Chapter 493: Chapter 348: Visit to the Twilight Tea Party (Two in One) _3
Ves shrugged and nodded with a grin.
However, he held deep disdain in his heart, thinking that Anderson, like his uncle Manoran, was also a Vice Chairman, yet he seed so timid and fearful… Could Jack really defeat an incarnation of the Saint?
Ves didn’t believe it at all.
He thought that the guy must have relied on soone else’s strength, or he was still being manipulated by the Chairman, who covertly altered the trajectory of their destinies, leading to a series of coincidences that made that seemingly impossible miracle happen.

“Mr. Jack, soone is here to see you.”
Standing at the doorway of the study was Connie, who handed over a business card.
“There are two gentlen, they say they are your friends.”
Chen Lun took the business card and looked down.
It read, “Magic Enthusiasts Association: Vice Chairman Anderson.”
He imdiately realized that his divination from yesterday had co true.
The unwelco visitors brought good luck.
“Friends…”
Chen Lun already had a guess about the visitors and chuckled softly.
“Please invite them to the backyard, I will wait for them there.”
“Yes, Mr. Jack.”
Connie nodded respectfully, curtsied, and then left.
She didn’t detect anything unusual, thinking the two gentlen were really just interested in magic and performances and wanted to discuss these with Mr. Jack.
A mont later.
In the gazebo of the backyard, Chen Lun noticed two flamboyantly dressed n approaching, led by Connie.
The younger gentleman was gazing at him intently, his eyes swirling with mists.
[You are under “Peek Life” detection, your information will be exposed!]
[Judgnt of Strength and Intelligence underway…]
[Opponent’s judgnt failed, nullifying this espionage!]
The young gentleman suddenly staggered, almost unable to stand but was quickly supported by the older gentleman next to him, thereby avoiding a fall.
“Sir, are you alright?”
Connie, seeing his eyes bloodshot and his forehead veins pulsing, was startled and asked with concern. Ves rely glanced at her coldly, unable to speak.
“He’s fine, just suddenly ill,”
Chen Lun stepped forward, explaining to Connie.
“You may go on with your duties, Connie.”
“Alright, Mr. Jack.”
Connie nodded in acknowledgnt and as she left, she couldn’t help but glance back at the young gentleman twice.
Feeling pity, she thought it was sad that soone so young could suffer from such a strange disease.
After Connie left.
“On behalf of Ves, I apologize, Mr. Jack Spett,”
Anderson, despite his annoyance with Ves, forced a smile and bowed to Chen Lun.
He removed his red and white checkered top hat and said gravely:
“It is extrely impolite to pry into soone’s privacy upon first eting. I sincerely apologize for that!”
Chen Lun calmly observed the two n.
He didn’t feel any high-ranking aura from them, which increased his confidence slightly.
“Please, take a seat, gentlen.”
He said with a faint smile as if he hadn’t taken the recent events to heart.
Anderson breathed a sigh of relief internally, gave Ves a hard pat on the shoulder, and then took a seat.
Ves was suffering the backlash of his failed attempt, his face flushed red as he kept his head down in silence.
He was embarrassed and in severe pain, which made him feel extrely uncomfortable.
“Mr. Jack, I am Anderson, Vice Chairman of the Twilight Tea Party. It is a pleasure to et you.”
Anderson extended his hand, getting straight to the point without further noticing the fellow next to him.
“Twilight Tea Party…”
Chen Lun smiled courteously and shook his hand.
“So, Mr. Anderson, what brings you to today?”
Seeing that Chen Lun was not surprised and obviously aware of the tea party’s information, Anderson skipped the introduction.
He directly stated his purpose:
“In fact, we have been following you for a while, as you are also a Transcendent on the Path of Destiny. The tea party longs for individuals with unique talents like yours… and your outstanding performance has won unanimous approval from the tea party. We cordially invite you to join.”
Chen Lun feigned surprise, then shook his head and declined.
“Sorry, I have already joined a transcendental force.”
“Oh, that’s alright.”
Anderson smiled broadly, persistently persuading:
“The Twilight Tea Party is unlike typical transcendental organizations; it lacks those cumberso formalities. mbers have their freedom… just like in any ordinary tea party, occasionally gathering to discuss future developnts.”
Seeing this, Chen Lun already guessed their motive.
The seat battle between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club had reached a critical mont. Seeing his importance, the tea party chose this mont to try to win him over.
But little did they know, he had already learned of their sches and reported the information early to the Round Table Knights…
Now that they had co to him, it felt almost inappropriate not to take advantage of the situation.
Chen Lun chuckled inwardly.
Yet he displayed a troubled expression outwardly.
“What benefits would I get by joining you?”
