Chapter 1358 - 1357: The Millionaire Gathering

"Isn't there Dr. Hayward? Anyway, I don't understand technology. If they dare to come, I'll dare to kill!"

Lin Fan shrugged indifferently and continued to take big bites of cake!

"Do you really trust Hayward that much? Aren't you worried he'll run off with your money?" the Queen asked curiously!

Lin Fan stuffed the cake into his mouth and then took a sip of coffee, saying, "Firstly, Hayward is wanted all over the U.S., and he barely escaped capture, so he wouldn't want to go back. If he dares to leave the lab, there's a high chance he'd get caught, so he's unlikely to take the risk right now!"

"Secondly, even though I'm willing to invest in Hayward, it doesn't mean I can wait a few years for you. At most two months, if he can't produce results for me, then he's worthless to me!"

"Alright then! Whatever you do, I will always support you!" The Queen smiled charmingly, exuding full allure!

"Let's eat. Food is iron, and hunger is steel; fill your belly first!"

Lin Fan laughed heartily and grabbed another piece of cake, stuffing it into his mouth!

However, just as Lin Fan finished sweeping away all the food on the table in a whirlwind fashion, a young man in a suit and tie walked into the cafe from outside, quickly heading towards Lin Fan upon seeing him!

Lin Fan saw this, his mind tensed and furrowed his brows. The impact left by robots was significant, and he worried it might be another robot!

But the young man's steps were lively, with no mechanical feel, so Lin Fan eased his vigilance a bit!

Soon, the young man reached Lin Fan, smiled politely, and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Fan?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Fan asked with a frown!

Abroad, not many know his real name, and this foreign young man immediately called him by it, raising Lin Fan's suspicions!

After confirming he hadn't made a mistake, the young man promptly took out an invitation card and handed it to Lin Fan!

The young man smiled and said, "Hello! Mr. Lin, this is an invitation my boss asked me to bring to you, hoping you can attend!"

"Invitation?"

Lin Fan curiously accepted the invitation, opened it, and saw a neat row of English letters, translated as: Inviting Mr. Lin Fan to a banquet of wealthy individuals tonight at nine o'clock, held at the top of the tallest building in Los Angeles, the Macken Group's rooftop!

The signature at the bottom was two letters: SL!

Lin Fan looked at this "SL" name, puzzled!

Everyone who knows Lin Fan's real name is someone Lin Fan roughly knows, but among all those acquaintances, there really isn't anyone whose name starts with the letters "SL"!

After thanking the young man, the latter then smiled and turned to leave!

The Queen looked at Lin Fan with curiosity and asked, "What kind of invitation is it?"

Lin Fan handed over the invitation to the Queen, who took a look at it and couldn't help but laugh, "When did you become a wealthy individual?"

"That's what I'm curious about too! If people from the Dark Realm rarely know my real name, if they were my friends, they'd directly call me. This SL, now that's intriguing!" Lin Fan was full of curiosity!

"Want to go?" the Queen asked!

"Of course! I'm quite eager to find out who this SL is. But since it's a gathering, it's only natural not to miss having a dance partner, great Queen, would you be willing to be my dance partner?" Lin Fan asked with a playful grin!

"I'd be honored!" the Queen chuckled softly!

Afterward, Lin Fan and the Queen finished their meal and then returned to the Queen's villa to rest for a day!

Time passed quickly, like a fleeting stream!

Night fell, and all of Los Angeles was brightly lit, truly one of the most prosperous cities in America!

The Macken Group is the wealthiest in Los Angeles and also a famous tycoon across America!

Lin Fan took the Queen's car and felt it stop at the base of the Macken Group building, towering several dozen stories high in front of them!

In the parking lot, various luxury cars filled the space. As Lin Fan and the Queen arrived, many wealthy individuals were also arriving, protected by a group of bodyguards into the building, flaunting their prestige!

Lin Fan and the Queen, however, remained carefree. Lin Fan walked inside with a cigarette hanging from his lips, heading to the elevator for the top floor!

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, just as the elevator doors were closing, there was a shout!

A hand quickly reached inside the elevator, reopening the door!

Then, accompanied by four black-suited bodyguards, a blond young man elegantly walked towards the elevator!

"Sorry for the inconvenience!"

The young man entered the elevator and politely apologized to Lin Fan and the Queen!

However, when his gaze fell on the Queen, a flash of admiration instantly appeared in his eyes!

Indeed, the Queen was very beautiful!

Her tall figure, not an ounce of excess, perfectly curvaceous!

Though her skin wasn't extremely fair, her features were extremely delicate, especially her sapphire-like eyes that dazzled with captivating brilliance!

The Queen's beauty was different from that of Su Yanyu and others. Her beauty exuded a wild allure, stirring a deep, unconscious desire to conquer within one's heart!

Upon noticing the young man's gaze, the Queen didn't mind. To her, any man, no matter how wealthy or handsome, held no attraction; her heart belonged solely to Lin Fan!

Just like what the Queen said when she first met Lin Fan: We are fated!

Yet, the young man seemingly didn't give up and suddenly said with a laugh, "Miss, haven't we met somewhere before? You look very familiar!"

"Your flirting style is outdated?" the Queen replied lazily!

The young man persisted, pulling a business card from his pocket and handed it to the Queen, saying with a smile, "Miss, this is my business card. The chairman of Macken Group, Mr. Macken, is my father, and my name is Mike!"

While speaking, Mike cockily raised his head!

In his mind, women are materialistic; by revealing his identity, there's no way a woman wouldn't throw herself at him, and indeed, this tactic had won him many women in the past!

Unfortunately, the Queen was not an ordinary woman!

The Queen didn't even reach for Mike's business card, crossing her arms over her chest, pushing up her proud bosom, like two towering peaks!

Seeing this, Mike's eyes showed unmistakable greed, fantasizing about conquering her, caring not for her cold demeanor!

The colder a woman is, the more thrilling it would be to conquer her!

"This business gathering has my father as one of the hosts, featuring many wealthy individuals. If the miss would like, I can introduce all of them to you, while some... In a public place like this, smoking is low-class; it's puzzling how such uncultured people even received an invitation!"

As Mike spoke, he disdainfully glanced at Lin Fan!
