455 Xiaobo’s Arrival (2/2)
”I guess so.” The Heavenly Federation was huge; Chen Mu knew it would be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
”If she's in the Heavenly Federation, it's possible for us to whip up a plan.” Qiu Shanyu was confident. ”Since you're a card master, producing a fantasy card ad should be a piece of cake, right?”
”A fantasy card ad?” Chen Mu hesitated. That term seemed rather far-fetched even though he had no idea what sort of plan she was up to, but he still nodded. ”Yes. That's not a problem.”
”That makes things simpler, then. All you need to do is turn the Green Mark on your wrist into a fantasy card ad. Then, we air it throughout the entire Heavenly Federation. If she really is still within the borders of the federation, there's a high chance she would see the ad. Then, include the time and venue of the meeting in the ad…”
Chen Mu walked out of the training room, still turning over her idea in his mind. Her idea might just be their best shot. If the demonic woman was still within the federation, Chen Mu was sure he could find her through Qiu Shanyu's method. Qiu Shanyu had made clear of the pros and cons, however. First off, a large sum of cash was needed to get things running. To air the ad throughout the whole federation, the fee was insane. Even she couldn't estimate the total amount.
To top that off, not many people would recognize the Green Mark, but someone in the Big Six could. The ad would definitely attract people's attention. Therefore, the possibility of them being traced would also increase.
”Good morning, White Commander.” Xu Jia smiled as she stood in front of Chen Mu.
Chen Mu was pulled out of his thoughts as he quickly greeted her. ”Good morning, Miss Xu.”
”I heard the White Commander invited a beautiful woman over last night. No wonder you seem distracted this morning,” Xu Jia replied with a smile. Chen Mu could sense a cold chill, though.
The employees that passed by stole weird glances before hurrying off. Chen Mu was able to sense that Xu Jia wasn't in a pleasant mood, but he felt it was unreasonable for her to be displeased. He wasn't her subordinate; hence, he didn't have to please her.
”How can I help you, Miss Xu?” He was rushing for time and didn't beat around the bush.
Xu Jia choked. She would be lying if she said she wasn't mad. She had called the White Commander so many times that her communication card had exploded. The White Commander was the one responsible in her mind, but he didn't know a thing. She knew she was in no position to blame him.
”Nothing. Please go ahead, White Commander.” Xu Jia, who had been smiling moments ago, was stupefied on the spot. After a few seconds, she forced a smile and shifted to the side to make way. Chen Mu disappeared just as she finished her sentence, which made her terribly mad.
Chen Mu was rather anxious because Xiaobo had just arrived in Dongrui and had finally contacted him.
The high-speed flight elevated Chen Mu's mood. Honestly speaking, he had been rather surprised when Xiaobo had voluntarily offered to help him. He had obviously been unwilling when Chen Mu had first tried to recruit him. Nevertheless, Xiaobo had agreed in the end because he couldn't resist the temptation of the Wheel. It was unexpected of him to willingly travel so far just to help Chen Mu.
Xiaobo had still been in his retreat when Chen Mu had left the base. Now that he was out, Chen Mu wondered how much he had improved! Chen Mu had told Wei-ah to keep an eye on Qiu Shanyu in Wei-ah's training room before rushing off.
Chen Mu landed at the entrance of Grand Hotel Abinia after flying for approximately ten minutes. Xiaobo was still so full of himself; he stood like a javelin at the entrance of the hotel and flashed a lazy smile. He had long white hair and wore a coat and boots. The most striking thing was the faintly glowing halo floating ten meters behind him. It was one meter wide, and light was extended from the center of the halo to its edge. The light slowly swept across the torus of the ring repeatedly, like a hand around a clock.
Xiaobo instantly recognized Chen Mu even though he wore a mask.
”Boss, your taste in fashion is horrible, as always! That mask is hideous!” Xiaobo sneered with a hint of cynicism.
”When did you arrive?” Chen Mu asked as he tried to suppress his excitement.
”Hmm. I've just arrived today.” He grinned and stretched his back lazily. ”Boss, I heard you had a good fight here! Tsk, tsk. I've been eyeing rank 50 on the Black-Line Star Listing for a while now.”
