Chapter 997 - Intersection of Past, Present, and Future (2) (2/2)
“Everyone, should I say ‘long time no see’ or ‘nice to meet you for the first time’?”
“Long time no see, Mr. Rhode.”
The man seated on the leftmost, looking almost 30 years of age, said with a smile. He pushed up his gold framed glasses lightly. Sitting beside him was a woman of around 27 years old. She wore professional work attire and a kind, genuine smile was plastered across her gentle face. Although she simply sat there, one could feel as though she was constantly gleaming in rays of light. On the other side, there was a pair of sisters. They seemed about the same age as Canary, but were also clad in the uniform of B&M Company.
Rhode was familiar with the four of them. Every player of Dragon Soul Continent knew who they were, as well as the history of B&M Company. It was especially so after this holographic, virtual-reality game exploded in popularity around the world where third-rate news companies had even uncovered their three generations of ancestors. Of course, this was only an exaggeration and it was a pity that the paparazzi weren’t experienced enough because Rhode couldn’t remember reading a rumor about ‘B&M Company CEO and President were transmigrators from another world’.
As the top player, Rhode often participated in company events organized by the B&M Company, where he interacted with many employees. The man sitting on the leftmost, Arthur, was the CEO. The woman beside him was the President, Serena. The pair of sisters were the rumored genius engineers. The elder sister was Ningmi and the younger sister was Ningjing. All of them came from different countries, had unique identities, and eventually arrived at the same path in building this game that became globally popular. Even though Rhode knew that they were remarkable people, it seemed like now… They seemed more marvelous than he imagined.
“Alright then, I suppose we should introduce ourselves?”
“Of course.”
Arthur smiled in response to Rhode’s question. Then, he tidied the streaks in his suit and continued.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the Dark Dragon, Arthur.”
“I’m surprised. I expected the Dark Dragon to be more of a solemn character behind the scenes.”
Rhode said, twitching his brow. He was serious when he said it, especially after recalling Ion’s indifferent face while looking at this smiley and friendly Dark Dragon before him. He felt like the contrast was too huge. Arthur didn’t respond to Rhode’s remarks. He simply maintained his smile and shortly after, Serena introduced herself.
“I’m the Light Dragon, Serena. I’m delighted to meet you again, Mr. Rhode.”
This Light Dragon sure lives up to its name…
Rhode gazed at Serena and compared to Lilian in his mind. He discovered that Serena and Lilian were somewhat similar. They had a similar aura of light glowing around them. But unlike Lilian’s, Serena’s was much more steady and perfect as she completely made up the areas Lilian lacked. Rhode even felt like Serena was rather dazzling. But that was only for an instant. He quickly shifted his gaze to the remaining sisters. Upon sensing his gaze, they chuckled and waved their hands at him.
“Greetings, Mr. Rhode. I’m the Judgment Dragon, Ferlyn.”
“Greetings, Mr. Rhode. I’m the Ruling Dragon, Jess.”
How interesting.
Upon meeting the sisters, Rhode immediately recalled Gracier and Madaras. If they could speak, perhaps they would be similar to this pair of sisters. But these two… Could it be that they had been living in the secular world for too long? They didn’t seem like Creator Dragons. Instead, they seemed more like two superstars holding an autograph session with the fans.
“Greetings. Everyone, I suppose you’re aware that I’m the current Void Dragon, Rhode.”
Rhode stopped fiddling with the can of cola and let loose of the can in his hands. Then, he lifted his head and gazed at the four of them.
“Now that we’re done greeting one another, I suppose we can get into the main topic now. I think we have some questions to answer,” Rhode said.
