Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the name Katerina blurted out, because in his impression, Mr. Luca has always been an old man in his seventies and eighties, and after all, he learned from the insiders he came into contact with.
As you know, this Mr. Luca has worked hard to make a fortune decades ago. After so many years, no matter how well Mr. Luca takes care of himself, he will definitely grow old due to the ravages of time.
But the sharp-eyed guy in front of him, who looked like a successful man in his fifties with a vigorous gait, completely shattered his inherent impression of Mr. Luca, making him unable to believe that this guy almost lived in Baikal City.
The legendary old man is actually so young!
"Well, Anthony, Matve and I had some important matters to discuss, so we temporarily used the office on the second floor. It's you."
Walking up to Katerina, Mr. Luka raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Cheng's face casually, and then asked her in a serious tone: "What are you doing here? I should have explained it to you before, right?
If you don’t have something particularly important to report, you must not set foot here casually!”
"I...that..."
Katerina, who has been living under the pressure of Mr. Luca for a long time, panicked the moment she saw the other party. Normally, although she would be afraid, she would not be so unbearable, but because of her this time
The purpose of coming here was not pure in the first place, and with the evil spirit Lin Cheng still standing by, she was worried that the situation would get completely out of control. Her mind was confused and she had no idea at all!
"Hello, dear Mr. Luca! Let me introduce myself. My name is Maxim. I am the boyfriend of Mrs. Luca's niece Sophia. I came to the banquet this time to visit Mrs. Luca on behalf of the sick Sophia.
, and secondly, I want to take the opportunity to get to know you!"
Seeing that this woman, Katerina, had become weak when things got tough, Lin Cheng couldn't help but secretly slandered her a few times, and then had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead personally.
"Sofia?...Oh Sophia!"
After hearing Lin Cheng's self-introduction, Mr. Luka did not reply immediately. Instead, he frowned and thought carefully. After a moment, he finally seemed to remember Sophia's identity. Mr. Luka then put away the serious look on his face.
With a faint smile, he stretched out his right hand and said to Lin Cheng: "Maxim, right? Nice to meet you."
"No, no, no, it's my honor to meet you!"
Lin Cheng waved his hand in fear, Lin Cheng quickly stretched out his right hand to shake the opponent's hand, and after letting go, he said: "I'm really sorry for today, because I wanted to see you so much, so I forced Mrs. Luka to do it.
I wanted her to take me to you, but I didn’t expect..."
"never mind."
Shaking his head slowly, Mr. Luka obviously didn't have much interest in Lin Cheng's identity and enthusiasm. He didn't even ask about the physical condition of Sophia, who Lin Cheng said was ill and couldn't come, and glanced at her again.
Katerina on the side took a look, turned around and said without looking back: "I won't be here to accompany you if I have something else to do. If you have nothing to do, please leave here as soon as possible."
With that said, he led his men on both sides and walked quickly towards the stairs.
Watching the three people leaving, the respectful look on Lin Cheng's face gradually faded. He stared behind Master Luka with squinted eyes for a few seconds, then raised his left hand, ready to take action before the other party came downstairs!
"Master Luca! God bless me for finding you!"
But just when the ice pick in Lin Cheng's hand had condensed and formed before he could take action, a burst of urgent shouting suddenly came from the stairwell. Along with the urgent shouting, an old man with a white beard wearing a black dress ran out panting.
When he came up, his expression became happy when he saw Mr. Luca, and he hurriedly said to him: "Sir, the guests downstairs already wanted to leave because of the weather, but because you haven't shown up for a long time,
Because of this, those guests cannot leave directly, so everyone is now waiting for you to show up to drink the banquet wine!"
"Really? Then get down quickly!"
After hearing the old man's report, Mr. Luka frowned, turned to look out the window, and found that the sky outside was getting dark at some point. Only then did he realize that he had been away from the table for so long without knowing it, and he would never leave again.
If he dared to delay, he followed the butler and hurried to the banquet hall on the first floor.
Watching Mr. Luka and the others disappear quickly at the top of the stairs, Lin Cheng, holding an ice pick in his hand, had a slightly cold expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
"You...why don't you take action?"
There was silence for a minute. Katerina, who had been silently observing the situation for a long time, pursed her lips and asked him softly.
"I'm here to cause trouble for Mr. Luka, not to declare war on all the ability users in the city."
After hearing Katerina's question, Lin Cheng shook his hand hard, crushed the ice pick into pieces, and replied to her in a cold voice.
"So you realize this too..."
Hearing Lin Cheng's answer, Katerina breathed a sigh of relief. What she had been most worried about was the uncontrollability of Lin Cheng. Although she knew the relationship between this unfathomable Chinese and Master Luka,
There must be a battle, but the time and place of this battle are very important. Once the timing is not precise enough, just like when Master Luka was connecting with the housekeeper just now, Lin Cheng's action was basically equivalent to setting a fire on fire.
An arsenal that can blow everyone to pieces!
Fortunately, Lin Cheng is not as impulsive and brainless as she imagined. She has lived under the oppression of Master Luka for a long time. Katerina actually wants to break out of this suffocating shackles more than anyone else, but she is just a person who has no
An ordinary person who has awakened any ability would not have any capital or strength to challenge Mr. Luka on her own. To her, Lin Cheng’s appearance was actually a ray of hope that symbolized hope. This is why she never
In the end, she did not resist or even actively cooperated because she wanted Lin Cheng to succeed more than anyone else. However, Lin Cheng's behavior before had really made her uneasy. Now she learned that the other party was actually a rough and a fine person.
After getting married, she could finally let go of her worries for the time being.
"I am indeed aware of this, and I think you should have realized this earlier than me, right?"
Clapping his hands casually, Lin Cheng took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth, lit it and took a deep drag, then narrowed his eyes and asked Katerina.
"Why do you ask?"
Hearing this, Katerina's heart sank slightly, but her expression remained unchanged as she asked. (To be continued)
