Chapter 166 The deceased was found in the storage room on the fourteenth floor.
Pei Hening had no idea what everyone was thinking. She carefully considered her persona and said, "The three of you were chatting happily just now, but you all stopped talking as soon as I arrived? Are you trying to isolate me?"
Prince Peter paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Have you always spoken like this?"
Collector Lausa: "...Ms. Tribes, as a gentleman, I would not isolate a lady."
Renowned scholar Senaxi suppressed the urge to retort and forced a smile, saying, "Ms. Tribes, my wife is a fan of yours. May I ask for your autograph?"
The renowned scholar Senaxi actually pulled a photo out of his bag and handed it over.
Pei Hening glanced at the photo—wow, it was actually her face!
In the photo, she is wearing a pinkish-purple European-style court dress and stands in the center, while a man in a black suit whose face is obscured bows to her.
Pei Hening reluctantly said, "Since you're so sincere, I'll sign my name for you."
At that moment, a man in a stylish white suit walked in from outside.
Pei Hening looked up and saw Chu Xuange.
The moment I saw his face clearly, his identity came to mind: he was a fashion magazine editor-in-chief and designer.
"Trebliss, Prince Peter."
Chu Xuange greeted the two people he knew and then took the initiative to sit next to Pei Hening.
"Designer Field, I didn't expect you to come to watch the Happy Circus performance."
Chu Xuange laughed and said, "My muse is here, so of course I have to come."
Prince Peter nodded slightly and introduced the three of them: "This is the collector Lausa, and this is the scholar Senasi."
"This is the editor-in-chief of Bible fashion magazine, and designer Mr. Field."
Pei Hening glanced at the bodyguard who had been following her and saw him standing not far away, talking quietly with the bodyguards brought by Chu Xuange. She raised an eyebrow slightly.
She reorganized the currently known information.
— Tribes and Field were friends for many years. Tribes was Field's muse, and Field was Tribes's exclusive designer.
Prince Peter and Blanche had private contact, but the specifics of their relationship are unknown. Field and Prince Peter also knew each other.
Beatrice was the idol of the renowned scholar Mrs. Seneca. Beatrice did not know either the collector Lausher or the renowned scholar Seneca.
"So you are the legendary Mr. Field. It's an honor to meet you."
They exchanged pleasantries, while Pei Hening rested her head on her hand, quietly watching their interaction.
She suddenly asked, "Mr. Field, where do you live?"
Chu Xuange looked over, his eyes gentle: "24th floor."
The Dawn Casino's luxury suites are located on floors 22 to 27, with four suites on each floor, just enough to accommodate all players.
The 24th floor is quite far from the 27th floor; at least, Pei Hening felt it was a bit far.
Prince Peter asked, "Have you seen any of the other guests who came to see the Happy Circus performance?"
The renowned scholar Senasi shook his head: "So far, I've only met a few of you."
Collector Lausa was the same.
The group appeared to be chatting casually, but in reality, they wanted to exchange information, including why they had come to Nerna Port to watch the Happy Circus performance.
The renowned scholar Senasi and collector Lausa live on the 22nd floor, while Prince Peter lives on the 25th floor.
Collector Lausa came to watch the Happy Circus performance in order to find someone to buy his collection.
The renowned scholar Senasi, on the other hand, came to gamble.
When it was Prince Peter's turn, he remained vague and unclear in his speech.
Pei Hening understood what he meant; Prince Peter did not want to tell everyone the purpose of his visit to watch the Happy Circus performance.
Pei Hening only said that she came to promote the Port of Nernana.
Chu Xuange's purpose was simpler: he came to follow his muse, Tribes.
After exchanging information, Pei Hening realized that Prince Peter was not sincere and didn't want to stay any longer. She stood up and said, "I'm going to get something to eat. Please feel free to do as you please."
Chu Xuange followed behind her: "Excuse me."
Cui Bisi's bodyguard stepped forward, folded the pale yellow silk neatly, and put it away, while Field's bodyguard followed at a distance.
Pei Hening lowered her voice and asked, "The 24th floor?"
"26th floor. I arrived earlier than you and wandered around the Dawn Casino, but I didn't find what I was looking for. I guess it might be related to the Happy Circus."
"The circus performance is at 6 pm tonight, what do you think?"
Chu Xuange: "There are no disabled items, talents, or weapons. I need to give it a try, baby. This dungeon is far more dangerous than you think."
Pei Hening nodded and then asked, "Where are the two guests who died?"
"In the storage room on the 14th floor, there was a man and a woman. They died in a very gruesome manner. Their limbs had been cut off and their heads were missing."
Upon hearing his description, Pei Hening couldn't help but get goosebumps: "How disgusting."
"What about their identities?"
"I don't know."
The two walked toward the restaurant, and as soon as they entered, they ran into [I'll bury you in money]. He was leaning against the bar, drinking one glass of wine after another.
Pei Hening felt a chill run down her spine whenever she saw him, thinking of that disgusting flirtatious look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Xuange sensed something was wrong and asked.
Pei Hening took a detour, with Chu Xuange following.
"Ms. Tribes, you seem to dislike me. Why?"
[I can bury you in money] He put down his wine glass at some point and looked up at the two people who were about to leave.
"Excuse me, perhaps I should introduce myself. I am Marshall, the heir to the Exxon Corporation."
Exxon Group is one of the world's largest oil companies.
[I can bury you in money] He's not embarrassed anymore. The persona the system gave him isn't his real self. He finally got to meet other players, so he has to exchange information!
In particular, he knew these two players who came over; they were practically acquaintances.
"I have nothing to say to you."
Pei Hening glanced at him indifferently and looked away with disdain.
[I can bury you in money]: "..."
Her expression of disgust was so obvious that it was impossible to ignore...
[I can bury you in money] Quickly adjusting her mood, and following her persona, she said after careful consideration, "Why? Ms. Tribes, I'm very hurt by what you said. After all, I'm still your fan."
Looking at his flippant expression and listening to his deliberately pitiful words, Chu Xuange couldn't sit still any longer. How could this love-struck fool be so disgusting!
"Mr. Marshall, I believe that as a gentleman, your behavior should not be so frivolous."
[I can bury you in money] immediately turned his attention to Chu Xuange: "What you said is indeed reasonable. I was presumptuous. I'll treat you to a meal as an apology, how about it?"
