Chapter 133: See You Again
Chen Ran couldn’t believe his eyes, and neither could the painter beside him.
Like a storm, the mysterious woman had charged into the center of the crowd with an incredible sprint. Then, streaks of holy white light, like chains, began to spin around her, dancing in the dark night. Her existence, like the eye of a storm, began to spin at high speed. The entire crowd was involuntarily lifted into the air by a powerful force of light.
More than fifty people, their bodies floated uncontrollably, their toes off the ground, spinning in the streaks of light that were like nooses. She spun quickly, and the group of people spun even more fiercely, like a top, faster and higher. They finally stopped at the sound of a sharp cry. The mysterious woman retracted her foot, ending her spinning and throwing posture, and everyone was spectacularly thrown away.
Like a rain of human flesh bullets, no one among the more than fifty people was spared. Whether it was the dizziness from the spinning or the heavy fall from a high altitude, either one was enough to make a person suffer.
With just one blow, the invincible enemies of Chen Ran and the painter were so easily dealt with.
After dealing with a series of enemies, the mysterious woman turned around and walked toward Chen Ran and the painter.
The mysterious woman’s natural, powerful aura made Chen Ran and the painter stand in awe. Although she said nothing, her cold temperament, her invincible aura, seemed to be born to mock the two shameless, self-proclaimed genius men.
“Ahem, the moonlight is nice tonight…” The atmosphere was a little awkward. Chen Ran couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
“Yeah,” the painter looked up, looking at the dark clouds in the night sky, and also spoke nonsense.
The mysterious woman chose to ignore the shamelessness of the two and said goodbye, “I’m full, and I have things to do. I’ll take my leave now.” Her actions were extremely brisk, and she left as soon as she said so.
“Wait,” just as she was about to turn around, Chen Ran couldn’t help but stop her.
The cloaked woman paused and asked, “Is there anything else?”
A bag flew toward the cloaked woman. She caught it and found that it was a money bag, and it was quite heavy.
“When you’re out and about, you’ll always run into difficulties. Good people are not always easy to meet,” Chen Ran waved his hand. “We met by chance. I hope we can meet again next time. If you run into any enemies you can’t deal with, you can come and find me. We may be facing the same enemy. There’s a contact method in the money bag. As for the money in this bag, you can pay me back when you have time. You don’t look like the kind of person who can’t pay it back.”
“Then thank you,” the mysterious woman did not hesitate. After taking the bag, she left on her own, leaving only an intriguing back for the two of them.
For a moment, only Chen Ran and the painter were left.
The painter patted Chen Ran’s shoulder and said, “You’re not honest, kid. You still want that beautiful woman to come back and find you. I wonder what ulterior secret you have.”
“You’re overthinking things. I’m a proper person,” Chen Ran said righteously. “Besides, I haven’t even seen her face, and I don’t even know her name. What ideas can I have? I’m not as imaginative as you.” At this, Chen Ran’s tone was a little wistful. “I just feel that this friend is very interesting. I hope I can meet her again next time.”
Chen Ran glanced at the painter and said, “You too. I don’t know your name, brother. It’s not in vain that we fought together and bragged today.”
The painter smiled mysteriously. “From the looks of you, you seem to be planning to stay in Diya City for a while. I think we should have a chance to meet again. You’ll naturally know my name next time, and I’ll know yours. Life should always have some expectations, shouldn’t it?” The painter patted Chen Ran’s arm. “Alright, it’s getting late. I should go too. Thank you for your treat, friend. See you next time.”
Chen Ran also smiled and waved his hand. “Friend, see you next time.”
Watching the painter pick up his easel and walk away, this lively night suddenly became much quieter, and only Chen Ran was left alone.
Life was the same, always with gatherings and partings, full of unknowns.
Looking at the messy barbecue stall and the sad-faced owner, Chen Ran generously threw down a dozen or so gold coins.
“Boss, don’t look so sad. Business is not easy. I’ll take responsibility for the losses tonight. People should live a little happier.”
Amidst the barbecue stall owner’s continuous thanks, Chen Ran also left.
He returned to the hotel.
For Chen Ran, this night was not wasted. He had relaxed his mood and had also met two interesting people. He felt it was quite worth it. He even had a premonition that the mysterious woman in the cloak would very likely come to find him. Dealing with a huge organization like the Dark Holy Court was not something a girl could easily handle. Although her combat power was very strong, he estimated that her strength was at most at the seventh tier.
At the same time, he also thought of the actions of the hoodlums before and faintly sensed something.
This area was all under Leif’s sphere of influence. Logically, it should be very stable. But for a group of guys who were fighting for territory to appear, it was clear that there were some small problems over there. He thought that Leif should have news soon.
And with the agreement with Mihawk, he was a little confident. That guy’s energy was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He just didn’t know how much effort he would put in next. Next, if he could find a few more trustworthy allies, he should be able to block the opponent’s surging tide.
Recalling the crown prince that the painter had mentioned before, Chen Ran suddenly had some ideas.
Dealing with ordinary people was very tiring, and the effect was not as good as he had imagined. But if he could get on the official line, it would definitely have a multiplier effect on his future actions.
Everyone has their likes and dislikes, and their weaknesses. Everyone can be catered to. If there was a chance, Chen Ran would naturally not miss any of the best shortcuts. He would also take the opportunity to inquire about Crown Prince Sayven tomorrow.
Just at this moment, he suddenly found that there was someone in the room.
However, the familiar fluctuation should be Eva, without a doubt. He hadn’t expected this girl to be here. He didn’t know what her intentions were.
Sure enough, hearing the sound of Chen Ran entering the door, a series of hurried footsteps came from the inner room. Eva, with a playful side ponytail, appeared in Chen Ran’s field of vision. Tonight, in a pink, one-piece short dress, she looked exceptionally delicate and lovely.
“My dear, you’re back.”
A warm hug from the front, full of thoughtfulness and care.
“Why are you here?” Chen Ran asked.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Of course I miss you,” Eva said, pouting and acting coquettishly, which was exceptionally endearing. “Don’t you miss me?”
Hearing this, Chen Ran was struck by lightning.
In the beginning, the hint Chen Ran had given Eva with the spiritual crystal was that she was his maid, so Eva’s actions were all according to his words. But after coming here, Chen Ran had hinted to Eva that she was his girlfriend, and she had also become much more human. Her behavior was like that of a normal girl in love.
