Chapter 11: A Mysterious Man in a Black Robe (1/2)
Translator: Dragon Rider
Outside Xinchen Mansion.
He Jin mysteriously pushed the door of a box slightly open, knocked three times, waited for ten seconds and then knocked for the fourth time.
As the fourth knock died away, the door was opened. He Jin wasn't afraid at all. He closed the door behind him and walked deeper into the box.
This was a private box with beautiful interior decoration. Anybody could tell that it was unaffordable to Everyman. The look on He Jin's face was somewhat uneasy. In the knowledge that that man would soon arrive, he managed to subdue his impatience and sat down on a sofa opposite which there was a chair.
After a while, a gust of wind blew into the box. He Jin couldn't help but raise his hand to shelter his eyes from it. When he lowered his arm, he observed that a man enwrapped in a black robe had materialized out of thin air sitting on the chair.
He Jin lowered his head, afraid to look at the man. In an unnoticeably quivering voice, he said, ”You came.”
Were anybody here to see He Jin's attitude, he or she would definitely be amazed. Though not as domineering as He Zheng, He Jin was never a man of modesty. In fact, he had always been arrogant and bossy. Surprisingly, he was now acting so humbly and obediently in front of such an eccentric man.
”Someone killed that Dream Eater.” He Jin made this remark almost through gritted teeth, because the death of the Dream Eater always evoked his memories of those insulting remarks that he heard at the doorway of the box on that day!
”Yeah.” He Jin had thought that the reason why the man was wearing a hood was because his face was revolting. However, to his surprise, the man's voice was very pleasant to hear, as melodious as the most touching music in the world. ”I've already known it.”
He Jin heavily smacked his fist onto the sofa. ”How come that good-for-nothing escaped from the Dream Eater you transformed?”
”Someone intervened,” the man interrupted him.
Taken aback, He Jin raised his head in astonishment. ”Was it by any chance those busybodies of Zhu family who ruined our plan?”
