Chapter 170: Accompaniment

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Linan had been patiently waiting for Ye Chong’s reappearance on the Black Coves back then. He spent every single coin Ye Chong had left in his pocket soon after and inevitably he had to find a living on his own somewhere in this black market. Fortunately many of the wealthy merchants frequented the exterior of the Black Coves and Bai Linan, as quick-witted as he was, got the heart of the merchants. Well, he was eventually a strategist, one who was familiar with buttering-up and providing services to the superiors. It did not take long before Bai Linan won over the head of the Sylvia Group, Mr. Robert. He gained Mr. Robert’s trust gradually and became the butler at his place. He aimed the right merchant since Sylvia Group was a major spaceship production group.

Mr. Robert fancied the entertainment on the Black Coves a lot and Bai Linan, being his man, had been visiting the place regularly.

Well, he met his lord, the meaning of his soul after much detour, once again.

”My lord, so you’re heading…,” inquired Bai Linan.

”Windstar,” concisely Ye Chong replied.

”Ah? Really? Great! Wise people sure think alike, my lord! We are heading the same way!” Bai Linan was surprised. ”My men and I do intend to go Windstar from the beginning!” Although having no idea why Ye Chong wanted to go to Windstar, the witty willow guy did not ask. At least he was very sure that Ye Chong could never be going there for sightseeing, even if Windstar was known for its tourism.

”My lord, my master, my…” Bai Linan haltered out a few words, ”How about...” Ye Chong’s gaze intensified, ”Hahahaha…” As forced by the terrifying gaze, he spat everything, ”My lord, what I mean is… how about we… we walk together?” He regretted his words the very second he uttered them. Droplets of sweats rolled down his back for some reason. Why am I this nervous? I am this nervous only when I’m meeting authorities like Mr. Robert…

He had witnessed Ye Chong’s mighty capability in combats before. So his safety would be absolutely guaranteed as long as he walked with Ye Chong by his side. Well, if it was not some accidents before, his safety would be extra guaranteed by taking private transport.

He was well-aware that his lord Ye Chong was not fond of the buzzes around him. So he was not confident of his suggestion of accompaniment.

The catch was, Ye Chong nodded his head, ”Okay,” calmly his word went.

”So you agreed, my lord?” Bai Linan’s eyes enlarged, as if he misheard something.

”Yeah,” Ye Chong nodded once again.

The next few minutes, Bai Linan was still under the stunning spell of Ye Chong’s reply. He could not believe his ears as he did expect Ye Chong reacting coldly and turning down his offer. That would be more of a Ye Chong behavior.

Ye Chong did not simply accept the offer, he had his own thoughts too. Staying with Bai Linan meant a kind of camouflage to his identity. He seriously needed camouflages these days especially after the raid of the Black Coves on Blue Ocean planet back then where they made a total seize of transpiration through medias and laws. The way of how effortlessly Black Coves took over the entire governmental system with one move convinced Ye Chong the lesson that any man, even with the mightiest strength, would become minuscule and helpless in front of the majority.

Ye Chong followed Bai Linan.

”My lord, please stay here for the moment. This is my room. No worries, no one would disturb you.” Bai Linan escorted Ye Chong to his room.

Ye Chong viewed the room. It was a pretty majestic room. The floor carpeted with the skin of the organic lifeforms in scarlet, dimly lit by the yellowish lamp. The extravagant style made Ye Chong frowned and glanced at Bai Linan. How I never knew Bai Linan was such a … ”Uh!” Blushed Bai Linan upon Ye Chong’s glance, as he coughed briefly and spoke, ”This was just some acting, basic acting, camouflage you know? Can’t help it.”

Ye Chong did not comment on his reasoning as he shifted his stare away. Bai Linan was a bit embarrassed.

”My lord, you would be addressed as my bodyguard, is that fine?” asked Bai Linan carefully.

Ye Chong signaled approvingly. It did not matter to him. Bodyguard… the title reminded him of Gu Shaoze and his blonde bodyguard Number 2. He knew that Bai Linan could never treat him as a real bodyguard, though he would most likely take action if he saw Bai Linan in danger.

Bai Linan was relieved seeing how Ye Chong did not seem to have an objection. He did have a tiny scheme in mind but he could not inform his head regarding Ye Chong’s existence. He understood their personalities. His head would never let go of a talent like Ye Chong while Ye Chong was never the kind who would bow before someone. Oh the contrast… it was frightening for him to imagine both parties having conflict.

”Take a seat, my lord, take a seat,” pleaded Bai Linan. Ye Chong sat. The fluffy couch nearly engulfed him, which was a bit distressing to his unfamiliarity. Such fluffiness he could not exert force on would easily lead him to a helpless situation on an emergency for not being able to react quickly and properly.

”Ah Duan, go bring Tie Wu,” grabbed a communicator, Bai Linan ordered.

Not too long later, the screen at the side of the door displayed visual of a man who spoke courteously, ”Boss, I had brought you Tie Wu.” Soon after the last syllable he spoke, the door opened automatically.

Two suited bulky men stepped into the room together.

Ye Chong raised his brows slightly, he recognized one man with his right arm bandaged, that was actually the man he nearly crippled at the restaurant, yes, the leader of the hulks.

”Boss, I present you, Tie Wu,” spoke Ah Duan politely.

”Oh,” responded Bai Linan, his expression was indiscernible under the dim yellow light. Ye Chong on the other hand was watching Bai Linan to put up his show.

”Tie Wu…,” flatly Bai Linan spoke.

”Boss!” The fearsome-looking Tie Wu was acting like a sweet little lamb in front of Bai Linan.

”Umm, Tie Wu my man, this guy beside me, is actually a friend of mine. It’s just some misunderstanding… Well, why don’t we let this go? How do you think?” Bai Linan’s tone was more like a discussion than an order.
