Chapter 564: Room Shortage

Chen Ke returned to the Opportunity City through the door and appeared in Li Moyang's manor. After the battle that night, the manor was renovated, and there were many more security guards and servants inside, which felt more like a mansion with people living in it.

The sunlight outside the window shone directly into the house, making the floor hot, and the white curtains were blown up by the wind. On the lawn outside, several gardeners were pruning. Chen Ke did not find Li Moyang in the living room on the second floor, so he used his spiritual vision to scan the entire house to see where Li Moyang would be.

Well... I didn't find it.

He originally wanted to find Li Moyang and ask him to provide a temporary residence to solve the living problems of the two girls, but unfortunately, Li Moyang didn't seem to be there.

As soon as Chen Ke went out, he ran into two security guards in suits.

"Sir... Don't move, who are you?!" The security guard immediately raised his gun and aimed at Chen Ke nervously. At this moment, he was wearing Florence's suit, which seemed out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. After all, his suit was broken.

"I'm here to find Li Moyang. I'm his friend." Chen Ke said.

"I think you're more like an assassin! Psychic power is useless in this house, raise your hands and surrender!" The security guard didn't buy it.

"If psychic power is useless, what am I wearing?" Chen Ke laughed, with an orange light flashing in his hand, and the blasphemous dagger appeared in his hand.

"Notify other units... found the assassin... on the second floor, and be sure to protect Mr. Li's safety." The security personnel slowly retreated, as if they were preparing to call for help.

"Enough, put down the gun." At this time, a familiar female voice sounded from behind them.

Chen Ke's eyes passed over the two security guards and saw Shreli coming elegantly.

She was wearing a purple tight dress with transparent suspenders. Under her snow-white neck, the one-line clavicle line was very beautiful. The close-fitting tight one-piece dress wrapped around her body outlined a good figure that made men fascinated.

"Ms. Shreli..." The security guard nodded slightly.

"He is our friend, lift the alert, boys." Shreli smiled.

The security guard put away his gun and turned away.

"So... Chen Ke, are you here to see me?" Shreli walked forward with a smile.

"I came to ask Li Moyang for help." Chen Ke said.

"Oh, what a pity, he is very busy now." Shreli shook her head.

"This place is well-kept, with bodyguards, servants, gardeners... It looks more like a rich man's manor than when I first came here." Chen Ke said.

"This is my idea. We even have special chefs. They come from Franciad, Phoenix Republic and Ingram, and of course there are local chefs in the Federation. You can cook whatever food you want." Shreli said.

"Oh... It's hard to imagine that Li Moyang would agree to you turning this place into this..." Chen Ke said.

"Hmph, this is his idea. I'm just helping him. But to be honest, he does have good taste in how to spend money... Look at you, handsome guy, wearing a whole set of holy objects. Could it be that you came back from some great void? Hmm... You smell like a woman..." Shreli said as she approached Chen Ke to smell him and reached out to touch the blue ribbon on his chest.

Chen Ke grabbed Shreli's wrist to stop her from touching it.

"Li Moyang's idea? I don't think he's the kind of person who pursues luxury. And why are the security guards so alert all of a sudden?" Chen Ke asked.

Li Moyang made a hole under this manor for research, and he also had a plan. Logically, he wouldn't deploy too many talents in the manor. After all, there are too many people and it's easy for people from other forces to mix in.

"It's normal that you don't know. After Dad helped Li Moyang to acquire Lescott's spiritual property, some people tried to assassinate Li Moyang. They seemed to be some extremists who wanted to drive him out of the federation." Shreli explained.

Chen Ke said "oh" and looked out the window. Li Moyang had dealt with one of the giants of the spiritual property in Opportunity City. With his execution ability, it was only a matter of time before other spiritual properties were impacted. The bigwigs in the upper circle of the spiritual property would not sit still and wait for death.

However, sniping Li Moyang in the business world would cost a lot of time and money. They probably didn't have the patience. Sending someone to assassinate him was a more convenient and affordable method.

Chen Ke suddenly remembered the conditions that Li Moyang mentioned when he helped him before, to join his plan and protect his safety. It seems that it is time to fulfill this promise.

"Where is he now?" Chen Ke asked.

"Either he is discussing with his father upstairs, or he is fiddling with something in his cave. Like you, he is a man with no interest." Shreli asked.

"It seems that he is in the cave. I will go find him now." Chen Ke said, turning around and pulling the door.

"That doesn't lead to his cave, handsome guy, you actually need help from others? Can you reveal a little bit?" Shreli grabbed Chen Ke's right arm.

"Hmph... I also need a place to live, you know." Chen Ke smiled.

"Oh... This house looks big, but there are few rooms available. I don't mind squeezing in with you." Shreli came up and smiled meaningfully.

Chen Ke put his face close to Shreli's ear and whispered, "Sorry, I'm allergic to this brand of perfume."

He opened the door, and inside was Li Moyang's underground laboratory. Li Moyang was sitting on the ground, holding a notebook and typing something, and his damaged armor was hanging on the shelf next to him.

Chen Ke walked into the cave and closed the door behind him. Shreli hurriedly chased after him, but when she opened the door, it was only the living room on the second floor.

"Hmph..." Shreli looked at the empty room and frowned slightly.

Chen Ke's sudden visit caught Li Moyang off guard. He noticed someone behind him and immediately turned around, aiming his right hand at Chen Ke. The half-armor on the shelf also suddenly raised his right hand, and the nozzle in the palm emitted a blue light, ready to shoot at any time.

When he saw that it was Chen Ke, Li Moyang sighed and waved his hand to restore the armor to its original state.

"I heard from Shreli that someone wanted to assassinate you recently?" Chen Ke said as he walked to Li Moyang and stopped, looking at the computer screen curiously.

"Sometimes businessmen are no different from gangsters. Chen Ke, what brought you here?" Li Moyang threw his notebook on the ground and untied the patch circuit wrapped around his right forearm.

Chen Ke noticed that these circuits were connected to the back of the armor. It seemed that this thing could not be controlled wirelessly.

"Someone wants to assassinate you, why didn't you call me?" Chen Ke asked.

"I know your ability, and you've seen mine. You are my insurance, and you can't use it on trivial matters, and besides..." Li Moyang stood up and patted the dust off his pants.

"Besides, after the last battle, my armor has made me find some areas that need improvement. I need more psychic data and at least blue-level holy diamonds to test new weapon platforms." Li Moyang said.

Chen Ke saw a black code interface on the computer screen, which he would never be able to understand in his life.
