Log in to get LK and view more chapters.Within ten minutes, Evelyn appeared at the elevator on the first floor, flanked by two bodyguards dressed in sharp black suits.
The affluent businessmen who had been lounging on the sofas all stood up upon seeing Evelyn Taylor.
“Miss Taylor, I’m Mark from Henderson Realty. I agree to sell my company to WillEve Group.”
“Miss Taylor, I was here first. I’m Leo from Elephant Streaming, and I also agree to sell my company to you…”
“Miss Taylor, let’s discuss potential collaboration.”
…
Dressed in a tailored business attire, Evelyn exuded a combination of sensuality and professionalism. Yet, her youthful face still hinted at a touch of innocence, making her a striking blend of purity and allure.
When she stepped out of the elevator, two bodyguards quickly surrounded her, blocking the approaching crowd.
Both of them were “demigods.” Stopping a few ordinary people was an easy task for them.
Evelyn’s voice took on a chilly tone as she addressed the crowd, “If you have any business, please come back tomorrow. I have important guests to meet now. If you have matters today, please register at the front desk first.”
“Miss Taylor, you can’t do this. I’ve been waiting all day,” someone shouted. Others voiced their displeasure as well, causing the hall to become noisy.
Evelyn raised an eyebrow and coolly responded, “Those who don’t want to wait don’t need to negotiate.”
As her gaze swept over the businessmen, everyone fell silent. They felt an intangible pressure from this young woman that momentarily overwhelmed them. Even the seasoned tycoons didn’t dare utter another word.
Alice stared at Evelyn, feeling like the girl in front of her was vastly different from the Evelyn she knew before.
Her makeup was more refined, her dress sense more exquisite. She looked even more stunning than before, exuding authority and charisma, shining brilliantly like the moon in the sky and as dazzling as the stars.
After addressing the businessmen, Evelyn’s gaze softened considerably when it landed on William. A familiar gentle smile appeared on her face, “William, let’s go upstairs to talk.”
William’s face remained expressionless, giving only a slight nod, and then followed Evelyn towards the elevator.
After a few steps, Evelyn paused and slowly turned her gaze to Zoey and the others, asking, “Are these your friends?”
Zoey’s expression mirrored William’s cold demeanor, stating tersely, “I’m Director Wenzel of the 13th Bureau. We need your cooperation for an investigation.”
“13th Bureau?” A faint smile graced Evelyn’s lips, “Then you can wait downstairs. I have some matters to discuss with my friend. We can chat later.”
Clearly, Evelyn was aware of the 13th Bureau but didn’t seem to regard it with much importance.
Wes quickly interjected, “William is also with our unit. Maybe he can discuss it with you on our behalf.”
It wasn’t that he feared Evelyn,it was just that in such a situation, if Zoey lost her temper, or Alice drew her sword, it would pose a significant danger to the ordinary people present.
Seeing how well Evelyn treats William, it’s perfect for William to talk with her.
Avoiding disputes whenever possible was the key, and finding a peaceful resolution was of utmost importance.
Evelyn paused for a moment, looking at William and asked, “William, you’ve joined their 13th Bureau too?”
William gave a slight nod, contemplating, how should he approach the conversation with Evelyn?
Should he share his suspicions with her directly, or take another approach?
Did he need to reveal everything to Evelyn, or say nothing at all?
After all, it was an event from almost two thousand years ago. Morgana was Morgana, and Evelyn was Evelyn. William was very clear about this distinction.
If someone loses their past memories and is reborn with a new life and new loved ones, they should be considered a completely new individual, regardless of whose reincarnation they might be.
Even if Evelyn possessed all of Morgana’s memories, William had no illusions of rekindling any past relationships. He had a clear understanding of the nature of connections and their transient nature, the rise and fall of relationships, William sees it clearer than anyone else.
“Let’s go upstairs together.” Evelyn didn’t intentionally make things difficult for Zoey and the others and entered the elevator after saying this.
“You two can talk first, I can wait,” Lana, being astute, noticed the odd dynamic at play. She perceived the unique demeanor Evelyn had towards William. As a woman, she felt that if William were to mediate with Evelyn, it might cause unnecessary complications.
If they couldn’t compete, and the business couldn’t continue, then selling it wasn’t a big deal.
If they couldn’t stay in New York, they could always relocate. Nothing was insurmountable. ．
Inside the elevator, there was just Evelyn, her two bodyguards, and William’s group.
“William, as I suspected, you are a Soulmancer too.” Now at an intermediate Soulmancer level, Evelyn could easily discern William’s “strength”, which is at a beginner’s Soulmancer level.
She could also see through Alice and Wes’s abilities at a glance. As for Zoey, she was a bit peculiar. It was hard to gauge her Soulmancer level, but the energy she exuded was pure, almost reaching a state of simplicity and returning to the essence, making her seem like an ordinary person.
However, given that Zoey introduced herself as the Director of the 13th Bureau, she couldn’t possibly be just an ordinary person.
William simply nodded, still uncertain about how to approach the conversation with Evelyn.
“How about coming to work at my company?” Evelyn extended her invitation again, “As I’ve told you before, you don’t need to worry about the salary. Just name your price.”
The expressions on Wes and Zoey’s faces shifted subtly. It was rather bold of Evelyn to poach William right in front of them.
“No need. I’m doing quite well at the 13th Bureau.” William had considered Evelyn’s offer the last time, but now he firmly declined, “You already have many experts around you; I’d rather not join.”
Evelyn remained silent, her gaze fixated on the side of William’s face, appearing somewhat entranced.
Once the elevator doors opened, Evelyn took a deep breath and said to William, “William, come with me. There’s something I need to discuss with you.”
William also addressed Zoey and the others, “Please wait for me.”
Wes nodded repeatedly, “Go ahead, it should be fine.”
Since William had already declined Evelyn’s job offer, there shouldn’t be any major issues now.
Wes had come to recognize the importance of William. Alice’s Sword Spirit was formidable, but she had acted on behalf of William.
If they hadn’t had the deterrent of the Sword Spirit within Alice’s divine sword, they wouldn’t have known how to face the thousands of “demigods.”
Including the present Evelyn. If it weren’t for William and Alice coming together, they would likely have to resort to confrontation to even get a chance to meet Evelyn. And about the potential outcome of that confrontation…
Wes felt there was little chance of success.
Thus, they were now relying on William for everything.
