Translator: 549690339
“Why have the three of you come to see me?”Jiang Fei asked the three old men.
“You don’t know why the three of us are here?”asked the old man who was dressed luxuriously.
“Hehe, if I could do some calculations, the previous chaos would not have happened…”Jiang Fei said with a bitter smile.
“Alright! Whether you really don’t know or pretend not to know, let’s introduce ourselves!”The old man in gorgeous clothes sighed, then, he said to Jiang Fei, “We are members of the Elder Council. After a period of observation, we have confirmed that you are the current ruler of this world. Moreover, you do have the ability to manage this world.”
“Elder Council?”Jiang Fei continued to play dumb.
“Have you really never heard of it?”A poor old man beside him asked.
“I really have never heard of it!”Jiang Fei was clearly planning to play dumb until the end.
“Alright then. None of this is important. All you need to know is that we have already acknowledged you,”said the old man who was dressed luxuriously.
“Three old gentlemen, if you have something to say, just say it. I am not very interested in whether you have acknowledged it or not,”Jiang Fei said with a displeased expression. Although he had already confirmed the ident.i.ties of the three people.., he also knew the purpose of their visit. However, Jiang Fei still had to put on a show.
“Do you know about the Snow Beast?”The old man in gorgeous clothes did not keep Jiang Fei in suspense this time.
“I don’t know.”Jiang Fei continued to play dumb.
“That is a strange beast that concerns the life and death of our world,”said the old man in gorgeous clothes.
“Oh?”Jiang Fei showed some interest.
“It is the key to the smooth continuation of our world…”the old man then explained the origin and use of the snow beast to Jiang Fei. Although Jiang Fei already knew about it, he listened patiently, he was waiting for the old man to tell him the whereabouts of the snow beast.
“UH… Old Sir, are you serious?”Jiang Fei pretended to be in disbelief.
“Of course. I know that this is the first time you’ve heard about it. It might be difficult for you to accept it, but it’s the truth!”The old man said.
“Then I’ll believe you for now. But since you’ve asked me to look after the snow beast, where is it?”Jiang Fei asked the question that he was most concerned about.
“It’s in the Life Building!”The old man said.
“AH? !”Jiang Fei was stunned. He had almost turned the life building upside down. How could the Snow Beast Be There?
“Let us take you there,”said a poor old man.
“HMM… Alright!”Jiang Fei deliberately pondered for a moment and then nodded.
“Come with us!”The three old men turned around and left.
“Boss, are you going out?”Anita had been sent out by Jiang Fei previously, so she did not know what was being discussed inside.
“No need. I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon,”Jiang Fei said.
“Okay!”Anita nodded and continued to do her own things.
On the other hand, Jiang Fei followed the three old men all the way to the life building. As it was not far from the city hall, the journey did not take too long.
“Three of you, since you claim to be members of the Elder Council, I can understand this old man. But you two…”Jiang Fei looked at the two old men in tattered clothes and said in puzzlement.
“Hehe, as members of the Elder Council, we do not have to be rich. The purpose of our families is to help the ruler to find out the whereabouts of the snow beasts. At the same time, we can ensure that the news of the snow beasts does not spread out. For this, so what if we live as poor people for a few lifetimes?”Said a poor old man.
“Err…”Jiang Fei did not expect that these members of the Elder Council were people of Faith. For the sake of their own mission, they were willing to live in poverty for generations. Even so, they did not forget their own mission.
“Come to think of it, there are many touching people and things in this gamma s.p.a.ce…”Jiang Fei sighed in his heart. This way, he did not want to ma.s.sacre the entire place.
Soon, Jiang Fei and the others arrived at the life building. The Life Building was already half-abandoned. The security guards and the like had already run away. There was almost no one in the building.
“Let’s go up,”said a poor old man.
“The snow beast is not underground?”Jiang Fei was confused, but he did not show it on the surface.
“Three old men, can you do it?”Jiang Fei was a little suspicious of the three old men’s bodies. After all, the life building had dozens of floors. Now, due to the power failure, the elevator could not be used, therefore, they had to go up on foot.
“It’s fine. Let’s Go!”The three old men laughed.
“Alright then!”Jiang Fei nodded and followed the three old men up.
Although the three old men looked energetic, as the saying goes, old people do not rely on their muscles and bones. The three old men were all around seventy years old. A building with dozens of floors was really a challenge for them.
After more than ten floors, the luxuriously dressed old man could not take it anymore. He stopped and panted continuously.
“You… you guys go first… i… I’ll take a break…”said the luxuriously dressed old man.
“Alright! Old Man, let’s go first…”the two poor old men continued to lead Jiang Fei up the stairs.
Along the way, Jiang Fei and the other two took a break. As they continued to climb, the two poor old men could not take it anymore. Therefore, Jiang Fei and the others could only walk and rest for a while. When they reached the sub-top floor.., it was already five to six hours later.
“The snow beast is here?”Jiang Fei looked at the safety door that led to the sub-top floor. This was the office of the development team. Previously, he had confirmed with the leader of the development team. According to Prudonis, the snow beast was not here.
“Hehe, you’ll know when we get there!”A poor old man panted and said.
“Then how do we get in? The door is sealed,”said Jiang Fei. Previously, the only way to the top floor was by the elevator. The safety door was locked. Even Mr. Donner and himself, who were the head of the security department at the time, did not have the key.
“Open… open the door…”an old man handed over a key.
“Ah?”Jiang Fei was stunned. He did not expect the key to be in the hands of these people.
With the key, it was easy to open the door. When the lock of the safety door was opened, Jiang Fei pushed open the heavy door. The door was made of all alloy. After a foot and a half, there were more than ten locks inside, without the key, even an energy cannon would not be able to blast it open.
“Let’s Go!”The two poor old men led Jiang Fei all the way in. This time, there were no military police and security guards on the top floor. The three of them arrived inside very smoothly. The doors that could only be opened by swiping the card.., the two old men found the hidden keyhole and opened it with the key.
