Chapter 21 - Nangong Lanjiang (2/2)

Sima Ying who was still dazed did not even hear the loud announcement. It was only when Nangong Lanjiang called her that she broke away from her dazed state.

”Young lady Ying, would you allow me to accompany you in this table?” Nangong Lanjiang said elegantly.

Sima Ying did not even glanced at him and just nodded her head in response. But Nangong Lanjiang did not take it to heart and was instead happy that Sima Ying allowed him to accompany her.

Cale who was enjoying the scenery outside was unaware of the happenings inside the ballroom. He just continued staring at the desolate night sky, making his mood even more somber. The cold night winds of Macau made him recall a certain woman during his past life.

A cold and immortal-like face, cherry red lips, slim waist and long jade-like legs.

”Xia Qingyue.” Cale muttered softly, and the look on his face was full of nostalgia and deep loneliness.

Cale shook his head and sighed bitterly.

He then turned his head and focused it on Zero.

”Zero, investigate the Sima Family for me. As for Sima Ying.... nevermind. Just give me a detailed report about the Sima Family. You have one week to accomplish this mission.” Cale said solemnly while calming his heart which was still in turmoil.

”Yes sir Cale! I will get it done.” Zero answered and did the salute that Cale taught them by placing his right hand on his chest

Cale nodded his head and said ”You may go. Remember, your safety is top priority.”

Zero felt warm in his heart and bowed his head while doing their salute. He then jumped from the terrace of the building which was almost a hundred meters from the ground. Any normal human being would immediately die from the impact of the fall.

Cale looked down below, but he could no longer see the silhouette of Zero.

He smiled weakly and looked inside the grand ballroom.

He saw an aggressive-looking young man beside Sima Ying. He was smiling brightly as he continued talking about his achievements to her. Sima Ying who was tired of these boastful young masters just nodded her head from time to time.

She was not even listening to Nangong Lanjiang at all. She was still wondering at the question Cale asked her.

'How did he know that name?' She thought to herself.
