Chapter 80 Interstellar World: Cannon Fodder Providing Cheat Codes VS Marshal of the Interstellar Fe
Such a bullying and tyrannical person is better off being crippled, so he won't harm good people.
Seeing that they couldn't win and their leader was injured, the henchmen all backed down, leaving one person to keep an eye on the two while the others picked up the greasy man and hurriedly left.
After this incident, Su Jinyue lost her interest in watching the game. She looked up at He Shiyan and said, "It's boring, let's go back?"
He Shiyan nodded. He stood up first, then took Su Jinyue's hand, their fingers intertwined, and walked out together.
As soon as Su Jinyue and her companion left the private room, the arena manager rushed over, wiping the sweat from his brow and bowing obsequiously, saying, "I'm so sorry, it's our arena's fault for not providing adequate hospitality and for causing you both distress."
Our boss happens to be here tonight. He heard about this and is deeply sorry. He'd like to invite you both upstairs so he can apologize to you in person. We hope you'll do us the honor.
Su Jinyue and the other woman exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Su Jinyue had long felt that something was wrong with what happened tonight. He Shiyan clearly had the highest-level purple medal in the arena and should have received the highest-level service in the arena.
Unexpectedly, he was harassed by one of Thunder's henchmen here.
Although they didn't understand what the arena meant, Su Jinyue and He Shiyan had no reason to swallow their anger. Besides, they already had a grudge against the Thunder Star Pirates, so they didn't need to be polite and just took action.
Su Jinyue's suggestion to leave was also a test. After all, you can't force someone to do something; you have to be begged to gain the upper hand.
The two followed the arena manager to the top floor, the so-called boss's office.
Su Jinyue followed He Shiyan into the office. The manager of the fighting arena did not come in. After the two of them went in, he closed the office door from the outside.
In the office, a tall, short-haired man in a suit stood with his back to them by the window, looking at the scene outside.
The office was tidy and clean, and the documents on the desk were neatly arranged. The man's attire gave him the image of a shrewd and capable boss.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in interstellar space, Su Jinyue would have thought this was the office of a company president.
Hearing the noise, the man quickly turned around and looked at He Shiyan calmly.
Su Jinyue was momentarily stunned by the man's handsome face. He was slightly shorter than He Shiyan, but his aura was comparable to He Shiyan's before he began his cultivation.
But his demeanor wasn't based on his martial prowess. Su Jinyue could sense that this man's mental strength level was between 2S and 3S. He gave her the feeling of being more of a politician.
It's really strange that the arena owner in the Land of Exile is like a politician!
But what Su Jinyue didn't see was that when He Shiyan saw this person's face, his pupils suddenly contracted. He knew this person!
For a moment, none of the three spoke, and silence filled the office.
The man opposite spoke first. He chuckled and calmly walked to a position two steps away from He Shiyan.
"Marshal He, He Shiyan, it's been a long time." His gaze was calm and his expression was firm. Even though He Shiyan hadn't revealed his true face, he was certain that the person in front of him was He Shiyan!
"Lan Jing." He Shiyan didn't flinch or avoid the question, his thin lips parted slightly, uttering the name of the man opposite him.
Su Jinyue stood behind He Shiyan, looking left and right. Did He Shiyan know this person? They seemed to have a bad relationship, but there was some history between them, so they couldn't be mortal enemies.
Lan Jing was not surprised by He Shiyan's reaction at all. He turned around and walked to a single seat on the sofa, sitting down and saying to He Shiyan in a lazy manner, "Old friends meeting, why don't we sit down and chat first?"
He Shiyan paused for a moment, then led Su Jinyue to sit down on the sofa opposite Lan Jing, and also removed the disguise from his face.
Lan Jing carefully examined He Shiyan's expression and was somewhat alarmed, realizing that He Shiyan had become stronger again.
Lan Jing had seen He Shiyan from afar once before. At that time, He Shiyan was extremely imposing, and even the slightest bit of spiritual energy he exuded was enough to make people feel suffocated.
But now, He Shiyan has suppressed his aura and the pressure of his mental power is gone, but Lan Jing still dares not underestimate him.
He Shiyan now has a sense of returning to simplicity. His strength has improved even more. Lan Jing is happy for his old friend, but he also feels a bit bitter when he thinks about their current situation.
However, Lan Jing would not reveal these emotions to He Shiyan.
When Lan Jing saw He Shiyan holding Su Jinyue's hand and reluctant to let go even after they arrived at the office, she raised her chin at He Shiyan with interest and asked, "Aren't you going to introduce them?"
"Su Jinyue, my personal mecha pilot, will also be my wife in the future!" He Shiyan said calmly.
When Su Jinyue heard He Shiyan's introduction, she looked at him with sparkling eyes. He Shiyan almost lost his cool expression because of Su Jinyue's gaze.
He Shiyan secretly glared at Su Jinyue, telling her to tone it down and not go too far in front of outsiders.
Su Jinyue deliberately clung to He Shiyan. It wasn't that she was oblivious to the occasion; she had sensed the awkward personalities of the two men in the office and was trying to ease the tension.
He Shiyan was being pestered by Su Jinyue so much that he could barely maintain his cold and stern aura. Lan Jing watched the two of them playing around with a smile on her face, feeling that her younger brother from back then had returned. How wonderful!
When Lan Jing finally separated them after they remembered there were other people in the house, he said, "So it's your sister-in-law. It's our first meeting, so I didn't prepare anything nice. This is a VIP card for one of my properties. With this card, you can get 20% off anything you like. Don't be shy!"
Su Jinyue turned to look at He Shiyan, unsure whether she should accept the card. Seeing He Shiyan nod, Su Jinyue thanked him and accepted the card.
After seeing that Su Jinyue had accepted the card, Lan Jing turned to He Shiyan and said, "I was worried about you when I heard the news that you were attacked and went missing, but now that I see you are alright, I am relieved."
"They disappeared for over a decade without a trace. They only showed up after hearing I was missing. Where were they all this time?"
He Shiyan harbored considerable resentment, and seeing Lan Jing remain silent with his head down only fueled his anger: "The leader of the infamous Blue Whale Pirate Gang in the Land of Exile, it turns out, is also the mastermind behind the arena. What an extraordinary figure..."
Faced with He Shiyan's sarcasm, Lan Jing remained calm and said quietly, "Shiyan, I have found evidence of what happened back then."
He Shiyan paused abruptly, remained silent for a long while, and then replied with a grim expression, "You know, I never doubted you about what happened before."
Lan Jing smiled wryly: "I know, but I also have my reasons for choosing to leave the capital planet."
