"What, it's you!?"
Lunet was extremely shocked and retreated several steps back!
However, as soon as she saw the sly smile on Adohi's face, everything became clear. "Well played, Adohi, daring to deceive me and even trying to flirt with me, you're asking for trouble!"
In a fit of rage, Lunet completely lost her cool and was about to pull out her gun to shoot Adohi!
"Miss, don't be impulsive!"
Her female assistant was startled and quickly held back Lunet's hand that was reaching for the gun!
Adohi spread his hands, chuckling, "Forget it, if you don't want to believe, then go investigate for yourself!"
Leaving these words behind, Adohi turned around and walked away.
After walking a few dozen meters, he paused, turned his head, and said, "Lunet, although you've successfully broken through in your cultivation, the great danger still looms over you. Be careful these next few days!"
"What? Big danger... Adohi, you scoundrel!"
Lunet, thinking Adohi was deliberately teasing her, became furiously agitated, her chest heaving impressively!
"Majestic waves, truly magnificent..."
Unable to hold back, Adohi burst into laughter, feeling extremely pleased!
"Scoundrel, filthy rogue..."
Watching Adohi's departing figure, Lunet's face flushed with anger. "Adohi, you'll eventually tell me the truth, I swear!"
After being provoked by Adohi, Lunet became even more eager to find out who the mystic was!
Calming down, she suddenly remembered what Adohi had just said!
"Isn't Adohi just a country bumpkin? How could he notice the breakthrough in my cultivation?"
Upon further thought, Lunet began to realize that Adohi might indeed possess some real skills!
...
After traveling some distance, Adohi received a message: "Young master, some old men from the Jefferton Chamber of Commerce know you've come to Sunshine Town and are begging to meet you for a drink!
"Fine, they're in luck today!"
Adohi, in a very good mood and with nothing else to do, accepted the invitation!
He guessed it was arranged by his nine old disciples, wanting their forces to take the utmost care of him!
"My nine old disciples really do care for me!"
Adohi laughed heartily and set off immediately!
Coincidentally, Ceren also called at this time, "Adohi, some of my friends and besties want to meet you. Got the guts to come?"
Ceren's words were full of provocation!
Adohi couldn't help but laugh!
"Clever Ceren, trying to set a trap for me, huh!"
"Alright!"
Adohi, curious about Ceren's schemes, replied with a smile, "I'm a bit busy now, see you in an hour!"
"Hah! Didn't expect you to be so brave!"
Ceren, surprised by Adohi's straightforward agreement, added before ending the call, "Be there or be a coward!"
After ending the call.
In a luxurious winery hall named 'Athena', Ceren smiled triumphantly, "He'll be here in an hour. We must make him regret it!"
Two scantily clad beauties beside her were extremely excited, "A country bumpkin, does he even know his place? Mr. Graham, make sure to teach him a harsh lesson later!"
Hosea Graham, sitting opposite the beauties and long admiring Ceren, felt his chance to impress her had come!
"Ceren, don't worry, he's just a country bumpkin, I can handle him in minutes!"
"In terms of looks, I'm known as the Sunshine Town Adonis!"
"In terms of background, I'm the young master of a second-tier family in Sunshine Town!"
"I'll make that country bumpkin feel so ashamed, he'll leave your place disgraced..."
However, a friend named Jovie Yates expressed concern, "Ceren, let's not go too far, it could crush his spirit completely!"
"No worries!"
Ceren, annoyed, said, "Adohi's skin is thicker than a city wall, he won't be disheartened! Tonight, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Meanwhile.
At the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce branch in Sunshine Town, on the top floor of the Zanarkand Building in the central business district.
As the most powerful alliance in the southern district, the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce stood in an extraordinary and unshakeable position!
In particular, the Yates family, led by Chairman Iniko Yates, had made significant contributions to the nation in its time of need!
Later, as the nation overcame its difficulties, the Yates family was rewarded and became the envy of numerous top-tier families!
Therefore, members of the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce had strong backgrounds and extensive networks!
To join the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce, three conditions must be met:
First, assets must exceed a hundred billion.
Second, the group must have completed or be undertaking major public infrastructure projects, truly serving the nation and its people.
Third, one must have a high-ranking member's recommendation and undergo thorough vetting by the Yates family.
Even the wealthiest family in Sunshine Town, the Willow family, didn't yet qualify to join the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce!
At that moment, in the chamber's top-floor office.
"Great news, young master Adohi has agreed to meet us!"
Iniko, the chairman of the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce, along with eight elder members, were thrilled beyond measure!
Since they heard Adohi was in Sunshine Town, they had dropped everything and rushed from all over the world to meet him!
"He's here!"
Twenty minutes later, the butler hurried in, his face alight with joy, "Master, young master Ye has arrived!"
"Hurry and follow me to welcome him; we must not neglect the young master! He is our master after all!"
Iniko, overwhelmed with excitement, leads a group of elders personally to greet the guest!
Over five hundred bodyguards swiftly mobilized, controlling dozens of intersections near the Chamber of Commerce's building, creating an impressively exaggerated scene!
"Old men, I have arrived!"
Adohi entered with a hearty laugh and a free-spirited stride!
"Master!"
Iniko hurried forward and took Adohi's hand affectionately, "We've been waiting for you! Let's have a drink and catch up!"
Surrounded by Iniko and others, Adohi went to a lavishly decorated reception room, where he drank and chatted merrily with friends much older than himself.
Despite the generational gap, Adohi's free-spirited and easygoing nature allowed him to treat these older men as his peers.
This reunion of old friends was joyous, and everyone admired Adohi's genuine character!
However, the massive scene orchestrated by the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce quickly became a hot topic in Sunshine Town!
Many people in Sunshine Town were aware of the arrival of a high-profile figure, some even speculated it's the female War Goddess Lunet!
There, Iniko, the president of the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce, personally arrived in Sunshine Town to wait and receive guests!
Such a special intersection of two worlds was truly enviable!
Especially for the major local groups in Sunshine Town, their desire to join the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce became even more urgent!
They all wanted to elevate their groups and lives to an awe-inspiring height!
Ceren, looking at her phone news, was filled with envy, "If only my Lindsey Family could join the Zanarkand Chamber of Commerce..."
But the Lindsey Family couldn't even touch the threshold.
Almost an hour passed.
Adohi and the group of older men were thoroughly enjoying their drinks when Ceren called, "Adohi, an hour is almost up. Are you scared and not daring to come? It's okay, just admit you're a coward!"
Ceren's tone was full of mockery, and the giggles of her girlfriends were audible on the other end of the line.
Adohi, hearing the disdain and laughter, thought to himself, "Ceren just wants to show me down and make me submit to her, but I must not let her succeed!"
With that in mind, he replied to Ceren, "You're going to be disappointed. Just wait!"
He hung up and looked at Iniko, "I need a suit and a watch, and a car that suits my temperament. A supercar!"
"No problem at all!"
Iniko immediately got up to make arrangements for Adohi.
A few minutes later.
A flashy supercar, with its incredibly powerful engine, arrived at the Athenaeum Vineyard!
