Chapter 334: CRIMSON CORPS (2/2)

”I'm sorry but you can't talk to our leader without an appointment,” the NPC insisted again.

”Then could you just please tell him that we're here because we were sent by the husband of Finnea,” Luo Yan said still with a smile on his face. Then he removed the hood he was wearing, revealing his long white hair and pointed ears. ”You can also add that the one asking to meet him is a moon elf.”

He noticed a slight ripple in the eyes of the NPC when he said the name 'Finnea' and when he revealed that he's a moon elf. That could only mean that the members of this mercenary group were quite familiar with Finnea.

”Please, wait a while,” the NPC finally relented.

She walked back towards what seemed to be a telephone and dialed a number. ”Leader, there's a moon elf here asking to meet you… yes, he was talking about Finnea… okay… I understand. I'll ask someone to lead them to your office.”

Then she hung up the phone and walked back towards the desk.

”The Leader is willing to meet with you,” she said. ”Please, wait awhile while I ask someone to lead you to his office.”

Then she walked to the side and called another NPC. The male NPC she called then led them to the stairs. It seemed that this place didn't have an elevator. They continued to walk until they reached the fourth floor. The NPC led them towards the room at the very end of the corridor.

He knocked on the door. ”Leader, the guests are here!”

”Let them come in,” a gruff voice said inside.

The male NPC opened the door and gestured for Luo Yan and the others to go in. After they walked inside, the NPC respectfully closed the door.

What Luo Yan first saw was a messy office. There were piles of paper inside, piled one after another and some were even thrown on the floor. There were shelves full of books. And the whole room were filled with smoke. It almost looked like there was a fog inside the room.

The source of the smoke was the big man sitting behind the desk. He had shaggy brown hair and a pair of small glasses sitting atop his large nose. His whole face was also covered with a thick brown beard. He was biting on a black pipa where all the smoke was coming from. He looked like Santa, if Santa had brown hair and beard and looked like he hadn't had a bath for a month.

Luo Yan couldn't help but cough. Even though this was a virtual world, the feeling of inhaling smoke was quite real. And he didn't like it. He never did.

To his surprise, Shen Ji Yun suddenly stood in front of him. He took his sword from its scabbard and waved it down. It produced a strong gust of wind that completely parted all the smoke inside the room. Not letting it touched Luo Yan. Then he said in a cold voice to the leader of Crimson Corps;

”Extinguish that smoke or I'll do it for you.”
