The Kong family is after all a prominent noble family in Haihang City, the richness of their information channels is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.
Moreover, Lin Ye rembers that in a previous life, the ’Storm Magic God’ title of Kong Feiliu beca so renowned actually because many of their own dia companies were promoting it.
Previously Lin Ye gave Kong Feiliu a hand partly wanting to acquire talent, and partly because he didn’t want such a talent to die without cause.
It was unexpected that Lin Ye would now have use for the resources of the Kong family.
Of course, the other party might not be willing to be used by Lin Ye, everything depends on fate!
"Alright! Then we’ll wait for you at the center." Zhang Ruiqi responded again.
Only then did Lin Ye put down his phone and head straight towards the Professional Center.
Without any hindrance, Lin Ye soon arrived at the Professional Center. The staff recognized Lin Ye at a glance and imdiately took him to Zhang Ruiqi’s office.
The staff at the center were already quite accustod to Lin Ye’s visits, knowing well whom he was there to see.
Lin Ye walked into Zhang Ruiqi’s office and saw that besides Zhang Ruiqi, there were several others present.
Among them was the figure of Kong Feiliu!
"Brother Lin! Long ti no see!" Kong Feiliu was the first to speak sowhat excitedly.
He was truly grateful to Lin Ye!
If not for Lin Ye, he might have already perished on the Champion Battlefield and wouldn’t have been able to return to the Human World, nor gain the benefit of the ’Holy Light Body’!
It could be said that Lin Ye was an absolute benefactor to him!
The person accompanying Kong Feiliu, upon seeing Lin Ye entering at this ti, also brightened up and imdiately ca forward to greet him.
This was an elder with graying hair.
"You must be young friend Lin Ye? Truly outstanding!" The elder was none other than the current Patriarch of the Kong family, Kong Huagai!
"Hello, Elder Kong, I’ve long admired your na!" Lin Ye bowed slightly in greeting.
The old Patriarch of the Kong family was also a legendary Professional in his youth, who had made significant contributions to humanity, a venerable elder worthy of admiration.
Even though he had grown old and his strength was not what it once was, his vigor was still far superior to others of his age.
"Not bad, not bad!" Kong Huagai nodded repeatedly with a smile.
He was deeply pleased by Lin Ye’s humble deanor.
Of course, the most crucial point was that Lin Ye’s seemingly ordinary greeting was, in fact, a subtle complint that hit right at Kong Huagai’s heart, making him feel elated!
He hadn’t expected that a young person would know about him, an old retired man!
At the mont, his impression of Lin Ye improved significantly.
Compared to Lin Ye, his own sowhat foolish grandson was simply unsatisfactory.
"So Lin Ye, you already know the Patriarch of the Kong family; that saves the trouble of introductions." Zhang Ruiqi also said with a chuckle.
Zhang Ruiqi also hadn’t expected that a young person like Lin Ye would know about such an elder as Elder Kong, and was sowhat surprised.
After all, the strongest of an era might be known to all, but the second or third strongest of the sa era might have much less recognition.
Soone like Elder Kong, who could not be considered the top among the strongest, had long since retired and faded into the crowd.
Actually, Lin Ye didn’t pay too much attention to these things...
But in a previous life, before Lin Ye went to defeat the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, he had visited Elder Kong, the old rival of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, so Lin Ye was indeed not unfamiliar with so of Elder Kong’s deeds.
However, seeing that the other side seed so happy, Lin Ye could only keep a straight face and refrain from speaking.
"Actually, we’ve co this ti to express our gratitude to you properly." Elder Kong said.
"Yes, Brother Lin’s great kindness is sothing Feiliu will never forget!" Kong Feiliu also said very earnestly.
"It’s nothing, I didn’t help you out with the intention of seeking your repaynt." Lin Ye waved his hand, indicating that they need not be so formal.
Of course, no one cared whether he was being modest.
The Kong family couldn’t possibly dismiss their gratitude just because of Lin Ye’s words.
If word got out, it would be a significant embarrassnt for their Kong family!
"No way, knowing gratitude and repaying it is the right way! You may not care, but we absolutely cannot forsake etiquette!" Kong Huagai shook his head, then took out sothing.
"A small gift, hope you don’t mind."
It was a palm-sized box, and Lin Ye, without any pretense, accepted the box from Kong Huagai.
"Open it and see if it pleases you?" Kong Huagai added.
Receiving a gift is naturally inappropriate to open in front of others, but since it was the request of the other party, Lin Ye complied.
"Click."
The box opened, revealing a golden-glowed pearl inside.
"This is..."
Lin Ye was sowhat surprised; he recognized this item.
The eyeball of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch!
Unexpectedly, the old Patriarch had such a treasure in his possession!
"This, this is an eyeball I clawed out myself from a Demon Monarch back in the day!" Kong Huagai said with a bit of pride.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruiqi couldn’t help but stand in awe.
Clawing out an eyeball from a Demon Monarch, such a feat is indeed sothing worth boasting about.
"This gift is too significant, I can’t accept it." Lin Ye also said at this point.
This thing, indeed, is a great gift!
An item from a Demon Monarch can’t be anything simple, can it?
Especially an apex Demon Monarch like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, just one step away from reaching the Demon God Realm.
"Just accept it, I don’t know why, but I just feel you might have a connection with this thing..." Kong Huagai said with a strange look on his face.
His appearance clearly showed that he knew this thought was sowhat inexplicable.
However, he was telling the truth, not making anything up.
While considering what gift to give Lin Ye, he suddenly rembered this item, which had been stashed in the corner for many years.
"Hahaha! Since there’s fate, I think younger brother Lin should accept it!" Zhang Ruiqi said with a chuckle.
Apparently, he believed this was a pretext made up by Elder Kong to hand over the gift to Lin Ye.
Not to ntion, the reason was indeed quite flimsy.
But...
Lin Ye, however, had a clear insight; Elder Kong was truly an old-fashioned strong person, with extrely keen senses.
In the previous life, he and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch had perished together, and in this life, if possible, Lin Ye was also determined to slay it.
The entanglent between Lin Ye and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch could hardly be sumd up with the word "fate."
And at the mont, Lin Ye stopped being modest and closed the box, expressing his gratitude respectfully.
He didn’t examine the Demon Monarch’s eyeball closely, instead directly placing it into his own Spatial Bag.
Seeing Lin Ye accept the gift, Kong Huagai said sowhat ruefully: "Although this eyeball was clawed out by from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, I’ve never figured out its use over these years..."
Otherwise, this item wouldn’t have been left on the shelf for so many years.
"I’ll study it further when I go back..." Lin Ye responded calmly.
Yet in his heart, he understood clearly.
If he hadn’t obtained the True Sight talent, the eyeball might really have no use for him.
But now, it indeed had great use!
