Chapter 401: Stay

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After passing them their gifts and a short conversation, Minister Ren proceeds to leave.

Luo Yuan walked him to the door and returned.

All of a sudden, Guo Zhiping became restless. He regretted having spoken so rudely to him and wished he could turn back the clock.

He was not an idiot. As a staff of the City Security Section, it was impossible for him not to know Minister Ren from the Municipal Organization. Considering the fact that Minister Ren had paid a visit bearing gifts, how could he be an ordinary evolved man?

In addition, Minister Ren sounded like the visit was arranged by his superior. They were afraid to be mistaken to be overreacting. If it were not so, they would have sent employees from higher positions to drop by. They were maintaining good relationships and it was totally beyond his expectations.

He felt uneasy as he recalled the words that he said. After a while, he said, ”Excuse me, I would need to excuse myself, as I have something to attend to later on.”

”Bye!” Luo Yuan answered coldly.

Guo Zhiping walked towards the exit awkwardly and he heard a snicker behind him. He looked towards the floor and strode out of the room, not wanting to stay a minute any longer.

”How rude!” Luo Yuan exclaimed.

”I did it on purpose. He looked virtuous and acted confidently, yet he was still one of the bullies,” said Wang Shishi upon seeing that Luo Yuan was not angry.

Luo Yuan laughed sarcastically. If he was acting rationally, it was impossible for him to be confident. He was merely a normal evolved man. He would still be afraid when facing the government officials.

”Let me see what Minister Ren brought over.” Wang Shishi unwrapped the gift and gushed in surprise, ”There are three bottles of level seven meat powder!'

”This is rare!” Luo Yuan frowned, as Hope City was indeed spoiling him silly. Even Luo Yuan had not seen this in the Reconstruction Area before. They could hardly ever hunt level seven creatures, and on the rare occasions that they could, the bounty would be divided among the military.

”Would the gift be too expensive to accept?” Zhao Yali asked.

”It’s still fine though. It’s only uncommon to see meat powder of this level.” Luo Yuan answered.

He had killed few of the level seven beasts and was not really interested in sticky and powdery substances like this. He personally would have preferred to eat seafood.

Wang Xiaguang was slightly disappointed seeing how Luo Yuan and the rest of them chatting happily. She felt like an outsider, ostracized from the group.

She brought Guo Zhiping along to use him against Luo Yuan, as a mere excuse to reject him, and was also trying to hint to Luo Yuan for the very last time. If Luo Yuan was still yet to make a move to declare his feelings for her, she was about to give up on this relationship.

Women were so eager to form a family after the apocalypse. She was under so much stress from the organization, the public and even from the blind date event organized by the government once in a month.

She was not young anymore and it was time for her to start a family.

Her face saddened and got up after sitting down for a moment. She simply gave an excuse and said, ”I'm going back now as I have a meeting later.”

”Let's have lunch together before you go head off.” Zhao Yali added.

”I'm in a hurry. I'll have my meal in the office.” Wang Xiaguang forced a smile, preparing to adjourn.
