Star Falls City, Teleportation Platform
"Is it true that the mysterious boss of the guild is coming?" Veronica, who was standing next to Carn, asked in a sowhat nervous tone.
The feeling was equivalent to her boss in a subsidiary company suddenly informing them that the parent company boss was arriving.
"Yeah, the Guild Leader confird it himself and told
to be careful." Carn smiled bitterly. Currently, the two of them wore the Stealth Cloak, courtesy of Lethal Corp's gift.
Therefore, the two of them remained hidden from the public, considering that they wouldn't be able to identify them.
Nevertheless, Carn still felt extrely exposed while standing and waiting patiently for the mysterious boss.
She had heard about this mysterious boss ti and ti again from Xu Feng, but not once had she ever t them. Not to ntion, she still couldn't tell what Xu Feng's mysterious boss was capable of.
'Feng himself is already considered a monster filled with many strategies. Then what about his boss? Are they a demon disguised as a regular human?' Countless imaginary thoughts popped out of Carn's mind.
Amidst her dazed, Veronica suddenly patted her shoulders and whispered, "Look at that player over there, Carn. Could that person be the one we're waiting for?"
As Carn snapped out of her daze, she hurriedly glanced at the person whom Veronica was talking about.
Sure enough, when her eyes hovered over the player, she felt a sense of dread and pressure overwhelming her subconsciously.
However, she quickly composed herself and scrutinized the equipnt that the player was wearing before pausing at the mask.
For a Voidmancer like her, she was quite sensitive to mana. Thus, she beca positive that the feeling she felt was through the mask.
While she was thinking of that, the player stopped their movent a few ters away from her.
Taking a deep breath, Carn raised the question. "Who is the one that knocks?"
Hearing that, the player chuckled in amusent.
"Healers are the ones who knock." He responded, feeling quite embarrassed in the process. Indeed, this was Xu Feng, who tried to play so espionage role.
Yet now that he actually acted it out, Xu Feng regretted his decision rather quickly.
'Ah, I didn't expect it would be this embarrassing.' Xu Feng cried inwardly, nearly breaking off his character.
Luckily, Carn didn't feel the sa embarrassnt and rely nodded her head. It appeared as if she was completely composed, but the truth was, she was shaking quite intensely from the inside.
'So this is the mysterious boss?' Carn was so nervous that she wanted to flee from this mont.

"Let's go." Surprisingly though, Veronica was the one who showed little to zero emotion as she suggested they move.
Soti later, the trio arrived at the Vanguard Hotel, which appeared more desolate than ever.
"Hmm, if I recall from the reports I've received. The Vanguard Hotel should have been a booming business." Xu Feng faked his tone of speech and said, acting as if he didn't know much about the situation.
"The Vanguard Hotel was indeed a booming business, but ever since the monster wave appeared, the business had been dwindling. This is especially so when the other guilds began to take advantage of the crisis to dampen us." Veronica reported, her tone sowhat chilly.
Without a doubt, she was subtly blaming his inaction and failure to do anything. Although the responsibility was ultimately dependent on the Guild Leader, they knew that their Guild Leader had another boss above him.
Therefore, who else would she bla aside from this mysterious boss who finally decided to show up?
Of course, Xu Feng could sense the hostility from the tone but paid no heed to it. The more hostility she displayed, the more reassured he was.
After all, she was blaming it on his alternate persona and not his actual in-ga na.
"I see." Xu Feng continued his act and glanced around.
"Hmm, where are the other NPCs? We have been here for a while yet there was no one to receive us? Is this how you operate the guild business?" He continued, clearly nitpicking and finding flaws.
"You–" Sure enough, Veronica was about to snap at him, only to be halted by Carn.
"How about we stop this pointless conversation, Guild Leader's Boss?" Carn then said and gazed at him. "I'm sure the Guild Leader's Boss isn't ignorant to be acting like so out-of-touch boss who only knows how to talk but can't do anything. If that were the case, then the Guild Leader wouldn't have revered you this highly."
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Right after Carn finished her statent, Xu Feng started clapping in amazent.
"As expected of soone whom Little Feng trusted." Xu Feng praised heartily and continued, "Pardon my offense in giving you so tests. I rely wished to see the type of people that Little Feng chose to be like."
"And your verdict?"
"Full marks."
Of course, Xu Feng was giving himself the full mark without any sha. The people he chose were naturally the cream of the crop.
"Anyway, you don't have to refer to
as Guild Leader's Boss. You can just address
as Eclipse Nova since that's my na here." Xu Feng calmly said.
"Eclipse Nova?" Confused, Carn tried her best to recall if there was any prominent player going by that na. Alas, she failed to find any, which ant that he decided to go private and off the radar.
Precisely because she ca to such a conclusion that made Carn realize his ability was sothing else.
She might not be able to tell what kind of equipnt he wore unless he displayed the information to them, but she was positive that he was wearing Rare Equipnt from head to toe.
As for the mask itself, Carn suspected it to be of Epic rarity.
'He's even more filthy rich than the Guild Leader.' Carn concluded and frowned at this stingy person who didn't even offer much financial support to the guild.
