"Cybertron?"
Ms. Emerald was a bit puzzled. She quickly searched her mind for the name but came up empty.
"Alright, that's just a name I came up with," Jiang Lin calmly explained, seeing Ms. Emerald's confused expression.
"What is this a name of?"
"A planet."
Ms. Emerald nodded. The moment he said that, she immediately understood: he had come to her for the planet the company had promised him.
Just then, another person appeared at the doorway.
Turning to look, they saw a figure with long silver hair falling down, the tips tinged with aquamarine. Her eyes were like a galaxy, and her face had a peach blush.
A grey-green dress with a dark cape, her posture graceful and slender.
It was Sam.
But she stood shyly at the door, seemingly not wanting to interrupt the conversation between the two inside.
With just one glance, Jiang Lin realized that she... was socially anxious.
Ms. Emerald also noticed the figure at the door and smiled.
"Please come in, Ms. Samuel."
Sam nodded slightly, looking at Jiang Lin with a hint of curiosity.
And Jiang Lin also looked at Sam... After a long silence... "Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Lin spoke first.
Sam quickly shook her head.
"No, it's just that my companions often mention you."
Ms. Emerald seemed to recall something amusing at this point, a slight smile gracing her lips as she asked Sam, "Do you know this... Mr. Star? Oh, no, it should be Mr. Caelus."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Sam couldn't help but tilt her head, a large question mark seemingly appearing above it.
But Jiang Lin spoke up then: "I know Ms. Samuel; my companion mentioned her to me."
Then, there was another long silence, this time among all three of them.
Afterward, Ms. Emerald reluctantly dropped her smile and said in a very calm tone, "Alright, enough with the games. There's no need for pseudonym anymore, after all, we all know each other, don't we? Mr. Jiang Lin and... Ms. Sam."
Jiang Lin and Sam nodded in agreement.
At this point, Ms. Emerald continued, "Let's get back to our previous topic."
But Jiang Lin refused, looking at Sam and saying calmly, "Let Ms. Sam speak first."
However, Sam looked at Jiang Lin, appearing hesitant to speak.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Lin thought carefully and probably guessed what she was concerned about.
"There's no need for that. Just speak your mind. I know everything about you, well, mostly everything."
Sam was stunned. Although she didn't know why Jiang Lin was so certain, especially since even Caelus didn't know everything about her, she then recalled Elio's emphasis on Mr. Jiang Lin and secretly mused: Perhaps he has some special abilities.
So, Sam no longer hesitated and looked at Ms. Emerald very seriously.
"I found the people you mentioned. After visiting House of the Golden Touch, their respective wishes were indeed fulfilled."
As she spoke, Sam unconsciously put on a 'cat-face' expression.
"But I still don't know what you want me to see clearly. They all look so... complete."
Ms. Emerald showed no surprise at hearing this.
"Don't worry, this step is just to make you believe that House of the Golden Touch is genuine.
Next, I will naturally tell you the price they paid."
With that, Ms. Emerald unhurriedly revealed the prices paid by Dell, Stacy, and Walker.
After explaining, Ms. Emerald unconsciously smiled.
"It's a very interesting phenomenon, isn't it?
I satisfy some people's desires, bestowing favors upon them.
And these favors quickly return to me, accompanied by even greater desires.
And when people glimpse others' desires being fulfilled, they too will generate equivalent desires, endlessly.
Ultimately, I can retrieve what I want from this vortex.
The thing I'm best at is waiting.
So, do you understand what you need to pay now?"
While the two of them were chatting animatedly, Jiang Lin was also wandering around the room.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything that interested him.
Just as Jiang Lin's attention returned to their conversation, his phone suddenly vibrated.
It was Caelus. He didn't know why he had created a new group chat and added him to it.
Jiang Lin looked at the group members. Hmm, many people. He had to admit Caelus had a wide network of contacts... Just then, Caelus, as the group owner, spoke:
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Something's happened, friends."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: There's an imaginary neutron bomb on board."
"March 7th: ?"
"Welt: What's going on?"
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: The Fool is entirely to blame."
Just then, a notification appeared in the group.
"Where to Watch the Fireworks From" joined the group chat.
"Where to Watch the Fireworks From: Let Lady Sparkle explain it herself~"
"Where to Watch the Fireworks From: Sparkle mischievous smile.jpg"
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: You dare to join the group???"
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: See how we deal with you!"
"Where to Watch the Fireworks From: Alright~ Then come chase me through the internet cable~"
"Where to Watch the Fireworks From: Alright, let's get to business!"
After Sparkle explained her 'joking' bomb, everyone in the group fell silent.
"March 7th: ..."
"Dan Heng: ..."
"Boot Hill: Do you have a problem??"
"Argenti: Watch your language! Silver Cowboy."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: ..."
Then Sparkle, after specifying the location and quantity (999), directly left the group.
"March 7th: How many??"
"Himeko: Don't panic, we'll handle it together."
After seeing this, Jiang Lin treated the matter as a joke.
Sparkle's prank was obviously fake at a glance.
And Ratio in the group sent a "1" and then directly left the group.
Jiang Lin had reason to suspect he had also seen through it.
At this moment, Ms. Emerald and Sam had also finished their conversation.
However, to Sam's disappointment, this place could not meet her needs.
Jiang Lin stepped forward at this time, first saying to Sam:
"Go find Caelus."
Sam was slightly taken aback, asking curiously:
"What's going on with her?"
"Hmm, playing a game..."
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and used a more fitting description.
"Is that so? I'll go right away."
Hearing this, Sam's eyes lit up. After bidding farewell to both of them, she left with light steps.
"Now it's between us, Ms. Emerald."
Jiang Lin looked at Ms. Emerald, who wore a polite smile.
"Hmm, Mr. Jiang Lin, I already know your request. I've already sent you the coordinates of that planet.
Also, all the transfer agreements and contracts are ready, and the company staff stationed on that planet are prepared, just waiting for you to go and sign them."
