Chapter 568: MeetingTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Oliver looked at Kite and asked, “She’s the Lilia that you’ve been thinking about all this time? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

It was only then that Kite reacted. Thinking of his current achievements in the Northern Ice Region, he lifted his head with confidence flashing in his eyes. He looked at Lilia and said, “This is my cousin, Oliver. I followed him here to the Northern Ice Region for business. Our family has always been in the ore trade in the Northern Ice Region, and Oliver is the person in charge here. Right now, I’m his assistant.

“We have many working relationships with the Pop Clan as well. That’s why we’re here to attend the banquet tonight.”

Thinking of how, during this period of time, each sum of money he spent was worth thousands or ten thousands of gold, and that each command he gave was followed by several tens of Knights… Moreover, with the aid from countless resources, his abilities had also soared tremendously. All these things made Kite straighten his back even more proudly.

He threw a glance toward Fang Xingjian, thinking that this guy appeared extremely ordinary and that the clothes he wore were also very plain. Kite could not sense any hint of power coming from Fang Xingjian either.

Due to this, Kite lost a large part of his wariness and asked curiously, “Lilia, why have you come to the Pop Clan? Is this man here a friend of yours?”

Lilia took a look at Fang Xingjian. Seeing that his eyes were still tightly closed and that he was still cultivating, Lilia said, “He’s my friend. I just came by to take a look at the banquet tonight.”

Kite smiled at Fang Xingjian. He could not be bothered to ask for Fang Xingjian’s identity and just said to Lilia directly, “Lilia, accompany me over there. I’ll introduce you to a few people. In the future, no matter what you’re doing, it’ll definitely be very useful.”

Kite was filled with impulses to show off his network in the Northern Ice Region to Lilia right now. Having gotten such a rare opportunity to encounter Lilia, he had to get her to stay.

He also had a lot that he wanted to say to Lilia. Kite wanted to ask why she had withdrawn from the school, where she had gone, and why was it that he was no longer able to see her in the Great Western City thereafter…

Hearing that, Lilia turned to take a look at Fang Xingjian. Although Fang Xingjian still did not show any reactions, Lilia still replied, “Thank you, but there’s no need for that.”

Kite continued to say enthusiastically, “Lilia, don’t be shy. Although I don’t know what you’re doing now, the people I’ll be introducing you to are all influential people. As long as you form a close relationship with them, it’ll benefit you greatly in the future no matter which domain you choose to be in.”

Beside them, Oliver frowned slightly when he saw Lilia look occasionally toward Fang Xingjian. He knew that the relationship between Lilia and Fang Xingjian was probably not something simple.

He patted Kite on the shoulder and said, “Forget it. If she’s unwilling, then let’s go. I brought your name up to Bruce two days ago. He wants to meet you today. Come with me.”

At the beginning, Kite was still a little unwilling to part with Lilia. However, upon hearing the name ‘Bruce’, his expression changed immediately, and he nodded to Lilia, saying, “Then Lilia, I’ll go off to meet an important person first. You must wait for me. I’ll come look for you in a while.”

He was then dragged away by Oliver. Soon after, Oliver said to Kite, “You fool. Your goddess’ relationship with that guy doesn’t seem simple.”

“What? Impossible. That guy look so ordinary. They’re probably just friends.”

Oliver grinned while saying, “Didn’t you notice it? Each time you asked Lilia a question, she would turn to look at that guy. It’s clear that her actions are all dependent on him.

“Moreover, it’s not only outstanding guys who are attractive. Some guys aren’t capable at all but know the right things to say to keep girls happy. They are very popular as well.”

Kite frowned slightly and seemed to want to head back immediately.
