and infiltrate any place in a short period of time.
Their way of acting doesn't sound like a traditional witcher at all, more like an elite agent.
"And what is the Blood Cross?"
An Ling was a little hairy by Luo Xin's words, because she mentioned the group of witchers.
Although she has basically broken away from the witches' association, Avril is a staunch witcher, the two of them live together every day, and from time to time Anling can hear Avril tell about the evil deeds of European witchers, and in the long run, she herself naturally has a bad feeling for witchers, so that she feels a little uncomfortable when she hears about witchers.
"They are a group of extremists, Sister Anling, you must be careful of them."
The existence of these people is not only related to Eric Brando himself, but also the "ex-convicts" of Anling, Avril, and Rohin are also within the hunt range of the Blood Cross, and it is said that those people never care whether they are good or bad, and as long as they are identified as targets, they will be immediately swept away.
"It's best not to go out these days, I've heard that they seem to have a way of detecting anomalous creatures, and if you meet them on the street, you are likely to be attacked."
"Okay, I'll be careful......"
An Ling was frightened, and secretly decided that she would prepare a few more magic bags when she went out in the future, it seems that in addition to Spero, a demon hunter with a certain amount of humanistic care, there are also ruthless characters who kill people directly without asking questions.
After a while, the two of them were led by Luo Xin to the dinner hall.
In front of the hall is a stage-like facility, under which a dozen round tables are divided, each with a name marked on the back of the chair.
Gu Yun and An Ling found their name tags in the position closest to the stage, and according to Shen Yue's strong recommendation, the branch divided Gu Yun and An Ling and Eric Brando into a table.
Even if they had set up the most rigorous arrangements within their capabilities, it would only be a guarantee that the security system would not be compromised, and they would not be able to do anything if the Witchers of the Blood Cross had replaced the invited guests before the dinner began.
As soon as Gu Yun and An Ling walked over, they saw Shen Yue dancing alone and talking to Eric Brando.
"So Lin Ke embarked on a journey to liberate the four divine beasts and rescue the princess!"
Shen Yue, what are you talking about, Shen Yue!
As a veteran player of the Zelda series, An Ling naturally heard the content of this conversation immediately.
No, weren't they still talking about the dangerous extremists of the Blood Cross?
This topic is too jumpy, isn't it?
"Oh, Brother Gu Yun, Sister An Ling, you guys are good at coming, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Eric Brando!"
"Fortunately."
Eric said in standard colloquial language Gu Yun and An Ling, while also showing his trademark sunny smile.
"Hello, hello."
An Ling felt that this smile was a little dazzling, and hurriedly shook hands with the other party.
The situation at the scene was a little different from what she imagined, she thought that she and Gu Yun would be divided into a corner and silently enjoy this grand dinner, but she didn't expect that the person in charge of Chen would directly share them with Eric Brando himself.
"Mr. Gu Yun, I have heard Shen Yue tell you a lot of legendary deeds, and I admire you very much."
As the CEO of the now hot Geert Pharmaceutical, Eric did not have a little arrogance, but took the initiative to greet Gu Yun.
"Mr. Eric is very easy to deal with."
Shen Yue's attitude was very enthusiastic, and it was difficult for Gu Yun to associate her with someone who went out with a sad face early in the morning.
In fact, Shen Yue originally thought that this was a chore, the target of protection was a foreigner, first of all, the language barrier was a big problem, and if he was used to looking at people with his nose, it would directly lead to a very poor work experience - before he graduated, the students would also receive escort commissions, and at that time, he had met many such rich people who thought highly of themselves.
There are even female students who escort them, and they may secretly move their hands and feet.
Eric Brando, on the other hand, is not only fluent in the language, but he also shows an interest in any topic that is raised, and he can communicate well with her even when it comes to games and dramas.
At least so far, Shen Yue felt that she and Eric were getting along very well.
"By the way, we were talking about the story of The Legend of Zelda."
"Well, that sounds interesting, if there's the right opportunity, we might be able to do business with Ren Hell Corporation."
"Really?"
Hearing this, An Ling's eyes lit up, according to the current news on the Internet, Ren Hell's new platform plan is likely to be fully implemented in the second half of next year, and the last time it was shown was only the tip of the iceberg of the VR system, many games, which are still in full production.
"Of course, after all, we all have the same ideals, so that everyone can live a healthy and happy life."
What a lofty ideal!
An Ling has seen this many times on the Internet and in the college entrance examination full-score essay, but it is the first time that someone has really said it in person.
However, there is another possibility!
In the storyline, the kind of person who is sanctimonious and full of idealism as soon as he appears on the stage is often the villain in the end, then, Eric Brando......
Well, he's supposed to be a good guy.
Like Ren Hell, there are no bad guys!
At this point, An Ling immediately reached a consensus with Shen Yue.
