Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Chatting with Joanna
These people didn’t know that what surprised Ling Feng was not the existence of the special space, but that besides himself, others actually had one!
And looking at everyone’s expressions, this matter seed to be no secret, they all knew!
At that mont, Joanna couldn’t help but mockingly say, "Don’t be surprised, everyone. Ling Feng cos from a small place, it’s normal for him to not have seen much of the world!"
Upon hearing her say this, everyone showed a sudden look of understanding!
Ling Feng couldn’t help but glare at her, this woman was clearly mocking him!
He hadn’t expected her to be so vengeful.
Seeing Ling Feng glare at her, Joanna didn’t hesitate to glare back at him.
"Alright, ti’s almost up, the eting will end here. Everyone must rember, hosting this international security conference here, we can’t afford to let the guests’ items go missing. That would be a disgrace to our security bureau!" Zhang He said.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
After the eting ended, everyone left the room. Ling Feng followed behind Joanna, looking around innocently, and then stopped near his own spot.
By that ti, quite a few foreigners had already started to arrive. These people were all from various country’s security departnts, so Ling Feng couldn’t help but take a few extra looks.
Dressed distinctively and with all sorts of shapes and features, these people would go unnoticed among the common crowd, no one knowing that they were cultivators with special abilities.
"So many people, surely they are not all from around the world. How many must there be in total?" Ling Feng wondered to himself.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Seeing him standing silently, Joanna ca over and asked.
Ling Feng glanced at her, "What, you want to talk to
now?"
"Don’t be so petty, okay? I am a girl after all; what’s wrong with having a little spat with you?"
Joanna looked indignant.
Ling Feng was sowhat speechless, "So what if you’re a girl? I don’t owe you anything, why should I indulge you?"
"Hey, don’t get worked up. I’m reaching out to you first, which is already giving you a way out!" Joanna widened her eyes.
"So I should thank you?" Ling Feng asked with a bitter smile.
Her foreign face, paired with her fluent Mandarin, really gave a jarring sensation.
"No need to thank . Let’s call it even. If sothing really happens later, we’ll still have to work together to catch people, right?" Joanna said cheerily.
Ling Feng nodded, knowing it wasn’t the ti to argue with her, so he replied, "Alright, let’s consider today’s matter settled. Don’t hold it against , I won’t stoop to your level either!"
Joanna was taken aback, feeling that sothing about his words was odd, but not wanting to dwell on the past, she nodded, "Deal!"
"I have a question for you. Knowing that people are coveting the Spirit Stone, why display it?" Ling Feng asked.
"The main reason is to share its characteristic data. There are definitely more than one out there. Everyone wants to find the second or even more!"
After understanding, Ling Feng laughed and said nothing more, then changed the subject, "By the way, that special space you were talking about earlier, it seems you all don’t find it strange. Why is that?"
"Not to offend, but that’s really because you’re ignorant!"
Joanna glanced at him and continued, "This person from Arica nad Luther is really quite famous. He has sothing special that can open an independent space that can hold anything!"
"So he’s never hidden it and even bragged about it everywhere, and now the whole world knows?" Ling Feng asked.
"Pretty much, but it’s only known to the World Security Association. Ordinary people are still in the dark. Luther knows where to draw the line!" Joanna nodded in confirmation.
"Are you saying that he is the only one in the world with such a powerful Magical Treasure?" Ling Feng feigned curiosity as he continued to inquire.
"I’m not sure about that. Maybe others have one too, but they’re not as showy about it – they keep it a secret!" Joanna replied.
Ling Feng chuckled to himself, I’m one of those people!
On the surface, he still pretended to be very surprised, "That’s strange, with such a fine thing, isn’t Wildcat coveting it? Why hasn’t she tried to steal it?"
"Hey, that’s an interesting story!"
Joanna was all animated as if she knew an incredibly fascinating story, but before she could begin, an announcent reverberated through the venue.
The eting was about to start.
Seeing this, Ling Feng took out a brand-new voice recorder from his pocket and started the recording mode.
Joanna curiously noticed this, "What are you doing?"
"Recording!" Ling Feng said earnestly.
"Why?"
Ling Feng gave her a look, "Do you think I have the energy to listen to the eting and watch the scene at the sa ti? So I record it and can explain it later when I return. Otherwise, what should I tell my chief if he asks
what the eting was about and I say I don’t rember because I was too busy being a security guard?"
Joanna looked at him as if staring at an idiot, "Don’t you know that after the eting ends there will be a summary docunt? Everything is recorded there; you can just take it back and explain yourself with that!"
Ling Feng, "...Why didn’t you say that earlier!"
"You didn’t ask!" Joanna rolled her eyes.
Ling Feng was genuinely at a loss for words, attending such a eting for the first ti, he was completely out of his depth, unaware of such details!
After a bitter smile, he put away the voice recorder, "What a waste of money!"
"Stingy!"
Hearing his words, Joanna pursed her lips.
While the two of them whispered, Ling Feng’s gaze swept across the eting hall, pondering if Wildcat was indeed present, where would she be right now?
If it were him, how would he steal the Spirit Stone?
He also caught bits of the eting about international cooperation, supervision, and control over Cultivators, but felt it didn’t have much to do with him; that was a concern for the higher-ups.
Soon, the eting was nearing its end, and then Zhang He, the moderator, spoke out loudly, "Now, please welco Mr. Luther from Arica."
At that mont, Ling Feng’s heart leapt, his attention soaring!
Zhang He continued, "Mr. Luther’s reputation, as everyone is likely aware, is quite significant. Today, he will display the only high-grade Spirit Stone discovered in the world so far."
Pausing for a mont, Zhang He added, "As everyone knows, the energy contained within a high-grade Spirit Stone is imnse, with unimaginable strategic significance. I’m sure everyone is eager to see it, so please, Mr. Luther, co to the stage."
As his words faded, a tall Caucasian man rose from the front row, walking arrogantly towards the stage.
Ling Feng watched him, knowing from his expression alone that the man was extrely conceited, his inward laughter unceasing!
He also wondered how big Luther’s space was, whether it was as impressive as his own Nine Heavens. If not, it would be rather laughable.
