His subordinate did not know which restaurant he should book.
Fortunately, Daji had a conscience. Seeing that his subordinate was helpless, he narrowed his eyes and thought of a specific cuisine.
"Find a hotpot restaurant."
"Yes."
His subordinate quickly went to search for it.
They stayed in a place like Continent F that lacked resources all the time. They usually ate steak or mashed potatoes. The taste was so bland.
However, this was the first time his subordinate heard that his boss liked to eat hotpot… It was unexpected that his image had broken through!
His subordinate closed the door as he left.
Daji sent Qiao Nian a WeChat message asking if she was alright with eating hotpot.
The girl did not react for a long time. It seemed like she was not looking at her cell phone.
He did not mind it and put his phone aside.
He turned around and tried to find a bag of peanuts and wine, but he could not find it after searching for a long time. Instead, the cell phone rang.
"Who is it?"
Frowning, he walked back and picked up the phone on the coffee table. He looked down at the unknown number on the screen and picked up the call.
"Hey."
This time, his voice was much more normal.
It was a b.l.o.o.d.y aura that could not be suppressed in the coldness.
From his voice, it could be seen that he was a ruthless character who had made a name for himself in a place like Continent F.
However, the caller was also someone who had seen the world. He calmly introduced himself. "h.e.l.lo, Mr. David. I'm Mr. Ji's a.s.sistant, He Lin. Mr. Ji Lingfeng wants to see you. I wonder if you can come out to meet him?"
The other party directly called him by the name he used in Continent F.
Daji's eyes darkened. His cold facial features were rough and handsome. One look and one could tell that he was a mature man.
Not too surprised, he said in a low voice, "Emperor Ji?"
He had specially come to the independent continent for Qiao Nian this time. Before coming, he had investigated the various factions in the independent continent.
There were only two people here that he was especially afraid of.
One was the Patriarch of the Ji family, Ji Lingfeng, one of the three unshakeable families in the old faction.
The other was the mysterious boss, Y, who represented the new force, Bright Gate.
He actually did not care about the others, including Yu Qingliu from the reclusive families. However, Daji did not dare to be arrogant in front of these two figures.
Hence, he said nicely, "I have time in the afternoon."
He Lin politely asked, "What about the location?"
Daji was even more polite. "This is your territory. You can decide on the location."
"Alright, Mr. David. I'll send you the address after I book the place." After He Lin finished speaking, he politely said, "I won't disturb your rest."
* * *
"What did he say?" Ji Lingfeng put down the doc.u.ment he was reading and touched his forehead. He was exceptionally tired after working for a long time.
He Lin walked back and obediently said, "Mr. David has agreed to meet you in the afternoon. He let us decide on the venue."
"Heh, he's a smart person." Ji Lingfeng seemed to have thought of something and instructed him with a smile, "Since he's showing his sincerity, we can't be too rude. Book a private room at Seaview Pavilion! He can rest a.s.sured there."
He Lin quickly raised his head and stole a glance at the middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura. He did not understand why the weapons dealer would be at ease at Seaview Pavilion…
But he had never been a talkative person.
He did as Ji Lingfeng instructed. "I understand, Patriarch."
