No wonder Carlo treated him with so much respect.
Carlo looked at Qin Ran again and said a few words to the Xu family members before leaving with Bo Te to the first district.
“Mr. Bo Te?” As the two walked towards the entrance, Bo Te stopped. Carlo looked up at him.
Bo Te’s gaze turned towards the people behind him. He had a pair of dark, cold eyes. Faint blood vessels were visible in them.
As his gaze reached the Xu family members, they took a step back unconsciously.
Bo Te’s gaze stopped at a woman in the crowd. That woman looked cool but did not have a ruthless aura.
His thick eyebrows twitched slightly. He shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. I was mistaken.”
With that, he went in with Carlo.
Those remaining outside were largely the Xu family members.
Was he really the Underground Champion?
Second Uncle Xu and the other family members were shocked and turned to Qin Ran subconsciously.
In their minds, they had the same question—
How did she know?
While the others were shocked, Cheng Mu’s expression remained the same. He lifted the suitcases and admired Bo Te. “No wonder he’s a champion. He must be very powerful.”
Last year, he had heard Qin Ran and Shi Liming talk about the Arena.
But… Qin Ran did not allow him to go.
Qin Ran was very familiar with the Arena. Thus, Cheng Mu wasn’t shocked that she could recognize Bo Te today.
He deeply admired Bo Te, as he understood that those who fought in the Arena weren’t scared of death or sought revenge. Being crowned the champion, Cheng Mu found it deeply admirable.
After all…
Even Shi Liming didn’t dare to fight in the deathmatch.
Xu Yaoguang saw that Cheng Mu’s expression remained the same. He couldn’t help but pause and take another look at him and Qin Ran.
“Young Master Xu, follow me.” After Carlo left, the guards brought Xu Yaoguang and the others to the third district.
The Xu family was under the Mas family. Other than these top forces in Continent M, there were ordinary people as well.
To them, the Xu family had the same status as Carlo.
…
The Mas family’s territory was very big.
Xu Yaoguang and the rest lived in a three-story house with ten rooms.
Qin Ran stayed in the innermost room on the third level, and Cheng Mu stayed in the room beside her. Xu Yaoguang stayed beside Cheng Mu.
Cheng Mu scanned the room. The room was ordinary without much decoration.
He moved the flower vase and checked the room again before leaving.
Qin Ran slept the entire day.
At 5 pm, Cheng Mu woke her up for dinner.
The house was air-conditioned. Qin Ran put on a coat and went out casually.
“Master Juan called me in the afternoon. Miss Qin, do you want to call him back?” Cheng Mu followed behind her holding his cell phone.
“Got it.” Qin Ran rolled up her right sleeves and indifferently replied.
Downstairs.
Xu Yaoguang and Second Uncle Xu did not sleep and followed Carlo around the base.
“What’s she doing?” One of the Xu family’s representatives looked upstairs and frowned.
“I heard from Cheng Mu that she was sleeping.” Second Uncle Xu also looked up. “This is good. She’s clever.”
Qin Ran wasn’t an ordinary person and had achieved outstanding results at the Research Institute.
Her identity was very unique too.
The Xu family members were jealous of her, or else they would not have tried to stop Elder Xu from sending Qin Ran to Continent M.
She was clever to avoid getting involved in the Xu family’s matters.
“Mr. Bo Te must achieve a good ranking this time around…” Qin Ran and Cheng Mu came downstairs as Second Uncle Xu was speaking.
He immediately stopped talking.
It was obvious that he wanted to avoid Qin Ran and Cheng Mu.
Qin Ran did not ask anything. She was clear of the reason Principal Xu allowed her to come along to Continent M. He wanted her to establish her prestige with some of the Xu family members.
It was painstaking.
Qin Ran sat on the seat while thinking of another matter.
Xu Yaoguang, sitting opposite her, exchanged looks with Second Uncle Xu and said, “The allocation was done by the forces in the West of the international center. I’m not entirely sure of the details.”
Xu Yaoguang didn’t fully understand the forces in Continent M.
He didn’t know who were the forces present in the West of Continent M.
He told Qin Ran the purpose of their visit. The area that they were fighting for would be allocated to the Xu family.
Pausing, she lifted her head to look at Xu Yaoguang.
The forces in the West…
No wonder Cheng Juan rushed back to Continent M. As he was settling the matters with the Underground Alliance, he might also be involved in this.
She withdrew her gaze and did not speak again.
After finishing her meal, Qin Ran immediately went up with her phone.
Second Uncle Xu and the others exchanged glances. When Xu Yaoguang reached the study, they asked, “Young Master Xu, what did you say to her? I feel that… she’s not ordinary.”
Xu Yaoguang looked out of the window. It was almost 6 pm and the sun was setting.
“Grandfather won’t be wrong regarding who he chooses to trust.” Xu Yaoguang turned to his side and lowered his eyes.
Second Uncle Xu frowned. “Don’t you think it’s strange? She’s a domestic student, how did she recognize Bo Te immediately? We also asked Carlo this afternoon and he confirmed that ordinary people wouldn’t know about Bo Te. Young Master Xu, she’s… not simple. She was too calm when she talked about the Underground Champion.”
